The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 51

(5)

11.

After the bland second game.

Soon the curtain rises for the next game.

Two students who appeared on the field in turn. The professors of the Military Faculty all blinked their eyes. Because both of them were students at the center of the topic.

curly brown hair.

shirtless savage.

Of the two, it was definitely the nobleman who first monopolized the attention of the professors..

“Your posture is great. I'm fine walking.”

“Did you say that it was the level of an intermediate level knight??”

“It was until the entrance exam, but recently they said they broke through the wall..”

“what? already?”

A surprised professor.

With the newly revealed facts, the professors looked at the scion with more interesting eyes.

Himmel Theorg.

He is one of the five masters of the Empire, the heir to the blood of Count Deorg. So, of course, you have to be interested..

“Does that mean it's high level now?.”

“Really? That's amazing. He's only nineteen years old, but he's already at the level of a high-ranking knight.······.”

“It's also Deorg's bloodline..”

“His swordsmanship is excellent and his senses are also good, so he is a talented person with a promising future..”

successive compliments.

After you finish praising until your mouth dries up.

Next, the gaze was directed to another contestant. It was Ulan. However, her eyes were quite different from when she looked at Himel..

If the gaze toward Hamel was mixed with curiosity, interest, and anticipation, it was the exact opposite now..

“To be honest, I can't believe it.”

“Is that an expert?.”

“Of course, when I recall the eccentricity of the entrance ceremony, I understand it to some extent, but······.”

displeasure, disgust, distrust, etc..

There was not a single benevolent feeling in his gaze toward Ulan. To the point of denying the rumors that have spread recently.

“Perhaps the rumors are exaggerated..”

“you're right. If true, the faculty would have been upset a long time ago..”

“Well, that makes sense.”

Professors making their own conclusions.

Meanwhile, Ethan, who overheard the professors' conversation not far away, clicked his tongue low..

‘shit, you stupid bastards.’

The ones sitting in front of me were the authors, whose names were professors of the Military Faculty. Professors from Arsene Academy, the best educational institution on the continent..

However, it was because he was caught in the prejudice that he was from a barbarian tribe, and it was funny that he couldn't even appreciate the jewel in front of him..

‘And the faculty was turned upside down a long time ago.’

Furthermore, even the military was overturned.

As much as that, Ulan is a person who is at the center of the topic in the empire. Deorg's lineage has long since disappeared from memory..

Whether they knew Ethan's intentions or not, the professors were just guessing..

“So how much do you think your skills will be??”

“well, well.”

“Haven't you just reached intermediate level??”

“Of course, the incident that occurred in the auditorium was shocking, but in fact, it is difficult to see it as an expert..”

Really, those things are also professors..

Ethan kept a sneer inside..

Because it was a rumor spread by lowering the level of expert. Suddenly, a professor turned to him..

“What do you think Professor Ethan??”

with a sudden question.

All the professor's eyes turned to Ethan..

It was worth it. Ethan Arnoff is one of the most talented professors in the Department of Military Science..

Because he was a strong man who reached expert.

‘I think······.’

Himel Deorg wants to tell you that even if a hundred men attack, Uhlan will not be matched..

but couldn't.

Since the upper level has already been instructed not to disclose any information about Ulan,.

So I just gave a rough answer.

“I hope you don't get hurt too much.”

It was a rather sudden answer, but the professors seemed to understand what it meant..

“haha, don't worry about that.”

“that's right. Himel Deorg is a student who knows how to be considerate of others. And that savage······.”

“I'm Ulan.”

“what?”

“They're not barbarians, they're uhlans..”

Ethan's eyes flashed fiercely..

frighteningly intense.

A sense of unspoken pressure weighing down your body. The old professor sighed in embarrassment..

“Big! that, yes Anyway, isn't the Ulan student in such good shape? No matter how many times you get stabbed or cut, you probably won't be seriously hurt..”

Apparently, he understood Edan's words the other way around. The one he didn't want to get hurt was Himel, not Ulan..

So I didn't answer.

Instead, he looked at Ulan and put his hands together..

‘please be gentle.’

Victory is assured anyway.

So, I hope it ends without any major injuries. Also, I'd appreciate it even more if you hid your skills as much as possible while defeating them..

Searching for a God you don't normally believe in.

Ethan prayed so inwardly..

12.

Meanwhile at that time.

Arriving at the arena, Ulan tilted his head. Quite a bit of time passed, but no matter how long I waited, there was no sign of the battle starting..

So when I was feeling strange.

A good reason soon became apparent..

“The control room will notify you. Due to the battle that took place in the 2nd match, it was found that the magic saturation in the arena exceeded the standard..”

“Therefore, after the cleanup work is finished, we want to resume the game. Each player, please wait at the stadium..”

Something seems wrong.

Then you have to wait. Putting her ax at her feet, Uhlan relaxed her lightly..

But then.

“hey you.”

Suddenly someone spoke.

A young man with light brown curly hair. It was Himel Deorg, Ulan's opponent. he asked, not hiding the displeasure on his face..

“What's your relationship with Ibella??”

“are friends.”

“what? friend?”

Himel frowned..

As if I heard an absurd answer.

“under! Dude, it's not even funny.”

With a look of absurdity.

His eyes grew cold. Then, he said this out of the blue.

“Do you know that guy's past??”

“I do not know.”

“good, then i'll tell you.”

“no, you don't have to.”

I'm not too curious.

So I politely declined. However, Ulan's opinion was completely ignored..

“The guy was born in the slums.”

“······.”

Himel started to explain on his own.

He's a guy who doesn't listen to anyone. When I was thinking about that, Himel continued with his long words..

“I grew up in a back alley full of trash and filth. That means I'm not descended from a noble aristocratic family like you think..”

“Right.”

However, Ulan's reaction was dry..

Is it because he doesn't look agitated? Himel furrowed his eyebrows. As if it's uncomfortable to plant.

“You don't have to deliberately hide your feelings. You probably feel cheated by now. It's okay to be angry to your heart's content.”

“no, i'm not mad.”

It was true. There was nothing to be angry about in the first place.

Uhlan had never thought that Ybela was of noble origin..

‘If you were a noble······.’

You must have never wandered around the battlefield in your past life..

Ulan's reaction was so simple. Himel put on an expression of incomprehension, then raised his lips slightly. It was a mean smile.

“And that's not all. As if to prove that he grew up in a shallow place, he never learned culture or manners. if anything happened in the past······.”

Himel continues to speak.

It's mainly about blaming Ibela. Ulan, who listened to the story in silence, immediately frowned..

“so?”

“what, what?”

“what does it matter?”

Ulan just replied that he was friends with Ybela. But why do I have to hear this from a guy I met for the first time today??

so i asked why.

But the answer I wanted to hear did not come back. The only thing that came back was a look and a voice full of contempt.

“······Stopping people from talking Apparently, Yvela isn't the only one lacking in manners..”

After crumpling your face.

Himel's tone went cold..

“i get it. Then let's start with the main point. I warn you, you'd better not go out with Ibella from today..”

“what?”

“If I see you with Ibela after today's game, as the heir of the family, I will consider you an enemy of Count Deorg..”

A sudden threat as a signal.

A ferocious force swept over the uhlan..

The determination and fighting spirit of someone who has just reached the level of a high-ranking knight. If it was an ordinary person, it would have been so powerful that it would take your breath away for a moment..

Ulan, of course, was not ordinary, but.

body and brain.

So curiously I asked.

“What is Count Deorg??”

“······what?”

Himel asked with a blank face..

Soon after, my face turned red..

“This damn baby is to eat! Would a mere savage dare insult our family?!?”

“It's not an insult, it's the first time I've heard of it.”

“Do not lie! Even if you don't have anything in your head, there's no way you wouldn't know about our family that has served the Emperor for generations.······!”

“I don't even know who the emperor is.”

The moment I heard the answer, I was speechless..

And soon I realized There is no lie in Ulan's eyes. It is said that she did not deliberately fabricate her words to provoke Himel..

That means you really don't know.

I don't even know who the emperor of the empire is, but there's no way to know the family of a single count. When Himel had a depressed expression.

“the battle will begin soon!”

“Have the contestants move to their respective positions!”

I heard the voices of the referees.

It looks like the stadium has been refurbished. Himel turned around, gnashed his teeth, then growled ferociously..

“good night. Then let me tell you with a sword.”

Intense eyes turned to Ulan..

“How sharp is Deorg's sword. Furthermore, I will completely strip away the falsehood that you have as an expert.!”

at the end of a resolute declaration,

Ulan and Himel stood.

The referee, who judged that everything was ready, immediately let out a loud cry..

“battle begins!”

With a signal, Himel kicked the ground..

fast-paced fastball.

He had no intention of prolonging the battle. Ulans are mere savages. Because he was a mongrel with no honor to protect.

‘I'll knock you down in the blink of an eye.’

I will further prove.

That Ulan is an expert is an overblown rumor. Himel quickly closed the gap and quickly swung his sword..

But at that moment.

kaaaaang!

The attack is blocked. Reading the Sword Road is pretty good for a savage. When I was thinking.

“······!”

Suddenly Himel's eyes widened..

like realizing something. He immediately twisted the blade and let go of Uhlan's axe. Then he jumped back like a frog.

‘what? what power is this······.’

The moment the ax and the sword met, I realized.

I knew that if I continued to struggle like this, I would soon be crushed by him..

‘But strength isn't everything.’

if you have the strength.

I won't overwhelm you with speed.

Himel took a short breath, then stabbed with maddening force..

baba babat!

Haste that pours like heavy rain.

I deliberately aimed only at hard-to-defend areas. With the mindset to injure the body little by little and then end it in one blow.

Battles that continue from then on.

But this time also failed.

Uhlan blocked or dodged almost every attack. A clean body without any scars. Himel bit her lip tightly..

I felt impatient for a moment.

‘No, I still have an advantage.’

In the ongoing battles, Ulan could only block or avoid Himel's attacks. Not even an attack, not even a counterattack returned..

This means only one thing.

The guy must be in a hurry just to block his attacks. Himel was so sure.

‘but······.’

there was one thing.

Every time his ax and sword collided, I felt a strange sense of incongruity. Someday, the feeling I felt a long time ago was conveyed through my hands.

But the distraction quickly dissipated..

The important thing now was to defeat Uhlan. So, once again, I mobilized all my strength and threw a quick attack..

how long has it been like that?

The complexion of Himel, who had been pouring out attacks, gradually changed. because he felt something strange.

‘In spite of being in a hurry to block······.’

All defenses and evasions are so perfect.

Proof that there are no wounds on the body.

In other words, it means that all attacks that have been continued so far have been blocked or evaded. And one more thing, there was something strange.

Ulan's face.

He looked at Himel with a puzzled face..

Sometimes I even tilt my head. When you clench your teeth at a strangely pissed off expression.

Ulan's momentum has changed.

“······!”

distance narrows in an instant.

Soon an ax flew through the air..

too late to avoid!

Himel gritted his teeth and swung his sword as if cutting it diagonally. with the intention of letting go of the attack.

kaaang!

with a short crash.

I managed to dodge the attack.

However, the power of the ax hit Himel intact, and his body was pushed backwards..

“heck, heo!”

momentarily disturbed breathing.

It's because I was shaken by a blow..

He opened his eyes wide, not even trying to calm his rough breathing. It was a look full of astonishment..

‘Nonsense!’

I realized with this blow.

That Ulan is on a higher level than Himel. At the same time, I realized the true identity of the sense of incongruity I felt earlier..

In the past, before being knighted.

There was a time when I accidentally exchanged swords with my father, Earl Deorg. At that time, Himel first came across that it was the Master's domain..

and now.

Uhlan's blow coincided with that time.

‘that, that is······!’

The guy is not an expert.

far above that. Perhaps he is the same earthly figure as Count de Orgues..

‘no, it can't be!’

After scattering violently trembling eyes.

A look of disbelief crept into his eyes. However, once shaken, the heart did not calm down easily..

Meanwhile around that time.

Ulan stared at him..

The first time the weapon touched him.

Himel instinctively sensed the power of the uhlans and stepped back while attacking. This is definitely a talent worthy of praise..

‘but that's all.’

Other than that, there was nothing special about it..

Ibella, on the other hand, was different..

In the same situation as before, instead of stepping back, they closed the gap. With the intent to launch an attack by creating an empty gap.

and the result.

She created a gap that didn't exist..

this was the talent.

Conversely, Himel did not.

The obvious talent gap. Ulan narrowed his eyes. doubtfully.

‘That's a swordsman genius?’

It is also a genius representing the empire?

I had strong doubts.

So, while accepting Himel's attack in moderation, I tried to find out if there was a possibility..

but it was nothing.

‘so finally······.’

I wanted to test if there was anything he was hiding through an unexpected surprise attack. but it was no different.

It's a level that can't even be compared to Ibella, who used even a surprise attack as an opportunity to counterattack..

Ulan concluded.

‘Dillia must have been mistaken..’

That's not a swordsman genius.

He has no talent for swordsmanship. He's just a guy who handles knives a little. Compared to this Bella, she was less than a worm..

‘I need to tell you when the game is over.’

that you were wrong.

After thinking, Ulan grabbed the axe..

It was just to end the game.

‘There were three conditions for victory.’

To blow an opponent's weapon or to render them incapacitated. or referee intervenes.

Of the three methods, Ulan decided to use the first method. Putting the spirit into the axe, with the intention of cutting off Himel's sword.

ugh ugh!

The moment the ax was burning red.

“wait a minute!”

Suddenly an urgent cry was heard..

It was Himel. He hurriedly spread his palms forward and shouted with an impatient face..

“I'll make you a suggestion.”

“proposal?”

“okay! If you concede this match to me, I will work with you to achieve your goals..”

an unexpected proposal.

Ulan tilted his head..

“do you know what my purpose is?”

“yeah of course i know Because I'm a man too.”

an answer with strong conviction.

It was quite surprising, but I soon understood. If you're a man you don't know, you're going to want to be strong and get a powerful weapon..

‘however······.’

It was true that it was not trustworthy..

Ulan's goal is to acquire the superhuman level and the strongest weapon. It was because he never imagined Himel to have such power..

But then.

Words I never thought of came back.

“After all, his body is the purpose?”

“······what?”

“I'm talking about Isabella.”

Himel's mouth twisted..

with a mischievous smile.

“If you concede this match, I'll let Ibella into your room right now, even tonight. I promise to hang my family crest!”

“······.”

“You don't have to worry about getting caught. Even if you get caught, there is no turning back. After all, she was a shallow girl from birth. Every night if you want······.”

But Himel was speechless..

Because I was out of breath for a moment.

Soon, without even a moment to question Himel, a terrifying sense of intimidation weighed down Himel's body..

“oops! billion!”

heavy body as if crushed by a rock.

My arms and legs trembled like aspen trees, and I couldn't even breathe properly. At that moment, Himel realized. what is the cause of this phenomenon.

“······!”

The reason was Ulan.

The body is strong enough to give goose bumps all over the body..

It was the intent to kill that the one who had entered the realm of the master would sincerely spew out. Unless you are the same master, you will never be able to handle a sense of intimidation.

When Himel's face grew pale.

Ulan's tightly closed lips opened..

“······I don't care if you call me a barbarian.”

Because that's true.

Ulan didn't mind being told that he was ignorant and ignorant, or that he had no culture or manners..

but─.

“Touching my friend is an exception.”

Himel tarnished Ibela's honor..

With just three tongues.

Ulan glared at him with eyes full of anger and disgust..

“Ybela's honor ain't cheap enough for you to splurge.”

End with a fury as great as a volcano.

Ulan suddenly relinquished his murderous intent..

“omg! Huh Eok!”

Right after I can barely breathe.

Himel's complexion quickly turned blue. It's because I'm sure now. That Ulan is a master beyond the level of an expert.

“uh uh Ahhh!”

Is it because I realized the fearful truth? Or is it because I was pushed to the brink of fainting with the intent to kill??

Himel sat down in his seat and slowly stepped back. Even so, he did not let go of his sword..

looking at him with dry eyes.

“so apologize.”

Ulan said.

As if giving the last generosity.

“Go see Ybela right away and apologize for tarnishing your reputation. Then I'll pretend I didn't hear what I just heard..”

“······what? four apples?”

I? to that bitch?

Himel had an absurd expression. Trembling in fear, he shouted with his teeth clenched..

“if you can't······!”

“Then I will restore the tarnished honor on behalf of my friend. in a savage way.”

Crimson eyes glowing eerily.

Himel flinched for a moment. But that was for a moment, and the guy gritted his teeth..

“Ooh, don't be funny!”

A face twisted with shame and anger. He growled as he gripped his sword tightly..

“You are the one to apologize! I am Deorg's son! the only heir!”

As if he had decided that he couldn't win with his skills, Himel pushed the power of the family. He was a really nasty look..

Maybe that's his nature.

While frowning at the ugly struggle, Himel's sword suddenly aimed at Ulan..

“You are the one who kneels in front of me right now. Otherwise I'll trample on you, your family, and even that vulgar bitch.!”

“······.”

Ulan looking at Himel with an expressionless face.

After a while, he abruptly abandoned the axe..

Seeing this scene, Himel's face turned red. Putting a weapon in hand meant giving up the game..

“heh heh, good should come out like that.”

When you let out a fishy laugh.

Ulan hurriedly approached us. Himel looked at it as if enjoying it and said,.

“Yes, get down on your knees at that point. If I had to give up and leave the game, as much as you would... what, what?”

But Ulan did not stop.

Eight Steps, Seven Steps, Six Steps.

decreasing distance. Every time the gap narrowed, Himel felt a strange chill..

“uh, stop! don't come any closer!”

So I swung my sword.

like a threat. But Uhlan didn't stop, and Himel attacked him straight away..

and at that moment.

snap!

Ulan grabbed the sword.

No gloves, just bare hands.

The sharp blade must have grazed my palm a little, and a few drops of red blood flowed down the sword..

“this ignorant bastard!”

Himel screaming with a tired face.

At that time, the imprint of a hero on Ulan's back flashed for an instant. Knowing or not knowing this, Himel crumpled his face and shouted..

“OK. don't cut off your finger!”

The moment I tried to swing my sword with strength.

Quadduk! paaang!

Suddenly, the sword exploded in the air..

It was because I couldn't stand the grip. A sword that shatters. Himel was startled..

“Whew, what! The sword...! Kehek!”

The sound of tight breathing.

It's because I was grabbed by the collar by a huge hand..

Then Ulan thrust his face in, and growled with the force of chewing him up..

“I take up arms only when the opponent is a ferocious monster or a warrior..”

“oops! Turn it off! uhhh!”

“If the opponent is a coward who is not even a warrior, there is no need to use a weapon.”

And Himel is the latter.

This guy doesn't deserve to be called a warrior. At least by uhlan standards..

“See clearly with those eyes. What happens when a coward who pretends to be a warrior, tarnishes the honor of a warrior?.”

Immediately after Ulan's words.

Himel felt his body rise..

what are you going to do?

I tried to ask, but my voice didn't come out because I was choking..

and at that moment.

‘uh?’

Himel's vision darkened..

An eerie sound coming soon.

kwaduk!

With the sound of something breaking, a lot of dirt went into my slightly open mouth..

A stuffy and stuffy feeling. But before he knew it, a dizzying pain overtook him..

“cuck, cuckaaaaaaaa!”

The nasal bone was completely crushed..

Currently, Himel is stuck upside down on the floor..

Even when I was doomed, I got hit in the face first..

His face was shattered on the arena floor, and red blood dripped from his broken nose..

But Ulan didn't stop.

“turn it off, ah!”

Right after grabbing the back of his head.

turned right away.

The place where the calm eyes are directed is the audience. It was exactly the direction Ibella was..

Ibella widened her eyes in surprise.

staring into her eyes.

Ulan slammed Himel's head on the floor..

─────!

Loud sound that shakes the arena.

It was a shock so strong that I was worried that my head would break. I didn't have to worry about either. Because I had no intention of fainting comfortably in the first place.

Ugh! ugh!

The Spirit of Ulan wrapped around Himel's skull.

This way your head won't break. I just feel the dizzying pain.

“that, that!”

Himel's Bloody Face.

Perhaps because all of his teeth were broken, his tone of voice also became slurred. Realizing the reality belatedly, he shed bloody tears and begged for his mercy..

“I don't, I don't, I don't······!”

“still.”

But it didn't work for Ulan..

Ulan stared Himel in the eyes and said,.

“It is the honor that your petty tongue has tainted. Only your blood can wash away.”

Ulan hit Himel's head again. He only lets you do this if you don't want to bow your head..

kwaaang!

Head hit, floor cracked.

Kwajik!

The blood pooled and formed a puddle..

puck! puck puck puck!

Is it because of the repeated pain??

Himel, who had been shivering, drooped..

‘have you lost your mind?’

But it's okay. If you stimulate your brain with spirit, you can quickly come to your senses..

So when I was about to do that.

“stop that! until there!”

“Stop fighting! stop!”

The referee intervened late..

It seems that he was fascinated by the sudden sight, and now he has come to his senses..

Ulan, on the other hand, frowned..

It was natural. Because the amount of blood was still not enough to wash away all the tainted honor..

‘So, the apology that I couldn’t finish today······.’

I have to do it next time.

With a promise that would cause a match if Himel heard it, Ulan roughly threw Himel, who had become a rag, to the floor..

At the end of the third game.

The blood-stained arena was soaked with desolation..

But the silence didn't last long.

It's because the guards rushed in..

“the guy is over there!”

“tie it up right now!”

chains around his body.

Thinking it was a familiar situation, Ulan was sent back to the Student Guidance Department..
