The Academy’s Barbarian Chapter 23

(2)

3.

After leaving the forest, Ulan headed to the dormitory.

This is because I belatedly remembered that personnel checks are conducted every morning. But to conclude, Ulan could not return to the dormitory.

-Ulaanbaatar, Dilia Arpen. Both students, please come to the Dean’s Office on the 9th floor of the Magic Faculty Headquarters Building immediately.

Dean of the Faculty of Magic, Deflin.

As soon as she was mentioned, Ulan had a rough idea of ​​the reason for the call.

‘special benefit.’

When taking the magic power detection test.

Deflin promised that if you completely retrieve the magic golem’s core, you will receive special benefits separate from your points.

Probably trying to keep that promise.

After realizing the situation, Ulan immediately changed his destination. But soon after he arrived at the headquarters building, a new problem faced him.

“no. “You can’t go in.”

These people suddenly blocked Ulan’s path.

They were guards guarding the headquarters building of the Faculty of Magic. And the reason why Ulan entry was denied was extremely simple.

“This is the ivory tower of wizards.”

“We can’t let you in dressed like that.”

“If you want to go in, put on some clothes first.”

The problem was clothing.

Ulan looked troubled at the guards’ words. When he left the meadow, he didn’t bring any clothes to wear.

So, as I was thinking about what to do, a familiar voice knocked on my ear.

“Ulan?”

Silver hair falling down in a clump.

Round golden eyes.

It was Delia Arpen, a girl as beautiful as a sculpted doll. She, too, must have come after hearing Deflin’s call.

Meanwhile, Delia tilted her head.

An expression that asks why you are standing like that. Ulan, who read this at once, answered honestly.

“They say you can’t go in dressed like this.”

“ah.”

Delia nodded as if she understood.

She soon approached the guards. She then spoke in her characteristic blunt tone.

“I have an appointment with Diphlin.”

“No matter how much you promise…”

“It’s difficult to let him in dressed like that.”

The guards were confused.

At that time, one guard opened his eyes wide.

As if I realized something too late.

“Wait, Deflin?”

It’s a familiar name. Of course.

Diphlin Chernio was the name of the owner and dean of this magic school building.

After a while, the three of them, who were conversing with stern faces, asked in cautious tones.

“······Are you by any chance Ulan and Dilia?”

“exactly.”

“that’s right.”

Ulan and Delia nodded. Then I glanced at the clock. It was an indirect pressure that I might be late for my appointment.

And it worked.

“Whew, I can’t help it.”

“I will allow you to enter specially just this time.”

“For now, if you’re in a hurry, just put this on, and next time, wear it properly.”

The dean cannot deny entry to a student who has been called directly. The guards reluctantly allowed the two to enter.

With a thin leather cloak.

Perhaps it was a consideration to cover up the naked upper body. After accepting this, Ulan went straight into the headquarters building.

Afterwards, the two boarded an elevator powered by magical power. Delia suddenly spoke to me in the elevator moving slowly towards the 9th floor.

“Why aren’t you wearing clothes?”

“Because it’s uncomfortable.”

The reason Ulan didn’t wear clothes was because he wasn’t used to the feeling of leather or fabric rubbing against his skin.

I also didn’t like the pressure that was squeezing my forearms, chest, and shoulders. But if you take it off, all problems are solved. So he went naked.

“It’s cold, isn’t it?”

“I don’t normally get cold well.”

Because his body is strong enough to be said to be blessed. Also, if you get used to activating the spirit, you can handle quite a bit of cold and heat.

Meanwhile, after Ulan’s answer.

Delia scanned Ulan’s body with sparkling eyes. Her eyes were filled with wonder, as if she had discovered a creature she had never seen before.

【Arrived at the 9th floor.】

【After a moment, the door opens.】

The elevator has already reached its destination.

When the door opened, a cool, long hallway came into view. The dean’s office was at the far end of the east side, so the two walked briskly.

Then.

Delia spoke again.

“Is your shoulder okay?”

Why are you suddenly asking about my shoulder?

As Ulan looked at him curiously, Delia recalled yesterday’s memories and spoke.

“You got hit by a golem.”

“I? when?”

“Yesterday, you were protecting me.”

Was it like that? Ulan scratched her head.

I remember hitting the golem with my fist, but I don’t remember getting hit in the opposite direction.

Of course, there was some physical contact with the golem in the process of wrapping Delia. However, I would not use the expression that it was only that much correct.

‘Because there was no blood and no bones were broken.’

According to Ulan standards, a wound is considered a beating if the skin is torn and the bones are crushed. Other than that, it’s just a passing glance.

Therefore, I only thought that I had briefly touched the golem, but I did not think that I had been hit.

So what on earth did you get hit with?

Ulan looked at her with a puzzled face, as if he didn’t understand. And Delia was equally embarrassed.

‘what? ‘Why do you pretend not to know?’

Ulan was clearly hit by the golem.

That too! Loud enough to make noise.

Even though it happened just yesterday, why are they reacting like they don’t know? As if trying to treat yesterday’s events as if they never happened.

Just as I was thinking about this.

Suddenly, a guess crossed my mind.

‘ah! if······.’

Are you trying to be considerate of me?

It could be that he is trying to make yesterday’s incident go away as if it never happened so that he wouldn’t feel like he was hurt for no reason.

No, this is the most likely hypothesis. Otherwise, there is no way you would show this attitude.

‘I guess I was oblivious.’

Contrary to what it looks like, it has a delicate side.

With that thought, Delia quickly closed her mouth. She had decided to accept Ulan’s consideration out of gratitude.

Meanwhile, since Delia didn’t say anything, Ulan ignored it too. Thinking she must have been mistaken for another guy.

Around the time I was walking down the hallway in silence.

This time, Ulan spoke first.

“Delia.”

“Uh, huh?”

“Do you have any idea about the special benefits Dean Diphlin was talking about?”

The moment Deflin’s name was mentioned.

Her expression hardened.

“I don’t know. but······.”

“but?”

“······I have a plan.”

The opponent is that Deflin.

No matter how special benefits were promised, they would not give them away.

There must be a dark ulterior motive.

Delia was so sure.

After some time, the two arrived in front of the dean’s office. Immediately, something caught the attention of the two.

Deflin’s note attached to the door.

The message was for people to come in one at a time.

“I’ll go in first.”

“i get it.”

Because the order doesn’t really matter.

So I gave up my turn.

After about ten minutes had passed.

Deflin’s voice came from inside.

“Come in, Ulan.”

It looks like the conversation with Delia is over.

Ulan went straight into the room. But strangely, Delia was nowhere to be seen.

“What about Delia?”

“If it was that child, he would have left first.”

Deflin answers with a bright smile.

She pointed to a separate elevator located in the corner of the dean’s office. That probably means it went down through that.

“First of all, congratulations on passing as the top student.”

“Thank you.”

“Without further ado, I’ll get straight to the point. “The reason I called you is to give you the special benefit I promised you last time.”

Ulan’s prediction was correct.

He waited silently for Deflin’s words. And soon her mouth opened.

“I will grant you one wish.”

“wish?”

“Yes, of course I will only listen to what is possible. Just one. “There is no option to postpone it until later.”

It means to speak here.

Ulan stared at Deflin in silence.

‘It’s a wish.’

If you want it, it is there.

The real reason Ulan entered the academy.

This is the clue to reaching the ‘state of superhumanity’. And to find information about ‘the most powerful weapon in the world.’

I heard that all the knowledge in the world exists at Arsene Academy.

‘Then there must be clues or information stored there that can help one reach the level of superhumanity.’

Ulan believed so.

So, just as I was about to speak honestly, I closed my mouth again. The reason was in Deflin’s eyes.

‘······Eyes that are aiming for something.’

In his past life, Ulan experienced various events and gained a certain degree of insight into people.

And now, Difflin’s eyes resembled those of an eagle owl. The gaze of a hunter looking at his prey.

When I was quietly observing this.

Delia’s words suddenly came to mind.

It means that Deflin has something up his sleeve. So Ulan quickly came to a conclusion.

‘I’d better not say this.’

Let’s hide the matter of becoming a superhuman for now.

Let’s say a wish other than this.

Just as I was starting to think about new things, Deflin suddenly spoke up.

“You don’t have to think about it difficultly.”

A voice that continues in a friendly way.

A voice as sweet as honey touched Ulan’s ears.

“You just have to tell me what you want most right now. And if it’s something I can handle, I’ll listen right away.”

“······.”

If it were Ulan before his regression, he would have been shaken. Her voice was so sweet and somehow attractive.

However, it did not work for the current Ulan.

He let Deflin’s words pass through one ear and continued to ponder without wavering. Then he quickly made a decision.

“I’ve always lived dressed like this.”

“yes?”

“Maybe that’s why it was hard for me to get used to wearing clothes. So, I hope you allow me to walk around freely dressed like this.”

Ulan finished his answer by recalling the time when he was denied entry by the guards earlier.

Deflin asked back as if he was taken aback.

“Uh, is that your wish?”

“Yes.”

“Is there anything else you want?”

“does not exist.”

A series of firm answers.

Deflin frowned.

“Don’t just give a cut-and-dried answer, but think about it a little more. For example, don’t you want a way to build up magic power quickly or a rare magic book?”

“I am satisfied with this wish.”

You already know how to build up magic power quickly. All you have to do is swallow the devil’s core. And the magic book was also completely unnecessary to Ulan.

“Is this an impossible wish?”

“Oh, no. That’s as much as possible.”

Deflin shook his head.

“But are you really satisfied with this? really? “Opportunities like this don’t come around often, do they?”

“That’s enough.”

“Phew, I understand. “Then, I’ll tell the guards so that you can start walking around in that outfit starting today.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

Ulan bowed his head slightly.

On the other hand, Deflin sighed.

As if something I was preparing didn’t go well.

4.

Sigh! thud!

With the sound of the door closing.

Ulan left the dean’s office.

Pretending to be popular is getting further and further away. Eventually, when the presence completely disappeared, Deflin fell down on his desk.

“Hey, it’s not going down.”

Deflin pouted his lips with a sullen face.

Her original plan was this:

First, use the wish to find out what Ulan wants. Everything, regardless of whether it is an object, a person, or knowledge.

And after obtaining it one step ahead, I planned to use it as bait to encourage cooperation in various research…

“I think it made me wary.”

I never thought I would make a wish like that.

Deflin frowned.

That’s not all.

Unlike when I saw it at the test site yesterday, I didn’t feel any magical power from the Ulan I saw today. Even the two vessels of mana that were located in the small intestine disappeared everywhere.

“It was probably hidden on purpose.”

There is only one reason.

Because he is wary of Deflin. He may see it as a loss because he only increased his vigilance for no reason, but that doesn’t mean he only suffered a huge loss.

Because I realized that what Ulan was hiding was not just the Mana vessel.

‘He’s hiding his true skills.’

It erased all traces of magical power to the point where it fooled the eyes of Grand Wizard Diphlin, and furthermore, even the vessel of mana was completely hidden.

This cannot be explained unless you have outstanding skills. Unless, just in case, he destroyed the Mana vessel himself.

‘Also, the fact that the horsepower measurement showed a result of 100 horsepower must have been intentional.’

One hundred horsepower is the minimum requirement to be called a wizard. It is impossible to adjust these numbers to fit exactly 100 unless it is intentional.

‘to sum it up······.’

Ulan is wary of Diphlin.

And his magic skills are so outstanding that he can completely hide the mana vessel he holds in his possession.

Lastly, I don’t know why, but he is hiding his skills on purpose. The proof is that exactly 100 horsepower was measured in the horsepower measurement.

It could be summarized like this.

“The more you look at him, the more interesting he is.”

The corners of his mouth rose slightly in a smile.

In my mind, I want to take him to the lab right away and learn more about it. Everything from head to toe.

But that wasn’t possible.

“There are too many eyes on me now.”

Nowadays, Uhlan has become a prominent presence.

He passed the entrance exam at the top of his class.

In addition, two professors from the Department of Military Studies were coveting him, and Bergé, who could be said to be Arsene’s second-in-command, was also keeping an eye on Ulan.

Deflin well knew that hasty action in this situation would do more harm than good.

“Well, I guess this will be fine for now.”

So I decided to take it easy.

Ulan is a freshman who has just entered school.

There are four years left until graduation. There must be a way to get it to the lab somehow.

“I’m looking forward to the future.”

Difflin’s eyes burned like candles. It was the look in the eyes of a wizard, driven by curiosity and research.
