Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 554



554. Conversation between Han Cheon-seong and Kellysia

***

“You have business for me?”

“uh. “He is one of the instructors at the Southern Academy, and he said he would like to see Cadet Han Cheon-seong in person.”

After finishing training with Darsha, Cheonseong was about to head straight to the A-class training center, but for a moment, Cheonseong had to face Kali who came to visit him.

And now, as we headed to the academy’s reception room together, Cheonseong heard the whole story and burst into laughter.

‘Still, is it worth coming to see me in person?’

I knew from Carly long ago that rumors about me had spread to other academies in quite shocking ways.

It was Carly who informed me about various news, knowingly or unknowingly, so I was not completely unaware of the current situation.

“Seeing how you spoke carefully and asked for a favor, I thought it would be right to make time to meet you. “You didn’t really disturb me, did you?”

“yes. sure.”

I nodded lightly to her words and my heart did not waver.

I wasn’t letting my guard down ahead of the Grand Colosseum, but I wasn’t losing confidence in myself either.

“From what I heard, you said you would have a short conversation, so Cadet Han Cheon-seong should be able to spend some time comfortably. Moreover, even if the other person is an instructor, he or she is an instructor from another academy, so there is nothing to worry about.”

“yes. All right.”

After calming down with Kali’s words, I was soon able to arrive in front of the living room.

Sreuk.

“Then see you tomorrow?”

I let out a small smile as I watched Carly walking away while gently holding my hand tightly.

“Yes, Instructor Kali.”

When there were no people around, she gave me light skinship like this and I thought it was a little cute, so I felt good for no reason.

Crash.

With that said, I entered the living room where I soon arrived.

‘I don’t know who he is, but if he’s an instructor who comes to see me… .’

Maybe he is a meaningful person in his own way.

The moment I walked in, I felt a distinct gaze.

It felt like my body’s senses responded more than seeing someone with my own eyes.

“…ah.”

I spoke first as the woman paused for a moment while looking at me.

“hello. It is called Han Cheon-seong. “I heard you were looking for me.”

“yes that’s right. First, let’s take a seat. “I’m really happy to meet you like this.”

The first impression of the woman who spoke calmly, as if she immediately regained her composure, was very neat.

Her short red hair and cold impression made me realize at first glance that she had a very calm personality.

Sreuk.

As I gently sat down across from her in the living room, I rearranged my collar.

‘I didn’t know it was a female instructor.’

Since Carly led the way calmly, I assumed it would be a male instructor.

So even though I was a little embarrassed, I soon made eye contact.

“Let me introduce myself first. I am in charge of the A2 class at Southern Academy. My name is Kellysia Perillian. Nice to meet you again.”

“…I think you probably know my name, so I’ll keep it brief. “It’s called Han Tiansheng.”

“yes. “I know something about Cadet Han Cheon-seong.”

As expected, I shook my head as I saw her answer as if she knew me.

The name Kellysia was not something that impressed me or a name I had ever heard of in the past. Nevertheless, if you are an instructor in charge of Class A, your position within the academy will not be small.

“I heard that Instructor Kelisia came from a long way to see me. You can feel free to ask any questions you have. “If there is anything I can answer, I will do my best.”

Rather than saying something else, I told him what I needed to say.

“yes… . “I will do that.”

The way she looked at me while answering carefully was, what can I say, blatant yet subtle at the same time.

Although he never once took his eyes off my body, I never felt like he was looking at me with a deep gaze.

‘I guess I’ll just take a quick look.’

So it was a very strange feeling to be stared at.

“What kind of tea would you like to serve you two?”

Then, upon hearing the words of the staff member waiting in the reception room, the scent of tea suited to each person’s taste began to spread inside.

Good, good.

While I was looking at the tea cup being quickly placed on the table, my eyes suddenly fell on her.

Hands gathered in various places on knees.

The uniforms of the instructors at the Central Academy and other academies were no different, and the pure white hands gathered neatly on the knees of the black uniform felt extremely cautious.

‘Are you possibly nervous?’

When she, the instructor, looked at me to see if that was the case, I made eye contact with her.

“……”

“……”

As the gazes crossed, I calmly stared into the eyes.

There was no reason to avoid her gaze and no reason for me to remain low-key in this situation.

The main thing was that I was aware of that myself.

My current position at Central Academy. And what is my reputation now?

So, I had to show a corresponding attitude.

With as much confidence as possible, with an attitude that allows you to face it confidently.

“Honestly, until I met Cadet Han Cheon-seong face to face… I really wanted to ask him many questions. “My mind was just filled with thoughts about the question.”

“You can feel free to ask.”

As I answered calmly and still made eye contact with her, Instructor Kellysia suddenly smiled.

“…But after seeing it like this, I feel like my complicated mind has been sorted out in an instant. “It’s a bit surprising even to me.”

“Is that so… ?”

Even as she answered, her words sounded very strange.

‘I haven’t answered anything yet.’

But when the instructor said that she had resolved some of her doubts on her own, I wondered if this was something. Surprisingly, she seemed to be able to organize her thoughts just by looking at me.

“Whoa.”

Then, when she let out a deep sigh, I just calmly waited for her to speak.

That was when I carefully sipped black tea and created a situation where she could speak more comfortably. Finally she spoke to me.

“Then, as my first question, I’ll ask what I’m most curious about.”

“yes.”

“Have you ever felt a big wall?”

Tuk.

Her voice was extremely calm.

And even though I saw that her eyes were extremely serious as she stared at me, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Why are you smiling?”

“…Oh, no. sorry. Instructor. I didn’t laugh in a bad way, but because it was a question I hadn’t even thought about. To answer your question, of course there is.”

‘wall.’

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a ‘limitation of oneself’ that one often encounters before moving on to the next level.

“Of course?”

As I looked at Instructor Kelisia asking questions as if she was surprised by my answer, I felt like I was going to burst out laughing even more.

***

“I can only say that it is natural. Actually, I don’t know how much Instructor Kellysia knows about me. “Do you know that I have received several threats from the Apostle?”

The voice of nature that asked carefully sounded so calm to Kellysia.

So, while nodding her head, Kellysia immediately agreed.

“yes. i know.”

I didn’t know how many times I checked the data before coming here.

“Then it might be easier for me to explain. I think I almost felt my limitations every time I faced an apostle during the last few crises. “Every time I faced a crisis, I felt like I was standing on the edge of death, and I felt like I didn’t have enough strength.”

I felt even more strange as he calmly explained quite heavy topics.

‘I felt a wall every moment… .’

From the vast amount of mana I could feel from the moment I entered the living room, as well as the composure I felt from his calm demeanor, I immediately thought he was a genius.

It was said that the extraordinaryness was visible at first sight to the extent that it unconsciously reminded me of Anastasia, whom I had encountered in the past.

So, even though I asked about the wall, I was skeptical.

“Every time such a crisis came, Cadet Han Cheon-seong… didn’t his heart break?”

Even though it was between an instructor and a cadet, I knew my question was rude. But even though I knew that, I couldn’t help but ask.

‘The heart definitely grows stronger in times of crisis.’

Just as the ground hardens after rain, the mind can also grow stronger in times of crisis.

but.

No matter how much it may be, from a cadet’s perspective, being an ‘apostle’ was like some kind of natural disaster. The moment they face each other, they keenly feel the difference in rank and power with their bodies.

That’s why most people lose their will to fight before even trying.

“…”

I carefully met the gaze of Cadet Han Cheon-seong, who was looking at me without saying a word.

If he showed the slightest sign of displeasure, I had the intention of offering an apology, even though I was an instructor.

“I couldn’t break it.”

“I couldn’t break it… .”

The answer I received was, contrary to expectations, calm.

And the meaning of the phrase ‘it did not break’ sounded different.

“Yes, I thought everything would end if I broke my heart, so I had to face reality. To be honest, I couldn’t say that I overcame all the crises on my own. But because I didn’t give up, I still saw the light.”

At some point, I just stared blankly at the calm tone that seemed to express exactly what I was thinking.

It was different from my first impression when I walked in.

Anastasia was called an incomparable genius among the many geniuses in the world.

I thought that Cadet Han Cheon-seong was definitely in the same category as her, but when I heard it in person, I felt very different.

‘How can this happen?’

A genius was bound to be defeated by another genius.

In that sense, I was very careful while teaching Delzen, who was like a gem.

In order to prevent Delzen from feeling too much of a barrier due to the difference in power between me, I thought carefully from the beginning and grew him as if I were cutting a rough stone into a beautiful jewel.

however.

The cadet in front of me was different.

A crisis that no one could replace.

Even though Sadora faced the biggest wall one after another, she maintained her integrity like this.

His spirit was not broken, and his personality was not at all out of balance or unstable in any way.

“……”

I realized that fact later through conversation.

He did not grow so much because he was a genius above geniuses, but he did not break down despite facing the ridiculous wall of repeated crises.

I can now naturally understand the growth, which is unbelievable based on the data.

‘I had no choice but to grow.’

I couldn’t even imagine that there would be someone with such a strong heart.

In the past, I felt this while serving at the front lines and seeing many officers and soldiers. How fragile humans are, how fragile our hearts are… .

But I felt like all my standards were being shattered by the one cadet right in front of me.

“Of course, that doesn’t mean I got over the crisis without any problems. “There were many times when I, too, was troubled and overcome by anguish.”

I hesitated with my lips as he added words as if to explain further.

After solving many questions, my mind soon became filled with other questions.

I was curious.

No matter how powerful or powerful one is, everyone is bound to experience frustration at times due to the inevitable reality.

“How can that be?”

“yes?”

From noble mtl dot come

“…Wasn’t Cadet Han Cheon-seong afraid at that moment when he faced the apostle?”

Even though I asked a little harder, I was now genuinely curious.

There’s definitely something about this cadet that I don’t know about.

It wasn’t just about having great power as a cadet.

‘There’s something very important.’

There was something about Cadet Han Cheon-seong that could not be seen in anyone other than a cadet.

“…Instructor Kelisia?”

“Answer me.”
