Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 520



520. The way forward: The crossroads of fate

***

Time passed and evening came.

After finishing sparring with Yumia, Cheonseong was in his dormitory.

Crumbling.

The sound of something being written on pure white paper with an even whiter quill continued to ring out.

It was a kind of transcription.

A transcription to keep up with progress that I was unable to fully follow while away from the Academy.

“…You’re a lot more meticulous than I thought.”

As I had never thought of looking at someone’s handwriting before, I was honestly and purely surprised now that I was transcribing Darsha’s materials.

Although we always got along well, I didn’t really get the impression that Darsha was studying or being sincere.

‘Actually, Darsha’s grades in the last mid-term evaluation were around mid-level.’

However, when I looked at the handwriting of the person who was currently copying, I could see quite a few traces of effort here and there. Parts that are underlined or particularly emphasized allow you to know that you are listening to the lecture properly.

Ok. Ok.

I took a deep breath as I gently dipped the tip of the collar into the jet black dye and painted it appropriately.

Right now, I am transcribing to keep up with the progress that has been made in my room in the dormitory.

I definitely don’t feel like this situation is too burdensome for me.

“…I don’t have time as expected.”

Recently, I had no choice but to stop meeting several people I had planned to meet for a while.

Because I can’t continue meeting other people without being able to do my best right now. So, all appointments with Glesia, Milia, and Karite were left empty for the time being.

A small sigh escaped his lips as he hesitated.

‘miss you.’

I want to meet them and spend more time with them. That kind of feeling is like a chimney, but it’s because I don’t have much realistic freedom.

Suddenly, I looked back at myself.

First of all, I overcame my own crisis by facing the apostle last week, and I was able to feel relieved, at least for the time being.

A new path to take.

When I thought of that again, a blue light flickered in my vision.

*

*[Crossroads of Fate]

You have achieved growth that no one expected. And following such activities, the alertness of the nine apostles also increased to the highest level.

-The ‘great path’ for one of the nine apostles is presented.

Open Information 1: There are nine apostles who have left the body of the apostles and become fully human.

Unlocked information 2: There is no direct danger to you for the time being.

Unlocked information 3: To be unlocked, you must obtain a very large clue about one of the nine apostles.

???? : We don’t know anything yet.

-Special information due to extremely high growth will be released!

[At a festival held later, you will encounter a human Apostle]

“…”

I looked at the contents countless times while staring at the updated path to take.

This was information that I had already checked more than ten times to make sure I did not miss a single thing. However, it seemed very vague.

“Nine apostles.”

However, I was able to clearly see that this path forward was even more important to me.

-A path about one of the nine apostles.

In addition, the name of the path to take, ‘Crossroads of Destiny,’ felt more meaningful than any other path to take.

“…Is this the crossroads of my fate?”

My thoughts became a little deeper.

Looking at it more broadly, it may not be an exaggeration to say that the fate of this world depends on it.

The nine apostles meant an apostle with greater power than any other apostle, which meant the greatest threat to this empire.

In addition, there were one or two other things that bothered me.

-An apostle who became fully human.

-That means there will be no direct harm for the time being.

In addition, an item filled with question marks for the first time also caught my attention. What kind of information is it that says you can’t know anything?

There was not even a condition for lifting the ban.

“……”

Even as I thought about it, my mind was a little complicated.

I gently brushed off the feathers that were black with dye and started copying again.

Suddenly… .

My thoughts were organized while the sound of a feather brushing against paper rang in my ears.

“Let’s do what needs to be done first.”

Even if you try to prepare for something special, in my experience, it only makes things bigger. I would rather do what I can within the given situation.

…For now, focus on life at the academy and get back to your original life.

In the meantime, if something comes to mind, you can concentrate more and think about it properly.

I thought that was best for now.

***

Inside the academy, there were several buildings and different spaces.

Their uses were very different, and essential facilities such as blacksmiths and general stores that would have existed outside the academy existed inside the academy.

And among them, there were bound to be spaces with relatively little foot traffic, and the most prominent among them was the ‘library.’

A bookshelf lined up neatly. Even though there were more than a thousand books on the bookshelf, there were very few visitors.

Although it is a space that inherently requires silence, the current interior of the library is not at a level to worry about that.

-Because there are so few cadets and instructors visiting.

In fact, even if someone was talking about random things in a corner of the library, there was no need to stop them, considering there were only a few librarians in the library.

Sreuk.

And when the door to the library opened for the first time in a while, the librarian who was managing the library yawned loudly and then looked at me in surprise.

“…!”

Immediately after that, librarian Mela opened her eyes wide.

‘What, what is it?’

One boy and two girls are a rare combination, but more than anything, their looks are outstanding.

It’s not that it’s quite outstanding either… .

So much so that it’s hard to see.

“hello. “This is my first time visiting the library. Is there anything else I should know?”

Then, when a black-haired man approached me first and spoke to me, I paused and spoke to him.

“Ah, well… it’s not much different from a regular library. Any book is okay to look at in the library, but you must not damage the book or leave it lying around, and if you borrow a book, you must clearly identify yourself and write a note. ”

“Everyone understood. “Librarian, is that the end?”

“Yes, it is.”

Even though I answered blankly, I was a little embarrassed.

The friendly voice and the appearance that caught my eye also had something soft yet strong at the same time.

‘There are people like this.’

Looking at the clothes, you could tell that he was a C-class cadet, but it was somewhat strange since it was a library that only people came to.

Because it felt like someone who would never come to the library visited the library.

“Of course it is because it is a library, but it is still quieter than expected.”

“So, isn’t it too quiet like Millia said?”

Then, when the two women next to the man opened their mouths, attention naturally turned to them as well.

The first thing that caught my eye was a woman with shoulder-length black short hair that had a soft and warm feel, and in contrast, a woman with long, sky-blue hair that seemed to have both brightness and coldness at the same time.

The two people also appeared to be C-class cadets like the man.

‘What is the relationship?’

It was amazing to see two women accompanying one man, but more than anything, the distance between them seemed very close.

“Then, let me use the library for a while.”

“…yes. Please.”

Then, when three people, led by a man, entered the library, I was amazed while staring blankly at their backs.

I would say there’s something a little strange about it.

…I had impure thoughts without realizing it.

‘It’s not like they’re both lovers… or something like that, right?’

Just by looking at the appearance of the two women, I knew right away that they were not commoners. In addition, I naturally felt the aristocratic gait and strange upper-class atmosphere.

On the other hand, although the man’s appearance was very outstanding, he did not really feel like he was an aristocrat.

‘I would say he has a slightly more unusual impression than that of a nobleman.’

Still, as I have been working as a librarian for several years and have seen many people, I am now able to tell whether they are nobles or not.

Crash.

At the sound of the door opening, my eyes turned to the back.

There, I could see a half-asleep senior through his messy hair.

“Mella, who is here?”

“Oh, they were just C-class cadets.”

“okay? Then I’ll sleep inside for a little while longer. Please take care of me?”

“Oh, yes. Seniors.”

I felt strange as I watched my senior open the door to the break room and go back inside.

‘Even such an unsightly senior.’

To be a cadet like those with such a gorgeous appearance and aura… .

From noble mtl dot come

Would you say it’s really ironic?

Ok.

While I was sorting out the documents that were neatly placed, I glanced at him again.

‘He was handsome.’

It seemed like it attracted more attention because it had an appearance that was difficult to see.

But I just shook my head lightly.

With a noble woman on either side of him like that, I could immediately imagine that his skill with women was no joke.

‘Let’s just watch.’

Sometimes I feel satisfied just by looking at such a handsome person.

***

“The librarian at the entrance, don’t you feel a little offended?”

“Karite. What does that mean all of a sudden?”

Millia smiled softly at Karite’s pointed words.

“No, I just feel like I keep glancing at Han Tiansheng. Should I say that a person with a dull appearance looks very gloomy… It’s just a little bit so.”

“Don’t feel too bad. You can just stare.”

The whispering voices of Millia and Karite were clearly heard in Cheonseong’s ears.

I thought it would be better if I got help rather than studying on my own with the materials I copied from Darsha, so the next day, I happened to be accompanied by two people.

“Did you two get good grades?”

After listening to the words, I suddenly asked a question.

If you think about it, how did the two of you get your final grades?

“huh! “I did pretty well.”

“I came out not bad either.”

When both Milia and Karite answered positively, I became curious.

“What is your overall rank?”

“Well… Actually, the overall ranking is within the C class. “It’s nothing special.”

Millia was the first to answer awkwardly, but I wondered how good her grades had to be for her to say something like that.

“right? “Milia, did you find this final exam easy?”

“huh. “It was easy.”

As I looked at the two people talking naturally, I asked directly.

“So, what rank do you two have overall in this final?”

For reference, out of the 250th place overall, I only managed to maintain double digits in this final exam.

Even though there were test subjects I was confident in, such as understanding mana, I failed almost all of the tests where I couldn’t keep up with the progress.

‘Kali said she would let me take the test again… .’

To be honest, I wasn’t very relaxed.

“Second place.”

“I’m in fourth place.”

Tuk. I was speechless at the two people’s light answers.

Even though I was casually saying that I was in a relationship with them, I felt the position of the two people again. That it is absolutely not ordinary.

‘No, I was similar to both of them, even just in my mid-term evaluation.’

Because the gap is big now.

“…You both are good at studying.”

“No, I’m just doing what I can. “It’s not even A class or B class, so you can’t struggle in writing for C class.”

“It’s exactly like Millia said. “She may have been hard to follow at first, but she’s pretty normal now.”

The two people who answered me weren’t bragging to me at all.

As if it were natural.

Afterwards, when both people’s eyes were focused on me, I stopped.

“Then Han Tiansheng, what about you?”

I was a little embarrassed by Karite’s question.

“I’m going to study now.” “Because I was at the Magic Tower, my progress was delayed a lot.”

“then. That’s why you asked to come to the library with us.”

An awkward laugh escaped me as I watched Millia listen to my words so that I wouldn’t feel embarrassed.

“That’s right. I see But don’t be shy and say it properly. “Then wouldn’t we be able to teach you more?”

Karite gently placed her body on my shoulder with a coy smile.

Munchul.

While feeling her softness, I suddenly opened my mouth.

“94th place… .”

Stop.

For a moment, I could feel Karite, who had pressed herself against me, stop.

“You… were first on the midterm exam, right?”
