The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 98

(6)

10.

“Hey, this is invalid!”

A cry that sounded like a scream.

Ulan tilted his head at the sudden stoppage of the merchants who appeared soon after.

“why?”

“You didn’t turn it off, you broke it!?”

“you’re right! “If this happens, it is invalid.”

“Rather than that, let’s start with compensation for damages… … .”

A time when merchants kept talking.

Perticia suddenly asked, questioningly.

“But there were no such precautions, right?”

“What?”

“If it was really to be invalidated, it should have been told in advance not to break the magical power or destroy the wall.”

“that… … .”

I was speechless for a moment.

This is because absurd emotions soared.

Well, it was worth it.

When you think about common sense, how many people would throw a dart and destroy a wall?

So I was just about to refute it.

“Oh, that’s what I heard.”

“There were no such precautions, right?”

“Anyway, I didn’t break any rules.

“Don’t be mean and give it to me!”

Suddenly, bystanders joined in.

They were all guests who had been tricked.

Opinions shift to one side in the blink of an eye.

After some time due to increasingly unfavorable public opinion, the merchants eventually raised the white flag.

“Ugh, I understand. “I understand!”

“Quickly choose your prize!”

“You have to pick just three.”

Leaving behind the merchants who were pleading with God.

Ulan leisurely looked through the prize rack.

‘First of all, the wrist guard.’

This is something I noticed earlier.

This is the wrist guard to give to Ibella. Next, I chose the large umbrella placed in the corner.

As far as Ulan knows, Pertichia’s weather forecast has never been wrong.

‘finally… … .’

What should I choose?

I slowly looked around the shelves, but there wasn’t a prize that I particularly liked. It was all just decorations, accessories, or clothes.

At that time, something happened to catch my eye.

A small wooden statue carved in the shape of an owl. Ulan, who was looking at this, soon turned his gaze to Perticia across from him.

‘Come to think of it, I liked birds.’

Memories of Perticia from her past life.

She especially liked birds. So, I remember that even while she was fighting against the abyss, she often collected bird-shaped trinkets and dolls.

Recalling a nostalgic memory, he grabbed the owl statue without hesitation. Then, just as he was about to walk towards where Perticia was.

“Stop.”

A cold voice pierced my ears.

A brown-haired female knight. From the time she first saw Pertichia, it was Rimer who had been by her side ever since.

“Don’t come any closer than that.”

With eyes full of caution.

Rimmer glared at Ulan with his hand on the hilt of his sword. But Ulan ignored her warning and continued on with her.

“… … “If you keep coming, I will cut you down.”

The last harsh warning.

But Ulan ignored even this and approached Perticia. Then, murderous intent appeared in Rimmer’s eyes.

Just as I was about to take five steps.

Rimmer’s sword was imbued with an aura.

The master’s realm unfolds in an instant.

At the same time, sword strikes were fired at Ulan so fast that it was unrecognizable. A sharp blow without any trace of hesitation.

But at that moment.

Pow! Quad Deuk!

An extraordinary event unfolded before Rimmer’s eyes.

This was because the sword that was aimed at his neck was caught in Ulan’s grasp.

“… … !?”

Rimmer’s eyes turned big.

It was probably because I finally realized it.

Even after entering the master’s realm, there is only one thing that shares the same time as the master of the realm.

There is only one Master like her.

A feeling of astonishment soon appeared on the face.

But I wasn’t just surprised. She quickly stood in front of Perticia to fulfill her duties as her guard knight.

“Get back! This man… … !”

“There is no need to be on guard.”

But something even more surprising happened.

Ulan had already passed her at a speed that Rimmer could not perceive.

“I have no intention of causing harm.”

A grave voice was heard next.

This was an obvious fact.

If Ulan had intended to cause harm, not only Rimer but also Perticia and her guards would have fled long ago.

‘It’s my mistake.’

The difference in skill is so overwhelming that it reminds me of the imperial sword, Saxony Yul Orden. When Rimmer, keenly aware of his mistake, bit his lip.

Ulan extended his hand to Perticia.

It was to hand over an owl statue.

“I’ll give it to you.”

“… … yes?”

“This is my thanks for stopping the wind earlier.”

Looking at the red eyes growing bigger and bigger, he remembered what had just happened.

Around the time the Ulan started playing the lights out game.

In an instant, the wind in the street stopped. This was the result of Perticia borrowing the power of the spirits.

The evidence is that just before the wind died down, he brought his hands together around his mouth and muttered something like a whisper.

She always did this when speaking to spirits.

‘Of course, even if the wind hadn’t stopped… … .’

There would have been no change in the result itself.

If it had the power to break down a wall and even a tent, it would have produced the same result even if the direction had been slightly different.

However, it is true that I received favor.

And the favor must be properly repaid. Because that’s the way of the prairie.

“Then excuse me.”

Bring a wrist guard and an umbrella.

Ulan turned around without hesitation.

As if there was nothing more to do.

However, it was not Perticia. After looking blank for a moment, she hurriedly shouted.

“Now, wait a minute!”

With a trembling voice.

There were many things I wanted to ask him.

I was also curious about how I had realized that it was going to rain earlier, and how I realized that I had borrowed the power of the spirits to stop the wind.

But there was something more curious than that.

“Huh, how did you know?”

“What do you mean?”

“That’s what I want.”

She loved birds since she was young.

Because it was nice to see them flying freely in the sky without being trapped anywhere.

So the reason I participated in the lights out game was partly out of curiosity, and the other half was to get my hands on a statue of a bird I had never seen before.

‘but… … .’

The only person who knows that Perticia loves birds is her brother and crown prince, Chartrand.

Other than him, no one else knows this fact. Even the guard knight, Rimer, is the same.

But Ulan saw through even this.

I came up with a reasonable guess.

‘Maybe that person is like me… … .’

Could it be that you can see spirits?

Speculation that started out of curiosity quickly turned into interest and interest. Perticia waited for Ulan’s answer with a strangely tense expression.

Some time after that.

The answer came back a little shaky.

“For some reason, I think you might like birds.”

“Well, that’s it?”

“Yes.”

Finally, nod your head silently.

Ulan turned around again.

Later, when he was completely disappearing into the crowd, a memory suddenly flashed through Rimmer’s mind.

“… … !”

Istan El Deorg.

Seorik al-Ghorfant.

Memories of a master from the border barbarian tribe who defeated two masters of the Ruben Empire.

The two swordsmen spoke in unison.

The warrior who defeated them possesses a very special domain that ordinary masters cannot recognize.

The moment I put all of this together, the identity of the man who had stayed here until just now was revealed.

“Could it be that those barbarians…?” … !”

“Ulaanbaatar.”

Then.

Perticia took Rimmer’s horse.

She muttered, her eyes sparkling like starlight.

“He’s an interesting person.”

She carefully wrapped the owl statue she had received from Ulan and gazed endlessly at the place where Ulan had disappeared.

With an expression filled with strange interest.

11.

Meanwhile, at that time.

After leaving the market, Ulan returned to the square.

Finally, it was a little after 7 p.m.

As the appointment time approached, a familiar face appeared from afar. A girl approaches with light blonde hair. It was Ibella.

“Sorry. “You waited a long time, right?”

“Okay. “I just arrived too.”

Ulan waved his hand lightly.

As if it was no big deal.

“Yes? “Where have you been?”

“I looked at the night market. “Are you done with your business?”

“Yeah, it’s all over.”

A bright smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.

It looks like things went well.

At that time, Ibella took something out of her bag.

A small-sized box. She handed Ulan a box wrapped in stylish wrapping paper.

“Here, take this.”

“what?”

“Open it.”

Ibella smiles strangely.

Ulan suddenly took the box and opened the wrapping paper without much thought.

“This… … .”

After a while, what emerged from inside was a black leather belt with a luxurious feel.

When Ulan tilted his head.

Ibella smiled brightly and shouted.

“Happy birthday, Ulan!”

Ulan’s eyes widened slightly at those words.

Today is May 15th.

It was his birthday.

It’s just that I’ve never celebrated a birthday either in my past life or in this life, so I just forgot about it.

However, there was one thing that puzzled me.

“How do you know my birthday… … .”

“Oh, I heard it from Noah.”

Ibella responded as if she had been waiting.

In fact, the reason I kept putting off using the exit permit but decided to use it today was because I heard about Ulan’s birthday from Noah in advance.

However, since I couldn’t secure time to prepare a birthday present, I had to reserve about an hour of free time.

On the other hand, despite her answer, Ulan’s questions were not answered. Because he never told Noah when his birthday was.

‘But how did you know?’

That question crossed my mind for a moment, but I didn’t think about it for long. She was to blame for this Bella kept spitting out her words as if she were chattering.

“The reason I chose a belt was because I was worried about having to tighten my waist with twine every time. I thought it would be better if it was a little more sturdy… … .”

She was speechless and glanced this way.

Ulan read what she wanted in Ibella’s eyes. So she immediately wrapped her leather belt around her waist.

Whirling! Slam!

Furthermore, after fastening the buckle properly.

It definitely felt much more stable than twine. As soon as I finished wearing the belt, Ibella quietly spoke to me.

“how is it? Do you think it’s okay?”

“I like it very much.”

Ulan grinned.

It was with a satisfied smile.

“thanks. “Use it well.”

“huh! “I’m glad you like it.”

Ibella smiles at the same time.

After the birthday greetings and gift giving were over, she turned around without hesitation.

“Let’s go now. “It’s almost time for the last train.”

The last carriage heading from the capital towards Arsene Academy is at 8pm.

The current time is 7:20 PM.

If you move slowly, you will be able to arrive at a moderately leisurely pace. So, just as I was about to take a step.

“wait.”

“huh?”

“I have something to give you too.”

Suddenly, Ulan grabbed Ibella.

Then, I took out the bracelet I had purchased earlier in the market alley. She wore a pale gold bracelet that matched her hair.

“This is… … .”

After suddenly taking the bracelet.

Ibella looked at Ulan with trembling eyes.

As if asking why you gave this to me. Ulan responded as if it was no big deal.

“I bought it because I thought it would suit you.”

Of course, there are also bracelets from Delia and Noah.

I didn’t even say it that far.

Ibella’s cheeks turned red at the answer she received.

It was because I was excited after receiving an unexpected gift from Ulan.

“Hehe, thank you. “I’m really happy.”

Ibella answered with a bright smile.

However, it is still too early to say thank you. Because she had one more gift for her to give her.

“I asked to give you this too.”

“Yes? Wrist guards?”

“Yes. Because the swordsmanship you use puts a lot of strain on your wrists. So, it would be better to wear protective gear and swing a sword now.”

You should take care of it from now on, so you will suffer less from wrist pain in the future.

Looking at Ibella, whose eyes were wide open, Ulan congratulated her, along with another reason for giving her the wrist guard.

“Congratulations on reaching the level of intermediate knight.”

“… … !”

Ibella looks surprised.

After a while, she asked back with wide eyes, like a child who was caught hiding something.

“Uh, since when did you know?”

“Since the day before yesterday when I crossed the wall.”

Ulan answered calmly.

Ibella’s growth rate is much faster than in her last life. At this rate, there was a good chance that she would soon become a reliable force.

So I offered my honest congratulations.

Meanwhile, around that time.

Ibella looked touched.

I was grateful for the gift, but what made me happiest was that he realized that his swordsmanship was putting a strain on his wrists and gave him wrist guards as a gift.

‘That means… … .’

It means that Ulan is watching him a lot on a regular basis. Then, for no reason, my heart felt warm and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Thank you so much, Ulan.”

Holding the bracelet and wrist guard tightly.

He looked genuinely happy.

“I will treasure it.”

Today is truly the best day.

Not only did I spend the whole day alone with Ulan on a date, but I also heard that she was beautiful and even received an unexpected gift.

‘in fact… … .’

I wanted to close the gap with Ulan further.

I wanted there to be an opportunity for us to become more advanced than just friends. But in this situation, it would be too greedy to hope for that.

Because I’m happy enough with this right now. Feeling the happiness that filled her heart, Bella turned her body.

But even for a moment.

Suddenly, dark clouds appeared in the night sky, and a scenery unfolded that calmed the excited mood.

Shoot!

The refreshing rain pouring down.

My clothes got a little wet due to the sudden heavy rain.

Fortunately, Ulan had saved an umbrella in advance, so we didn’t get too wet.

But besides that.

Two problems arose.

First, it rains too much.

Second, because of this, carriages heading to Arsene Academy were stopped.

“alarm”

【Temporarily suspending horse-drawn carriage operations.】

【Scope: Outskirts of the capital】

「Camille Village, Barodan City, Yucca Lake, Roelika Monastery, Arsene Academy, etc.」

“… … .”

I never thought the carriage would break.

This situation was not planned. I didn’t even know it would rain this much in the first place.

So, it was a time when I was quite embarrassed.

“You’re in trouble.”

Ulan also frowned.

Actually, returning to the academy wasn’t particularly difficult. I remember everything about the road, and I was already used to this level of heavy rain.

However, the problem was Ibella.

If I went back in the pouring rain that made even my umbrella useless, I was sure that I would most likely catch a cold and be sick.

In other words, there is no choice but to wait for the rain to stop.

But no matter how much time passed, the rain showed no signs of stopping. As we continued to wait, the time soon reached 9 p.m.

‘Ugh, what should I do?’

A time when I was stomping my feet in a nervous mood.

Suddenly something caught her eye.

“… … ah.”

A gift that was enclosed in a letter sent to Ulan by Ibella’s father, Count Deorg.

And the night before.

While I was packing my luggage, Noah suddenly visited me and I hurriedly stuffed it into my bag.

It was a hotel accommodation voucher.
