The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 7

(One)

Chapter 3. Noah Darshen

One.

Noah, disciple of the shaman Azuh.

Actually, she has a secret.

A secret that I haven’t told anyone and will never tell anyone in the future. The point is that she is not a human from this world.

‘Yumin. 18 years old. high school student.’

This is Noah’s true identity.

The reason why she, an ordinary high school student in Korea, came to live as a girl named Noah was because of the games she always enjoyed.

A classic game with a high degree of freedom, with dozens of main characters.

The player must select one of them, raise it, and stop the Abyss Lords and monsters from invading the continent.

And this game was also a game that Minah Yoo played for over three years.

‘So I just tried to access the game like usual…’

When I came to my senses, I found myself in a game world.

It was absurd at first, but now I’ve gotten used to it. That’s because the first time I opened my eyes to a game was about 8 years ago.

In this way, Yoo Min-ah possessed ‘Noah Darshen’, one of the many main characters.

━━━

[Name]: Noah Darshen

[Age]: 16 years old

[Grade]: A+

[Attribute]: Blessing of Mana

━━━

Character information that appears when you quickly blink your right eye three times. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at ‘Noa Dar Shen’s’ status window.

‘It’s not a bad character.’

Noah is the recipient of the ‘Blessing of Mana’.

This means that he possessed tremendous talent in witchcraft and magic. It was also a rare trait, as there were only two of both the main character and the named character.

‘However, the grade was only A+ due to the fact that the physical strength was low and the initial training was very difficult.’

Noah’s story is truly amazing.

This is a character who accidentally learned magic while traveling around the continent as a slave, and later realized his talent and made a name for himself.

‘But I couldn’t do that this time.’

No, I didn’t want to do that.

The reason was simple.

Because I didn’t want to live as a slave.

So, based on the game knowledge I had accumulated so far, I deviated from the character story. And I managed to meet a named character, who had a significant role in the main scenario, under the guise of coincidence.

‘The great shaman Azuh.’

Noah became her disciple and escaped the fate of becoming a slave. After enduring for eight long years, she learned powerful magic.

Okay, so far it went according to plan.

However, I didn’t expect this.

‘But why…’

Is this man next to me?

Noah bit his lip and looked to the side.

Reddish-brown hair roughly tied up.

Stubborn eyes with flame-red eyes. A young man walks with his muscular upper body clearly exposed even in the middle of winter.

Ulan, the warrior of the plains.

Noah glanced at him and blinked his left eye three times. Immediately, Ulan’s information unfolded before my eyes.

━━━

[Name]: Ulaanbaatar

[Age]: 16 years old

[Grade]: SS+

[Attribute]: God’s protection

━━━

Ulan, a barbarian warrior character named after the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar. He possesses outstanding combat power, enough to be called the pinnacle of warrior characters.

It is also one of the famous names in , and the reasons are as follows.

‘Ulan is the only named character among the seven warriors whose play is restricted.’

All other warriors can be played as the main character, but only Ulan was a character with limited play by the user.

The reason was related to the role he played in the main scenario.

It is one of the commonly mentioned clichés, because Ulan is a named character who meets the end in place of his companions who are in danger.

In this way, the character Ulan can be summarized in one word as follows.

‘A simple, ignorant warrior character who is strong, brave, and has unwavering faith.’

The point to note here is ‘ignorance’.

Ulan is a truly ignorant warrior with a brain full of muscles. So it was far from studying, magic, or learning.

‘Suddenly······.’

Why did you become Azuh’s disciple?

Why are you entering the academy?

Is it perhaps a hidden junction? Or is it the butterfly effect created by deviating from the character story?

Noah was confused.

But besides this, there was one more thing that disturbed her.

‘Arsene Academy.’

An academy is an educational institution, that is, a school.

And Noah and Yoo Min-ah didn’t have any particularly good memories of school. Rather, she was full of nightmare-like memories.

The reason she refused to go to school and became addicted to games when she became a high school student was because she had experienced bad things at school.

‘······Should I just run away like this?’

Noah’s face darkened.

In my heart, I really wanted to run away.

But that shouldn’t be the case.

Because Arsene Academy was an opportunity.

A chance for her to become stronger as a shaman.

‘You have to be strong to survive.’

To do that, the only way to do that is to go to the academy and improve your skills as a wizard. To somehow survive in this game world!

Noah’s eyes sparkled with determination.

2.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Ulan, who was walking down the street in silence, looked at the girl walking beside him.

‘Noah Darshen.’

Hair as black as the night sky.

Blue eyes as clear as a lake and a small body like a rabbit. After lightly scanning Noah’s exterior, Ulan narrowed his eyes.

‘I guess I’ll have to talk to this guy soon.’

Ever since I left the grassland.

He did not have any conversation with Noah.

It was because I had nothing to say. But he could not remain silent forever, so Ulan decided to speak first.

“Did you say Noah?”

“yes? Ah, yesnet!”

Was it because he suddenly spoke to me?

Noah was startled and answered.

Tension was evident in his shrunken shoulders and slightly trembling voice. Ulan didn’t care and continued to say what he wanted to say.

“I’ll be honest. “I don’t know you.”

Even the name Noah.

And that he is Azuh’s disciple.

Everyone found out about it for the first time today.

So, I spoke with the intention of making a clear statement. But somehow the reaction was strange.

“Well, that! “I, that is…!”

A suddenly embarrassed expression.

Why are you like that? Is what I just said something to be that embarrassed about? Ulan tilted his head.

“So, let me introduce myself.”

“······Now, introduce yourself?”

“okay. “We’ll be together, whether we like it or not, until we get to Arsene Academy.”

Some time after the answer.

Noah breathed a sigh of relief.

After barely calming down, Noah placed his hand on his chest and opened his mouth.

“I’m Noah. Noah Darshen. “Eight years ago, by chance, I was picked up by my teacher and became his disciple.”

This is a story I already heard from ALC.

However, there was something I couldn’t hear.

“Then what were you doing before then?”

“I don’t know either. “I don’t remember.”

An awkward smile blooms at the corner of your mouth.

It looks like he’s hiding something. However, I didn’t really ask. Because each person may have one or two reasons that they cannot talk about.

It was the same with Ulan.

“But I like my past memories. “I guess I was just rolling around in the forest, picking up berries, mushrooms, etc. to eat.”

With a calm answer.

Noah brought up some more stories from the past.

From what kind of life you’ve had over the past eight years to what you’ve learned as Aju’s student, etc.

Around the time I was listening for a while.

Ulan suddenly realized something. Why have I never heard of Noah? Why doesn’t she remember her existence?

“Right. understood.”

“yes? What?”

“You are not from the grassland clan.”

Ulan’s eyes became calm.

Noah said. For the past eight years, he has lived exclusively in Ajukh’s cabin. The number of times he visited her village was so small that he could count it on one hand.

‘So of course I have no choice but to not know.’

Because in his past life, Ulan had never visited Ajukh’s hut. Above all, Noah looked different from other members of his clan.

Their appearance is more similar to humans in the outside world than to the grassland clan. Meanwhile, Noah nodded affirmatively to Ulan’s words.

“that’s right. Master often said similar things. “I am not from the grassland, but from outside the grassland.”

Noah smiled awkwardly.

It was a somewhat lonely laugh.

“But as long as you become Master’s disciple and live by receiving the grace of the grassland, you also said that you are part of the grassland clan!”

But even for a moment.

He answered in a cheerful tone, as if asking when he had looked so lonely. If that’s the case with Azuh, then that’s probably it. When she silently nodded.

“Is there anything else you’re curious about?”

“There is nothing in particular.”

“Then this concludes my introduction.”

Noah smiled brightly.

As if it were Ulan’s turn next.

Ulan also had that much insight, so he started introducing himself just like Noah did.

“I am Ulan Bator. “He is a warrior from the grassland clan and passed the warrior’s trials six months ago.”

After completing his introduction, Ulan closed his mouth.

Silence came again.

After a while, Noah asked vaguely.

“Is it over?”

“It’s over.”

What else do you need?

Ulan looked at her with proud eyes.

Meanwhile, Noah looked awkward.

“Well, can I ask you a few questions?”

“However much.”

“thank you. He said he had been receiving instruction from Master for half a year. I was curious about what he had learned during that time.”

“I learned basic common sense and academics.”

Over the past half year.

Ulan lined up what he had learned.

In particular, a strong sense of pride was evident when talking about being able to do double-digit addition and subtraction without fingers.

Noah, on the other hand, had a subtle expression.

‘Ignorance is the same as playing games…’

I wondered if the setting of being ignorant had disappeared, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Then why do you really want to study? I don’t even know why.

“Is there some problem?”

“Oh, no! it’s nothing.”

Noah was startled and waved his hands.

Right after coming out of my thoughts. She cleared her throat briefly and asked a second question.

“Hmm! Next, have you ever been outside in the grassland? So, it’s not because of hunting or exams, but because I stopped by the village or something.”

Of course there is.

However, this is only a memory of a past life.

Sixteen-year-old Ulan has never left the grassland. So I hesitated about what to say, but then shook my head.

“does not exist.”

“Phew, I thought so for some reason.”

After sighing as if he had expected it.

Noah spoke in a serious tone.

“Then promise me a few things!”

“promise?”

“Yes, unlike the grassland, the outside is a place with clear laws and regulations. So there is a clear distinction between what to do and what not to do.”

Noah spread out three fingers.

If I were to summarize the three things she wanted to say, they were roughly as follows.

first. Do not use violence carelessly.

second. If you ever need to use violence, ask Noah first. If you don’t have Noah, then think carefully and decide.

third. Do not arbitrarily steal other people’s things.

“There are many other precautions, but please promise me these three things right now. Then you won’t have any trouble at all.”

Ulan nodded to Noah’s request.

This is because it was something I already knew.

“Are you familiar with the world outside the plains?”

“It’s not to the point where I’m used to it. Still, I have some basic common sense because I have walked around with my teacher sometimes.”

A voice filled with strange pride.

Afterwards, we returned to the main topic.

“Anyway, can you promise me something?”

“i get it. “I promise.”

“In the name of a warrior?”

“Yes, I swear on my honor.”

Name, honor, oath.

When these words came out, Noah looked relieved. She grinned, letting out a brief sigh of relief.

“Thank you for your cooperation, Champion Ulan.”

“It’s Ulan.”

“yes?”

“It’s just Ulan. “Since you are an alumnus of mine, I allow you to call me by your first name.”

Noah’s eyes widened.

As if I heard something unexpected.

After a while, she blinked blankly and then smiled softly.

“Yes, got it. Ulan. “Then please feel free to call me Noah.”

“Okay, Noah.”

Tongseongmyeong is finally over.

At the same time, the atmosphere became brighter.

Noah pointed the way with a more relaxed look on his face.

“Okay then, let’s hurry. “In just one more hour, there will be a blizzard.”

“hmm? “How do you know that?”

“By smell. “As the scent of the magical power of ice becomes stronger, snow usually falls.”

It sniffed its small nose.

That’s the only way to know when it’s going to snow? As Ulan looked at him curiously, Noah smiled awkwardly.

“Anyway, it would be a good idea to find a cave before it starts to snow. “The best thing is to spend the night on the town…”

Noah blurted out his words.

It was with a slightly troubled expression.

“Is there some problem?”

“No matter how fast you walk to that village, it takes more than half a day. “The road is rough.”

Noah points to the village below the cliff.

Ulan looked towards the village. Then he asked back in a dry tone.

“I just have to arrive within an hour, right?”

“Well, that’s true, but…”

“done. “Then let’s go.”

“······yes?”

Just as he was wondering absentmindedly, Ulan grabbed Noah’s arm. Noah, drawn by the immense power, asked with a bewildered expression.

“Well, what are you going to do?”

“I think raising it this high will be enough.”

What is enough?

At that time, an ominous thought crossed my mind. Noah gave an expression of disbelief.

“Oh, no way. “That’s not what I think, is it?”

“What are you thinking?”

“Jumping off a cliff is crazy.”

Noah answered honestly.

Ulan chuckled.

“It seems like the shaman is a shaman after all.”

“yes? “What does that mean…”

“I never thought you could read my mind so accurately.”

“······!?”

Noah’s face turned pale.

And at that moment, Ulan’s muscular arms wrapped around Noah’s slender waist. A force so strong that it takes your breath away.

Ulan whispered calmly.

“If you don’t want to fall, hold on tight.”

“No, wait! hey! “Aaaah!”

I ended up feeling like my body was floating.

Noah’s scream rang out loudly.
