Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 535
535. An unexpected reunion
***
-There is someone.
There is definitely someone watching me secretly.
Cheon Seong intuitively felt that way.
“……”
As I slowly calmed down for a moment, I unconsciously looked around.
The sky was already turning red and the sunset was fading, and many buildings and surrounding plants were also turning red due to the setting sun, so there was nothing special that stood out.
I had spent some time helping Darsha with her training before, and now it was time to go to dinner.
But suddenly I felt a deep gaze.
Now that I had a little free time left before dinner, my mind was filled with tension due to an untimely sense of crisis.
‘Who is it?’
Even though I was nervous, I didn’t slow down my pace.
Jerk.
As naturally as possible.
I thought carefully while acting to make it seem like I was normal.
‘Maybe he’s an apostle?’
I could no longer say I was safe in the Empire. The inside of the academy could not be considered safe either, considering that the nine apostles were targeting me.
However, when I thought about it that way, there was another thing that puzzled me.
What appeared in the ‘way forward’ displayed in the status window was a new path called the crossroads of fate, not a threat like last time.
In addition, considering the open information and other information, there was no way I would be threatened by the apostle, at least in the near future.
‘No, maybe.’
I didn’t know that the way forward would be to not show anything trivial unless it was a crisis big enough to lead to my death or an event big enough to correspond to it.
Even if he is an apostle, he may not be as threatening as before.
I had to keep all possibilities open and think carefully.
Jerk.
As I continued to walk like that, my whole body began to gain a little strength.
Someone’s gaze on me became more intense.
As if he was closing the distance to me… .
gulp.
Even as I swallowed a little, my whole body and mind were suddenly filled with tension.
Even though I can sense someone’s presence this clearly, I can’t tell where that person is.
I wasn’t even sure if he was really closing the distance to me. In that case, at least the other person couldn’t look down on me.
From noble mtl dot come
‘At least on the same level as me.’
Then it means that he is not someone I can put my mind at ease with… … .
“Cadet Han Tiansheng?”
I stopped walking at the voice I suddenly heard.
Tuk.
Even as I turned around without realizing it, the tension in my entire body was relieved in just one moment.
I felt like I was losing my breath.
There was someone there that I had never thought of, and someone I knew as well.
Bright blue hair. However, it was a blue color that was clearly different from the Glesia I knew well, and although her gently smiling face was so beautiful, I immediately wondered why she had come to see me.
‘The name was probably Sir Elin…?’
Another one of the golden knights who guard Rachel. The other person was Sir Selene, so she was relatively familiar to me, but the woman I saw now, Sir Elin, was someone I had never even had a conversation with.
The moment he recognized her, she smiled elegantly.
“Can you give me a moment?”
“yes… . it’s okay.”
I blinked my eyes while answering in a daze.
There was something foreign about it.
“Oh my, I think I was very surprised for a moment. “Did you really read my presence?”
Even though I was still looking at her with a beautiful smile, I just awkwardly nodded.
“I felt… a little bit. “But what did Lord Elin do to me?”
“It’s just that Princess Rachel said she wanted to meet you regarding the last incident. However, it would have drawn too much attention for the princess to come see you in person like last time, so I came instead.”
She looked calm as she lightly brushed her hair and smiled.
It certainly was. Still, I felt reassured later.
‘It was Lord Ellin.’
I felt a strange sense of strangeness in the fact that the person who had been looking at me and closing the distance just a moment ago was Sir Elin.
Was it really her? It’s a question that even I can’t understand.
To me, the gaze wasn’t as bright as it is now. But in reality, he was a person who had absolutely no reason to harm me.
“Then I will guide you to the princess right away. “Let’s go together.”
“yes. All right.”
Chubbuck. Jerk.
As I followed Sir Elin’s steps as she walked lightly, I inadvertently took a look at my surroundings.
Certainly, when Sir Elin appeared, the gaze on me disappeared.
however.
It was an extremely strange feeling.
‘Is it really… Sir Elin?’
I now know that just like Sir Isabel, the other Golden Knights also have the vision to hide their appearance.
So, without a doubt, she was the one who appeared in front of me, but… I had a really strange feeling.
Something.
Sir Elin, who was walking next to me, seemed to have a bright and bright energy.
She was a beautiful woman who had a truly radiant atmosphere just by looking at her, so just being with Sir Elin like now makes the atmosphere around her brighter.
However, I had a strange feeling that the way Sir Elin was looking at me a little while ago was clearly different from the mood she had now… .
“As expected, it’s great. “I didn’t know you could even sense my presence.”
My thoughts were interrupted by her voice.
“…I only felt it a little bit.”
When we carefully made eye contact, Sir Elin was still smiling elegantly.
A smile so beautiful that I can’t help but notice it.
“But it means that he sensed my presence even just a little bit and was alert. “Even with just that, Cadet Han Cheon-seong has already reached a level that is too great to be considered a cadet, so to be honest, I was very surprised.”
As Sir Elin spoke softly, I decided to shake off the distracting thoughts in my head.
And then I deliberately answered a little lighter.
“I didn’t expect Lord Elin to approach me like that, so I was really surprised.”
“is it so? “In fact, I thought I would surprise you even more, but I thought you were very nervous, so I called you by your name on purpose.”
I sighed inwardly as I faced her with obvious favor.
‘It’s just… I was probably too sensitive.’
Maybe my worries were too much.
***
The prestigious building set aside within the academy caught the eye of anyone who saw it.
However, it was a space where access was extremely restricted for all cadets, academy senior officers, staff, and even instructors.
This was because it was the space where the ‘royal family’ stayed.
Crash.
Now the door to one of the interior rooms of the building was opened.
Rachel, who was in a space so large that it could be considered a huge hall, smiled brightly and greeted those who entered.
“Welcome. “Han Cheon-seong.”
“Meet Princess Rachel.”
Seeing Rachel’s natural tendency to respond with a yes as soon as their eyes met, she nodded slightly and looked at Elin standing next to her.
“Elin. “Good job bringing him back.”
“no. “I just did what I had to do.”
When Elin gently stepped aside and walked towards Rachel under the light compliment, Rachel gently sat down and winked at the seat in front of her.
As Cheonseong sat down across from her, Rachel looked at him carefully.
‘It’s only been a few days since we last met.’
This man felt different.
Little by little, but steadily, I could see that this man’s energy was getting stronger.
“How have you been?”
“yes. I had a good time. Princess.”
“is it so? That’s a bit surprising. “I wasn’t doing very well.”
He said softly and rolled his eyes for no reason.
“…yes?”
Even though I saw him answering in surprise, he gently rested his chin and cupped my cheek.
“I think I need to be more careful when meeting you, unlike at the Magic Tower. “I was embarrassed that the day I met you was spread through so many rumors.”
As I said, I was really in trouble in many ways. I immediately heard people asking why I did such a thing to my brother, and besides, the amount of things I had to worry about increased several times just because of the rumors surrounding him.
“…sorry. Princess.”
“I didn’t specifically say that because I wanted an apology. I just said that because I thought I was careless. Anyway, it’s good to see you’re doing well.”
Even though I was smiling, something caught my eye.
Is it because I look better?
Or is it because I am amazed at the talent of this man who is getting stronger day by day?
It was nice to see him with a perplexed expression, thinking that it might be both.
It’s just a moment to satisfy those selfish desires.
I got straight to the point.
“And the reason I called you today isn’t because that’s important; in fact, I have something to tell you.”
“If you’re going to tell me… ?”
As I carefully met his eyes that were looking at me, I placed a box made of golden thread that I had prepared on the table.
Sreuk.
And then he pushed it lightly and handed it to Han Tiansheng.
“This is a reward from the imperial family for your confrontation with the Apostle last time. Open the contents yourself. “There will be something to look forward to.”
Even though I was smiling, I was curious.
How will this man react when he sees the reward?
