Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 86
(5)
10.
crunch!
The sound of a pencil scurrying.
It was the sound of countless students filling out answer sheets. Most of them had poor grades in the 1st and 2nd exams. So it seemed like a mindset to make up for as much as possible in the written test..
Noah was an exception..
she couldn't concentrate on the exam.
No, I couldn't concentrate..
Because there was something much more important than this test.
‘……When will that change?’
What she's looking at is Professor Direc.
Earlier, he had his head down, but now he was staring blankly into space. With her eyes out of focus, as if possessed by something of her.
‘Obviously in the original…….’
During the test at the fountain of magic, he gets caught up in an incident and comes into contact with the magic of the abyss. Up until this point, it was similar to the original story..
The gray magic that wrapped around Professor Direc is proof..
‘Next, the magic of the abyss and the original magic collide, causing a runaway of magic, and Professor Direc turns into a monster of the abyss..’
A whopping 7-star beast.
Unless you're an expert or mage level, it's an impossible monster to deal with..
‘……I was supposed to.’
It was different from the original.
A sense of discomfort that I felt before.
That's the amount of magic that Professor Direk possesses..
In the original story, he comes into contact with the magic of the abyss, which is at most a handful. This is a small amount, even less than 10% of the magical power that Professor Direk originally possessed..
‘Whereas now it's completely different.’
The situation itself was different..
It wasn't just contact, it was swallowed whole by the magic of the abyss..
Compared to the existing horsepower, it was five to ten times as large. This fact made Noah feel a little uneasy..
‘I hope it won't turn into a stronger monster?’
There was no possibility.
Just look at the magic of the expanding abyss.
Noah pursed his lips nervously. Then, suddenly, she opened her eyes wide..
‘that's right! I need to tip Ulan too..’
Because he can't see magic, he'll think that Professor Direc is normal..
But it's too far to tip.
what to do Should I give up the test and just walk up to you and tell you in a sneak peek? The moment I looked back at Ulan with such thoughts.
‘what?’
Noah's eyes widened..
He, too, was like himself..
Throwing away the answer sheet, Ulan glared at Professor Direk only. Seeing this, Noah blinked his wide eyes..
‘Could it be that Ulan noticed it too??’
I could only explain that.
The sharp eyes and, more than anything else, the fixed gaze on Professor Direc was evidence..
‘I don't know how you noticed…….’
If you're alert, there's no need to tip.
In the current state, the moment Professor Direk turns into a monster, Uhlan will immediately jump out of his seat and wield an axe..
‘Somehow I feel relieved.’
Ulan is a strong man who has reached the level of a master.
If someone like him is wary of Professor Direk, the things he feared won't happen..
By the time Noah breathes a sigh of relief as his anxiety is washed away.
“Eh.”
Ulan let out a low moan..
His gaze was directed to Professor Direk. To be precise, it was the blackboard next to it. This is where the written test questions are written..
‘I don't know any.’
A total of twenty questions on the test.
All of them are descriptive, and the last five questions were calculated based on the magic formula..
It was shocking that it was not objective, but there was a separate part that was more shocking than that..
‘It's something I've never seen in a book..’
There was nothing I had seen while bleeding from my nose for the past 10 days. However, it didn't seem like the issue was misplaced..
Other students filled out the answer sheet..
‘Maybe Noah got it wrong?’
It was the most plausible guess.
Ulan glanced at Noah..
Coincidentally, she too was looking at Ulan, so their gazes immediately met in the air..
and at that moment.
Noah nodded hard..
‘that…….’
do you mean positive??
Just as he was making a puzzled expression, the answer sheet placed in front of Noah suddenly came into view..
Blank paper with no answers written on it.
The moment he saw this, Ulan realized the situation..
‘ruined.’
Noah must have misunderstood the scope of the test.
So it must be that he just gave up without being able to solve a single problem like himself. Ulan judged so.
But he's different from Noah.
Even if it was full of unknowns, I had no intention of running away from the battle right in front of me..
When I looked at the problem again like that.
Suddenly bright red eyes flashed..
‘wait, that's for sure…….’
I looked closely and it was what I saw in the book..
A problem that can be quickly solved by repeating several arithmetic operations by applying it to a specific formula.
But for a while, Ulan found the fatal part of the problem..
‘……Three or more digit addition.’
Areas not yet reached by uhlans.
The crimson eyes trembled slightly. But the time of hesitation was not long.
‘I've been growing up.’
after entering the academy.
I read almost every day, and for the last 10 days, I was engrossed in my studies, even pouring out nosebleeds..
and the result.
I have reached a level where I can confidently say that I have become much more erudite than in my previous life..
‘So don't try.’
Even if it is unknown territory.
After shaking off the tension in the body.
Ulan grabbed the pencil with a grim face..
After that, I transferred the problem to the answer sheet and put all my concentration into it..
To challenge three-digit addition.
“5 minutes left until the end of the exam!”
“finish it now!”
The call of the supervisors at that time.
The supervisors who announced the end of the exam soon approached Professor Direk. It was to report the end of the test.
“me, professor?”
“Exams are ending soon…….”
“are you better than that?”
Supervisors expressed concern.
I had no choice but to.
Because Professor Direk's appearance was beyond words..
It's only been 30 minutes since I returned to District 2, but I'm skinny to the point of being skinny..
Enough to feel that it is not normal even if anyone sees it.
“If it's hard, you can go back first..”
“that's right. We'll sort this out.”
“…….”
I called again and again, but no answer came back. Professor Direk only stared blankly into space with unfocused eyes..
“professor?”
Then an overseer reached out.
Then, the moment he grabbed Professor Direk's shoulder, the supervisor made a surprised expression..
“My God, what kind of sweat is this?…….”
Sweat enough to wet your clothes.
The supervisor continued with a surprised face. but no word was heard.
Whoa! puck!
with the sound of cutting the wind.
It was because the supervisor's head exploded in the air while he was talking. A moment of silence fell upon the sight of red blood, brains, and fragments falling..
“……uh?”
an unexpected situation.
It was so sudden that it took me a while to accept the reality in front of me..
“what, what?!”
“sudden head……!”
And this was their will.
puck! Kwajik! Wooddeuk!
indiscriminate attacks.
The chest was pierced, the head exploded, and the whole body was torn to shreds. The identity of the attack on the supervisors was soon revealed..
It's nothing but gray tentacles.
Its tentacles, which moved like mollusk legs, had teeth at the ends, which it used to gorge on the corpses of its overseers..
At that moment.
Professor Direk's body exploded..
A violent shockwave that soon covers the surrounding area.
quagga gaga gaga!
After a while, a huge shadow was cast over the exam hall. Professor Direk turned into a monster. With this as the beginning, the chapter of the Abigail War soon unfolded..
“uhhhhh!”
“monster! it's a monster!”
“everyone run away!”
The exam hall turned into chaos in an instant.
The students scattered in all directions with screams..
I want to get away from the monster as much as possible. On the contrary, there were also those who turned towards the monster..
Girls who foresaw this in advance.
It was Noah and Dylia..
However, what the two were looking at was not a monster. She was the elusive student sitting a short distance from him..
“Ulan! what are you doing there?!”
“Hurry, this way, come!”
Now that Professor Direk has turned into a monster.
Ulan hadn't left the desk yet. He didn't even want to leave. He just keeps moving his pencil with his tremendous concentration..
then.
“……finished.”
The hardened complexion brightened.
Finally, all calculations were completed. The review was repeated several times, so it must be clear. All that remains is to write the correct answer on the blank answer sheet..
So I immediately picked up the pencil..
“the answer is……!”
but at that moment.
kwaaaang!
The monster's tentacles hit the uhlan.
A blow so strong that the ground shakes. Noah widened his eyes at the shock wave that started again..
“Ooh, Ulan!”
Noah screamed..
On the other hand, Dillia's reaction was different..
Unlike Noah, who only rolled his feet with a pale face, she completed the magic spell before she knew it..
and poured it on the monster.
Flash! Whoa!
A huge starlight flying from the sky.
Noah recognized it at a glance.
‘aurora strike!’
4star cluster magic, aurora strike.
It is a magic suitable for dealing with a single entity rather than a large number, and compared to attribute magic, it is as powerful as a 7-star attack magic..
‘If that's it, sure…….’
Even if it is a 7-star monster, it will take a considerable hit. Noah was so sure.
and at that moment.
An aurora blow landed on the monster's head.
Aaaaaaaang!
A strong shock wave that rises at the same time.
This removed some of the dust created by the monster. As a result, the figure of Ulan came into view, and Noah and Dillia were relieved quickly..
The only thing broken is the desk.
Ulan was fine.
Perhaps, right before the impact, he instinctively sensed the danger and ran away. With another sigh of relief, Noah quickly waved his hand and shouted..
“Ulan! come here quickly!”
“…….”
“Ulan?”
but no answer came back.
Ulan just stood there, staring at the floor with devastated eyes..
broken desk fragments.
Torn answer sheet without shape.
He stared blankly at the two with an expression as if he had lost his country..
No, why are you doing that??
Noah shouted with an absurd face..
“Can't you hear me?! It's dangerous there, so hurry to where we are……!”
The moment I screamed out of frustration.
Whoo! whoops!
Dozens of tentacles swayed through the air, blowing away all remaining dust..
Angry roar heard at the same time.
[aaaaaaa―!]
A cry that reverberates through the exam hall.
Dillia frowned at the pain that pierced her ears. But that wasn't the only reason I frowned..
“……Not even scratches?”
The aurora strike hit properly.
However, there are no wounds on the monster's head. That doesn't mean magic doesn't work..
She's not the only one surprised.
Noah, too, had his eyes wide open..
In the original work, the standard for classifying the monster's class is determined by the class of magic that can damage the monster..
For example, when dealing with a 7-star beast, if you use attribute magic below 6-star, you cannot deal any damage to that beast..
‘So you need a mage.’
7In order to deal with star beasts, you need a mage who uses 7 star or higher attribute magic, or an expert who can wield a mana sword with similar power..
and just.
The 'Aurora Strike' used by Dillia has the same power as 7-star attribute magic..
‘But that didn't work……!’
It means that the monster in front of you is not a 7-star monster. A level one level higher than that..
‘……8star beast!’
Noah's complexion turned pale..
Because what I feared has become a reality.
then.
[uuuuuuu!]
The monster's head turned.
Black eyes like the abyss.
The empty eyes were headed in the direction of Dillia. Did she recognize her prey? The monster immediately stretched out its tentacles..
“Dillia! run away!”
Aware of the danger, Noah hurriedly shouted.
But Dillia couldn't move.
It is because the moment her eyes met the monster, an indescribable fear took over her body..
“uh uh…….”
wobbly legs.
All she could do was shiver like a frightened rabbit..
then.
Noah took Dillia's hand..
“run! hurry!”
Noah pulls her hard.
Is it because a strong force led the body? Dillia's legs, which had been stiff like a stone statue, finally moved..
Then the two hurriedly moved on..
But it was pointless. Because the tentacles approached much faster than the two of them moved.
kaga gak!
Tentacles flying while scratching the ground.
The tentacle reached close and thrust its sharp teeth at Dillia. The moment I closed her eyes reflexively,.
Suddenly the tentacles stopped in the air..
as if someone had caught on.
and at that moment.
oh oh oh billion!
The monster's body was split vertically.
“……uh?”
The monster's torso split in two.
At the same time, the tentacles also lost their strength and shrunk..
After a while, a man with a sturdy build could be seen through the crack. Barbarian warrior with an ax dripping with blood in each hand.
“Ulan!”
Noah and Dillia shouted at the same time..
with a brighter face.
But Ulan's condition was a bit strange..
His usual cold and rational appearance disappeared, and his face was crumpled like a demon..
In addition, even living in full swing.
Seeing this, Noah realized.
‘I don't know what the reason is…….’
That's the expression I often saw in the original work..
One of the characteristics of Ulan.
A penalty that is activated when reason is blown away by anger, and an ability that boasts tremendous power..
It was the 'Fighter'.
