The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 119

(5)

9.

The night after the mock battle.

At 10 p.m., the dormitory curfew began.

The supervisors went around the room checking the number of people, and soon all the lights were turned off.

A hallway immersed in darkness.

Arsene’s guards patrolled around the dormitory as usual. However, I did not notice a huge shadow leaving the window.

Of course, it would be natural.

The identity of the shadow was Ulan, a person who received a lot of attention in today’s mock battle and a strong man who revealed the master’s power without filtering.

Completely hiding his presence, he crossed the forest and headed straight to Laurea’s lodgings.

Some time after that.

Ulan broke through the heavily guarded perimeter in the blink of an eye. He then quickly climbed up the outer wall of the hotel and soon arrived at his destination.

What was visible was a half-open window.

It was probably designed to make it easier to get in.

So Ulan immediately went inside, and before long his eyes met Laurea, who was sitting obliquely on the balcony.

“… … ah.”

Eyes that turned round in an instant.

However, the feeling of surprise soon disappeared. This was because I realized that the visitor’s identity was Ulan.

Then at that moment.

Laurea made a sullen expression.

“what? “Why are you so late?”

“I came at night as promised.”

“But it’s such a night.”

She responds in a blunt tone.

I heard the long drawn-out tone was suspicious, and it was no surprise. I could see Laurea’s cheeks heating up slightly in the moonlight.

“Have you been drinking?”

“okay! “I didn’t even come and drank a little bit.”

“It doesn’t seem like much, but… … .”

“it’s okay. “It’s a little too much for me.”

Five bottles of alcohol rolling around on the floor.

Moreover, he had almost finished drinking the bottle of alcohol in his hand. Laurea continued to hiccup, frowned, and pointed to the chair across from her.

“Rather, sit there. “My neck hurts.”

My neck must have hurt from trying to keep looking up.

Ulan sat down on the chair without saying a word, then looked straight at Laurea and asked about her business.

“Why did you call me?”

“wait. “Please stop with this.”

After pouring the remaining wine into my mouth.

She tapped her cheek with her palm as if trying to come to her senses. She then put her hands together politely and kissed her lips as she looked at the starlight.

Some time after that.

Paaaaaa!

A pure white light enveloped her.

Then, the blush on Laurea’s cheeks subsided to some extent. The hiccups stopped, and my slightly droopy eyes returned to their original state.

“Yes, that’s enough now.”

Laurea looks satisfied.

What she did just now was to blow away her drunkenness with divine power through prayer.

It was a sight he had seen often in his past life, so Ulan looked at her calmly. Laurea also turned her gaze to Ulan.

And soon he revealed the reason for calling him.

“Just now.”

“… … ?”

“While you and Ian were fighting, I had a quick chat with Noah Darshen.”

It probably refers to the time when you crossed over to Arsene’s base using the unique prayer, the Bridge of Light.

She explained every single detail of the conversation she had with Noah at the time.

“In other words, the most significant piece of information obtained so far is that Noah Darshen and the Abyss are not on the same side.”

After explaining the whole story.

Laurea summarized the most important parts of this conversation.

And one more thing.

There was an important speculation.

“This is just my personal opinion, but I think he’s from the future just like you.”

“Is there a reason you thought that?”

“Yes, as I explained earlier, when asked if I knew the future, I answered yes.”

It turned out to be true.

Ulan, on the other hand, reacted with shock.

“But Noah had foresight.”

“I’ve already heard that, but honestly, it doesn’t make sense that foresight can predict such details.”

Laurea spoke firmly.

Above all, given that there definitely exists a person from the future like Ulan, this is more persuasive than foresight.

“So, with someone who has memories of the future like you, it would be more reasonable to say that he explained it as if it were precognitive power.”

After a short guess.

Laurea added an explanation.

“Also, isn’t the reason why Noah isn’t in your memories because you didn’t enter Arsene Academy in your last life?”

“Well, that’s definitely… … .”

It’s a reasonable guess.

If she had attended Arsene Academy in her past life, she would have never encountered Ulan at all.

So, when I was lost in thought in silence.

Laurea spoke again.

“I also have a new question.”

“what?”

“She said her goal was to get back to where she came from, right? So does this mean that you want to return to the original future?”

If so, what is the reason?

The future Ulan experienced was devastated by the abyss and became hell itself?

Laurea looked curious.

In response, Ulan shook his head. As if her guess was wrong this time.

“It probably has a different meaning.”

“huh? what do you mean?”

“When the chasm of the abyss opened, the abyss called Noah a stranger.”

“Because he is a foreigner… … .”

Laurea’s eyes sank.

As if I found an important clue.

A foreigner in an empire or castle refers to a person from a region with different culture and customs, or a person from another country.

So what does the stranger seen from the perspective of the abyss mean?

“Perhaps even to you, Ulan…” … .”

“No such thing was said to me.”

You actually didn’t say that Ulan from the future was a stranger?

Laurea frowned.

It was because I felt like a question that I thought would be easily solved suddenly fell into a labyrinth.

“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to find out more about that.”

It is difficult to make inferences based on current information alone.

After deciding, she leaned back against the backrest. She subsequently brought her conversation back to square one.

“But I’m sure he’s not our enemy. So, I think it would be a good idea to take the opportunity and tell your story.”

Because Noah is not on the side of the abyss.

However, Ulan had different thoughts.

“No, Noah comes first.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t plan on telling my story unless Noah tells me his secret first.”

Unexpectedly stubborn attitude.

Laurea asked curiously.

“why?”

“That guy has too many secrets.”

“If it’s a secret… … .”

“Above all, just because something isn’t an enemy doesn’t mean it’s an ally. So, when I can trust him, I plan to tell him the secret.”

An answer with a firm meaning.

She nodded.

“Well, I agree with that. “It certainly seemed like he had a lot to hide.”

If you think about it carefully, there are still many unanswered questions.

From the fact that two souls coexist in one body, to the inability to answer the question of what one’s identity is, to the unfamiliar word “player.”

As Ulan said, there are quite a few secrets that have not been revealed. Laurea nodded again and decided to respect Ulan’s wishes.

“okay. “Then we’ll have to make a place where the three of us can watch it together later.”

“That would be nice.”

Ulan grinned.

If we let go of all secrets and talk, Ulan will be able to trust Noah.

Eventually, after all the conversations were over.

Laurea grabbed the bottle again.

“Are you planning on drinking again?”

“Yes. “Maybe it’s because the alcohol has worn off, but I can still hear the star’s voice from before.”

Laurea shrugs.

She brought out a new bottle of alcohol, sat down and immediately removed the cap. She then took a sip from the bottle and then looked back at Ulan.

“But.”

“hmm?”

“Why are you looking at me like that since a while ago?”

From the time the business ended until now.

Ulan did not take his eyes off her body.

A look that can be considered blatant. Laurea asked back with a strange smile.

“Are you interested in my body… … .”

“similar.”

“… … what? “Really?”

Laurea was startled.

I only asked this out of a sense of fun, but I never thought he would admit it so obediently.

When I was flustered by the unexpected answer, Ulan corrected his answer a little.

“Actually, it’s clothes.”

“Oh, clothes?”

“Your clothes are different from your last life.”

Currently, Laurea is wearing a black uniform with a silver shawl. On the other hand, in my past life, I always wore pure white robes.

Since I had never seen anyone wearing black clothes, I was naturally curious.

“So I was curious.”

“Hey, what is it? Was it something like that?”

The reason is not as big a deal as you might think.

Laurea sighed as if she had lost steam. He gave his answer right away.

“It’s no big deal. “Black clothes mean that you are a disciple of the Holy Kingdom.”

Therefore, trainee priests, trainee paladins, and even trainee saints usually wear black clothes.

Afterwards, once one’s status is officially recognized, only then is one granted the right to wear pure white robes or sacred robes.

“Right. “I learned something new.”

Knowledge that I did not know in my past life.

Ulan nodded, his eyes sparkling.

By the time her curiosity was resolved, Laurea had emptied the bottle cleanly.

It’s already the seventh bottle. Although she was about to stop drinking, she brought her eighth bottle.

“Are you drinking again?”

“This is not enough. “You know?”

I blew off the alcohol earlier.

So, in order to ignore the voice of the stars and fall asleep, you have to drink more.

Afterwards, Laurea, who had been taking a sip of wine, suddenly looked playful and held out the bottle in her hand to Ulan.

“Or would you like to drink with me?”

“I won’t decline if you recommend it.”

Ulan quickly grabbed the bottle of alcohol.

After a while, Ulan, who had finished drinking all the wine, handed the empty bottle to Laurea.

“It was a good drink.”

“… … .”

It happened in the blink of an eye.

She blinked her wide eyes and then shouted in embarrassment.

“what? “Can I drink alcohol?!”

“You suggested it first, right?”

“No, that’s not it. I heard that in the empire, people are considered adults from the age of eighteen… … .”

“I am not an imperial citizen.”

A very simple and clear answer.

Laurea was speechless.

“And if I were to ask about age, I wouldn’t say I’m seventeen. “Because I have already experienced the time of reaching 46 in my past life.”

This is also a reasonable answer.

Although my body is seventeen years old, my mind can be said to be much older than that.

And the moment I realized this.

“… … .”

Laurea became less talkative.

After a while, she neatly buttoned up the undone button. Furthermore, her slightly open collar was also meticulously closed.

Soon she sat down on the chair and began to glance at Ulan in silence.

“What are you glancing at like that?”

“Oh, no! Nothing… … .”

The voice gradually decreases.

It’s a completely different reaction from before.

When Ulan looked puzzled, Laurea intentionally cleared her throat loudly.

“Hmm! “More than that, I have a question!”

As if changing the topic somewhere else.

She quickly asked a question.

“I mean alcohol. Do you like to drink some too?”

“You could say so.”

“how much? “Do you drink better than me?”

“That’s not it.”

“uh? really?”

“Yeah, out of all my colleagues, there wasn’t a single one who drank better than you.”

Laurea’s eyes turned round.

As if I had heard something unexpected.

“Everyone was surprisingly light on alcohol.”

“No, you are strong.”

Ulan corrected his answer.

Laurea pouted her lips and decided to change the question a bit.

“Then who is the best drinker after me?”

It must be Ulan this time.

Just by looking at it, it looks like a good drink.

But an unexpected answer came back.

“It’s Perticia.”

“Yes? If it’s Perticia… … .”

A name I heard once before.

She asked back, searching through her memories.

“Other than Ian, he’s definitely the person I said was closest to me, right?”

“Yes.”

Ulan nods his head in the affirmative.

At the same time, a new curiosity arose.

It was also a question I couldn’t ask before because I didn’t have time.

“What kind of kid is he?”

“Compared to you, I have a gentle personality.”

“What?!”

Laurea’s face crumpled.

A look of discomfort.

Meanwhile, Ulan continued talking, still recalling information about Perticia.

“If there is another characteristic, it would be that it is half human and half spirit.”

“Half-human, half-spirit?”

“It is said to be a hybrid of a human and a spirit.”

“Well, is that possible? “Spirit has no substance?”

“I don’t know the details either.”

I just heard Perticia say that she was half-human and half-spirit when she first introduced herself.

He also actually used elemental magic.

Meanwhile, she must have decided that she could not get an accurate answer from Ulan, so she asked another question about Perticia.

“Then what country is this girl named Perticia from? “Is she also the Principality of Arpen?”

“It is the Leuven Empire.”

“really? That’s surprising. For some reason, I felt like he was from the Principality of Arpen. So are you a noble of the empire? Or a commoner?”

At a time when many speculative remarks were being made.

Ulan’s reply came back.

“Perticia is a princess.”

“… … what?”

“The seventh princess of the Ruben Empire. “When we first met, he introduced himself like that.”

Laurea’s eyes widened.

As if he couldn’t believe it.

“Are you sure I’m remembering it wrong? The current emperor’s bloodline must be six people… … .”

“You had the same reaction in your last life.”

Ulan answered in a familiar tone.

But the disbelief quickly disappeared.

Because the introduction of Perticia seen through the projection eye turned out to be entirely true. After hearing this explanation, Laurea muttered with a surprised face.

“The hidden princess… … .”

This is another interesting piece of information.

Bright yellow eyes sparkled with interest.

A little while later, when the story about Perticia was coming to an end. As she listened to her story, she spoke with a slightly sober face.

“Tell me more about what happened this way.”

“What do you mean?”

“A memory of the future.”

“Would you like to hear more of Perticia’s story?”

“No, that’s over now.”

“then?”

When Ulan asked, Laurea closed her mouth for a moment. Hesitating to answer. After a while, she muttered in a low voice.

“… … “When we first met.”

“what?”

“When I first met you!”

This time a slightly louder voice came out.

Her cheeks were strangely red, probably because she was drunk.

With slightly wet eyes, Laurea looked persistently into Ulan’s eyes.

“And I want to hear everything about what happened together and how you became friends again.”

“Why are you curious about that?”

“I’m curious. So, let me hear it.”

The look of holding on without backing down.

I don’t know why, but there seems to be a reason why I have to listen to it. It wasn’t particularly difficult, so Ulan nodded her head willingly.

“i get it. “Then let me tell you about the time you called me a damn barbarian.”

“Did I say that?!”

“okay. When was that… … .”

Ulan’s story began soon.

As he continued speaking, Laurea’s complexion changed in various colors. It changes to an earthy color, but then turns pale.

The night grew deeper with the sight of Laurea being weighed down by the karma she had accumulated in her past life.

And at noon the next day.

Players from Arsene and Eloden Academy who participated in a friendly mock match gathered together.

It was for an after-party.
