The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 5

(2)

3.

The center of the world and the only neutral zone on the continent.

The fountain of magic, the place where ‘Arsene’ exists.

There has been a top educational institution here, famous for producing numerous talented people since ancient times.

‘Arsene Academy.’

Where Ulan targeted admission.

Although I was excited by the invitation much sooner than expected, I quickly regained my composure.

That’s because I had one concern.

“I’m still not good enough.”

Ulan knew his level well.

So I had a hunch. If you take the entrance exam like this, you will never pass.

“To be honest, I am not confident that I will pass the entrance exam. “Thank you for the suggestion, but I would rather take on the challenge after gaining more knowledge.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

Azuh suddenly stopped talking.

“The letter of recommendation I mentioned earlier refers to the documents required for admission to Arsene Academy. “With your status, the entrance exam itself will be difficult.”

She added an additional explanation.

Anyone can apply to Arsene Academy. However, this only applies to the ‘people’ of the kingdom and empire beyond the grasslands.

On the other hand, Ulan are just barbarians.

Therefore, it is impossible to take the entrance exam, let alone enroll, using general methods.

“However, if there is a letter of recommendation from a great nobleman, the story will be different. “If you submit a letter of recommendation, not only will your status be guaranteed, but you will also be exempt from the written test, which is one of the challenges of the entrance exam.”

There is no need to take the written test.

Ulan’s eyes widened at this one word.

But that was only for a moment, and Ulan asked back as if a new worry had occurred to him.

“But would a man named Count Dermore write a letter of recommendation so easily?”

“You don’t have to worry about that either. Ulan, have you ever heard that I left the plains and wandered the world?”

Of course I heard it.

Ulan nodded.

“At that time, I happened to save a kid’s life. He was a solid guy. “It’s hard to believe that he has noble blood.”

As if reminiscing about a nostalgic past.

Azuh made a wistful expression.

“Anyway, in return for saving his life, he made an oath contract with me. “When he inherits the family someday, he will grant any wish within his power.”

“Then that kid…”

“Yes, it is Count Dermore.”

After the hidden story ends.

Ulan understood the general situation. Then he asked with a slightly subtle expression.

“But are you sure you’ll be okay?”

“What did you mean?”

“Even if you use my one and only wish…”

“Does not matter. “It would be better to use it for blooming buds rather than weeds that will soon wither.”

It seems that Azuh has already made his decision. The confidence in his voice was proof.

“Ulan.”

Azuh spoke again.

“This world is much wider than the prairies.”

Pointing your wand at the sky.

She grinned.

“Leave the grassland. See and learn many things in the wide world. “Expand your world by devouring all the knowledge you can find.”

After Azuh finished speaking.

Only then did Ulan understand the meaning behind her outfit. Today is the end of half a year of teaching. In other words, it is a day of farewell.

Immediately after realizing this.

I knelt down and bowed my head.

“Thank you for your teachings.”

This was the utmost gratitude, respect, and courtesy that could be conveyed as a warrior. Afterwards, Ulan stood up and was about to leave the cabin.

“Take these.”

Azuh’s voice grabbed my feet.

What she took out was an ax and a book. When Ulan looked at him asking what that was, Azuh explained step by step.

“It is an ax smelted from scurvy stone found in a cave. “It has the property of becoming stronger the more blood it contains.”

Scurvy stone is an ore used by shamans as a medium for their magic. I know it’s an expensive item, but I never thought I’d make an ax with it.

Ulan swung the ax lightly.

The weight is just right and the length is just right.

Of course, it was nothing compared to the ax that I often used in my past life, but there was no doubt that it was a useful weapon for the time being.

“Next, in this book I wrote down the lessons I was unable to teach you. “Don’t neglect your studies whenever you can until you go to Arsene Academy.”

“I will be grateful, Azuh.”

Without hiding my joy.

Ulan smiled brightly. Azuh nodded his head wordlessly and looked out his window.

“It’s late today. If you are going to leave, do so after the blizzard stops. “I’ll also need to say goodbye to Ark and the other warriors.”

“I will.”

Ulan nodded obediently.

After a while, he left the cabin.

Although a fierce snowstorm raged, Ulan walked resolutely. As if he will not give in no matter what trials come his way in the future.

4.

Long after Ulan left.

When the heavy snowstorm subsided for a while.

Let’s go!

With the sound of stepping on soft snow.

There was a guest who visited the cabin.

A girl wearing thick fur clothes.

She was a girl with a mysterious appearance, with hair as black as the night sky and blue eyes.

She knocked on the cabin door.

Knock knock!

Exactly three times.

Then he revealed his name.

“Master. “It’s Noah.”

A voice that breaks beautifully.

Soon a cough was heard from inside. A signal that it is okay to come in. When I opened the door and went inside, Azuh suddenly spoke to me.

“······Has Ulan gone?”

“Yes, I have completely left the forest.”

Noah nodded.

Then, Azuh fell into his seat as if he was relieved of his tension.

“Whoa, we’re finally free!”

A smile blooms on a wrinkled face.

It is a smile filled with happy emotions.

Meanwhile, Noah looked like he had a lot to ask. After thinking for a moment, she carefully asked a question.

“Uh, Master.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“May I ask why you want to enroll him in the academy?”

“what? “I’m asking now because I don’t know that!”

Azuh suddenly gets angry.

However, the anger did not last long.

“…Well, you might not know. “Because you have just finished taking the exam.”

The girl’s name is Noah Darshen.

This is a child that Azuh accidentally discovered about 8 years ago and took on as his disciple.

After teaching all kinds of magic and science, he left to take the shaman’s exam to prove his achievements, and has just returned today.

Meanwhile, Azuh, who had regained his senses, sighed again and muttered.

“That guy is bad.”

“······yes?”

“There is no stone head like that. “Even if I were to teach this to a ten-year-old child in my clan, he would understand better than that!”

Azuh trembled.

Like I’m getting tired of it.

“Of course it’s not all messed up. Concentration and memory are quite useful. But other than that, everything else is substandard.”

What do you do if you have a good memory? The process of remembering takes too long.

That’s not all.

From comprehension to thinking skills, etc.

It was below average in all areas.

No, it was just the floor.

“The good news is that he figured out his worth and gave up the position of chieftain to Ark. “If that becomes the chief…”

The future of the clan was probably bleak.

There was a time when I had hope for Ulan. He believed that if he had both strength and wisdom, he would be able to conquer the plains and even the continent.

But this was a vain belief.

Because I realized that all of Ulan’s talents were focused on strength and combat. So, Ulan used the excuse of being admitted to Arsene Academy, which he so desperately wanted, to kick him out of the plains.

At least to let Alc wander the world until he establishes a foundation as the chieftain.

Meanwhile, after the story is over.

Noah had a puzzled expression.

“But if you’re just kicking them out, there’s no need to send them to the academy, right? Even if I enroll, I won’t be able to keep up with the classes anyway…”

Isn’t this just wishful thinking?

Noah thought so.

On the other hand, Azuh had different thoughts.

“Ulan’s courage as a warrior is very great. “Of all the heroes known to the world, he is by far the best.”

Honestly, I recognize his qualities as a warrior.

Noah probably had similar thoughts, so he nodded.

“But the vessel of knowledge is too small. So, I hope that this opportunity will allow him to know the size of his own bowl.”

“ah! “Now I understand.”

Noah opened his eyes wide.

“In other words, Master doesn’t want him to walk the path of learning, but only to fulfill his mission as a warrior and hero?”

“Yes, as you said.”

Ajjuh smiles and nods.

Noah finally sighed.

It was a sigh of relief.

“Phew, that’s a relief. “I was worried about what would happen if he didn’t fulfill his mission as a warrior…”

“But Noah.”

“yes?”

“What is the hero’s mission?”

“Of course, to stop the Lords of the Abyss, oh no! Oh, it’s nothing! lol.”

As if he realized his mistake too late.

Noah blurted out his words as if he was embarrassed.

Azuh frowned and tilted his head, but soon moved on. This was because there was something else more important to say.

“Noah.”

“Yes, Master.”

Noah answers politely.

Azuh looked at her, then took out a pure white envelope from his arms and handed it to her.

“Congratulations on passing the test.”

“Master, is this…?”

“It’s the same letter that Ulan took.”

A letter requesting a letter of recommendation from the Earl of Dermore. As Noah’s eyes widened upon hearing this, Azuh continued speaking.

“You should go to Arsene Academy together.”

“······!”

The face suddenly hardened.

This is because I understood the meaning of Azuh. Noah shouted in a trembling voice.

“B-but I’m still not good enough! “Learn more from the teacher…”

“No, you already learned everything.”

A voice that feels sincere.

Azuh spoke with a kind face.

“So, improve your skills at the academy and then come back. “You are also the future of the clan.”

“······Master.”

She pursed her lips.

It’s because I felt it subconsciously.

Azuh has already made a decision.

After a considerable amount of time has passed.

Noah nodded his face full of determination.

“Yes, I will follow what Master says.”

“okay. “Well thought out.”

Azuh smiled kindly.

However, as time passed, Noah seemed to have no intention of getting up. All she could do was look at Azuh with her bright eyes.

If you have anything to say, it’s already been done, so why aren’t you thinking about going? Just as I was about to ask her why, she tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face.

Noah spoke one step ahead.

With a very serious face.
