The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 251

Chapter 56. Truth revealed (6)

12.

An interior filled with quiet air.

The group sitting around the round table in the center all looked at Laurea. That time when everyone’s eyes were on me.

She comforted her closed lips.

“First of all, I have something to confess to you.”

“Confession? What?”

“It’s about the abilities I have.”

After looking back at Sven, who reflexively asked, Laurea spoke carefully.

“In my eyes, I have a special ability. “It is a power called the projection eye.”

Eyes that penetrate the essence of existence itself.

Laurea can tell not only what a person is thinking, but also whether they are lying or not, just by making eye contact with them.

“The reason I’m revealing this first is to prove that what I’m going to say is the truth.”

After completing the explanation of the projection plan.

Laurea looked nervous.

According to past experience, right after I explained this, people’s reactions were mixed.

‘… … There were people who distrusted it, and there were also people who felt burdened or were wary.’

Although each person’s reaction was slightly different, they had one thing in common. The immediate point was that most of her tried to stay away from her.

That’s why I was afraid.

I was afraid that the attitudes of my colleagues, with whom I had shared life and death and ups and downs, would change overnight. But this was just a false rumor.

“There is no need to do that.”

“yes? What does that mean… … .”

“Because I also have similar abilities.”

Delia shook her head.

She added a brief explanation about the mind’s eye gained from the warrior’s trials.

Although it cannot penetrate the essence like the projection eye, it can determine authenticity. Meanwhile, Laurea’s eyes widened at this explanation.

This is because there was no lie in what Delia said.

“Well, that means… … .”

“It means that you are not the only one who can distinguish between truth and lies.”

Delia speaks calmly.

Laurea made a blank expression, but soon a small smile appeared on her lips. This is because I felt a strange sense of kinship along with his relief.

Meanwhile, Ibella, who first learned of this fact, clicked her tongue and muttered.

“Tch, somehow lying doesn’t work.”

“what? “If you had such amazing abilities, shouldn’t you have told me in advance?”

Perticia also asked a question.

Delia shook her head at this.

“It couldn’t have been done.”

“why?”

“You guys would definitely have taken advantage of this somehow and taken Ulan to yourself.”

Do you think I don’t know you?

Delia glared at the two girls with narrowed eyes. The two avoided eye contact as if they had hit the nail on the head with that harsh gaze.

“Anyway, it’s amazing. “I never would have thought that a power similar to the saint’s projection eye existed.”

“Well, it would be convenient to have that ability. At least you won’t get scammed.”

Sven, along with Ian, who already knew about the projection plan, shrugged his shoulders.

An atmosphere where everyone accepts it without a big deal. There was no lie in the image reflected in the projection.

Laurea burst out laughing.

‘It’s a good thing you followed Ulan’s words.’

The right answer was not to worry about things that didn’t happen. Laurea was put at ease by the consistent attitude of his colleagues.

So I kissed my lips again.

“If Delia also had that ability, there would be no need to hesitate to talk about it any longer. She could just get straight to the point.”

The confession about the projection plan is merely a foundation to prove that the secret to be revealed from now on is the truth.

What’s important is Ulan and Noah’s secret.

Among them, the first thing to talk about was definitely Ulan’s secret. Only by revealing this first will Noah’s secret be naturally connected.

“First of all, let’s start with Ulan’s secrets… … .”

Laurea, who looked back at Ulan, wanted to bring up the story she had heard from him. But at that moment, Ulan opened her mouth first.

“Let me speak for myself.”

“yes? “Gwae, are you okay?”

“Yes, because it’s my story.”

Ulan answered in a low tone.

Laurea looked at him for a moment and then nodded silently. He meant that he would respect Ulan’s will.

Afterwards, everyone’s eyes naturally turned to Ulan. In an atmosphere of intense tension, Ulan finally opened his mouth.

“I know the future.”

“… … what?”

“To be exact, it would be more correct to say that I came from the future, 30 years from now.”

Ignoring Sven’s bewildered reaction, Ulan revealed his secrets one by one.

The first story I brought out was about leaving the grassland and wandering the battlefield, meeting Ibella, who was working as a mercenary, and becoming comrades in arms.

Afterwards, he met Delia while chasing the abyss, and joined Ian and Laurea upon hearing that they were looking for warriors in the Holy Kingdom.

Furthermore, he met Sven and Perticia and all seven warriors gathered together. Ulan organized the memories of his past life according to the flow of time.

“This is my secret.”

Immediately after Ulan’s story ends.

The hall was filled with quiet silence.

The atmosphere is quite different from when I heard the explanation about the projection plan. At a time when there was an awkward silence, it was Ybella who spoke first.

“Uh, wait a minute. Well, so… … .”

She stutters her words.

However, I couldn’t continue speaking because I wasn’t able to finish organizing things in my head. At that time, Delia, who got the point first, intercepted the question.

“Are you saying that Ulan remembers his past life?”

“Yes.”

“And we are the warriors who fought against the abyss together in Ulan’s past life?”

Ulan nodded repeatedly in response to Perticia’s question. The two girls’ words helped the group understand the point more clearly.

Of course, I didn’t understand that.

“Okay, this is a bit…” … .”

“It’s a story you can’t easily believe.”

Ian sighed as if he was confused about the situation, and Sven also frowned.

It was a natural reaction.

It’s hard to believe that a past life even existed, so remembering it is bound to cause disbelief.

“But Ulan’s words are true.”

At that time, Delia muttered.

As a result of looking with my mind’s eye, there was no lie in anything he said. On the other hand, contrary to these results, Delia’s eyes slightly wavered.

Even though it turned out to be true, Ulan’s story was not simple enough to readily accept it.

“… … .”

The hall was once again enveloped in silence.

Ulan silently waited for the companions’ reaction, and Noah rolled his eyes as if he was anxious.

How long has it been like that?

Suddenly a voice was heard breaking the silence.

“I trust Ulan.”

A clear voice that rang out calmly.

It was Perticia. After receiving everyone’s attention, she continued speaking with her bright red eyes sparkling like jewels.

“When I went to the Fountain of Magic with Ulan, I recalled a memory that was quite similar to the past life I had just heard about.”

The imperial castle was engulfed in a fierce fire.

A memory of receiving help from Ulan at the moment of being attacked by terrible monsters. Through this, Perticia became aware of the existence of her past life.

Although it was only a part of it.

“So I think what Ulan said is true. Delia also said that.”

After speaking, Perticia smiled brightly.

A smile without any doubt. There was no lie in the answer reflected in the projection eye or the mind’s eye.

At that time, Ybella also added her opinion.

“That goes for me too. “The Ulan I know is not one to lie.”

Ulan is far from joking.

He was also serious in everything he did and never once made up a story or lied.

Ibella was confident of that based on the trust she had built with Ulan so far.

“I agree. “Since the saint completed the verification using the projection plan in the first place, the verification of the facts has already been completed.”

“Well, there’s nothing to be gained by making up lies like this.”

Ian and Sven had similar reactions.

The atmosphere is such that everything about Ulan’s story itself is accepted as truth. Then, this time, Delia suddenly spoke up.

“Then let me ask you one question.”

With somewhat serious eyes shining, Delia asked a question with a puzzled look on her face.

“Is it possible that the reason you entered Arsene Academy was to meet us?”

“If you are asking about the purpose, no.”

“Then what is the purpose?”

The purpose of Ulan’s admission to the academy.

This is the only one from the beginning until now.

“Getting a clue to the state of superhumanity.”

“Super, superhuman?”

“What is that again?”

“It is a state that exists beyond the master. “I witnessed it at the end of my last life.”

Ulan told a story about the state of superhumanity. After the short explanation was over, there were some people in the group who showed particularly strong reactions.

“A state beyond master… … .”

“That’s an incredible story.”

It was Ibella and Ian.

Like Ulan, the two people who walked the path of martial arts could not easily accept the fact that there was another level beyond the master.

“Anyway, I thought that if I reached the level of a superhuman, I would be able to defeat all the Lords of the Abyss this time.”

So I entered Arsene Academy.

When the purpose of admission was clearly revealed, Delia, who had been quietly listening to the story, opened her eyes wide.

“Now, wait! “Wait a moment.”

“what?”

“The fact that you thought you would be able to defeat the Lord of the Abyss this time means you couldn’t do it in your past life?”

Quite a sharp guess.

Ulan, on the other hand, shook his head.

“To be honest, I don’t know.”

“Why don’t you know?”

“Because I faced death before that.”

death. The group closed their mouths for a moment at the heavy words that weighed on their hearts. On the other hand, Ulan made eye contact with his companions with a calm expression.

Some time after that.

Delia pursed her tightly closed lips.

“… … “Let me hear it.”

“What do you mean?”

“I want to hear what happened after we joined Ulan’s previous life.”

The story after all seven warriors gather.

At this, Ulan’s eyes glowed faintly.

He blinked a few times as if recalling that time, then looked back at Delia.

“It will take quite a while.”

“It doesn’t matter, just tell me.”

Delia wasn’t the only one who wanted to hear the story. She said that Bella and Perticia also strode to her side, and Ian and Sven also showed interest.

“i get it. “I’ll tell you.”

So we started talking right away.

After all seven warriors gathered together, they learned of the existence of the Lord of the Abyss and spent the days struggling fiercely to fight against him.

The story that started in the morning came to an end only after the sun rose in the sky.

A battle with the giant king Largtan.

A story about the end of a past life.

As the tense situation at the time flowed out of Ulan’s lips, each member of the group had a nervous look on their faces and urged them to answer.

“Well, so what happened?”

“Perhaps everyone was wiped out there…” … ?”

“no.”

“then? “Did you escape?”

“I guess so.”

Another ambiguous answer came back.

As if he didn’t know what would happen next.

Then Ibella seemed to understand what this meant and asked back urgently.

“Now, wait! Could it be Ulan… … .”

“Someone had to stay anyway.”

Even before Ibella finished speaking, Ulan confessed the truth in a calm tone.

The giant king was not the only enemy left at that time.

With the Frost Demon Dragon and even the Immortal Lord alive and well, the warriors could not be lost.

“So I stayed.”

To buy everyone time to escape.

Afterwards, Ulan fought with all his might and finally defeated Largtan. However, he was not safe either and eventually met his end.

“But not everything is over.”

At the moment when he recognized death and looked back on his life, Ulan woke up again in the grassland of 30 years ago with an unidentified voice.

“This is all I remember.”

After the long story is over.

The atmosphere was once again enveloped in silence.

When I thought about the final moments he spoke of, I was overwhelmed without realizing it. At that time, he felt a strange sense of pressure pressing on his shoulders.

Suddenly Ulan lowered his head.

“… … sorry.”

“Uh, Ulan?”

“Originally I should have said it a little earlier, but I couldn’t. So I want to apologize to all of you for this.”

“It’s not Ulan’s fault! I am… … .”

It was Laurea who said that she needed to prepare her mind and suggested delaying the reveal of the secret until all the heroes were gathered.

So, it is not for Ulan to apologize for confessing the secret late.

“No, it’s my fault. “Anyway, what I’ve kept secret until now doesn’t change.”

On the other hand, Ulan did not change his opinion and continued to apologize. Then this time, three girls except Laurea spoke to me.

“are you okay. “This is nothing to apologize for.”

“I’m satisfied with just being able to honestly tell a story that’s difficult to bring up.”

“that’s right. So lift her head up.”

I was surprised, but not angry.

The three said that in unison.

“But I’m still a little confused.”

“Oh, of course, that doesn’t mean I don’t believe Ulan’s story. “It’s just hard to accept it right away, so it takes some time.”

Time to accept the truth.

The other party members also nodded in agreement with Delia and Ibella’s words.

It turned out that Ulan’s words were true, but accepting them was a different matter.

“I guess so. I understand.”

Ulan also agreed to this.

If he were in the opposite situation, he would have reacted similarly. That’s when the story about Ulan’s secret comes to an end.

“by the way.”

Suddenly, Sven raised his hand.

As if there was something puzzling.

“From what I’ve heard so far, there’s one thing I’m curious about. Can I ask you something?”

“Of course. what?”

“Then what is this guy?”

The direction Sven’s finger pointed.

There was Noah with his eyes wide open. Sven continued as she spoke, staring at her as she blinked her big eyes.

“That guy was never mentioned in the story I just heard.”

“that… … .”

That’s what I heard and saw.

The group realized this belatedly and one by one turned their gaze from Ulan to Noah.

It has finally come.

Noah thought this to himself and bit his lip while facing everyone’s gaze. However, the hesitation did not last long.

“Now it’s my turn.”

If it’s a resolution, I’ve already finished it.

Therefore, Noah took a deep breath and slowly kissed his lips. To reveal his secret to everyone.
