The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 51

(5)

11.

After the boring second game ended.

The next game soon began.

Two students appeared in the stadium one after another. The military studies professors all had their eyes sparkling. Because they were both students who were at the center of the topic.

A nobleman with curly brown hair.

A topless barbarian.

Of the two, the one who grabbed the professors’ attention first was by far the nobleman.

“Your posture is great. “My gait is fine.”

“Are you sure you said you were at the level of an intermediate knight?”

“It was like that until I took the entrance exam, but they said I recently broke through the wall.”

“what? already?”

The professor asks in surprise.

With the newly revealed facts, the professors looked at the nobleman with even more interesting eyes.

Himel deorg.

He is one of the five Masters of the Empire, and the heir to Count Deorg. So, of course, I would be interested.

“So does that mean it’s a reward now?”

“Really? It’s amazing. “I’m only nineteen years old, but I’m already at the level of an advanced knight…”

“As expected, it’s Deorg’s bloodline.”

“He is excellent at swordsmanship and has good sense, so he is a talented person with a promising future.”

A series of favorable reviews.

After praising me until my mouth was watering.

Next, the gaze turned to another contestant. It was Ulan. However, her eyes were quite different from when she looked at Himel.

If the gaze toward Hamel had been mixed with curiosity, interest, or anticipation, it was now the exact opposite.

“To be honest, I can’t believe it.”

“That kind of thing is an expert.”

“Of course, if you think about the antics that took place at the entrance ceremony, it is understandable to some extent…”

Disgust, disgust, distrust, etc.

There was not a single favorable emotion in the gaze towards Ulan. So much so that he even denies the recently spread rumors.

“Maybe the rumors are exaggerated.”

“you’re right. “If it were true, the department would have been turned upside down a long time ago.”

“Well, that also makes sense.”

Professors who reach their own conclusions.

Meanwhile, at that time, Ethan, who was eavesdropping on the professors’ conversation not far away, clicked his tongue.

‘Tsk, you stupid bastards.’

The people sitting in front of me are people who claim to be professors at the Department of Military Studies. And professors at Arsene Academy, the continent’s best educational institution.

However, it was funny that he was caught up in the prejudice that he was from a barbarian tribe and could not even recognize the true value of the jewel in front of him.

‘And the department was turned upside down long ago.’

Furthermore, even the military was shaken up.

To that extent, Ulan is a person at the center of attention in the empire. Deorg’s bloodline had long since disappeared from memory.

Whether they knew Ethan’s true intentions or not, the professors just kept guessing.

“Then how much do you think your skills will be?”

“Well, I don’t know.”

“Aren’t you just about to reach intermediate level?”

“Of course, the incident that occurred in the auditorium was shocking, but in fact, it is difficult to consider him an expert based on that alone.”

Really, those kinds of things are also called professors.

Ethan sneered inwardly.

It was a rumor that was spread by lowering the expert level a lot. At that moment, a professor suddenly turned to look at him.

“What do you think, Professor Ethan?”

With a sudden question.

All the professors’ eyes turned to Ethan.

It was worth it. Ethan Arnoff is the most talented professor in the Department of Military Studies.

Because he was a strong person who reached expert level.

‘I feel the same way…’

I want to tell you that even if 100 people attack Himel Deorg, they will be no match for Ulan.

But I couldn’t.

They had already received a silence order from their superiors not to reveal any information about Ulan.

So I just answered roughly.

“I hope you don’t get hurt too much.”

It was a somewhat unexpected answer, but the professors seemed to understand what it meant.

“Haha, don’t worry about that.”

“that’s right. Himel Deorg is a student who knows how to be considerate of others. And those barbarians…”

“It’s Ulan.”

“what?”

“They’re not barbarians, they’re Ulan.”

Ethan’s eyes flashed fiercely.

So frighteningly intense.

An unspoken pressure weighing down your body. Professor Noh cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.

“Hmm! Yeah, yeah. Anyway, the Ulan student is in such good shape, right? Even if you get stabbed or cut a few times, you probably won’t be seriously hurt.”

It seems like he understood Ethan’s words in the opposite way. The person he didn’t want to hurt was Himel, not Ulan.

So I didn’t bother to answer.

Instead, he looked at Ulan and put his hands together.

‘Please be gentle.’

Anyway, victory is almost guaranteed.

So, I hope it ends without any major injuries. Also, I would be more grateful if you could defeat him while hiding his skills as much as possible.

While visiting a God I don’t normally believe in.

Ethan prayed so deeply.

12.

Meanwhile, at that time.

Ulan, who arrived at the stadium, tilted his head. A considerable amount of time had passed, but no matter how long I waited, there was no sign of the battle starting.

So, it was a time when I felt strange.

A good reason was soon revealed.

“Notification from the control room. “Due to the battle that took place in the second game, we found that the saturation of magic power in the stadium exceeded the standard level.”

“Therefore, we would like to resume play after the clean-up work is completed. “Each player is requested to wait at the stadium.”

Something seems to have gone wrong.

In that case, I have no choice but to wait. Putting her ax down at her feet, Ulan eased her body.

But then.

“Hey, you.”

Suddenly, someone spoke to me.

A young man with light brown curly hair. It was Ulan’s opponent, Himel Deorg. he asked without hiding the displeasure on his face.

“What is your relationship with Ibella?”

“We are friends.”

“what? friend?”

Himel frowned.

As if I had heard an absurd answer.

“under! “Friend, that’s not even funny.”

With an expression of astonishment.

His eyes became cold. Then he suddenly said something like this.

“Do you know that guy’s past?”

“I do not know.”

“Good, then I’ll tell you.”

“No, you don’t have to.”

I’m not really curious.

So I politely declined. However, Ulan’s opinion was completely ignored.

“He was born in the slums.”

“······.”

Himel started explaining on his own.

He’s a guy who doesn’t listen to others. While I was thinking that, Himel continued his speech.

“I grew up in a back alley full of trash and filth. In other words, I am not of noble noble family descent as you think.”

“Right.”

However, Ulan’s response was dry.

Is it because of his unfazed appearance? Himel frowned. As if it made me feel uncomfortable.

“There is no need to hide your emotions on purpose. You’re probably feeling deceived by now. “It’s okay to be as angry as you want.”

“No, I’m not angry.”

It was true. There was nothing to be angry about in the first place.

Ulan had never thought that Ibella was from a noble family.

‘If he was a noble…’

You probably never wandered around the battlefield in your last life.

Ulan’s reaction was so simple. Himel gave an expression of incomprehension, then slightly raised the corner of his mouth. It was a smile that felt mean.

“It’s not just that. Proving that he grew up in a vulgar place, he never learned culture or manners. “What happened in the past…”

Himel continues speaking.

It is mainly about finding fault with Ibella. Ulan, who had been listening to the story in silence, soon frowned.

“so?”

“What, what?”

“What does that matter?”

All Ulan responded was that he was just friends with Ibella. But why should I hear this from a guy I met for the first time today?

So I asked why.

But the answer I wanted to hear did not come back. All that came back was a look and voice full of contempt.

“······You suddenly cut off someone’s conversation. “It seems Ibella is not the only one lacking manners.”

After crushing my face.

Himel’s tone became cold.

“i get it. Then let’s get to the point. “I warn you, it would be best not to go around with Ibella from today onwards.”

“what?”

“If I am seen with Ibella after today’s game, I will regard you as the heir of the family as an enemy of Count Deorg.”

A sudden threat as a signal.

A ferocious force struck Ulan.

The determination and fighting spirit of someone who has just reached the level of an advanced knight. It was powerful enough to make an ordinary person suffocate for an instant.

Of course, Ulan was not ordinary.

Both body and brain.

So I asked as if I was curious.

“What is the Count Deorg?”

“······what?”

Himel asked back with a blank face.

Immediately, his face turned red.

“You damn bastard! “How dare a mere barbarian insult our family!?”

“It’s not an insult, it’s really the first time I’ve heard this.”

“Do not lie! No matter how much you think about it, there’s no way you wouldn’t know about our family that has served His Majesty the Emperor for generations…!”

“I don’t even know who the emperor is.”

The moment I heard the answer, I was speechless.

And soon I realized. There are no lies in Ulan’s eyes. This means that she is not deliberately making up her words to provoke Himel.

That means you really don’t know.

I don’t know who the emperor of the empire is, and there’s no way I know the family of a single count. When Himel looked dejected.

“The battle will begin soon!”

“Let the contestants move to their respective locations!”

The voices of the referees were heard.

It looks like the stadium remodeling has already been completed. Himel turned around, gritted his teeth, and then growled fiercely.

“good night. Then I will tell you with the sword.”

Intense eyes turned to Ulan.

“How fierce Deorg’s sword is. Furthermore, I will completely strip you of your false name as an expert!”

Finally, with a firm declaration,

Ulan and Himel stood in their seats.

The referee, who judged that all preparations were complete, immediately let out a loud cry.

“Battle begins!”

With a signal, Himel kicked the ground.

A fast attack that hits quickly.

He had no intention of prolonging the battle. Ulan are just barbarians. Because he was a hybrid with no honor to protect.

‘I’ll take you down in the blink of an eye.’

I will further prove it.

The idea that Ulan is an expert is an overly exaggerated rumor. Himel quickly closed the gap and quickly swung his sword.

But at that moment.

Kaaaaaaaa!

The attack was blocked. Reading Geomro (劍路) is pretty good for a barbarian. When I was thinking like that.

“······!”

Himel’s eyes suddenly widened.

As if I realized something. He immediately twisted his blade and knocked Ulan’s ax away. Then he jumped back like a frog.

‘what? What kind of power is this…’

The moment the ax and sword met, I realized.

If we continue to struggle like this, we will soon be crushed by this guy.

‘But strength isn’t everything.’

If you have superpowers.

I will overwhelm you with speed.

Himel took a short breath and then launched a series of thrusts with a frenzied force.

Pababababat!

A quick attack pouring down like heavy rain.

We deliberately targeted only places that were difficult to defend. The intention was to inflict injuries little by little to dull the body and then end it with one blow.

The battle continued thereafter.

But this time it also failed.

Because Ulan blocked or dodged almost every attack. A clean body without any wounds. Himel bit her lip tightly.

It was because I felt nervous for a moment.

‘No, I still have the advantage.’

In the battles that had continued so far, Ulan had only blocked or avoided Himel’s attacks. Let alone an attack, not even a counterattack came back.

This means only one thing.

The guy must be anxious just to block his own attacks. Himel was sure of that.

‘but······.’

There was one thing that caught me off guard.

Every time his ax and sword come into contact, I feel a strange sense of discomfort. A feeling I once felt a long time ago passed through my hands.

But the distracting thoughts quickly disappeared.

Because the important thing now was to defeat Ulan. So, once again, I mobilized all my strength and launched a quick attack.

How long has it been like that?

Himel’s complexion gradually changed as he went on the offensive. Because he felt something strange.

‘It’s not like we’re only focused on stopping…’

All defenses and evasions are so perfect.

The proof is that there are no wounds on the body.

In other words, it means that all attacks that have occurred so far have been blocked or avoided. And there was one more strange thing.

That’s Ulan’s expression.

He looked at Himel with a puzzled face.

Sometimes I tilt my head. A time when I gritted my teeth at a strangely angry expression.

Ulan’s momentum changed suddenly.

“······!”

The distance narrows in an instant.

Soon the ax came flying through the air.

It’s too late to avoid it!

Himel gritted his teeth and swung his sword diagonally. With the intention of repelling the attack.

Kaaaang!

With a short crash sound.

I barely managed to dodge the attack.

However, the force contained in the ax hit Himel, and his body was pushed backwards.

“Huh, huh!”

Breathing suddenly disturbed.

This is because he was shaken by the recent blow.

He opened his eyes wide without even thinking about calming down his rough breathing. It was a look full of astonishment.

‘Nonsense!’

I realized it with this blow.

Ulan has a higher level than Himel. At the same time, I also recognized the identity of the sense of discomfort I had felt earlier.

In the past, before receiving a knighthood.

I once shared a sword with my father, Count Deorg. At that time, Himel was the first to encounter the Master’s domain.

And now.

Ulan’s blow was consistent with the time.

‘Well, that means…!’

This guy is not an expert.

Much higher than that. Perhaps he is a person of the same world as Count d’Org.

‘No, that can’t be!’

After casting violently trembling eyes.

There was disbelief in his eyes. However, once my agitated mind was not easily calmed down.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Ulan stared at him.

When the weapon first came into contact with him.

Himel instinctively sensed Ulan’s power and retreated with an attack. This is certainly a talent worthy of praise.

‘But that’s all.’

Other than that, there was nothing special.

Ibella, on the other hand, was different.

In the same situation as before, instead of stepping back, I narrowed the gap. With the intention of creating an opening and launching an attack.

And the result.

She created a gap that didn’t exist.

This was talent.

Himel, on the other hand, could not.

The gap in talent is clearly visible. Ulan narrowed his eyes. As if suspicious.

‘That’s a swordsman genius?’

A genius representing the empire?

I had strong doubts.

So, I tried to take Himel’s attacks in moderation and see if there was a possibility.

But there was nothing.

‘So finally…’

Through an unexpected surprise attack, they wanted to test whether there was anything they were hiding. But it was no different.

This level cannot even be compared to Ibella, who used even a surprise attack as an opportunity to counterattack.

Ulan concluded.

‘It seems Delia was mistaken.’

That’s not a swordsman genius.

He has no talent for swordsmanship. He’s just a guy who handles a bit with a knife. Compared to this Bella, she was no better than an earthworm.

‘I’ll have to tell you after the game.’

You were mistaken.

After thinking about it, Ulan grabbed the axe.

It was to end the game slowly.

‘There were three conditions for victory.’

To blow away an opponent’s weapon or render him incapable of combat. Or the referee intervenes.

Of the three methods, Ulan decided to use the first method. I filled the ax with spirit and intended to cut off Himel’s sword.

Wooooow!

The moment the ax turned red-hot.

“Now, wait!”

Suddenly an urgent cry was heard.

It was Himel. He hurriedly spread his palm forward and shouted with a somewhat nervous look on his face.

“I have a suggestion for you.”

“proposal?”

“okay! “If you give me this game, I will cooperate with you to achieve your goal.”

A sudden suggestion.

Ulan tilted his head.

“Do you know what my purpose is?”

“Of course I know. “Because I’m a man too.”

An answer filled with strong confidence.

It was quite surprising, but I soon understood. After all, men seek strength and want to acquire powerful weapons.

‘however······.’

It was also true that it was unreliable.

Ulan’s goal is to attain the state of superhumanity and the strongest weapon. This is because he could not have imagined that Himel would have this kind of power.

But then.

A completely unexpected word came back.

“After all, his body is the goal, right?”

“······what?”

“I mean Ibella.”

Himel’s mouth twisted.

With a wry smile.

“If you give up this game, I will let Ibella into your room right away, even tonight. “I promise on my family name!”

“······.”

“You don’t have to worry about getting caught. Even if you get caught, there is no going back. After all, she was born a shallow girl. If you want, every night from now on…”

But Himel could not continue speaking.

Because I couldn’t breathe for a moment.

Without even having time to question Himel, a terrifying feeling of intimidation pressed down on Himel’s body.

“Bwak! “Ugh!”

A heavy body as if crushed by a rock.

My arms and legs were shaking like aspen trees, and I couldn’t even breathe properly. At that moment, Himel realized. What is the cause of this phenomenon?

“······!”

The reason was Ulan.

A killing intent so strong that goosebumps appear all over the body.

The person who entered the realm of the Master truly exuded murderous intent. Unless you are the same Master, it is an intimidating feeling that you can never handle.

When Himel’s face became increasingly pale.

Ulan’s tightly closed lips opened.

“······I don’t care if you call me a barbarian.”

Because it’s true.

Ulan didn’t care if people said he was ignorant and ignorant, or that he had no culture or manners.

But─.

“An exception is for touching my friend.”

Himel tarnished Ibella’s honor.

Just by using my tongue three inches.

Ulan glared at the guy with eyes full of anger and disgust.

“Ibella’s honor is not cheap enough for you to talk nonsense.”

Ending with anger as huge as a volcano.

Ulan suddenly lost his killing intent.

“omg! “Huh!”

Right after I could barely breathe.

Himel’s face quickly turned pale. It’s because I’m now convinced. Ulan is a master who has surpassed even the level of expert.

“Uh, uh. Ahhh!”

Is it because I realized the scary truth? Or was it because he was on the verge of fainting under the pressure of murderous intent?

Himel sat down and slowly retreated. Yet he did not let go of his sword.

Looking at him with dry eyes.

“So apologize.”

Ulan said:

As if offering one last act of generosity.

“Go see Ibella right away and apologize for tarnishing her reputation. Then, I will pretend that you did not hear what I just heard.”

“······what? Okay, apple?”

I? To that kind of girl?

Himel had an absurd expression. Although trembling with fear, he gritted his teeth and shouted.

“If you can’t do it…!”

“Then, on behalf of my friend, I will restore his tarnished honor. “In the barbarian way.”

Eerily shining bright red eyes.

Himel flinched for a moment. But even for a moment, the guy gritted his teeth.

“Ooh, don’t be funny!”

An expression twisted with shame and anger. He snarled, holding his sword tightly.

“It is you who should apologize! I am Deorg’s legitimate son! “He is the only successor!”

Himel seems to have decided that he cannot win with skill, so he uses his family’s prestige. He looked truly petty.

Maybe that’s his nature.

While frowning at the ugly struggle, Himel’s sword was suddenly aimed at Ulan.

“You should kneel before me right now. “Otherwise, I will trample on you, your family, and even that vulgar woman!”

“······.”

Ulan looks at Himel with an expressionless face.

After a while, he suddenly threw away the axe.

Himel’s face turned bright red at this sight. Because putting down a weapon meant giving up the game.

“Hehe, good. “It has to come out like that.”

A time when I was laughing bitterly.

Ulan came trotting this way. Himel said, looking at the sight as if enjoying it.

“Okay, kneel down there. If you give up the game and go out, you… “What is it?”

But Ulan did not stop.

Eight steps, seven steps, six steps.

The distance is gradually decreasing. Every time the gap narrowed, Himel felt an inexplicable chill.

“Huh, stop! “Don’t come any closer!”

So I swung my sword.

As if threatening. But Ulan didn’t stop, and Himel attacked him straight away.

And that moment.

Hot!

Ulan grabbed his sword.

No gloves, just bare hands.

His palm must have been slightly grazed by the sharp blade, and a small drop of red blood flowed down the sword.

“Hey, you ignorant bastard!”

Himel shouts with a tired face.

At that time, the hero’s imprint on Ulan’s back flashed for an instant. Himel, whether aware of this or not, cried out, crumpling his face.

“OK. “I’ll cut off your finger like this!”

The moment I tried to swing the sword with force.

Quad Deuk! Paaang!

Suddenly a sword exploded in the air.

It was because I couldn’t bear the grip strength. A sword that shatters. Himel was startled.

“W-what! The sword…! Kehehe!”

The sound of your breathing being squeezed.

This is because he was grabbed by the collar by a huge hand.

Then, Ulan suddenly thrust his face in and growled as if he was going to chew the guy up.

“I take up arms only when the opponent is a vicious monster or warrior.”

“Bwak! Off! Ugh!”

“If the opponent is a coward who is not a warrior, there is no need to use a weapon.”

And Himel is the latter.

This guy doesn’t deserve to be called a warrior. At least that was the case by Ulan standards.

“Look clearly with those eyes. “What happens when a coward pretending to be a warrior tarnishes the honor of a warrior?”

Immediately after Ulan finished speaking.

Himel felt his body floating.

What on earth are you going to do?

I tried to ask, but my voice couldn’t come out because my breathing was blocked.

And that moment.

‘uh?’

Himel’s vision darkened.

An eerie sound is heard right away.

Quack!

With the sound of something breaking, a lot of dirt entered my slightly opened mouth.

It feels uncomfortable and stuffy. But before he even realized it, a dizzying pain struck him.

“Kwaaaaak!”

My nose bone was completely crushed.

Currently, Himel is stuck on the floor upside down.

Even when he was thrown, his face was hit first.

His face was crushed on the stadium floor, and red blood flowed from his broken nose.

But Ulan did not stop.

“Off, ahhh!”

Right after grabbing the guy by the back of the head.

I immediately turned around.

The place where the calm eyes were directed was towards the audience. To be exact, it was in the direction where Ibella was.

Ibella opened her eyes wide as if she was surprised.

While making eye contact with her.

Ulan slammed Himel’s head to the floor.

─────!

A loud sound that shakes the stadium.

The impact is strong enough to make you worry that your head might break. There was no need to worry. Because I had no intention of easily fainting in the first place.

Ugh! Ugh!

The spirit of Ulan wrapped around Himel’s skull.

This way your head won’t break. I just feel dizzying pain.

“G-hehe!”

Himel’s face covered in blood.

Perhaps because all of his teeth were broken, his speech became slurred. He belatedly realized the reality and begged for mercy, shedding tears mixed with blood.

“In that, my, my, in that…!”

“Not yet.”

But it didn’t work for Ulan.

Ulan said, glaring into Himel’s eyes.

“This is an honor that your foolish tongue has tarnished. “The only thing that can be washed away is your blood.”

Ulan slammed Himel’s head to the floor again. If he doesn’t want to bow his head, he will just let him bow his head like this.

Quaaaang!

My head hit and the floor cracked.

Kwasik!

Blood accumulated and a puddle was formed.

puck! Puk puk puk!

Is it because of the repeated pain?

Himel, who was shaking, went limp.

‘Have you lost your mind?’

But it’s okay. Stimulating your brain with spirit can quickly make you come to your senses.

So, just as I was about to do that.

“S-stop! “All the way there!”

“Stop fighting! stop!”

The referee intervened late.

It seems that he was mesmerized by the sudden sight and has finally come to his senses.

Ulan, on the other hand, frowned.

It was natural. Because the amount of blood was not yet enough to wash away all the tarnished honor.

‘Then the apology I couldn’t finish today…’

I’ll have to continue next time.

After making a promise that would have sparked a match if Himel had heard it, Ulan roughly threw Himmel, who had become a rag, to the floor.

When the third game ended.

The blood-stained stadium was filled with silence.

But the silence didn’t last long.

This is because the guards came rushing in.

“He’s over there!”

“Tie it up now!”

Chains wrapped around his body.

Thinking that this was a somewhat familiar situation, Ulan was taken to the student leadership once again.

Chapter 14. What does it matter?

fantasy,
