The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 256

Chapter 57 Tail after tail (4)

5.

Meanwhile, at that time.

After parting ways with Ulan’s group, Perticia arrived at the lodgings provided on the west side of the academy.

Now it’s a place that feels like home.

On the other hand, Perticia’s expression did not look comfortable at all. Rather, a strange tension bloomed on her face, which was as hard as a stone.

“… … .”

There is only one reason.

It was because of the brown-haired female knight sitting on the sofa directly across from me.

Limer Yen Lapidis.

One of the five swords of the empire and a being in charge of protecting Perticia. It was her character who brought her here, having just returned to her academy.

“Uh, over there… … .”

After arriving at the lodgings, seeing Rimmer maintaining silence, Perticia pursed her lips to break the awkward atmosphere.

However, Rimmer spoke a little faster.

“… … Princess.”

“Yes, four?”

“Do you know how worried I was?”

A voice that flows out calmly.

On the other hand, his eyes were not as calm. Eyes burning brightly like angry flames. Perticia swallowed her dry saliva without realizing it.

And that moment.

A loud roar of anger erupted.

“Why on earth did you leave the group on your own?! “If I had just been with the other cadets, I wouldn’t have been so worried!”

“Hey, calm down first.”

Perticia hurriedly threw up her hand as her voice became increasingly more intense. Afterwards, while Li Mer was silent for a moment, she explained the situation step by step.

“First of all, to answer Sir Lapidis’ question, I thought it was much safer to do so at the time. So I did that.”

“No, how safe is that!”

Rimmer retorted in an absurd tone.

It was a natural reaction.

Because Perticia chose not to flee, but to fight against the monster. However, she also had something to say to Perticia.

“That’s because there were Ulan.”

Ulan Bator.

A monster who reached the level of master at the age of seventeen and defeated two of the five swords of the empire.

Perticia, who mentioned his existence, refuted by citing Limer’s past words.

“Lord Lapidis was like that too, right? “If something dangerous happens, stay with Ulan.”

“that… … !”

I was speechless for a moment.

Because what I said was true.

However, this was something that I had heard from the Marquis of Gorpant that Ulan had signed a contract with the empire, so I thought it would be an insurance policy.

‘But no way… … .’

I never expected that Ulan, who had signed a contract to cooperate with the empire, would voluntarily jump into the battlefield of a foreign country.

Therefore, Rimmer, who was at a loss for words for a moment, soon composed his expression and shouted.

“But you should have looked at the situation carefully and decided!”

“I made a good decision after looking at it carefully. “Not only was Ulan by my side, but I also had Delia, Ibella, and Noah.”

Names flowing out one after another.

It’s a name everyone knows. From the moment Limer received his escort mission, he had become familiar with all the people by Perticia’s side.

‘Dilia Arpen.’

The fifth princess of the Principality of Arpen.

He is the second most notable figure in the Academy after Ulan, and is well-known as a genius wizard loved by Mana.

Additionally, it was recently confirmed that he had reached the level of a great wizard, and he was one of the figures the empire was watching with interest.

‘Ibella Eleaad.’

A girl with exceptional talent for the sword.

She was only a low-level engineer when she entered school, but became an expert in less than a year.

This is an incredible achievement that even Rimmer, the first woman to become a Master, could not achieve. Therefore, she is also receiving attention from the empire.

‘Noah Darshen.’

A barbarian girl who entered school with Ulan.

Although he is not as great as the ones mentioned above, he is said to have played against Delia in a mock selection match held in the past and ended up in a draw.

Also, according to Marquis Gorfant, he was very active in the fountain of magic when the abyss was opened.

All three are strong men with great reputations.

Since there are also Ulans here, they probably decided that it would be safer to evacuate with Ulans than with other students.

‘Of course I understand, but… … .’

Still, it was a hasty choice.

Because as soon as the news came that Perticia had gone to confront the monster, the castle of the Ruben Empire was literally turned upside down.

At this, Rimmer sighed.

Perticia suddenly had a triumphant expression on her face. She must have decided that she was speechless, seeing as Rimer’s rebuttal did not come back.

“Hmm! And if you look at the result, you came back safely anyway. So there’s really no problem, right?”

“… … .”

“Oh, isn’t it?”

Seeing Perticia making an awkward expression, Rimmer burst out laughing as if she was shocked.

“Let me tell you what happened so far.”

She explained what happened in the imperial castle immediately after the news of Perticia was delivered.

Chartrand was furious when he heard about the situation.

An attempt to send knights and soldiers to the eastern jungle to rescue Perticia, etc.

“If the call from Plum Academy had arrived even a little late, Marquis Gorfant and I would have been dispatched to the eastern jungle.”

The major events that had occurred so far were told in Rimer’s calm voice. Afterwards, she concluded her story with her comments.

“Therefore, we must see His Majesty as soon as possible and reassure him.”

“… … “Yes, I guess so.”

Perticia nodded with a darkened face.

As if I had finally realized how serious the situation had become.

After a while, while she was quietly licking her lips, an idea suddenly occurred to her, and she spoke in a somewhat cautious tone.

“Hey, Sir Lapidis.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Perhaps your brother won’t invite me to the imperial castle at all?”

Narrow, trembling eyes.

The moment he encountered this, Rimmer realized what Perticia was worried about.

Perhaps he was concerned that the permission to attend the academy would be revoked and that he would be imprisoned in the imperial castle again.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know.”

But Rimmer could not answer.

That’s for her master, Chartrand, to decide, not Rimmer.

“… … okay.”

The expression turns gloomy.

Rimmer, on the other hand, turned around with an expressionless face. As if I had finished what I wanted to say and there was no reason to stay here anymore.

“That’s all I have to say. “You must be tired from the long journey, so please rest comfortably.”

Rimer lowered his head and turned toward the hallway. Afterwards, at the sound of the door closing, a crack appeared on his expressionless face.

“Whoa.”

Rimmer sighs in confusion.

This is because Perticia’s depressed expression made me feel some kind of guilt.

‘It’s probably just as the princess guessed.’

If she returns to the imperial castle this time, Perticia will not be able to return to the academy.

This is because Chartrand’s obsession with Perticia is so strong. Thinking of this, Rimmer frowned slightly.

‘Since when did it start?’

From when the venture was successful?

Or since you left for the Academy?

Chartrand was much more attached to Perticia than before. Because she wanted to have her every move reported.

There may be various reasons for this, but Rimmer’s guess was slightly different from the one mentioned above.

‘… … Demuel Ron Dermore.’

Commonly known as the Earl of Dermore.

After meeting him, Chartrand showed a different behavior than before. It was at this time that his obsession with Perticia became blatant.

And one more thing.

There was a part that made me feel wary.

‘He was a bit of an awkward guy.’

Although the exact reason cannot be explained, the Count of Dermore that Rimmer saw was a man with a very strange aura.

To the point where I feel reluctant to be in the same space as him. This fact gave Rimer a somewhat ominous feeling.

‘Of course, as long as Lord Saxony stays by His Majesty’s side, nothing special will happen… … .’

Still, I couldn’t hide the uneasy feeling. Rimer sighed repeatedly and looked intently in the direction of the imperial castle.

That’s how the night came to an end.

6.

The next morning.

It was a bit early to wake up, but Noah left the dormitory and headed to the student center. She was there to help Iris with her election activities.

Then.

I met a familiar face.

“Ah, Ulan.”

Likewise, Ulan from the dormitory.

Later, while walking with him to the student center, I heard an unexpected story.

“really? So you’re saying that Perticia is also helping senior Iris with his election activities?”

“That’s it.”

Last night, Ulan had a conversation with Perticia through the Spirit of the Abyss who came out of nowhere.

She asked what happened when she was away, and in the process of explaining this, she brought up election activities.

“Then he immediately said he wanted to help.”

To be exact, this was the answer that came immediately after the story of Ibella and Delia was brought up. Meanwhile, Noah looked awkward at Ulan’s explanation.

As if he understood the general situation.

Noah, who was nodding like that, suddenly seemed to remember something and asked a question.

“I heard nothing special happened yesterday?”

“I was already worried, so I asked, and they said nothing special happened. but… … .”

“but?”

“For some reason, his face looked a little gaunt.”

“Your face is gaunt?”

“Yeah, like I have something to worry about.”

Noah’s eyes narrowed at those words.

If Ulan, who had been paying attention to the abyss, could feel the change, it would be clear that something special had taken place between Perticia and Rimmer.

‘What did you hear?’

Noah began to reason.

In fact, there was nothing to even call it reasoning.

If it’s 100, it’s 100, because it’s related to Crown Prince Chartrand. Perhaps he had received a call telling him to return to the imperial castle.

After making his judgment, Noah relayed the guess he had just made to Ulan. Then, after thinking for a moment, Ulan asked about Perticia’s situation.

“So are you going back to the imperial castle?”

“That means there is a possibility that it will happen.”

But then it would be difficult.

If Perticia returns to the imperial castle, it will not be easy to come out again.

Now that all seven warriors have finally gathered together, the plan goes awry again. That’s why Noah looked back at Ulan and said.

“First, please ask me more specifically. “It’s still just my guess.”

“i get it.”

The issue of Perticia was decided to be discussed again when the situation became more clear. Noah turned to see Ulan nodding his head.

Some time after that.

Noah gave an unexpected answer.

“Anyway, then I guess you don’t have to.”

“what?”

“That’s right. “There are four warriors, so there is no need for me to help with the election.”

Ulan, Delia, Ibella, Perticia.

Even if there are only two of the four, there is no problem in carrying out Iris’s escort and election activities.

However, if all four are involved in the mission, there is no need for Noah. It would be more efficient to do something else with that time.

So Noah continued.

“I also had something else to do.”

“If it’s something to do… … .”

Ulan becomes speechless for a moment.

He immediately asked again as if he remembered something.

“Could it be about Count Dermore?”

“no. If that were the case, she would have asked Ulan to join her. “If the Count is truly an Abyss worshiper, it would be difficult for me alone.”

It was quite a reasonable answer.

Because Noah has been self-sufficient since long ago. Ulan, recalling her memory, nodded her head while making a puzzled expression.

“Then what is there to do?”

“It’s something to do with the desert.”

Noah’s eyes shined like stars.

Of course, there was some time to spare before the winter vacation started, but that didn’t mean we could just sit there and do nothing.

‘The desert is unknown territory even for me.’

So the more information the better.

Other things to do, she said, include meeting “people related to the desert.”

‘… … Sirpi Ludrik.’

Originally, I wanted to become friends during this school trip, but things went wrong and I failed.

‘So this time… … .’

Before leaving for the desert, I was planning to build friendships somehow. Furthermore, the goal was to obtain as much information as possible about the Desert Cult.

Meanwhile, Ulan thought for a moment and then nodded as if he respected Noah’s wishes.

“i get it. “Let’s do that.”

“Okay, see you later then.”

With the student center right in front of you.

After saying a short goodbye, Ulan and Noah turned in opposite directions. It was to carry out each goal in each location.
