Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 505



505. Can I say that I protected him?

***

As time goes by, the Academy.

As with everyone, the weekend was always a day to look forward to.

Day off.

A day of rest.

Play day… .

No matter what meaning it has, the weekend brings great peace of mind.

“What should I do to relax today?”

Darsha, who was talking blankly, burst into laughter.

The exam period was over with the end of this week, and while I was resting, there was no pressure on my mind.

Even though today is Sunday and we have to face a new week tomorrow, how can we relax even today?

Thinking positively, I threw myself on the bed again.

Phew.

Although the matrix was a bit hard, it was still good.

Even though my long hair is a little annoying as I roll around, I wonder how I will spend the remaining time.

‘I’m going to make a big decision and go to a restaurant.’

It’s not that the menu at the cadet cafeteria isn’t delicious, but since it was the last day of the weekend, I wanted to spend today a little luxuriously.

It’s not unreasonable to eat a little extravagant meal with the money you’ve saved.

“Okay, I’ve decided.”

I decided and got up.

He immediately straightened up, brushed away his disheveled hair, and opened the door.

Crash.

I wondered how far I walked as I left the dormitory with excitement.

Murmur.

Suddenly, a commotion was seen coming from somewhere within the academy.

“what? Is there anything happening this weekend?”

I looked at it out of curiosity, but didn’t think much of it. My heart is full of joy at the thought of eating delicious beef… .

Again.

Suddenly, my steps stopped.

Blink blink.

“……”

Even as I blinked my eyes blankly, the sight reflected in my eyes was very unrealistic.

Yeah, it was unreal.

First of all, it was red.

It was completely dyed bright red, as if I was seeing the most alien sight in the world. It caught my eye so strongly that I couldn’t move towards my original destination, the restaurant.

For a moment, I narrowed my eyes and concentrated my gaze, but soon, without realizing it, I started to accelerate my pace.

“…crazy.”

What… happened?

I had no idea how to make it look like that, but it felt like my mind was turning completely white.

That was a guy.

‘Han Tiansheng.’

It was clearly a guy, but I saw a woman urgently holding him and walking away.

-Golden Knight Isabelle Eleanor.

She had become quite famous since she arrived at the academy, and she was just as red as Han Tiansheng.

Both of them had a bizarre appearance, as if their entire bodies were covered in bright red blood.

…I don’t know what was going on, but it didn’t feel like a good thing at all.

“oh… .”

“W-what is it?”

As the distance narrowed, I became anxious as I heard several cadets’ voices filled with astonishment.

‘What on earth is going on…’ .’

Why are you looking like that again?

“I’ll pass by for a moment.”

As Sir Isabelle’s cold voice echoed through the space, my body seemed to freeze as I barely approached.

Chubbuck.

As the sound of her red-faced steps rang out, everyone, including me, could not even say anything.

“……’

I just stared blankly.

The sight of him in Sir Isabelle’s arms.

It was as if I had been covered in bright red blood, and I couldn’t recall any of my usual facial expressions.

The cadet uniform was tangled up here and there, and it felt strange to see how it was torn.

Just a few days ago, the brightly smiling face of this guy flashed before my eyes, but suddenly today I could only see his strange appearance.

That’s really… .

Because it doesn’t even have the slightest bit of reality. I pinched my side without realizing it.

“…”

As I moved my body in a daze in a small pain, I saw Sir Isabelle slowly moving away.

Chubbuck, Chubbuk.

She seemed to have no time to spare as she walked quickly, as if blood was smearing the ground.

So I started walking without realizing it.

…I felt like I needed to know.

What on earth happened, why is he unconscious and covered in blood like that?

It felt like my heart was sinking, and my cold, frozen body moved on its own.

Again.

***

Weekend Academy.

Inside, which should be filled with a bright atmosphere, strange rumors spread very quickly.

It was a rumor about Han Cheon-seong, who returned to the academy.

The rumor that he was unconscious, covered in blood and being held by Isabelle, spread throughout the academy, and most people were deeply curious about the rumor even though they did not know the circumstances.

The center of all accidents that have ever occurred.

And because it was his nature to suffer the most damage in many accidents, everyone felt even a little anxiety.

I wonder if something has happened again at the Academy, which has been quiet for so long… .

That’s when another uproar occurred at the academy on the weekend.

In fact, there was a very deep silence in the nurse’s office.

Sreuk.

Sreuk… .

The sound of cloth carefully rubbing against skin rang out.

“……”

Adelia let out a light breath and was carefully wiping Cheonseong’s entire body with a pure white cloth.

No matter how much I wipe it,

Even if I wash it clean,

The thick blood engraved on his body could not be easily erased.

There were traces of red stains all over Cheonseong’s body, as if there were dark traces left behind.

“……”

Adelia’s feelings as she saw him in her eyes were indescribably complicated.

Sigh.

Unlike Adelia, on the other side of the nurse’s room, Erfe was cleaning up the blood-smeared interior, and Isabelle, blinking blankly, could only watch.

He no longer had the bright red blood-stained appearance or the bright red cadet uniform. He had just changed into pure white clothes and was not yet conscious.

Even though she was breathing hard and knew that there was nothing wrong with her body, Adelia stared blankly.

Then her lips gently opened.

“What Sir Isabelle is saying is… Cadet Han Cheon-seong dealt with an apostle.”

“yes. “It happened out of necessity.”

“…Why on earth did you leave the academy?”

As Adelia did not take her eyes off Cheonseong’s body while wiping him with a cloth, Isabelle let out a deep breath as she looked at Adelia.

She was confused about it now too.

‘Should I have stopped it?’

Thinking about whether I should have persuaded him to leave the academy, I couldn’t quite figure out what was right.

After hearing that there was nothing wrong with my body, I was able to calm my mind, but I didn’t know if this was a good result.

“You can’t tell me?”

“Because he… wanted to.”

“You wanted it. Why on earth did Cadet Han Cheon-seong try to leave the academy?”

It was a calm question.

It was by no means a harsh voice, nor was it the kind of voice that criticized me. Instructor Adelia’s voice definitely lacked any power.

Still, her voice sounded extremely heavy to me.

“…….”

Even though I pursed my lips, I had no idea how to explain it.

All he told me, although he couldn’t explain the exact reason, was that a crisis was coming and that he wanted me to stay by his side during that time.

He also strongly wanted to move out of the academy.

He said that now that he is no longer at the Academy, he does not want to cause harm to anyone else because of him.

Those were words with so much meaning.

Because when I looked at Leonhard in the past, I knew what kind of feelings and thoughts he had.

As someone who had been watching him from the side, I couldn’t have known.

It was like the most important values ​​that made up Han Cheon-seong. And it was a choice that reflected his character.

That… I couldn’t just block it and deny it all.

“You’re not answering… you’re not.”

Adelia remained silent in response to instructor’s disappointment.

‘I was then. Should I not have listened to him?’

…I couldn’t quite figure it out even now.

Obviously, his safety was more important to me than anything else.

Even more than my life.

However, the moment I met his eyes, which were desperately conveying his intentions to me, I could not stop him. Even though he was opposed to his desire to leave the Academy, they did not strongly stop him.

Even when I told him that it was safer inside the academy, he firmly stated his opinion.

“…I would think there are circumstances. But first of all, I’m glad that there’s nothing wrong with Cadet Han Cheon-seong’s body. No matter how much I wash my eyes and look for them, I can’t see even a small wound. “Right now, I guess I’m just sleeping soundly because I’m extremely exhausted.”

“thank you.”

“There is no need to be thankful. Sir Isabelle. “Even though I don’t know the details, I’m really grateful to you for protecting him.”

As I watched her eyes slowly meet my eyes, I was unable to answer again.

‘Did I really protect him?’

Can we really say that we have kept it intact?

“…”

My mind was blank.

At the moment of crisis, each of us confronted the apostle, and even though I was focusing a part of my consciousness on him at every moment, I was just doing what I had to do.

I didn’t really feel like I was protecting him.

Above all, when everything was over, I couldn’t erase the image of him that was so foreign from my mind.

The apostle’s body collapsing and blood pouring between it.

The man who had shown such a decisive performance that he could finish off the apostle on his own stood there blankly, catching the blood pouring out from under the apostle.

I didn’t avoid the blood, nor did I turn away from it.

I looked into his eyes that were so red and seemed so empty… .

Can we really say that we completely protected him?

smart.

Then, my thoughts were interrupted by a small knock.

“Erpe. “Don’t let anyone in.”

From noble mtl dot come

“…yes. “Instructor Adelia.”

Instructor Adelia’s firm voice caught my attention without me realizing it.

And I felt it.

…It’s as if I’m seeing myself in her right now.

That was the gaze that was endlessly directed at him.

It is by no means simply looking at him as an instructor and a cadet.

The emotions in those eyes… .

Because it will definitely be the same as me now.
