The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 203

(2)

3.

Professor Melt Wirathim.

Wearing shaggy gray hair and black horn-rimmed glasses, he had the appearance of a scholar.

“yes! Next, let me explain why the Kingdom of Endrak exerted great influence over the neutral borderlands… … .”

And in fact, he continued his passionate explanation like a scholar with a keen interest in learning. However, the problem was that the majority of students did not want this.

Yawns coming from all over the place.

Noah, who was watching this scene, burst into laughter without realizing it.

‘This really feels like a school trip.’

In the past, when I lived as Yoo Min-ah.

She went on a field trip when she was in her second year of middle school. Memories of the last school trip she enjoyed before the bullying started.

‘It was like this back then too.’

I remember touring various historical sites and listening to explanations that I wasn’t particularly interested in.

As I was pondering over the nostalgic memories that suddenly came to mind, Professor Melt, who was in the middle of giving a detailed explanation, suddenly cleared his throat.

“Hmm! “The explanation ends here.”

As if I had finally figured out the situation.

Professor Melt, who repeatedly cleared his throat as if embarrassed, stopped his explanation and got to the point.

“There are probably many people who have doubts about the schedule for this exchange. “It would take over a week by carriage just to reach our destination.”

The question that Ibella raised earlier.

Professor Melt, who mentioned this, turned around.

Then, he walked towards the huge door with great strides and continued speaking.

“But this time it’s different. That’s because we have completed a masterpiece of conversion that can be called the essence of magic engineering.”

After walking for a while, he stopped.

Soon, with a strangely confident smile, he opened the huge door wide and shouted.

“I am introducing. “This is a horse-powered train, the next generation of transportation created by Endrak!”

Immediately after his shouting stopped.

A horse-powered train appeared before the students’ eyes. At the same time, the eyes of all students except Noah widened.

“… … !”

It was a huge chunk of iron.

It looks as if large carriages were stretched out and then connected one after another. When attention was taken by the unique appearance,

Professor Melt’s explanation began.

“The magic power train uses fully charged artificial magic stones as a power source and travels along the magic track to its destination.”

As a result, a distance that would have taken more than a week by carriage could be reduced to one day. This was the reason why the school trip schedule was 8 nights and 9 days.

And one more thing.

There was a reason why time was shortened.

“Last year alone, we had to go around dozens of mountains, but now that we have made a track through all the mountains, there is no need to do that at all.”

In addition, Professor Melt said that there is no need to worry about safety since the final trial run was completed early this year.

But few students paid attention to what he said. This was because most of them had their eyes fixed on the horsepower-powered train.

“Wow, it looks really heavy?”

“This thing really moves?”

Exclamations bursting out here and there.

Each student looked at the train with a skeptical look on their faces. Except for Noah, Ulan and his group had a similar reaction to the other students.

“It’s departure time soon, so everyone please board the train. “I will explain in detail as I go.”

With Professor Melt’s words, the students boarded the train without worrying about who was first.

Some time after that.

As the train slowly began to move, cheers of surprise erupted here and there.

“Wow, it really moves!”

“It’s faster than a carriage, I’m looking forward to it!”

Ibella and Perticia also looked at the scenery outside the window with excited faces. The train carrying the students headed along the tracks to its destination.

Towards ‘Flute’, a large city on the outskirts of the Kingdom of Endrak and where Flume Academy is located.

4.

Late at night, past midnight.

There was someone who visited a deserted basement.

A blonde middle-aged man. It was Count Demuel Ron Dermore, the owner of the mansion.

“master.”

As soon as he entered the basement, he bowed his head towards the clay doll that appeared in front of him. Then he continued speaking in a polite tone.

“Have you achieved your goal?”

As soon as Demuel finished speaking.

The clay doll’s eyes turned red.

The alter ego of Lacus, the Lord of the Abyss.

The man with the nickname Crying Eyes looked down at Demuel and opened his mouth.

“Yes, I left a piece behind.”

“That means… … .”

“You can say it’s half a success.”

Lacus smiled contentedly.

About two days ago, Demuel visited the imperial castle with Lacus’s clone. He had something to report to the Dauphin Chartrand.

And one more thing.

There was a purpose. According to Lacus’s wishes, Chartrand is to become an apostle.

“Now all we have to do is find out what the crown prince truly desires.”

If this is successful, Lacus’ plan will proceed very quickly.

If you can treat the emperor of an empire like a puppet, there will be a lot of things you can do.

Lacus smiled contentedly.

That’s when the conversation came to an end.

Wow! Crash!

Suddenly something strange happened.

The skinny corpse in the corner of the basement wriggled awake. Soon, a strange voice was heard through the darkness.

【Howling eyes of the abyss.】

Despite the unexpected phenomenon, Demuel and Lacus were not particularly embarrassed.

As if this situation was familiar.

Meanwhile, the skinny corpse looked at the two with its purple eyes flashing. Afterwards, he continued speaking in an unpleasant voice.

【The King has spoken.】

His identity is a member of the immortal family.

The highest ranking monarch, one of the subordinates under the Immortal Lord. It is a being that has the ability to possess a corpse imbued with the magic of the abyss.

【Look clearly with those bright eyes.】

After finishing speaking, the family member opened his mouth wide.

Soon, thick purple smoke flowed out, creating an unidentifiable character in the air.

And that moment.

Lacus opened his eyes wide.

“… … !”

Eyes that flicker violently like candle flames.

This is a reaction as if one had seen something shocking.

After a while, the purple smoke that was decorating the air quickly disappeared. The immortal family also closed its wide-open mouth.

【This is the end of the message. If future cooperation is needed, please contact us through worshipers.】

After completing all business.

Gray smoke slowly escaped from Gwonsok’s body. Then his body fell back down and rolled around on the floor. As if he was asking when he moved.

A basement filled with desolate silence.

Demuel, who had kept his mouth shut ever since the immortal family appeared, immediately looked at Lacus’s gaze and asked in a cautious tone.

“Is something wrong?”

“They say the Ghost Knights were attacked.”

“… … yes?”

Demuel’s eyes widened.

It was a natural reaction.

Because the Ghost Knights were fine until just last week. Just as I was panicking at the sudden news, Lacus narrowed his eyes.

“How can that be? “The spirit of the abyss probably doesn’t have that much power yet.”

Eyes shaking in confusion.

At that time, a guess suddenly occurred to me.

One of the variables and the biggest obstacle to Lacus’ plan.

“Could it be that he is Rudric’s successor?”

Barbarians, Ulaanbaatar.

When Lacus mentioned him and his fierce eyes flashed, a retort suddenly came in.

“yes? But according to what you said earlier, didn’t you say that ordinary weapons don’t work against the Ghost Knights?”

“okay. If the future goes as planned, he will never be able to defeat the Ghost Knights.”

Only then was it normal.

But how on earth did they defeat the Phantom Knights? Lacus’ eyes were filled with doubt.

After that, there was a bit of silence.

He opened his mouth again.

“… … Demuel.”

“Yes, master.”

“Guide me to the fountain of magic. “I need to find out why the ghosts suffered.”

Demuel silently lowered his head.

At the moment, Arsene Academy is empty due to a school trip. Now was the perfect time to investigate what had happened.

“Tell additional worshipers.”

“What should I say?”

“Cooperate with the immortal family and drop the sixth star as soon as possible.”

What happened to the Ghost Knights at this point is a clear variable that Lacus could not have predicted.

And variables are called variables.

Accordingly, in order to prevent the plan from going astray any further, Lacus decided to quickly achieve the goal that had been delayed.

The sixth star who will later awaken as a warrior.

It was the annihilation of Sven Isaac.

5.

A train speeding through the darkness of the night.

The interior of Endrak’s proud, horsepower-powered train was even more surprising than the exterior.

Just looking at the interior space, there was enough room to accommodate over 200 people.

Is that all there is?

There was a separate sleeping room and a bathroom for simple washing. It was a scale that fits well with the term “revolution in transportation.”

However, the surprise did not last long.

I don’t know if it was because it was late at night or because we left early in the morning, but most of the students fell asleep from exhaustion.

However, not everyone was like that.

Occasionally, there were students who were awake, and Ibella Elead was one of them.

“Haaam.”

After letting out a short yawn.

She carefully looked at the school trip itinerary, relying on the soft light emitted from the magic lamp.

Then he frowned.

‘Okay, I heard about it before, but… … .’

This schedule was quite tight.

Excluding the scheduled arrival date, most of the schedule is full of things such as touring magic engineering facilities or interacting with Plume Academy.

Even after washing my eyes, I couldn’t find any relief.

‘Still, there is hope.’

The last day of the school trip.

This was because we were given about half a day of free time in the afternoon the day before departure. Ybella saw this and her turquoise eyes shone sharply.

‘This is the only opportunity.’

She has only one purpose.

Spending time alone with Ulan.

I had a strong desire to go on a date with them like I did last time in the capital, but this time there was a much more important reason than that.

‘… … Delia Arpen.’

Not long ago, she said this.

Last summer vacation, I confessed to Ulan that I liked him and expressed my honest feelings.

Even though I said I didn’t hear an answer, it still couldn’t stop me from feeling nervous.

‘I also want to convey my feelings.’

Ibella’s eyes brightened resolutely.

I had already confirmed what my feelings toward him were. It’s just that he hasn’t confessed until now because he’s afraid of getting a rejection back.

But now things are different.

Because I couldn’t afford to hesitate any longer.

So, during this school trip, Ibella planned to have a place with Ulan to confess her honest feelings.

‘Fortunately, the situation is in my favor.’

This school trip takes place in groups.

And Ibella was in the same group as Ulan. In other words, excluding sleeping time, they had a lot of time to spend together all day long.

‘I have to ask Noah and Sylphy for help.’

The two girls are also in the same group as Ibella.

And both of them are trustworthy friends who have no feelings for Ulan. This was especially true for Noah because he even took the Mana Oath.

Afterwards, if she can defeat Delia and Perticia with their cooperation, her plan will be successful.

‘Yes, good. Let’s do it this way.’

The goal of this school trip has been decided.

After inserting the schedule, Ibella immediately got up from her seat. He tried to sit for a long time because his body ached.

Then, suddenly, the door to the bathroom burst open. The one who later appeared was a girl with gray hair, Sirpy Rudric.

“… … !”

She suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Then he shouted as if he was surprised.

“Hey, Ibella?!”

“huh? “Why are you so surprised?”

“No, it suddenly appeared… … .”

She seemed embarrassed and gave an answer.

Sirpi, who was constantly rolling her eyes, quickly found another topic of conversation.

“Oh, if you want to wash up, now is your chance. “Maybe because everyone was sleeping, the bathroom was empty.”

“really? “Then I’ll have to wash up quickly.”

It was already an uncomfortable car.

Ibella walked forward as if everything was going well. A moment later, as the door to her bathroom closed, Sirpi let out her long-held sigh.

“Haaa.”

I feel like the tension has been relieved.

Leaning back against the wall, she remembered why she couldn’t help but be embarrassed when she saw Ibella.

‘… … I never thought Ibella was Count Deorg’s secret daughter.’

A fact I found out by chance during a conversation.

Of course, Ibella seemed unaware of what had happened between Sirpi and the Count, but she couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

‘So on this school trip, let’s stay quietly and alone as much as possible and not stand out.’

Don’t just scratch and make a mess.

This was the goal of the school trip set by Sirpi.

Meanwhile, when she was sighing repeatedly out of frustration, there were eyes watching her.

These were Noah’s eyes.

‘Sirpi Ludrik.’

Kazan Rudrik’s blood relative.

A person presumed to be the successor to the Desert Church.

‘I never thought I’d be in the same group as him.’

This is an opportunity. A chance to approach Sirpi and dig up the information she has. Noah realized this and her eyes sparkled like stars.

‘So the goal of this trip is… … .’

Let’s somehow become friends with Sirpi Rudrik and find out information about Kazan Rudrik.

Noah made that promise.

Meanwhile, the three were not the only ones setting goals for the school trip. Ulan, too, looked out her window with bright, serious eyes.

“I’m hungry.”

A serious voice soon came out.

He scratched his stomach and mumbled.

“When I arrive, I have to go to the restaurant first.”

As we were thinking about the goals we had set, the train continued to run through the darkness without stopping.

Some time after that.

After a long night, the morning dawned.
