The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 261

Chapter 58. All-in-one (1)

One.

Late at night, close to midnight.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, a black figure ran through the north gate of the academy. It crossed the fence in an instant and headed straight into the forest.

A boy with his hood pulled down deeply.

The boy with blue hair swaying in the wind was Elvin Addict, an executive of the current student council who was running as a candidate for the next student council president.

“Whoa.”

Immediately after hiding completely in the woods.

Elvin let out the breath he had been holding and looked around. Soon after she confirmed that there was no sign of her, she quickened her pace again.

After some time has passed.

He stopped only after reaching the center of the forest. Afterwards, Elvin looked intently at the withered old tree.

“It was definitely like this, right?”

Ervin muttered softly and immediately squatted down in front of the old tree and dug into the ground.

How long has it been like that?

As I was digging into the ground for a while, I suddenly felt a strange touch in Elvin’s hand.

“This… … .”

The end of an old sack.

After discovering this, Elvin moved his hands even more busily than before, and soon he pulled out a fully formed sack.

Immediately after checking the inside.

Elvin’s face turned a bright red.

“Good.”

A satisfied smile on his lips.

Then, the moon, which had been hidden by the clouds, emerged and clearly illuminated the inside of the sack in Elvin’s hand.

What was inside was blue tea leaves. It is an item called the Droga Leaf. Elvin looked at this with an ecstatic expression.

‘I was a little suspicious at first… … .’

The first time Elvin learned about the Droga Leaf was when he was introduced to a wizard by a distant relative of his family.

The wizard gave a special tea leaf as a gift to Elvin, who suffered from insomnia, and it was the Droga leaf in the bag.

‘Originally it was called a poisonous plant.’

However, if you remove the leaves, dry them well in the sun, and brew them as tea, the toxicity disappears and only the unique effects of Droga remain.

A high sense of uplift and strong excitement, and even the effect of falling asleep quickly. Thanks to this, Elvin was freed from the insomnia she had suffered from for a long time.

‘Of course it’s a bit addictive, but… … .’

The same goes for alcohol and cigarettes.

So I didn’t think it was a big deal.

‘And one more thing.’

The leaves of Droga are useful for more than just brewing and drinking them as tea. The point is that it is used as a material to recruit student council executives.

In particular, Anton, the current student council president, and Mond Parcheca, who I met during the day, are fascinated by the charm of leaves, just like Elvin.

Thanks to this, Elvin received strong support from executives and ran as a candidate for the next student council president.

Is that why? Ervin held Droga’s leaves dearly as if they were treasures. She then put her sack in her backpack and then stood up.

“I guess I should go back soon.”

Patrols at the north gate of Arsene Academy are strengthened after midnight. After remembering this fact, Elvin immediately walked towards the academy.

Some time after that.

After leaving the forest, he tried to climb over the wall and return to the dormitory like he did earlier.

But at that moment.

I heard a voice holding my foot.

“… … “Elvin Addict.”

A voice that sends chills down your face.

The two shadows that came out next blocked Ervin’s path. Girls with light blue and purple hair respectively.

“Where are you going?”

“Isn’t it against the school rules to leave the academy this late at night?”

It was Iris and Camilla.

Elvin could not hide his embarrassment at the unexpected appearance of these people.

“Why are you here… … .”

“I heard that there was a student who escaped through the back door, so I came to cooperate with the search.”

“Would you mind answering the question first?”

Camilla urges an answer.

Elvin, who had not yet grasped the situation, still looked embarrassed. However, she quickly regained her composure and calmly explained the situation.

“I just took a walk.”

“… … “You mean for a walk?”

“Yes, I was walking in a daze and ended up here without realizing it. Oh, of course I’m willing to pay the price for breaking the school rules.”

Lies that come out naturally.

Still, it’s perfect as an excuse. Elvin smiled inwardly.

“Hmm, really?”

On the other hand, Camilla had a strange face.

Eyes that shine as if they were the same. Ervin frowned at the somewhat unpleasant gaze.

But that only lasts for a moment.

Elvin couldn’t help but be embarrassed again by Camilla’s question that followed.

“Then what’s in that bag?”

“Hmm! Nothing in particular… … .”

“There’s no way a bag with nothing in it would be that bulging. “Do you think I’m a fool now?”

Camilla’s eyes narrowed.

Sharp criticism soon followed.

“If you’re going for a walk, why do you need a bag in the first place? “It’s not like I’m bringing anything.”

“It’s really nothing special. “I only say that because it’s just ordinary tea leaves.”

It’s almost like the word “tea leaf” ends.

Iris and Camilla’s eyes sparkled. However, she could not continue the questioning any further. It was because of a person who suddenly joined the conversation.

“Then I want to see the inside even more.”

“Huh, His Excellency the Marquis?!”

Seorik al-Ghorfant.

One of the five masters of the Ruben Empire and an honorary professor at the Department of Military Studies.

Elvin froze as Seorik appeared out of nowhere. Then Seorik spoke again.

“Cadet Elvin. “Can’t you hear me?”

“yes? W-what are you saying… … .”

“You asked to see the inside of the backpack.”

The moment I heard those words.

Alvin instinctively realized this. If you hold on any longer, you will only lose yourself. So she obediently put her backpack down on the floor.

“… … All right.”

Above all, Drogar’s leaves are a little-known herb in the current empire. So, if you ask why I have something like this, it would be enough to answer that I was planning to use it for magic experiments.

Meanwhile, Seorik took the backpack and checked inside without hesitation. The moment he saw Droga’s leaves, Theoric muttered softly.

“Hmm, it was true.”

“Yes, as I said before, these are extremely ordinary tea leaves. I’ve been suffering from insomnia recently, so I often worry… … .”

When his innocence was revealed, Elvin continued to answer with a relieved face. At that time, Theo Rick’s face suddenly hardened as he listened to her story.

“what? “You said you ate this?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

what? What did I say wrong?

Elvin nodded his head absentmindedly and rolled his eyes here and there as if he was anxious. At that moment, many celebrities revealed her presence.

“… … !”

Men popping out from all directions.

It was an inspector under the Department of Military Studies and a special task force directly under the Department of Magic. They immediately surrounded Elvin and opened their mouths with stern faces.

“Elvin Addict.”

“You are under arrest for violating imperial law.”

“The charge is that of attempting to take and bring in Droga leaves, which are designated as a highly dangerous drug.”

“… … yes?”

Elvin asked back blankly.

As if I still don’t understand the situation.

“Uh, dangerous drugs? What is that… … .”

“Let’s go and talk about the details.”

“Take it with you!”

On the other hand, the inspector general and special task force agents did not answer Elvin’s questions. They just arrested him and took him to the academy.

After Elvin was taken away like that.

Iris and Camilla stared at the droga leaves lightly spilling on the floor.

“On the outside, it looks like ordinary tea leaves, but it is a highly dangerous drug… … .”

“Is this such a dangerous herb?”

Iris looked back at Theorik.

Seoric nodded silently, making eye contact with the woman who asked carefully.

“Ah, you don’t know.”

He turned around and immediately pulled out his sword.

He then continued his explanation by poking at a Droga leaf that was rolling around on the floor.

“This is a drug with strong hallucinogenic effects. At the same time, it was the cause of the war in the West.”

“… … yes?”

“B-But the war in the West…” … .”

“You probably learned that the war was sparked by a feud between nobles, but in fact, that was a reason that was made up after the war.”

At those words, the two girls widened their eyes.

If someone else had said this, I would have dismissed it as a joke, but if the other person was Seoric, the story would be different.

Because he was a nobleman who directly participated in the Western War and one of the heroes who ended the Western War along with Bergé Erkazan.

“The truth is that it was caused by a fight to take over the Droga colony.”

“Then why did you hide the truth?”

“I decided it was dangerous for this plant to become known to the world. “It’s not that addictive at first, but if you keep taking it, it will eventually become a problem.”

Finally, a terrifying answer.

Seorik trampled the leaves of Drogar that had slightly overflowed from the bag with his feet.

“I was relieved that it had been more than 10 years since the distribution network was completely destroyed, but I never thought we would see it like this again.”

It was with a somewhat bitter smile.

Some time later, the bag containing Droga’s leaves was secured as important evidence. Soon after, the inspector and the special task force approached here.

“I am offended, Your Excellency.”

“How do we track the procurer?”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that.”

“yes? but… … .”

“It’s okay, leave it to me. “Because cadets Ulan and Delia started tracking him.”

Arsene’s Master and Archmage.

As soon as the two names were mentioned, the inspectors and the special task force immediately closed their mouths. If the two of them set out, it would only be a matter of time before they catch their helper.

‘But apart from that… … .’

Meanwhile, after finishing the answer.

Seorik’s complexion turned dark.

“… … “It feels a bit ominous.”

The reason was unknown.

Therefore, Seoric kept his mouth shut and looked at the western sky. It was in the direction of the imperial castle of the Ruben Empire, the greatest power on the continent.

2.

Meanwhile, at that time.

Around the time Elvin was arrested at the scene.

On the outskirts of the northern forest, a wizard was running quickly along the forest path.

“omg! “Huh!”

A wizard waving a gray robe.

He was out of breath, but he couldn’t stop. This was because there were beings fiercely pursuing them.

‘Damn, damn! ‘Damn it!’

Rav, Abyssal Worshiper.

As one of the organization’s executives, he came here following instructions from his superiors.

He has only one purpose.

Deliver the Droga Leaf to Elvin Addict. Although he didn’t know why he had to tell it, he obediently followed orders.

However, since it was judged that delivering the leaves in person was dangerous, the leaves were delivered by burying them in a pre-arranged location.

I’ve already moved like this three or four times.

So far, nothing particularly problematic has happened. So, thinking it would be similar this time, I went about my mission without thinking much about it.

‘however… … .’

It was a little different this time.

It was good until I buried the bag of Drogar leaves in the same place I always buried them, but right after that, a warning suddenly entered my mind.

【There are people following behind.】

【Get out of the forest as much as possible.】

A descendant of Lacus, the Lord of the Abyss.

At that whisper, Lav immediately left the scene. He had no reason to doubt the warning. Because the subordinates were specialized in surveillance.

However, the escape time was not long.

This is because, just as I was barely able to escape the forest, a fierce sword attack suddenly struck me.

“… … !”

In response to the warning sent by his instincts, Lav barely managed to avoid the attack. After rolling on the floor, he got up again and immediately saw the attacker.

A girl with light blonde hair.

The moment he met the turquoise eyes that sparkled sharply in the moonlight, Lav realized what the girl’s identity was.

‘Ibella Eleaad!’

The nemesis of the abyss mentioned above.

It is one of the seven stars that will later brighten the darkness of the abyss. At the same time, he was also a being whom Lacus called a hero.

When Rav’s eyes were shaking.

Ibella quickly adjusted her sword and began firing repeated sword strikes. Ravi frowned at her constant barrage.

“Tsk! “Ugh!”

Wounds that appear here and there on the body.

Ibella’s goal is probably to keep hurting people and distract them from concentration. Because then she couldn’t normally use magic.

But Lav was different.

‘Don’t look at me funny!’

Lav is a high-level wizard. No matter how much of a warrior he is, he is not weak enough to have his magic disrupted by being overwhelmed by a girl who is not even twenty years old.

Therefore, he used a high degree of concentration to complete the magic technique. The moment he was about to apply magic to Ibella’s face, which had narrowed the gap between him and her.

“… … uh?”

A dumbfounded expression appeared on his face.

Even though the magic trick was completed and magic power was infused, the magic did not activate. At that time, Bella’s sword flew through the air and pierced her shoulder.

“Aaaah!”

With a scream of pain, Lab stumbled and fell to his seat. With him, she realized why the spell had not activated just now.

A silver-haired girl with pointy ears.

This is because they discovered a wizard spreading enormous magical power behind Ibella.

‘Dilia Arpen!’

A person who receives Mana’s love.

The strongest wizard unprecedented in history, known to have recently reached the level of great wizard.

The moment he confirmed Delia’s existence, Lav realized. She knew that even if she fought a wizard who blocked the magic from being cast, she had no chance of winning.

“ha ha ha… … .”

A truly cornered situation.

Facing the overwhelming gap in talent, Lav lowered his head in resignation.

“… … “Is this the end?”

However, I haven’t given up yet.

Because a bizarre smile was blooming at the corner of Rav’s mouth. After a while, he raised his arms high and shouted in a loud voice.

“Ah, the abyss! “I offer you the blood and flesh of this worthless servant, so please accept it.”

“… … !”

The moment I saw this scene.

Delia’s face became as hard as stone. Because she had seen a similar scene before.

This is what the Abyss worshipers who attacked him did during his summer vacation in the past, when he was taking on the Trial of the Hero in the canyon of the Principality of Arpen.

“Stop it now! “I’m thinking of killing myself!”

With Delia’s urgent cry, Ibella’s sword moved like a flash. Ravi looked at this and grinned.

‘It’s great that you noticed, but… … .’

It’s already late.

The moment Lav realized there was no chance of winning, he unleashed all the magical power he had stored in his body.

A sneer appeared on Lav’s lips as he looked at the two girls rushing towards him. But at that moment, an unexpected attack struck him.

Whoops!

A loud noise was suddenly heard.

At the same time, I felt an enormous pain in the back of my head, and my vision also turned white.

‘What just happened… … ?’

Rav tried to quickly grasp the situation, but he couldn’t. It was because he lost consciousness due to the intense pain.

And the result.

The magic power of the abyss, which was on the verge of going out of control, calmed down again, and Lav collapsed in his seat like a doll whose strings were loose.

“… … uh.”

“Lord, aren’t you dead?”

Lav’s body is motionless.

When Delia and Ibella were embarrassed.

“Okay.”

With a voice that came out calmly, a huge man appeared from where Lav had been just a moment ago.

“Because I hit it gently.”

Ulan, a muscular barbarian with flowing red-brown hair, spoke as if it was no big deal.

Holding a club dripping with blood.
