The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 248

Chapter 56. Truth revealed (4)

7.

A bar with a noisy atmosphere.

However, there were places where the cold wind blew, which did not match the atmosphere. It was Ulan’s group’s table in the corner.

“… … Explain.”

Delia’s eyes narrowed.

She asked for the full story with her eyes becoming as heavy as her low voice.

“Why are you here?”

Noah swallowed his dry saliva at the strange sense of intimidation felt in his eyes and voice. Lau Lea, on the other hand, responded with her calm face.

“As you can see, the three of us are just gathering together to sort out the story?”

“You can do that at the hotel too!”

“that’s right! “Why did you have to go outside?”

“Well, the weather is nice, but it’s a waste to stay stuck in the hotel. “I was also a little thirsty.”

Laurea smiles brightly as she looks at Ibella and Perticia asking questions. Immediately she waved her hand and continued her words.

“Anyway, we haven’t finished talking yet, so please go back quickly. “You promised to give it a day, right?”

“But that only goes so far… … !”

It just gave me time to organize the story.

I didn’t give it to you to go out and have a private time like this. Ibella’s strong protest was met with Laurea’s response again.

“So, I told you so, right? “Even though the location has changed, the purpose is the same.”

A truly shameless attitude.

Ibella and Delia burst into laughter as if they were shocked. At the same time, he gazed at Laurea with harsh, oppressive eyes.

Of course, the seeds didn’t work either.

“what are you doing? “Aren’t you going?”

The three girls exchanged glances as Laurea continued to send the three away.

After a while, the three of them went to a table a little away from Ulan and the others and sat down. Lau Lea narrowed his eyes at this sight.

“What are you doing now… … .”

“Just, we want to drink something too.”

“Because we’ve come this far!”

“Maybe it’s because I came running, but I’m a little thirsty.”

We only exchanged glances, but the answer flowed smoothly as if we had agreed in advance.

Afterwards, the three of them each looked at this table with their eyes flashing with wariness.

Was this situation annoying?

Laurea frowned.

After thinking about it for a while, she smiled as if she came up with a clever idea to overcome the situation.

“Noah.”

“yes?”

“You said last time that you helped me in this subjugation, so you would repay me, right?”

“I did, but… … . why?”

When Noah asked again, feeling uneasy for some reason, Laurea smiled brightly and answered.

“Then cooperate with me.”

“Well, if it’s cooperation… … ?”

“Close your eyes and count from one to ten, then create a really thick fog.”

Among the spells used by Noah, there is a method that brings about a thick fog.

Meanwhile, as Laurea finished speaking, Noah guessed what her purpose was. So she sighed and answered.

“Ha, I know what you’re trying to do, but it’s useless. As Laurea knows, Delia can observe the flow of magical energy.”

So, I will detect the effect and prepare for it before the technique is even completed. Delia was watching this direction at this very moment.

However, Laurea remained steadfast.

“are you okay. “I will stop it.”

“yes? What is that… … .”

“So stop talking nonsense and get ready quickly.”

A confident smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

Noah was skeptical when he saw that, but he secretly took out the amulet. She had something she said in the past, so she plans to keep it.

“Close your eyes, too.”

Until I tell it to pop again.

At her request, Ulan did as she was told and closed his eyes. In response, Laurea whispered to her Noah to begin, then closed her eyes and clasped her hands together.

As if trying to pray.

After completing all preparations.

Noah prepared the technique and slowly counted the numbers in his head. Finally, when the count reached nine, a sudden strange event struck the bar.

Flash! Paaaaaa!

A pure white light suddenly surged up. It was the divine light activated by Laurea’s prayer.

“Woah!”

“Ouch! Whoa, the eyes… … !”

“what? what’s the matter?!”

The guests who couldn’t close their eyes screamed at the sudden explosion of light.

This is the same for Delia and her group.

The moment I was taken aback by the unexpected situation, this time the technique Noah had been preparing was activated.

Saaaaa!

A hazy fog engulfed the intestines.

The thick fog that appeared after the sudden explosion of light was enough to take away everyone’s vision, and the commotion continued thereafter.

Some time after that.

The fog that enveloped all directions quickly disappeared. It was thanks to Delia, who managed to regain her composure, quickly clearing her fog.

“Ugh, my eyes hurt.”

“What the hell is going on?”

Perticia and Ibella are crying.

Unlike the two panicked girls, Delia, who was relatively calm, quickly grasped the current situation.

‘I knew Noah’s magic.’

Just by seeing the flow and arrangement of magic power, Delia realized that Noah’s technique was to create fog.

‘So I prepared a nullification spell… … .’

I certainly did not expect that Laurea would pray and use the divine light.

No matter how much he was loved by Mana, he couldn’t figure out the flow of divine power.

“What a foolish, useless effort… … .”

Delia, who had been played by Laurea, frowned as if she was in a bad mood. But she couldn’t even continue her words.

Instead, his eyes widened.

“… … !”

Ulan and Laurea are gone.

The only thing left at the table where the three of them were was Noah, who was still sitting with his eyes closed.

Ibella and Perticia, who realized this too late, became stiff.

I got hit! All three wrinkled their faces at the same time.

“Laurea!”

A voice full of strong anger.

The shouts that escaped the lips of the three girls resounded loudly throughout the hall.

8.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Laurea successfully left the bar with Ulan. It was thanks to the prayers used without warning, the light of divinity and the fog of Noah.

However, it is still too early to be reassured.

So Laurea took out holy water and poured it on Ulan and herself.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m carving a sacred spell.”

Then he stretched out his pure white finger and drew a sacred pattern. In this way, we can prevent the interference of supernatural abilities other than divine power.

This means that the risk of being caught by Delia’s tracking magic and Perticia’s spirits is reduced.

“Phew, I should have done this a long time ago.”

When I think back, I was too complacent.

But it wasn’t just losses.

“Still, I have to thank the three of you. “Thanks to you, we’re finally alone together.”

The situation left Ulan alone.

Laurea laughed bitterly.

It was a somewhat satisfying smile. On the other hand, Ulan asked back with a puzzled look on his face.

“But wouldn’t it be easier to sort out the story if you were with Noah?”

“are you okay. “The two of us are enough.”

Laurea gave a rough answer.

Rather, this situation was exactly what she had hoped for. So Laurea grabbed Ulan’s hand and pulled him away.

“Okay then, let’s go.”

“Where?”

“You don’t have enough alcohol to end it like this, right?”

It means to drink more.

Since there was no reason to refuse, Ulan nodded willingly. Since the sun was high in the sky, there was quite a bit of time left to wrap up the story.

How long has it been like that?

After wandering through the alley, the two purchased fruit wine at another bar and then sat down on the steps of a deserted alley and tipped their bottles.

“Whoa! “This reminds me of the old days.”

“You mean when you were a candidate for sainthood?”

“Yes, shortly after coming to the Holy Kingdom. “I often came to a quiet place like this.”

When I got tired of the repetitive routine of praying every day, I would always run away and come to the alley.

As she was smiling as if recalling memories, Laurea asked back as if she had realized something.

“Oh, Ulan already knows this story?”

“I’ve heard it a few times.”

Ulan nods his head as if saying yes.

Laurea pouted. He then spoke with a sigh.

“… … “For some reason, I feel dizzy.”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to tell Ulan my story, but he already knows everything. “It’s not fun.”

Laurea muttered grumpily.

Then he glanced at Ulan.

“To begin with, whenever you talk to me, you often mention me from my past life. “The me now is different from the me in Ulan’s memories?”

“is it?”

“of course! Now I don’t despise you and call you a barbarian. And our relationship isn’t that bad right now.”

That’s right.

In my last life, it took a long time for us to become friends, but this time, we became friends quite early.

“So, forget about me from my past life.”

“No, you can’t do that.”

“what? why?”

“Because it’s a precious memory to me.”

Ulan shook his head resolutely.

The moments I spent with my colleagues in my past life are like the support that supports Ulan in the present.

Therefore, regardless of whether they are good or bad memories, they are all precious memories. Laurea thought for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“good. “Then let’s do it this way.”

“how?”

“Tell me first what Ulan knows about me. “Then I’ll leave that out.”

It’s not a bad suggestion.

Ulan nodded. He then opened his mouth, recalling what had happened with Lau Lea.

“i get it. Don’t do that. Well, first of all, they say that I am a barbarian who wouldn’t mind drinking it… … .”

“Well, leave out that story!”

Laurea, embarrassed, hurriedly stretched out her hand and covered Ulan’s mouth. After a while, the two each tipped their bottles and had a leisurely conversation.

A story I had never heard in my past life.

Is that why? Somehow, I felt like I learned more about Laurea. Ulan smiled silently because she wasn’t in a bad mood.

9.

Some time after that.

Time passed in an instant.

The street has suddenly become dark.

I couldn’t achieve my original goal at all because I was drinking and chatting around the city.

“I couldn’t finish the story in the end.”

Ulan mutters softly.

Then Laurea tapped his shoulder as if to tell him not to worry.

“are you okay. “Actually, I’ve already sorted out how to talk about it a long time ago.”

“what? Then why… … .”

“Of course I want to play. “If not today, when will a day like this come again?”

Laurea smiles brightly.

She answered with a red face, as if she was drunk. Then she licked her lips, as if she felt a little disappointed.

“I thought I had a lot of fun, but I’m still a little disappointed. “I’m thinking of breaking up with you soon.”

After revealing the truth to everyone tomorrow, Laurea returns to the Holy Kingdom with the Holy Knights.

Then we won’t be able to meet again for a while.

She looked depressed as she realized the reality she had been trying to forget. At that time, she was sighing in silence as she felt her heart becoming suffocated.

“Take it.”

Suddenly Ulan stretched out his hand.

Finally, what was placed in my open palm was a pair of earrings that sparkled in the moonlight. Laurea, who was looking at this in silence, asked back in confusion.

“uh? what’s this?”

“It’s a gift.”

“gift… … ?”

“Because I’ve received a lot of help so far.”

A blunt answer scattered in the air.

At the same time, Laurea widened her eyes as if realizing the reality. After a while, she asked back in a slightly trembling voice.

“Can I really take it?”

“Of course.”

Thanks to Laurea’s help in the past, Ulan was finally able to learn Noah’s secret.

Also, without her this time, the subjugation of Astevan would have been impossible. Therefore, Ulan nodded his head with gratitude.

“I bought it for you. “Accept it.”

The round bright yellow eyes shook once. Laurea suddenly took her earrings and wiggled her fingers.

“Well, actually, this is my first time receiving something like this, so I don’t know what to say… … .”

She was muttering like gibberish and paused for a moment. She then took a deep breath and looked at her uhlan. And she smiled broadly.

“Thank you, Ulan. “I’m really happy.”

“Then that’s a good thing.”

Ulan also grinned.

Afterwards, Laurea immediately hung the earrings on both ear lobes. Then he brushed his hair once and asked again.

“how is it? matches well?”

“I think so.”

“Hmph, it’s a lame answer, but I’ll forgive you.”

Because I feel incredibly good right now.

Laurea smiled brightly.

Holding a bottle of alcohol in one hand and Ulan’s arm with the other.

Afterwards, around the time the conversation came to an end.

The lights that softly illuminated the street went out one by one. Even those who were rarely seen had disappeared completely for a long time.

It was already getting close to midnight.

Ulan cooed with his tightly closed lips.

“I guess I should go back soon.”

Before I knew it, I had finished drinking.

Also, if I had sorted out what I wanted to talk about tomorrow, there was no need to stay here anymore.

However, Laurea had different thoughts.

“Not yet.”

“what?”

“I drank less.”

After answering, she shook the bottle.

A clanging sound is heard soon after.

It seemed like there were only a few sips left, but Laurea didn’t care and continued talking.

“And for some reason I feel a little dizzy. So, let’s rest a little longer and then let’s go. huh?”

“Hmm, but there’s a place to rest… … .”

“There just happened to be an empty seat over there.”

The place she pointed to was a bench placed in the corner of the square. However, it was a bit narrow for two people to sit. Ulan was much larger than an ordinary person.

At that time, Laurea quickly sat down on the bench.

He then looked up at Ulan and asked.

“Isn’t it difficult for Ulan?”

“Is it difficult?”

“Well, I just woke up this morning and I walked quite a bit. “I thought you might be tired.”

I wasn’t tired at all.

Ulan’s physical strength was good enough to be said to be by far the best among all warriors. Also, thanks to the imprint of a hero, his condition was close to optimal.

“So, lie down and rest for a while.”

“You lie down, where are you?”

“here.”

Laurea answered briefly.

She patted her pale white thigh. When Ulan was closing her mouth at her unexpected words, Laurea burst out laughing.

“Lie down comfortably.”

“… … .”

On the other hand, Ulan had a subtle face.

As if hesitating about how to deal with it. She closed her mouth for a moment and was contemplating her answer when Lau Lea spoke to her again in a whisper.

“… … no?”

Coat half-down.

Dressed more disheveled than usual.

Blinking her somewhat moist eyes, she silently looked up at Ulan.

With an expression that is difficult to refuse.
