Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 548



548. The Upcoming Grand Colosseum – Kali’s Office (3)

***

Meanwhile, Kali’s personal office.

Carly and Cheonsung were present in the space that would normally be left empty on weekends.

Good, good.

Cheonseong, who was staring at Kali as she organized the materials, carefully touched her teacup.

‘What on earth is this?’

I arrived at the office after receiving her call outside of the weekend, but I didn’t know why she called me.

If it had been her personal training room, I would have understood that she was trying to help me, but her office had a completely different feel.

“First of all, Cadet Han Cheonseong, I’m sorry for calling you like this on the weekend.”

“No, I’m fine. “By the way, instructor, what’s going on?”

“First of all, didn’t you say a few days ago that Cadet Han Cheon-seong was going to the Grand Colosseum?”

I nodded as I saw Carly smiling at my words.

“yes. That’s right.”

I answered without thinking. Naturally, I first informed her of my intention to participate.

Since the Grand Colosseum is a big event that I must experience, it is no exaggeration to say that I expressed my intention to participate before anyone else to my instructor, Carly.

“Then that’s a relief. I think it is something that other academy instructors or instructors at the current Central Academy can do at their own discretion, but I also called cadet Han Cheon-seong because I wanted to help him with the Colosseum.”

After Kali’s gentle words, she gently handed me the information she had organized.

Sreuk.

Even as I accepted the data, I asked first.

“Can I check these materials?”

“Well, I wanted Cadet Han Cheon-seong to know in advance, so I organized it separately. The materials contain information about cadets from each academy who have been confirmed to participate in the Grand Colosseum. “It may not be information about all of the cadets who will be participating, but it will definitely be of great help to know the characteristics of the cadets you will be dealing with in advance.”

As her voice explained calmly, I immediately began checking the materials I had picked up one by one.

—-

[Name: Lysis Catalina]

[Gender: Female

[Academy from: Southern Grand Royal Academy]

[Attribute: Pyrowind (Unique Grade)]

[Attribute Level: 5]

[Personality: He is hot-tempered and quite energetic, and as he possesses both the elements of fire and wind, his personality can vary greatly… … ]

… …

[Comprehensive performance evaluation: Ranked 1st in the practical section and 4th in the written section, he can be evaluated as an excellent cadet who ranked 2nd in the overall performance evaluation, and is eligible to participate in the Grand Colosseum]

—-

I was a little surprised just by looking at the first page of the material.

‘It’s explained in quite detail.’

It was also stated quite specifically about the cadets who would participate in the Grand Colosseum, which I vaguely remembered.

Even as I looked at everything, including name, gender, type of characteristics, personality, and overall grades, I stopped for a moment.

“Am I really allowed to see this?”

While I was watching it, I inadvertently asked a question.

As a current cadet, I felt somewhat uncomfortable, wondering if it was okay for me to look at other cadets’ profiles like this.

“are you okay. “From the time the Grand Colosseum is held, all information about participating cadets will be made public.”

“So this is information that will be made public.”

I mumbled absentmindedly and let out a laugh.

It was a really strange feeling. The purpose of the Grand Colosseum competition itself was to determine the best cadets among the admitted cadets, but in a larger sense, it was like a ‘festival’.

The best cadets from various academies gather in Edelphia, the capital of the empire, and compete against each other in the huge Colosseum located in the capital to prove their worth in front of countless people.

The Colosseum is also open to the imperial family, high-ranking nobles, and general citizens of the empire to view.

‘Because fairness is important in that sense.’

The plan was to start by informing everyone about the cadets who would participate.

“Information about Cadet Han Cheon-seong is probably circulating in other academies by now. And if I found out about it and only Cadet Han Tiansheng doesn’t know the other academy cadets, wouldn’t it be unreasonable?”

I could even feel Callie’s heart as she looked at me with a gentle smile.

It was unexpected help and consideration.

And this was like a kind of exploratory battle before the actual competition. Before competing for the right male and female, they need to know each other so they can prepare better.

Sreuk.

Slurp.

As I carefully looked at each piece of information, I soon saw the name of a familiar cadet.

Their characteristics were also explained, which caught my eye again.

[Name: Grande Pelua]

[Attribute: Earthquake (Legendary Grade)]

[Academy from: Eastern Grand Royal Academy]

[Attribute Level: 5]

…

[Name: Neria Eudemia]

[Attribute: Ice Mirror (Legendary Grade)]

[Academy from: Western Grand Royal Academy]

[Attribute Level: 5]

…

In addition, there were a few cadets whose names came to mind only after seeing them.

Although there were parts that were explained in more detail regarding the characteristics, it was not possible to know everything about them through simple documents.

You can just see what kind of outline it has in the larger frame.

“So what? Are there any cadets who are interested in looking at the material?”

From noble mtl dot come

“yes. “That’s quite a lot.”

“There are a lot of interesting cadets?”

Carly’s playful question made me laugh too.

One of the few people who has watched me grow up. And Carly, who was one of the people who knew the true nature of my power, might find my reaction strange.

Because I would definitely think that I was more advanced than the other cadets.

“Even if I think I’m higher, having legendary characteristics makes me think twice. And to tell you how I feel right now, I don’t think this Grand Colosseum is going to be that easy.”

“Have you been thinking about it that carefully? That’s a bit unexpected. I don’t want Cadet Han Cheon-seong to be arrogant or careless, but I think he can have a little more confidence in himself.”

Looking at her eyes full of trust, a smile that I couldn’t hide for a moment leaked out.

‘It’s natural for Kali to react like this.’

Kali, who knows my true nature, has no choice but to value me even more highly, and if I look at my power from the perspective of a third party, most people’s perspectives will not be much different from Kali’s perspective.

Even if you think the winner is decided before the competition even starts, it’s not that strange.

Attribute level 6 was a state where there was a markedly large gap from the previous level, level 5.

The body sometimes achieves rapid growth close to perfection, and the power of the characteristics is refined, reaching a kind of maturity.

“Neria Eudemia.”

“…huh?”

“I think her ice quality is quite threatening.”

“Are you already thinking that much just by looking at the data?”

“yes. “As I don’t know the exact circumstances of other academies, I think we need to be careful with all cadets who entered at the top of their class.”

Although she said it a little differently, she was the most cautious person in this Colosseum.

“It’s a good mindset. Personally, I think Cadet Han Cheon-seong can relax a little more, but I never thought he would be so tight-lipped. “I don’t think this attitude is bad.”

Despite Kali’s voice saying she was pleased to see me like that, I wasn’t just looking at her that way out of caution.

‘Binggyeong.’

A strange power that creates another being made of ice.

The characteristic of Neria’s Ice Spirit was like an episode in the story that most clearly showed how vast the power the category of characteristics contained.

Originally, ‘character’ was a power that responded to a person’s mind.

However, Bing-kyung completely embodies her feelings into reality. She projects her ideal self and is able to fully demonstrate its power.

In other words, her power was the power to make ‘imagination’ become reality.

Tuk.

Then, when I felt a sensation in my hand, I woke up from my thoughts.

“Cadet Han Cheon-seong.”

“…Oh, yes. “Instructor”

When I answered belatedly and made eye contact with her, I saw Carly narrowing her eyes strangely.

“Aren’t you particularly interested in her because she’s a female cadet?”

When she asked the question so mischievously, a moment of laughter escaped me. The complicated thoughts that filled her head seemed to disappear at once, and she was able to look at reality.

“Is that possible? “I just thought he was a cadet who needed to be more careful.”

“Besides, were you looking too closely at Cadet Neria’s appearance in Han Cheon-seong’s cadet data?”

“I was just lost in thought.”

He simply avoided it and completely denied the suspicion.

In fact, not only was Neria’s Ice Blade characteristic, but Grande Pelua, who also possessed the Earthquake characteristic, was not an easy opponent.

As long as he set foot on the ground, all areas were within the man’s range. If I let my guard down, I might get hit in an instant.

“Anyway, I showed the data about them to Cadet Han Cheon-seong first, but I plan to show the same data to cadets Luna and Millia who will be visiting in a little while.”

“So you two have also been confirmed as participants in the Colosseum?”

“that’s right. Among the instructors, there is already no doubt about the talent of the two people, and Cadet Han Cheon-seong may have already guessed it, but almost all of the seats for our Central Academy’s Grand Colosseum participants have already been confirmed.”

As I watched Carly explain carefully, I understood.

Although it was not announced externally, it was in fact confirmed. Currently, regardless of the number of academies, there are not many cadets who have reached level 5 in the characteristics.

As for other academies, only the cadets who entered at the top of their class this year have reached level 5.

‘But in this central academy where I am… .’

There were quite a few cadets who showed such unrealistically rapid growth.

The minimum is 7 people.

smart.

Then a knock on the door caught my attention.

“I guess the two of you arrived just then.”

As Carly stood up with a grin, I quietly organized the materials I had seen and placed them on the table.

Crash.

Soon the door opened and I saw two women who were familiar to me.

“Welcome, you two.”

“Hello, Instructor Kali.”

“Excuse me.”

The two people entered inside, being welcomed by Kali. Among them, Milia paused for a moment while looking at me, and I was equally surprised.

“Han Tiansheng… ?”

In addition, I was even more puzzled when Luna answered in a blank voice.

‘Is it so surprising that you met me in Carly’s office?’

***

Sreuk. Slurp.

With the sound of materials being tossed around, Luna and Millia looked seriously at the materials that Kali had distributed.

And among them, Millia could hardly concentrate on the data given.

“……”

Her shaking eyes continued to stare at Cheon-seong in the distant space from time to time.

blank stare. Sensing her endless gaze, Cheonsung flinched and made eye contact with her, but Millia, who was startled, repeatedly avoided his gaze.

Luna, who secretly noticed this, laughed to herself.

‘If it’s a coincidence, it’s a really amazing coincidence… .’

Even though I saw Millia’s attitude, I couldn’t get used to it.

At that time, I was leading Milia to visit Han Tian-seong. As soon as we left the training room, we had to receive an untimely call from Instructor Kali.

And the result.

Ironically, I was able to meet Han Tiansheng.

“Instructor Kali. “Is it still only data on five people?”

“According to confirmed information, yes. “Because other academies have not already confirmed the majority of participants like our central academy.”

Even as I nodded absentmindedly at Instructor Kali’s voice, my eyes went back to the data.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the names of the cadets written in the materials were ones I had heard of at least once somewhere.

No matter how far away you were from the capital of the empire, you would hear news about them knowingly or unknowingly.

And when I became familiar with all the material, my impressions were a bit strange.

‘What can I say, it’s more specific than I thought… … .’

Even though he was the head of another academy, he didn’t really feel like a threat.

Honestly, it all seemed worth doing.

The only information I can find about them is that they have reached level 5 and that their attribute level is Legendary, but to me right now, those features don’t even impress me.

It’s been a while since I reached level 5 in the same characteristics as them, and even if there was a difference in attribute levels, I wasn’t even that conscious of it anymore.

“The more I look at the data, the more amazing it feels.”

Even as I opened my mouth, my eyes suddenly turned to Han Cheon-seong.

“Interesting?”

I strangely laughed as I saw Han Tiansheng answering my gaze.

“Maybe it’s just because I look at you, but when I look at the data on other academy cadets, it doesn’t feel like you’re that strong.”

No matter how many Legendary characteristics he possessed, Han Tiansheng, a common grader, was right in front of me.

He was also the first person to confirm participation in the Grand Colosseum.

Even when I first entered the Academy, I would have felt that the gap between Legendary and Common was incomparable, but not now.

Anyway, I know that Han Cheon-seong is stronger than anyone else in this data.

“Luna, the people in that data are probably a lot stronger than you think.”

“Yes, definitely so.”

I answered as if I was completely embarrassed, but honestly, it was ridiculous.

Among the other cadets in the data we have just checked, none of them reached level 6 in their characteristics.

That was natural. Do you know what an absurd growth rate that is?

And as someone who sparred with Han Tiansheng in person, I honestly only wondered how strong the other cadets were.

Han Tiansheng’s sincerity.

Although I had heard rumors about the previous sparring with Leonhard, I instinctively felt that Han Tiansheng had not yet used his true power.

Even now, I can feel the huge traces of mana in his body as if I were breathing.

‘There is this ridiculous monster right in front of me… .’

Saying that he was wary of other academy cadets only sounded ridiculous to me.

“right. Han Tiansheng, are you free today?”

Then, he suddenly spoke and looked at Milia.

“…!”

When Han Cheon-seong was mentioned openly, Millia looked at him in surprise. I found Millia’s attitude to be really frustrating.

“I have time, why?”

Cha was about to continue speaking as he looked at Han Cheon-seong, who answered calmly.

For a moment, I paused.

The reason I stopped was not because of Millia or Han Tiansheng who were looking at me right now.

“… … .”

It was because Instructor Kali was giving me an extremely strange look.
