The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 16

(One)

One.

Ulan’s last specialty test.

The magic power detection test was conducted outdoors.

Ulan, who was looking around the large amphitheater, headed towards where the other test takers were. And this time, he had all eyes on him.

However, unlike during the scuffle, most people showed interest and curious looks. There were hardly any people who were wary of him.

‘I guess the inspectors haven’t arrived yet.’

There are 10 minutes left until the test begins.

So I decided to wait leisurely. Afterwards, I was looking around the exam room as if taking a look.

His eyes were fixed on one place.

Unlike the other test takers gathered in a huddle, the girl sat quietly alone. Ulan narrowed her eyes.

‘That guy…’

Rich silver hair.

Quietly sparkling golden eyes. A person with a beautiful appearance like a statue. That is why she is a girl who exudes a stronger presence than anyone else.

Ulan knows who she is.

‘Dilia Arpen.’

A mixed race of humans and fairies.

The fifth princess of the Principality of Arpen.

A wizard loved by Mana.

There were countless names for girls, but this was by far the most famous.

‘Star Witch.’

The strongest wizard who drops meteors.

Delia was one of the seven warriors, and was so powerful that she was ranked among the top three among all wizards on the continent at the time.

The second companion from my past life I found after the swordsman Ibella. However, this time she wasn’t that surprised. Delia often said that she was from Arsene Academy.

‘It was still small even then.’

He is clearly the same age as Ulan.

However, if you look at his face, he looks much younger than Noah. It’s enough to believe that I’ve just grown out of being a child.

Did you feel Ulan’s gaze at that time?

Suddenly, Delia turned to look at him.

“······.”

Interest in golden eyes.

But that only lasted for a moment.

Delia quickly withdrew her gaze.

His quiet personality is not much different from what I saw in his past life. Ulan smiled silently, feeling somewhat nostalgic.

Then at that moment.

The supervisors appeared.

Jump, jump, jump!

The number is seven in total.

It appears that several assistant supervisors were also included. The exam room soon became quiet. As I was looking at them, I suddenly made eye contact with a man.

A middle-aged man with a stylish mustache.

As soon as he made eye contact with Ulan, he, believed to be the test proctor, scrunched up his face.

Fierce hostility radiating from his eyes.

It was a cold, blatant gaze, as if looking at something disgusting. Feeling this, Ulan suddenly remembered Noah’s words.

“Professor Direk is probably trying to bring down Ulan somehow. So, what I’m saying is that they will use all sorts of methods to give us an F grade.”

When I first heard it, I thought it was random.

But as soon as I saw the look in the supervisor’s eyes, I had a hunch that it might be true.

I don’t know the exact reason.

Because the hostility in his eyes is clear.

As I was silently thinking about the advice I heard from Noah, a familiar voice knocked on my ear.

“······Difflin?”

It was Delia’s voice.

His face, which had been expressionless the whole time, became emotionally agitated. Surprise, and bewilderment. What on earth are you looking at? Ulan looked in the direction she was looking.

What’s there is another girl.

The girl waved her apricot colored hair and waved at Delia. At that moment, Delia’s face hardened.

Wow!

Delia bit her lip.

Surprise and embarrassment soon turned into anger.

Judging by their reactions, it seems like they are acquaintances.

Not in a good way. Just as I was thinking about that, the supervisor came up to the podium. This was the same man who showed hostility towards Ulan.

“I am Direc Ormine, a professor at the Faculty of Magic. I was in charge of the proctor for this 《Magic Detection》 test.”

A brief self-introduction.

Just by looking at his tone, I could tell he was strict.

Afterwards, Direc introduced the assistant supervisors who came with him one by one, and finally pointed to the girl with apricot-colored hair.

This is the girl who waved her hand earlier.

“And the person over here is from the Magic Faculty who came to observe this exam…”

“I’m just an ordinary bystander.”

At that time, the girl cut off Direc’s words.

With a pretense of telling me to be quiet. It was a somewhat rude behavior, but Direc immediately shut his mouth. Without even showing a single sign of dislike.

“Hmm! Then, I will explain the content of the test. “This special test is divided into three parts.”

first. A test to verify how quickly you can recognize the flow of magic power and find the magic core that makes up the center of the flow.

second. A test to find the magical core in a magical medium and then perform a given task by causing a magical reaction.

third. The test is to pair up in pairs and face multiple magic golems to safely recover as many magic cores as possible.

These tests were aimed at examining the qualities and application of magic power, as well as cooperation and delicate magic manipulation.

“The scores for each test range from 0 to 5. First place is given 5 points, and last place is given 0 points. The rest will be distributed according to each student’s grades.”

There may be a lot of overlap in other scores, but 0 and 5 points mean that only one is given to last place and one to first place.

“Please note that students who receive 0 points even once and test takers with a total score of 5 points or less will receive an F grade. “If a test taker gets a perfect score of 15, I will definitely give them an S grade.”

After the score-related explanation was over.

Assistant supervisors came whining and carrying something. A bead as big as a watermelon. He is the guy who measures the magic power of wizards.

“Before we begin the test, we will first begin verifying magical power. “This is to find out your capabilities, so I ask for your cooperation.”

Director closed his mouth for a moment.

He continued speaking with a serious face.

“Oh, by the way, if there is someone whose magical power is measured to be less than ‘100’, I will immediately give them an F grade, so please know that.”

As soon as Direc finished speaking, laughter broke out everywhere. The same was true for the assistant supervisors and Deflin, who was by his side.

“Ahaha! See you again, Professor Direc. “I heard he was the most boring person in the department, but I never thought he would make jokes like this.”

It was almost like a laugh.

Having a magic power of less than 100 means that you are not even a wizard. So everyone thought it was a joke and laughed.

On the other hand, Ulan could not laugh.

‘It’s just as Noah said.’

I don’t know why, but Professor Direk is determined to take down Ulan. Otherwise, there would be no reason to conduct such verification.

Ulan was troubled.

For a moment, I thought about using spirit, but the mana used by warriors and the mana used by wizards are clearly different in nature.

As a professor at the Department of Magic, there is no way he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. So he was wondering what to do.

‘huh? wait for a sec. This······.’

My eyes widened slightly.

After a while, Ulan gently stroked his stomach. Because in an unexpected place, he found something he had never intended.

Immediately his eyes shined like stars.

As if I had found a way to overcome the difficulties.

2.

Some time after that.

The horsepower measurement went smoothly.

“Roxent Shar Air. 825 horsepower.”

“Kashan Alekhine. 680 horsepower.”

The test takers’ magical power reserves are recorded on the blackboard. Direc, who was watching this in silence, soon turned his attention to Ulan.

‘I’m sure I’ll finish this.’

This guy is a warrior from a barbarian tribe.

There is no magic let alone magic. This is information that Count Dermore said, so it must be certain.

Direc smiled in remorse.

I imagined the enormous research funding I would receive from the Count. As Ulan’s turn came closer and closer.

“D, Delia Arpen. 2,885 horsepower!”

The assistant supervisor who was measuring horsepower shouted with a shocked expression on his face. With that, everyone’s eyes turned to Delia.

The same was true for Direc.

It was worth it.

Just looking at the simple horsepower, it was three times the highest horsepower value ever measured.

“Hehe, as expected of my student.”

Then Deflin grinned and laughed.

It seems that the old student she was talking about was that girl. Please don’t mess with Delia. Direc made that promise.

How long has it been like that?

Finally, the target arrived.

Ulan Bator. Deflin looked amused at his appearance accompanied by the sound of pounding footsteps.

“For some reason, I feel like a warrior rather than a wizard?”

That’s because he is a warrior.

Direc, who was sighing inwardly, immediately looked at Ulan. Then he spoke as if warning.

“Just in case, the magic power of warriors is basically undetectable.”

So, if you have any vain hopes, give up.

I wanted to say this, but surprisingly Ulan didn’t show any signs of agitation. It looks like he’s given up. Direc laughed bitterly.

“Please place your hand on the bead.”

Ulan obediently follows instructions.

The results came out quickly. But for some reason, the assistant supervisor’s expression was so shocked.

‘Well, I guess that’s worth it.’

Because it would have shown that there was no magical power.

Just as I was about to tell them that it was not an error and that they should announce the results quickly, the assistant supervisor spoke first.

“Ulan Bator, 100 horsepower.”

“······what?”

Direc’s expression turned blank.

What did you just say?

100 horsepower? Not 0 horsepower?

While I was speechless as if I was embarrassed, the exam room was once again in a state of commotion. It was the same reaction as when Delia’s results were announced.

“what? “A hundred horsepower?”

“Is that guy really a wizard?”

“Why is that the only magic power I have?”

However, I was surprised in a slightly different sense.

Amid the flood of questions, several test takers raised objections.

“Wait a minute, isn’t that elimination?”

“that’s right! “If it’s less than 100 horsepower, it’s rated F?”

“No, that’s not true.”

“It’s not less than 100 horsepower.”

With the students’ conversations.

Direc’s face was grotesquely crumpled.

‘shit! ‘Damn it!’

If I had known it would be like this, I would have just said less than less than less. I never thought I would have wasted my opportunity by choosing the wrong words.

No, more than that, how on earth do they have magical powers?! He clearly isn’t a wizard!

A time when Direc couldn’t get out of chaos.

Deflin, who had been silent, narrowed his eyes. Afterwards, she watched Ulan’s back as he returned to his original position.

“You are an unusual student. It is common for wizards to store mana in their hearts, but I never thought they would store it in the small intestine and nowhere else.”

In addition, there was something unusual.

The vessel of mana, which never moves once it settles in the heart, somehow feels as if it is slowly descending.

Also, at first glance, the blue area around the abdomen looked unusual.

‘One last thing.’

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Ulan sensed two Mana vessels instead of one. Although it was as small as a glass bead.

“Hehe, it looks like there’s one more new student to keep an eye on besides Lia.”

Difflin’s eyes widened like crescent moons.

Like discovering a new toy.

After some time has passed.

The magical power verification of all test takers has been completed.

And Direc also managed to escape the confusion. Barely suppressing his surging anger, he went up to the podium again and opened his mouth.

“······Then, the test will begin now.”

Although I failed this time.

Next time, I’ll definitely drop it!

Direc’s eyes shone with determination. Whether he knew this or not, Ulan just quietly picked her ears.

And just like that, the final exam has come to an end.

3.

With the start of the exam.

Assistant supervisors whined and brought in large boxes. Inside are over a thousand beads. Each and every one of them has a very small amount of magical power.

“The first test is something that fits perfectly with the term 《Magic Detection》. First, you will each be given one hundred beads.”

As soon as the director finished speaking.

A hundred beads stuck to the wall. Maintaining a fairly wide gap. He pointed to the wall and continued his explanation again.

“Each bead contained 10 magical powers. However, there is only one bead containing 15 horsepower. Find it and destroy it. “That’s what this test is all about.”

Immediately after the short explanation.

The atmosphere of the exam room became dark. A look of embarrassment appeared on the test takers’ faces.

If the test is to find and destroy magical beads among ordinary beads, it is not that difficult.

‘But it’s quite difficult to find beads that differ only in the amount of magic power.’

Even a difference of only 5 horsepower.

To perceive this, one must have a certain talent for reading the flow of magical energy. Or, he is a student who has consistently taken lectures on magic detection.

In other words, it does not mean that it is not the level of difficulty that will appear on the exam for test takers. Since he knew Direcdoi well, he placed one condition.

“Of course, I am aware that this is a test of a higher level than your abilities. So let’s add one special condition.”

After pausing for a moment.

Direc smiled kindly.

“Even if you break another marble that is not the correct answer, no points will be deducted. “The purpose of this test is to find and destroy the target as quickly as possible.”

This meant excluding all other factors and only looking at the time to find and destroy the target.

The test takers’ complexions suddenly brightened.

Because it was worth doing.

But his words are not over yet.

“However, the use of any tools is prohibited during this test. The same goes for wands and spellbooks. And if the body touches the marble, the candidate will be immediately given an F grade.”

“······.”

The test takers’ expressions became subtle.

Not using tools or touching the body meant breaking the beads using only magic.

Still, this achieved some degree of balance.

By the time the test takers had understood the test content, Direc glared at Ulan again.

‘This is really the end.’

Ulan are warriors. A warrior who cannot destroy the marble without using his weapon or body. And it didn’t matter even if he could use magic.

‘He only has 100 horsepower.’

Even ‘Magic Arrow’, which consumes the least horsepower among attack spells, consumes 50 horsepower for one use.

So, this means that the best thing Ulan can do is to properly read the flow of magic power, find the exact target, and destroy it.

However, Ulan will not be able to do that.

‘That guy’s beads are special.’

The hundred magic beads to be given to Ulan all contained the ‘same’ magic power.

In other words, no matter what he does, just treat it as a wrong answer and that’s it.

‘I’m tired of being together, let’s never see each other again.’

Go back to the plains, you barbarian.

Direc smiled sinisterly.

Meanwhile, at that time, the students’ exams were going smoothly. Most test takers achieve their goal in around 3 minutes. Meanwhile, a result emerged that caught the attention of many.

“Dilia Arpen. 24 seconds!”

This time too, it was Delia.

Reading the magic flow, finding foreign objects and destroying them. It took less than 30 seconds. It was five times faster than other test takers.

“As expected, he is the disciple I raised.”

Deflin laughed again.

Direc also nodded in agreement. That’s because Delia’s skills were truly outstanding.

And finally.

Ulan came forward.

An oddball who applied for a specialty in magic and possessed only the bare minimum of magical power as a magician. It was natural that everyone’s attention was focused.

Fight! Patter!

Beads sticking to the wall as if they had been waiting.

Ulan glared at this with an expressionless face.

Then he frowned.

‘I don’t know either.’

I know that the beads contain magical power.

But I don’t know what’s different.

To Ulan, they are all just the same beads. Even if I tried to concentrate or frowned and glared at them, I couldn’t tell them apart at all.

‘I can’t help it.’

I have no choice but to use that method.

At the time when Ulan’s eyes were sinking low.

An assistant supervisor spoke up.

“The test will start in 10 seconds.”

The message was to prepare in advance.

Ulan nodded. He caught his breath, pushed his right foot back, slightly tilted his upper body, and balled his fist.

“huh? “What are you trying to do?”

“No matter how I look at it, it looks like you’re going to swing your fist?”

“Oh, no way. “Then you are eliminated.”

“In the first place, the fist itself wouldn’t have made contact at that distance, right?”

The distance between the ulan and the beads is about eight steps.

It’s a distance you can’t reach even if you stretch out your feet.

At the moment when the students’ curiosity grew, the assistant proctor announced the start of the test.

“start!”

At the same time.

Ulan stretched out his fist.

Huh!

With the sound of crossing the wind.

In an instant, the space became distorted.

What kind of magic is that?

Just as the test takers’ eyes were widening, there was suddenly a loud knock on their ears.

Paaaaaa!

It was the sound of beads breaking.

There was no need to find out which marble was broken. Because all the beads stuck to the wall turned into fragments and powder and flew around.

Everything, nothing left.
