The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 29

(One)

Chapter 10. isolation

One.

A cave wrapped in silence.

In this place where there was no sound, suddenly the sound of waves was heard. Soon, an angry wave swept through the cave along with a torrent.

Shoot!

Waves rolling through every corner of the cave.

After a while, three men and women appeared. It was Ulan and Ibella, a girl with gray hair.

Ibella and the girl who don’t even move a muscle.

He must have lost consciousness due to the sudden torrent. On the other hand, Ulan stood up as if nothing had happened.

That would be natural.

Ulan didn’t lose his mind.

From the moment he was swept away by the wave until now, he held his breath. So he remembered everything that had happened.

‘The moment I entered the cave, the entrance was closed.’

It would be more accurate to say that it collapsed. Huge boulders blocked the entrance.

Afterwards, the cave moved with a loud noise.

As if sinking to the bottom of a lake.

The moment he came to this point, a memory flashed through Ulan’s mind.

‘It’s somehow similar to the trials of a hero.’

The trials of a warrior he went through in the grassland.

The situation back then was similar to now. As soon as I set foot in the ruins where the ordeal was taking place, all entrances were closed.

‘Then maybe this place too…’

Is this another hero’s ordeal?

I suddenly had that thought, but soon realized that it wasn’t the right answer. That’s because I heard from my colleagues in my past life where each of them took on the challenge of becoming a hero.

‘There was not a single person who went through the trials of the warrior at Arsene Academy.’

Delia Arpen, who is famous as the top graduate of Arsene Academy, also said that she went through the trials of the warrior elsewhere.

‘Then what does this place do?’

Just as he was frowning at the situation returning to square one, Ulan came out of his thoughts. He had no choice but to escape.

This was because the girl suddenly started shaking. The same goes for Ibella. Her body temperature probably dropped because she fell into the water.

Moreover, the current temperature in the cave was lower than outside, so it was inevitable. Ulan noticed this and looked around the cave.

Then I found something in the corner.

‘Is it the remains of a ship?’

As guessed, it was the remains of a ferry boat.

It got wet, but it wasn’t a big problem.

If you inject spirit into a piece of wood and circulate it quickly to generate heat, the moisture will quickly evaporate.

Moreover, it also has this effect.

Good luck! Grumble!

A piece of wood that quickly caught fire.

Ulan picked up all the other debris and dried it. It was to be used as firewood.

‘Next…’

It’s time to take off their clothes.

If you lie down like that with wet clothes, your body temperature will drop quickly. So I took off my clothes without hesitation.

Afterwards, they moved the two around the bonfire. Even wet clothes were spread out appropriately so they could dry well.

‘It would be nice to have a blanket.’

There is no way something like that exists here.

Then, something caught Ulan’s attention. A big bag. It was the backpack Noah was carrying.

‘if······.’

Isn’t there something I need in there?

Suddenly a thought occurred to me. Because she has her mysterious powers of foresight. When she later opened her backpack, her guess quickly turned into certainty.

A towel wrapped in thick paper.

In addition, there is emergency food and water.

‘I guess he guessed that this future existed through his foresight.’

After all, it’s Noah-like.

After briefly admiring Ulan, he covered their bodies with a towel. After a while, he heard the sound of firewood burning and thought of Noah.

‘I’m sure he will be safe.’

Because I confirmed that Professor Miel received it.

In fact, there was no particular reason why Ulan saved Noah. It was simply because Noah was closest, so it was easy to throw.

Next, I tried to throw Ibella, but failed because I was swept away by the waves.

‘First, I have to find a way to get out.’

If Ulan had been alone here stranded, he would have immediately looked around the cave to find a way out.

But I couldn’t do that now.

There was no way I could leave the two who had lost their minds, and more than anything, what I heard from Noah bothered me.

Ulan looked at Dok2 intently.

‘I said if I brought it, I would have some use for it.’

This means that a battle may occur. Even the stone-headed Ulan guessed that much.

So I couldn’t leave this place.

If a monster appears while you are away for a moment, it will be the end for you two.

It was a time when I was spending my time in silence.

“······Ugh, ugh.”

A low groan was suddenly heard.

It was Ibella. Her eyelids fluttered and she eventually opened her eyes. Then she looked around with her blank eyes.

“W-Where are you?”

“It’s a cave.”

Ulan answered briefly.

The gaze is soon directed in this direction. Since it seemed like he still didn’t understand the situation, I added an explanation.

“I was swept away by the waves and fell here.”

At the time when the whole story came to an end.

Ibella barely came to her senses. Then she immediately opened her eyes as wide as a flower lamp.

“······!?”

Because I realized I wasn’t wearing any clothes.

All clothes except underwear were gone. As if someone had taken it off.

“I took it off.”

The solemn answer I heard at the same time.

Ibella’s eyes were filled with confusion as she saw Ulan obediently reporting the truth. She asked in a small, crawling voice.

“Ho, have you seen it?”

“what?”

“It’s underwear or something…”

“I saw.”

Because Ulan’s eyesight is very good.

I saw both the smooth skin and the curved body.

Meanwhile, Ibella looked speechless at the answer that was so confident.

“Just don’t worry. “Nothing to worry about has happened.”

“yes yes?”

“Even barbarians are picky about time and place. Attacking an unconscious woman is something only cowards do. “It’s not something a warrior would do.”

Ulan is a sturdy man.

The s*xual desire is also at a considerable level.

But at the same time, he is a warrior.

A warrior who values ​​honor. Because you value your own honor, you also know how to respect the honor of others. So he continued speaking with a serious face.

“I swear in the warrior’s name.”

“······.”

Is it because of his confident attitude?

Ibella felt her shame and embarrassment gradually subside. It was because I felt that there was no lie in her unwavering voice and in her eyes.

Ibella quickly nodded.

It meant that he would believe Ulan’s words.

After wrapping herself in a cozy towel, she looked at Ulan blankly again.

“You look surprisingly calm… huh?”

“Because I’m used to it.”

If you think about what happened in your past life, this is a bit much. I really went through all kinds of pitfalls back then.

‘Something like that happened in the past.’

It wasn’t long before I met my colleagues from my past life. Ulan was once isolated in her labyrinth with a saint who hated him terribly.

An extreme environment where it was impossible to even light a bonfire.

Eventually, the saint even lost her mind.

A body that becomes increasingly cold. Because he couldn’t just watch her teeth, Ulan had no choice but to touch her bare skin…

“······want to do.”

A time when I was reminiscing about old memories.

Suddenly, Ibella spoke up.

With a somewhat embarrassed expression. Meanwhile, Ulan, who had come out of the flashback, had a puzzled look on his face. Because she didn’t hear what was said.

“what?”

“Sat, Tongmyeongmyeong!”

Tongseongmyeong? Is it really necessary to do that?

Then it suddenly occurred to me.

‘I’ve never said hello to you in this life.’

When we first met, we just saw each other’s faces.

And the second meeting was also just a chance meeting while running through the forest and giving him swordsmanship advice.

I don’t remember having a separate conversation.

In other words, it is normal for Ulan to not know Ibella’s name. So I nodded silently. It meant permission.

“It’s Ulan Bator. “Call me Ulan.”

“Ibella Eleaad. He studied swordsmanship at the military school and enrolled to become a knight of the empire. “Please feel free to call me Ibella.”

After a simple handshake.

Ibella looked at Ulan’s hand blankly.

Hands as big and strong as a rock. Is it because of the intense warmth felt beyond it? For some reason, I felt like my body was itching.

“Oh right. “Hey, are you there?”

“why?”

“Ma, can I talk to you…?”

“Of course. “We are the same age.”

Ulan nodded willingly.

Ibella, on the other hand, looked surprised.

“uh? “Do you know my age?”

At this point, Ulan realized his mistake.

Because I realized that it was in my past life that I knew I was the same age as Ibella. So she decided to just take a quick look around.

“I guessed it by looking at your face.”

“······Do I look that old?”

“What does it mean?”

“Well, to begin with, the look in your eyes somehow shows your age… Huh! Nothing.”

Ibella cleared her throat and looked away.

Then his shoulders shook slightly. Perhaps it was because I had distanced myself from the bonfire ever since I came to my senses.

“If it’s cold, you can come a little closer.”

“I want to do that too.”

Ibella hesitates.

Ulan quickly realized the reason.

“If my gaze is the reason, I will look elsewhere.”

“No, that’s not it…”

After shaking my head vigorously.

She muttered softly. Glancing at Ulan’s muscles reflected in her campfire.

“······It’s difficult because the stimulation is so strong.”

“Stimulation?”

“There is such a thing.”

My heart is pounding violently. For some reason, Ibella felt like she would hear this sound if she went to Ulan’s side right now, so Ibella kept an appropriate distance.

widely! Crack!

The sound of firewood burning.

At the time when the warmth of the bonfire was spreading around.

Suddenly, Ibella pursed her lips.

“thank you.”

A sudden thank you.

Ulan answered indifferently.

“If it’s from the water, don’t worry about it.”

“That’s not it.”

Ibella shook her head.

“You gave me advice on swordsmanship.”

“Oh, was that the last time?”

“huh. When I followed your advice, the feeling of frustration went away. So I wanted to say thank you when I meet you someday.”

“That’s a good thing.”

Because the lingering regrets that Ibella had in her past life have been resolved. Ulan smiled slightly. Meanwhile, Bella, who was quietly looking at him, asked back in confusion.

“······Is this the end?”

“What do you mean?”

“Maybe you are asking something from me…”

“why me?”

Ulan asked back in confusion.

All he did was relay the conversation that future Ibella had said to her in the present.

And I received a thank you note.

This is enough.

Meanwhile, when the calm response came back, Ibella looked at him with slightly blank eyes.

It was natural. Because she overcame the wall thanks to Ulan’s advice, which was like a huge favor to the prosecutor.

So, of course I thought I would want something in return.

But Ulan was different. Then, I heard the reason why he reacted so calmly.

“We are friends. A greeting is enough.”

“friend······.”

Ibella muttered blankly.

It was because the word ‘friend’ was unfamiliar to me as I had never been in a relationship with anyone in my life. But even for a moment, Ibella suddenly smiled brightly.

“······lol.”

A laugh that came out without me knowing.

If I had been told that I was a friend by someone else, I would have been less impressed.

However, the word ‘friend’ that I heard from Ulan’s mouth felt strangely sweet.

I don’t know if it was because of that, but Ibella felt like she wanted to continue the conversation further. So she spoke again.

“Hey, Ulan?”

“······?”

“Can I ask what you will choose as a major?”

“What is your major?”

“uh? Didn’t you hear? Professor Miel said that. “From now on, you have to apply for and take major and minor courses.”

“Do students choose their own subjects?”

“That’s right.”

Ibella smiled brightly.

“I’m going to listen to Professor Ethan’s battlefield survival methods, intermediate swordsmanship, and weapon skills. Then I suddenly became curious about what course you would sign up for.”

“Where is the lecture list?”

“In the brochure. Looks like you haven’t seen it yet. Because the lecture list starts on page 60.”

As soon as she finished speaking.

Ulan answered confidently.

“I am reading page 11.”

“Yes?”

“Now there are 49 days left.”

After successfully calculating subtraction in your mind.

Ulan’s eyes sank.

If you think about it sequentially, there are 49 days left, but when I think about it, there was no need to read the guidebook in order.

‘When I get back, I’ll have to read page 60 first.’

I heard that I have to sign up for a lecture next week.

When I was making that decision in my mind.

Ibella quietly approached next to me.

“Or should I give you the list of lectures?”

“Do you have a brochure?”

“That’s not true, I remember a little bit.”

“Then please do me a favor.”

Ulan bowed his head slightly.

Then Ibella took out the list she had memorized one by one. Mostly focusing on the courses she had decided to sign up for.

Some time after that.

Ulan had a sour face.

‘There’s nothing I’m particularly attracted to.’

In fact, it doesn’t matter which lecture he takes.

Ulan is a monster who reached the level of master on his own without learning from others.

‘but······.’

If I had to choose, there were some that were somewhat interesting to me. So Ulan muttered an answer.

“Practical hunting and weapon skills would be good.”

The reason I chose hunting was because I suddenly thought of Stella. Monster hunting test proctor. She remembered her confident attitude.

The next reason I became interested in weapon technology was for an even simpler reason. The professor in charge of the lecture seemed to have a good knowledge of the various weapons that exist in the world.

‘Maybe we can get a clue to a very powerful weapon.’

A weapon so powerful that it will not be damaged even when fighting a giant king. This, too, was one of Ulan’s goals.

Meanwhile, Ibella, who heard Ulan’s words, immediately shouted with a bright smile on her face.

“Are you going to take weapons skills? really?!”

“If there is nothing else to learn, I plan to do so.”

“Wow, then we can listen together.”

“Maybe so.”

Ulan nodded again. At that time, Ibella’s eyes were sparkling with strange anticipation.

“Uh, uhh.”

A low moan was heard.

The gray-haired girl who had been unconscious all along.

As soon as she showed signs of opening her eyes, Ibella returned to her expressionless face as if she had never smiled before. It was as if she had put on her mask.

‘This is similar to my past life.’

Ibella took off her mask when talking to the warriors, including Ulan. But she always wore a mask when talking to strangers.

Ulan didn’t mind because he was aware of this habit. And around that time, the gray-haired girl finally opened her eyes.

“omg! W, this place…!?”

Wide-open eyes and surprised expression.

The two explained what had happened so far.

However, Ibella herself said that removing the girl’s clothes was all she did. This is probably to reduce unnecessary confusion.

After explaining the entire situation.

The girl shed thick tears.

“Black! Ugh! “Mommy…”

Actually, this is probably a normal reaction.

Because I was suddenly swept away by a wave and was stranded in an unknown cave. After a while, the girl seemed to have calmed down to some extent.

And soon the name was revealed.

“Well, my name is Sylphy.”

Shilpi Ludhina.

A student who entered the academy with the goal of majoring in ancient history and relic excavation as a general subject.

My age is sixteen.

He was one year younger than Ulan and Ibella.

Meanwhile, she clung to Ibella’s side and kept glancing at Ulan. Were you bothered by the repeated stares? Ulan asked straight away.

“Is there anything you want to say?”

“Oh, yes! Gu, I have a question.”

This guy has a lot of questions.

Ulan nodded. It means you can ask questions. Sylphy noticed this and asked a question in a trembling voice.

“······Why were you cheering in the auditorium?”

Perhaps he was curious about what happened during the entrance ceremony.

Then Ibella also looked at Ulan with curious eyes. She met the two pairs of eyes and answered as if Ulan had nothing to hide.

“To convey the truth.”

“Seriously?”

“okay. “I just shouted with all my heart because I wanted to get along well with everyone.”

Straight, unwavering eyes.

It means it’s not a lie.

Sylphy had a blank expression, and Ibella was barely suppressing laughter.

“So let’s get along well.”

“Yes, four! Ah, I get it.”

“Let’s not even talk.”

“Well, that’s a bit much. “I’m scared…”

Sylphy smiled awkwardly.

Afterwards, the atmosphere became somewhat more comfortable.

Ibella, who had been silent, opened her mouth.

“Then what should we do from now on?”

“Common sense tells me that it would be best to wait here for help to arrive.”

It was Sylphy who answered the question.

Professor Miel said. If something happens to cross the boundaries of Area 1, the guardians of the spring will move.

And the area where the cave is located is Area 2.

That’s enough motivation for the guardians to move.

Ulan, on the other hand, shook his head.

“That might be a bit difficult.”

“yes? why······.”

The moment I asked with a puzzled expression.

For an instant, I felt a cold chill.

When I reflexively looked away, I saw the water reaching up to my ankles. Perhaps water continues to flow in from outside.

Sylphy asked back in confusion.

“Uh, uh, what should I do?!”

“We need to move.”

I took a quick look around earlier, and there was a space in the back that looked like a passage.

Ulan ignited a large piece of wood into a torch and then stood up.

“First, find a safe place. And we will wait there for the guardians to rescue us.”

“It’s okay. “I agree.”

“Well, I’d like that too!”

Ibella and Sylphy also nodded.

A purpose decided unanimously.

After putting on their still damp clothes, the three started walking. The purpose was to avoid the rising water and find a safe area.
