Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 23
(2)
3.
Ulan left the forest and went to the dormitory..
It was because I belatedly remembered the fact that personnel checks were conducted every morning. However, to begin with, Ulan could not return to the dormitory..
-Ulaanbaatar, Dylia Arpen. The two students, please come to the Dean's Office on the 9th floor of the Faculty of Magic Headquarters Building immediately..
Dean of the Faculty of Magic, Dipplin.
When she was mentioned, Ulan had a rough idea of the reason for the call..
‘special benefit.’
At the time of the magic detection test.
Dipplin promised to give you a special benefit apart from the score if you completely retrieve the magic golem's core..
Maybe he's trying to keep that promise..
Assessing the situation, Uhlan immediately changed his destination. But soon after he arrived at the headquarters building, a new problem greeted him..
“no. can't get in.”
Those who suddenly blocked the front of Ulan.
They were the guards guarding the headquarters building of the Faculty of Magic. And the reason the uhlans were denied entry was extremely simple..
“This is the ivory tower of wizards.”
“I can't let you in dressed like that.”
“If you want to go in, put on your clothes first..”
It was the dress that was the problem..
At the words of the guards, Ulan made a troubled expression. When he left the meadow, he didn't bring anything else with him..
So just as I was thinking about what to do, a familiar voice tapped my ear..
“Ulan?”
Silver hair falling down.
round golden eyes.
It was Dillia Arpen, a girl as beautiful as a sculpted doll. She must have heard Dipplin's call, too..
Meanwhile, Dillia tilted her head..
The look on his face asking why he is standing like that. Ulan, who read this at once, answered honestly..
“You can't get in this outfit..”
“ah.”
Dillia nodded in understanding.
She soon approached the guards. She then addressed her in her characteristic blunt tone..
“I have an appointment with Dipplin..”
“no matter how promise······.”
“It's hard to let them in dressed like that.”
The guards made a fuss.
Then a guard opened his eyes wide..
As if I noticed something belatedly.
“wait, deflin?”
It's a familiar name. Of course.
Dipplin Cernio was the name of the owner and dean of this Faculty of Magic building..
After a while, the three of them, who had been talking with stiff faces, asked in a cautious tone..
“······Are you Ulan and Dylia??”
“exactly.”
“that's right.”
Ulan and Dylia nodded. Then I glanced at my watch. It was an indirect pressure that I might be late for an appointment..
and it worked out.
“Whoa, I can't help it.”
“I will give you special access this time..”
“Put on at least this as soon as you are in a hurry, and wear it properly next time..”
It is not possible to deny entry to a student directly called by the dean. The guards reluctantly allowed the two to enter..
with a thin leather cape.
Perhaps it was a consideration to cover the bare upper body. Accepting this, Ulan went straight into the headquarters building..
Afterwards, the two put their bodies on an elevator powered by magic. In the elevator slowly moving toward the ninth floor, Dillia suddenly spoke to me..
“clothes, why not?”
“Because it's uncomfortable.”
The reason why Ulan didn't wear clothes was because he wasn't used to the sensation of leather or cloth brushing his skin..
I also didn't like the tight pressure on my forearms, chest, and shoulders. But if you take it off, all problems are solved. so he went naked.
“not cold?”
“I don't tolerate the cold well.”
His body is strong enough to be said to be blessed. Also, if you get used to the activation of the spirit, you can solve the considerable cold and heat..
Meanwhile, after Ulan's answer.
Dillia scanned Ulan's body with sparkling eyes. Her eyes were curious, as if she had discovered a creature she had never seen before..
【9reached the floor.】
【After a while, the door opens.】
The elevator reached its destination.
When the door opened, a cool, stretched hallway came into view. Since the dean's office was at the end of the east side, the two of them moved quickly..
then.
Dillia spoke again..
“shoulder is fine?”
Why are you suddenly asking how my shoulder is doing??
As Ulan looked at him curiously, Dillia recalled the memories of yesterday and said,.
“To the golem, you were right..”
“I? when?”
“Yesterday, you protected me.”
Was it? Ulan scratched her head.
I remember hitting the golem with my fist, but I don't remember getting hit the other way..
Of course, there was some physical contact with the golem in the process of covering Dillia. But I won't use the expression that it was only that much right.
‘No blood, no broken bones.’
According to Uhlan's standards, a beating counts only if the skin is torn and the bones are crushed. Other than that, it's just a brush.
That's why I thought I only briefly touched the golem, but I didn't think I was hit..
Then what did you hit??
Ulan looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if he did not understand. And Dillia was also flustered..
‘what? why don't you pretend not to know?’
Ulan must have been hit by a golem.
Puck that too! loud enough to sound.
It even happened just yesterday, so why do you react like you don't know? As if you're trying to treat yesterday's events as if they never happened.
The moment I thought this far.
Suddenly, there was a guess that passed through my mind..
‘ah! if······.’
do you want to take care of me?
It may be that he is trying to make yesterday's incident completely unnecessary, so that he will not feel hurt because of himself..
No, this is the most plausible hypothesis. Otherwise, there's no way I'd show this attitude.
‘I didn't notice.’
Contrary to what it looks like, there is a delicate side.
With that thought in mind, Dillia quickly closed her mouth. She decided to accept Ulan's consideration with her gratitude..
Meanwhile, when Dillia didn't say anything, Ulan ignored it too. Thinking that she was mistaken for another guy.
When I was walking down the aisle without a word.
Ulan spoke first this time..
“dilia.”
“uh, uh?”
“Do you have any guesses about the special benefits that Dean Dipplin was talking about??”
The moment Dipplin's name was mentioned.
her face hardened.
“I don't know. but······.”
“but?”
“······Goon Goong, there is.”
Opponent is that deflin.
No matter how much special benefits were promised, they would not be willing to give them away..
There must be a dark ulterior motive.
Dillia was so sure.
After a while, the two arrived in front of the dean's office. Immediately, something caught their attention..
Dipplin's note on the door.
It was meant to come in one by one..
“I'll go in first.”
“i get it.”
Because the order doesn't really matter.
So I gave up my turn.
After that, about ten minutes or so had passed.
Dipplin's voice came from inside..
“Come in, Ulan..”
It seems that the conversation with Dillia is over..
Ulan went straight into the room. Strangely, however, Dillia was nowhere to be seen..
“Dillia is?”
“If it was him, he left first..”
Dipplin answers with a smile.
She pointed to the separate elevator in the corner of the dean's office. It probably means that it went down through it..
“First of all, congratulations on passing.”
“thank you.”
“Without further ado, I'll get straight to the point. The reason I called you is to give you the special benefit I promised you the other day..”
Ulan's prediction was correct.
He waited silently for Dipplin to speak. And before long her mouth opened.
“I'll grant you one wish.”
“wish?”
“Yes, of course, but I will only listen to what is possible. Just one. There is no option to postpone or later.”
to speak at this place.
Ulan stared at Dipplin in silence..
‘It's a wish.’
there is anything you wish for.
The real reason Ulan entered the academy.
A clue to reach the 'superhuman level'. And to find information about 'the most powerful weapon in the world'.
I heard that all the knowledge that exists in the world exists in Arsene Academy..
‘If so, there must be clues and information that can help you reach the level of a superhuman..’
Ulan believed so.
So the moment I was about to speak honestly, I shut my mouth again. The reason was in Dipplin's eyes.
‘······Eyes looking for something.’
Through various incidents in his past life, Ulan developed a certain degree of human-seeing eyes..
And now, Dipplin's eyes were like those of an eagle owl. The eyes of a hunter watching his prey.
When I was watching this.
Dillia's words suddenly came to mind..
Saying that Dipplin has an ulterior motive. Thus Ulan soon concluded.
‘I'd rather not say this.’
I decided to hide the information about the superhuman level for now..
Let's say something other than this.
When I was starting to worry about something new, Dipplin suddenly spoke to me..
“You don't have to think hard.”
A gentle voice.
A voice as sweet as honey tapped on Ulan's ear..
“You just have to say what you want most right now. And if it's something I can handle, I'll do it right away.”
“······.”
If it was Ulan before returning, it would have been shaken. That's why her voice was sweet and somehow attracted..
However, it did not work for Ulan now..
After letting Dipplin's words go through one ear, he continued his thoughts without wavering. Then he made a decision.
“I've been living like this all along.”
“yes?”
“Maybe that's why it was hard to adapt to wearing clothes. So please allow me to roam freely in this outfit..”
Ulan finished his answer, recalling the time when he was denied entry by the guards earlier..
Dipplin asked back as if he was perplexed..
“uh, that's a wish?”
“Yes.”
“I don't want anything else?”
“does not exist.”
a series of stern answers.
Dipplin frowned..
“Don't just cut it off, think about it some more. For example, don't you like things like how to quickly build magic or rare magic books??”
“I am satisfied with this wish.”
He already knew how to quickly build mana. It's because you can swallow the devil's core. And the spell book wasn't needed at all for Ulan either..
“Is it an impossible wish?”
“Oh no. That much is possible.”
Deflin shook his head..
“But are you really satisfied with this? really? Opportunities like this don't come often?”
“that's enough.”
“Phew, I get it. Then I'll tell the guards so they can walk around in that outfit starting today..”
“thank you for caring.”
Ulan lowered his head slightly..
Dipplin, on the other hand, sighed..
As if the preparations didn't go well.
4.
Awesome! thud!
with the sound of a door closing.
Ulan left the dean's office.
A celebrity that is getting farther and farther away. Eventually, the presence completely disappeared, and Dipplin collapsed on the desk..
“oh, i'm not going.”
Deeplin pouting his lips with a chubby face.
Originally, her plan was.
First of all, we use the wish as an excuse to find out what Ulan wants. Anything, whether it be a thing, a person, or knowledge.
And after getting it one step ahead, I was thinking of using it as bait to urge cooperation in various researches.······.
“I guess it made me wary.”
I hope you make a wish like that.
Dipplin frowned..
Not only that.
Unlike the last time I saw him at the test site, I didn't feel any magical energy from the Ulan I saw today. Even the two bowls of mana that had settled in the small intestine disappeared without a trace..
“Probably hidden on purpose.”
there is only one reason.
Because he is wary of Deflin. It can be seen as a loss because it is only raising vigilance, but that does not mean that it is only a loss..
Because I realized that what Ulan was hiding wasn't just a bowl of mana..
‘He's hiding his real skills.’
He erased the traces of magic enough to deceive the eyes of the great mage, Dipplin, and even concealed the vessel of mana..
This cannot be explained unless you have outstanding skills. Unless you destroyed the Mana Vessel by yourself..
‘Also, the fact that the result of 100 horsepower came out in the horsepower measurement was probably intentional..’
One hundred horsepower is the minimum requirement to be called a wizard. It is impossible to adjust these numbers exactly to the number of 100 unless it is intentional..
‘to sum it up······.’
Uhlan is wary of Deeplin.
And his magic skills are so good that he completely hides the bowl of mana he holds in his collection..
Lastly, I don't know why, but he's deliberately hiding his skills. It is proof that only 100 horsepower came out in horsepower measurement.
could be summarized like this.
“The more I look at him, the funnier he is.”
The corner of his smiling mouth went up slightly..
I want to take it to the lab right away and find out more. everything from head to toe.
but i couldn't.
“There are too many eyes on me now.”
Currently, uhlans have become a prominent presence..
He is the top passer of the entrance exam..
In addition, two professors from the military department coveted him, and Berg, who could be said to be Arsene's second-in-command, was keeping an eye on Ulan..
Dipplin was well aware that rash actions in such circumstances could do more harm than good..
“Well, I'll be fine with this for now.”
So I decided to take it easy.
Ulan is a freshman who has just entered.
There are 4 years left until graduation. There must be a way to get them to the lab somehow..
“Looking forward to the future.”
Dipplin's eyes burned like candles. It was the gaze of a wizard, mad with curiosity and research..
