Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 573



573. Gap in time – Azazel

***

Free time after all games.

Naturally, I end up spending time with the academy’s group.

It wasn’t because someone acted that way, but everyone felt that way. That we will all act together during this Colosseum period.

“…”

In that sense, times like now were very strange.

Of the eight cadets from Central Academy who participated in the Colosseum, six cadets get along well with each other.

It is safe to say that Leonhard actually acts separately from Yumia, and since Luna and Milia are best friends, they naturally act together no matter what they do.

Glesia and Karite strangely agree with each other more than expected, so they act together.

Until then, I never felt like I fit in with them…

Coincidentally, such a strange time arose today.

“Han Tiansheng, do you want to just act personally?”

I paused for a moment when I heard Azazel’s voice ask a question, but then shook my head.

“no. “If it’s okay with you, I want you to act together.”

As I spoke, my eyes naturally went to her.

He had long black hair hanging down, and his face was full of a calm and relaxed look.

At first glance, it seemed as if he was feeling languid and not tied down to anyone. But those eyes were different.

He shows a strange interest in me.

It was clear because I felt eyes on me the last few days.

“Well, okay. Then, I guess so.”

Afterwards, when Azazel started walking, my mind was honestly confused as I kept pace with her.

‘Whoa…’

To be honest, as I swallowed a small sigh, I felt repulsed just by looking at Azazel.

To put it mildly, I had no interest in Azazel.

I didn’t want to be with her to the point that I almost accepted it when she first told me that it was a personal action.

‘But I need to know.’

The strange behavior she showed during her last sparring with Darsha.

As she ended the sparring with Darsha as if trampling on her, she did not feel the slightest bit of guilt or regret, and the smile that suddenly appeared on her face made me wonder what the essence of her was.

If I was going to face them in the next match at the Colosseum, I wanted to find out properly.

Are my eyes looking at people wrong or not?

“What do you want for dinner?”

“Let’s just eat what you want, because I’m not the type to be picky about food.”

“okay? Then, I guess so.”

A face-to-face conversation took place like that.

We rarely made eye contact with each other, and even as we walked around the city together, we were just indifferent to each other.

Maybe it was natural.

The end of our last breakup wasn’t good.

Just as I don’t look favorably on Azazel right now, she also has no reason to look favorably on me.

Jing!

When I opened the door of a restaurant and entered, I saw a deserted interior.

“Here, please give me two dark beers.”

“yes~”

I was a little surprised to see Azazel naturally sitting at the table and ordering.

“Have you ever been here?”

From noble mtl dot come

“why not?”

“It’s kind of amazing that there’s a place like this with no people.”

As it is the Colosseum hosting period, the city is crowded with people. No matter where I went, there were so many people that it was difficult to find a quiet place.

But you came to a place like this.

“I came here on purpose because there didn’t seem to be many people. “Personally, I don’t like loud noises.”

I nodded quietly at the calm voice.

Good, good.

Soon after, the waiter served me a dark beer, and I glanced lightly.

And then again, it was a strange feeling.

‘Because drinking was prohibited within the academy.’

Opportunities to drink alcohol were completely blocked. However, you can drink alcohol outside of the city.

It was really natural. Because we are all adults.

But no one at our academy has ever ordered alcohol.

gulp.

I looked at Azazel who was calmly tipping his glass, and then I also tipped my glass.

“……”

It had a bitter yet heavy taste that was good.

It’s not bad.

Then, when I looked at Azazel, she was looking at me askance, resting her chin.

“Han Tiansheng, are you angry with me?”

“Cough!”

When a voice asked a question, I stopped drinking my beer and suddenly started coughing.

“Suddenly… what do you mean?”

As I urgently wiped my mouth and straightened up my appearance, my heart calmed down.

“I just think so. The way they look at me is different from how other kids look at me. So no?”

Looking at Azazel as if he had come here to say that… I let out a small sigh.

It was too late to hide it, no, they had already found out.

As if giving off quite a strange feeling, Azazel seemed to be quite sensitive to other people’s emotions.

“Rather than saying I’m mad at you, I just don’t like you.”

So I answered directly.

I didn’t have the confidence to say that I had feelings for the person who had hurt my close friend, no matter how nice it may be.

“okay? “As expected, it was like that.”

When I heard that there was no particular shock to my answer, I was just… calm.

“So Azazel, you hate me too.”

Even though they are together like this, they hate each other.

The reason is also clear. That’s why I thought it would be easier to talk about it.

“Why do I hate you?”

Azazel smiled for a moment and responded.

For a moment, I couldn’t understand the sight of her smiling despite me openly saying no.

“…no?”

“I think you deserve to think that way. Because I wasn’t able to properly resolve what happened with Darsha in the past. That’s why you hate me. I understand you like that. So even if you hate me, I don’t really hate you.”

Even as I watched Azazel continue speaking without hesitation, my eyes became blurry.

‘What on earth are we going to do?’

I really had no desire to get along with Azazel at all.

But then you suddenly talk to me like that.

‘Then why…? .’

Did he hurt Darsha that much in the last sparring?

Even though there was no need to do so, Darsha was brutally trampled on under ridiculous pretext.

But I thought that if I was someone who could get along with someone so easily, I shouldn’t act like that.

It was contradictory in itself.

Sreuk.

“Let’s order dinner first, I like talking while eating.”

Seeing her speaking calmly while flipping through the menu, I couldn’t understand Azazel even more.

***

Time spent as a human.

It would be no exaggeration to say that Azazel’s days were pretty boring most of the time.

I didn’t like being looked at by many people, and it wasn’t good because I felt extremely isolated when I was doing something on my own.

It seemed like a contradiction from the beginning.

–An apostle who hates humans the most even though he is among humans.

However, one cannot deny that one has become a perfect human being. For Azazel, who had accepted reality, he had to feel an extremely strange feeling every day.

And there were times when that feeling disappeared.

It’s interesting without being boring.

That was because he was directly facing the ‘goal of becoming human’.

Ok.

“bon appetite.”

“yes.”

I could see various foods placed in front of me along with the waiter’s voice.

Two-thirds of them were what Han Tiansheng ordered, and the rest were mine.

“Eat well.”

“uh. you also.”

Even as I faced Han Tiansheng, who answered awkwardly, laughter suddenly leaked out.

‘It was definitely as I thought.’

The goal set a few days ago was a clear success.

I was able to confirm from the previous conversation that I was imprinted on Han Cheon-seong by intentionally trampling her during a sparring match with a human named Darsha.

He quite hates me.

Han Tiansheng did not hide his feelings of almost hostility toward me at all.

So I was rather surprised.

‘There is no such lie.’

I thought even with empty words, Han Tiansheng would say that he didn’t hate me.

Because that is the behavior of most humans.

Even if they hate it on the inside, they hide their true feelings on the outside to maintain the relationship. Compared to other races, it was a particularly false attitude towards humans, and it was also something I hated the most.

Hiding the truth, creating a relationship with lies.

however. Han Tiansheng was different.

“Are you friends with a girl named Darsha?”

Tuk.

I touched on the reason for the deterioration of the relationship between me and Han Cheon-seong and observed their reaction.

Stop.

“…uh.”

When I saw Han Tiansheng’s eyes turn cold as he looked at me while he was eating, I was strangely filled with joy.

But I couldn’t fully express that joy. He just expressed his joy through his eyes as he looked at Han Tiansheng.

“So you and Darsha were close friends?”

“We’re pretty close. “Why is that?”

“It’s just that I thought the reason you hated me was because of your sparring with Darsha. I was curious what kind of relationship they had. “I wondered if she was just another girlfriend.”

“…We’re not in that kind of relationship, so don’t say anything weird.”

I ate leisurely while watching Han Cheon-seong reply coldly.

As soon as I felt the pleasure of having food in my mouth, it felt quite good.

Han Tiansheng, who was glaring at me now, seemed quite depressed, but I wondered what was going on.

One of the few joys of being human, I was now feeling both.

One is the primal satisfaction that comes from the taste of various foods.

And another one… .

“Do you want to eat this?”

I asked, poking at a piece of meat that looked like lamb.

“No, that’s enough.”

I acted lightly as I saw Han Tiansheng immediately rejecting my words as if he was in a bad mood.

“It’s pretty delicious. “Don’t refuse, just give it a try.”

Tuk.

Even as I forced the lamb into the bowl, I observed its expression.

In some ways, my actions, which seemed like a favor, did not make Han Cheonsung happy at all.

That was clearly visible.

“……”

I just found Han Tiansheng’s reaction, frowning as he watched the conversation a little while ago, funny.

And I thought I knew why there was bullying among humans.

That was the reaction.

That facial expression that reacts immediately to my actions.

Han Cheon-seong’s expression, distorted by such strange emotions, gave me strange joy.

“…thank you.”

I was able to answer sincerely when the voice answered reluctantly.

“Again, I don’t hate you.”

That way I can bother you more.
