The Academy's Barbarian - Chapter 392 (Complete))
Afterword: Ulaanbaatar (completed))
1.
The season when winter is coming to an end.
There was still some time before school started, but Arsene's auditorium was crowded with many people..
Today is a day that only comes once a year.
Because it is the day of the graduation ceremony..
“ha.”
During the graduation ceremony.
Looking at this, Professor Ethan Arnoff sighed. It was with the most relieved expression among those gathered in the auditorium..
“Really, it's something to live for a long time to see.”
“Iknow, right. I hope this day will come.”
Professor Stella Natalia, who was by Ethan's side, was also a new face..
There is a reason why the disciples who have been teaching so far have been filled with emotions as they graduate, but there is another reason that accounts for a greater proportion than that..
It was because the person I thought would never graduate was standing on the podium in front of me..
“……Ulan.”
Alumni Representative, Ulan Bator.
A student from the barbarians who was the second graduate from Arsene after Noah Darshen last year..
Truly, a monster among monsters to the extent that it would not be inferior to being called the strongest. After reminiscing about Ulan, Ethan let out a laugh..
“From now on, the continent will be in an uproar.”
“Conversely, it will be quiet here..”
Stella also gave a light laugh..
Then, suddenly, he closed his mouth tightly and stared at Ulan on the podium. With her eyes mixed with her emotions, she pursed her lips..
“Actually I wasn't that bad.”
“hmm? what are you talking about?”
“I mean the time I spent with Ulan at the academy wasn't too bad..”
“……Is it a sane story??”
“That's what the word means. The feeling of feeling cool and strangely sad, even seniors know?”
At those words, Ethan closed his mouth for a moment..
It was because I understood what it meant. However, the time for empathy was short. Edan looked at Ulan again and replied in a low voice..
“However, when you send it, you have to send it. Because the academy is too small to hold that guy.”
“that's right.”
A smile formed on Stella's lips..
Aside from conversations with professors, the graduation ceremony went smoothly. It was thanks to the student council president who was hosting the event with a witty tone..
“Now, the next step is for the representative of the alumni to come out and start giving a speech.…….”
At that moment.
Suddenly, the student council president shut his mouth. Glancing at Ulan, he cleared her throat and corrected her words..
“Big! As written in the schedule, it is, but I will omit this. There are no plans to replace the windows in the auditorium this year..”
At the words mixed with jokes, the students burst into laughter at once. Of course, none of the professors who remembered the entrance ceremony five years ago laughed..
Ulan's speech was thus omitted, and the student council president, who was in charge of the presidency, came down from the podium with Ulan. Then he whispered.
“Congratulations on your graduation, senior..”
“thanks.”
“What. Ah, more than that, can't you just tell me where you're going??”
“that…….”
“Well, you're probably going to the Empire..”
As Ulan was about to answer, the student council president laughed awkwardly as if he had guessed it on his own. Ulan also kept her mouth shut and moved on..
some time after that.
The graduation ceremony of Arsene Academy, which started with the concerns of some professors, ended safely without any major incidents..
2.
Meanwhile, when the graduation ceremony was in full swing,.
The area near the entrance of the auditorium was so crowded that it was difficult to find a place to set foot. It was a gathering of family and friends to celebrate graduation..
There were quite a few spectators there..
This is because there are often many famous moguls among the people around graduates..
However, there were a lot of onlookers today..
It would be natural. Because the giants among the giants that are hard to see once in a lifetime are gathered in one place.
The tycoon who first caught the attention of these onlookers was a young man with ultramarine blue hair..
His handsome appearance was also his appearance, but what attracted more attention was the young man's status..
“Hey, that's not the paladin master?”
“What is the sword of Eloden doing here??”
“Do you have any acquaintances among the alumni??”
Paladin Master of the Holy Kingdom of Elloden.
Knight of the Saint's Guard, Ian Marcus.
As a being with a reputation for having talents and skills that surpass previous paladin masters, he is a tycoon who is making a name for himself..
Meanwhile, Ian just looked at the auditorium with a relaxed face, not paying attention to the gossips of the onlookers..
The change in Ian's expression began immediately after a familiar voice tapped his ear..
“Ian?”
A silver-haired girl approached with quick steps.
A mysterious being with large, golden eyes and pointed, elongated ears..
The Great Mage of the Stars, Dillia Arpen.
Ian smiled happily at the appearance of a colleague he hadn't seen in 4 years..
“Haha, it's been a while. dilia.”
“Came earlier than expected?”
“Yes, because I was on vacation. Anyway, Dillia is still there. Not much has changed since 4 years ago.”
The moment I greeted you generously.
Suddenly, Dillia's eyes grew cold..
“……What do you mean, what do you mean??”
“no, of course it means good!”
Along with him, Ian, realizing his mistake, smiled awkwardly and waved his hand. Luckily, Dillia didn't take Ian's words seriously..
“Rather, Laurea?”
“I drank too much yesterday, so I'm a bit late..”
“He hasn't changed.”
Dillia sighs softly..
After that, while I was exchanging conversations with Ian, someone suddenly started talking to me from behind..
“hello everyone.”
A voice I heard without pretending to be popular.
Dillia pricked up her ears in surprise, and Ian flinched as well. But for a while, he checked the other person and made a fuss..
“Sven! How have you been??”
“I just had a normal life.”
Cat Man Hunter, Sven Isaac.
He became a nobleman of Seren Kingdom and was more famous by the nickname Shingo (神弓) instead of his name..
In fact, the moment Sven showed his presence, there was a moment of commotion in the hall..
“Anyway, the graduation ceremony seems to be coming to an end, but this is the only thing that has come yet.?”
“oh that's it…….”
The moment Ian was about to explain everything to Sven's question, the front door suddenly became noisy..
After a while, I felt a familiar presence along with a much larger number of onlookers than before..
“It's scary to say the end.”
Ian bursts out laughing.
With his murmur, there was someone who made his way through the crowd and appeared..
A beauty with golden hair down to her back and turquoise eyes. She noticed Ian waving her hand and came straight over here..
“Wow, it's been a while everyone.”
Swordswoman, Ybela Elead.
It is called the sixth sword of the Ruben Empire and is a master's strongman who is said to have surpassed his father, Istan El Deorg, a long time ago..
Of course, this was only a word limited to those who had nothing to do with her, and to the warriors gathered here, she was just a comrade..
After a short break-up time.
Ibella's gaze turned to Dillia, who was sitting with her. In the brief snowball fight that followed, this Bella pursed her lips..
“I must have made up my mind?”
“suddenly, what a sound?”
“I'm asking if you're ready to surrender to the results and return to the principality calmly..”
“joy. who, do, sound.”
Dillia snorted..
Ibella also replied in a voice as cold as her face, with a cold smile on her face..
“Looking forward to it. In a little while, we'll be able to put an end to the long, long evil relationship..”
Gazes colliding in the air.
Looking at the intense clash, Ian smiled awkwardly. Meanwhile, he remembered the letter Laurea had sent him..
On the day Ulan graduates from the academy, he will answer whose confession he will answer..
Then Sven murmured briefly..
“It remains to be seen whether it will be a bad relationship or this place to put an end to it?”
“……don't say stupid things.”
If women who were not chosen by Ulan go on a rampage, this will turn into reality..
Ian shook his head at the ominous sound he heard. Then I heard a familiar voice.
“Phew, they still high.”
A woman who appeared with a sigh.
She approached, brushing through her turquoise hair, and casually put her arm around Ian's shoulder..
“I don't even have the energy to fight like that. Is it because I'm getting old?”
“It's not my age, it's probably because I've been drinking.”
“Whoops, that's right too.”
Former saintess, Laurea Lo Charpell.
She smiled pleasantly as if she liked Sven's answer. Ian also greeted with a soft smile..
“It's been a while, lady..”
“I know. I'm not a saint anymore.”
“Do you ever think of returning to the Holy Land?…….”
“doesn't exist. Why do you ask?”
“The King asked me to ask. Anyway, then I'll tell you that.”
Looking at Ian, who was scratching his cheek awkwardly, Laurea gave a pitiful look..
“you still have a lot of trouble.”
“If you know please come back and help me.”
“I hate it.”
Laurea answers lightly.
Ian smiled unconsciously..
It was only now that she threw off the heavy shackles of being a saint and finally felt a subtle sense of relief at the fact that she looked like a woman her age..
and then.
I heard a familiar voice again.
“oh! everyone is here.”
A person wearing a white robe.
A mysterious woman with hair whiter than her robe and bright red eyes like a hare. Evela and Dillia's eyes widened at her appearance..
“Pepe, Pertishia?!”
“what? you can come here?”
Of course I was surprised.
Pertisia Ib al Ruben.
Because she ascended the throne as the next emperor of the Ruben Empire last fall. Perhaps it could be called the greatest of all those gathered here..
“yes We have an escort, so don't worry.”
Meanwhile, Perticia smiled brightly and pointed at the man in the black robe who was with her. It was the sword of the imperial family, the knight of the emperor's escort, Jul Orden of Saxony..
“You allowed me to go out..”
“……Better than sneaking out.”
“Ahaha, you're having a hard time.”
Ian let out an awkward laugh at the sighing Saxon..
“So, did we all come together with this??”
“huh? Noah hasn't come yet?”
At that time, Perticia, who was looking around, mentioned Noah, who was not there yet. At those words, Evela and Dillia furrowed their brows..
“what? don't you live near here?”
“And yet, being late?”
“Originally, the closer you live, the more relaxed you are for some reason, so you tend to be late, right?.”
Perticia spoke as if defending Noah..
It made some sense, but Ibella and Dillia nodded their heads. Until you hear Perticia's words that follow.
“I understand that I am often late for government affairs.!”
“no, it shouldn't be too late!”
“……Lord Saxony, you are really suffering..”
Ian comforted Saxony once more with Ibella screaming with a bewildered face..
Around the time when the story blossomed again in such a noisy atmosphere.
A latecomer has appeared.
“Phew, sorry everyone. too late?”
Black-haired woman wearing red glasses.
Boasting pale skin and a neat beauty comparable to those gathered here.
It was Noah Darschen, a stranger who became a graduate student at Arsene Academy last spring..
“haha, it's ok It looks like the graduation ceremony has just ended..”
“You just have to arrive earlier than Ulan..”
Ian and Sven greeted her.
Meanwhile, Ibella looked closely at Noah's face and spoke to her as if she was worried..
“better than that? I'm not talking stupid?”
“Uh, stop doing chores…….”
“Why are you having trouble buying it? Just follow me to our county.”
“In that case, rather, the principality is better. Countess, rather than contract workers, civil servants are more stable.”
Ybela and Dillia, who gave answers in succession, glared at each other again and bickered..
But it didn't last that long.
Because the door to the tightly closed auditorium was open.
“I guess it's over now.”
Shortly after Sven's murmur, graduates began pouring out of the auditorium..
Shortly thereafter, a familiar face that made everyone's eyes come alive also appeared..
The protagonist of this place today.
It was Ulaanbaatar.
3.
A little far from the main auditorium.
With a round table in the middle, everyone sat around. Ulan lowered his head as he looked at his colleagues who attended his graduation ceremony despite being busy..
“It's been a while everyone.”
“That's it. It's been 4 years.”
“You haven't really changed either.”
Following Ian, Sven also laughed out loud..
It's like I didn't know that I'd be bare-chested even on a day like this. After a while, Ulan solved the past with everyone..
A lot of memories and stories came and went, and the time was finally coming to an end. Ulan brought out the business that brought everyone together..
“I have something to say to everyone.”
At that moment, the hall was silent..
The tension that lingers behind. Perhaps it is a more intense feeling than the decisive battle with the abyss. Knowing this or not, Ulan continued to speak to her..
“I finally made a decision about what I had been thinking about for a long time. So I made this place to let everyone know my thoughts..”
A voice full of determination.
Did you feel this? This Bella nodded her head and smiled softly..
“Yeah, tell me when you're ready.”
“I will obey Ulan's will.”
“Whoops, I can't wait?”
“I'll wait for your wise decision!”
Following her words, Dillia, Laurea, and Perticia each added their own answers..
Noah only nodded, but his eyes shone as intensely as the other four girls..
With everyone's eyes on one body.
Ulan closed his eyes in silence..
‘A lot has happened in the past.’
I recalled until I reached here.
The days when I faced the abyss.
Memories of life at the academy and being confessed to by five girls one after another. From the crisis of grade retention to the moment of graduation that finally met.
Going through countless processes, Ulan went through various troubles differently from his past life. Meanwhile, Noah gave this advice.
「I think simply.」
One day I went for a walk with Noah.
She said to Ulan.
「I don't have to be considerate of everyone, so Ulan moves as he pleases. It's better for everyone, including me..」
Noah's advice was very helpful.
Thanks to this, Ulan was freed from the bondage of worries and realized what he truly sought..
and at this moment.
It's your turn to tell everyone about your decision. Ulan opened his eyes and immediately opened his mouth..
“I am…….”
in a gloomy atmosphere.
Everyone swallowed dry saliva. After the fleeting moment that felt only long passed, a word tinged with firm determination flowed out..
“want to go to graduate school.”
and at that moment.
Everyone turned into stone statues. Neither the expression nor the voice came out as hard as stone..
“……what?”
Ibella, who was the first to come to her senses, asked back with a blank face. Then Ulan continued her words as if he had waited..
“The magic lecture I took as a minor in the last semester was quite interesting. So, I plan to apply for graduate school in the Faculty of Magic..”
The answer continues like a rapid-fire cannon.
Ibella hurriedly waved her hand..
“wait a minute! wait a minute.”
“What can I say…….”
“It was about Ulan's career path.?”
Facing the girls who blankly ask.
Ulan answered seriously.
“okay. Because career is important.”
“It's important, but it's not!”
At that moment, Ibella, who could not stand it, exploded..
She wasn't the only one who exploded.
Dillia, Laurea, and Perticia, who always smiled, also lit twin wicks in their eyes..
Ulan asked with a bewildered face as if proving the fact that he had sunk his eyes into the abyss..
“hmm? what is not?”
“Confession, Confession! You said you would answer our confession after graduation..”
“Oh, that's what you mean.”
Ulan opened his eyes a little wide..
As if I just realized.
Then, the hall began to circle with tension again. It wasn't as much as before, but this time Ulan properly grasped the situation..
In the eyes of anticipation and suspense─.
Ulan said with a serious face..
“Actually, I haven't made a decision yet. So someday when you graduate from graduate school…….”
“tied up!”
Ibella's cry as a signal.
Ulan's limbs were bound by all sorts of magic and sorcery. The girls who subdued him in an instant said as if muttering with his eyes half-turned..
“……know how long we waited?”
“4It's a year. No, if you include the time you fought against the abyss, it's over 5 years..”
“But wait here again?”
“can't wait! So choose now.”
“In the first place, you can't graduate for the rest of your life by filling up your time like an academy! save people!”
As the girls who reached the limit of their patience ran out of control, the hall turned into a mess. Seeing this scene, Sven laughed as if it were absurd..
“It's a mess.”
“That's it. still…….”
“……?”
“My heart is at ease.”
“What are you talking about?”
“If Ulan had chosen one of the five, this relationship would have been broken..”
Someone who wasn't chosen would have given up on the uhlan, and someone else would have done whatever it took to claim it..
Such a relationship will only meet catastrophe.
Ian was therefore relieved that Ulan had withheld the decision. Of course, Ian was the only one who thought so, and Sven thought differently..
“I think it's already broken?”
The mayhem pointed by Sven's finger.
There, the passive girls who always waited for Ulan's decision did not exist..
There are only monsters who lose their reason due to runaways and go wild. Then, when the captured Ulan broke free and ran away, the situation became more intense..
“run away! don't miss!”
“catch unconditionally!”
Girls rolling their eyes and chasing Ulan.
Sven, who was watching this scene, realized the seriousness of the situation after a while..
“I don't think it should dry up soon?”
“I'll help. If the academy turns into ruins because of us, it will be difficult in many ways..”
Each of the five girls running amok in front of you is a monster that has reached the pinnacle of power. Even if one of the five goes wild, no one can stop it at the academy..
Sven and Ian, who realized this belatedly, quickly calmed down the situation..
some time after that.
After several days of struggle and negotiations, Ulan was finally able to get what it wanted..
4.
Ethan felt like he was dreaming.
For some reason, the Faculty of Magic asked for help, so I went to the professor's lab, and there I met an unexpected person..
“……why are you here?”
Interview for graduate students of the Faculty of Magic.
Ulan, who must have graduated last month, was sitting there. To Edan's question, Ulan responded in a non-trivial tone..
“I applied as a graduate student.”
“please get out!”
“I still have a lot to learn.”
“get out because there is no!”
“it's not you who decides…….”
“just get out!”
I thought the continent would be in an uproar because of Ulan's graduation, but the academy exploded..
Ethan shouted even as he drew blood from his neck in order to somehow expel Ulan from this place..
Of course, I didn't even eat the seeds..
“I hate it.”
Denial returned with a firm pitch.
Ulan replied with a smirk..
“Because I like this place.”
“this crazy……!”
Along with Ulan's words, Edan's face gradually turned red. Then, without even being able to utter her last words, she collapsed..
“professor! Calm down, professor.!”
“go get a stretcher quickly!”
Upside-Down Lab.
It wasn't the mood for an interview, so Ulan walked out of the lab, leaving behind Ethan, who fainted from foaming..
“I'm looking forward to the future.”
From now on, it will start in a new form─.
Dreaming of academy days.
