The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 260

12.
Some time after breaking up with Ulan and Ibela.
Looking at the black-haired girl who appeared out of nowhere, Sylphy narrowed her eyes..
‘……Noah Darshen.’
A girl from the barbarian tribe who is her classmate and enrolled with Ulan..
A person who achieved the splendid achievement of a draw by facing Dillia, the genius magician of the Principality, in the preliminary round..
All I knew was this.
‘Other than that, there was no contact..’
In the first place, the only students who can say that there is a point of contact are Ulan and Ibela, whom they just met. Let alone interact with Noah, she has never even talked to her..
But what's the matter all of a sudden?
Syrpy asked in a puzzled voice..
“you want to ask? to me?”
“Yeah, nothing special, but I have a few questions about the Southern Desert..”
“Ah, something about the desert…….”
A word that came out so naturally.
Syrupy, who unconsciously nodded, immediately made a surprised expression..
“Yes, it's a desert.?”
Usually in the Empire, the desert is recognized as the stronghold of the cultists. But what is the intention of asking yourself about the desert??
An ominous feeling.
Shirpy felt his heart thump loudly and made an effort to put on a calm expression..
“why do you ask me that?”
It was with an expression of no idea.
But it didn't work for Noah. She seemed not to be taken aback in the slightest, and continued her answer with a dazzling smile..
“That's right, you'll know.”
Normally, Noah is not the type to ask direct questions or ask questions like this. He must have talked round and round or asked a question subtly..
but not now.
‘'cause there's no time.’
About half an hour left.
If the election for the next student president is over and the final exams are taken, winter vacation will begin immediately..
Then Noah has to leave for the desert with Ulan and his party. I didn't have time to linger around and pry..
So I threw a fastball.
“Sirpi Rudric.”
“……!?”
“If you are a blood relative of Kazan Rudric and a member of the Desert Church, surely you are more knowledgeable about the desert than other people.?”
As soon as the words were finished, Syrupy's face was startled. Her complexion was pale and her eyes were wandering as if they had lost their way..
On the other hand, she is not the only one who is nervous..
Noah also swallowed dry saliva..
‘It's a gamble here.’
The only information that Noah had clearly grasped about Syrupy was what he just said. However, this fact was not disclosed or disclosed..
It was to make Syrpy mistaken that he knew everything else..
‘get caught.’
So I waited silently for an answer.
After a not-so-short period of time, Sylphy's lips, which had been tightly closed, murmured..
“stand, no way…….”
Your eyes sway like a candle in the wind.
Caught! Observing Syrpy's reaction, Noah was convinced. But what followed was something completely unexpected..
“Did Count Deorg send you??”
“……yes?”
istan el deorg.
He is one of the Five Swords of the Empire and the father of Ybela Elead..
Meanwhile, when an unexpected name came out, Noah made an absurd expression. Then Syrpy stepped back and yelled at her..
“If that's the case, that's all I told the Count last time! I don't even know!”
Syrpy showing a violent reaction.
She hesitated and took a step backwards, but after opening some distance with Noah, she continued talking in gibberish..
“Uh, I have nothing more to say anyway. Also, the Count said he was coming this week anyway, so excuse me.!”
“yes? no, wait……!”
Noah hurriedly reached out his hand at the sight of Syrpy kicking the ground. But he was so fast that I couldn't catch him..
After Syrpy completely disappeared,.
Noah, who was alone, had a blank look on his face..
“……what the hell happened?”
Why is Count Deorg here??
Noah couldn't hide his bewilderment at the sudden mention of his name. But even for a moment, she closed her eyes as she leaned against her tree..
It was to clear up the situation..
‘let's sort it out.’
Noah contacted Syrpy to resolve his curiosity about the desert. He then bluntly stated her true name and identity..
It was to induce a confession while appealing that I know everything about you..
‘however…….’
Here, Syrpy suddenly mentioned the existence of Count Deorg. Noah, pondering this fact, quickly came to a conjecture..
『Istan el Deorg knows what Sirfi Rudric really is..』
I don't know how you found out.
It is most likely intuition.
Earl Deorg had a reputation in the south for decades and was called a heathen hunter..
‘But why did you keep Sirpy alive??’
A cold-blooded man who executes all infidels, regardless of the old man, woman, or child. This is the character setting of Count Deorg from the original work..
In other words, if you look at this alone, there would be no reason for him to keep Syrupy alive. But if he was kept alive, there must be a reason..
Noah had a vague idea of what it was..
‘He's probably looking for a helper who helped Cyrpi get into Arsene Academy..’
It's quite a serious problem that a great noble who cooperates with the heathen is hiding in the empire..
Or, it may have been kept alive to ask for information about the Desert Church. Noah finished organizing and grasping the situation like that..
‘So, what do we do from now on??’
Should I contact Sylphy again??
Or should I discuss it with Ulan and solve it together??
Noah's choice was the latter.
‘Okay, let's talk to Ulan..’
If he made contact with Sylphy again, there was a high possibility that he would run away again. So it would be better to discuss this with Ulan and meet Count Deorg first..
After mentioning the Count's name, Syrupy looked very frightened..
‘So, after meeting Count Deorg and explaining the situation, you should ask for his cooperation..’
Noah nodded and smiled..
Then, feeling more at ease, I turned around. It was to find and move to where Ulan and the other colleagues were..
13.
Meanwhile at that time.
Ulan and Ibela stopped distributing leaflets and immediately joined Iris. It was to convey the student council conspiracy I heard from Syrpy..
“……Something like that happened.”
Was it because it was a serious situation??
Everyone who helped Iris' election campaign gathered in one place. Eventually Camilla, realizing what she was doing, bit her lip and let out her low moan..
“I hope it will come out like this.”
“Hey, what do I do now?”
Excluding Ulan and the others, the students supporting Iris stomped their feet..
An expression with a clear look of nervousness.
At that time, Perticia, who was silently organizing the story, came up with a standard response..
“How about talking to the professors??”
“it's probably useless.”
“yes? why?”
“Professors aren't interested in the election for student president. Above all, there is no clear evidence.”
As Camilla said, Ulan and Ibela were the only ones who heard these stories from Syrpi..
Without physical evidence to prove the student council's conspiracy, it was impossible to condemn them. When the dark atmosphere enveloped the hall again.
“I have a way.”
The little silver-haired girl opened her mouth..
Dillia Arpen. On the other hand, all eyes on her immediately turned to her. Soon after, Dillia's lips moved..
“to mark, to give, to.”
“it's a sign?”
“Yes, it is to give a unique mark to the designated ballot. Then you will be able to prevent additional votes from flowing in..”
Star Cluster Magic, Constellation Mark.
It is a magic that engraves a constellation on an object or creature and emits bright light..
And currently, only Dillia Arpen can use cluster magic at the academy..
“Mmm, sure the method isn't bad.”
It means that if the sign of the constellation is assigned to the ballot according to the number of voters, the conspiracy concocted by the student council will come to naught..
Iris, who understood Dillia's explanation, nodded as if it was okay. Conversely, Camilla was still concerned..
“But to make that happen, you have to consult with the Election Commission. But as I said earlier, they support the current student council.…….”
In this case, the situation is back to square one..
This solution will not start until the Election Commission accepts Dillia's proposal..
The heavy silence that came over and over again.
However, the quiet time was not long.
“If that's the case, leave it to me.”
The door that had been firmly closed opened wide, and someone strode into the room..
A girl with black hair and blue eyes. Recognizing her, Iris gently opened her eyes wide..
“no, noah cadet?”
“is there any good way?”
“yes No matter how powerful the Election Commission is, it will not be stronger than Dean Erkazan. Yes?”
Noah Asks Iris and Camilla.
The two answered in bewilderment..
“well, that's it, of course…….”
“Dean Erkazan of the Military Faculty is not someone you can easily meet, isn't it??”
“are you okay. Ulan and I are the exception..”
Noah replied with a smile and looked at Ulan to add credibility to what he had just said..
At the same time, Ulan nodded..
“Yes, as Noah said..”
Ulan and Noah made a contract with Marquis Gorfant. Instead of cooperating with the Empire in the future, I decided to become their guardian..
And since Berger Erkazan, the dean of the military department, was also a member of the Empire, there was a very high possibility that he would grant this request..
“We must fight power with power..”
After answering, Noah laughed evilly..
The Election Commission has so much power that it dares not deal with it..
14.
some time after that.
The issue of fraudulent elections was surprisingly easily resolved. As expected by Noah, it was thanks to Dean Erkazan accepting Dillia's proposal..
“Excuse me then.”
Noah bowed his head politely and left the dean's office. After telling this fact, she called all her colleagues to her place..
Ulan, Ybela, Dylia, and Pertisia.
It was with the words that there was something to say.
“huh? we have something to say?”
“Election, related, problem?”
Everyone's attention was focused on that, perhaps because of helping Iris with her election campaign..
Ulan was an exception..
He knew why Noah had disappeared and not helped with the election campaign..
“Is it about the desert?”
“yes that's right.”
Noah nodded meekly.
Soon she turned to everyone and said.
“First of all, I met Sylphy Ludhina while you guys were helping with the election campaign..”
“Yes? Sylphy?”
“What does Sylphy have to do with the desert??”
An unexpected name that popped up out of nowhere.
Ybela and Ulan were the first to react. It was because only two of the people gathered at the moment were close friends with Syrupy..
“It has a very deep connection. Because Sylphy is a descendant of Kazan Rudric's blood..”
“……!?”
Ibella wide-eyed.
Ulan also twitched his eyebrows..
Watching the reaction of the two, Noah brought out the real name of Sylphy Ludhina..
“Sirpi Rudric. He is a cultist from the southern desert and entered the academy by hiding his identity for some purpose..”
“Shih, Sylphy is a desert pagan.……?”
“As far as I know, yes.”
Leaving the bewildered Ibella behind.
Noah looked back at Ulan..
“Anyway, I investigated based on this fact, but to say the conclusion, I couldn't get the information I wanted. Instead, I heard an unexpected story..”
Count Istan el Deorg.
Ibela's expression began to change moment by moment as she brought up the related story..
Eventually, towards the end of Noah's explanation, Ibella muttered as if she had suddenly remembered something..
“Well, come to think of it, I received a letter saying that I will drop by the academy this Thursday.…….”
“Well, almost, sure.”
Dillia silently nodded..
The proof was that what Sirpi said and Count Deorg's actions matched..
“Then we can talk together then.”
“yes, i think so too.”
Noah also replied.
As if agreeing with Ulan's words.
On the other hand, unlike her colleagues, Yvela was still in shock. Leaving her behind, Ulan looked at her Noah..
“i have something to tell you.”
“huh? what is it?”
“Among the student council officers, I found a guy who smelled like an Abyssal Worshiper..”
“……yes?”
This time it was Noah's turn to be surprised..
Seeing her blinking wide-open eyes, Ulan summarized the situation in the plaza in front of the library and delivered it..
Furthermore, all the stories about Droga's leaves that I heard from Syrpi. Hearing everything, Noah immediately searched for her memory..
‘Elvin Addict.’
It is a name that even Noah knows well..
He was a villain in the original work, and he was a candidate for Iris's opponent like the current situation..
‘But in the original story, Alvin…….’
Has nothing to do with Abyssal Worshipers.
That's why, of course, he didn't even use Droga's leaves. I just colluded with the Election Commission and led Iris into a trap..
‘Where did the situation go wrong??’
Noah furrowed his brow..
In the meantime, Ulan said as if tossing.
“So I'm thinking of doing some research.”
“I, too, decided to help Ulan..”
“me too!”
Dylia and Perticia announced their intention to support Ulan. Noah, freed from her thoughts, nodded silently..
“Yeah, you'd better do some research for sure. So, when do you plan to start the investigation??”
Immediately after Noah's question.
Ulan turned his gaze to the western sky..
Then, while staring at the sky where the sun was setting, he opened his mouth..
“Right Now.”
The night is coming soon.
It is the perfect time to hide in the dark shade and investigate behind the scenes. After answering, Ulan's eyes turned dark..
