The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 112

(3)

5.

“hello everyone!”

A cheerful voice that resonates throughout the hall.

A girl in her late teens sitting in the broadcast box waved happily at the audience.

“My name is Edelin Ruodefeld, and I am a third-year student in the Department of Magic at Arsene Academy who will be broadcasting today’s friendly mock battle. i look forward to!”

“This is Liv Merhale, a second-year student in the knight department at Eloden Academy who was also in charge of broadcasting.”

It was Monday morning.

The day when a friendly mock match was held between Arsene Academy and Eloden Academy. One broadcaster from each school was selected to broadcast the game.

The two men and women right here.

It was Edeline and Liv.

Behind the broadcaster’s stand, there was an audience area reserved for students and professors, and a huge screen was installed in front.

A device that transmits video of a mock battle.

As everyone’s eyes turned to the screen, Edeline spoke again.

“I heard that this mock battle is somewhat different from Arsene’s mock battle. “Can you please explain for Arsene’s students?”

“Yes, of course.”

With a polite answer.

Soon Liv’s explanation began.

“Eloden’s mock battle is conducted by capturing the opponent’s flag. Or even if you neutralize all of the opponent’s troops, it is considered a victory.”

“That means there are two victory conditions!”

“That’s right.”

Liv nodded.

Edeline asked again.

“Then are there any conditions or rules that must be observed in this mock battle?”

“Yes, first of all, to prevent serious injuries, all players must wear protective clothing and only use wooden weapons.”

After mentioning the obvious conditions first.

Afterwards, an explanation of the rules was added.

“Next, I will explain the special rules that only exist in Eloden’s mock battle.”

“Special rules?”

“Yes, these are the rules regarding the base.”

Liv pointed to each faction’s base.

Small huts each built at the north and south ends. That place is the heart of each camp and where the flags are kept.

“First of all, there must be two people protecting the base. It cannot be more than this, and it cannot be less than this.”

“What if there is a change in personnel?”

“If there is only one person left or more than three people remain, a 10-minute grace period will be given.”

If it is not restored to its original state after that, it will be considered an abandonment of the match and will be disqualified. Edeline smiled awkwardly at the somewhat tricky rules.

“Then, if you both leave the base… … .”

“You are disqualified immediately.”

A firm answer without compromise.

It was indeed a strict rule.

“Secondly, the flag of the base cannot be moved or moved to another location arbitrarily. “It doesn’t matter how much you do inside the base, but if you move outside the base, this will also result in disqualification.”

This was an understandable rule.

If you could move the flag at will, the mock battle would turn into a game of hide and seek.

“Finally, thirdly, base defense personnel can be replaced every 10 minutes after the start of the battle. Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t replace it.”

After finishing his explanation, Liv closed his mouth.

After taking a moment to catch her breath, Edeline smiled brightly and changed the topic.

“Yes, thank you for your kind explanation. “Then, next, I’d like to ask you about how to distinguish between victory and defeat in a battle.”

After smiling brightly.

Edeline’s question continued.

“In Arsene, players are given magic beads, and if the beads are destroyed, they are considered dead. “How about Eloden?”

“Eloden is similar. The only difference is that there is a way to win without breaking the marbles.”

“yes? “What does that mean?”

“I’ll show you directly.”

Liv took out a small bead.

He placed the beads on a video recording device so that those in the audience could see them.

“These are the beads that will be used in this mock battle.”

As soon as he placed the bead on his palm, Liv’s body was enveloped in a bluish light. It meant that one had successfully possessed the marble.

“If you are attacked while holding this, the magic power of the orb will decrease on its own.”

“Oh, can I try it?”

“yes? What if it’s a test… … .”

“Eight!”

Even before Liv finished speaking.

Suddenly, Edeline hit him on the shoulder.

That’s pretty strong too.

When Liv’s face took on a look of embarrassment at the sudden surprise attack. Ethel Lin widened her eyes as if she was curious.

“Wow, it’s true! “My horsepower has decreased.”

“… … Yes, so if it is difficult to find the orb, you can win by depleting the orb’s magic power with repeated attacks.”

Liv answers with a shocked expression.

Edeline asked again.

“Then how many times do I have to attack to completely deplete the opponent’s orb’s magic power without destroying the orb?”

“It depends on the severity of the attack.”

“What if it was just my attack?”

“You will have to hit me more than 20 times.”

“okay. Then, if the power is strong… … .”

Edeline clenched her fists.

In response, Liv raised his guard.

Sudden defensive stance. Edelin, who discovered this belatedly, tilted her head.

“huh? “What are you doing all of a sudden?”

“It’s just in case.”

“Hey, I won’t hit you. Do you really think I’m the kind of person who would hit you 20 times?”

“… … .”

No answer came back.

Edeline cleared her throat as if trying to lighten the awkward atmosphere. At that moment, she saw a group of groups appear on the battlefield.

“Ah, while I was talking, a new object appeared on the battlefield! “What is that?”

“I am a magic soldier.”

“huh? what is that?”

“You can think of it as a private army with 5 units given to each student. You can use it freely, such as to surprise the enemy or defend your base.”

The stage for the mock battle is very large.

It was 5km from end to end.

If there were only twenty-four students on a battlefield this size, it could be said to be a bit of a waste.

Accordingly, Eloden Academy tried to create an environment more similar to an actual battlefield by deploying magical soldiers.

“Wow, this is kind of new. “So, 60 magic soldiers will be given to each faction?”

“no. “There are 50 units in each camp.”

“yes? But then the calculation… … .”

“According to the rules, the two stationed at the base are not given magic soldiers.”

There was such a rule.

Edeline nodded.

Then.

Players from both sides showed up.

The two broadcasters who discovered this began introducing the players in passionate voices.

“This is Teron Schlagen, the representative of Eloden. “He is a third year student in the Department of Knight Studies, a strong man who has reached the level of a senior knight, and serves as the president of the Eloden Student Council.”

“This is Arsene’s representative, Miss Iris Senior. Just like Eloden, he is a skilled person who has reached the level of a senior knight!”

After the introduction of each representative.

Liv asked curiously.

“Arsene is not the student council president?”

“yes! At Arsene, representatives were selected separately through a selection process. As a result, I understand that Ms. Senior was chosen.”

Well, there is no law that says only the student council president should be the representative. Liv nodded her head in understanding.

Afterwards, while players were being introduced, gasps suddenly erupted from the audience. It was because of the girl who had just appeared.

“That person… … .”

A beauty with turquoise short hair.

The appearance of a girl who gave off a neat atmosphere just by walking caught the attention of not only the audience but even Edeline for an instant.

Faced with this appearance.

Liv looked proud.

“This is Laurea Law Charpel, a second year student at Eloden Comprehensive Faculty. And she is a very noble person who was chosen as the next saint of the Holy Kingdom.”

“Really? Wow, that’s a huge thing!”

The position of a saint in a holy country is so noble that it is comparable to that of the imperial family or royal family of other countries. That’s why Ethel Lin expressed her honest admiration.

But even for a moment.

She continued speaking with a grin on her face.

Because among Arsene’s players, there was someone as noble and famous as Laurea.

“However, there is a big name in Arsene that is not to be outdone. “I am Delia Arpen, a first-year student known as the principality’s genius wizard!”

A person who receives the blessing of Mana.

A person who possesses characteristics as rare as a saint and has outstanding talent for magic.

Since it was definitely comparable to Laurea, Liv nodded in approval.

After a while, almost all players were introduced. Eloden’s last player has appeared.

A young man with navy blue hair.

Liv, seeing him, furrowed her brows.

As if he didn’t like it. But even for a moment, Liv soon performed the duties of a relayer.

“I’m Ian Marcus, a first-year student at the Eloden Knight School. “He is famous as a powerhouse of experts.”

“ah! That cadet is the Eloden expert that I’ve only heard about! “Arsene is also the person we need to be most wary of in this mock battle.”

Edeline pretended to know.

Then he pouted his lips.

“Rather than that, to reach expert level at the age of 18, isn’t the difference in power too big?”

“Maybe so. But I heard that there is someone with similar skills in Arsene?”

“Hehe, that’s right.”

Edeline grinned.

As if he was waiting to be mentioned.

Afterwards, she shouted, pointing at the last Arsene player to appear, a young man with a muscular torso exposed.

“Arsene’s top student this year and the entrance ceremony terrorist! An unprecedented freshman at the center of attention! It’s Ulaanbaatar!”

No sooner had the loud introduction ended.

Liv made an absurd expression for a moment.

“… … “A terrorist?”

“yes! “I was hospitalized for three days.”

“Being hospitalized, what on earth…” … .”

“Ahaha, there is such a thing.”

Edeline scratched her cheek and laughed.

Liv seemed to be avoiding giving a detailed answer, so she didn’t ask any more questions.

After all the introductions were over, the players on the battlefield headed straight to their respective camps.

After a while, when the formation was completed, Edeline muttered with a surprised face.

“what? “This is a bit surprising.”

“Which part do you mean?”

“I’m talking about base defense power. “Ulan students and Ian cadets, who can be said to be the largest force on both sides, were all deployed to the base.”

The base of Arsene and Eloden.

This place where the flag is installed is so important that it can be said to be the heart of each faction.

However, there was no reason to deploy maximum strength here.

Rather, it would be more efficient to deploy to the front and quickly break down the enemy’s formation.

In Edeline’s opinion, the current situation was nothing more or less than a waste of power. On the contrary, Liv’s thoughts were a little different.

“Of course it’s a bit surprising, but I don’t think it’s that surprising.”

“yes? “Why?”

“As I said earlier, the base’s defense troops can be replaced every 10 minutes.”

In other words, it seemed to mean that Ulan and Ian would not remain stuck in the base. Edeline also showed an expression that she finally understood.

“Then this can be interpreted to mean that both sides will conserve their power until the battle progresses to a certain extent!”

“Well, you could say that too.”

Liv grinned.

A smile that is somehow meaningful.

It seemed like there was some kind of plot going on, but Edeline didn’t realize it.

There is only one reason.

pop! Fuuuuuuu!

Red firecrackers decorate the sky.

It was because of the signal announcing the start of the battle.

6.

When a full-scale battle begins.

Unlike the front lines where fierce fighting took place, there was an exceptionally peaceful place.

“I’m bored.”

The base of Arsene’s camp.

Ulan, who was in charge of defending this place, yawned with a look of boredom on his face.

It would be worth it. Unlike the battlefield, this place was downright boring.

‘The good news is… … .’

You can see the battlefield from here too.

To be precise, only the surrounding scenes of CEO Iris Senior and Vice President Camila Tanesia were played in the video.

Still, I’m glad about this.

If it weren’t for things like this, I might have fallen asleep without being able to overcome the boredom.

At that time, I was quietly observing the battlefield.

Suddenly, Ulan’s eyes turned to the other side.

“But you don’t have to look?”

“… … .”

The person there was a young man with a sturdy physique.

The man with dark brown hair tied back did not even respond to Ulan’s words.

The man’s name is Cliff Anton.

He is the student president of the Arsene Student Council and an intermediate wizard who controls wind, earth, and darkness attributes.

He was also a master of defensive magic.

This was the reason Cliff was deployed to the base.

‘But the problem is… … .’

The point was that I had never had a conversation with Cliff since I was deployed to the base.

We never even made eye contact.

Absolutely blatant disregard.

So Ulan didn’t talk to me anymore.

Likewise, with my attention drawn, I turned my attention back to the video showing the battlefield.

‘The raiding party was divided into two.’

Arsene’s attack unit consists of six people.

Group 1 consisted of representatives Iris, Ibella, and a hunter. Group 2 was made up of a combination of warriors, wizards, and hunters.

After a while, the battle began.

Iris, who discovered Eloden’s magic soldier, charged forward with her spear in front of her, and Ulan, seeing this, immediately guessed her skill.

‘The state of an advanced knight.’

It appears to be similar to Himel Deorg, whom he faced earlier. As she was quietly observing Iris’s spear skills, a fierce sword strike came through the gap she had created.

Bababababaak!

A blade aimed at a vital point.

This is Ibella’s attack.

As a mid-level knight, she performed so well that even compared to Iris, she was not inferior.

And the result.

―Gasp!

A brief scream heard in the video.

A member of Eloden’s raid was struck by a strong blow and fell to the ground. Bella didn’t miss this and shattered the magic orb in his arms.

Quack! Push!

With the vivid sound of beads breaking.

The opponent quickly fell to his knees. Additionally, a short notification was sent at the top of the video.

[Rondina Crepito: Dead]

[Remaining Eloden troops: 11]

The first warrior to be born.

Meanwhile, Iris destroyed all of the magical soldiers led by Rondina. Accordingly, Eloden’s attack force decided to retreat without hesitation.

―Don’t miss out and catch up!

The first to move was Ibella.

Not satisfied with her first performance, she kicked the ground. She then stabbed the retreating enemy with frightening accuracy.

-Go first! I’m in charge of this.

Did he realize that he couldn’t run away?

One boy voluntarily remained on the battlefield.

He engaged in a fierce battle with Ibella with his shield in front, but when Iris soon joined him, he could no longer hold on and collapsed.

[Jürbo Bettimann: Dead]

[Remaining Eloden troops: 10]

The raid team killed the two in an instant.

It was a clear takeover.

Ibella looked back at Iris with a faint smile. Soon, instructions came.

-It is dangerous to go any further here. First, let’s monitor the situation and move on.

You may be subject to counterattacks from attack and defense units that entered hastily and then fled.

Iris tried to move while calmly checking Eloden’s formation. Considering rejoining Team 2 if necessary.

But at that moment.

There were also casualties on Arsene’s side.

[Mond Parcheca: Death]

[Arsene remaining troops: 11]

An intermediate wizard who controls fire and water.

Iris sighed upon hearing the news of the death of a third-year member of the student council.

But the surprise is not over yet.

[Yuria Petoron: Death]

[Miffy Amarinno: Dead]

[Arsene remaining troops: 9]

Two additional casualties occurred.

Iris and Ibella’s eyes widened.

It was worth it.

Because the three who just died were all members of the 2nd group attack corps. In other words, the notification currently printed was the news that Group 2 was wiped out.

-Why on earth… … .

Eyes that flutter as if agitated.

Group 2 is not weak.

Each one was a strong man who had reached the level of a mid-level knight or mid-level wizard. Also, since they were all members of the student council, they would get along well.

But they were wiped out so quickly?

Who on earth was your opponent?

At the moment when his eyes were filled with doubt, Ulan’s eyebrows twitched as he watched the video.

“That… … .”

Bright red eyes were bright.

Like I discovered something special.

And that moment.

―… … !

Ibella’s expression on the other side of the video also changed.

Like Ulan, it seemed like he had discovered something. Then, with her urgent cry, she turned her body in the opposite direction.

-Seniors!

Ybella leaps out like an arrow.

She suddenly swung her sword at Iris.

Iris was taken aback by the sudden attack, but did nothing to block it. This is because she realized that Bella’s sword did not contain her killing intent.

And this was the best choice.

A flash of light flew from beyond the bushes.

The sword strike aimed at Iris’ nape was canceled out by Ibella’s sword.

Ga-ga-ga-ga-gak!

Iris, who narrowly avoided the surprise attack, quickly retreated, and soon opened her eyes wide as she confirmed the identity of the attacker.

―Well, you… … !

―Hey, this is a bit unexpected.

A familiar voice was heard along with a startled cry. A young man with navy blue hair, wearing a protective suit, a wooden shield, and armed with a wooden sword.

He looked at Ibella and smiled.

-I never thought you would notice the surprise attack.

The strongest power of the Eloden faction.

It was none other than Paladin Ian Marcus.

At the appearance of an unexpected person, Iris exclaimed without being able to hide her surprised eyes.

-How are you here?!

-We changed shifts. If you want to stay at the base, you have to be able to endure the pain.

Ian answers cheerfully.

However, it was not the answer Iris wanted.

-I’m not asking that… … !

-Haha, I know. The question is, how did we get here so quickly?

It is about 3km from Eloden’s base to here.

Even if you run fast, it takes about 10 minutes.

On the other hand, Ian appeared here ten seconds after the time for replacement of base defense personnel arrived.

A speed that makes no physical sense.

At that time, Ian revealed the reason.

―It’s simple. It’s thanks to you, senior.

-yes? If you are a senior… … .

-It’s me.

-Laurea?!

Ibella shouted in surprise.

The next saint, Laurea.

Ulan narrowed his eyes at her appearance on the screen. This is because the presence of Laurea explains why Ian can arrive at the battlefield so quickly.

‘Bridge of Light.’

One of Saint Laurea’s unique prayers.

A sacred spell that allows you to travel anywhere exposed to sunlight, starlight, or moonlight.

It is an ability no different from instantaneous movement.

‘Right. ‘Is this why you chose the plains?’

The canyon has more shaded areas than sunny areas.

So, if the terrain was difficult to use the Bridge of Light, the plains were the opposite. It was sunny all over except for the forest in the center.

‘Then what was first deployed to the base… … .’

This is probably to catch people off guard.

If Ian had been assigned to the attack or defense unit from the beginning, Iris would not have been as aggressive as she is now.

Meanwhile, Iris and Ibella also looked shocked. It was only then that I realized that it was all Ian’s plan.

However, there is nothing wrong with either of them.

Unless you know the existence of the holy spell called Bridge of Light, it is natural to suffer.

When the conversation stopped and silence came.

Iris and Ibella licked their lips.

As if exchanging whispers.

I wanted to hear what they were talking about, but I couldn’t hear it because the voice was so low.

After some time has passed.

Suddenly, Iris took a step back, and Ibella and another raid member confronted Ian.

-Are you ready?

With a sly smile.

Ian leaned forward with his shield in front of him. He then swung his wooden sword playfully, then pulled up the corners of his mouth and smiled.

-Then, please help me.

Eyes shining with fighting spirit.

Ibella also did not lose and adjusted her sword.

Colleagues from past lives.

When I saw the scene of the swordsman and the paladin confronting each other, my body became itchy without me knowing. The moment when a triumphant smile bloomed on Ulan’s lips.

Paaaat!

Ibella’s wooden sword crossed the air.

It was a signal for the opening of war.
