10.
Quint’s body split in half.
The body, divided in two, soon collapsed as if it were falling apart. With red-hot intestines and bodily fluids pouring out.
At the same time, countless eyeballs hanging from my neck rolled to the floor.
Tuk! Degurrr!
Magic eyes scattered like beads.
Among them, there was a magic eye that could see up to 5 seconds into the future, but Ulan turned away as if he had no interest.
‘A total of six with these.’
With this, all of the abyss worshipers mentioned by Noah were eliminated.
Still, you must not let down your guard.
In preparation for possible enemies, red enemies were used. Fortunately, there was no sign of anything special, so we were able to raise our guard only then.
After shaking off the blood and flesh from the axe, Ulan headed straight to Delia.
Delia is lying collapsed on the white wolf’s body.
It stayed still without even a single movement.
“Have you lost your mind?”
Perhaps it was relief that made him relax.
It may also be due to a magical shock.
Fortunately, his breathing and pulse were normal, so Ulan breathed a sigh of relief.
“I can’t help it.”
Immediately, I grabbed Delia’s back.
Then he immediately carried it on his shoulder. Because it was so small and light, it wasn’t particularly difficult.
“Okay then… … .”
What should I do from now on?
Now that the Abyss Worshipers are gone, it is safe to say that all threats have disappeared.
Should I go back to the academy like this?
Or should he find Professor Stella and join the other students?
At the time I was contemplating my choice.
Suddenly, I heard a sound that broke my thoughts.
Munch! Tsk tsk tsk!
It was the sound made by a white wolf.
A guy who picks things up and eats them like crazy.
What on earth are you eating?
The moment he glanced up out of sudden curiosity, Ulan frowned. It was because I immediately realized what it was.
What he eats are eyeballs. It was the magical eye that Quint wore around her neck.
To be precise, only the power and magic power contained in the demon’s eyes was completely drained, and the eyeballs were spit out again.
“Is that delicious?”
[Purring!]
The white wolf smiled as if that was the case.
After a short time has passed.
After finishing his own meal, the white wolf suddenly pricked up his pointed ears. Then she disappeared again, as if melting into Ulan’s shadow.
At the same time, the popularity was felt from afar.
Soon I heard a familiar voice.
“Ulan!”
Green hair and yellow eyes.
It was Professor Stella.
As she came through the bushes, her eyes widened in surprise. It was because she found Delia resting on Ulan’s shoulders like her luggage.
“D-Delia?! are you okay? “Are you hurt badly?!”
“I just lost my mind.”
“really? Ha, thank goodness.”
Stella is truly relieved.
However, the relief did not last long.
“This is not the time! “We must quickly go to the academy and request support.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“what? “Did you hear it from Delia?”
“what?”
“The monsters and illusions that have appeared in the forest now are all due to an attack by the Abyss Cultists… … .”
When he continued speaking in an urgent tone.
Stella closed her mouth.
I had no choice but to close it. Because now I have finally witnessed the scene unfolding over Ulan’s shoulder.
“… … !”
A battlefield full of blood and corpses.
The wizards presumed to be abyss worshipers all had their heads blown off or their bodies torn apart.
When I looked at this blankly.
Ulan replied softly.
“There are no more Abyss worshipers.”
The answer somehow sounds creepy.
However, this also sounded like an answer announcing that all threats had disappeared.

That simple voice for the last time.
The hellish night is over.
11.
The next day, after dawn.
Hunting trials were immediately halted.
At the same time, Arsene Academy was literally shaken up after receiving Stella’s report.
That would be natural.
With the sudden attack of the Abyss Cultists, it was revealed that their purpose was to kidnap the students.
Afterwards, an investigation team was dispatched to find out the truth, and the damage that occurred last night was soon calculated.
A total of five people died.
They were all members of a special task force tasked with escorting students.
Fortunately, there were no deaths among students. Most of them had lost their minds and were just trapped on the outskirts of the forest.
Is that why?
In this incident, it was announced that the students were safe because the special task force risked their lives to fight against the Abyss Cultist.
Of course, this is not true.
The real protagonist who confronted the Abyss Cultists was Ulan. However, the Military Studies Department, which first received the report, deliberately hid the truth.
The reason was simple.
If Ulan’s true skills were revealed, it would have been difficult in many ways. Fortunately, she had few witnesses, so it wasn’t difficult to make up a lie.
After finishing the false announcement.
The dean of the Military Studies Department, Bergé Erkazan, sighed as if he was confused.
“Whoa.”
It was because I felt uncomfortable.
No matter how much it was done for the sake of the empire and the military, it was an undeniable fact that Ulan’s contribution was taken away.
So, it was a time when I sighed repeatedly.
A middle-aged knight with blue hair who was guarding Bergé’s side suddenly spoke up.
“Don’t worry too much, Your Excellency.”
“… … “Lord Theorik.”
“If the day comes when Ulan joins the Empire, I will definitely understand. “This was for a great cause.”
Seorik al-Ghorfant.
One of the five swords of the empire.
Bergé responded to his consolation with a confused expression on his face.
“I wish so… … .”
“Of course it will.”
Seoric said with a grin.
Is it because of his comfort? The distraught emotions seen on Bergé’s face had disappeared quite a bit.
After a while, Bergé looked at Seorik.
As if I remembered something I had forgotten.
“… … “But you said it.”
“Yes, please speak.”
“Can I not go back to the front?”
Last month, after a duel with Ulan.
Unlike Count Deorg, who returned to his estate, Theoric still remained at the Academy.
Now that we have finally arrived near the capital, we decided to rest a bit more. Meanwhile, Seoric burst into laughter at Bergé’s words.
“The West will run just fine without me.”
“Lord Istan says the same thing.”
Anyway, the thing called Master.
Everyone is just crazy about fighting.
When I was looking at Seorik as if I was fed up, this time Seorik spoke first.
“More than that, Your Excellency.”
“… … “Why are you calling me?”
“Is the Ulan capture operation still underway?”
The moment the word inclusion was mentioned.
Seorik’s eyes turned fierce.
“You can’t hide an awl in your pocket forever. I think it would be best to bring it into the arms of the empire as quickly as possible… … .”
“Whew, I think I want to do that too.”
Bergé sighed.
As if he was venting his frustration.
“But as you know, the military currently does not have the resources. “It is because His Majesty Chartrand has made a decision at this moment.”
“Did you say fall this year?”
“Yes, just in time for the second semester to start.”
Bergé nodded.
At the same time, Seorik’s expression hardened.
“There will be bloodshed in the imperial family.”
“What are you doing again? “This always happened whenever the owner of the empire changed.”
Unlike Seorik, who had a serious expression, Berge burst into laughter. A dry smile that doesn’t reveal any emotion at all.
After a while, Bergé naturally turned the conversation elsewhere.
“Rather, if you’re free enough to stay in a place like this, please think about it too.”
“What kind of concern are you talking about?”
“It’s about the reward for Ulan.”
“What if it’s a reward?”
Seorik’s eyes widened slightly.
As if I had heard an unexpected answer.
“In some ways, this incident is like the special task force losing the credit, right? So, once this situation is over, I plan to give you an appropriate reward.”
This was a kind of consideration for Ulan.
At the same time, it was also intended to relieve discomfort. Then Seoric responded as if asking something so obvious.
“Ask yourself.”
“what? directly?”
“Yes, and then you have to find out if there is something you want or what your personal goals are.”
The moment I heard this far.
Bergé’s eyes sparkled. He understood what Seorik was trying to say.
“Right. If you know your purpose… … .”
“It can be used as material for future inclusion.”
Seorik grinned. The same goes for Bergé.
I thought it wasn’t a bad plan.
Just as the laughter had stopped, Seoric kissed his lips again.
“If it’s okay, please leave it to me.”
“Hmm? To you?”
“Yes, I have something in mind.”
Seorik’s eyes sparkled.
As if he had come up with a silver bullet.
12.
The evening when the official announcement of the Department of Military Studies was held.
Ulan visited a cafe with Noah.
It was to express gratitude to Noah, who had warned of the threat in advance through prophecy. He also tells me about what happened in the forest.
How long has it been like that?
“This is what happened in the forest.”
The long story is over.
Everything from being attacked by six Abyss Cultists to experiencing all kinds of illusions. Meanwhile, Noah pressed her lips to her tense face.
“Well, then the Abyss Worshipers… … .”
“They got rid of everything.”
Ulan replied indifferently.
Noah swallowed dry saliva.
It was worth it.
According to a brief mention in the original work, the six Abyss worshipers were all said to be at least advanced wizards.
‘But you got rid of them all?’
And without any injuries?
Noah looked at Ulan with new eyes. As if she wasn’t a master for nothing. And then she breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Anyway, I’m glad.’
Thanks to Ulan’s action, the turning point of Delia’s death was definitely avoided.
Now, until the Hero’s Trial arrives, there is no death tipping point for Delia.
At a time when I was once again relieved by this fact.
“Ulan!”
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.
A girl with light blonde hair came running towards me in a huff.
It was Ibella Eleaad.
She approached me with an urgent expression as if she had heard some news. Then she looked at every corner of Ulan’s body and asked.
“Gwae, are you okay?! “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“I am OK.”
“really? Ha, thank goodness.”
Ibella is truly relieved.
After a while, after calming down my breathing. She revealed the reason why she rushed to her place.
“I just happened to be on my way after listening to a presentation by the Department of Military Studies. But I heard that Abyss worshipers attacked the northern forest… … .”
So I went to Ulan in surprise.
Around the time when the whole story was revealed. Noah smiled brightly, as if asking why he was worried about such a thing.
“What’s there to worry about? Ulan is a master.”
“That’s true, but when I first heard it, I didn’t think of it. Anyway, I’m really glad you’re safe.”
Ibella smiled broadly.
Ulan also smiled silently. Because she could sense genuine concern in her answer.
That’s when the conversation ended.
Noah suddenly discovered something.
“huh? “But what is that?”
“Ah, it’s a letter from mom.”
Ibella poured out the letters in her arms onto the table. chunk. There are more than ten letters.
After a while, she lowered her head.
“… … “There is also a letter from the Count.”
A voice as small as a crawl.
It was a somewhat embarrassing reaction.
But just for a moment, Ibella suddenly took out a letter and handed it to Ulan.
“Here, take this.”
After suddenly receiving the letter.
Ulan tilted his head.
“Why are you giving this to me?”
“That’s because it’s a letter from Ulan.”
“To me?”
I looked at the envelope curiously.
It’s true. Ulan’s name was written on the addressee. The sender of the letter is Istan El Deorg.
He is one of the Five Swords of the Empire and the father of Ibella, who was defeated in a duel with Ulan last month.
Why did this guy send a letter?
Suddenly my curiosity arose.
“Can I read it?”
“Yes, as much as you want.”
As soon as permission is given.
Ulan soon opened the envelope. And the moment he took out the letter inside, his face hardened.
Quite thick.
I wondered if they had used thick letter paper, but my guess was wrong. It was just seven sheets of ordinary letter paper.
gulp!
After swallowing dry saliva without realizing it.
Ulan opened the letter briefly, then closed it. This was because he saw letters scribbled on letter-sized letters.
The moment I saw this far.
Sigh!
Ulan put the letter back in the envelope.
Then Ybella asked curiously.
“huh? “Don’t you read it?”
“I will read it slowly later.”
It will take a week to read it all.
Maybe it will take longer.
Around the time I put the letter in my pocket.
Ding! Sigh!
A bell sounded from the clock tower in the square.
A sound announcing that all lectures scheduled for today have ended. It was also the sound that signaled the hour mark of 6 p.m.
And the moment I heard the bell ring.
Ulan got up from his seat.
“I’ll excuse you first.”
“huh? “Are you going already?”
Ibella asked back as if she was surprised.
With a somewhat regretful expression.
It was natural. Since I had just met Ulan, I wanted to talk more.
“Do you have anything to do?”
“I have to stop by the hospital.”
“Oh, you want to meet Delia?”
As Noah said, Delia is currently hospitalized in the military department’s general ward.
The diagnosis was that he would have to be hospitalized for at least a week due to shock and depletion of mana due to excessive use of magical power.
However, that was not the reason for Ulan’s visit.
“No, they told me to come get tested.”
“yes? “A prosecutor?”
“What prosecutor? “You said you weren’t hurt?”
Noah and Ibella ask with surprised faces.
Face to face with the two girls, Ulan explained the tests he was about to undergo.
Unsurprisingly, Abyss worshipers are madmen who practice forbidden magic with polluted magic power.
Therefore, I was contacted to undergo a detailed examination as there was a possibility that it may have been affected by contaminated magic power.
Meanwhile, after Ulan’s explanation was over.
The two girls looked like they finally understood.
“Okay, if that’s the reason, I can’t help it.”
“Have a nice trip, Ulan.”
Ibella waves her hand with a regretful face.
After seeing the two off, Ulan turned around.
Toward the general ward of the Military Studies Department.
