Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 515
515. Impure Intentions
***
tuesday.
5 PM, the time on the border between afternoon and evening.
Cheonseong was currently meeting a completely unexpected woman at a cafe.
Although he normally would not meet or talk alone like this, Cheonseong was making time with Yumia right now.
It was because he was responding to the message that she had something to say when she came to see him.
And while a series of conversations took place.
“Cough!”
Cheonseong, who had been drinking for a moment, felt anxious.
“what. Are you okay?”
“Uh… Cough! Now, wait a minute, what did you just say?”
Even as I quickly caught my breath, I opened my eyes.
“I’m just asking you to tune in to me for a moment. That’s because I want to instill proper awareness in Leonhard. “Isn’t this such a difficult request?”
I was dumbfounded when I saw Yumia asking with soft eyes.
‘What on earth is this…? .’
Is this nonsense?
Even if it was true that he was sparring with me, I couldn’t accept the idea that he was going to skinship with me to make Leonhard jealous.
“no. “That is absolutely not possible.”
“…is it really not possible?”
I was even more shocked to see Yumia asking questions carefully.
“Then you’re going to fake it and say no? Yumia, you also made such a ridiculous suggestion to me. “I can tell you if it’s a sparring match, but as for what you say after that… I’ll just pretend I didn’t hear it.”
I answered calmly, trying to calm my confused mind.
Although I was so surprised that I could almost hear the sound of laughter for a moment, I understood Yumia’s feelings.
‘I’m sure Leonhard’s words hurt Yumia’s feelings.’
If you spar with me, you can grow, and it became a catalyst for me to regain my characteristics.
I could easily imagine the person who would have said such a thing without even knowing Yumia’s feelings.
Moreover, I knew what Yumia’s personality was like.
In the story, Yumia’s actions often come up, and even in this reality, she is the person who has the least sense of disconnect from the story.
Because that was Yumia.
‘He had a very jealous personality.’
And it was Yumia who had a strange personality and often showed unexpected and unexpected behavior.
Still, there was a line.
“No, Han Tiansheng. I also said it was skinship, but I really have no intention of doing something like that to you. “At best we can just hold hands.”
Even though Yumia explained with a straight face, I shook my head.
The more this happened, the more decisively I had to answer.
“But your intentions are very impure.”
“Impure, what on earth is impure?”
“Yumia… are you asking because you really don’t know?”
“No, we already have a clear relationship with each other. I have a lover right now, and Han Cheon-seong, you also have a lover. “You really think I might have feelings for you?”
I laughed again as I saw Yumia asking questions as if she was becoming more and more shocked.
It was true.
But that wasn’t important.
The most important point in Yumia’s words was off.
“Yumia. That’s not important. I’m just trying to stay in line. Even if I were to just hold hands with you like you said, Leonhard would be quite hurt if he were to watch.”
It is often called Yeokjisaji.
There was the easiest way to understand someone else’s feelings.
And if I see my lover, Miliana Karite, or any other instructor holding hands with another man… .
‘I really think I won’t like it.’
It felt like my heart went cold all at once.
So I couldn’t accept it anymore.
“…Will Leonhard be hurt?”
I felt it again as I watched Yumia answer as if she hadn’t thought of that.
It is said that he is so blinded by love that he cannot properly discern his interests. So, when he made this kind of friendly offer to me, I accepted it.
My cold heart was relieved a little.
“Yes, that’s it. It’s not possible. How about telling me directly instead? “If you sincerely explain to Leonhard why you didn’t like it and why you didn’t like it, Leonhard will understand.”
While rejecting Yumia’s suggestion, I suggested a slightly different method.
Rather, seriously, just run into that guy.
Acting like this just because you were hurt or upset only served to dull the trust you had in each other.
“Ha… you don’t know.”
But when Yumia shook her head with a deep sigh, I was left dumbfounded.
…I thought this was the best and the best answer. That didn’t seem to be the case for Yumia.
“What do you mean I don’t know?”
“You really have no idea how nice Leonhard is. “What are you doing upright? People say you are a good person, but in my opinion, Leonhard is not someone you can look at that way.”
I stopped when I saw him talking to me as if he was complaining of frustration.
‘I think I know quite a bit about him too.’
While reading the novel set in this world, I thought I knew quite a bit about the main character, Leonhard.
But Yumia didn’t seem to completely accept what I was saying.
It feels like there’s something more I don’t know about.
“Han Tiansheng, tell me honestly. “Isn’t it because the suggestion I mentioned might be a bit embarrassing if other women see it?”
I nodded at the sudden question.
The reason I refuse Yumia’s request to create a strange atmosphere is because if the woman I’m related to sees that, I’ll be in quite a bit of trouble.
“…That’s something like that.”
“Then let’s just cut it out so there’s just the three of us. “I will rent a training room for me, Leonhard, and you.”
“Yumia… Are you really going to go that far? “I told you no.”
I shook my head without even thinking about it.
I actually didn’t know why Yumia was being so stubborn. This was purely on her part.
“Can I ask you this?”
Then, when Yumia asked extremely cautiously, I also paused.
A gently lowered head and disheveled red hair.
The sight of Yumia staring blankly into her teacup was very different from anything I knew.
A person who is always arrogant and does not look at anyone properly except Leonhard.
That was Yumia.
‘But to this extent… .’
He shows a despondent appearance with his head down.
“Can you…explain it to me properly?”
So I asked this question without realizing it.
What is it about Leonhard that makes Yumia so frustrated and upset? Would Yumia, who has such high self-esteem, even ask me a favor like this?
“If I explain… will you help me?”
“I’ll listen. It’s hard to give a definite answer. “I guess I say that a lot.”
“Then promise to help me first. Don’t say you will help after listening. I’m not asking you to do this for nothing. You know my personality… and that I only really see Leonhard. And I know that you don’t have the slightest interest in me.”
Yumia’s resolute words, strangely enough, sounded like a straightforward argument.
Ironically, we knew each other pretty well.
As I know quite a bit about Yumia, she too.
“…is it really that frustrating?”
I was about to answer when I stopped asking.
“Oh, I’m really frustrated. To be honest, I still feel like my stomach is going to burst… I really like it. Even though I really like Leonhard, he has a personality that is hard to understand sometimes when I look at him. “I know it’s because I like people so much, but I want to awaken Leonhard’s heart once and for all.”
Serious voice.
And through the raised head, I saw her red eyes looking directly at me.
Earnestness, appeal, pleading… .
I paused as I looked into Yumia’s eyes for the first time.
‘Does he really mean that much?’
Thinking about Leonhard’s actions in the story, many people felt frustrated.
This guy was so incredibly nice and honest that he was often called a b*tch.
The principle is not to kill anyone, and in most cases, they advocate for goodness and try to follow it.
‘I now have similar tendencies to him, but…’
Compared to Leonhard, I never thought of myself as good.
Because this guy is really extreme.
Compared to that, at least I was able to discern between interests and interests.
That was the case with my encounter with Apostle last weekend.
The apostle who took the lives of many people hostage provoked my tendencies and threatened me. And even though my mind was greatly shaken at that time, I did not make a wrong decision.
He refused the apostle’s suggestion to send Sir Isabelle away and chose to fight back.
In the process… I chose to kill the apostle even though dozens of innocent people died.
Because Sir Isabelle is much more important to me than the lives of dozens of strangers.
‘And my life… was more precious.’
So I chose to confront the apostle.
But what if.
What if Leonhard was in my place?
I naturally wondered what kind of judgment this guy would make. It is clear that he sent Sir Isabelle out at her first request.
And even if he had to fight alone, he would have struggled to save countless people. I’ll still be able to do that… because it’s a guy named Leonhard.
“Han Tiansheng. Is it really okay if I ask you this… ? “I’m really… I’ll be good to you, and if you get what you want later, I’ll sincerely help you.”
The earnest voice I heard made me look blankly at Yumia.
“…”
Suddenly, I understood what Yumia was saying earnestly.
Even as I took a deep breath, my eyes became blurry.
Even the kind-hearted Leonhard changes as a person towards the middle and latter half of the novel.
Yumia’s stimulation. As she looked at reality and heard her desperate cry that she could not save everyone, the moment came for Leonhard to face reality and make a choice.
‘In that sense… .’
Perhaps listening to Yumia now is part of that context.
Leonhard, who is just a nice person, has not yet developed his cool-headedness.
So, I was worried for a moment.
“Can you promise… that you’ll really just hold hands?”
“then! “To be honest, I really don’t want to hold hands with you either.”
“…No, if I say no, I’ll be a little hurt too.”
Yumia, who was dumbfounded and wondered if this was the attitude of the person asking the request, smiled brightly.
It was as if he already knew that my heart was strong.
“But what I don’t like is because I don’t like it. And it is with that big decision that I am asking you to do this. So are you free tomorrow? “I want to do it as soon as possible.”
“…I can make time. “Are we going to spar tomorrow?”
“uh. Leonhard I want to wake you up quickly. “The fact that you should keep the person you really like only by your side.”
Yumia, who spoke coldly, had completely determined eyes.
I was really moved by that too.
‘Okay, if it’s just holding hands… .’
I didn’t think I was committing a big sin either.
If Yumia had spoken to me further and made a request, I would have cut it off with a single knife, but it was her hand.
‘Besides, Leonhard and Yumia are like my friends now… .’
Then I thought there wouldn’t be a big problem if I just held his hand.
That’s because the intention is to enlighten Leonhard.
Before I knew it, I was rationalizing myself for accepting Yumia’s proposal.
Yumia’s suggestion to awaken Leonhard’s heart is right… .
“Then… let’s just do it that way.”
In the end, I nodded awkwardly.
“thank you! Thank you so much, Han Tiansheng!”
I felt lighthearted as I watched Yumia smile brightly as if the world would become brighter.
‘After all, the main purpose is sparring.’
I felt like it would be easier for me to think that way.
“Anyway, I will help you now just like I did last time. Yumia, if I ask you for help later, you have to help me without saying anything?”
“then! “Tell me anything, and as long as it’s not related to Leonhard or is a strange request, I’ll listen.”
Seeing him smile and nod his head made me laugh as well.
I somehow felt like I had formed a kind of alliance with her.
