Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 565
565. The Grand Colosseum Begins – Held (2)
***
It’s crowded.
The Colosseum Special Stadium was now truly filled with so many people.
Originally, it was a place where gladiators and knights of each family competed, but this time of year, it transformed into a space with a completely different meaning.
ㅡGrand Colosseum.
Eight people from each academy, including the central academy, will be selected to participate.
A ‘competition’ will be held to determine the most outstanding cadet among the cadets admitted this year.
As so many talented cadets participate, the imperial family naturally sends people, and even high-ranking nobles and famous families travel to the capital of the empire to see the Colosseum.
As the Colosseum was open to even ordinary citizens of the empire, interest in the Academy, which usually only nobles or the most outstanding people of the year could enter, was higher than ever.
Therefore, the Grand Colosseum itself was like a ‘giant festival venue.’
People from other countries, including the people of the empire, knew that they would not be able to see them anywhere other than during this time, so they deliberately made time to visit the capital of the empire in advance.
And now.
The Central Academy cadets who were sitting in the waiting room of the Colosseum were looking at each other in a bit of surprise.
Now it was a kind of waiting time.
Now, just before appearing in the center of the Colosseum. They could not hide their surprise when they saw the crowd of people.
“I thought about it to some extent, but I never thought it would be like this.”
“I didn’t know there would be so many people in the capital.”
As Leonhard and Yumia talked, the people present also sympathized with their words.
The number of spectators in the Colosseum was endless. It was a crowd of people whose number exceeded a few thousand and seemed to be in the tens of thousands.
“Even the clothes they’re wearing are so different, so it’s quite awkward.”
As Cheonseong touched the pure white cadet uniform he was wearing, Millia, who was right next to him, smiled softly.
“It suits you pretty well, though.”
“okay?”
“huh. “I actually like the clothes I’m wearing now much better than the existing cadet uniforms.”
As Milia said, all of the Central Academy cadets currently in the waiting room were wearing the same clothes.
The color representing ‘Central Academy’ in the Grand Colosseum is white, and the pattern engraved on one shoulder is in the shape of a ‘dragon’.
“Today we’ll only have a light introduction and match-up, so there’s no need to be nervous.”
Then, when Glesia suddenly joined the conversation, Cheonseong looked at her and smiled lightly.
‘I guess you could see that I was nervous.’
Although I was aware of that, I did not play the game today as it was the day of the Grand Colosseum.
Instead, the players from each academy go on stage and make their own introductions before deciding on the match-up.
And that too in front of tens of thousands of spectators… .
‘It’s very different from just looking at it.’
I watched the episode about the Grand Colosseum with a light heart. But since I was supposed to participate in the Grand Colosseum in person, I felt very different.
A place to prove my existence in front of many people. It was like the first time I had been to a place where a long time had passed.
Unlike at existing academies where I was recognized by many instructors, this one allowed me to show my existence to key people outside of the academy.
‘There’s more at stake than you think.’
So, winning is a win, but I was also aware that my future actions could be quite different depending on how well I perform here.
“Anyway, they say we’re the first, so we need to make it look as good as possible.”
While paying attention to Luna’s calm words, she glanced at a woman a little distance away from her.
Transparent eyes with jet-black hair down to her waist.
It was Azazel.
“Can I really represent you?”
For some reason, I asked again.
The representative of the Central Academy. Afterwards, he naturally had to choose his representative cadet when he went on stage at the Colosseum.
In fact, I thought it was definitely not me. Although it was sudden, I thought that since Azazel’s existence was revealed, she should take charge.
however.
“How can I become a representative after joining midway? Han Tiansheng, I think it is right for you to represent the Central Academy.”
Azazel lightly denied the position.
“…Okay, then I get it.”
So rather than talking to her any more, I accepted it as is.
The pain of Azazel’s malicious actions against Darsha still remained in his heart.
However, I wasn’t so emotional that I expressed it in front of everyone.
Crash.
Then, with the sound of the door opening, a woman came in.
“We’re about to take center stage. Because I will lead you. “Everyone just needs to think about a brief introduction about themselves.”
“yes.”
“All right.”
As everyone responded to Carly’s voice, I felt the tension relax a little.
‘Because Kali is with us on this journey to the Colosseum.’
I didn’t think I would have much to worry about either.
Again.
Then, when she suddenly approached me, I stared at her blankly.
“The representative cadet will probably be asked a few more questions. In addition to self-introduction, the host may ask one or two questions. Don’t panic too much and answer calmly, okay?”
Her soft voice made me laugh.
“yes. Do not worry.”
In fact, although it was a little strange that I was a cadet representing the Central Academy, I thought I should accept it.
I am already in that position externally.
It was impossible to deny that and ignore reality.
“Okay then, let’s go now.”
After Kali’s light words, we started walking after her.
***
“Enter Central Academy!”
The loud voice of a man in the center of the Grand Colosseum’s stage immediately echoed throughout the Colosseum.
That in itself was like a use of mana that was difficult for the culprit to imagine.
The eyes of the spectators, who were filling up every space, soon turned to one entrance.
The first person to appear there was a woman with red hair.
From noble mtl dot come
It was Kali wearing a pure white instructor uniform, and each cadet following her caught the attention of the audience.
Wow!!
A huge shout that erupted at the same time enveloped the audience. A huge heat filled with excitement and anticipation immediately covered the entire Colosseum.
Several rumors have already spread in the world.
The news about the cadets at the Central Academy seemed like a pretty big topic of conversation. It was also a topic of great interest among the people of the empire among the rumors.
That’s the Grand Colosseum that opens every year.
Paying a high price to enter the Colosseum to watch the game was the most special fun among all the fun they could enjoy, so the cadets also had no choice but to be the subject of attention.
“…”
Even amidst such loud cheers, Kali calmly walked to the center of the stage.
And unlike Carly, several cadets followed her, clearly unable to hide their nervousness.
Again.
As soon as eight cadets, including Kali, stood on the center stage, the man in charge of hosting the Colosseum gave enthusiastic cheers and continued speaking.
“Everyone is welcome to the Colosseum! Now, let me introduce you to the cadets from the Central Academy who achieved even more outrageous results this year!”
… … .
The eyes of the audience, filled with great enthusiasm, were immediately focused on the stage, and among them were people from other academies.
Even though he knows that soon he too will have to stand on the center stage, he leaves the waiting room and looks at the Central Academy cadets standing on the stage.
A gold cadet uniform symbolizing the Western Academy, exclusive to the Grand Colosseum.
It was Neria Eudemia, she.
-Now, let’s start by meeting the cadets representing the Central Academy!
Grumbling… .
Among the silver hair disheveled by the heat in the Colosseum, Neria’s gaze fell on Cheonseong, who had quietly come forward at the right time.
Wow!
Cheers erupted from the audience again, and this time the voices of the female spectators rang out particularly loudly.
As expected, Cheonseong’s appearance on stage was already far outside the normal category.
ㅡSurprisingly, the cadet representing the Central Academy this year has no title! He proved his worth with his own talent and rose to the position of representing the Central Academy. A huge surprise! The one who surpassed the cadets of the Central Academy with just one spear! This is Han Cheon-seong!
Amidst the host’s over-the-top introduction, Neria gazed brightly at Cheonseong.
‘It’s definitely different.’
It was different from knowing what data was available through knowledge. When I met him in person like this, I definitely felt it.
Even though the distance was quite long, the energy I felt from that body was overwhelming.
The vastness of mana is incomparable to that of the other cadets who were present to participate in the Colosseum. She was also amazed as she noticed her appearance that stood out.
‘I said it was spearmanship.’
Even the level of the trait was common.
As for whether he has a family, he is not even that, but a commoner.
…As the host said, it was truly the strangest of all.
I didn’t know how many times I checked the data while looking at it. I wonder if there is something missing.
-Now, then, we should also hear about your determination to participate in the Colosseum!? Cadet Han Cheon-seong participated as a representative of the Central Academy! What kind of mindset do you have as you stand here now?
Afterwards, when the host gently continued the conversation, instead of answering, he was seen looking brightly as if he was looking around the Colosseum.
-I am here with the intention of defeating every opponent I face. And I hope many people at the Colosseum look forward to me. I am confident that I will show you more than what you expect.
I couldn’t believe it as I watched that voice, full of confidence and certainty, spread throughout the Colosseum thanks to mana.
‘Almost the same level as the host.’
Contrary to the host’s frivolous tone of voice, I thought that someone who had reached a fairly high level was in charge of hosting the Colosseum.
However, he displayed mana that could not be overshadowed by the voice introduced by the host, imprinting his presence on everyone in the Colosseum.
ㅡ…This is quite surprising. I never thought he would show such great confidence. I hope you all remember this too! The name of Han Cheon-seong, the representative cadet of the Central Academy… !
I gently raised my hand as the host’s voice rang louder.
Sreuk.
I nodded while gently straightening my silver hair that had become disheveled in the wind.
‘I need to focus more on Han Cheon-seong than on Glesia.’
It seemed best to focus on the meaning of the Grand Colosseum that way.
While thinking that, I looked next.
A woman with long black hair. In addition, her appearance was on a different level from that of other beings.
…Even I was filled with admiration for a moment while watching it.
‘It was definitely called Azazel.’
It was like another monster that I encountered too late.
Compared to Han Cheon-seong, who had a lot of information, there was almost no information about Azazel.
Nevertheless, he was someone who needed to be watched just as much as Han Cheon-seong.
ㅡBefore I introduce the cadets that will be introduced later, I dare you! I call her the most beautiful flower of Central Academy!
