Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 532
532. Special Academy
***
Jerk.
That… .
After leaving Kali’s mansion, Cheonseong did not return to the academy right away.
The time when the sunset is fading.
I was taking a break at a park in the city that was different from the park inside the academy.
“……”
As it was the weekend, many people could be seen walking through the park. A family on an outing or a couple having a friendly conversation. I leaned absentmindedly on the bench, taking in the countless other people in my eyes.
Sreuk.
He even loosened his tie a little and sighed loudly.
“Whoa.”
As I breathed in the fresh air, I finally felt relieved.
‘I feel really drained.’
More than anything else, I felt very tired.
Apparently, just a little while ago, he was staying at Kali’s mansion and talking with his mother and Kali.
The conversation was mostly about me, and although there were some other big topics occasionally, the conversation was mainly light and I chose to leave the mansion before evening.
We spent nearly 5 hours together.
Maybe I should have stayed at Carly’s mansion longer to make a better impression.
‘I guess so.’
Even now that I think about it, I thought that was probably right. The answer was to leave a better impression by spending time together at the mansion until evening.
But even if that was the answer… it was difficult in my current state.
As I slowly caught my breath and raised my hand, I saw that it was shaking.
“……”
He smiled slightly and gently squeezed his hand.
Only then did I inadvertently shake my head as I saw my hands stop shaking.
Maybe I was so nervous ever since I first met my mother, but my heart was heavy the whole time I was at the mansion. And along the way, I opened up and showed my strength to prove myself, but I really didn’t have any room in my heart for this.
That’s why I take a break and take a break at the park along the way.
Jerbeok, ttogak… .
The car that had the images of many people in my field of vision blankly in my eyes.
ㅡ!
In the corner of my vision, a being appeared with golden energy rippling.
“Lord Isabelle… .”
I definitely thought she was by my side, but I wasn’t really aware of it, so I was a little surprised by her sudden appearance.
“Can we talk for a moment?”
“Oh, yes. “Please sit next to me.”
Tuk.
After I adjusted my body as if to gently give her a seat, Sir Isabelle quietly sat down next to me.
Grumbling.
I blinked, noticing that her blonde hair had grown a little longer, and she met my gaze.
“It’s about what happened today.”
Although it was calm, I stopped for a moment when I saw Sir Isabelle staring at me and asking a question.
“……”
Even as I hesitated with my lips, my mind quickly became complicated.
‘If you think about it… .’
I only thought about what would happen today, so I had no time to think about anything else. But, as I saw Sir Isabelle appearing to me first, I had a fleeting feeling.
What is she trying to tell me now?
“I understand you’re done talking to Carly. Could you… please explain in more detail?”
As I expected, she asked very seriously, and I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.
“……”
Of course I had to think about it… but I couldn’t think of saying it in advance.
“It’s just as you see.”
“I mean it’s just as I saw it…” .”
Looking at her with blurry eyes, my mouth felt dry. But I couldn’t tell a lie in front of her, who must have been watching everyone.
He let out a short breath and nodded.
In the end, I had to tell the truth.
“Last time at the Magic Tower, I promised one thing with Instructor Kali. Exactly… those were her words about her engagement to me.”
I couldn’t say anything more as I looked at Sir Isabelle, who was staring at me blankly at my answer.
I guess I never thought that this could be the reason. Her blankly staring eyes knocked on my heart.
“……”
That’s certainly true, but I thought maybe I should have thought a little deeper.
“Engaged… you mean?”
“yes. That’s right.”
If my engagement to Carly went smoothly like this, that would be a good thing. But in fact, it wasn’t just me and her.
Because I’m not looking at just one person.
‘Isabel Eleanor.’
She was a woman from the Marquis Eleanor family. But how do you feel when you look at me now?
Even though I couldn’t have guessed, I knew it wouldn’t be good. In addition, she has only recently clearly established her relationship with her. No wonder she hates me now.
It was just… because I did it my way.
If I think about it seriously, I should have coordinated the opinions of more people before making a decision.
However, in the spirit of the moment and because of the promise, I ended up doing this.
“……ha.”
I paused and waited for Sir Isabel to speak as she let out a deep sigh after thinking.
“First of all… I understand.”
“Lord Isabelle. Are you okay?”
“Isn’t the water already spilled? “You’ve already met Carly’s mother, and he left it on a good note.”
I just nodded at the half-resigned voice.
Actually, right now, I don’t know what’s right. When Carly, who wanted to promise me a future, brought up the idea of engagement, I immediately accepted the offer.
Because I also wanted to be engaged to her.
“Is…is this going to be a problem?”
Even as I asked, I thought it was a stupid thing to say.
Reality is completely different, so you shouldn’t just act as your heart desires.
“It’s hard for me to give a definite answer just yet. But it could become a problem in the future. The story will all be different depending on the women you have relationships with. Actually… I’m confused because it’s a topic I’ve never thought about before. As you know, the hierarchy among nobles is clearly established. “The system is clearly divided as we cannot face each other equally.”
“yes. “I understand.”
Therefore, even though they are the same noble family, they are divided into titles such as duke, marquis, and count.
The superiority and inferiority between the families was clear, and in that sense, Sir Isabel had to be seen as a noblewoman with a very high title.
But it will be visible to her eyes.
First of all, if I were to formally become engaged to a woman from a lower family than myself… .
‘Lord Isabelle… ?’
And what happens to everyone else except her?
“I will take a closer look and talk to you later.”
“If you would do that… I would just be grateful.”
“Honestly, I was very surprised. It couldn’t possibly be a place with that kind of meaning… .”
There was a strange mixture of emotions in the eyes of Sir Isabelle, who smiled awkwardly.
A look of disappointment. And deep regret… .
From noble mtl dot come
That was clearly reflected through her eyes.
Sreuk.
So I suddenly grabbed Sir Isabelle’s hand.
Stop.
“I think it’s quite a step forward for me now. But… I will promise you one thing to Sir Isabelle as well. I am sure that Sir Isabel will have a meeting like today. And when that time comes, I will be much more prepared than I am now.”
“…You mean someone from the Eleanor family?”
Looking at Sir Isabelle who answered blankly, I nodded as if I was making a promise to myself.
“yes.”
There was no hesitation in answering.
I know I am being too greedy. I tried to embrace many people in my arms, and I made many determinations to achieve that.
But as to whether I regret it, there was no regret. If you decided to have them, you had to take responsibility for everything. Everyone had to take responsibility for all of them without exception.
That was natural.
“It’s not that I haven’t thought about a future with you, but what can I say… The Carly I met today was really bold.”
When Lord Isabelle, smiling a little at ease, took my hand, I silently accepted her touch.
“Even if I could get permission, I don’t think I could get engaged right away due to my situation.”
I didn’t think it would be a good idea for me, a cadet, to get engaged to Carly.
I graduated from the academy as quickly as possible, but wouldn’t it be right to ask for permission before that? I didn’t want to keep the engagement simple or hidden.
Because I want to reveal my relationship openly enough to be able to present myself more to Carly.
“In that case… I will also tell Kali separately.”
I nodded at the stern gaze of Sir Isabelle, who answered emphatically.
Judging from today’s atmosphere, I had a vague feeling that the engagement might proceed soon. But it needed to be thought about a little more carefully.
Even if everything else was taken care of, ‘timing’ was important.
It wasn’t just about my worth or qualifications; I had to gain enough fame to embrace them all myself.
I needed to raise my reputation quickly enough to at least avoid confusion and noise.
“I think it’s okay for you.”
“…Lord Isabelle.”
“If our family, the marquis family, recognizes your true worth, we will accept you.”
I also laughed when I saw Sir Isabelle smiling brightly, unlike when she first appeared.
My heart was heavy and tense all day today.
I felt like I was able to let go a little due to an untimely conversation with Sir Isabelle.
***
Central Academy in the Imperial Capital.
Although most people don’t know, the academy’s internal buildings are largely divided into two categories.
First, there was a ‘general academy’ that educated new cadets who had just entered the school and put them on a certain track, and among the cadets who had reached a certain level, especially those who showed great talent and shined, were provided with the opportunity to gain greater learning. A space made with consideration.
There was a separate so-called ‘special academy’.
And usually, most cadets graduated from regular academies.
Among the cadets on track, there were only a very small number of special academies where the cadets who showed great talent learned, so it was not very well known.
In addition, the security was tighter than that of a regular academy.
Among the Academy’s many facilities, there was a special Academy building that only authorized people could enter, and the general public could not even see the facilities where many magical crimes were prevented.
As it was a space where only talented people who would carry the future of this empire could come, the Special Academy was a place known only to a few.
And now.
There was a black-haired woman who entered the special academy.
Again.
“…It doesn’t look that different.”
Azazel felt that way while taking in the surrounding scenery. Even though she’s from a special academy, she’s not that different.
Compared to all the hard work I had put in, I felt a little lost.
I took the exams over several weeks, and was able to pass them all with confidence.
I burst out laughing as my eyes caught sight of a building that looked a little more luxurious.
‘But I learned the real secret.’
I used to think that way sometimes.
How can outstanding people who suddenly appear on the front lines, people with a light so great that they can rise to the axis of the empire, even though they are obviously keeping an eye on the situation at the Academy, knowingly or unknowingly, how can it be that they appear so suddenly?
But now I felt like the question had been answered.
In each and every one of them, the human energy was enormous.
The number of people in the entire building is only a few dozen. Nevertheless, the energy of each person was unique.
To consider those people as cadets, it feels like they have already surpassed the level of being a cadet.
“Oh, this is my first time seeing you… .”
Then, a person appeared on the other side of the hallway and spoke in surprise, so I naturally looked at him.
The man, who appeared to be in his mid-20s, did not seem to have any special features.
“I’m a little lost.”
“Are you lost? Oh, then are you the rumored external candidate?”
“If I am an external candidate, I will be the one. “Has a rumor spread?”
Even though I blinked, I smiled. She was rather at ease if the rumor spread.
“then. Of course it spread. So your name was probably… Azazel?”
“that’s right. Azazel. “Then what about you?”
“My name is Gelian. “I think I’ll see you more often now, Azazel. Please take care of me in the future.”
I was conflicted for a moment as I looked at the man’s hand, but then I nodded and stretched out my hand.
After briefly holding my hand and waving, I was guided through the building.
While looking around the special academy’s grounds and spacious interior classrooms, I got to know the space one by one.
“Still, I didn’t know you were such a pretty person.”
“I hear that often.”
I felt it intuitively even though I was giving a half-hearted response to the person who was giving me mercy from time to time.
‘soon… .’
It was clear that Han Tiansheng would also come to this special academy space.
Then, until then, sit back and blend into this atmosphere… Just aim for the right time.
For my top priority right now, that alone was more than enough.
‘Sealing Han Tiansheng again.’
And that was also the core reason why I was reborn as a human being.
