The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 38

(One)

Chapter 12. Enrolment

One.

Sunday morning.

Arsene Academy’s freshman library.

Ervan Jugen, a first-class civil librarian, leaned back in his chair and smiled comfortably.

Tweet! tweet!

The sound of birds chirping.

He leisurely sipped his coffee while enjoying the warm sunlight shining through the window.

‘I’m lucky this year.’

There are a total of seven libraries in Arsene.

First of all, there are five undergraduate libraries that only those belonging to each department can use.

Next is the central library next to the main building. Lastly, it is a freshman-only library that only freshmen can use.

Erban took charge of this library exclusively for freshmen this year. And this is the most competitive workplace among the academy’s librarians.

The reason was very simple.

Because there is less work than other libraries.

‘And one more thing.’

There are special advantages unique to this place.

The point was that there were almost no freshmen visiting the library until the midterm exam schedule came out.

‘Well, it has to be that way.’

Most new students tend to make friends or focus on lectures. It wasn’t long after I entered school that there were few people who came to the library.

Of course, there were exceptions.

“I’m here to apply for a rental.”

A girl with gray hair and glasses.

She looked like she had studied quite a bit, and the amount of books she brought was literally a mountain.

“You mean all of this?”

“Ho, are there any rental restrictions?”

“Hmm, that’s not it…”

“Then please.”

The girl bowed her head politely.

Sometimes there are new students like this. These guys are so motivated that they borrow a lot of books. Perhaps the girl is one of those types.

After completing the rental ledger.

Erban added a note of caution.

“Please return it by Sunday of the following week at the latest. “If you miss the deadline, you may be subject to penalty points.”

“all right.”

After answering, the girl stacked the books in her backpack. She then left the library.

The library has become quiet again.

Erban glanced at the rental ledger.

【1st grade, class 3, Shilpi Rudhina】

-History of the ancient desert kingdom

-About the disaster in the desert

-Definition and types of paganism

Books mostly related to the southern desert.

Erban had a curious expression.

It was worth it. In the current empire, all books about the southern desert were banned because they were said to be related to paganism.

‘Of course, this is not imperial territory…’

Still, this is the first time I have seen a case where only banned books are rented out so openly. But his curiosity did not last long.

Jing!

Immediately after the bell on the door rang.

This is because a large shadow suddenly appeared.

At the same time, Erban’s face hardened.

“······You came today as expected.”

Eyes filled with tension.

His eyes were fixed on the freshman in front of him.

It was a familiar face. Because that student had been going to the library every day for three days.

‘Ulaanbaatar.’

To my surprise, I even memorized their names.

No, I had no choice but to memorize it.

Height: up to 2m. Moreover, he was the only student who always walked around with his top off.

“Good morning.”

“ha ha ha. good morning.”

After an awkward greeting.

Ulan immediately announced his business.

“Can I ask for a recommendation today as well?”

As soon as the question is finished.

Erban made a solemn expression.

The reason he reacts this way dates back to three days ago, when Ulan first visited the library.

At that time, Ulan immediately made this request.

“I want all the knowledge about weapons.”

A truly unexpected request.

However, Erban was not embarrassed. Because he is a first-class librarian. So he recommended a book that met Ulan’s needs.

A total of 800 pages─.

Encyclopedia of Weapons.

‘however······.’

The next day, Ulan visited the library again.

I was getting nosebleeds out of nowhere.

Then he said it wasn’t what I was looking for and asked me to recommend another book.

‘So I recommended a related paper.’

Over a hundred pages of papers.

I thought I would be satisfied with this.

But what is this?

Yesterday morning, Ulan came to the library with a dying look on his face. She even had a nosebleed. Then she said this wasn’t what she was looking for either.

‘I don’t know why you’re bleeding from the nose.’

If I don’t get the book I want today, won’t I show up tomorrow covered in blood?

A strange fear came over him.

On the other hand, my pride was hurt.

He is a first-class historian. He is an elite who received a doctoral degree from Arpen Public University. However, freshmen can’t even find the books they want.

‘I’ll definitely find you this time.’

Definitely with the honor of being a first-class official!

Erban was motivated.

Then he looked straight at Ulan.

“Can I ask for a more detailed explanation? For example, the name of the weapon, or the weapon used in a certain battlefield…”

“I don’t know the name of the weapon. “I don’t even know if it was used on the battlefield.”

A firm answer came back.

Are you trying to joke with me?

If you don’t know that, how can you find it? As he twitched his eyebrows, Ulan’s mouth opened.

“but······.”

“but?”

“I wish it were the most powerful weapon in the world. Enough to not break even when fighting giants.”

After a rather serious answer.

The hall was suddenly filled with silence.

‘No, what are you saying? ‘Giant people?’

Those giants that appear in old stories?

Are you kidding?

Erban had an absurd expression. But he couldn’t bring himself to ask if it was a joke. Because his eyes were too serious for that.

“Ah, perhaps such weapons are only those that appear in myths or legends?”

It was a wise response in its own way.

The only weapons that can deal with the giants that only appear in mythology are the weapons in mythology.

But then.

A large palm hit the desk.

Coo!

A desk that vibrates strongly. When I was startled, Ulan shouted in an excited voice.

“That’s it!”

“······Yes, old times?”

“That’s what I was looking for.”

Ulan smiles happily.

On the other hand, Erban looked dejected. It was just a rough answer, but I had no idea it was the correct answer.

However, the embarrassment was short-lived.

Anyway, I found the book I wanted, so that’s it. Erban handed him a note with the shelf number written on it.

“Then, let me recommend the book [Legendary Weapons in Mythology]. Find the trainee librarian on the east side of the third floor and show him this.”

“Thank you for the recommendation.”

After bowing my head.

Ulan quickly disappeared to the third floor.

The venue quickly became quiet.

Erban sighed in relief and sipped his cold coffee. Then her eyes brightened.

It suddenly occurred to me that I had made a mistake.

‘Oh, you recommended another book.’

A legendary weapon in mythology.

From his memory, there are a total of two books with that name. One is a book in the form of a thesis. The other is recommended books for children.

And the one on the third floor is the latter.

‘Shall I go and tell you right now?’

But then he shook his head. When you come back later, you can explain it again.

Leisure returned again.

I was just about to read a book leisurely.

Jing!

The door bell rang again.

For some reason, there are a lot of students visiting the library today. Ervan closed the book he had just opened and raised his head.

And it hardened right away.

“······!”

The person reflected in his eyes was a petite girl.

The owner of silver hair tinged with moonlight and golden eyes that shine like the sun.

Princess of the duchy, Delia Arpen.

With her appearance.

Erban immediately left his seat.

“Wow, Your Majesty!”

Of course it had to be that way.

Ervan is a nobleman from the Principality of Arpen.

Although she was only a baronet, to him Delia was of noble royal lineage.

“Ervan Jugen meets His Majesty the Princess…”

“hello.”

But at that moment.

Delia’s greeting was one step ahead.

Ervan closed his mouth as he bowed his head politely. It was because she understood her intentions.

This is Arsene Academy.

It is the world’s only neutral zone. So, this probably means that you should not be treated like royalty here.

Immediately after realizing this.

Erban sat down again.

“Yes, hello.”

After exchanging somewhat awkward greetings.

Silence came.

Delia stares at him with her mouth closed.

Erban, unable to bear this silent look, asked in a cautious tone.

“······Is there anything you are looking for?”

“Just now, giant.”

“yes? “A giant?”

Why is everyone looking for giants out of nowhere?

When I tilted my head.

Delia’s voice was heard.

“Where did you go?”

“ah! “Are you looking for a Ulan student?”

“that’s right.”

I asked just in case, and it was the same.

In fact, from Delia’s perspective, Ulan could easily feel like a giant. Or maybe it’s just a nickname.

“I went to the east side of the third floor. “The trainee librarian is probably nearby.”

“thank you.”

After saying thank you.

Delia disappeared at a brisk pace.

Toward the stairs toward which Ulan heads.

2.

Meanwhile, at that time.

Ulan received a book from a trainee librarian.

This is the exact book Erban was talking about.

【Legendary weapon in mythology】

-Recommended books for future warriors!

-Explosively popular with children under 7 years old!

Warrior. Those words convinced Ulan.

I think I found the right one this time.

So I immediately turned the page. After a while, Ulan muttered curiously.

“There are a lot of pictures.”

There are more pictures than words.

No, it’s mostly just pictures.

More than 80% of the pages were illustrations, and below them were the names of the weapons and brief descriptions.

Ulan was relieved by this fact.

If every page had been filled with letters like the book recommended yesterday, my head would have been so overloaded that I would have had nosebleeds.

‘That won’t happen this time.’

Ending with a satisfied smile.

Ulan turned the pages.

The first thing that came out was a sword that appears in mythology and is one of the three sacred relics of the Holy Kingdom.

“Holy sword Cadaron.”

It is a familiar weapon to Ulan.

A companion from a past life and one of the seven warriors.

It was the sword used by Paladin Ian.

‘It was definitely powerful.’

No matter how hard the monster’s skin was, it was easily sliced. Also, the durability was quite good.

However, Ulan could not use it.

Part of it is because he doesn’t want to take away his colleagues’ weapons, but it’s a more fundamental reason than that.

‘To use the holy sword, you need divine power.’

It also has to be pure divine power.

Because those without divine power cannot use the true power of the holy sword. And without true power, the holy sword is just an ordinary sword.

After shaking off my regrets.

Ulan turned to the next page.

“This······.”

This time, it is a weapon with a familiar appearance.

A bow made from spirit wood. It is a longbow that boasts a large size.

‘God’s Archer Elisiker.’

The warrior party’s sniper, Sven’s bow.

It is a bow made of wood imbued with the power of spirits, and has the advantage of being able to be used even without arrows.

‘but······.’

This too is an unusable weapon.

Communicating with spirits was essential to dealing with Eliseekers. However, due to Ulan’s characteristic of being a spirit that hates the smell of iron, I was unable to attempt communication with him.

Ending with the memories of my past life.

Just as I was about to turn the next page.

“Are you interested in that?”

A familiar voice knocked on my ear.

A dry, stuttering tone.

It was Delia.

She glanced while raising her tiptoes and continued speaking with a strange expression on her face.

“It’s our country, a national treasure.”

When I thought about it, it was like that.

Even in the past life, the hero party was able to obtain Eliseeker thanks to Delia’s almost stealing by claiming to be a princess.

Right after recalling old memories.

Ulan looked back at Delia.

“Do you have any business for me?”

“Nothing in particular.”

Delia shakes her head.

But the clear answer only lasts for a moment.

she asked with worried eyes.

“······Are you okay?”

“A body?”

“I heard that the fountain of magic went missing.”

A missing person incident that occurred three days ago.

Of course, everyone returned safely, but this incident became quite famous within the academy.

It would be natural for her to know.

Ulan answered immediately.

“Nothing happened.”

“lie. “You said you were hurt?”

“it’s okay now. Because everything is healed.”

This was thanks to the ‘hero’s imprint’.

As Noah explained, since the engraving was engraved, physical strength recovery has become much faster. The wound healed faster than before.

And the result.

All scars disappeared in three days.

“You’re welcome, I’m glad.”

Delia let out a small sigh.

It was a sigh of relief.

With this, silence came again.

Delia wiggled her fingers and rolled her eyes. As if she was looking for something to say.

But soon his complexion brightened.

It looks like he thought of something to say.

“Have you finished registering for the course?”

Arsene Academy course registration is only available from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays.

The application method is simple.

After each person wrote a list of courses they wanted to take, went to the relevant classroom, received confirmation from the professor, and that was it.

The current time is 11:30 am.

Most students have completed course registration.

It was the same with Delia. Perhaps Ulan would have applied long ago. So he naturally thought of asking what class I had signed up for.

But the answer that came back was different from what I expected.

“I plan on doing it a little later.”

“······what?”

Delia’s eyes widened.

I thought I finished applying a long time ago, but I still haven’t done it? She asked back in confusion.

“Aren’t you anxious?”

“Why should I be anxious?”

“It’s a popular lecture, I’m sure it’s full.”

“Then you can choose something else, right?”

“That’s true, but…”

She was speechless and slurred her words.

This is because registering for courses usually involves signing up for courses where you can get good grades, or courses in which you are confident.

On the other hand, Ulan was different.

The tone of voice is that it doesn’t matter which lecture you choose.

Delia narrowed her eyes.

‘Does this mean that I am confident no matter what I hear?’

It was very likely.

Ulan was the top passer. There’s definitely a part of me that believes in it, so I guess that’s why I’m reacting like that. Delia decided that way.

“Have you decided on the course you want to apply for?”

“I did pick a few for now.”

“Can I ask you something?”

Delia carefully hands over a notebook and pen.

Since there was no need to hide it, Ulan nodded willingly. Then she scribbled down a list of classes she would sign up for later in her notebook.

◆Military Studies

[Weapon skills], [Combat skills], [Tracking skills]

“My major is military studies.”

For some reason, it seemed like that.

Delia nodded silently.

The following is a list of lectures for the minor.

◆General Department

[History of Weapons], [War History], [Higher Mathematics]

The moment I saw this.

Delia’s eyes widened.

I was surprised that I chose General Studies as my minor, but I was even more surprised that it included lectures that I had never expected.

“High school, math?”

Ulan? Are you applying for math?

Even if it doesn’t suit you, it doesn’t suit you very much.

Delia, who could not contain her curiosity, asked with a curious face.

“Are you good at math?”

“I know how to do it to some extent.”

A confident expression.

It’s surprising. It didn’t seem to have anything to do with math.

Delia looked at Ulan with new eyes. Meanwhile, Ulan clenched her fists.

‘Now addition and subtraction are perfect.’

Even mental calculations for numbers below two digits are possible.

There was nothing more to learn about addition and subtraction.

‘So now, slowly…’

You could learn multiplication.

The pinnacle of mathematics that even Azuh, who taught addition with more than two digits, did not teach us!

When bright red eyes shined defiantly.

“Ulan.”

Suddenly, Delia called my name.

It was with a somewhat coy tone.

“Aren’t you applying to the Faculty of Magic?”

“I have no intention of learning from that.”

“······why?”

“That’s because you don’t have to learn.”

A firm answer came back.

To be precise, since I didn’t even know the principles of magic, I couldn’t even learn it in the first place. And even if he could learn it, Ulan had little interest in magic.

The reason was simple. Because swinging an ax was much easier and simpler than chanting magic.

Meanwhile, with the answer that came back.

Delia’s face showed some disappointment.

It was a time when I was feeling gloomy for some reason.

“······uh?”

There was something that caught my eye for a moment.

Right at the end of the notebook.

There, written in Ulan’s handwriting, was the name of the lecture, ‘Practical Hunting.’ As I was looking at this in confusion, Ulan’s answer soon came back.

“That’s on hold.”

“What does it mean?”

“Just in case there is a class that you cannot register for, I saved it as a replacement.”

Stella, the professor in charge of practical hunting.

She said this to Ulan when we met at the entrance examination special test center.

Even if the river is full, we will accept at least Ulan, so apply at any time.

It was appropriate to leave it on hold.

Meanwhile, after hearing Ulan’s answer.

Delia suddenly smiled strangely.

“okay. “I’ll take note.”

“what?”

“There is such a thing.”

Delia gives a vague answer.

Since he wasn’t particularly curious, Ulan didn’t ask any more questions. When silence came again, Delia turned her body at an angle.

“Then, later…”

see you later.

Originally, I wanted to say that.

But I couldn’t finish the greeting. Because of an unfamiliar voice that came one step ahead of me.

“what? Ulan?”

A voice full of surprise.

With that, Ulan and Dilia’s gaze returned. The person who appeared there was a pale blonde girl holding a sword full of textbooks.

It was Ibella Eleaad.
