Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 530



530. Meeting – Calterra’s Surprise (4)

***

-Proof of one’s worth.

There will be many ways to prove how much value you have.

Basically, it would be about external appearance, and depending on the era, it could also be about the power that an individual possesses. Besides that, wealth and power. External reputation, etc… .

There are many things you can do to reveal your value, depending on how you think about it.

Even if you have a good reputation from many people, that alone proves yourself.

And now.

A group of people were currently sitting in the gymnasium in Kali’s mansion.

First, Calterra, Kali, Han Cheonsung, and the attendant knights of the Ishtar family were also there.

“…”

Calterra, who was standing on the outskirts of the training ground with an unhappy expression, had blurred eyes.

‘Why did it become like this?’

I was a little dazed.

I reluctantly returned to the reception after hearing Carly’s words, and through the exchange of a few more words there, I learned many things.

Even though he is a cadet, he is receiving quite a lot of attention and is said to be so talented that he beat the senior cadet in sparring this year.

In addition, it is said that he has a connection with the magic tower owner, and that he also had a relationship with Princess Rachel.

Carly has been telling me a lot about a man named Han Cheon-seong.

And none of those words could be considered trivial. On the contrary, it sounded like such nonsense that it made me question its authenticity.

Of course, it was not enough to enter the Central Academy, where one could enter after proving one’s talent. Beating even the chief cadet, who was considered the most outstanding, meant that one’s talent had blossomed greatly, and it was worth living highly.

Other than that, all the words were spoken loudly.

however.

‘Even if there are such points, can we really say that they are that important compared to our Kali?’

If you look at the man named Han Tiansheng as an individual, he was definitely amazing.

But what kind of place is this now, and what kind of words did Carly tell me to face this man?

When I think about it, it was so lacking.

Even now, I could see Han Cheon-seong standing in the center of the training ground.

‘In the end, you’re still a cadet… .’

No matter how talented you are, there is no family halo to support you in the end, and even if you receive a lot of attention, you do not have the family power to achieve it with your own strength.

A family name was not a trivial thing.

The ranking of nobles is strictly determined, and the opportunities given differ depending on the family. Therefore, even if an opportunity comes to commoners, there is a clear limit to how much they can accept it.

And that was the way of the present world.

“Mother, there are things that are not known to the public.”

“Externally?”

“yes. “Because he is special.”

I was intrigued as I listened to Kali’s voice speaking as she stood next to me.

There seemed to be a strange confidence in Carly’s voice, as if she could persuade me and say she would change my mind.

‘What on earth is there?’

At that time, I laid eyes on a man named Han Cheon-seong.

“I want you to show me everything you have today.”

Kali’s serious voice rang out.

“I will.”

The man nodded with calm eyes and sighed internally while gently crossing his arms.

‘really…’

Now, I couldn’t understand my daughter any better than that man named Han Cheon-seong.

Has my daughter forgotten how much time I spent as the hostess of the Ishtar family? How many people did I see during that time?

Due to the nature of the Ishtar family, as they produce special weapons, they are bound to encounter beings who excel in many fields.

Therefore, among the people who visited the family, there were high-ranking officers serving on the current front line, and I even encountered quite a few beings called ‘Axis of the Empire’ in order to personally produce special weapons.

So I wouldn’t be surprised at what I see now.

“Then let’s begin.”

Immediately after, a calm voice rang out, so I looked at the man first.

The moment I looked at the two deeply sunken eyes through the black hair and wondered what was there.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!

A sudden burst of golden energy began to encompass the entire body.

That… was absolutely unusual even to just look at.

“…!?”

I opened my eyes wide and instinctively focused my gaze.

Normally, mana was blue in color. If you don’t give mana any special mana properties, basically all mana is blue.

However, the golden color was completely different. The brilliantly shining golden mana naturally enveloped the body, and that was not the only change. Even his eyes were completely different.

‘Geuman… ?’

The eyes were stained with gold, like shining mana. I clearly remember that he was originally black like his hair, but even the color of his eyes had changed.

In that case, this is not an ordinary manifestation of mana, nor is it something that simply uses tricks or gives properties.

And if there was anything that could show this level of change, there was only one thing that came to mind.

‘Opening.’

But that didn’t make sense.

It was very different from the openness I knew, and it seemed like something a little different.

“Carly, what are you looking like right now…” ?”

“It’s his unique power. And he is also open.”

I blinked blankly at the sight of Kali answering without hesitation.

“Do you really mean that power is open?”

“Yes, it’s different from the openness you might normally think of, but it’s definitely the power of openness.”

My daughter’s words just made my heart flutter.

Openness is essentially the power to control space.

It was like the essence of great power that spreads its power and dominates space.

But that man, who was just a cadet… .

‘You can handle opening?’

Jerk.

My gaze suddenly caught the sight of Han Tiansheng moving forward.

I moved to one side of the training ground and lifted an iron bar in an armory containing several weapons, and a big change was instantly visible.

ㅡ!

‘Even the iron bars… .’

The entire spear holder, including the blade, showed a change in brilliant gold.

Even if I wasn’t sure if it was really the power of opening, it was clear that it was no ordinary power.

“…I can’t believe it.”

I, too, could not believe what Bea, the training engineer, said.

From the moment I heard he was a cadet, my expectations for a man named Han Cheon-seong plummeted to the floor.

“Carly, if that power is truly open as you say, then can it compete with Bea?”

I asked without thinking.

I thought that if I could handle the opening, I would have a level of power that could compete with Bea.

“It would be possible. But mom… are you saying you don’t believe me? “I definitely said that his strength was openness.”

“Carly, it’s not that I don’t believe you right now, I just want to make sure.”

And if it is truly the power of openness, it will be able to stand up to Bea as well.

Otherwise, I don’t think I would be able to truly understand the true value of that power.

While thinking that, I winked at Bea.

“yes.”

Chubbuck.

Afterwards, he said while looking at Bea who carefully approached the center of the training ground.

“I’m not saying I’m serious about competing. “Bea will take care of it as well.”

“…yes.”

I also understood Kali’s reluctant acceptance.

The brilliant gold-colored power clearly belonged to the power that could be called openness, and there was no way my daughter would tell a lie that would be revealed right away, so I had to assume that it was the truth.

gulp.

I swallowed without realizing it and felt like my mind had completely changed.

‘If you really have that much natural talent… .’

It was worth considering him as a son-in-law.

“Are you competing with me?”

“yes. We’ll just do a simple sum. “You don’t have to think too big.”

“Then… I will do that.”

Han Cheon-seong seemed confident as he answered calmly while facing Bea.

Confidence in yourself.

‘When I think of Bea’s power… .’

Certainly, for a cadet, his level of power had reached an incredible level. In addition, I didn’t know that I should have reconsidered whether the imperial family showed interest in that man, which I had just brushed aside.

Immediately after taking a stance, Bea aimed her sword and kicked the ground, immediately manifesting mana and concentrating even more.

ㅡ!

As my vision turned blue, all of their movements began to become clearly visible to my eyes.

Chachaechaeng!

The blade of the spear responded to Bea’s light strikes and sword strikes by embroidering countless golden trajectories.

There was no sign of any difficulty in the movement.

‘really… .’

That power could only be seen as an opening.

Although Bea accompanied me as a training knight, she was one of the beings who was evaluated as a high-ranking knight who had reached level 7 in her characteristics.

However, there was no feeling of being defeated in the slightest against the high-ranking knight.

Chae-Ang!

And the blade of the spear that was used to block Bea’s powerful blow, which naturally increased its strength, did not waver for a single moment.

“how… .”

I couldn’t believe it as I muttered in a daze.

It was clearly a cadet.

He admitted it himself, and Carly told me as much.

And now, when I think about my position as a cadet who entered school this year… What on earth is this scene unfolding before my eyes?

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!

The countless traces of gold light that embroidered the space of the window, and Bea’s blue sword, which encountered those waves of gold light, were following with my eyes, but the attack was quite fierce.

Nowadays, the competition is so fierce that anyone would feel that it is too much to simply evaluate it.

Bea was gradually increasing her strength greatly.

‘It never crosses the line.’

Bea thought that even if she raised her strength that much, the man named Han Cheon-seong could take her sword, so Bea raised her strength that much.

Thinking about Bea’s extremely calm temperament, I couldn’t help but laugh.

Cheaeng!!

Soon, along with a huge clash, a wave of energy, like a small shock wave, enveloped the training hall.

Sling!

Bea, who had retrieved the sword with its scabbard, was looking at the man with eyes that were both astounding and bordering on admiration.

“…I’ll leave it at this. “I think you can handle it even if I increase your strength even more.”

“May I call you Sir Bea?”

“yes. “Please call me that.”

As I saw the two people talking warmly, I unconsciously grabbed their hands tightly.

‘This… .’

You have to catch it.

You must hold on to that too.

Before I knew it, my head was filled with such thoughts.

We have to somehow bring that man, Han Cheon-seong, into our family.

“I didn’t risk my future because I was too emotional.”

At the sound of my daughter’s voice next to me, I hesitated with my lips and burst out laughing again.

“…That’s really true.”

For a moment, no other words came out other than those words.

It was just amazing and a total re-watch.

“And mother, his true value does not end with this.”

However, I had no choice but to stop after hearing my daughter’s next words.

“This…isn’t the end?”
