Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 541
541. Grand Colosseum – Grande Pelua
***
Another day passed.
Nevertheless, my conversation with Sir Isabel last night taught me a lot.
I also knew that the topic was actually not appropriate for me to rely on her for my unanswered concerns.
‘Even if the princess is the subject of the conversation, in the end… .’
Because it was about another woman. Still, I ended up talking to her without thinking.
I thought it was too big of a topic to solve on my own… .
And as a result, Sir Isabelle gave me an answer.
-Princess Rachel will be of greater strength to you than anyone else.
In fact, it is right to accept it.
… …
“To briefly explain the Grand Colosseum, it is like selecting a cadet to represent the academy. Because it’s like selecting the best cadets from each academy, including the central academy. We are accepting applications for participation without restrictions, but unfortunately not everyone can participate.”
The thoughts that followed Kali’s words were cut off.
As my vision returned to focus, I saw Kali standing on the podium in the classroom.
“Eight people. “Many cadets may be thinking, but only eight people from our central academy and other academies can advance.”
After hearing the words that followed, I felt like my mind was suddenly awakened.
‘Eight people.’
In the story, the participants of the Grand Colosseum are not clearly specified. I know it’s being said that there are a lot of participants, but Carly’s words were shocking to me.
Noisy.
In fact, the cadets in the class were talking a lot about those words.
-There are only 8 people…
-I can’t even go out.
-In the end, isn’t it only for Class A kids to leave?
-What should I do? The Colosseum itself is where cadets representing the academy come out.
Amid the different voices, my gaze inadvertently turned to the side.
“…….”
Darsha was seen there, biting her lip.
And my mood when I saw her also calmed down. This was a constraint I had never thought of.
‘What should I do?’
The total number of cadets in this central academy where I am right now is close to a thousand.
The number of students distributed in each class from Class A to Class D was 250. However, the number of cadets currently able to go to the Grand Colosseum was only 8 out of 1,000.
“So, applicants to the Grand Colosseum will be selected based on the discretion of various instructors. If they feel they cannot decide at their own discretion, they will hold their own preliminary round. In that sense, I think it is meaningful for anyone to apply at least once. “It will be a great opportunity to push yourself harder than ever.”
Unlike Carly’s smiling face, a deep sigh escaped my mouth.
A few days ago, I encouraged Darsha greatly.
Challenge yourself to level 5 and try to change your mind. Even if you don’t win, it will definitely be different if you try hard, and the process itself will be meaningful.
But even participating in the Grand Colosseum was almost like walking through the eye of a needle.
It was another story to say that the goal was becoming far more difficult.
After a short speech, I couldn’t help but pay attention to Darsha throughout the lecture.
Even as I looked at the guy’s blank eyes, I felt sad for no reason.
Over the past few days, I’ve seen Darsha put more effort into her training than I thought and put in sincere effort.
He even asked me to help him with his training sincerely, and I could see that he really had a different mindset.
‘But if you think there are 8 people… .’
In reality, it was no exaggeration to say that the majority of seats had already been allocated.
This was the case only for the cadets that I know of now who have grown to level 5 in the characteristics.
Leonhard, Yumia, Luna, Milia, Karite, Glesia… … .
Finally, me.
If you think about it that way, there were already 7 people.
So, considering Darsha’s place to participate, she had to grow to the point where she could beat all the other cadets at the current Central Academy in order to advance to the final eight.
“Then that’s it for today’s lecture. Thank you all for your hard work listening to the lecture. “Then everyone, let’s think about the Colosseum and try harder.”
As Carly, who continued speaking comfortably, subtly looked at me and left the classroom, I couldn’t get up from my seat right away.
“Eight people.”
Darsha’s muttering voice sounded strangely louder.
“Darsha… ?”
When I cautiously called out to her, Darsha burst into laughter and came face to face with me.
“It’s really going to be a lot harder than I thought.”
A car whose laughter had a strange meaning to me.
“Are you going to help me properly? “You know you have to take responsibility for what you say to me, right?”
Darsha showed a very unexpected reaction.
Her eyes did not have a look of resignation or of giving up.
It seems as if his will is burning even more… his eyes are full of intense will.
“Then of course I have to help.”
Even as I answered, I was surprised without realizing it.
It was surprising that Darsha didn’t change her mind even after hearing Kali’s words a moment ago.
“I really think I need to increase the intensity of my training starting today. “Somehow… I have to come in at least in seventh place.”
A laugh escaped her eyes as she seemed to know her own position.
‘Darsha.’
Actually, I was thinking that there was nothing I could do even if Darsha’s heart broke. However, seeing Darsha full of thoughts about training herself even more, I thought it was the best idea.
It is much better to try first than to give up.
“Then let’s go quickly.”
While I immediately got up from my seat and followed Darsha, I thought that I needed to train with her right now.
***
Eastern Academy at the same time.
There were many people in the A class training center.
Although the atmosphere was different from the Central Academy, the appearance of everyone devoting themselves to training was not much different.
And at the center of it all, there was someone who received even greater attention. A cadet who is the valedictorian of this year’s Eastern Academy and has not shaken his position as the strongest.
-Grande Pelua.
“I mean, Central Academy is different.”
The sight of a man smiling and speaking lightly was foreign.
His face was full of weariness, as if he was bored. The eyes full of composure under the dark brown hair, it was an appearance full of arrogance and conceit to anyone who saw it.
“Grande, don’t take it too lightly.”
When the woman with light blue short hair spoke coldly, Grande burst out laughing.
“Esil. I don’t take it too lightly either. “I’m just looking forward to seeing more of the Grand Colosseum in the future.”
“Speaking of which, you haven’t done much training recently.”
“Everyone only practices out of necessity. “If you think about efficiency, there’s no need to do any more than this.”
Despite what the woman called Esil said, Grande was just full of leisure.
“ha.”
Seeing Esil’s face as if she had no choice, Grande smiled and took her hand.
“Why are you sighing like that? Don’t you trust me?”
“believe. However, I feel like you are too conceited. They say there are no cadets to stop you in the East right now, but it’s definitely a different story in the Central or other academies. “I want you to try harder than you do now.”
“under… . “I find that attitude of yours even more surprising, even though you compete against me and lose every day and still think that way?”
“I am the head of the Central Academy. “I know something about Leonhard.”
When Esile mentioned another man’s name, Grande’s face immediately turned cold.
That was a name that came out of Esil’s mouth quite often.
Therefore, Grande also knew who Leonhardt was. But it is also something that Esil often mentions, even though she knows she is offended by it.
“I know you were close with that b*stard in the past. But Esil, why on earth do you say that that b*stard you haven’t seen in years is similar to me?”
“That’s just how I feel. Leonhard will definitely become stronger, so much so that he will never be inferior to you now… .”
As Esile spoke calmly and avoided eye contact, Grande burst into laughter while holding her hand tightly.
“I hope the time comes when we can face each other quickly. How strong is it that you say that? “I want to destroy that b*stard with my own hands as soon as possible.”
As Grande’s words were filled with strong will, Esil looked at him in silence.
“…….”
Grande, who reflects strong jealousy, was strong even in her eyes.
‘I can’t deny it.’
It was clear that Grande was stronger than any cadet I had ever seen.
The legendary attribute he possesses is Earthquake.
Grande, who wields earth-type powers at will, cannot last even a few minutes even if any cadet from the current Eastern Academy confronts her.
Even if I were to fight with all my might, I could barely hold out.
That’s how Grande’s power was an overwhelming characteristic and enormous power.
‘but… .’
What on earth is this anxiety I feel right now?
Considering the absolute will of Leonhard, whom I had hung out with during my childhood, I could not have thought that Leonhard would be weak.
But there was something fundamentally different about it.
My characteristics seemed to keep hinting at me.
There is ‘something’.
There is no doubt that Grande will perform well at the Grand Colosseum next time… .
From noble mtl dot come
The anxiety that something wouldn’t work the way it is now didn’t go away.
“Grande.”
“Tell me, Eshil.”
“…If you reach level 6, I intend to grant you what I have been wishing for.”
As I put it bluntly, it was like a kind of gambling.
“…!”
Grande’s eyes widened for a moment. Even as I looked at Grande, who was looking at me with eyes full of disbelief, this felt like a huge statement to me.
Conscious of my past relationship with Leonhard, I continued to keep my distance from Grande even though she and I became lovers.
That’s because I didn’t become romantically involved with Grande because I wanted to.
Above all, I didn’t promise my future to Grande.
“Esil, so you’re saying you’ll get engaged to me?”
“okay. As long as you can reach attribute level 6 before the Grand Colosseum. “I will take your word for it.”
I didn’t tell you to win at the Grand Coliseum.
If Grande reaches attribute level 6, the win will be confirmed.
Nod.
When I gently nodded, I saw Grande’s face immediately brighten up.
Wow!
“I didn’t know you thought of me that much.”
While listening to Grande’s joyful voice, I bit my lip tightly.
‘This is the right thing to do.’
The conversation between the families has already ended. I just can’t make up my mind, so we’re just maintaining an awkward relationship with each other.
…and I thought I shouldn’t put it off any longer.
To put off making a decision while thinking about Leonhard, the Leonhard I know would already have several women by his side.
‘therefore… .’
I also had to choose.
“Esil, I will definitely reach level 6 of the trait, and I will even dedicate the Grand Colosseum victory to you.”
I smiled softly as I heard Grande’s meaningful voice without any arrogance.
This ignited a strong fire in Grande’s heart, which was full of pride and arrogance.
‘I’m sorry, Leonhard.’
