The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 59
(4)
9.
Deep night when the moon is hidden by clouds.
There was a group walking in a quiet forest.
A crowd of about 20 people.
They were armed with swords and shields. And at the center of the group was Noah, a black-haired girl holding a book with an amulet attached to it..
‘Ugh, how did this happen?’
just an hour ago.
Noah was in the library.
By joining forces with Ibella, he drove out Baekrang's alter ego and protected the librarian Ervan. Of course, half of his reading room was destroyed in the process..
‘and then…….’
I met Professor Ethan outside the library..
After evacuating the freshmen, he immediately asked Noah and Isella for cooperation, and Ibela accepted and accompanied Ethan..
Ethan felt good..
I knew at once that the culprit behind this raid was in the eastern forest. So I immediately gathered the people and headed for the forest..
Noah was one of them..
At least it was fine so far. As long as Baekrang is released from the seal, there is no answer other than subjugation..
‘but…….’
no uhlan and dilia.
This fact bothered me. But the anxiety was short-lived, and Noah soon had hope..
‘Will it come soon though?’
White Rang's Attack is the area around the eastern forest.
And most of the buildings in this area are full of new students..
Perhaps by now Ulan and Dillia have noticed the attack and are heading to the forest..
‘then it's okay.’
Even if you don't join right now, you just have to join until you fight Baekrang. When I finished my thoughts with that hope.
Took! Tuuk!
Noah's body was pushed aside little by little..
There is only one reason. It's because someone kept bumping my shoulder from earlier. Who are you? Noah glanced at the tooth that kept bumping her shoulder..
The opponent was an unexpected person.
“Ibella?”
“……?!”
I'm afraid to call your name.
Ibella's shoulders trembled violently..
Just looking at it, I was surprised. Noah was even more taken aback by the more violent reaction than he had expected..
“mi sorry I didn't expect you to be so surprised.”
“ugh, ugh.”
I just called your name.
Ibella cried out and clutched Noah's arm. Quick-witted Noah grasped the situation at once..
“Are you afraid of ghosts or ghosts??”
“……Swords don't work on ghosts.”
was the correct answer.
However, the reason I was afraid was a bit peculiar. Seeing the unexpected appearance, Noah laughed..
“are you okay. There's a shaman, what are you worried about?.”
“……What does that have to do with ghosts??”
“Doesn't matter. Because shamans are called demons, so they deal with things like ghosts..”
That means you can deal with ghosts..
Of course, Noah was trying to comfort her, but Ibela seemed to have taken it in a slightly different way..
“Well, then you can't believe the ghost too…….”
“that's right. Right now, even the amulets attached to this book are all demonic amulets..”
Dealing with demons is not a job.
So even if a ghost appears, don't worry, I'll get rid of it. Noah was about to say that. But Ibela's reaction was different..
Sasasak!
Isabella distances herself from Noah.
It was with a complexion that had turned pale for some reason. I must have misunderstood something. Noah laughed awkwardly..
‘Surprisingly, there is a human side.’
Ibela, seen in the original work, was not such a three-dimensional character. She always wore a mask and was a weapon that slaughtered enemies like a machine..
When I felt fresh.
rustle!
The bushes in front swayed.
Ibella backed away in surprise..
The swordsmen, including Edan, all stopped in their seats. Prepare for an unexpected attack. But what appeared was a large crowd.
“Professor Arnoff?”
I even knew who Ethan was..
Ethan also opened his eyes wide..
“Captain Rowen? Why is this…….”
Deputy Commander of the Arsene Guards, Loen Pillaud.
After the sudden encounter, Ethan and Loen, who led the two groups, exchanged information about what happened and why they came to the forest..
“okay. Chasing the source of magical power…….”
“So are we. I came here after chasing after the wolves who attacked the library..”
When we shared our own information.
Noah's eyes twinkled. It is because she finds a familiar face in the group led by Loen. A silver-haired girl yawning.
‘Delia is here too.!’
This increased the number of names to three..
Although it is regrettable that there is no Ulan, this is not enough to deal with Baekrang..
‘But why did you come all the way to Syrpy??’
Sirpi Rudric.
A person presumed to have some sort of relationship with Baekrang, a member of Rudrick's family. Noah glanced suspiciously at Syrpy..
then.
Suddenly Syrpy opened her mouth..
“I'm over there! I think I saw a huge wolf in the deep vicinity.”
“hmm? a huge wolf?”
“oh that's actually…….”
For Ethan, who did not know the circumstances, Loen relayed the story he heard from Syrpy..
The story is that there is a huge wolf in the forest and uses the fog to create all kinds of wolves..
The moment I heard this far.
Noah's eyes narrowed..
‘……Syrupy knows the white wolf.’
that's pretty accurate.
Noah recalled the speculation in the reading room..
Sirpi Rudric is a pagan belonging to the Desert Church, and it is speculated that he may have entered the academy to tame the white wolf..
Of course, it's good that you're from.
However, the purpose could not be ignored. Because it was the opposite of what Noah pursued..
‘The white wolf must not be tamed.’
must be subdued.
That's why hidden rewards come out.
Baekrang's heart, in particular, holds tremendous value as a magic core. If you process it and consume it well, your magic power will double..
‘And the soul is useful too.’
If he extracts the soul of the white wolf and works, his status as a sorcerer will jump two levels. Then you can use more powerful spells..
So I had no intention of giving in..
When Noah's eyes flashed.
“move again!”
The party resumed their advance..
In the direction Sirfi told me.
How long did it take? In the middle, a unique sight caught my eye. They were huge piles pulled out of the ground and rolling around..
“These piles are…….”
“Looks like something is sealed.”
The stake of the seal. Ethan, guessing at once the identity of the stake, turned around again. Recognizing that some 'dangerous thing' has been released from its seal, she.
some time after that.
The party reached the heart of the forest..
What soon came into sight was the entrance to the crypt. Then, I felt a terrifying power from within..
Rowen frowned at once..
“……That's a lot of magic.”
“what's inside…….”
Ethan nodded as if agreeing..
As the two said, powerful magical energy flowed from the inside of the crypt. To the point where the hairs all over the body stand up.
But I can't let that go.
Following Rowen's instructions, the party moved stealthily and built a siege..
“When signaled, approach little by little..”
Rowen, who was in the lead, moved on..
With this as a signal, the party gradually closed the distance..
But at that moment.
A roar came from within the crypt..
bang! Quaang! kwaaang!
The sound of hitting something. All of the party stopped at the sudden sound..
After a not short time has passed.
The loud noise gradually subsided. It wasn't just the sound that started to fade.
“horse power……!”
disappeared at a rapid rate.
An incomprehensible phenomenon. However, the puzzled feeling was short-lived, and Loen immediately regained his composure. Investigating the inside of the crypt was a quick fix..
So when I was about to give the order to advance again.
Tuduk! Patter!
A mound of dirt at the entrance of the crypt stirred..
as if something is about to come out.
“power standby.”
I caught Rowen's sword in a strange phenomenon..
It wasn't just that. Dillia, who was at the rear, immediately condensed the magic of the stars, and Noah also floated the amulet in the air..
seuleung!
Ybel also drew her sword halfway..
Tense tension hovering around the battlefield.
When I unknowingly swallowed my dry saliva, the pile of dirt completely collapsed..
and after a while.
The group's accident has stopped.
“……ah?”
There is only one reason. It was because the identity of the person who came out of the crypt was an unexpected person..
A man with an ax in both hands.
It was a savage who completely took off his top. And there is only one person at the academy who wears that outfit..
“Ooh, Ulan?!”
no, why are you out there?
Noah shouted in surprise..
“why are you here…….”
The same is true of Ibella..
The other members of the party were also quite bewildered. When everyone was frightened and stiff, there was someone who regained his cool faster than anyone else..
“……Ulaanbaatar.”
A man striding forward.
It was Loen Pillaud, the lieutenant of the guards..
“I heard you were suspended from school and put on probation in a dormitory. Why are you here??”
A question followed by a fierce look.
It's not a question that's difficult to answer. So I tried to answer in a non-trivial way.
but at that moment.
“Ulan!”
There was someone who came in all of a sudden..
It was Sirpy.
“Hey, did you see the giant wolf inside? It's a huge, white-haired wolf.!”
An anxious and desperate expression.
Ulan nodded in affirmation..
“I saw.”
“how about that wolf…….”
“i got rid of it.”
“……yes?”
The answer that I got rid of it is not a lie.
Baekrang as a demon beast is gone now.
Facing Syrpy who asked blankly, Ulan pointed to the inside of the crypt..
“If you don't believe me, go in.”
Everyone will understand when they see Baekrang, who has become a spirit creature..
As soon as those words were finished, Syrupy kicked off the ground and ran. She is not only her. Noah hurriedly followed her..
“Dangerous! come back!”
Loen shouted as if warning, but the two girls didn't care. The two searched the interior of the crypt, each with their own goals..
but nothing came out.
I only felt traces of a gigantic being exuding powerful magic power..
“no way, no way really……?”
Baekrang, hiding in the fog, is one of the phantom beasts who lived in the ancient desert. It is a species called the 'Mist Wolf' because it disappears like fog without leaving a body when it dies..
and now.
There are only traces of Baekrang in the crypt, but the corpse has disappeared. What this means is that Ulan's words are true..
“Ha ha ha ha ha. ahaha!”
ruined. everything is ruined!
The empty laugh of the one who had given up on everything echoed through the crypt. At that time, Noah too belatedly confirmed this sight..
A sight without a corpse, not even a magic core.
Embarrassed, she hurried out of the crypt..
Then he shouted at Ulan.
“Ulan! Have you ever seen a magic core??!”
“didn't see.”
“I'm asking just in case…….”
“maybe it was.”
At the end of an insincere answer.
Noah also slumped in his seat..
As if I had heard shocking words. It was worth it. Because I missed the hidden reward right in front of me.
Noah and Sirphi.
The day the two girls despaired.
The wolf incident that suddenly attacked the academy ended like that..
10.
After confirming the subjugation of Baekrang.
Ulan briefly described what happened in the crypt shortly after the mist had formed..
However, as the story grew longer, the part where Baekrang, who became a spiritual creature, obtained the ax of gluttony and Gula was simply omitted. Because everything is bothering me.
“That's all I've been through.”
Ending with the content of entering the crypt and fighting a huge wolf and winning, Ulan finished his answer..
No one questioned this fact.
“……well, that's right.”
Rowen nodded..
Looking at the reaction, it seems that I understand to some extent.
“I'll get it right away Then let's go back to the guards and investigate further..”
Rowen got up from his seat..
However, the way he looked at Ulan was never friendly..
I'll do just that.
To Rowen, Ulan was a troublemaker who broke the rules and had accidents every time..
“However, violating probation measures and appearing at will is clearly wrong. So, according to school rules, I will take you to the guards..”
Before Loen's words ended,.
Several guards approached with thick ropes. Seeing this scene, Ulan immediately opened his mouth..
“I didn't break the rules.”
“Admit it openly. Just because you're here means you broke the rules.”
“no i just…….”
I was hungry because I didn't have enough food, so I came to the forest adjacent to the dormitory to get some fruit..
If I've broken any rules, it's just that I ran into other people right after coming out of the crypt..
but this is irresistible.
It wasn't the uhlans, it was because they came to the crypt..
So when I was about to explain the situation.
Someone suddenly interrupted the conversation.
“No, Ulan is not at fault.”
with a firm voice.
A girl stood in the way as if guarding an uhlan.
Isabella Elead. At her sudden appearance, Roen frowned at her..
“who else are you…….”
“Ulan is a strong expert. So he must have noticed the existence of the wolf before we did, and he must have come to kill it..”
in a confident voice.
Ibela defended Ulan.
“to prevent further damage.”
After answering, she turned around and smiled. She's like she's asking 'Isn't it?'.
Of course not at all.
Ulan looked at her blankly..
‘I think there is a misunderstanding…….’
But I didn't really object. The reason was simple. Because her answer seemed more plausible than the line-by-line explanation..
“but that's a guess…….”
“I, too, think the same.”
The moment Loen tried to refute.
A new ally has appeared. A silver-haired girl who appeared fluttering a cloak that symbolizes a wizard..
It was Dylia Arpen..
“If it's Ulan, obviously, it will be.”
The faith that dwells in golden eyes.
Ulan, of course, looked bewildered. But this time he didn't say anything..
‘I don't know why.’
It was because he definitely felt that Ibella and Dillia's actions were for his sake..
The two actively speak out in defense.
Ulan made a strange expression..
‘It's a strange feeling.’
In the past life, that place has always been Ulan's place. He always fought at the head of the pack to protect his comrades..
Whereas now it was different.
The sight of being protected by former comrades in reverse. The situation itself was unfamiliar, so I felt a bit awkward, but it wasn't a bad feeling..
When I was silently watching this.
Roen's voice was heard again..
“Haha, I fully understand the desire to protect a friend. But it's true that I broke the rules.”
Loen sighed and approached..
It was with a somewhat menacing momentum.
“So I have no choice but to take it. If you keep interrupting like that, you too…….”
“isn't that a little?”
A person who suddenly stopped talking and appeared.
At the appearance of a new obstruction, Loen frowned. It's because I'm starting to get annoyed.
However, after confirming the identity of the intruder, he hardened his expression..
“……Professor Arnoff.”
Ethan Arnoff.
He was a professor in charge of teaching weapons skills, and was one of the people behind Ulan. He asked, cutting in between Ulan and Loen..
“You haven't committed a felony, do you really need to tie me up with a rope??”
“he broke the rules.”
“Yes, I admit that too. However, this incident was not caused by Ulan. Rather, it is closer to solving the situation..”
Ethan's words were the right theory.
Ulan helped solve the problem. Considering this, the entrainment was not feasible..
“Still breaking the rules……!”
However, Ron had a different idea..
No matter how much he helped solve the situation, breaking the rules was clearly wrong. Therefore, it was right to judge separately.
This was a kind of stubbornness and belief that he had as the vice-captain of the guard. But this time, I picked the wrong opponent..
“I think you're misunderstanding something..”
A cool voice that tickles my ears.
Ethan continued with a dry face..
“It's the Inspectorate who suspended Ulan. Therefore, it is the inspection team's job to punish those who violate this. not the guard.”
“…….”
Ron woke up.
This was a warning. Warning not to cross the line.
After a while, Loen regained her composure and nodded while biting her lip..
“……All right. let's do that.”
“I'm glad you understand.”
Ethan grinned..
“It's late today, so do a detailed investigation tomorrow. If you have to do it today, five inspectors will accompany you to the guards..”
“No, the guards will stay out of here. What happened today is to be investigated by the inspection team and sent separately..”
“Haha, then it must be comfortable for each other.”
After the strange battle of nerves.
Rowen turned around. With a terrifyingly hardened face. After a while, as he walked away, Ethan approached Ulan and patted him on the shoulder..
“Good job. Everyone go back to the dorms.”
At this point, the situation is settled..
However, Ybela and Dillia seemed unwilling to leave. Because there was something I was concerned about with Ulan..
“me, professor I have a question about Ulan's punishment..”
“Suspension is too long.”
Dillia complained..
Then Ethan laughed..
“do not worry. I'm going to convene a committee immediately tomorrow to fix the punishment..”
“I really?”
“Yes, and the punishment for today's work will be treated as a statement of self-reflection, so don't worry.”
reflection. At those words, Ulan's face hardened..
It was natural. Because Ulan had a hard time writing things. So in her past life, it was to the point of asking this Bella every time to write a letter to her tribe..
so seriously ask.
“……I'd rather not go to the guard?”
“haha, even kidding.”
I'm not kidding.
Ulan repeatedly said that he would go to the guard, but all he got back was Ethan's laughter..
“withdraw! power withdrawal!”
“everyone back to the academy!”
As soon as the withdrawal order is given.
The group returned to the academy, taking care of Noah and Syrupy, who were half-enthused..
so everyone disappears.
The forest was enveloped in a silent desolation..
But for a moment, a hazy fog suddenly came in front of the crypt. Then he took on the shape of a wolf..
white wolf with crimson eyes.
It was Mimu's white wolf.
[…….]
Baekrang looked out of the forest without a word..
Exactly where people disappeared.
Baekrang, who stared at the place, returned in the form of fog on the road. Then he began his silent movement with the night wind..
To the place where Ulan disappeared.
