The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 266

Chapter 58. All in one hit (6)

13.

After returning to the academy.

Instead of carrying out their originally scheduled schedule, Ulan and his party moved to a cafe. It was because I encountered an unexpected person.

“uh? “Look over there.”

“Isn’t it Count Deorg?”

“oh! “Really?”

The main character of the gossiping conversation.

A knight guarding the southern front of the empire and a swordsman with a high reputation as one of the five masters.

It was Istan El Deorg.

Meanwhile, Istan tilted his teacup without paying any heed to the pouring gaze. It was a time when I was enjoying my leisure time.

“… … “Why on earth did you come here?”

A voice was heard breaking the silence.

It was Ibella’s voice.

She looked at Istan with narrowed eyes, but his reaction was indifferent.

Instead, he even smiled and asked back in a very natural way.

“That’s a strange question. “Isn’t it so surprising that a father would come to see her daughter?”

“Well, that’s… … .”

Ibella blurted out.

If the two father and daughter had a normal relationship, this would make perfect sense. But the relationship between the two was by no means ordinary.

That’s because the two have lived without acknowledging each other’s existence for over ten years.

“And you didn’t even send a letter? “I’m stopping by the academy on Thursday.”

“I knew that too, but… … .”

I had no idea it would come so openly.

Ibella frowned as she received unnecessary attention thanks to this.

“Why did you come here in the first place? I’m sure you didn’t come up just to see me… … .”

“Why do you think not?”

“Because it’s awkward.”

Ibella answers confidently.

As the saying goes, the relationship between the two was very awkward. Istan nodded his head as if agreeing with her words, but also shrugged his shoulders.

“So you should come visit more often. Only then will she be able to fulfill the duties she was unable to fulfill as a father.”

The right words flowed out one after another.

Then Ibella closed her mouth. As if she was thinking about what to answer. Istan burst out laughing at this sight.

“Of course, what you say is not wrong. “The reason I came to the academy today was not just to see you, but for another purpose as well.”

After finishing the conversation with Ibella.

His eyes moved to a barbarian man munching on ice across from him.

It was Ulan.

“And one of them is you.”

“hmm? “Do you have any business for me?”

“okay. “I wanted to ask for advice.”

After answering, he nodded with a serious face. And he continued speaking again.

“I recently picked up a sword again, but my senses haven’t returned, and I still feel like I’m blocked by a wall like I did before.”

“I don’t know the sword.”

As soon as Istan finished speaking, Ulan gave a firm answer. This is because I understood what the advice he said meant.

Istan, on the other hand, shook his head.

“I’m not asking you to teach me swordsmanship.”

“Then what do you want?”

“To be honest, I just want to gain real-world experience with you. Then, somehow, I think I can regain my lost sense.”

“Um, so… … .”

Ulan summarized Istan’s request.

Some time after that.

He asked questions to confirm whether what he had organized in his head was correct.

“Do you want to play a few games with me?”

“Well, that’s it. And, of course, the more times you spar, the better.”

Istan grinned.

It was the expression of someone who had completely revealed his true feelings that he had been hiding. Ulan shook her head as if it was no big deal.

“If that’s the case, you’re welcome.”

“Haha, thank you. “I thought you would say that.”

Istan burst out laughing.

As if all my worries were solved. Then he asked back with a warlike smile.

“Then when is it convenient? “If it’s okay with you, I don’t mind starting right away.”

An expression that makes you anxious to swing the sword right now. Ulan also grinned. As if he wasn’t the only one who enjoyed fighting.

“That goes for me too… … .”

So, just as I was about to continue answering.

Suddenly, a white palm covered Ulan’s mouth. As a result, the conversation stopped, and Istan’s gaze naturally turned to the owner of the hand.

“Hello, Count.”

A girl bowing her head politely.

She is a small, squirrel-like girl with impressive black hair that resembles the night sky.

“It would be nice to spar with Ulan, but before that, I have something to say to the Count.”

“hmm? Are you… … .”

“Ah, the introduction is late. “My name is Noah Darshen, a shaman from the same tribe as Ulan and Ibella’s classmate.”

It’s definitely a name I remember.

Although we didn’t exchange a few words, it was particularly memorable because the hair was a rare color in this area.

“So, you have something to tell me?”

“Yes, there is something I would like to ask the Count for help with regarding Ulan. “If you don’t mind, could you please listen to my story?”

“Of course. “I’ve received help so far, so I’m happy to help in any way I can.”

When told that it was related to Ulan, Istan nodded without a moment of hesitation.

Immediately, meaningful words came back.

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Hmm? “What are you talking about?”

“Because the Count is actually the only one who can grant my request.”

Now that you say that, it makes me curious.

Istan said with an interesting face.

“good. “Then tell me what you’re asking for.”

“Thank you for accepting me.”

Noah only said that he would listen to the request, but he quickly lowered his head. Afterwards she pursed her lips, still smiling brightly.

“Sirpi Ludrik.”

“… … !”

“Do you know who it is?”

Noah smiles brightly.

On the other hand, Istan’s expression quickly hardened.

It was natural. Because an unexpected name came out of an unexpected person. So, when I was confused, Noah’s words continued.

“What I would like to ask you is related to Sirpi Ludrik. To be more precise, it would be more accurate to say that it is a story about pagans in the desert.”

Sirpi Rudrik, pagan of the desert.

Istan figured out the current situation with just two clues that came out of Noah’s mouth. That’s why I whispered with a stern face.

“… … “I’d like to hear more details.”

“Yes, that’s what I hoped for.”

This succeeded in attracting attention.

Now all that’s left is to talk to Istan and get his cooperation. After setting a goal, Noah’s eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

14.

Meanwhile, at that time.

Demuel Ron Dermore, who left the imperial castle and returned to the mansion, widened his eyes when he heard the story of his only daughter, Jurpe Dermore.

“… … what?”

He always maintained his composure, but at this moment, he couldn’t. Demuel stuttered out a question with a look of astonishment on his face.

“W-who said someone came?”

“Students attending Arsene Academy. Oh, I heard that your father wrote a letter of recommendation.”

Ulaanbaatar and Noah Darshen.

The fruit of an old relationship, barbarians from the grasslands beyond the northern snowy mountains. And now it’s a significant risk for DeMuel.

‘The warrior and the stranger.’

When the two names that Lacus, the Lord of the Abyss, had warned about came out of Jurpe, he hurriedly grabbed Jurpe’s shoulder and asked back.

“Are you hurt anywhere? Or did he ask something about your body?”

“yes? No, there was nothing like that. “I have more questions in the first place, so I probably asked a lot more questions, right?”

Yurpe’s story flows smoothly.

Demuel listened to this and carefully examined every part of her body. Afterwards, she realized that there was nothing wrong and sighed softly.

“Whew, I see.”

It was a sigh filled with relief.

As the tension eased, Demuel quickly regained his cool. After erasing her embarrassed expression, she immediately turned to Yu Lepe and asked a question.

“Are you the only ones who visited the mansion?”

“No, there were five of us.”

“what? “Five?”

Are there people other than these two who came?

When Demuel asked curiously, Jurpe nodded and took out a small notebook.

“Yes, I already asked your name and wrote it down here to give it to my father.”

A notebook given from Jurpe.

Demuel immediately opened his notebook and checked the names of the five people who visited the mansion.

[Ulaanbaatar]

[Noah Darshen]

[Ibella Eleaad]

[Dilia Arpen]

[Tisha Lapidis]

There are only four star heroes.

The moment I confirmed that a stranger had also come there, a shiver suddenly ran down my spine. Even my eyebrows trembled slightly due to some unexplainable anxiety.

“Jurpe.”

“yes?”

“Did you even tell them why they came to the mansion? For the purpose of visit… … .”

“Uh, I heard you came here just to say hello. Is there anything wrong?”

“… … “No, it’s nothing.”

Seeing Jurphe asking worriedly, Demuel shook his head. However, she could not hide her darkened complexion.

On the other hand, Jurpe seemed unaware of his feelings and chattered about what she had experienced earlier.

“Everyone was very mature. There is only a one year difference in age between me and you. “I guess this is all thanks to attending the academy, right?”

First impressions of Ulan and his party.

And Jurfe, who continues to talk about all the stories she had with Ibella.

How long has it been like that?

“Hmm! So that’s what I mean.”

After continuing to talk for a while, she suddenly looked at Demuel. She then spoke quietly in a subtle tone.

“I’m thinking about taking the entrance exam to Arsene Academy.”

“Uhm, yeah. hmm? what?”

Demuel, who had been shaking his head mechanically, opened his eyes wide. It was because I heard unexpected words from Jurpe’s mouth.

Meanwhile, regardless of Demuel’s reaction, Jurpe continued to say what he wanted to say.

“Actually, it’s been my dream for a long time. So, even before I fell asleep due to a sudden illness.”

This was true.

Even before he passed away, Jurpe often mentioned Arsene Academy.

As Demuel was reminiscing about old memories, Jurpe continued to add reasons why he had to take Arsene’s entrance exam.

“I want to learn various subjects that are difficult to learn here and make friends. So, I’m going to ask my father for permission at this time.”

“Well, that’s… … .”

“Will you allow it?”

Bright eyes like a rabbit.

In fact, I didn’t even have the slightest desire to send him to the academy. I wanted to keep him by my side forever and keep him safe.

‘but… … .’

Now the mansion was no longer safe.

The fact that a stranger and four warriors came to visit probably meant that they had noticed something.

Also, Jurpe’s sparkling eyes made it difficult for her to refuse the request. Demuel, who had been pondering this issue, eventually raised the white flag.

“Okay, I’ll write you a letter of recommendation.”

“Oh, it’s okay! “I want to confidently take the entrance exam with my skills.”

“i get it. “Then do it.”

“Hehe, thank you.”

Is it because permission was given willingly?

Jurphe smiled brightly, holding Demuel on her arm. Her smile was so bright that even De Muel, who had a stiff expression on his face, laughed.

Some time after that.

After finishing his conversation with Jurpe, Demuel left the mansion and headed to the basement toward the annex.

It was a place that had been on my mind ever since I heard that the Ulan group had arrived.

‘There are no signs of anyone breaking in.’

The latch was still the same as when it was first put on, and the guards outside the basement said that no one had come here.

After examining it carefully several times, DeMuel finally came to a conclusion.

“… … “It looks like everything is safe here.”

It’s a blessing in disguise.

The basement of the annex is a place where traces of Lacus and his family clearly remain. Furthermore, it was also the place where direct contact was made with the Abyss worshipers.

Therefore, Demuel was truly relieved that the existence of the basement had not been discovered. Of course, there were people who had different thoughts than him.

“But we can’t let down our guard.”

A clay doll that suddenly popped up.

It is Lacus’ alter ego. Lacus glanced around the annex with flashing red eyes.

“I can smell a spirit around here. There is a possibility that the location of this place was identified or discovered by the warriors.”

Demuel’s expression hardened at those words.

On the contrary, Lacus did not react that flustered. I just faced reality with a relatively calm attitude, as if the time had come.

“I guess I’ll have to move my residence just in case.”

“Do you have a place in mind?”

“There is no need to think about it separately. “In the current situation, there is only one suitable candidate.”

Lacus’ eyes turned north.

The place where his gaze was directed was the place where Demuel had stayed until just now, and the residence of the second Apostle of the Abyss who would soon be born.

“I will choose Hwangseong as my new base.”

Imperial castle of the Leuven Empire.

A place that even warriors cannot easily access.

That’s why Lacus distorted the corners of his mouth in a bizarre way. It seems as if he is very satisfied with the clever idea he came up with.
