Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 577



577. [The Way Forward: Crossroads of Destiny]

***

-Drakaris.

It was the name of the spear received as a gift from Kali, and it could be said to be a special weapon refined in the unique method of the Count Ishtar family.

As I slowly ran my hand across the smooth red shoes, my mind was somewhere else.

As of today, week 1 of the Colosseum is completely over.

Starting tomorrow, week 2, a match that can be seen as the start of the full-fledged Colosseum continues.

In order to get my mind together, there were times when I spent time in the simple training center set up in the Colosseum.

And every time, I looked at the window.

A spear I held.

When I was first given a trait, whether I liked it or not, I bought an iron bar from a blacksmith shop and devoted myself to training it every day.

It was clumsy, awkward, and unnatural.

Even if I swung a spear, compared to the numerous principles I have now, back then I was just repeating the simple motion of throwing a spear in the air.

As a moment from the past suddenly came to mind, a strange laugh escaped me.

“A lot of time has passed.”

In total, time has passed so much that I think it may have been a year since I fell into this world.

And quite a lot has changed in the meantime.

This was the case for me right now, and while I didn’t even have any connections, I have now formed quite a few relationships with many people. And more than anything, the people around me looked at me completely different.

commons.

Common grade.

Moreover, the short-range characteristics… .

Even his heterogeneous appearance.

When you first look at me, no matter what you see, I see only shortcomings compared to other people.

Even though I tried to be confident in myself, it wasn’t so good that I felt at a loss as to what on earth I should have confidence in.

however.

It was different now.

Swish!

As I swung Drakaris once, the blade of the spear was responding perfectly to my heart.

Sometimes, it was like the strongest shield that protected me, and when I held it, my mind would become transparent.

Just as countless distracting thoughts disappear as they dwell in the blade of a spear. Even my worries and worries disappeared when I held the window.

It’s not because I’m currently holding a very good spear called Drakkaris, but I’ve been feeling that way little by little for some time.

From the moment I pick up the spear, my mindset changes.

“……”

Even as I took a light breath, a strange laugh escaped me.

There is no one else, just the one holding the spear.

There’s nothing fun about it. Just holding the spear like this makes my mind feel extremely comfortable.

also.

Maybe I just liked windows.

That’s where my mind was heading right now, and it was only when I was holding the spear that I realized that I was fully myself.

From noble mtl dot come

“Status window.”

He stared at Drakaris and calmly opened his mouth.

ㅡ!

A translucent status window appeared soon after.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

I intentionally didn’t check the status window often.

Even though it is the clearest and most objective indicator of personal growth, it is not often looked at. And in the status window that I checked for the first time in a while, several abilities that had grown considerably stood out.

The influence of the continent has increased significantly, and in addition, the proficiency in skills and various concepts has not remained stagnant. It was clear that it was growing steadily in an upward direction, whether small or large.

After checking the status window once, I immediately concentrated on the direction I was going to take.

“At the crossroads of fate… .”

*

*[Crossroads of Fate]

You have achieved growth that no one expected. And following such activities, the alertness of the nine apostles also increased to the highest level.

-The ‘great path’ for one of the nine apostles is presented.

Open Information 1: There are nine apostles who have left the body of the apostles and become fully human.

Unlocked information 2: There is no direct danger to you for the time being.

Unlocked information 3: To be unlocked, you must obtain a very large clue about one of the nine apostles.

???? : We don’t know anything yet.

-Special information due to extremely high growth will be released!

[You will encounter a human Apostle at a festival held in the future]

—-

*

Even though I had already checked the information, I read it one by one again.

And what I felt as I checked it now was some kind of danger.

“The festival… Isn’t it the Colosseum?”

Suddenly, I was feeling that way. Clearly, there is no danger posed for the time being. Since it was the Grand Colosseum period, I knew I had to focus on that.

However, special information was now ringing alarm bells in my mind.

“It’s too broad.”

The path ahead this time implied danger for the apostle. And in order to be careful of the apostle, one had to be careful of ‘humans’.

“An apostle who became fully human.”

If you think like that, the number of beings that come to mind is countless.

And to focus on the main goal of the Grand Colosseum, one could think that among the cadets currently participating in the Colosseum there were ‘apostles’.

That was quite a possibility. And the biggest clue you can think of.

“It’s definitely something that didn’t appear in the story.”

I originally knew the future of this world.

Even though this world, which can be said to be the original world in a novel, has already completely changed its fate to the point where it is twisted because of me, I clearly remember who the characters are.

For me, when it comes to beings that I don’t remember right now and beings that don’t appear in the story, I was able to narrow down the scope quite a bit.

-A cadet participating in the Grand Colosseum.

-A cadet who did not originally participate in the story.

In short, an impossible existence.

“Azazel, Celestia.”

If we narrow the scope to the extreme, we could see the two beings as apostles turned into humans.

And in that sense… the deeper I dug into it, the more strange a thought came to me.

‘Can Apostles be given traits?’

Is it possible to be given characteristics by becoming fully human, or is he faking his powers by pretending to be characteristics?

Whatever it was, it was very dangerous.

“…And maybe it’s an insignificant cadet that I don’t remember.”

A cadet who doesn’t stand out right now.

Although their attribute levels were low or of little importance, there were some cadets who advanced to the round of 16.

If the apostle had become human according to the information provided in the passage, it would not have been strange if he had hidden his presence.

Sreuk.

Even as I gently caressed the blade of the spear, my mind remained sharp.

“…A crossroads of fate, why is it a crossroads of fate?”

As I said this, I was concerned not only with the content of the path I was taking, but also with the name.

All of the propositions presented along the way so far had great meaning.

Each of them had a meaningful proposition, to the extent that it could be seen as expressing the meaning implicitly in the largest sense.

However, it was not written that the path forward this time was a threat from the apostle, a desperate situation, or something that could happen due to the apostle.

If I were to be in danger due to an apostle who hid his appearance, it was natural that such a statement should be made.

I had overcome several crises so far, and as I focused and thought about the path forward, I had no intention of wasting it anymore.

“It definitely makes sense.”

The purpose of this path forward is not simply to reveal the identity of the apostle and subdue that apostle.

As many as nine apostles.

In fact, if it is related to those who can be seen as the greatest axis of evil in this world… .

It will not be something that can be resolved or paid for simply through force.

“……”

As I stared at Drakaris’ red spear blade, my thoughts continued endlessly.

Why did the beings called the Nine Apostles become human?

If you become a human being, there will definitely be a purpose.

And if you’re in the academy while hiding your identity, that’s a very serious matter.

‘If there were opportunities, I’m sure there were many.’

If the apostle’s goal was to kill or eliminate a cadet who could cause my death or become a force for the Empire, there were already countless opportunities to do so.

For example, if we unleashed our power on the first day where each cadet was gathered, the apostles called the Nine Apostles would definitely have been able to kill us.

But the apostle did not do that.

Then the goal is not to kill me.

Even when the Colosseum is in progress, they just exist like people.

“…why.”

Why.

A moment came to mind.

An apostle who possessed unbelievably strong power in the former imperial capital.

When I encountered the apostle in human form with silver hair, I felt a transcendent sense.

There was no way I could resist the sight of the apostle moving as if he was looking completely downward at Sir Isabel, who was protecting me, but I was looking ahead as if I had seen the future.

And then.

“…tried to seal me.”

I muttered absentmindedly, feeling like I had definitely found an unknown part.

Not long ago, Redric Petelea, a key player on the Southern Front, died. And of his death, he received news knowingly or unknowingly that several powerful apostles had died together.

If there were enough apostles to kill him, the main apostle, there must have been nine of them.

If so, it would be reasonable to say that the number of nine apostles has now decreased.

One of the nine reduced number of apostles is at this academy.

“me… .”

To seal it again.

Yes, the purpose of the nine apostles was never to ‘kill’ me.

If he wanted to kill me, he would have had every chance to kill me. But why did nine apostles become humans and infiltrate the empire?

And that was the only reason why he was holding his breath and not revealing himself even now.

“There was no need to think differently… it was just me.”

There could be no other reason than that.

To completely seal me after being released from the seal.
