The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 18

(3)

7.

Delia, princess of the Principality of Arpen.

She is a mixed race, born between a human and a fairy. She was also known for being blessed with Mana, especially since her birth.

Moreover, he has a natural talent for magic.

Is that why? From her childhood, Delia grew up with many people’s expectations on her. She even goes into her big words about the future of the principality.

When she turned eight.

The principality invited a famous wizard and asked him to teach Delia. And the person I met at that time was that apricot-colored haired girl.

‘Difflin Chernio.’

Court wizard of the Ruben Empire.

She was one of the famous wizards on the continent at the time.

Above all, Diphlin, like Delia, is a person born as a mixed race of human and fairy. So Delia felt a special kinship with her, and devotedly served her Di Flynn as her teacher.

‘but… … .’

Not anymore.

Because I realized the truth.

Diphlin does not view his students as students, but only as experiments for his own research.

In the past, Diphlin had dozens of students in addition to Delia. However, at this time, most of her students who learned her magic became ruined.

This is because excessive magic training causes magical energy to run away and damage the heart.

And among them.

There was also Delia’s half-brother.

A cute little brother who always welcomed me with a bright smile. However, just a week after he became Difflin’s disciple, his younger brother became a wreck.

What was even more shocking was.

This was Deflin’s reaction upon hearing this news.

“Ah, the magic power ran out of control.”

A voice that is not shaken in the slightest.

She looked calm, as if she had expected something like this to happen.

“That’s too bad. Even though I’m human, I thought I’d succeed since I’m just like you. It seems clear that the qualities of a wizard come from fairies, not humans.”

I didn’t want to shed tears and be sad. Still, she thought she would go find her sister and offer at least a word of consolation.

But it didn’t happen.

Instead, he said this with a smiling face.

“Ordinary humans have limitations, so it’s not something you should worry about. Rather, how far did we go in the last class?”

The moment she saw him talking about class with a calm face, Delia left the place and ran away. It was because of her nausea.

And after that day.

Until the day Deflin left the duchy, Delia had never attended her classes.

‘But no way… … .’

I never thought we would meet again in a place like this.

Moreover, their status has changed from the past. He is the Dean of the Department of Magic at Arsene Academy. In other words, whether we like it or not, we have to see each other face to face in the future.

When I felt my head pounding.

Suddenly a huge shadow appeared.

Delia, free from her thoughts, quietly raised her head. After that, what appeared in my field of vision was a large young man with auburn hair tied back.

It was Ulan.

‘Exhibitionist.’

This is the image I had when I first saw him.

The sight of him walking around alone with his upper body removed was like seeing someone suffering from exhibitionism.

‘A man who insists that his super strength is magic.’

Next, what I felt while taking the test.

No matter how you look at it, Ulan is a warrior.

He is also a fairly high-level warrior. Delia couldn’t understand why someone like her would take the magic specialty test.

‘and… … .’

one more. There is something I just felt.

Delia’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as she looked at the wide, meadow-like terrain.

‘A fascinating person.’

Ulan immediately saw through Deflin’s true nature.

Just by simply looking into the eyes.

Moreover, he even received the Oath of Mana from Diphlin. Even though she knew he was her dean.

At the time I was looking at Ulan with curious eyes.

“Test begins!”

The assistant supervisor was heard shouting.

With a voice announcing the test, a huge magic golem soon appeared.

‘For now, let’s focus on the exam.’

Immediately after making a decision.

Delia immediately started looking for the magic core. No, I tried to do that. But at that moment, Ulan moved first.

Whoop! Whoa!

He suddenly threw the ax.

The ax, which was flying round and round, soon struck the magic golem between the eyes. Then the magic golem split exactly in half.

“… … ah?”

The accident stopped for a moment.

After a while, Delia managed to regain her senses and raised her voice towards Ulan.

“What are you doing now?”

“Okay. “I’m used to hunting demonic beasts.”

An unexpected answer came back out of the blue.

Soon Ulan spoke calmly.

“I’ve cut numerous demon beasts in half so far, but none of them had a core in the middle of the body.”

“… … .”

No, that’s a demonic beast and this is a golem.

Delia frowned. It was because her ignorant answer made her head pound just by hearing it.

Then the magic golem moves again.

Fortunately, it appears that the core was not destroyed. Delia sighed in relief and looked back at Ulan while he rebuilt her body.

‘I will find the location of the magic core, so you go and retrieve it.’

I was thinking of saying this.

But before I could even touch my lips.

“i get it. “Let’s do that.”

Ulan nodded first.

I haven’t said anything yet. Delia frowned her eyebrows. However, she could not help but widen her eyes at Ulan’s next words.

“You’re planning to find out the location of the magic core, right?”

“… … !”

The golden eyes wavered slightly.

A surprised expression. It was worth it. Because it felt like my thoughts were being read.

“How?”

“Because it had that kind of expression.”

Ulan responds as if it is no big deal.

He spent a long time with other warriors in his past life. As a result, he became accustomed to the changes in habits and facial expressions of other colleagues.

So it’s just a rough guess.

What is Delia trying to do?

“Anyway, I’ll buy time.”

Ulan rushed towards the magic golem that had completely regenerated. Then he started swinging his ax and fighting the golem.

Pow! Quack! puck!

At first glance, it seemed like a fierce battle, but the reality was different. Ulan’s complete dominance. He was literally buying time by dominating the fight.

After a while, the location of the magic core was revealed.

“Right, thigh.”

As soon as Delia’s voice stopped.

Pow! Sigh!

Ulan’s ax cut the area cleanly away. The magic core was soon in his hand. Ulan smiled in satisfaction.

“For now, I’ve recovered one.”

This was just the beginning.

Ulan and Delia showed off their fantastic chemistry and gradually recovered the magic core.

A speed that far exceeds the average.

The test takers exclaimed in blank admiration.

“Oh, it’s super fast?”

“Was the magic golem that weak?”

“That’s the same age as us?”

A look mixed with surprise, astonishment, envy, and jealousy.

Receiving various looks from one body to another, Ulan and Dilia were close to their final goal. Around the time I was dealing with the fourth magic golem.

Delia’s eyebrows fluttered.

‘What happened just now?’

For a moment, I felt a strange magical power.

She looked around the exam room just in case. Then, by chance, my eyes met with Deflin, who was on the podium.

“… … !”

Eyes burning with pure desire.

It was the look in the eyes of a researcher filled with strong obsession.

Delia saw this and had an intuition.

It was clear that something had been done.

And that moment.

Ugh! Quaaaang!

With a loud roar, the ground suddenly split in half.

What soon appeared was the fifth magic golem.

It was different from the golems I had faced so far.

The body swelled as if it would explode at any moment, the quiet eyes glowed like fire, and a huge amount of magical energy was released like steam.

‘A runaway magic golem!’

A magic golem is a doll that moves with magic.

If more magic power is injected than can normally be accommodated, there is a high probability of overload and runaway.

And here and now.

There is only one person who would do this.

‘Difflin… … !’

Delia bit her lips tightly.

I don’t know why or for what purpose this was done. However, what is more important now is to deal with that golem first.

So I quickly recited the incantation.

To build a protective spell.

But there was absolutely not enough time.

Geek! Quagga-ga-ga!

A fierce attack.

The terrifying force broke my composure for an instant. Her magic wasn’t complete, and Delia’s face turned pale.

‘No, it’s too late!’

Sensing the pain that would soon come.

She closed her eyes tightly.

Whoa! Quack!

A huge arm hit Delia. Just hearing the shock felt like part of my body had been crushed.

But surprisingly, there was no pain.

what? Delia gently opened her eyes. She then looked surprised. Because she had never thought about it when she discovered this.

“Are you okay?”

It was Ulan. Delia was embarrassed.

Why is this person here? Wasn’t he definitely fighting somewhere far away? A time when I was overwhelmed with confusion.

“It looked dangerous, so I came to rescue you.”

It seems like his expression was read again.

As the golden eyes trembled, Ulan’s voice was heard again.

“It’s okay as long as you’re safe.”

Lastly, the blunt tone.

Ulan’s eyes suddenly changed. Then, she grabbed hold of her magical golem’s arms with both hands and slammed it into the ground.

Quaaaaaaaaa!

A magic golem stuck upside down.

Soon a huge fist flew towards him.

Pow! Puk puk puk! Kwasik!

Fists raining down violently. I was wondering why he didn’t use the ax, but it seems he threw it away when he came to rescue Delia, who was in danger.

‘For me… … .’

I heard something like this a while ago. To a warrior, weapons are as important as life.

But you went so far as to throw down your weapons and come this way? why? Delia couldn’t shake off her confused feelings.

Then.

Fuuuuuuu!

The magic golem that had been thoroughly beaten by Ulan exploded with a loud sound. It meant that he had lost his magic core.

Debris soon scattered in all directions.

The test takers gasped and inhaled. Those who were looking at this scene with blank faces blinked their eyes quickly.

The venue suddenly became quiet.

After a while, various reactions followed.

“Ji, you just hit me with a fist, right?”

“I defeated the magic golem with my bare hands… … ?”

“It was also a runaway golem.”

“That barbarian is really a wizard?!”

While various reactions were pouring in.

A large hand appeared in Delia’s eyes.

Hands full of calluses. It was Ulan’s hand. Still slumped in her seat, she looked up at Ulan and pursed her lips.

“Why me?”

“Because you are an important person.”

Unlike the question that was barely uttered.

Ulan gave a refreshing answer. And the moment she heard this, numerous thoughts passed through Delia’s mind.

Someone important? What does that mean?

Did you meet Ulan for the first time today?

Do you know that I am the princess of a principality? Or a mercenary secretly hired by the principality to act as my bodyguard?

All kinds of speculations came to mind.

Delia shook her head vigorously.

You won’t find the answer if you think about it alone.

In that case, it would be better to ask directly.

“What does it mean?”

I suppressed my trembling and asked a question.

Then Ulan, who had been answering calmly all along, became speechless. A somewhat troubled expression. For what reason is he making that kind of expression?

The moment the golden eyes wavered.

“It might sound a little strange, but… … .”

Ulan got lucky.

He was speechless and scratched his head. As if thinking about what to say.

Then, he suddenly lowered his posture and faced Delia. She then spoke in a low whisper so that only she could hear.

“We will be together in the future.”

“… … “What?”

“I saved my life because I knew we would be together for 10 or even 30 years. “This is the whole reason.”

A completely unexpected answer.

Hearing these words, he made a blank expression again.

future? 30 years? Are you staying together?

‘That means… … .’

Delia’s cheeks turned slightly red.

Eyes that tremble as if in agitation. For some reason, I feel like my entire body’s senses have become more sensitive. So much so that I could feel my heartbeat, which I had never heard before.

While I was letting my imagination run wild alone, Ulan spoke in a calm tone.

“Don’t think too deeply. “It’s not something to worry about right now.”

No, how could I not think deeply when I suddenly heard this?!

Delia wanted to shout so loudly.

But I couldn’t. It was because of an uninvited guest who suddenly came between the two.

“Wow, that’s really amazing.”

A bouncy, cheerful voice.

A girl with apricot colored hair.

“I never thought I could defeat a golem with my bare hands.”

The culprit of this commotion is smiling obnoxiously.

It was Diphlin Chernio.
