The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 153

(6)

11.

Perticia’s guard knight.

Limeren Lapidis frowned as soon as he left the restaurant.

“… … No matter how you look at it, it’s suspicious.”

“yes? What do you mean?”

“That barbarian just now.”

A strong man who defeated two of the five swords of the empire.

Ulan Bator. Reflecting on the monster’s ridiculously large territory, she revealed why she thought Ulan was suspicious.

“We ran into each other twice last time, but we met again like this this time, right?”

Two months ago now.

Perticia had left the imperial castle and came to the capital to prepare for admission to the academy.

And I also met Ulan at that time.

Once at a restaurant and once at a night market. But I never thought we would meet again this time. Rimmer muttered with a stern expression.

“It’s impossible to follow the princess on purpose… … .”

“Hey, that’s not it.”

On the other hand, Perticia immediately denied it.

As if that could never happen.

“In the first place, I was the one who spoke first this time, not Ulan?”

That’s what I heard and saw.

Ulan was just standing at the entrance of the restaurant to eat with his group.

Rimmer closed his mouth.

However, as she thought back to that time for a moment, she suddenly found a question.

“And how did you know?”

“huh? What?”

“There were barbarians in the hotel.”

Before Perticia spoke to Ulan.

She walked down the main street and headed towards the hotel building where the restaurant was located. Pertichia, upon hearing her question, shrugged her shoulders and answered:

“Because I could see it.”

“yes? but… … .”

Rimmer was speechless.

It was worth it.

Because when I saw it from where I was walking earlier, the restaurant was surrounded by an exterior wall.

‘In other words, you can’t see the inside of the building.’

It would be a different story if she had the ability to see, but Perticia does not have that ability.

At that time, did you realize the question Rimmer had? Perticia, who was walking quietly, added an explanation with a bright smile on her face.

“I have good eyesight.”

This is a fact that Rimmer also knows.

Because she communicates with spirits, her eyesight and hearing are much better than those of ordinary people.

Still, at best, their eyesight and hearing are slightly better than those of the average person. It is not enough to recognize the presence of Ulan beyond the thick outer wall.

‘But how… … .’

You accurately identified the existence of Ulan, right?

Rimmer kept tilting his head in response to the unanswered question. However, there was one fact that she did not know.

It was Perticia’s eyesight and hearing that far exceeded her guess.

“Whoa.”

Immediately after letting out a short breath.

Various whispers tickled my ears.

As I closed my eyelids, all the surrounding scenery flowed like a river. This is a phenomenon that occurs naturally when sharing senses with spirits.

Through this, Perticia was able to see and hear all the scenery within a 1km radius of her current location.

Some time after that.

She caught the sight she wanted.

Ulan and Noah have just left the restaurant and are heading towards the eastern gate. She had a sullen expression as she stared at the backs of the two.

‘… … I’m disappointed.’

It’s only two months.

How can a woman change in such a short period of time?

I remember it was a different girl last time. Recalling her old memories, she felt disgusted for some reason and pouted her lips.

‘Still, it’s still too early to tell.’

The truth is not just what you see with your eyes.

You can only understand the essence of an object by talking to it directly and watching it from up close.

This is a fact I realized from the time I grew up.

Perticia blinked.

Saaaaa!

The wind blew, and the world changed before my eyes.

Afterwards, the scenery returned to its original state, and she walked away with Rimmer.

The reason she came to the capital today was to look for items she couldn’t get last time. So, it was around the time she started walking towards her destination.

Suddenly Perticia stopped in place.

“Princess?”

Rimmer asked curiously.

However, no answer came back. Instead, Perticia fixed her gaze on one place. Rimmer also stared at that place.

“That… … .”

Luxurious black carriage.

After looking at the pattern engraved on the side door, Rimmer figured out who the owner of the carriage was.

“It’s the carriage of the Earl of Dermore’s family.”

“If it’s the Dermore family… … ?”

“This is a family famous for producing talented wizards for generations. “It is also a new family that recently joined the lord’s command.”

As information about the Count of Dermore began to flow out, Perticia’s eyes were fixed on a blonde girl who was close to him.

A girl who somehow looks a little thin.

Perticia, who was watching the girl with eyes as black as the night sky, let out a brief exclamation.

“There are many amazing things happening outside the imperial castle.”

“yes? What did you suddenly say… … .”

“I never thought you could survive in that condition.”

Sparkling eyes as if looking at a strange creature.

But that was only for a moment, and Perticia quickly lost interest. She then smiled, looking at Li Mer who kept tilting her head.

“it’s nothing. “Let’s move.”

“Oh, yes. “I will take you there.”

Rimer responded politely and followed suit.

So the two walked away. It was to head to today’s destination, the shopping district.

12.

Meanwhile, at that time.

The blonde girl whom Perticia had been eyeing opened her eyes wide and continued to express admiration.

“W-This is really South Square?!”

“That’s right, Jurpe.”

A middle-aged man who stayed by her side.

Count Dermore nodded.

He smiled comfortably as he looked at the girl who kept looking around as if she was curious.

Jurpe Dermore.

She is the daughter of Count Dermore, who was recently revived by receiving the power of the Abyss.

Immediately after being revived, he just slept all the time, but his body has improved a lot over the past few days, so today we went out together like this.

How long has it been like that?

Yurpe’s face, as she continued to look around, suddenly turned dark.

“Phew, it finally feels real now.”

After letting out a short sigh.

She muttered in approval.

“I really have been asleep for three years.”

When I first heard about this.

She couldn’t believe what the Count said.

It was natural. After sleeping for a while, I woke up and found out that 3 years had passed, so I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

However, when I came out to the capital and saw the streets that had changed, I realized it clearly.

It really has been 3 years.

Has time passed in the blink of an eye?

Feeling empty for some reason, Jurpe made a depressed expression. Then the Count grabbed her hand.

“It’s okay, Jurpe.”

“father… … .”

“Even though three years have passed, it doesn’t change the fact that you are my daughter. So, you can live your life doing whatever you want.”

Because this father will help you with anything.

The Count whispered with a serious face. Perhaps sensing his sincerity, Jurphe smiled brightly.

“Yes, thank you. father.”

At the end, a bright smiling face.

She looked at the street again. At that time, she was looking at Yulepe with such a happy face.

Food! Food Duck!

A pigeon in the square suddenly flew in and landed on the roof of the carriage. Up to this point, it wasn’t a big deal, but something surprising soon happened.

“Greetings to the Apostle of the Abyss.”

What came out through the beak was a clear human voice. It was a deep voice, presumed to be around the same age as the count.

“The punitive force has arrived at its destination.”

“If you have already arrived, is it the Principality of Arpen?”

“That’s right. “There is a distance to the eastern jungle, so it will likely take a bit more time.”

Even after seeing the talking pigeon, the Count continued the conversation naturally. After receiving the report, the Count immediately shook his head.

“i get it. “I’ll tell the owner.”

“Yes, I will await your orders.”

Lastly, use a polite tone.

The pigeon flew away clapping.

Then they joined the rest of the group, pecking at the feed placed on the floor. Just like an ordinary pigeon.

Meanwhile, right after receiving an unexpected report.

The Count placed his hand on his left chest.

“… … master.”

A single word slipped out of my lips.

He continued speaking with awe.

“It is said that the worshipers dispatched to the Principality of Arpen have reached their destination.”

Some time after the short report.

Along with a slight headache, an unknown voice shook the count’s mind.

【What is the size of the worshipers?】

Lacus claman duratus.

Howling eyes of the abyss.

He is the Lord of the Abyss who made Jurpe Dermore his apostle in return for reviving him. The Count continued speaking in a polite tone.

“A total of thirty-three. “There are thirty elite cultists and three cult leaders. Two of the cult leaders are mages and one is an expert-level swordsman.”

Continuing detailed reporting.

The Count recalled what had happened so far.

‘Yurpe comes back to life… … .’

A group of wizards came to the mansion.

The Abyss Worshipers.

As soon as they saw the seal on the Count’s chest, they fell flat on the floor and worshiped him.

“I see the great Apostle of the Abyss.”

Worshipers bowing repeatedly to the count.

Some worshipers even shed tears with joy on their faces. In this way, Count Dermore came to have a huge number of Abyss worshipers under his command.

Lacus’ instructions soon followed.

Select the most elite fighters from the Abyss Worshipers and divide them into two units.

Afterwards, each unit was dispatched to the Principality of Arpen and the great jungle of the eastern part of the continent.

‘There is only one purpose.’

Completely annihilating the ‘elimination target’ at each destination. The Count relayed Lacus’ instructions to the Abyss worshipers without exception.

Because the only person who could hear Lacus’ voice was his apostle, Count Dermore.

‘and… … .’

I just received a report from an Abyss worshiper who borrowed the body of a pigeon. The Count, who had come to this point, pressed his lips again.

“Great master. “I would like to ask you something if you are presumptuous.”

No sooner had he finished his question.

My mind rang once again.

【I will allow it. Apostle of burden.】

【What are you curious about?】

“Even if this is the case for the Principality of Arpen, I don’t understand why the eastern jungle is targeted for removal.”

【What does that mean?】

“The opponent is an insignificant sub-race. “It would be easy to kill him even if he hired an assassination squad instead of worshipers.”

There are two targets to be eliminated as instructed by Lacus.

One of them is the royal family of the Principality of Arpen and a famous person that the Count had heard rumors about. So I could roughly guess why they wanted to remove it.

‘On the other hand, the second target for elimination is… … .’

It was a name I had never heard before.

Of course. Because he was a mercenary based in the eastern jungle. He is not even a human, but a despised sub-race.

Therefore, I was curious as to whether there was a need to mobilize Abyss worshipers to eliminate them. It was like using a knife to kill a cow to kill a chicken.

【It’s an insignificant sub-race.】

【It’s not wrong.】

Meanwhile, after the Count’s questions were over.

Lacus burst into laughter.

【Let me tell you one thing.】

【The insignificant sub-race you mentioned-.】

【Later, it turns into an annoying threat.】

At those words, the count opened his eyes wide.

This was because Lacus mentioned the word ‘threat’ for the first time.

【Sven Isaac.】

The second entity to be eliminated.

Lacus chanted his name in a voice filled with extreme hatred.

【He will hunt thousands of monsters in the future.】

【A hunter who will threaten the abyss.】

【It is right to nip it in the bud.】

【Above all, most definitely.】

The Count held his head.

This is because the longer Lacus’ voice continued, the stronger the headache came. While he was letting out a low moan, Lacus continued talking.

【The Principality of Arpen is also for the same reason.】

【A being loved by Mana.】

【Star Witch, Delia Arpen.】

【She must also be definitely excluded.】

After finishing a long speech.

Lacus closed his mouth for a moment.

As the Count’s face, crumpled in pain, returned to its original state, a whisper was heard again.

【Two of the six darknesses have disappeared.】

【On the other hand, the star that brightens the abyss is alive and well.】

【Even the eighth star has appeared.】

Ending with a meaningful murmur.

Lacus spoke the last words.

【So, my apostle.】

【Extinguish the starlight according to revelation.】

【Only that-.】

【The abyss will be the path to victory.】

The Count bowed his head in silence.

As if he would obey his orders.

After a while, Jurpe returned to the carriage after finishing the sightseeing. Her father and daughter boarded the carriage in harmony, and she soon headed to the mansion.

Eventually, as the carriage departed, the pigeons that had gathered in the square flew away with a flap of their wings.

However, not everyone flew away.

Only one. The pigeon that had sat in the carriage earlier and talked to the Count had suddenly become a cold corpse, rolling around on the floor.

Kwasik! Crack!

A pigeon that had been crushed by the wheels of a carriage turned into a red mark. Just like that, the pigeon’s body quickly disappeared from the world.

Without receiving any attention from anyone.

13.

And that night.

Ulan and Noah arrived at the carriage stop only after the sun had completely set. It was to board the carriage returning to Arsene Academy.

“Whew, how did I end it?”

Noah breathes a sigh of relief.

The two wandered around the capital from morning to evening, engrossed in the search.

And the result.

Noah obtained all fifteen remaining hidden pieces, and even obtained most of the ingredients needed for the cure.

“The remaining ingredients are herbs that can be found at the Academy, so go back and look for them.”

“Well, let’s do that.”

Finally, Ulan’s answer.

Noah slumped his shoulders slightly.

Is it a sense of relief that all the work to do in the capital is over? Letting out a short moan she stretched her face with a pout on her face.

“Ugh, there are about 10 minutes left.”

The last carriage heading to Arsene Academy leaves at 8pm. If I missed this, I would have had to stay out again.

‘Of course, it doesn’t matter if that was the case.’

All you have to do is use the seal of Marquis Gorfant.

I also thought it would be good to stay in the capital for one more day. I couldn’t rest properly because I was looking for the hidden piece for two days.

‘and… … .’

I also wish I had stayed with Ulan a little longer.

Noah’s cheeks turned a little red as he remembered what happened last night. However, it wasn’t just her cheeks that were red.

“Noah.”

Ulan suddenly spoke up.

He said with a serious face.

“What is that?”

“huh? “Which one?”

“Your breasts have turned red.”

What does that mean?

At the inexplicable answer, Noah tilted his head and looked at the direction Ulan had pointed.

And I opened my eyes wide.

“… … uh?”

My chest is really getting redder.

To be exact, the inside pocket of my chest turned red.

No, what is this?

When Noah was confused, something happened that made her even more embarrassed. Suddenly, smoke rose and a bright red fire broke out.

“… … !”

A sudden change.

Noah shouted in surprise.

“Boo, fire! It’s fire! wealth… … .”

However, the surprised cry did not last long.

Just as the embers were about to spread elsewhere.

Hot!

This was because Ulan’s huge hand completely covered the ignition point. Before long, the embers disappeared, and Ulan spoke as if to reassure him.

“It’s okay now. “I turned it off.”

“… … .”

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

She covered her chest with both hands and glanced at Ulan with a somewhat sullen expression.

“You look like nothing happened.”

“Because nothing happened.”

The only damage was slightly scorched clothes.

It was correct to say that nothing had happened.

Noah, on the other hand, shook his head. As if she didn’t ask that. Then she suddenly pushed her chest forward and asked.

“Uh, how was it?”

“what?”

“I’m a bit surprised too, right?”

“There is one?”

“Do I have to say that for you to understand?!”

“If you don’t tell me, you won’t know.”

Oh really! I’m dying of frustration.

Noah pounded his chest. Meanwhile, Ulan turned his attention to other areas.

“More than that, why did the fire suddenly start? Was there anything in your inner pocket that could catch fire?”

“no. Just a talisman… … .”

Just as I was shaking my head and answering.

Noah’s eyes widened. Immediately after saying the word talisman, something came to mind.

She rummaged around in her arms with a puzzled look on her face, and soon found the half-burnt amulet.

“This, this!”

The identity of the amulet is self-defense.

It is an amulet that was originally a pair with the one given to Delia on her return to the principality.

However, the effect was completely different.

This is because Noah’s self-defense device only had the effect of turning into ashes to indicate when the other self-defense device was used.

‘In other words, this thing burned… … .’

This means that Delia used a self-defense device, which could be interpreted as a problem with her safety.

When I realized this fact.

Even more shocking news was delivered.

[warning]

[Trial of the Hero – Partial Failure]

[Challenge: Delia Arpen]

[Time remaining until trial failure]:

*71 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds

A system notification that appeared out of nowhere.

Immediately after encountering this.

Noah’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
