A Barbarian Was Admitted To The Academy Chapter 1 Novels & Stories

"This is as close as we go. The barrier is invisible but extremely powerful. It keeps rogues and other threats out of Academy grounds." Students crowded forward to look. Some reached out to touch the barrier. Their hands pressed against something invisible and ripples of light appeared where they touched. "Stay alert," Miss Milly warned. "The barrier is strong, but rogues test it constantly. They-“ A loud crack split the air and everyone jumped. The barrier flickered, light flashed across its surface like lightning then it shattered. A massive wolf burst through. It was a rogue, judging but its wild red eyes and foam dripping from its jaws.

Maybe being the talk of the academy had a tiny good side after all. Even if the bad side overshadowed it, having someone openly declare their support felt genuinely nice.She walked to her next class with a small, happy smile. The smile vanished when she returned home after her final lecture and dropped onto the bed to begin reading one of the books Adrian had left her. The title was simply Mages. Her curiosity was certainly piqued—she was desperate to learn everything about her genus. She couldn’t get past the first ten pages, though. It was a dense history of the first mages, the ancient political blah-blah-blah, and before long, her eyelids were fighting a losing battle.

The skies darkened as the mountain path ended. Before him stood the gates of Caelron Academy—no ordinary threshold, but a monument carved by time and magic itself. Towering obsidian spires flanked either side, etched with ancient runes that pulsed like a heartbeat. The gates didn’t open with creaks. They shuddered, as if they sensed the weight of who approached. Wind roared. Lightning cracked above. Not from a storm—from the barrier woven into the sky itself.

Chapter 2: Awakening in the Den My eyes fluttered open to a world that felt wrong, like I'd stumbled into a dream I couldn't wake from. The air was thick and earthy, smelling of damp stone and smoke from flickering torches. I was lying on a rough bed of furs, my body aching from the chase through the woods. Every muscle screamed, but it was the heat inside me that scared me most—a slow burn starting low in my belly, spreading like wildfire. What the hell had happened? One minute I was hiking alone, trying to outrun my shitty city job and the emptiness it left, the next I was running from... wolves? No, not wolves. Men who turned into wolves. And that guy—Thorne—he'd saved me, but his eyes, t

Before they could even shift, they were thrown back out…bodies hitting the ground below with sickening force. Dead. I turned back to Barry and smirked. “It seems your men have failed. Leave now, and I’ll let you live.” He laughed and sent two more. I saw Bryce sprint toward the castle. His mate was inside. He wouldn’t let her face that alone. “Don’t worry,” Barry taunted. “I have plenty of men to hunt that child.” Then he raised his arms and screamed, “ATTACK!” They shifted mid-charge. So did we. Fur ripped through skin. Bones snapped and reformed. The battlefield erupted in snarls and chaos. The war had begun.

My eyes flutter open, and the dim glow of lanterns above casts flickering shadows across the ceiling. I’m in the academy’s infirmary. It takes a moment for the realization to fully settle. My mind is slow, sluggish, as if weighed down by something heavy and unseen. I turn my head slightly, wincing at the dull ache that pulses through my leg. Rows of beds, hastily arranged, fill the once-open space. The usual order of the school infirmary has been replaced by a chaotic sprawl of injured students.

The cold wind whipped through my hair and clothes as we descended, the familiar, sprawling shape of the academy coming into daunting view. My heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs. What on earth was I supposed to tell them? That I had snuck into the forbidden woods in the dead of night, nearly been roasted alive by a territorial wolf, and somehow ended up bonding with the most intimidating, ancient dragon I’d ever laid eyes on? Yeah. That would go over well. Below us, the courtyard was already alive with morning movement—students heading to early classes, a few professors on the steps, security patrolling the main gates. A scene of perfectly normal, routine academy life.

Chapter 9 – The Monster That Knelt The beam of dark energy reached the terrace in the blink of an eye, tearing through the night with enough force to split the clouds overhead. I instinctively raised my arms, knowing full well that such a meaningless gesture would never stop an attack powerful enough to shake an entire academy. Before despair could take hold, the air around me froze. A towering wall of crystal ice erupted from the stone beneath my feet, so massive that it completely blocked my vision. The Void beam slammed into it with a deafening explosion, sending cracks racing through the enchanted barrier as shards of shimmering ice scattered across the battlefield. A heartbeat later, a

Ivy lets out a small genuine laugh, her posture finally relaxing as we move through the classroom corridors. I came to this place expecting a cold, survival of the fittest nightmare, but within twenty-four hours, I’ve somehow managed to acquire a loyal tracker and a sweet rebel wolf who hates pack bigotry as much as I do. It makes the looming shadow of the academy feel slightly less suffocating. Yet, despite the pleasant distraction of Lucian’s tour and Ivy’s chatter, my thoughts annoyingly keep drifting right back to Damon. Knowing he’s some deposed northern prince makes my zero-spark summoning session feel even more pathetic. Of course the universe would saddle me with the guy who was lite
