The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 61
(1)
1.
3last week of the month, friday.
the time the sun rises in mid-sky.
After training, Ulan returned to the dormitory. She remembered that she had an appointment for dinner at noon..
shoot it!
After taking a cold shower.
While I was wiping my body with a dry towel, something suddenly came into my field of vision..
[Greung. purr―.]
Lying by the window, a wolf basking in the sun.
It is a white wolf.
He was also an unusual guy who hadn't left his room since he came for a fortnight ago..
Ulan, who was staring at him, recalled some facts he had learned over the past 15 days..
‘Is it because it's a spirit?.’
Baekrang used magic as his staple food..
Of course, he ate fruit, bread, and meat, but what he liked was magic..
I noticed this three days ago.
It was when Noah came to the room.
「This is the Mana Stone that was handed out in the Mana Detection lecture. I even took Ulan's share..」
Observe the flow of mana inside the mana stone and submit a report..
That is, it is a kind of task. However, Ulan was unable to perform the task normally..
As soon as Noah returned, Baekrang suddenly swallowed the magic stone. As quickly as a child puts candy in his mouth.
‘And a change happened.’
First of all, it's a little bit bigger..
Of course, it's only a little bit bigger. It was also confirmed that the fur became shiny, and the teeth and claws grew little by little..
A change that did not occur at all when eating fruit and meat. Based on this, Ulan judged that the guy's stock was magic..
‘but…….’
Like the ax of gluttony, Gula, it didn't seem to be able to absorb the mana hovering in the air. Around the time I reflexively looked at Gula.
[Grrrrrrung! Gyareung!]
Suddenly, Baekrang jumped up.
A guy with bristly hair and a ferocious growl. The place where the bright red eyes were directed was the ax that Ulan had been looking at until now, 'Gula'..
‘Is it natural.’
Because Gula was deeply embedded in Baekrang's nape like a thorn. If Ulan was Baekrang, I would have destroyed it in anger..
but he didn't.
It would be accurate to say that it cannot be.
Because Gula has the power to absorb mana, and if he touches it carelessly, he will lose his mana..
Whether or not Baekrang growled, Ulan grabbed Gula and kicked him around the waist. Then I turned to him and spoke..
“then don't go.”
Normally, Baekrang responds by yawning or nodding his head. But today's reaction was different than usual..
slippery!
Baekrang suddenly turned into a white haze.
After that, the fog wriggled as if it were alive and melted into Ulan's shadow..
“It's always convenient.”
Ulan laughed..
Like this, Baekrang could turn into fog at any time. And in the state of fog, it was possible to pass through walls or permeate into certain places..
This is one of the new facts.
“yes, do whatever you want.”
After talking casually.
went straight to the destination.
After a while, Ulan arrived at the restaurant and looked around inside, breaking through the crowds..
like looking for someone.
then.
“Ulan. here it is.”
A familiar voice came.
A girl of rather small stature.
The owner of flowing silver hair and calm golden eyes like a lake..
This is Dylia Arpen..
“did you come first?”
“huh. I didn't wait long.”
A faint smile bloomed on your lips.
But when Ulan tried to sit across from him, Dillia said with a sullen face..
“there, no.”
“……?”
“sit here.”
Right next to Dillia.
Ulan tilted his head..
“why?”
“Meal, in advance, received.”
white fingers tapped the table.
The order sheet was placed there. It means that the food comes out to the place where the number is located. And the order slip was attached to the seat next to her.
“what meal did you order?”
“ulan, favorite, meat.”
“how much?”
“10Servings.”
Dillia spread her ten fingers wide.
It is perfect. Ulan grinned..
Moving seats wasn't difficult, so I sat right next to her..
At the same time, Dillia smiled..
As if I’m finally satisfied.
“and take this.”
“What is this?”
“Lectured, listened to, summarized.”
The next thing I handed over was a note.
It was written on all sides in round and cute handwriting. I almost felt dizzy for a moment, but I managed to overcome it..
“thanks. thank you.”
“nothing, no.”
Dillia waved her hand..
“And, there is another message.”
“what kind of beggar?”
“Ten days later, practice hunting, Han.”
Specifically, the second Monday in April.
They say they plan to leave the academy and hunt monsters that actually live in the nearby forest..
“So, let's make a two-in-one.”
“Is it a test of cooperation??”
“huh. that's right.”
After nodding again.
Her gaze was directed downward. She then wiggled her fingers and muttered.
“I want to do it with you.”
With a voice as small as a mosquito.
Golden eyes moved cautiously..
“……what do you think about it?”
“I agree Rather what I wished for.”
Ulan answered without hesitation..
It was because I had a good relationship with Dillia in my past life. It was the perfect partner to test cooperation..
“huh. Then, I'll apply.”
Did you like the answer without hesitation??
Dillia's complexion brightened..
By the time the conversation was over. Suddenly, I felt a familiar presence behind me..
“Ulan! we are here.”
“It's a big deal. I thought you came first.”
Noah Darschen and Ybela Elead.
The two approached Ulan with a smile on their face..
But that was for a moment, and as soon as their eyes met Dillia, their laughter disappeared..
“…….”
Silence came for a moment.
Noah's eyes trembled as if he was embarrassed, and Evela had a strangely uncomfortable face..
Of course, it was Dillia who reacted the most fiercely. 'Cause as soon as she saw her noah she lit a twin wick in her eyes like a sensitive cat.
When the awkward atmosphere continued.
“i called everyone.”
The reason why this place was created is revealed.
The eyes of the three girls turned to Ulan in unison, and he answered in a calm tone..
“I will be leaving the dormitory for a week from today. So I want to say hello in advance.”
As soon as the words are over.
Questions poured in at once.
“what? what does that mean?”
“One week, leaving, where?”
“The suspension wasn't going to be lifted in three days.?”
Evela, Dillia, and Noah.
The three of them asked questions each with a surprised face..
Ulan answered Noah's last question..
“This is different from suspension.”
“what do you want?”
“Have you ever been swept away by a wave at the Fountain of Magic before? I started an investigation into it, and they said they needed my help..”
I got a call two days ago.
It was through the inspector general..
The request for cooperation was the dean of the Military Faculty, Berger Erkazan. In exchange for Uhlan's cooperation, he promised a commensurate price..
‘He said he would give credit for all the days he missed lectures during the suspension period..’
Not only that.
Dean Berger said that assignments would also be processed as submitted. Regardless of the results of the survey, just by cooperating for a week.
Not a bad suggestion. so i accepted.
And one more, there was another reason for willingly accepting cooperation..
‘he has the eyes of a warrior.’
upright and straight eyes.
It was completely different from Dean Dipplin, who lied and never showed his true feelings..
That means believable.
In this way, Ulan revealed all about the fact that he would stay at the fountain of magic and the price that Dean Berse promised..
“It's nice that the number of days of attendance is recognized.”
“that's right. If not, Ulan would have been put on academic probation..”
“I'm really glad.”
The three breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing him worrying about his business as if it were his own, Ulan smiled silently..
At that moment.
Took!
Suddenly the restaurant became quiet..
All the students who were busy moving stopped, and the murmur soon stopped..
I heard only one sound.
It was only the sound of heavy footsteps..
all over!
The one who appeared soon was a naked young man.
It was a very conspicuous outfit, such as a pure white coat and hat. Afterwards, the young man's gaze turned to the savage, Ulan, who sat in the center of the restaurant..
“Ulaanbaatar, right??”
“yes.”
“My name is Rodale Urbakan, a member of the special task force. I was entrusted with guiding you to Area 1 of the Fountain of Magic..”
I'm afraid to finish his answer.
In an instant, the restaurant was buzzing..
“what? task force?”
“If it's a special forces unit, obviously…….”
“I'm not an enlisted soldier of the Dean of Dipplin.?”
Before the whispers stop.
Rodale's eyes flashed fiercely..
“……Who dares to speak of the dean's name carelessly??”
raging momentum.
Silence enveloped the restaurant again under the terrifying pressure. On the other hand, after hearing Dale’s words, Ulan tilted his head and asked back..
“So you're saying you have to move now??”
“Yes.”
Rodale nods.
Ulan frowned..
“I heard it was dinner.”
“A situation has arisen. ask for cooperation.”
“what's the matter?”
“I can't say that far.”
A firm answer came back.
But there was a hint of nervousness in his voice. As if it's in trouble if you don't hurry.
Of course, Ulan didn't care..
“I'm sorry but I can't.”
“……what?”
trembling eyes.
To this Ulan replied calmly..
“i have a problem too.”
“what's the matter?”
“Meal hasn't been served yet.”
an unexpected answer.
Rodale laughed in dismay..
“do not worry. Your meal will be provided by the special task force..”
Ulan's reaction was lukewarm..
If you were hungry and had to choose between a meal scheduled for later and a meal coming soon, of course it would be the latter..
Then Rodale added an explanation.
“I will serve food that is much more delicious than what you usually eat in the student cafeteria. So for now…….”
I ask for cooperation in companion.
I was thinking of saying that.
But the moment I closed my eyes once and opened them, Ulan disappeared without a trace..
what? where did you disappear?
When he looked around in bewilderment.
Soon Ulan's voice was heard.
at the entrance of the restaurant.
“What are you doing? without prompting.”
“…….”
Rodale with a dazed expression.
Then I heard a pleasant laugh.
“Pooh! ahaha.”
“Phew, it's also Ulan-like.”
It was Evela and Noah..
Dillia also covered her mouth and smiled..
After a while, the three girls waved to Ulan without asking anyone first..
“Bye bye, Ulan..”
“see you in a week.”
“see you later.”
With a warm farewell, Ulan turned around.
Then, he followed Rodale, who soon regained consciousness, and left the restaurant. To head to the fountain of magic, the place to stay for the next week.
2.
Meanwhile at that time.
Count Deorg, who found the academy, went straight to the ward of the Military Faculty..
there is only one reason.
It was to check the condition of his son, Himel Deorg, who was hospitalized here. After some time, he was able to check Himel's condition..
“…….”
through a large window.
Himel was walking on crutches. There were nurses by his side, helping him walk.
“As you can see, the recovery is smooth. Rehabilitation is progressing rapidly..”
Then someone came to the Count's side..
He was the attending physician in charge of Himel. He continued his explanation with a smile on his face..
“However, during the match, a strong blow to the head caused short-term memory loss. Oh sure, it's not serious.”
“…….”
“Except for this part, everything else falls into the normal category. If this is the case, I think it will be okay to be discharged within the next month or so..”
The attending physician who spits out explanations.
But there was no answer or reply from the Count. I just stare at Himel with dry eyes like the desert..
Was the quiet silence awkward??
The attending physician let out an empty cough..
“Big! Then next…….”
“the sword?”
“yes?”
“Is there anything wrong with swinging a sword??”
It's a bit of an odd question.
But I was soon convinced. The Deorg family had a reputation as a warrior family. The attending physician immediately nodded..
“Probably. She wasn't badly hurt anywhere except her head. Of course, the exact thing is tested... … ship, count!?”
The attending physician exclaimed in surprise..
I would do just that. Because the Count suddenly broke into the rehabilitation room..
The attending physician was taken aback by the sudden action, but there was someone else who was much more taken aback..
“oh father?!”
Himel wide-eyed.
A look of surprise and bewilderment on his face. Soon, a peculiar emotion crept into his eyes..
A feeling rarely seen between a normal parent and child. It was a strong fear.
“Hey, when did you come here... … Heck!”
Himel's face wrinkled with pain..
It was because the Count, who took the crutches off the bat, slapped him in the stomach. The sudden attack did not stop there. Even after that, the Count swung his crutch and hit Himel's body here and there..
“oops! Cuckoo! kkeaak!”
A series of terrible screams.
Then the nurses next to Himel shouted in bewilderment..
“gee, what are you doing now!?”
“guards! please dry it!”
It was embarrassing for the guards as well..
Unlike the nurses, the soldiers knew who the Count was..
One of the Five Masters of the Empire.
How could you stop such an existence? While the soldiers were at a loss, Himel finally sat down..
“wook! wooweek!”
with a loud murmur.
Afterwards, Himel, who was trembling, collapsed with his eyes closed. he's lost his mind.
“Himel patient! wake up!”
“Whoa, someone please bring me a stretcher!”
Nurses screaming urgently.
The Count looked down at Himel with an expressionless face, then quickly threw away his crutches. Then he went back to the doctor and said.
“Please do not apply for discharge.”
“but still hurt……!”
“Never mind. Because the treatment will return to the county and continue.”
At the end of a firm tone.
The count immediately turned away..
But then.
“Oh no!”
An unexpected answer came back.
The Count turned his head and looked at the attending physician. Eyes that feel a strange pressure. But the attending physician shouted undeterred..
“This is Arsene Academy. No matter how much the count is a parent, he can't take Arsene's students on his own.!”
“Then I'll quit the academy.”
“……yes?”
A bombshell suddenly heard.
Staring blankly at the attending physician, the Count spat out a dry voice..
“It won't matter if it's like this?”
“no, that's impossible.”
Then an uninvited guest broke into the conversation..
The repeated interruptions must have been annoying, but the count's face was still expressionless..
After a while, the Count, who confirmed the identity of the sudden uninvited guest, immediately saluted with a raised hand..
“General Erkazan.”
“Not anymore. Because I was discharged a long time ago.”
Berger Erkazan. As the dean of the Military Faculty, he responded with a salute as well, then opened his mouth..
“Rather, let's go back to the main topic. You have to spend at least one semester here to quit the academy. that's the rule.”
The answer that came back gave the count a little disapproval. But, surprisingly, there was no objection. Instead, he deftly changed the subject..
“It's just fine.”
“what do you mean?”
“There was something I wanted to ask the general..”
“I can only guess, what is it?”
Scared to stop asking questions.
The count's eyes moved slowly. Towards Himel being carried away on a stretcher.
“I heard that the man who made him like that was a barbarian. is it true?”
“Well, it's true. But here's the situation…….”
“where is that savage?”
he interrupted Bergé and asked.
It was a rude move, but Berge didn't mind. There was something more important now.
“what to do if you know that?”
“I need to find out.”
“I'm asking just in case, but I don't think you intend to engage in sword fighting with that savage.?”
“I can't say no.”
“then i can't tell you.”
“general.”
“This is Arsene. And as dean, I have a duty to protect students. Violence or retaliation is unacceptable.”
Berger's eyes flashed intensely..
Eyes full of determination and stubbornness.
An attitude that will never back down.
“Whoa, I get it.”
The count drooped his shoulders slightly..
Then he murmured with a sigh.
“Then I'll find my way.”
“sir istan!”
“Excuse me.”
Countess who doesn't even blink an eye at Berger's scolding. Rather, he politely bowed his head and immediately left the ward..
“……Just as expected.”
Looking at the back that is getting farther and farther away.
Berger sighed..
“Whoa, I can't help it. From now on, I have no choice but to leave it to Dean Chernio..”
It is up to Dipplin Chernio and the task force to deal with Count Deorg. Fortnight ago, he had agreed to do so.
‘and…….’
One more, insured.
Insurance in case the worst happens, in case Dipplin fails to deal with the Count, even if it means that Uhlan and the Count meet..
Of course, the best thing to do is to settle the situation without insurance..
So, Verse prayed quietly.
May everything work out well.
3.
After leaving the ward of the Military Faculty.
Count Deorg went straight to the Faculty of Magic..
He was a person I had a relationship with on the battlefield in the past, and there was someone I could ask for help from..
but that's for a while.
The Count immediately stopped walking. It was because of the man who suddenly blocked his way..
“Long time no see, sir.”
A young man with a sad look.
The Count recognized at once who he was..
“Loen Pillaud?”
“You remembered my name. It is an honour.”
He is the deputy commander of the Arsene Guards..
At the same time, he was also a soldier who fought against the heretics with the Count on the southern front six years ago..
“Long time no see. Do you have any business for me??”
“It's nothing special, I came here to provide you with helpful information about the barbarians you are looking for..”
The Count shut his mouth tightly..
Then I looked at Rowen quietly..
As if to say something once. Recognizing this, Loen immediately brought up the topic..
“He's currently at the Well of Power..”
“A fountain of magic? why there…….”
“This is to prevent contact with His Excellency..”
at the end of the answer.
The Count twitched his eyebrows..
“It sounds as if a certain force intervened in this matter..”
“is correct.”
“Who is it?”
“It is the army of the empire.”
“……I'd love to hear more.”
The Count's eyes turned serious..
In response, Loen explained the purpose and reason for the imperial military's targeting of Ulan, and even the involvement of Dean Berger in this plan..
After the end of the story.
The Count frowned..
“where did you hear this story?”
“There are good sources of information. In any case, if you go to the first area of the Well of Power, you should find the barbarian who hurt your son..”
He doesn't seem to want to talk about the informant..
The Count did not ask any further questions. Anyway, it was enough to find the whereabouts of the barbarians. So I finished my answer with a nod of his head..
“Got it. I will remember my work today.”
“I would be grateful if you would.”
Rowen bowed his head.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly..
A smile that exudes a strange sense of exhilaration. It was a smile that somehow made me feel good.
Meanwhile, the Count, who had received new information, went straight ahead. To the place where the military of the empire hid barbarians, to the spring of magical power 'Arsene'.
