The Academy's Barbarian-Chapter 98

“this, this is invalid!”
A cry that sounded like a scream.
Ulan tilted his head at the sudden stop of the merchants who appeared soon after..
“why?”
“You didn't break it, did you break it?!?”
“you're right! This is invalid.”
“Rather, compensation for damages…….”
When merchants kept talking.
Suddenly, Perticia asked questioningly..
“But there were no such warnings.?”
“what, what?”
“If it's really going to be invalid, you should have told them not to break the magic lamp or break the wall beforehand..”
“that…….”
I was speechless for a moment..
It's because the absurd emotions soared..
That's right.
With common sense, how many people can throw a dart and break a wall??
So the moment I tried to refute it right away.
“oh, i heard it.”
“There were no such precautions?”
“I'm not breaking the rules anyway.
“Don't be mean, give it!”
Suddenly, onlookers joined in..
They were all tricked guests..
Opinions tipped to one side in the blink of an eye.
After some time in public opinion getting worse, the merchants finally raised the white flag..
“Ugh, I see. Got it!”
“Hurry and choose a prize!”
“You only have to choose three.”
Leaving the trustworthy merchants behind.
Ulan leisurely glanced at the prize stand..
‘First, the wrist guard.’
Something I've been eyeing.
These are wrist guards for Ybela. Next, I chose a large umbrella in the corner..
As far as Ulan knew, the weather forecast in Perticia had never been wrong..
‘finally…….’
what should i choose?
I slowly looked around the shelves, but there was nothing I particularly liked. It was all ornaments, ornaments, or clothes..
Then there was something that caught my eye.
A small wooden statue carved in the shape of an owl. Ulan, who was looking at this, immediately turned his gaze to Per Tisha opposite her..
‘Come to think of it, I liked birds..’
Memories of Pertisia in past lives.
She was particularly fond of birds. So, while she was fighting against the abyss, she remembered that she often collected bird-shaped ornaments and dolls..
Recalling the nostalgic memories, he grabbed the owl statue without hesitation. Then, as I was about to move to the place where Perticia was,.
“stop.”
A cold voice pierced my ears..
A brown-haired female knight. From the first time I saw Pertisha, she was Li Mer who always stood by her side..
“don't come any closer.”
With eyes full of vigilance.
Rimer glared at Ulan with his hand on the hilt. But Ulan ignored her warning and moved on..
“……I'll cut you if you keep coming.”
The last warning flew fiercely.
However, Ulan ignored even this and approached Perticia. Then, Rimmer's eyes were filled with murderous intent..
The moment I moved forward and stepped within five steps.
An aura dwells in Rimer's sword..
Master's realm spreads out in an instant.
At the same time, an imperceptibly fast sword strike was poured toward Ulan. A fierce blow that does not show any hesitation.
but at that moment.
Fuck! Quadduk!
A strange change unfolded before Rimer's eyes..
It was because the sword that was aiming at the neck was caught in Ulan's grasp..
“……!?”
Rimmer's eyes have become huge..
It must be because I realized it only then.
Even after entering the master's realm, there is only one thing that shares the same time as the owner of the realm.
That there is only a master like her.
A feeling of astonishment soon settles on your face.
But I wasn't just surprised. She quickly stood in front of Perticia to fulfill her duties as her escort knight..
“Back off! this man……!”
“no need to be wary.”
But something even more amazing happened.
Ulan had already passed her, at a speed that Rimmer could not perceive..
“I have no intention of harming you.”
The grave voice that followed.
this was an obvious fact.
If Ulan had intended to inflict harm, not only Rimmer, but Perticia and the escorts would have run away long ago..
‘it's my mistake.’
The difference in skill is overwhelming enough to bring to mind the sword of the imperial family, Jul Orden of Saxony. When Lee Mer, acutely aware of her mistake, bit his lip..
Ulan reached out to Pertisia..
It was to hand over the owl statue..
“give it to you.”
“……yes?”
“It's a thank you for stopping the wind earlier.”
Looking at the red eyes that were getting bigger and bigger, he remembered what had just happened..
By the time Ulan starts the lights out game.
In an instant, the wind in the street stopped. This was the result of Perticia borrowing the power of the spirits..
Just before the wind died down, he put his hands together around his mouth and whispered, as evidence.
She did this every time she spoke to the spirits..
‘Even if the wind hasn't stopped…….’
The result itself would not have changed..
If it had the power to break down walls and bring down tents, it would have produced the same result even if the direction was slightly twisted..
It's true that I was favored.
And the favor must be properly repaid. 'Cause that's the way the meadow is.
“Excuse me then.”
With wrist braces and an umbrella.
Ulan turned around without hesitation..
As if there is no business anymore.
However, it was not Pertisia. After a moment of dazed expression, she hurriedly shouted,.
“wait a minute!”
with a trembling voice.
There are many things I wanted to ask him.
I wondered how he realized that it was going to rain earlier, and how he realized that he had stopped the wind by borrowing the power of the spirit..
But there was something more.
“uh, how did you know?”
“what do you mean?”
“i want this.”
She has loved birds since childhood..
It was nice to see them flying freely in the sky without being confined anywhere..
So, the reason why I participated in the lights out game was curiosity, and the other half was trying to get my hands on a statue of a bird I had never seen before..
‘but…….’
The only one who knows that Perticia likes birds is her brother and crown prince Chartrand..
No one else except him knows this. Even Rimer, the escort knight, is the same..
But Ulan saw through even this..
I came up with a reasonable guess.
‘Maybe that person is like me…….’
Could it be that you can see the spirits??
The speculation that started out of curiosity quickly turned into interest and interest. Perticia waited for Ulan's answer with a strangely tense face..
some time after that.
The answer came back a bit sluggish.
“I think you might like birds.”
“that's all?”
“Yes.”
End with a silent nod.
Ulan turned around again..
Afterwards, when he completely disappeared in the crowd, a memory flashed through Rimmer's mind..
“……!”
istan el deorg.
Theoric Al Gorfant.
Memories of the master from the barbarian tribe who defeated the two masters of the Ruben Empire.
The two swordsmen said in unison.
The warriors who defeated them possessed a very special territory that ordinary masters did not recognize..
The moment all of this was put together, the identity of the man who had just stayed here was revealed..
“I hope that savage……!”
“Ulaanbaatar.”
then.
Perticia stole Rimmer's horse..
She murmured with her eyes twinkling like starlight..
“You are a strange person.”
She carefully wrapped the owl statue given to her by Ulan and stared at the place where Ulan had disappeared..
With a curious look on your face.
11.
Meanwhile at that time.
Ulan, who left the market, returned to the square..
Eventually, around 7 p.m..
As the appointment time approached, I saw a familiar face in the distance. A girl approaching with her light blonde hair flowing. It was Ibella.
“Sorry. waited a long time?”
“Okay. I just came.”
Ulan waved his hand lightly..
as if it doesn't matter.
“Yes? where did you go?”
“visited the night market. Is the business over??”
“yeah, it's over.”
A bright smile blooming on your lips.
Looks like things went well.
Then Ibela pulled something out of her bag..
A small sized box. She handed Ulan a box wrapped in stylish wrapping paper..
“Come on, take this.”
“what?”
“try opening it.”
Isabella with a strange smile.
Unexpectedly, Ulan took the box and unwrapped it without thinking..
“This…….”
After a while, what came out from inside was a luxurious black leather belt..
When Ulan tilted his head.
Isabella exclaimed with a smile..
“Happy birthday, Ulan.!”
Ulan's eyes widened slightly at those words..
Today is May 15th.
It was the right date of his birth.
I just forgot because I never had a separate birthday in my past or this life..
However, there was one curious point..
“how do you know my birthday…….”
“Oh, I heard it from Noah..”
Ibella answered as if she had been waiting..
In fact, I kept putting off using the pass, but the reason I dared to use it today was because I had heard about Ulan's birthday from Noah beforehand..
However, I couldn't secure time to prepare a birthday present, so I inevitably secured about an hour of free time..
On the other hand, despite her answer, Ulan's question remained unanswered. Because he never told Noah when his birthday was.
‘But how did you know?’
The question crossed my mind for a moment, but I didn't think about it for long. It's because this Bella kept spitting out her words like chatter..
“The reason why I picked a belt was because I was worried about tightening my waist with a string every time. At least it looks like something a little stronger…….”
The speechless woman glanced this way..
Ulan read what Ibela wanted in her eyes. So she immediately wrapped her leather belt around her waist..
Whiririk! clap!
Further, after properly filling the buckle.
It definitely felt more stable than rope. As soon as I finished putting on the belt like that, Ibella quietly spoke to me..
“how is it? i think i'm fine?”
“i like it very much.”
Ulan grinned..
It was with a satisfied smile.
“thanks. not good use.”
“huh! I'm glad you like it.”
Isabella smiling at the same time.
After the birthday greetings and gift presentation, she turned around without hesitation..
“Let's go now. It's about time for the last train.”
The carriage heading from the capital to Arsene Academy is the last one at 8:00 p.m..
Current time is 7:20 PM.
If you move slowly, you will be able to arrive moderately leisurely. So the moment I was about to move.
“wait.”
“huh?”
“i have something to give you.”
Suddenly, Ulan grabbed Ybela..
Then he took out the bracelet he had bought earlier in the market alley. A bracelet of pale gold, identical to her hair.
“this, this…….”
After accidentally accepting the bracelet.
Ibela looked at Ulan with trembling eyes..
Like asking why are you giving this to me. Ulan replied as if it was not a big deal..
“I bought it because it seemed to suit you..”
Of course, there are also Dillia and Noah's bracelets..
Damn I didn't even say that.
Ibela's cheeks turned red at the reply..
It's because I got an unexpected gift from Ulan, and I was excited..
“hehe, thank you I'm so glad.”
Ibella replied with a bashful smile..
However, it is still too early to say thanks. 'Cause she had one more gift for her to give her.
“I asked for this to be given to you too.”
“Yes? wrist guard?”
“Yes. The swordsmanship you use puts a lot of strain on your wrists. So you'd better put on your guard and wield your sword..”
I need to take care of it now, because I will suffer less from wrist pain in the future..
Looking at Ybela, who opened her eyes wide, Ulan congratulated her with another reason for gifting wrist guards..
“Congratulations on reaching the level of an intermediate knight..”
“……!”
Ibella with a startled expression.
After a while, she asked with her eyes wide open, like a child caught hiding something..
“uh, since when did you know?”
“Ever since I crossed the wall the other day.”
Ulan replied calmly..
Ibella's growth rate is much faster than in her previous life. At this speed, there was a good chance that she would soon become a strong force..
So, I offered sincere congratulations..
Meanwhile around that time.
Isabella was impressed..
Thank you for the gift, but what made me happy more than anything was that he realized that his swordsmanship was putting a strain on his wrists and gave him a wrist guard as a gift..
‘that is…….’
It means that Ulan is watching a lot of himself on a daily basis. Then, along with the feeling of warming my heart, I burst into laughter..
“Thank you so much, Ulan..”
Holding tight to the bracelet and wrist guard.
I was genuinely happy..
“I'll cherish it.”
Today is really the best day ever.
It wasn't enough that I went on a date alone with Ulan all day, I heard that he was beautiful and even received an unexpected gift..
‘in fact…….’
I wanted to close my relationship with Ulan a little more..
I hoped that there would be an opportunity to become a more advanced relationship rather than just a friend. But in this situation, it would be too greedy to wish for that..
Because right now I was happy enough with just this. Bella turned her body, feeling the euphoria that filled her chest..
but that's for a while.
Suddenly, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, and a scene unfolded that calmed the excitement..
shoot it―!
cool pouring rain.
My clothes got a little wet from the sudden heavy rain..
Fortunately, Ulan got an umbrella in advance, so I didn't get too wet..
but besides that.
Two problems arose.
First, it rains too much..
Second, because of this, the carriage to Arsene Academy was stopped..
『alarm』
【Carriage service is temporarily suspended.】
【Range: Outskirts of the capital】
「Camille Village, Barodan City, Yucca Lake, Loelica Monastery, Arsene Academy, etc.」
“…….”
I never thought the carriage would break.
This situation was not planned. I didn't know it would rain this much in the first place..
So, when I was quite confused.
“I'm in trouble.”
Ulan also frowned..
Actually, going back to the academy wasn't particularly difficult. I remember everything about the road, and I was already used to this level of heavy rain..
But the problem was Ibella.
If I went home in a downpour that would make even my umbrella useless, I would almost certainly catch a cold and lie down..
That is, we have no choice but to wait for the rain to stop..
However, the rain showed no sign of stopping. In the midst of repeated waiting, the time arrived at 9:00 p.m..
‘Ugh, what should I do??’
When I was rolling my feet in a nervous mood.
Suddenly, something caught her attention..
“……ah.”
A gift enclosed in a letter from Ibela's father, Count Deorg, to Ulan..
and the night before.
While I was packing my things, I hurriedly stuffed them into my bag at Noah's sudden visit..
It was a hotel voucher.
