Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 581
581. End of the game – A feeling you didn’t even know about
***
Luna Vermont and Grande Pelua.
As the first match of the round of 16 reached the final minute, contrary to everyone’s expectations, it ended quite poorly.
However, despite this, it was a clash of powers that was clearly on a different level from the preliminaries, and the true value of each other’s power penetrated the interior of the Colosseum.
It is no exaggeration to say that the spectators who filled the seats watching the game, the host at the Colosseum, and even the cadets from other participating academies held their breath and watched the match played by the two with focused attention.
Everyone congratulated the winner with great enthusiasm, and responded by sending just as much support to the loser.
And it wasn’t much different for the cadets from the same Central Academy.
Again.
As he walked towards Luna, who was returning, Cheonseong stared at her blankly for a moment.
The appearance was a mess compared to before the game.
But it didn’t look ugly or bad at all. Rather, he felt Luna’s growth to the point where it seemed a little dazzling.
‘this.’
The main heroine of the story.
“…….”
Is it because the game that unfolded was so great that it exceeded my expectations?
Even while looking at Luna right now, it was difficult to talk to her easily.
Because the results of sparring are cruel.
“In the end, I lost.”
And when Luna approached us and opened her mouth with a hollow smile, I immediately shook my head.
“You really worked hard. Luna.”
“I think Luna did a good job. So, you don’t have to feel so sorry.”
From noble mtl dot come
Me, Millia, and the other cadets all said a word to Luna one by one.
Clearly, looking at the result of the sparring itself, Luna was defeated.
However, the result of the defeat did not really affect us that much.
‘That’s right… because it was so amazing.’
Luna’s overwhelming performance.
Grande Pelua’s look of great surprise at Luna remained clearly imprinted in my eyes.
Her talent was displayed brilliantly in front of everyone. Even considering the gap that existed between her and Grande Pelua, the content of her match itself made no sense, regardless of the result.
In fact, there was even a moment when it wouldn’t have been surprising if Luna won.
“…Well, since everyone says that, it’s even more embarrassing for no reason. Anyway, I think I did the best I could. “I don’t have any regrets about losing.”
Luna, who spoke lightly as if shaking something off, looked quite refreshed.
He showed off everything he had.
And even if the result was defeat, Luna did not look discouraged or discouraged at all.
Rather, the way she calmly accepted reality seemed to make me view Luna more favorably than before.
“I guess legendary traits are truly legendary traits. “I think I fell a little short.”
When I saw that he was acknowledging the other person, I had no choice but to stop talking.
“I think you deserve it.”
In fact, the game was so intense that it could be described as a fierce battle.
So it was by no means Luna’s pointless defeat.
Even when she said I wasn’t good enough, I didn’t feel that way at all.
“Yes, as you said, Han Tiansheng, maybe I could have reached it.”
Luna smiled and stared at me, and even as we made eye contact, I seemed to be caught up in her eyes.
“…”
Between the disheveled pink hair, the brightly shining eyes.
Even before the game, his eyes were noticeably different.
A look in her eyes as if she had gained something from the game, or as if she realized that she herself had grown.
“But not now, I don’t think Grande Pelua saved her strength against me. “If I tried to push myself further, it felt like it was just eating away at my body.”
“Good idea. Luna.”
As Millia gently held Luna’s hands, I also thought that was right.
Grand Colosseum.
A place where each cadet competes with his or her talents and strength and proves his or her worth in front of everyone.
But working hard for that purpose had a different meaning.
To put it bluntly, Luna has already proven enough… and more than anything, I felt it.
‘Just because I overexerted myself… I wasn’t an opponent I could beat.’
That’s why Luna woke up in a mess, but I thought she had ultimately accepted her defeat.
By showing her limits, she pushed Grande Pelua like that.
However, trying to fight back with even more strength than that would have been unreasonable.
Above all, the Grand Colosseum is not a place where people spar to kill each other.
Jerk.
Then, when I heard footsteps belatedly, most people’s eyes, including mine, turned to the passage.
There was a man in better condition than Luna, but still quite disheveled and with a strong appearance.
‘Grande Pelua?’
He was in front of us.
“what?”
When Luna looked at him first and asked him back, Grande Pelua burst into laughter.
“I just came here because I wanted to say something. “I hope you don’t treat me so hostilely now that the game is over.”
I was a little surprised by the refreshing voice.
‘It’s a bit different from the way I expected it to be spoken.’
In the work, the explanation of Grande Pelua could be expressed in one word. He has high self-esteem, surpassing the arrogant Luna of the past, and shows an arrogant and arrogant attitude towards everyone.
That’s why I never bow my head.
But now, Grande Pelua’s tone seemed to have calmed down a bit.
“What I want to say?”
“uh. Luna Vermont. Because I have something I want to say to you. I came to you personally because I think you are one of the few people I approve of. Besides, I think she’s a pretty nice girl. “I’ll be honest with you, I like you quite a bit.”
Tuk.
As the words sounded like a bombshell, I, who was just watching, was momentarily dumbfounded.
“…under?”
I was also dumbfounded when I saw Luna laughing as if it was ridiculous.
These words were spoken by Grande Pelua.
Just put it bluntly… it was a confession.
After defeating Luna in sparring, he came to me and confessed to me out of the blue.
“and.”
“It’s very bold.”
When Leonhardt and Karite spoke in surprise, I just burst out laughing.
“I’ll hear the answer later, then I’ll leave.”
Seeing Grande Pelua disappear after saying nothing, Luna looked at her speechless for a moment and then sighed heavily.
“Ha… I’m really going to see all kinds of crazy people.”
Luna’s truly honest words made me just smile and look at her.
‘If you think about it.’
In this reality, not the story, all relationships have changed.
The original main heroine.
Luna, who would be by Leonhard’s side, was not tied down to anyone at all.
So, even if she ends up with someone now, it’s extremely realistic that we don’t know what will happen… … .
“…Hey, Han Tiansheng. “What do you like about smiling so heartily?”
“No, it’s just because the situation is funny. I’m just as amazed as you are right now.”
I responded calmly to Luna suddenly glaring at me.
In fact, who Luna liked in this world depended on her heart.
In fact, her talents and abilities were very outstanding, and Luna was never left behind in terms of her outward appearance.
Rather, I remember that the demand for Luna was quite high in reality due to her characteristic pink twin-tail hair.
“So, like Han Cheon-seong said, Luna, if you don’t mind… I don’t think it would be a bad idea to create a new relationship.”
When Milia spoke jokingly, Luna shook her head violently as if she was truly angry.
As her already disheveled pink hair danced wildly in the air, I burst out laughing again.
“Oh, really, Millia, don’t say anything weird either. “I’m trying to get annoyed for no reason.”
“I’m just saying that, Luna. “Are you very angry?”
“Tch, that’s enough.”
As Millia clung to Luna as if comforting her, I also became curious as I saw Luna reluctantly accepting it.
‘indeed.’
Who will Luna end up with in this world?
Regardless of the outcome of the sparring match, I suddenly became curious about that.
***
As time passed, it was time for the game to proceed.
Luna, who had already played her first game, was resting in one corner of the waiting room with a slightly drowsy expression.
“Then I’ll leave lightly.”
“Oh, I’ll cheer you on. Yumia.”
“Take it lightly, Leonhard. “I will finish it right away.”
While I was vaguely watching Yumia, full of confidence, go out to play, I was a little dazed.
A feeling of helplessness where all the mana in the body has disappeared.
Even though I knew my mana would recover quickly, there seemed to be some aftereffects from the game.
‘It’s definitely tiring.’
As I sat in the waiting room, trying to catch my breath, I also felt very strange.
The sparring that took place today.
I never thought I would fail in the round of 16, but I had no regrets.
I really don’t have any regrets, and I realized again what I am lacking.
Today I realized again that even if I face it with all my might, I still have a lot of room for growth.
So the result of the sparring itself actually had no effect on my current mood.
“……”
Even as I was biting my lip, the strange feeling I had was due to a completely different problem.
Grande Pelua came to visit me after the game.
The unlucky guy suddenly confessed in a grumpy voice.
A moment of discomfort and absurdity.
‘That moment.’
Why did I do that?
No matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it. At that time, I saw Han Tiansheng without even realizing it.
The time when that unlucky guy confessed to me. Strangely enough, I looked at Han Tiansheng’s reaction.
“…Luna, are you really okay?”
“Oh, yes. It’s really okay. “Milia.”
My thoughts were broken by the sudden words.
“Still, you seem very tired, but I think it’s okay to go back a little early and rest.”
Even as I looked at Milia, who was worried about me and carefully caressing my hand… … .
“…Milia, I’m fine.”
My feelings were becoming indescribably strange.
