The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 392

Later: Ulan Bator (complete)

One.

The season where winter is coming to an end.

Although there was still some time left until school started, Arsene’s main auditorium was crowded with many people.

Today is a day that only comes once a year.

Because it is the day when the graduation ceremony is held.

“ha.”

While the graduation ceremony is in progress.

Professor Ethan Arnoff looked at this and sighed. He had the most relieved expression among those gathered in the main auditorium.

“Really, this is something you will live to see for a long time.”

“Iknow, right. “I never thought a day like this would come.”

Professor Stella Natalia, who was next to Ethan, also had a new look on her face.

There was a reason why I felt emotional as the students I had taught were graduating, but there was another reason that was even bigger.

This is because the person I thought would never graduate was standing on the podium in front of me.

“… … Ulan.”

Valedictorian, Ulaanbaatar.

The second barbarian student to graduate from Arsene, following Noah Darshen last year.

A monster of monsters that can easily be called the strongest. After finishing reminiscing about Ulan, Ethan burst out laughing.

“The continent will be in turmoil from now on.”

“On the other hand, it will be quiet here.”

Stella also laughed lightly.

Then, all of a sudden, he closed his mouth and stared at Ulan on the podium. Her eyes were filled with a mixture of emotions, and she touched her lips.

“Actually, I wasn’t that bad.”

“hmm? “What are you talking about?”

“I’m saying the time I spent with Ulan at the academy wasn’t that bad.”

“… … “Are you sane?”

“That’s what it says. “You know the feeling of being both refreshing and strangely sad, right?”

At those words, Ethan closed his mouth for a moment.

Because I understood what it meant. However, the time for empathy was short. Ethan looked at Ulan again and answered in a low tone.

“But when you have to let it go, you have to let it go. “The academy is too small to accommodate that guy.”

“That’s right.”

A smile formed on Stella’s lips.

Apart from the conversations with the professors, the graduation ceremony went smoothly. This is thanks to the student council president who was hosting the event with his witty remarks.

“Okay, then the next step is for the graduate representative to come out and start giving a speech… … .”

Then at that moment.

The student council president suddenly closed his mouth. He glanced at Ulan and corrected her words with a clearing of his throat.

“Hmm! That’s what it says on the schedule, but I’ll skip this. “There are no plans to replace the windows in the main auditorium this year.”

The students burst into laughter at the joke-mixed words. Of course, none of the professors who remembered the entrance ceremony five years ago laughed.

In this way, Ulan’s speech was omitted, and the student council president, who was in charge of emceeing the speech, came down from the podium with Ulan. Then he spoke in a whisper.

“Congratulations on your graduation, senior.”

“thanks.”

“What. Oh, more than that, can you just tell me where you are going?”

“that… … .”

“Well, you’re probably going to the Empire.”

Just as Ulan was about to answer, the student council president smiled sheepishly, as if he had guessed on his own. Ulan also kept her mouth shut and continued walking.

Some time after that.

Arsene Academy’s graduation ceremony, which began with concerns from some professors, ended safely without any major incidents.

2.

Meanwhile, the graduation ceremony was in full swing.

The area near the entrance to the main auditorium was so crowded that it was difficult to find a place to step. Family and friends gathered to celebrate graduation.

There were quite a few onlookers there too.

This is because graduates are often surrounded by famous people.

However, today there were especially many onlookers.

Of course. Because the biggest names in the world, which are difficult to see once in a lifetime, were gathered in one place.

The big man who first caught the attention of these onlookers was a young man with navy blue hair.

His handsome appearance was one thing, but what attracted more attention was the young man’s status.

“Hey, isn’t that the Paladin Master?”

“What is the Sword of Eloden doing here?”

“Do you know any graduates?”

Paladin Master of the Holy Kingdom of Eloden.

The saint’s escort knight, Ian Marcus.

He is renowned for having talent and skills that surpass those of previous Paladin Masters, and is a magnate whose reputation is at its peak.

Meanwhile, Ian just looked at the main auditorium with a relaxed expression, paying no heed to the whispers of the onlookers.

The change in Ian’s expression began immediately after a familiar voice knocked on his ear.

“Ian?”

A silver-haired girl approached at a brisk pace.

A mysterious being with large golden eyes and pointed, elongated ears.

The Archmage of the Stars, Delia Arpen.

Ian smiled happily at the appearance of a colleague he had not seen in four years.

“Haha, it’s been a while. Delia.”

“You came earlier than expected, huh?”

“Yes, I was on leave. By the way, Delia is still the same. “She looks very different from four years ago.”

The moment I gave a friendly greeting.

Delia’s eyes suddenly became cold.

“… … “What do you mean?”

“Of course I mean it in a good way!”

Ian, who realized that he had made a mistake, smiled awkwardly and waved his hand. Fortunately, Delia didn’t take Ian’s words seriously.

“Rather, what about Laurea?”

“I’m a little late because I drank too much yesterday.”

“He hasn’t changed.”

Delia sighs softly.

Afterwards, as I was chatting with Ian, someone suddenly spoke from behind.

“Hello everyone.”

A voice that came without any pretense of popularity.

Delia perked her ears as if she was startled, and Ian also flinched. However, he took a moment to check the other person and became angry.

“Sven! How have you been?”

“I just lived normally.”

Myoman hunter, Sven Isaac.

He became a nobleman of the Seren Kingdom and was more famous by his nickname, Shingung (神弓) instead of his name.

In fact, the moment Sven revealed his presence, there was a momentary commotion in the hall.

“Anyway, it looks like the graduation ceremony is coming to an end. Is this all you’ve got yet?”

“Oh, that’s… … .”

The moment Ian was about to explain the whole story in response to Sven’s question, the front door suddenly became noisy.

After a while, a familiar presence was felt, along with a much larger number of onlookers than before.

“I’m almost finished speaking.”

Ian bursts into laughter.

Along with his mumbling, someone emerged through the crowd.

A beauty with golden hair down to her back and turquoise eyes. She found Ian waving at her hand and came straight over to her.

“Wow, it’s been a while everyone.”

Swordsman, Ibella Eleaad.

He is called the sixth sword of the Ruben Empire and is a strong master who is said to have long ago surpassed his father, Istan El Deorg.

Of course, these words are only limited to those who are not related to her, and to the warriors gathered here, she was nothing more than a comrade in arms.

After a short period of time after the sea.

Ibella’s gaze turned to Delia, who was also present. What followed was a brief snowball fight and Bella pressed her lips to his.

“I guess you came prepared?”

“Suddenly, what are you talking about?”

“I’m asking you if you are ready to accept the result and calmly return to your principality.”

“joy. “Who, what, what, what sound.”

Delia snorted.

Ibella also responded with a cold smile and a voice as cold as her face.

“I’m looking forward to it. “In just a little while, we will be able to put an end to this long, bad relationship.”

Gazes meeting in the air.

Ian smiled awkwardly as he watched the intense clash. At the same time, I remembered the letter Laurea had sent me.

On the day Ulan graduates from the academy, he will answer whose confession he will respond to.

At that time, Sven muttered briefly.

“Whether it’s a bad relationship or this place that ends it, we’ll have to wait and see, don’t you think?”

“… … “Don’t say foolish things.”

If women who were not chosen by Ulan start a riot, this will turn into reality.

Ian shook his head at the ominous sound he heard. Then I heard a familiar voice.

“Phew, they’re still in good spirits.”

A woman appeared with a sigh.

She approached, brushing her turquoise hair, and naturally placed her arm around Ian’s shoulder.

“I don’t even have the energy to argue like that. “Is it because I’m getting older?”

“It’s probably because I drink alcohol, not because of my age.”

“Hehe, that’s also true.”

Former saint, Laurea Lo Charpel.

She smiled pleasantly, as if she liked Sven’s answer. Ian also greeted me with a gentle smile.

“It’s been a while, saint.”

“I know. “I’m not a saint anymore.”

“Are you thinking of returning to the Holy Kingdom?” … .”

“doesn’t exist. “Why are you asking if you know?”

“The King told me to ask. Anyway, I’ll tell you that.”

Laurea looked at Ian, who was awkwardly scratching his cheek, and gave him a sad look.

“You still have a lot of trouble.”

“If you know, please come back and help me.”

“I don’t like it.”

Laurea answered in a light tone.

Ian laughed without realizing it.

It was a subtle sense of relief to see that she had finally thrown off the heavy shackles of being a saint and now looked like a woman of her own age.

And then.

I heard a familiar voice again.

“oh! “Everyone is here.”

A person wearing a pure white robe.

A woman of mysterious age with hair whiter than a robe and eyes as bright red as a hare. Ibella and Delia’s eyes widened at her appearance.

“Feh, Perticia?!”

“what? “Can you come here?”

Of course it was surprising.

Perticia Yves Al Ruben.

She was crowned as the next emperor of the Leuven Empire last fall. Perhaps he could be said to be the biggest figure among all those gathered here.

“yes! “I have an escort so don’t worry.”

Meanwhile, Perticia smiled brightly and pointed to the man in black robes who was with her. She was the Imperial Swordsman, Saxon Jul Orden, knight of the emperor’s guard.

“You managed to give me permission to go out.”

“… … “It’s better than sneaking out.”

“Ahaha, you’re having a hard time.”

Ian let out an awkward laugh at Saxony, who sighed.

“So this is what we all came together for?”

“huh? “Noah hasn’t arrived yet?”

At that time, Perticia, who was looking around, mentioned Noah, who was not there yet. Ibella and Delia frowned at those words.

“what? “Don’t you live around here?”

“And yet, you’re late, are you?”

“Originally, the closer you live, the more you can afford to be late, so you tend to be late more often.”

Perticia spoke as if defending Noah.

Ibella and Delia nodded because it made some sense. Until I heard Perticia’s words that followed.

“I understand because I am often late to state affairs!”

“No, you can’t be late!”

“… … “Lord Saxony, you’ve really worked hard.”

With Ibella screaming with an embarrassed face, Ian comforted Saxony once again.

It was around that time when stories were blooming again in such a noisy atmosphere.

A latecomer showed up.

“Phew, sorry everyone. “Isn’t it too late?”

A black-haired woman wearing red glasses.

This person boasts pale skin and a neat beauty that rivals those gathered here.

Last spring, it was Noah Darshen, a stranger who became a graduate student at Arsene Academy.

“Haha, it’s okay. “It looks like the graduation ceremony has just ended.”

“Just arrive earlier than Ulan.”

Ian and Sven welcomed her.

Meanwhile, Ibella looked at Noah’s face carefully and spoke as if she was worried.

“Is it better than that? “Isn’t it true that you don’t look like you?”

“Ugh, I’m done with the chores… … .”

“Then why are you having such a hard time buying it? “Just follow me to our county territory.”

“In that case, a principality would be better. “A civil servant is more stable than a contract worker from the count’s family.”

Ibella and Delia, who gave answers one after another, glared at each other again and bickered.

However, it didn’t last as long as before.

Because the door to the tightly closed auditorium was opened.

“I guess it’s over now.”

Shortly after Sven’s muttering, graduates began pouring out of the main auditorium.

Not long after that, a welcome face that brought life to everyone’s eyes also appeared.

The main character here today.

It was Ulan Bator.

3.

A little far from the main auditorium.

Everyone sat around a round table in the middle. Ulan bowed his head as he looked at his colleagues who attended his graduation ceremony despite their busy schedules.

“It’s been a while, everyone.”

“That’s right. “It’s been 4 years.”

“You haven’t really changed either.”

Following Ian, Sven also burst into laughter.

As if I never thought I would be barebacked on a day like this. After a while, Ulan shared his thoughts with everyone.

A lot of memories and stories were exchanged, and it was finally coming to an end. Ulan brought everyone together and brought up a business.

“I have something to say to everyone.”

At that moment, the hall was silent.

The tense tension that followed. Perhaps it feels more intense than a decisive battle with the abyss. Ulan, whether aware of this or not, continued her speech.

“I’ve finally decided on something I’ve been worrying about countless times. So I created this place to share my thoughts with everyone.”

A voice full of strong determination.

Did you feel this? This Bella nodded her head and smiled softly.

“Yes, let me know when you’re ready.”

“I will follow Ulan’s will.”

“Hehe, can I look forward to it?”

“I’ll wait for your wise decision!”

Following her words, Delia, Laurea, and Perticia each added their own answers.

Noah only nodded, but his eyes shined as intensely as the other four girls.

With everyone’s eyes on you.

Ulan quietly closed his eyes.

‘A lot has happened in the meantime.’

Afterwards, I reminisced about how it took me to get here.

The days when I faced the abyss.

Memories of life spent at the academy and receiving confessions from the five girls one by one. From the crisis of repeating a grade to the moment of graduation.

As Ulan went through numerous processes, he had many different worries compared to his past life. Meanwhile, Noah gave this advice.

“I think simply.”

One day, I was taking a walk with Noah.

She said to Ulan:

“You don’t have to be particularly considerate of everyone, so Ulan moves as his heart tells him. “It’s better for everyone, including me.”

Noah’s advice was very helpful.

Thanks to this, Ulan was freed from the shackles of worry and realized what he was truly pursuing.

And at this moment.

It’s time to tell everyone about the decision you made. Ulan opened his eyes and immediately opened his mouth.

“I am… … .”

In a quiet atmosphere.

Everyone swallowed dry saliva. After a moment that felt long passed, a word filled with firm determination flowed out.

“I want to go to graduate school.”

And that moment.

Everyone turned into a stone statue. Neither his facial expression nor his voice came out as hard as stone.

“… … what?”

Ibella was the first to come to her senses and asked back with a still dazed look on her face. Then Ulan continued speaking as if she had been waiting.

“The magic class I took as a minor last semester was quite interesting. So, I’m thinking of applying to graduate school at the Faculty of Magic.”

The answers continued like rapid fire.

Ibella hurriedly waved her hand.

“Now, wait! “Just wait a moment.”

“I don’t know what to say… … .”

“Was it about Ulan’s path?”

While facing the girls who were blankly asking questions.

Ulan answered seriously.

“okay. Because career path is important.”

“It’s important, but it’s still not this!”

At that moment, Ybella, unable to hold back, exploded.

She wasn’t the only one who exploded.

Delia, Laurea, and Perticia, who was always smiling brightly, also had twinkles in their eyes.

In an atmosphere that suddenly became cold and frozen, Ulan asked back with a bewildered look, as if to prove that he had plunged his mind into the abyss.

“hmm? “What do you mean it’s not?”

“Confession, confession! “You said you would answer our confessions when we graduate.”

“Oh, you mean that.”

Ulan’s eyes widened slightly.

As if I just realized it now.

Then the atmosphere began to fill with tension again. It wasn’t as bad as before, but this time Ulan understood the situation properly.

In the eyes of anticipation and tension─.

Ulan said with a serious face.

“Actually, I haven’t made a decision yet. So someday, when I graduate from graduate school… … .”

“Tie it up!”

Take Ibella’s cry as a signal.

Ulan’s limbs were bound with all kinds of magic and sorcery. The girls, who quickly overpowered him, spoke as if muttering, with their eyes half rolled back.

“… … “Do you know how long we’ve been waiting?”

“It’s been four years. No, if you include the time when we fought against the abyss, it’s been over 5 years.”

“But are you telling me to wait here again?”

“I can’t wait! So make your choice now.”

“In the first place, you will never graduate from graduate school if you just fill up the time like at the academy! “Save people!”

The girls, who had reached the limit of their patience, ran away and the venue turned into chaos. Sven laughed as if it were absurd at this sight.

“It’s a mess.”

“That’s right. still… … .”

“… … ?”

“I feel a little relieved inside.”

“What are you talking about?”

“If Ulan had chosen one of the five, this relationship would have broken down.”

Someone who wasn’t chosen would have given up on Ulan, and someone else would have done anything to take over Ulan.

Such a relationship would only lead to catastrophe.

Therefore, Ian was relieved that Ulan had deferred his decision. Of course, Ian was the only one who thought that way, and Sven had a slightly different opinion.

“I think it’s already broken?”

The chaos that Sven’s finger pointed at.

There were no passive girls waiting for Ulan’s decision.

There are only monsters that run wild and lose their senses. At that time, the situation became more intense when the captured Ulan broke free of his bonds and ran away.

“Run away! “Don’t miss it!”

“Catch it no matter what!”

Girls rolling their eyes and chasing Ulan.

Sven, who was watching this scene, took some time to realize the seriousness of the situation.

“Don’t you think we should stop it slowly?”

“I will help. “If the academy turns into ruins because of us, it will be difficult in many ways.”

The five girls running wild in front of me are monsters who have each reached the peak of their power. Even if just one of the five goes crazy, there is no one in the academy who can stop it.

The situation quickly calmed down due to the dissuasion of Sven and Ian, who realized this belatedly.

Some time after that.

After several days of struggle and negotiation, Ulan was finally able to get what he wanted.

4.

Ethan felt like he was dreaming.

For some reason, I went to the professor’s lab to ask for help from the Department of Magic, and there I encountered an unexpected person.

“… … “Why are you here?”

Interview to select graduate students for the Department of Magic.

Because Ulan, who must have graduated last month, was sitting there proudly. To Ethan’s question, Ulan responded indifferently.

“I applied as a graduate student.”

“Please get out!”

“I still have a lot to learn.”

“I don’t have any, so get out!”

“It’s not you who decides that…” … .”

“Just get out!”

I thought the continent would be in turmoil due to Ulan’s graduation, but the academy ended up causing an uproar.

Ethan even screamed as the blood in his neck rose, trying to somehow get Ulan out of this place.

Of course, the seeds didn’t work either.

“I don’t like it.”

Negative returned with a firm tone.

Ulan replied with a grin.

“Because I like it here.”

“This is crazy… … !”

As Ulan spoke, Ethan’s face gradually turned bright red. Then, without even being able to say her words, she collapsed.

“professor! Come to your senses, Professor!”

“Go and get the stretcher quickly!”

A laboratory turned upside down.

Since it was not the atmosphere for an interview, Ulan walked out of the lab, leaving behind Ethan, who was foaming at the mouth and fainting.

“I’m looking forward to the future.”

From now on, it will begin in a new form─.

Dreaming of the days at the academy.
