Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 544



544. A place I visit for the first time

***

-I understand why you talk to me like that… and that I have to do that. Actually, I don’t really want to understand, but since that’s how you feel, I’ll accept it.

-Still, if you try to use this incident as an excuse to distance yourself from me, I will come see you, so I am aware of that.

Rachel’s voice lingering in my head was powerful.

It was the most emotional thing she had ever said to me, and it stayed even deeper in my heart.

“Something… I still don’t know.”

It didn’t feel like the relationship ended cleanly as I blurted out words.

Even when I looked back, I couldn’t figure out why I had such great feelings for Rachel, and when on earth she had had feelings for me.

I’m sure if someone had feelings for me first, there would have been a clear inkling, but as it happened, she and I had nothing like that.

Because I never gave her, nor did I ever receive from her, the feeling that I was treating her with selfish interest.

But just like each other, we had the same feelings.

Even though I knew that it was a much better reality compared to what I assumed was the worst, it felt strange.

‘Could there be such a coincidence?’

Or is this also fate, like I felt when I saw her at the Magic Tower?

“Let’s believe that my choice… was the best.”

First, I corrected my mind.

Maybe I could have chosen to accept Rachel’s feelings.

I may have expressed strange feelings to her first, but it was Rachel who readily reached out. Because she was very considerate and expressed her sincere feelings about her relationship with me.

But I didn’t accept it.

That was my choice and reality now.

Because I feel like it’s too much for me to accept Rachel right now.

…Just thinking about the reality facing me now, I was actually busy every day. However, if Rachel had been accepted here, I wouldn’t have had any leeway.

The various rumors related to me will become even louder, and the imperial family will also express a clear interest in me. And I thought I was still immature to accept that easily.

It’s still not enough to stand alone and receive attention.

Jerk.

“…”

Even as I walked through the park in the middle of the night, laughter leaked out.

Lately I’ve been very confident in myself. Compared to the outstanding cadets in the current academy, I have grown at least two or three levels higher, and even after encountering the apostle in the past, I was able to finish by dealing with the apostle alone.

Although it is said that there was certainly a lot of help from Sir Isabel, I felt it intuitively.

I have grown to the point where I can now overcome the trials that have come my way on my own.

Therefore, I was evaluating myself as if I was a little intoxicated with my own power, going beyond confidence and bordering on arrogance.

However, an unexpected situation made me reflect on myself again.

Did I really reach that level and would the world think of me so highly?

I became aware of myself again.

“…every experience is helpful in some way.”

As I was at the park to erase the lingering memories of meeting Rachel and to make up for the personal training I had not completed, I felt like I had gained something greater than I expected.

Tuk.

I stopped for a moment and slowly looked around the park at night.

Perhaps it was because the night wind was slowly starting to get colder, but the park in my field of view felt particularly empty.

As I looked at the dreary scenery of the park, my mind slowly calmed down.

In any case, my relationship with Rachel, which was my top priority, ended.

And now it’s time for me to look ahead again.

“Grand Colosseum.”

What should I aim for during the remaining time?

As I gently took out the spear, I first thought about the episode called the Grand Colosseum.

Even though this world was very different from the one in the story, the main thread itself was still flowing in a similar way.

Major events were still happening in this world, and as a cadet at the academy, I was also caught up in those events.

In that sense, it was safe to say that the Grand Colosseum was one of the biggest events.

An event that is not a crisis but a crisis, but where you can gain the most from it.

‘Championship.’

Therefore, I had to win at the Grand Colosseum.

If the game is going on, Leonhard will win and receive a special magical engineering item.

It was like a precious treasure that shone brightly and supported Leonhard in the various crises to come.

‘Crimson Luna.’

Even the name of the treasure, meaning red moon, came to mind vividly.

Crimson Luna’s effect responds to the user’s mind and is a ruby ​​ring that increases the owner’s power.

Now all the crises are focused on me. It was like a treasure that must be possessed.

Originally, it was a magic engineering item that was most suitable considering the indomitable will of Leonhard, the protagonist of the story, but for me, that option was also very effective.

There was already a great will in my heart.

The biggest motivation for me was why I had to confront the apostles and why I had to erase them all from this world.

Because a huge hatred towards the apostle has always been in the back of my heart.

“If you think about it… you two will be doing well.”

Two children suddenly came to mind. The two children I managed to protect last time when I faced an apostle who was using humans as sacrifices.

Eric and Riel.

Eric, who was worried about the sick Riel, seemed so special that he spent all the money he had at the time to help her get treatment. Even thinking about it now, I don’t regret it.

“When the time comes… let’s go see each other again.”

Even as I spoke, laughter escaped me without my knowledge.

The hand holding the spear naturally gained strength, and it felt like my confused mind had finally been completely corrected.

***

Each day goes by quickly.

From noble mtl dot come

Time flowed smoothly no matter who tried to hold on to it or not, and in the meantime, each person’s days were passing equally.

For some, each day was such a waste, and they wished it would pass faster.

Before we knew it, it was Friday, just before the weekend.

Since finals had just ended, most lectures ended early, and the cadets were also spending their time differently.

… … .

Sreuk.

As I opened the classroom door and was about to head to the training ground, Cheonseong was a little surprised.

“…Glesia?”

Suddenly, I saw her standing in the hallway.

“hi. how have you been?”

When he approached me, speaking calmly, I was purely surprised.

“uh. “I had a good time.”

“Good. So, by the way, are you free today?”

The direct question instantly turned my gaze to the side.

“If it’s time… .”

I was willing to hang out with Darsha, who had recently shown a strong desire to practice. I was sparring with her and giving her my own advice to help her grow further, and that was originally planned to be the case today as well.

“uh. Do U have a time.”

Darsha answered my gaze instead of me.

Then, seeing Darsha glancing at me and smiling slightly, I awkwardly nodded.

It seemed like she had given up her time to me, and while I was grateful for that, I slowly looked at Glesia.

“Glesia, is there something important going on?”

“Not really. But I thought it was time for us to meet again.”

It was still a calm voice. But Glesia casually said something big to me.

-Isn’t it time for us to meet again?

As I had postponed the meeting for a while since last week out of consideration for the Apostle, it has already been quite a while since I have not been able to meet with Glesia.

“yes. “That too.”

“Then let’s go right away. “There’s a place I want to go with you today.”

When Glesia readily extended her hand, I was momentarily surprised.

Maybe it was because it was a long time coming, but she was very proactive.

Sreuk.

As we carefully held hands, Glesia led me as if it were natural.

Again.

When I suddenly looked behind me at the sound of calm footsteps, I awkwardly waved my hand as Darsha was laughing.

‘I’m sure he will train well.’

Since it was a long time since I met Glesia, I felt like I should focus on her today.

“So where are you going now?”

“You’ll find out when you get there.”

“You’ll know when you go. Glesia?”

… … .

As I moved along Glesia, I was able to arrive at a completely unexpected place.

In the meantime, Glesia and I have had many meetings and visited many places, so we have been to many places worth visiting.

however.

The space she guided me to was completely different from before.

Slam!

When I opened the door, I immediately saw an empty sky.

rooftop.

It was the rooftop of the academy.

“Why is the Glesia rooftop… ?”

At that time, I paused while looking at Glesia, who was still leading me while holding my hand.

Tuk.

Only then did she stop walking and turn to me.

“To give you a good experience.”

“On this rooftop?”

“uh. I heard you’ve been pretty busy lately too. “I heard a rumor that you have a very close relationship with Princess Rachel?”

At that moment, I thought it was Glesia.

For some reason, every word I spoke out casually sounded like some kind of storm.

“What a close meeting, Glesia. “It’s not like that.”

Actually, that almost happened, but I ended my relationship with Rachel before that happened.

“okay? Anyway, it seemed like you would always live fiercely every day.”

“Well, that’s right. Because every day is a bit busy. So what exactly is a good experience?”

Glesia looked a little different as she held my hand more tightly while speaking to me.

‘It feels like the old Glesia somehow.’

After she realized Lethe’s wind skill, the feeling of her feeling awkward and distant from me had completely disappeared, as of today.

It feels like we have gone back to the past when we were comfortable with each other.

“Hey. Han Tiansheng, don’t you want to fly in the sky?”

And at that time, Glesia spoke with a very pure smile.

“sky… ?”

Even though I blinked for a moment, I didn’t immediately understand what she said.

But at that moment, I saw it with my eyes.

Hwiyuwoong… !

A sudden wind blows and embraces Glesia, and the sight of her floating on the ground.

“…!”

When I opened my eyes wide, Glesia gently took my hand and led me.

I swallowed my saliva while being drawn to him in a daze.

Hwiyuwoong… !

The wind that blew like a gentle breeze naturally pushed me, as if supporting my feet.

A car that felt extremely foreign,

“Slow down and look at me.”

Glesia spoke calmly.
