The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 113

(4)

7.

Eloden’s strongest force, Ian Marcus.

Iris looked perplexed as she faced the smiling young man in front of her.

‘… … ‘I was hit.’

At first, Ian was assigned to the base.

So I decided that it would take at least 20 minutes to reach the front line.

However, as soon as the shift time came, this man approached the front line at once and annihilated the second group of the attack team in the blink of an eye.

‘What method did they use?’

Last weekend, Iris read many books about types of divine spells at the library.

You can only properly prepare if you know what spells your opponent is using. But this type of order was nowhere to be found.

However, the confusion did not last long.

‘Since that man appeared… … .’

The situation is like spilled water.

What is important now is not how Ian appeared here, but how to overcome these difficulties.

The moment I realized reality.

Iris opened her tightly closed mouth.

“Ibella Eleaad.”

“… … ?”

“Can you buy me some time?”

“Suddenly what time…” … .”

“It just takes a little bit. All you need is some time to ask for support.”

The word ‘support’ is almost endless.

The turquoise eyes shone brightly.

“Are you by any chance an Ulan?”

Iris nodded silently, and Ybella, who noticed this, quickly got angry.

It’s a different story with Ulan.

She grinned.

“great. “Let’s hold on as long as we can.”

“I will help too.”

Arsen, 3rd year student at Military Studies Department.

Land Philius, a hunter who was part of the first raid group, took his place behind Ibella. Meanwhile, Iris took a quick step back.

“Are you ready?”

Ian’s sword was pointed at the two.

He said with a playful smile.

“Then, please do your part.”

Ian’s words as a signal.

A fierce battle soon broke out.

Meanwhile, Iris, who stepped back, quickly tapped the bracelet she was wearing on her wrist.

The name of the bracelet is Connect.

It is a communication device issued only to representatives of each faction. Using this, the representative can communicate with the defense force of the base.

‘Currently contact is possible… … .’

Arsene’s student council president, Cliff Anton.

Iris put the bracelet to her ear and stamped her feet with a nervous look on her face. Not long after that, the voice I had been waiting for was heard.

-What’s going on?

Low-pitched voice.

It’s Cliff Anton’s voice. Iris first revealed the business of contacting me.

“It’s time to get insurance.”

-insurance?

“We were attacked by Ian Marcus. Because we need the power of Ulan to deal with him… … .”

Please remove Ulan from the base.

Iris wanted to say that.

But before I could finish speaking, Cliff gave me a firm answer.

-refuse.

“… … yes?”

What did I just hear?

Did I hear it wrong? There was that possibility, so I was about to ask the question again.

Cliff continued.

-Barbarians are deployed at the base. I guess this was a condition for me and the student council to participate?

A retort without any inspiration.

Iris retorted as if embarrassed.

“B-but then we lose!”

-so?

“So you mean that!?”

-This is a friendly mock battle.

Right after giving an unexpected answer.

Cliff’s question continued.

―The reward is insignificant, and even if you lose, it is just entertainment without penalty. But why do you try so hard to win?

“Because we can win!”

If Ulan can only deal with Ian before the first group of the raid group is wiped out, there is a chance of victory. So Iris shouted with confidence.

But what came back was a negative answer.

―The student council does not want that.

“What does that mean… … .”

―It means that an honorable defeat is better than a victory with the help of barbarians.

“… … .”

I was speechless for a moment.

I knew for a long time that the current student council was united in aristocraticism, but I never thought it would be to this extent.

-There is nothing more to talk about. Hang up.

“Now, wait a minute! Chairman! student president!”

However, communication had already been cut off.

I tried to contact them again but they remained silent.

The moment when a shadow appeared on Iris’s expression. Another wave of despair washed over her.

[Land Phileas: Death]

[Arsene remaining troops: 8]

Hunter Rand defeated by Ian.

Beyond the sight of him rolling around on the floor, I could see Ibella struggling to deal with Ian.

Right after seeing this.

Iris immediately entered the battlefield.

Ibella knew that she couldn’t deal with Ian alone. Wielding her spear and widening the gap between her, she created an opening for Ivela to retreat.

“haha!”

Thanks to this, Ibella was able to catch her breath.

She let out a rough breath and looked at Iris. As if to ask what happened to her support.

Iris bit her lips tightly.

“… … sorry.”

An expression that is trying hard to suppress feelings of resentment.

Ibella asked back with a puzzled look on her face.

“Is this by any chance the student council’s masterpiece?”

“… … ! Oh, did you know?”

“Approximately.”

I was wondering why the student council president wanted to stay at the base, but now the reason has become clear.

Ibella crumpled her face.

It was with an expression that said he didn’t like it.

“It was like that during the entrance ceremony, but they are really childish. “No, is it so unpleasant to see Ulan in action?”

“yes? “It’s an entrance ceremony?”

“huh? “Didn’t you know that?”

Iris asks a puzzled question and Ibella looks surprised. The two girls faced each other and opened their eyes wide.

But the conversation did not continue.

Whoop! Whoa!

A sword attack that rages like a storm.

It was because of Ian’s onslaught.

With his shield in front of him, he quickly closed the distance and immediately grabbed Ibella by the collar.

“You finally got it.”

“… … !”

I tried to fight back, but I couldn’t.

Because it was too close to swing the sword.

Iris belatedly swung her spear, but it was quickly blocked by Ian’s shield. And at the same time, Ian’s sword struck Ibella’s stomach.

“No!”

The pain of being unable to breathe for a moment.

Then, the bead hidden in his abdomen broke. He was probably aiming for marbles from the beginning.

[Ibella Elead: Dead]

[Arsene’s remaining troops: 7]

Ibella was eliminated from the battle in an instant.

Did you feel a sense of crisis because of this?

Iris took a long step back. Ian laughed as if it was ridiculous to see that.

“If you’re planning on running away… … .”

Let me tell you it’s impossible.

He lowered himself.

With the intention of chasing Iris at any moment.

But then, Iris stopped in her tracks and screamed loudly into the air.

“Ulaanbaatar!”

A loud cry that shakes the battlefield.

Iris spoke again.

“If you are watching this video, please exchange with the combatants of the defense unit and then come to the battlefield! I need your help!”

This completes the delivery.

Iris’s expression has become much more relieved.

Of course Cliff would interfere, but it was still important to convey the situation to Ulan.

“Hmm, that’s strange.”

Meanwhile, around that time.

Ian narrowed his eyes.

“I’m sure the connect would have been paid, but why bother asking for help like this? What do you think, Senior Laurea?”

“I guess it’s one of two things.”

Laurea smiled brightly.

“Something went wrong at the base or there was internal strife in Arsene’s camp.”

“… … .”

“Then, while the monster is at the base, we should finish it off as quickly as possible.”

The word ‘finish’ was especially powerful.

The moment Ian finished speaking.

Paaaaat!

The sword and shield were stained silver.

At this, Iris’s eyes were colored with astonishment.

“… … !”

A condensation of pure divine power.

That was because it was a sacred aura that could only be used by a paladin who had reached the level of mastery.

And that moment.

A silver flash hit her.

8.

Similar time.

It was not only the raiding party that was engaged in a fierce battle. Arsene’s defense unit also continued to exchange fierce attacks.

A terrifying barrage of attack magic.

This is Camilla and Delia’s work.

The two wizards, who had a geographical advantage on the hill, poured attack magic towards Eloden’s attack force approaching this way.

After the bombing was over.

“Whoa.”

Delia took a deep breath.

Due to the large-scale bombing that had just occurred, all of Eloden’s magical soldiers were wiped out.

On the other hand, the raid team is still alive and well.

Part of the reason is that they seem to be familiar with these types of battles and are well united, but the more fundamental reason is that they are shields wrapped with divine spells.

“… … Holy power, it’s really tricky.”

Holy power is the opposite of magical power.

Therefore, no amount of magic can pierce a shield wrapped in divine spells.

“In my heart of hearts, I want to use a meteor shower.”

“If we do that, we will truly be annihilated.”

Noah laughed awkwardly.

The Holy Shield is not omnipotent.

Right now, even if Delia uses a star cluster magic of 4 stars or higher, it will be destroyed in vain.

However, in this mock battle, all magic higher than 3 stars was prohibited. The reason was that if we were not careful, there could be injuries.

“But, in this case, the wizard is at a disadvantage.”

Delia pouted her lips.

At first glance, the situation appears to be equal. But if you look closely, this is definitely not the case.

Unlike this side, which consumed more than half of its magic power, Eloden’s raid was overflowing with divine power.

The reason was simple.

“I never thought I could recover my divine power through prayer.”

“Isn’t that a complete scam?!”

Arsen, 2nd year student at Military Studies.

The hunter, Emil Dirbel, grumbled.

As he said, Eloden’s attack party seemed to be aimed at wasting time and consuming their magical power rather than boldly advancing.

And around that time.

The sad news has been delivered.

[Land Phileas: Death]

[Arsene remaining troops: 8]

A hunter belonging to raid group 1.

Upon hearing the news of his death, the defense front was instantly filled with silence.

I think everyone felt it.

The battle line is being pushed back little by little. Delia looked back toward the base and said.

“I guess I’ll have to call Ulan soon.”

“I think so too… … .”

Camilla spoke with an awkward expression on her face.

If you were going to come, you should have already come.

If it were Iris, she would have sent Ulan out when the second group of the raid group was wiped out.

But seeing as he hadn’t arrived yet, it was clear that something was wrong. I immediately asked whether Delia also recognized this.

“Is there a problem?”

“Okay, maybe that’s what it looks like.”

Camilla lowered her head as if she had no shame.

My guess is that the student council president who was with him must have caused some trouble. When Camila gently bit her lip.

Delia immediately turned her head.

“Noah.”

“uh? why?”

“Go to base.”

“That means… … .”

“Change with Ulan.”

Delia’s eyes brightened seriously.

Noah also nodded quickly, as if he recognized the seriousness of the current situation.

“okay. “I’ll tell you to come this way!”

“Yes, please.”

After answering, Noah disappeared.

It is about 1km from the defense line to the base.

Taking this into consideration, I had a rough idea of ​​how much I would have to endure. Soon after Noah disappeared, another sad news arrived.

[Ibella Elead: Dead]

[Arsene’s remaining troops: 7]

The faces of all three hardened at once.

Ibella is an intermediate knight.

He is also a skilled person with excellent fighting sense. Enough to not be defeated even when fighting a high-ranking knight. In other words, there are not many people who can suppress Ibella.

Even if you look at the candidates that immediately come to mind, the only ones that come to mind are Teron, a high-ranking knight and representative of Eloden, and Ian, a powerhouse of the Experts.

Some time after that.

The person who subdued Ibella has been revealed.

[Iris Senior: Dead]

[Arsene remaining troops: 6]

As far as the three know, there is only one person who can overpower her and take down Iris in less than a minute.

“… … Ian Marcus.”

Camilla muttered as if moaning.

The news of Iris’s death means that the entire attack force of Arsene’s camp was annihilated.

It wasn’t just the three of them who heard this news.

“No, they are coming!”

Eloden’s attack force resumed its advance.

Emile shouted, fidgeting.

“What should I do? If it continues like this… … !”

“We have to keep it in check and endure.”

“Will it be resolved if I blindly endure it?”

“yes. “It’s resolved.”

Delia nodded.

With an expression without the slightest hesitation.

“Ulan, if he comes, he will win.”

“… … .”

An answer full of strong confidence.

Camilla closed her mouth as her eyes filled with trust. She then quickly let out a sigh of relief.

“good. “If you say that, I’ll believe it.”

Camilla’s eyes turned fierce.

No matter how expert Ian Marcus was, she was confident that she would not be easily defeated.

First of all, the terrain is advantageous, and I still have half of my magic power left. Delia, too, nodded with a bright smile on her face.

Let’s hold on as long as we can to buy time.

Until the Ulan comes.

With a much clearer purpose, the three began preparing to fight against Eloden’s raiders.

But at that moment.

The three faced a sudden change.

“what?”

Camilla was the first to notice this.

Afterwards, Delia and Emil’s faces hardened.

In particular, Emil, who was trying to load a magic arrow, stuttered with a surprised look on his face.

“Uh, why is the magic power… … .”

Magical power suddenly begins to decrease.

It felt like it was burning quickly, like oil on fire. At that moment, information suddenly crossed Delia’s mind.

I saw it in a book before.

About the phenomenon of burning magical power like now.

First of all, there is only one force in the world that is capable of this phenomenon.

‘Divine power.’

Divine power, which is the opposite of magical power.

Among them, a very pure divine power used by those closest to God. It is said that when faced with this, magical energy burns like burning oil.

And now.

As far as Delia knows, there is only one person in this battlefield who can use pure divine power.

“Laurea… … !”

Turquoise hair visible in the distance.

Looking at the girl smiling mischievously in her direction, Delia growled fiercely.

And then.

[Emil Dirbel: Dead]

[Arsene remaining troops: 5]

With the sound of beads breaking.

An eerie voice pierced my ears.

“hello.”

“… … !”

A young man with navy blue hair.

This is Ian Marcus. He soon climbed the hill and aimed a sword wrapped in silver light.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Finally, goodbye.

A silver sword split the air.

9.

Delia and Camilla were eliminated in an instant.

The two left the battlefield according to the rules.

Each of Eloden’s cadets shrugged their shoulders as they watched the losers leaving.

“It’s more boring than I thought.”

“I know. “Is it too easy?”

“I thought we would fight for at least two hours, but this will end in less than an hour.”

A sneer bloomed at the corner of my mouth.

As we were talking like that, one cadet suddenly tilted his head.

“But it’s a little strange.”

“What do you mean?”

“I heard that Arsene also has an expert, but why haven’t they been replaced yet?”

That’s what I heard and saw.

The raiding party was wiped out and the defense line was completely pushed back, but Ulan was still in the base.

At a time when everyone was wondering.

The answer came from an unexpected place.

“It’s probably because of the student council.”

Eloden’s student council president.

It was Teron Schlagen’s voice. He crossed his arms and spoke in a blunt tone.

“The evening before yesterday, a man who identified himself as Arsene’s student council president came to see me. “I heard you have a suggestion regarding this mock war.”

“What was the offer?”

A story that somehow seems interesting.

Laurea looked curious. Ter On responded by bowing his head respectfully.

“He said he would cooperate with us to win the mock battle, and he asked us to arrange a place where he could meet alone with Laurea.”

“yes? “With me?”

Are you surprised by the sudden mention?

Her eyes turned big.

Meanwhile, as soon as Teron finished speaking, the cadets around him burst into anger.

“That’s not a suggestion worth listening to.”

“How dare you, Lady Laurea…?” … .”

“So what did you answer?”

“Of course I refused.”

Teron answered immediately.

“Because we are strong enough without using such mean methods. However, apart from that suggestion, there seems to be an internal problem.”

If there were no problems, there would be no way I would have made this suggestion. The cadets nodded as if they roughly understood Teron’s answer.

“Still, it’s a bit disappointing.”

“you’re right. “I wanted to see Arsene’s Expert and Marcus’ Cadet fight.”

Battles between Experts are not common.

Especially if it’s students.

So the cadets secretly looked forward to a fight between Ulan and Ian. Although Ian, the person involved, had completely different thoughts.

“I just want it to end like this.”

“Hmm? “Why?”

“Oh, you really aren’t confident?”

When someone mockingly asked, Ian quickly nodded without hesitation.

“If we fight, I will definitely lose.”

An immediate answer without hesitation.

Ian frowned and added.

“That man is a monster.”

“Monster, monster?”

“Even if Laurea senior helps me, I can’t win. No, even if we all attack, we probably won’t have a chance of winning.”

After giving a firm answer.

He put his hands together politely.

“So, seniors, please pray quickly. “I ask that the monster not be released from its cage until the mock battle is over.”

Ulan must be at the base at all costs.

This is a necessary condition for Eloden to win this mock battle.

Next, raiding the base all at once, ignoring the Ulan and capturing their flag is the only way to win.

After sharing this strategy, Eloden’s attack force began to advance again.

A hut rising high on a hill.

Towards Arsene’s base.
