The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 80
(4)
5.
Just before the test of the magic war begins.
Looking at Parco, who was 20 steps away, Ulan recalled the warnings he had heard from Stella..
‘I told you to live as lightly as possible?’
Stella urged you to use the minimum amount of strength and skill to avoid hurting the other person..
because it already has a history.
The case of shouting at the entrance ceremony and making hundreds of victims, and the case of turning Himel to blood in the selection match.
So, if a victim is caused by Ulan again, he may be punished more severely than last time..
Shortly after hearing this.
Ulan also understood his situation..
So I accepted her request..
‘let me see.’
After thinking, he looked around..
as if you're looking for something.
After a while, Ulan picked up a small pebble from the floor..
“this should be enough.”
If you do this, you won't die even if you get hit..
Of course, all he was aiming for was Parco's orb. If you do it right, nothing will happen to your body..
But no one knows what lies ahead.
So, just in case, I chose the smallest pebble..
‘and when throwing…….’
You have to throw as hard as you can..
No more, no less, just enough to break the beads. Around the time when I was estimating how much power I should put into it.
“I will start testing soon!”
Stella's cry was heard in the distance..
Ulan straightened his stance..
With the start of the test, with the thought of throwing stones immediately. and at that moment.
beep!
A whistle sounded.
threw a pebble straight away.
“ah.”
I realized my mistake at the same time.
It took a little more force than I originally intended. And when he realized this, the stone had already left his hand..
Kwajik! click!
First of all, the purpose itself was accomplished..
The stone went right through the marble.
But the problem happened next.
Whoops! kwaduk!
As if there was still power left even after penetrating the marble, the stone flew away while rotating fiercely. Eventually, the stone arrived at Parco's Myeongchi..
“this.”
I didn't mean this.
It wasn't really intentional, so Ulan put on a puzzled expression for a moment..
But it's still too early to panic.
It took more power than I thought, but it wasn't too much..
‘therefore…….’
I thought maybe it wouldn't be such a big blow..
But that was Ulan's idea.
Parco, who was hit by a stone, stumbled over and fell to the floor..
dump!
Parco collapsed like a untied doll.
At the same time, a quiet desolation fell over the exam hall. However, for a moment, Stella's scream, who grasped the situation, broke the silence..
“school, professor!?”
Stella hurriedly stormed into the test room.
She helped the fallen Parco.
“professor! Calm down, professor.!”
But the answer that does not come back even if I call.
So I urgently checked my breathing and pulse..
Fortunately, there were no major problems. He seemed to have fainted temporarily..
After letting out a sigh of relief at this fact.
She immediately glanced at Ulan..
“Ulan! I told you to take it easy!”
“I threw it as lightly as I could.”
“Then why is the professor fainting??”
“Maybe it's because it took a little more power than I originally thought..”
“Then you're not old enough!?”
Stella shouted in an absurd tone.
Then, with a wondering face, I asked.
“Seriously, I don't think I loaded it with mana.?”
“that's absolutely not.”
Ulan strongly denied.
“If you put mana on a stone, you'd have a hole in your chest by now..”
“…….”
I immediately closed my mouth at the eerie answer..
I wonder if anyone else knows, it's because Ulan didn't sound like a joke when he said this..
When an awkward silence lingered for a moment.
“cool!”
Suddenly, a violent cough was heard..
The sound that came out of Parco's mouth. He shuddered and let out a violent cough..
“cool, cool!”
“professor! All right, are you okay??!”
“……Alas, yes. it's okay.”
After barely nodding.
He looked around blankly..
“Rather, why are you at the test center? And why am I on the floor…….”
Is it because I suddenly fainted??
Parco didn't seem to remember anything right before passing out. In response, Stella explained what had happened, and his eyes widened..
“that I fainted?”
“exactly. I'm sorry.”
Then Ulan lowered his head..
As if you have no face.
“Originally, I only intended to break marbles, but it seems that a little more force was used unintentionally..”
“…….”
Parco had an absurd expression.
I deserved it.
It wasn't enough to throw a stone from 20 paces away and break the marble, to say that he fainted himself..
‘If that's really possible…….’
In the first place, there was no need to listen to the lectures of the Magic Wars. Skills or whatever, just throw a rock and shoot at the mage..
A look of still disbelief.
After a while he opened his mouth.
“Check the video recording device.”
Fortunately, a video recording device is operating at this test site. If you check this, you will be able to find out whether Ulan's words are true or false..
some time after that.
Ulan's words turned out to be true.
“……!?”
The sound of a whistle announcing the start of the test.
At the same time, Ulan threw a stone, which knocked Parco to the ground. No other action or interference was recorded..
A very simple result.
Parco's eyes trembled..
“this, what is this, what…….”
Said he knocked me out with one real rock?
this is nonsense.
I wanted to deny it, but I couldn't. There was no possibility of the video recording device being tampered with..
then.
Stella spoke out of nowhere.
“This is definitely an S grade..”
“what, what?”
“It was because I overpowered the opposing mage with the start of the test. Also, since no magic was cast, there is no deduction factor..”
“but this……!”
It's not a skill you taught yourself.
Ulan just threw stones at me.
so i didn't want to admit it.
‘Above all, to that savage…….’
I didn't want to give an S grade that can only be given to one person per lecture. That's why the moment I tried to deny the results of Ulan.
“Before we started, the professor said?”
Stella opened her mouth one step ahead..
with a smiling face.
“The shorter the time taken to subdue, the higher the score. Oh, by the way, I recorded every conversation from the moment I got here..”
“…….”
Voice recording device in Stella's hand.
Seeing this, Parco closed his mouth..
‘Perhaps the reason why he took himself as an observer…….’
Was it like this from the beginning?
he bit his lip.
Questions that popped up at the same time. It was that I couldn't understand why Stella did this for mere savages..
“S grade, I'll give it to you?”
“……Not to mention the sexual reflection.”
“tell me you're sure.”
Stella clinging to you tenaciously.
After a while, she smiled contentedly only after receiving Parco's confirmation..
“whoops, thank you.”
“…….”
“Then we'll excuse ourselves.”
“I'll be back. take good care of yourself.”
at the end of a short goodbye.
Ulan and Stella quickly disappeared..
On the other hand, Parco looked at the backs of the two with a bewildered face as they were gradually moving away from each other..
That was then.
“I deeply understand your feelings.”
A low-pitched voice suddenly heard.
it's a familiar voice.
Parco reflexively turned his head..
Soon after, a middle-aged man with a shaggy beard appeared in front of his eyes. He let out a hollow laugh and murmured:.
“I was feeling the same.”
“……Professor Harban?”
Harban Kapitus.
An Assassin who once made a name for himself in the Border Realm.
In addition to all kinds of stealth skills, he is especially good at tracking. So, he was currently teaching tracking using his specialty..
At the same time, he was a longtime drinking friend of Parco..
“Hey, you know what my test is?”
Parco nodded silently..
The practical test of tracking is a kind of hide-and-seek.
It is a test in which Harban, who has disappeared from the test site, is tracked down and found within the time limit..
The average duration of this test is approximately 30 minutes..
1Exceeding the time is a disqualification..
However, Ulan's speed was beyond imagination..
“10Found out in seconds.”
“……what?”
“I thought he even erased the sound of his breathing, but he found it right away. So I took the test one more time and the result was the same.”
On top of that, in the second test, I added the condition of 'tracking and subduing' for no reason, and suffered the humiliation of fainting after being hit by a stone like Parco..
Harban spits out a dejected laugh.
In response, Parco remembered Ulan..
‘what is the identity?’
To find Harvan, who was called the master of stealth, in 10 seconds, and to stun himself, a high-ranking wizard, by throwing stones at him..
Are you saying that you really have become an expert??
But then there is no reason to enter the academy. If you are an expert, you will not be lacking in skill even if you serve as the knight commander..
“maybe the rumors are true.”
“Yes? Rumors?”
“It's a rumor circulating in the Kingdom Alliance, but in fact, the barbarians were said to be the secret weapon of the Empire..”
quite an absurd story.
But there was a reason.
“Just looking at this right now, isn’t it??”
“this day?”
“Yes, where is it common for Dean Erkazan to come forward and ask for a retest? And that's just for one student..”
I heard and saw it.
It was a bit excessive for a person like the dean of the military department to take care of the students himself..
‘Come to think of it…….’
I have another concern.
It's equally strange that Professor Stella took himself as an observer and tried to somehow get an S grade after the exam was over..
‘definitely award winning.’
Parco's eyes narrowed..
It was because it smelled like something bad. After a while, he flashed his bitter eyes..
‘Should I do a background check??’
If Uhlan is indeed the Empire's secret weapon, as rumored, this is a matter worth reporting to Parco's homeland, Arval Kingdom..
In particular, the Ruben Empire has been famous for seeking the land of Arbal Kingdom since ancient times..
After a while, Parco turned around..
unshakable eyes.
It was the look of someone who decided to do something..
6.
and that evening.
Around the time the sky gradually turned red.
Noah, who was returning from the practical test, stretched out with a frown on his face..
“oh, it's finally over.”
a more relieved expression.
It was worth it. Because the craftsmanship test that I had been paying attention to since this morning finally came to an end..
Besides, this test was quite a test for Noah's stamina..
So, I almost got disqualified, but thanks to my gritted teeth and running, I was able to avoid the disqualification..
‘One more test left.’
It's the long-awaited 'magic detection' test.
One of the two major events that take place during midterm exams at Arsene Academy. Noah thought of D-Day with a rather serious face..
‘……430th of the month, Friday.’
Last day of midterm exam period.
She carefully arranged what would happen at the fountain of magic. Everything from Professor Direk leaving to turning into a monster.
‘Rather, I have to speak slowly.…….’
We must reveal the whole story of this incident to Ulan and ask for his cooperation. I've already thought of how to explain it..
I was thinking of throwing rice cakes and saying that I saw the future in a dream about the day before the exam..
‘You should be at the restaurant by now?’
Because it's dinner time.
Except for very special occasions, Ulan never skips a meal. Also, by now you should have finished your business with Stella..
So I went straight to the restaurant..
To throw rice cakes at Ulan.
However, as he reached his destination, Noah encountered an unexpected person..
“now it's here.”
“……!”
A girl with silver hair who stood in front of me.
At this, Noah widened his eyes..
“D, Dillia?!”
Star Witch, Dillia Arpen.
At her sudden appearance, Noah asked again, remembering what she said earlier..
“did you wait for me?”
“I have something to say.”
Dillia nodded in affirmation..
Then, the distance suddenly closed..
As Noah's shoulders flinched at the sudden approach, Dillia lowered her head..
“……thank you.”
“uh, uh?”
“Your prophecy, helpful, ok.”
The Abyssal Cultist Assault Incident.
It was all thanks to Ulan that I was able to come back alive after being caught up in this incident..
But there was also Noah's virtue..
Thanks to the prophecy from her beforehand, I was able to not panic that much when I was attacked..
“So, I want to say thank you.”
and one more.
I had something to say.
“With this, let's forget about the last time, each other.”
“Me, if it was the last time……?”
“What happened, in the tryouts.”
When we were matched one-on-one in the selection match.
There was a time when the two of them fought holding each other's hair while their mana was exhausted..
When Noah belatedly recalled this.
“Well, again, let me introduce you.”
Dillia took a step back..
Then, with his hand on his chest, he introduced himself in a calm tone..
“I am Dillia Arpen. He's a magician who handles star magic, and he's very, very special with Ulan..”
special relationship.
The word had a special power.
But Noah was unaware of this..
No, in the first place, Dillia's self-introduction didn't even come into my ears properly. Rather, the situation itself was surprising..
‘I never thought it would be solved this easily.’
completely unexpected situation.
Still, it felt good.
Reconciliation with Dillia was what Noah also wanted. So she, too, introduced herself like Dillia..
Lastly, the strange voice.
The two ended up reconciling.
“Well, now, if you ask me, it will be fine?”
“Yes? What do you ask me all of a sudden…….”
“four prophecies.”
short answer as a signal.
Dillia thrust her face in..
With eyes shining with curiosity.
“I wonder how, how, it is implemented.”
the moment you meet.
Something came to my mind.
It is a characteristic that Dillia Arpen possesses, and one of the penalties given to her..
‘Obsession.’
People, food, goods, knowledge, etc..
Dillia, regardless of field and type, sticks to the object until she is satisfied with something she is interested in..
‘In the original work, he was obsessed with new magic, the mission to close the door to the abyss, and Ibella..’
In particular, his obsession with Ibella was great..
Even when I was away from her on individual missions, it was to the extent that I woke up and made a fuss about joining Ibella..
‘Whereas this time…….’
It seems to be stuck on something called 'foresight'.
Noah smiled awkwardly at this fact..
I wanted to answer, but it was a topic I couldn't answer..
‘'Cause there's no such thing as foresight.’
The foresight that Noah refers to is all just information obtained from the development of the original work..
In other words, because it was talking about something that had already happened in the original game, I couldn't answer Dillia's question..
So when I was thinking about what to say.
“what? Noah?”
I heard a familiar voice from behind..
The object that Dillia in the original work was obsessed with.
It was Ybela Elead..
“Why don't you go in here…….”
The moment I tilted my head.
Suddenly, Evela slurred her words..
There is only one reason. It's because he discovered the silver-haired girl, Dillia, by Noah's side..
and at that moment.
The blue-green eyes turned cold..
