The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 94

(2)

2.

That evening.

After finishing her last class on Friday, Ibella skipped dinner and returned to the dormitory.

It was because I had urgent work to do.

“Phew, it’s finally tomorrow.”

Tomorrow is the day I go out alone with Ulan.

We’re just spending a day together, but I don’t know why my heart is pounding so hard.

No, correct me. I know the truth.

This is anticipation. Because she was looking forward to a day like tomorrow.

“good.”

After putting a smile on my face.

Ibella clenched her fists.

There was a lot to prepare for tomorrow in order to have a perfect day.

How long has it been like that?

When the sunset sky had already turned pitch black, the rough preparations were finally completed.

“Well, this will be enough for now.”

Clothes, bags, and shoes to wear tomorrow.

And even a notebook containing the daily schedule. I was rummaging through my luggage once again to check one last time to see if I had forgotten anything.

“Yes?”

Something fluttered and fell.

Crinkled and crumpled paper.

what? Is it a receipt?

With that thought in mind, I picked up the paper. Afterwards, Ibella’s eyes turned big.

“… … ah.”

It was because it was a familiar item.

A gift enclosed in a letter sent to Ulan from her father, Count Deorg.

It is an accommodation voucher for a hotel in the imperial capital.

Even though they said they were going to dispose of it, they seem to have forgotten about it. Of course, nothing changes even if it cannot be disposed of. All I had to do was just tear it up.

“… … .”

But Ibella hesitated.

For a suite room stay in a hotel in the capital of the empire, or in the middle of a busy city, it must be a hefty price.

Of course, that wasn’t the only reason.

She looked at the accommodation voucher with eyes filled with all sorts of concerns. After a while, a long time passed, she finally made a decision.

“Hmm! Well, you never know… … .”

Let’s not dispose of it right away.

I might have something to write about someday.

After clearing my throat for no reason, I kept my accommodation voucher with a flushed face.

Then.

smart!

Suddenly someone knocked on the door.

Ybella was suddenly surprised.

Like a child who was caught doing something without his parents knowing. So, I hurriedly stuffed the accommodation voucher into my bag and asked straight towards the door.

“Who are you?!”

“It’s me, Noah.”

Oh right. We were supposed to meet today, right?

Ibella then remembered the promise she had made with Noah during the day. After a while, Noah entered the room and asked with a puzzled look.

“But it’s later than you thought?”

The original appointment time was 6pm.

But now it’s almost 8 PM.

Meanwhile, Noah made a subtle expression at Ibella’s words and suddenly let out a groan.

“Ugh, I was locked in the student guidance office.”

“huh? suddenly?”

“Whew, there is such a thing.”

After sighing repeatedly.

Noah shook his head. As if she was trying to shake off bad thoughts.

“Let’s get started sooner than that.”

The reason I came here today.

This is to give you appropriate advice for your date tomorrow. It would be accurate to say that Ibella asked Noah for help.

‘Just looking at the character story… … .’

From childhood until now, Ibella has never been alone with a person of the opposite s*x.

Of course, I’ve never been on a date.

That’s probably why he asked Noah for help.

‘I have the same problem.’

Noah also has no dating experience. But she said there were fundamental differences between her and her Bella.

Because when Noah lived as Yoo Min-ah, she enjoyed reading books, dramas, and movies related to relationships every day.

‘In other words, simple advice is possible.’

For example, asking what kind of clothes you will wear when going out or checking your date schedule.

Above all, Ibella is the first friend Noah made after entering the academy. She wanted to be as helpful as possible so she could.

After finishing my short thoughts.

Noah sat down on the sofa and opened his mouth.

“First, show me what you will wear tomorrow.”

“I already prepared it. Here’s a t-shirt… … .”

“No, wear it and come.”

“Yes? here?”

“Because it’s more certain that way.”

Just looking at clothes is not enough.

There are clothes that fit everyone, and clothes that don’t. Of course, Ibella has a nice body type, so any clothes will look good on her.

“Hey, I’m all dressed.”

At that time, Noah’s thoughts were broken.

Ybella hesitantly approaches next. Soon her image appeared in Noah’s eyes.

Ibella’s outfit was simple.

All I wore was a white T-shirt, jeans, a white hat, and sneakers. Noah said, narrowing his eyes at her.

“leaving out.”

“Why, why?”

“It’s so ordinary.”

Of course, if you look at what suits you, you will pass.

As I briefly mentioned earlier, Ibella has a great body. However, it is true that it was too ordinary for her first date.

“Isn’t it better to be ordinary?”

“No, tomorrow is our first date. “But you’re going to wear just that T-shirt and pants?”

Ibella bowed her head in response to Noah’s scolding.

It’s not because I don’t have any respect for myself. This is because my face suddenly heated up at the word date.

So, while I was still touching my bright red ears, Noah spoke again.

“Do you have any other clothes?”

This isn’t the only clothing item.

When Noah asked again, Ibella hesitated for a moment and answered in a quiet voice.

“Actually, there are clothes sent by my family… … .”

“however?”

“I don’t think it suits me.”

“I will decide on that, so come wear it.”

“Hmm, then wait a moment.”

Ibella picked up her clothes and headed to the bathroom.

But this time it takes quite a long time.

When I waited patiently. Ibella’s voice was finally heard.

“… … “It’s done.”

A small voice, as if crawling inside.

At the same time, Noah looked away. Then her eyes widened.

“… … !”

It was worth it.

What Ibella wore was an off-the-shoulder dress that exposed her shoulders.

Clothing that is not common here.

When I was blankly looking at Ibella.

“Please say something.”

He said, wrapping his arms around his shoulders.

Noah, free from his thoughts, gave his thumbs up without a moment of hesitation.

“… … pass.”

“really?”

“Yes, this is absolutely fine.”

No, rather, there is nothing else than this.

The white tee and jeans looked good earlier, but they still can’t beat this dress.

On the other hand, contrary to Noah’s high praise, Ibella looked completely unaffected.

“But doesn’t it suit me?”

“what? “Why do you think that?”

“Well, I don’t have much muscle… … .”

“So it suits you.”

The proof is that she pulls off the off-shoulder dress so perfectly. Despite Noah’s denial, Ibella continued to point out her shortcomings.

“Also, your shoulders are a bit broad.”

“are you okay. “If you go around with Ulan, no one will think your shoulders are broad.”

“ah… … .”

That’s right.

Just walking in step with Ulan will make you look small in comparison. When she nodded, as if she was convinced by Noah’s words.

“Well, it’s perfect as is, but do you have any accessories? “Something like a bracelet or earrings.”

“Ah, I think we spent it together in the family.”

“Bring it quickly.”

After repeated urging, Ibella brought a whole box of accessories.

Noah found a bracelet and earrings that matched her current outfit, and even loosened her hair that she always tied up.

And the result.

A satisfied exclamation burst out.

“Perfect.”

“really?”

“huh. Ulan will be mesmerized too. “I promise.”

It was almost like I could swear.

The Ibella in front of you right now is not inferior at all even compared to the bard who is the most beautiful woman in the warrior party.

“Now that the clothes are done, what’s the plan next?”

“I wrote down the schedule here.”

After accepting the notebook given by Ibella.

Noah glanced over the plan quickly.

First of all, 8 am.

Take the carriage reserved at the academy’s main gate and travel to the southern district, the capital of the Ruben Empire.

‘It takes about 2 hours to get to the capital.’

So the estimated arrival time is 10 am.

It was written that after a quick meal, we would go see a play.

“theater?”

“huh. “I even bought the admission ticket in advance.”

“What is it about?”

“It’s a forbidden love story between a daughter from a noble family and a barbarian warrior from the frontier.”

“… … .”

It’s too blatant.

Noah narrowed his eyes.

Still, it’s not bad. Since Ulan was at the point where he was completely oblivious to all aspects, this would be a good way to appeal to Ibella’s intentions.

‘Next… … .’

When you think of dates, most of the things that immediately come to mind are schedules.

A truly packed schedule.

However, there was one thing that was puzzling.

“But what’s with the one hour free time here?”

Looking at Ibella’s schedule, there is an hour gap between 3pm and 4pm.

Maybe you didn’t make a plan?

As I was thinking that, the answer came back.

“Oh, that’s… … .”

She lowered her voice and whispered softly.

So that only Noah can hear.

“Ah, if that’s the reason, I guess I can’t help it.”

After a while, when the answer was finished, Noah nodded as if he understood. It was because she had a sufficiently convincing reason.

“Is there anything that needs to be modified?”

“Well, first of all, my opinion is…” … .”

I have a schedule that needs some tweaking. So Noah immediately started revising his plan, and Ibella focused on the story with a very serious expression.

So the night got deeper and deeper.

3.

The next morning.

Ulan woke up early as usual.

Saturday with no classes. Normally, I would have exercised my physical strength by running through the forest, but today was an exception.

It was the day I had an appointment with Ibella.

So after completing a brief bodyweight exercise.

After finishing the shower, I turned around.

It was to head to the main gate, the meeting place.

But then, all of a sudden, the white wolf that was crouching by the window came following me. As if he intended to follow Ulan.

“Are you going to go with me too?”

[purr!]

The white wolf nods its head in the affirmative.

I don’t know what kind of wind suddenly blew, but Ulan didn’t care.

“Okay, do whatever you want.”

You’ll be in the shadows anyway.

just as expected?

As soon as I left the room, the white wolf seemed to melt into the shadows. After leaving the dormitory, Ulan took her steps in the fresh wind.

Some time after that.

The main gate was visible in the distance.

Although it was quite early, there were a few students around the main gate. They are probably students who want to go out like Ulan.

After passing by them like that.

Ulan stood tall in front of the main gate.

“I guess Ibella didn’t come.”

The current time is 7:50.

There were still 10 minutes left, so I decided to wait patiently. But then, suddenly, someone came towards me.

“Hey, why are you just passing by?”

A girl poking her waist with a sullen face.

A familiar voice. It’s Ibella’s voice.

I didn’t see it until just now, where did it come from? When I turned my head with questions.

“… … Ibella?”

For an instant, Ulan’s eyes widened.

The girl in front of me was one of the students around the front gate earlier. However, what he didn’t recognize was because he was dressed differently than usual.

Hair let down naturally.

Skin that is noticeably whiter than usual.

Plus, a dress with bare shoulders.

In all of her past and present life, this is the first time in her life that Ibella has ever seen her wear clothes like this.

“W-Why are you looking at me like that?”

On the other hand, is it because I was staring too intently?

Ibella quietly lowered her head.

With an embarrassed expression. Then, when I twirled my hair with my fingers.

Ulan’s reply came back.

“I didn’t recognize him because he was different from usual.”

“Yeah, really?”

Ibella’s complexion brightened slightly.

The dress she wore today was discussed with Noah, and the goal was to make it ‘look different from usual.’

After achieving the desired goal.

Ibella cleared her throat briefly.

“Hmm! how is it? Do you think it’s okay?”

She turned around and glanced at Ulan.

As if I wanted to hear honest impressions.

On the other hand, Ulan was not the type to hide facts that were in plain sight. So he gave his answer without any hesitation.

“It’s very beautiful.”

“… … ! Ah, areum?!”

“okay. “I keep seeing it.”

An honest answer without any lies.

After finishing speaking, Ulan could not take his eyes off Ibella, as if to prove the answer he had just given.

Eyes burning brightly like flames.

The first one to turn his attention was Ibella.

“Uh, how long are you going to see me?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“Because I’m embarrassed.”

“I am OK.”

“… … “I’m embarrassed.”

Ibella, whose face was red, stretched out both hands and pushed Ulan away. As if to stop looking.

Meanwhile, the reserved carriage arrived.

Sigh!

A moment later, the carriage door was wide open.

On the other hand, Ibella hesitated and couldn’t get on board. This is because the height of the reserved carriage was higher than the other carriages.

“Do you need help?”

Did you notice this then?

Ulan blurted out.

Ibella smiled brightly because it was what she had secretly hoped for. Then she cautiously stretched out her hand.

“Yes. Well, thank you… … .”

However, I couldn’t even say thank you.

I thought he was going to hold her hand, but what Ulan did was just hug her.

“… … !?”

Ibella was taken aback by the sudden action.

On the other hand, Ulan calmly held her in his arms and got into the carriage. Then the driver in her driver’s seat burst into laughter.

“Haha, your boyfriend is very hot.”

“Uh, no, that’s… … .”

I was trying to say something, but my tongue got stuck.

So, just as I was lowering my red face, I immediately heard the coachman’s voice.

“Okay then, let’s leave.”

Soon the carriage was shaking and moving.

The carriage carrying the two ran down a cool stretch of road.

4.

Meanwhile, at that time.

Imperial castle of the Leuven Empire.

As warm sunlight bathed the streets, a group of people came out.

Six men and women with their faces and bodies covered in pure white robes. However, what is unique is that the formation is built around the central figure.

As if escorting an important person.

Meanwhile, the two men and women in the rear spoke in a cautious tone.

“You can ask us to do this.”

“There is no need for the princess to come out… … .”

A difficult tone, as if you were embarrassed for some reason.

The person they spoke to was a slender girl in the center of the group.

Then.

“are you okay.”

The girl who was called princess by the two turned their gaze. Red eyes sparkled, along with pure white hair sticking out of the hood.

“I came out today because I wanted to.”

The girl’s identity is the seventh princess of the empire.

It was Perticia Yves Al Reuben.

The reason she came out of the imperial castle today, as she was of noble lineage, was to purchase the necessary supplies for incorporation.

“I want to choose the things I use myself.”

Two months and fifteen days from now.

She is scheduled to transfer to Arsene Academy. So, I bought in advance the various supplies that I would use at that time.

“But no matter what… … .”

“Also, my brother gave me permission.”

Immediately after Perticia’s answer.

Only then did the servants close their mouths. I had no choice but to close it. Because her brother was none other than 1st Prince Chartrand.

Chartrand Monique Al Reuben.

He is currently the eye of the typhoon in the imperial family and is being discussed as the next emperor. And Perticia was Chartrand’s favorite younger sister.

“Okay then, let’s go quickly.”

Perticia smiled and turned around.

However, I could not move a few steps and soon had no choice but to stop in place. It was because the person closest to her had grabbed her wrist.

“… … Princess.”

“yes?”

“I ask you in advance, do not stray more than five steps from my side.”

“huh? “Is there a reason it’s five steps?”

“Because that is my territory.”

The female knight with brown hair finished answering.

Her name is Limer Yen Lapidis.

He is one of the five masters of the empire and is a knight called the Light Sword of the East. At the same time, she was also the only female Master on the entire continent.

Meanwhile, after Rimmer’s answer.

Perticia’s bright red eyes widened as if an old memory suddenly came to her mind.

“Oh, now that I think about it, I think Lord Orden said something similar. However, I think Lord Orden definitely said forty steps… … .”

“That’s because Lord Saxony is the strongest in the empire.”

Imperial sword, Saxony Yul Orden.

Serving the first prince, he was the strongest knight in the empire in name and reality. The breadth of the area he could expand was the proof.

‘… … ‘Forty steps.’

It’s ridiculously wide.

The realm of ignorance is the result of a master’s experience, skills, and spirit mixed together.

Therefore, it takes several years just to expand one step. But 40 steps, I have no idea how strong he is.

Unless the law prohibiting duels between masters is changed in the first place, there will be no need to fight.

‘Oh, now that I think about it… … .’

Speaking of a duel between masters, a person suddenly came to mind. Currently subject to ‘level 0’ management specially managed by the military.

‘Are you sure you said Ulan?’

Heir to the Northern Grassland Tribe.

Barbarian warrior, Ulan Bator.

A master who came out of nowhere and a strong man who defeated two of the five swords of the empire.

‘I feel like I want to join in too.’

I don’t know if there will be a chance.

Unless you visit the Arsene Academy, not only will you never meet them, but there is no reason to visit the academy in the first place.

So I quickly shook off the distracting thoughts.

Afterwards, we focused on the conversation again.

“Anyway, if you promise me this, I will not interfere with the princess’s actions.”

“Uhm, I understand. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

Perticia smiled brightly.

As if I were promising never to fall further than five steps. After her answer, the group started walking again.

Today’s destination.

Toward the southern square of the capital.
