The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 8

right after jumping off a cliff.
Ulan moved swiftly like a flying squirrel and slowed down. And he even showed off the feat of landing on the ground without a single wound..
Whoops!
At the end of the intense shaking, the snow accumulated on the trees poured down. Ulan brushed off the snow and shook Noah's shoulder..
“Arrived.”
“ugh ugh······.”
“You can come down now.”
I retrieved the arm that held my waist.
Noah sits down on the floor. As you can see, the strength in the legs seems to have gone down..
“are you okay?”
“······no. it's not okay.”
A weak voice came out..
After a while, Noah, who barely recovered, muttered while moving his body..
“I finally realized why Ulan had to learn basic common sense from Master..”
“that's good.”
“I'm not praising you.”
Noah glanced at him..
After that, I got up completely and looked around. A town close by. At least it's worth jumping off a cliff.
“Still, thank you for saving me time. After finding a lodging in the village, I'll teach you all the common sense that Ulan lacks..”
“Teaching is always welcome.”
Ulan grinned. as expected.
After some time, the two arrived at the village..
It was a small town. As for the members, there are a little more than forty people..
“have you ever been here?”
“no. It's my first time in this town. With Master, I only stopped by the villages to the east every time..”
Noah looked around the village..
For some reason, it felt familiar. I'm not sure why. But now was not the time to visit the town.
“Let's start with the lodging.”
I was worried that there would be accommodation because it was such a small village, but fortunately there was one..
A place for herbalists and hunters to rest for a while. Just got a new problem.
“I'm sorry, but there is only one room..”
“yes? there is only one?”
“Everything else is being used as storage..”
“ok, my butt hurts.”
Noah frowned..
But the trouble didn't last long. A blizzard is coming soon. Noah let out a sigh and nodded her head in resignation..
“I can't help it. please give me that.”
“two silver coins.”
“Ugh! what is so expensive?!”
“If you don't like it, go somewhere else.”
“Ah, I get it! I do it in two pieces.”
Noah hurriedly took out his pocket..
Meanwhile while she pays.
Ulan said nothing and looked around at the people inside. nine men. They were all different ages, but they had something in common..
That everyone is looking at Noah.
To be exact, the pocket that Noah took out.
His gaze was fixed on the silver coin filled inside. Looking at the greedy eyes, Ulan narrowed his eyes..
‘Are these guys looking for silver coins?.’
The steppe tribes don't use currency.
So the desire for money was not so severe. But outside it was different. Money here is more valuable than life, depending on the circumstances..
I've seen knife fights between parents and children over just a few silver coins..
“Ulan. go up now.”
Then Noah spoke.
It seems that the calculation has been completed..
A large tray and two loaves of hard-looking bread were placed in both hands. Maybe that's dinner tonight.
Awesome! kiik!
Through the creaky wooden stairs.
The two arrived at the assigned room..
and at the same time crumpled.
“Ugh, that's incredibly messy..”
“It seems to be true that it is used as a warehouse..”
Dust piled up on the bed and floor.
Noah took out something while frowning..
“I need to clean it up sometime.”
“what is that?”
“It is a talisman that changes the direction of the wind..”
Noah fluttered the talisman.
After attaching them to the window, the wall, and the bed, Noah opened the window wide..
“After attaching this appropriately, use a technique that amplifies the power of the wind······.”
A turquoise seal engraved in the air).
As I just said, it was a technique that amplified the power of the wind. performance was great.
Whoa! wheeeeing!
A strong wind blowing quickly.
It was powerful enough to blow away dust..
The problem was that all the dust shot up into the air at once, instantly filling the room with dust..
“Coke! Coke! Bo, you see! Coke! All dust! Coke! will disappear.”
Noah explains with a violent cough.
He's smart, but he has a blind spot somewhere. I thought so in my mind. But thanks to that, I was able to avoid sleeping on the dust..
“Then I'll wash up and come back.”
“i get it.”
Noah disappeared into the bathroom.
Ulan, who was left alone, sat down on the clean bed and looked at the scenery of the village in silence..
then.
Suddenly, through the floor, I heard people whispering from the first floor. At that moment, Ulan instinctively focused his senses on his hearing..
Soon after, a disturbing conversation was heard..
‘silver. barbarians. slave. food. approximately.’
All I heard was a few words.
But even listening to this, I got a rough idea of what the situation was like..
Ulan put his tongue on the crusty bread..
A subtle bitter taste.
Frowning, he crushed all the bread and threw it under the bed. And after a while, Noah came out after taking a bath..
“Whoa, at least the towels are clean..”
wet black hair.
It was with a much clearer expression.
“Oh, I made the water warm with magic. Ulan's share is left, so wash up and come back..”
“thanks for the favor.”
after bowing my head.
Ulan quickly and quickly finished the shower. After she came out she saw Noah walking around the room as if she was looking for something..
“Ulan, in case you haven't seen the bread?”
“i ate it all.”
“······.”
“give me this instead.”
The beef jerky and cheese you brought with you when you left the meadow.
Noah finished the meal with a satisfied face, probably because it was much better food than hard bread..
The night that came before I knew it.
I could hear the sound of a blizzard raging through the window. With nothing to do, Ulan went straight to bed..
“then sleep now.”
“Oh, I'll sleep on the floor.”
“why?”
“That's why there's only one bed.”
“Although it is only one, it is wide.”
“no, that's not the problem······.”
Noah muttered as if troubled..
Ulan waved his hand at this..
“are you okay. 'Cause I don't talk too much in my sleep.”
“ugh, that's not it.”
“then what?”
Noah's ears burned red at the repeated question. After a while, she mumbled, fiddling with her bag..
“No matter how much I am an alumni, there is a saying that I am a 7-year-old male and female.······.”
“male and female, what?”
“I'm saying it's not healthy for grown men and women to sleep in the same bed.!”
Noah's face turns red.
Ulan nodded..
“Right. I understand what you mean.”
“Whoa, I'm glad you know now.”
When Noah sighed.
Ulan tapped the bed again..
“Come on, lie down next to me.”
“You didn't understand a thing!”
“do not worry. No matter how much lust boils, I will not touch a child.”
“······yes?”
“More than anything, you lack a lot to receive my seed. So you can sleep in peace. Promise on the honor of a warrior.”
I made an oath, so I'll be relieved.
Ulan thought so. On the other hand, Noah, who had been dazed, immediately shouted in an absurd tone..
“no no. Wait. uh, little kid? me? Have you ever heard of my age??”
“I know that at a glance.”
after answering.
Ulan said with a confident face..
“You're about eleven years old?”
“Because it's not! I'm sixteen!”
“what? sixteen?!”
“is it so. I'm the same age as you!”
Noah screaming with an angry face.
Ulan, on the other hand, looked startled..
I was really surprised. After living her second life, it is no exaggeration to say that she was most surprised..
“······really?”
“Really!”
I asked again just in case, but it's true.
Ulan's expression quickly hardened. He spoke with a very serious face..
“Have you ever been cursed?”
“didn't catch!”
“I can't explain it if it's not a curse.”
“not a curse!”
Noah screamed..
After all the fuss has passed. Noah strongly appealed that he was 16 years old and that he was not cursed..
some time after that.
“Whoa, I'm kind of tired.”
Letting out a heavy sigh, Noah crawled to the corner of the bed. Then he muttered with a pouting face as he covered himself with the soft blanket..
“Children will sleep first, so you can sleep next to Ulando or on the floor, whatever you want..”
“i get it.”
Ulan lay outside.
After that, I raised the senses of my whole body to the maximum. Then, hearing, sight, and even the sense of touch became sharp like a well-honed knife..
Enough to hear Noah's heartbeat.
how long has it been like that?
Ulan suddenly spoke..
“Noah.”
“······why?”
The half-submerged voice returned.
It seemed like he was about to fall asleep. Of course, Ulan didn't care and asked the question he was trying to ask..
“You promised not to use violence as much as possible earlier, but if you are attacked first, what response do you think is right??”
“what's the situation?”
“when someone wants to kill me.”
“Then we have to knock him down and ask him why he attacked. Knowing why you want to kill me will make you feel better..”
As soon as Noah's answer was over.
Ulan jumped out of bed.
“my thoughts are the same as yours.”
“no, then why did you ask?······.”
The moment Noah made an absurd expression.
Ulan kicked the ground like a flash. Then she banged hard on the door with her fist..
Kwaaang! kwaduk!
A door that shatters violently.
Noah opened his eyes wide..
A surprised expression. This was partly due to Ulan's sudden action, but the real reason was different..
“Wow! Heck!”
It was because Ulan was violently holding a man's head. The man who let out a painful moan soon collapsed in foam..
“i think i will need it soon.”
Ulan finished the dry answer.
He looked towards the stairs leading to the first floor. dozens of men. Among them, there were those who looked at Noah greedily earlier..
“shit! he noticed!”
“attack all at once!”
Facing the pouring intent to kill.
Ulan grinned..
It was the eyes of a beast with its prey in front..
