9.
A deep night with the moon hidden by clouds.
There was a group walking in a quiet forest.
A crowd of about twenty people.
They were armed with swords and shields. And at the center of the group was Noah, a black-haired girl holding a book with an amulet attached to it.
‘Ugh, how did things end up like this?’
Until just an hour ago.
Noah was in the library.
Together with Ibella, he drove out the white wolf’s clone and protected the librarian Ervan. Of course, half of his reading room was destroyed in the process.
‘and then… … .’
I met Professor Ethan outside the library.
After evacuating the new students, he immediately asked Noah and Ibella to cooperate, and Ibella accepted and came to accompany Ethan.
Ethan had a good feeling.
I immediately realized that the culprit of this attack was in the eastern forest. So we immediately gathered people together and headed to the forest.
Noah was one of them.
At least it was okay up to this point. Since the white tiger has been released from the seal, there is no answer other than subjugation.
‘but… … .’
There are no Ulan and Dilia.
This fact bothered me. However, the anxiety was short-lived, and Noah quickly gained hope.
‘But won’t it come soon?’
The white wolf attacked the area around the eastern forest.
And most of the buildings around here are full of things used by freshmen.
Perhaps Ulan and Dilia have also noticed the attack by now and are heading towards the forest.
‘Then it’s okay.’
Even if you don’t join right away, you only need to join before you fight the white wolf. A time when I ended my thoughts with such hope.
Tuk! Toouk!
Noah’s body was pushed to the side little by little.
There is only one reason. This is because someone has been bumping our shoulders with each other since a while ago. Who are you? Noah glanced at the person who kept bumping her shoulder.
The other person was an unexpected person.
“Ibella?”
“… … ?!”
I’m afraid to call your name.
Ibella’s shoulders trembled loudly.
Just looking at it, I was surprised. Noah was even more embarrassed by the stronger reaction than expected.
“S-sorry. “I didn’t expect it to be that surprising.”
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
I just called your name.
Ibella cried and held Noah’s arm tightly. Noah, who is quick-witted, immediately grasped the situation.
“Are you afraid of ghosts or ghosts?”
“… … “Swords don’t work on ghosts.”
It was correct.
However, the reason for being scared was a bit peculiar. Noah chuckled at the unexpected appearance.
“are you okay. “There’s a shaman, so why worry?”
“… … “What does that have to do with ghosts?”
“It doesn’t matter. That’s because shamans deal with things similar to ghosts, which are called magic spirits.”
In other words, you can deal with ghosts.
Of course, Noah’s words were meant to comfort him in his own way, but Ibella seemed to have taken them with a slightly different meaning.
“Well, then you can’t believe you’re a ghost too…” … .”
“that’s right. “Right now, the talismans attached to this book are all talismans imbued with demonic spirits.”
Dealing with demonic spirits is no task.
So even if a ghost appears, don’t worry, I will get rid of it. Noah tried to say that. But Ibella’s reaction was different.
Sasasak!
Ibella distances herself from Noah.
For some reason, his complexion had turned pale. I guess there was some misunderstanding. Noah smiled awkwardly.
‘There’s a surprisingly human side to it.’
Ibella in the original work was not such a three-dimensional character. She was a weapon that always wore a mask and slaughtered enemies like a machine.
It was a time when I felt somehow fresh.
Rustle!
The bushes in front shook.
Ibella took a step back in surprise.
Then, the prosecutors, including Ethan, all stopped in their seats. In preparation for an unexpected attack. However, what appeared was a large crowd.
“Professor Arnov?”
I even knew who Ethan was.
Then Ethan also opened his eyes wide.
“Commander Roen? Why are we here… … .”
Roen Pillaud, commander of the Arsene Guard.
After the sudden encounter, Ethan and Roen, who were leading the two groups, exchanged information about what had happened and the reasons for coming to the forest.

“okay. Chasing the source of magical power… … .”
“It’s the same for us. “I came here while chasing the wolves that attacked the library.”
It was a time when everyone shared their information.
Noah’s eyes sparkled. It was because she noticed a familiar face in the group led by Roen. A silver-haired girl yawning lazily.
‘As expected, Delia is here too!’
With this, the number of names increased to three.
Although it is unfortunate that there is no Ulan, this is enough to deal with the White Wolf.
‘But why did you come to Sirpi?’
Sirpi Ludric.
A person who is presumed to have some kind of relationship with the white wolf, a member of Rudrik’s family. Noah glanced at Sirpi as if suspicious.
Then.
Suddenly, Sirpi opened her mouth.
“Hey, it’s over there! “I think I saw a huge wolf in the deep area.”
“hmm? “A huge wolf?”
“Oh, that’s actually… … .”
For Ethan, who did not know the situation, Roen relayed the story he heard from Sirpi.
The story is that there is a huge wolf inside the forest, and that it uses the fog to create all kinds of wolves.
The moment I heard this far.
Noah’s eyes narrowed.
‘… … Sirpi knows the white wolf.’
That too, quite accurately.
Noah recalled the speculation in the reading room.
Sirpi Rudric is a heretic belonging to the Desert Cult, and it is speculated that he may have entered the academy to tame a white wolf.
Of course, it’s good to know where you’re from.
However, the purpose could not be ignored. Because it was the exact opposite of the purpose Noah pursued.
‘White wolf must not be tamed.’
It must be subdued unconditionally.
That’s because the hidden reward comes out.
In particular, the heart of the white wolf had enormous value as a magic core. If you process it and consume it well, your magical power will double.
‘And the soul is also useful.’
If you extract the soul of a white wolf and work with it, your status as a shaman will jump two levels. Then you can use more powerful spells.
So I had no intention of giving in.
When Noah’s eyes sparkled.
“We’re moving again!”
The party resumed their advance.
In the direction given by Sirpi.
How long did it take to walk like that? Every now and then, a unique sight caught my eye. They were huge piles pulled out of the ground and rolling around.
“What are these stakes…” … .”
“It looks like something was sealed.”
Seal stake. Ethan, who immediately guessed the identity of the stake, turned around again. She realized that something ‘dangerous’ had been released from the seal.
Some time after that.
The group arrived at the heart of the forest.
What soon came into view was the entrance to the crypt. Then, I felt a terrifying power from within.
Roen immediately frowned.
“… … “It’s incredible horsepower.”
“What on earth is inside…?” … .”
Ethan also nodded in agreement.
As the two said, powerful magical energy flowed from inside the crypt. So much so that the hair on my entire body stood up.
However, this cannot be ignored.
Following Roen’s instructions, the party moved secretly and established a siege network.
“When the signal is given, approach little by little.”
Roen, who was in the lead, took a step forward.
Using this as a signal, the group gradually narrowed the distance.
But at that moment.
A loud noise was heard from inside the crypt.
bang! Quang! Quaaaang!
The sound of hitting something and breaking it. Everyone in the group stopped in their tracks at the sudden sound.
After some time has passed.
The loud noise gradually quieted down. It wasn’t just the sound that started to subside.
“Magic power… … !”
It disappeared at a fast pace.
An incomprehensible phenomenon. However, the strange feeling was short-lived, and Loen immediately regained his composure. This was something that could be quickly resolved by investigating the inside of the crypt.
So, around the time I was about to give the order to advance again.
Fight! Patter!
The pile of dirt at the entrance to the crypt was shaking.
As if something was trying to come out from within.
“Power on.”
Roen was caught by the sword due to an unusual phenomenon.
It wasn’t just that. Delia, who was at the rear, immediately concentrated the star’s magic, and Noah also floated an amulet in the air.
Slurp!
Ibella also half-drawn her sword.
A tense tension hovering over the battlefield.
Just as I was swallowing dry saliva without realizing it, the pile of dirt completely collapsed.
And after a while.
The group’s thoughts stopped.
“… … ah?”
There is only one reason. This was because the identity of the person who came out of the crypt was someone unexpected.
A man holding an ax in both hands.
He was a barbarian who was completely shirtless. And there is only one person who wears clothes like that at the Academy.
“Uh, Ulan?!”
No, why are you out there?
Noah shouted with a surprised face.
“Why are you here… … .”
Ibella was also embarrassed.
The other party members also reacted with quite a bit of confusion. When everyone was frozen in panic, there was someone who regained their composure faster than anyone else.
“… … Ulan Bator.”
A man who took a long step forward.
It was Roen Pillaud, the vice commander of the guards.
“I heard you were suspended from school and on probation in the dormitory. Why are you in a place like this?”
A question followed with harsh eyes.
It’s not a difficult question to answer. So I tried to answer in a nonchalant way.
But at that moment.
“Ulan!”
There was someone who suddenly came in.
It was Sirpi.
“Ho, didn’t you see the giant wolf inside? “It’s a huge wolf with white fur!”
A nervous and desperate look.
Ulan nodded in the affirmative.
“I saw.”
“Well, how did that wolf…” … .”
“I did it.”
“… … yes?”
The answer that it was done is not a lie.
Because the white wolf as a magical beast is no longer there.
Facing Sirpi who asked blankly, Ulan pointed to the inside of the crypt.
“If you don’t believe me, go in.”
Everyone will understand when they see the white tiger that has become a spiritual creature.
As soon as those words were finished, Sirpi immediately kicked off the ground and ran away. She is not the only one. Noah hurriedly followed her.
“Dangerous! “Come back!”
Roen shouted as if warning, but the two girls paid no heed. The two searched through the inside of the crypt, each with their own purpose.
But nothing came out.
I could only feel the traces of a gigantic being emitting powerful magical power.
“No way, no way, really…” … ?”
The white tiger hiding in the fog is one of the phantom beasts that lived in the ancient desert. This species is called the ‘fog wolf’ because when it dies, it disappears like fog, leaving no body behind.
And now.
There are only traces of the white tiger in the crypt, and the body has disappeared everywhere. What this means is that what Ulan says is true.
“Ha ha ha ha ha. Ahaha!”
ruined. Everything is ruined!
The empty laughter of someone who had given up on everything echoed hollowly in the crypt. At that time, Noah also belatedly confirmed this scene.
A sight where there was no magic core, let alone a corpse.
Embarrassed, she hurried out of the crypt.
Then he shouted at Ulan.
“Ulan! “Have you seen the magical core?!”
“I didn’t see it.”
“I’m just asking, just in case, what I broke was…” … .”
“Maybe so.”
Ending with an insincere answer.
Noah also slumped down in his seat.
As if I had heard something shocking. It was worth it. Because I missed the hidden reward right in front of my nose.
Noah and Cherpi.
A day when two girls despaired.
That was the end of the wolf incident that suddenly attacked the academy.
10.
After confirming the subjugation of the white wolf.
Ulan briefly explained what he had experienced in the crypt immediately after the fog began.
However, as the story got longer, the parts where the white wolf became a spirit creature, the Ax of Gluttony, and Gula were obtained were omitted. Because everything has become a hassle.
“This is everything I’ve been through.”
Ulan ended his answer by saying that he entered the crypt, fought a giant wolf, and won.
No one questioned this fact.
“… … “Hmm, I see.”
Roen nodded.
Looking at the reaction, it seemed like he understood to some extent.
“I understand first. “Then, let’s go back to the security headquarters and investigate further.”
Roen stood up.
However, the way he looked at Ulan was not at all favorable.
It would be worth it.
To Loen, Ulan was a problem child who broke the rules and always caused accidents.
“However, it is clearly a mistake to violate the probation order and come out arbitrarily. So, according to the school rules, I will take you to the security guard.”
No sooner had Roen finished speaking.
Several guards approached carrying thick ropes. At this sight, Ulan suddenly opened his mouth.
“I didn’t break any rules.”
“Just admit it. “The very fact that you are here means that you have broken the rules.”
“No, I just…” … .”
I was hungry because I didn’t have enough food, so I came to the forest adjacent to the dormitory to get some fruit.
If I broke any rules, it was just running into other people right after I came out of the crypt.
But this is force majeure.
Because we encountered them, not the Ulan, because they were visiting the crypt.
So, just as I was about to explain the situation.
Someone suddenly joined the conversation.
“No, Ulan is not at fault.”
With a firm voice.
A girl stood in the way, as if protecting Ulan.
Ibella Eleaad. En frowned at her sudden appearance.
“Who are you again…” … .”
“Ulan is a powerhouse of expert. So, they must have noticed the existence of the wolf before us and came to kill it.”
In a voice full of confidence.
Ibella defended Uhlan.
“To prevent further damage.”
After answering, she looked back and smiled. As if asking, ‘Really?’
Of course it wasn’t at all.
Ulan looked at her blankly.
‘I think there’s a misunderstanding… … .’
However, there was no particular rebuttal. The reason was simple. Because her answer seemed more plausible than giving a detailed explanation.
“But that’s speculation… … .”
“I think the same thing.”
Just as Roen was about to retort.
A new ally has appeared. A silver-haired girl who appeared wearing a cloak symbolizing a wizard.
It was Delia Arpen.
“If it were Ulan, it would definitely be like that.”
The faith in golden eyes.
Of course, Ulan looked puzzled. But again, he didn’t say anything.
‘I don’t know why.’
This was because he clearly felt that Ibella and Delia’s actions were for his own good.
The two actively defend themselves.
Ulan made a strange expression.
‘It’s an amazing feeling.’
In my past life, that place had always been Ulan’s seat. Because he always fought at the head of the pack to protect his comrades.
On the other hand, it was different now.
The sight of being protected by former colleagues. Although I felt a bit awkward because the situation itself was unfamiliar, it wasn’t a bad feeling.
At the time I was quietly watching this.
Roen’s voice was heard again.
“Ha, I completely understand the feeling of wanting to protect your friend. But it’s true that I broke the rules.”
Roen sighed and approached.
It had a somewhat threatening vibe.
“That’s why I have no choice but to take you. If you keep interfering like that, you too… … .”
“Isn’t that a bit much?”
A person who suddenly interrupts the conversation and appears.
Roen frowned at the appearance of a new disruptor. It’s because I’m starting to get irritated.
However, it was only for a moment that he confirmed the identity of the intruder and his face hardened.
“… … “Professor Arnov.”
Ethan Arnoff.
He was a professor in charge of teaching weapons techniques and one of the people who stood behind Ulan. He asked, stepping between Ulan and Roen.
“I haven’t committed a serious crime, so is there a need to tie me up with a rope and take me away?”
“He broke the rules.”
“Yes, I admit that. However, this incident was not caused by Ulan. Rather, it is closer to resolving the situation.”
Ethan’s words were correct.
Ulan is a person who helped solve the problem. Considering this, the arrest was unreasonable.
“Still, I broke the rules… … !”
However, Roen’s thoughts were different.
No matter how much you helped resolve the situation, breaking the rules was clearly a mistake. Therefore, it was correct to judge this separately.
This was a kind of stubbornness and belief he had as a unit commander in the security forces. But this time, I chose the wrong opponent.
“I think you’re misunderstanding something.”
A cool voice that tickles my ears.
Ethan continued speaking with a dry face.
“It was the inspection team that suspended Ulan. Therefore, it is the inspection team’s job to punish those who violate this. “Not the guards.”
“… … .”
Roen came to his senses.
This was a warning. A warning not to cross the line.
After a while, Roen regained his composure and nodded, biting his lip slightly.
“… … All right. “Let’s do that.”
“I’m glad you understand.”
Ethan grinned.
“It’s late today, so let’s do a detailed investigation tomorrow. “If we have to do it today, five inspectors will accompany us to the security guard.”
“No, the guards will stay out of this. “After the inspection team investigates what happened today, please organize it and send it to us separately.”
“Haha, then we’ll be comfortable with each other.”
After a strange war of nerves.
Roen turned around. With a face so stiff that it’s scary. After a while, as he walked away, Ethan came up to Ulan and tapped him on the shoulder.
“Good job. Everyone, go back to your dormitory.”
At this point, the situation is over.
However, Ibella and Delia seemed to have no intention of leaving. This is because there was something I was concerned about regarding Ulan.
“Hey, professor. “I have a question about the punishment Ulan received.”
“The suspension is too long.”
Delia said as if complaining.
Then Ethan chuckled.
“do not worry. “We plan to convene a committee immediately tomorrow to revise the punishment.”
“Really?”
“Yes, and the punishment for today’s incident will also be viewed as just a reflection, so don’t worry.”
Reflection. Ulan’s face hardened at those words.
It was natural. Because Ulan found it difficult to write anything. So in her past life, she would always ask Bella to write letters to her tribe.
So I asked seriously.
“… … “Can’t you just go to the security guard?”
“Haha, even a joke.”
I’m not kidding.
Ulan repeatedly said he would go to the security guard, but all he got back was Ethan’s laughter.
“Withdraw! “Everyone withdraw!”
“Everyone return to the academy!”
As soon as the withdrawal order was given.
The group returned to the academy, taking care of Noah and Sirpi, who were half unconscious.
Just like that, everyone disappears.
The forest was enveloped in a quiet silence.
But for a moment, a hazy fog suddenly rolled in front of the crypt. Then it quickly took on the shape of a wolf.
A white wolf with bright red eyes.
It was Mimu’s white wolf.
[…] … .]
The white wolf looked out of the forest in silence.
To be exact, a place where people disappeared.
The white wolf that was staring at that place returned in the form of road fog. Then he began to move quietly with the night wind.
Towards the place where Ulan disappeared.
