Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 586
586. Glesia vs Neria Eudemia – Possibility (4)
***
As Glesia and Neria began to compete with each other in earnest, the audience was immediately filled with great confusion.
-What on earth is going on now?
-I thought it would just end with Glesia’s victory.
-Even though I’m looking… I really can’t see anything.
A series of aspects.
And the renewed clash of powers that followed was not easy for spectators to understand.
Just when it seemed like there was a lull in the game that would not start right away, a storm-like wind suddenly enveloped Glesia.
And after that, when the storm died down, Glesia was suddenly pointing her sword in front of Neria’s neck.
The first movement was not even seen by most of the audience.
However, with the results unfolding, I thought the game was over. However, when they widened the distance and started moving towards each other again, a full-fledged competition began.
ㅡ!
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
They appear all over the stadium and then suddenly disappear, crossing each other countless times.
Each time, the sharp sound of metal clashing with each other clearly reached the ears of many spectators, but they could not actually see the movement.
As expected, Glesia’s appearance appeared brightly as if an afterimage was engraved in the stadium, and Neria’s ice mirror ran into her. This was because the clone made of ice moved at a comparable speed and left an afterimage.
In short, a strange phenomenon was unfolding where most people could not see the reality of the game even though they were watching it in person.
It’s literally so fast.
To the average person, the game unfolds in such a hurry that they cannot understand it at all. Even the nobles who were watching the game were surprised again and caught Glesia in their eyes.
However, now that the competition is taking place at such an amazing speed, there are clearly people who are watching the game properly.
… … .
ㅡ!
ㅡㅡㅡ!
The pupils of the eyes watching the stadium keep moving quickly.
While I could see swords meeting each other for a moment, I quickly had to look elsewhere and face the feast of swords I encountered in another place.
Even though mana was expressed and my nature was highly focused on the game, it felt like it wasn’t easy to keep up with the speed shown by the two people.
‘this… … .’
Glesia’s speed.
There were many times when Glesia showed off her skills in sparring.
I have experienced it too.
However, even then, the speed of Glesia seen in the stadium was completely different.
We were approaching something quickly, or even beyond speed.
When she first aimed her sword at Neria’s neck, all I could say was pure admiration.
And after that.
As the two people started competing at that speed, I just forgot about any thoughts and became immersed in the game.
“…it’s crazy.”
“To be honest, I can’t see Glesia moving right now.”
My head nodded while I was concentrating on the words of a few people nearby.
“I guess this is Glesia’s true heart.”
Even as I said that, I felt that way.
A series of actions in which Glesia suddenly manifested a storm-like wind and caused such a huge wind to reside in her body.
It was clearly a different type of power among the powers she possessed.
‘Probably a skill.’
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain Glesia’s movement, which is not just moving through space, but is moving as if it is flying in the air.
Her sword, which was moving and throwing out as if almost erasing space, was threatening Neria precisely.
…It’s really hard to believe.
The aspect of the game was that Glesia was attacking Neria and attacking him.
“I never would have thought that Glesia was hiding this much power.”
At Leonhardt’s surprised voice, laughter inadvertently leaked out.
“Well, I didn’t know it would be this bad.”
Would I be able to properly respond to the light-like movements of Glesia, who displayed her skills with all her might?
If someone asks, to be honest, I wasn’t completely confident either.
Probably, even if it were me, I would have suffered the same momentary weakness that Neria first showed me.
When my gaze once again focused on empty space, Glesia appeared there as if by magic.
While dealing with Neria’s Ice Mirror, damage was slowly accumulating.
Crispy!
Little by little, the ice clone was falling apart due to Glesia’s onslaught of sword attacks.
‘Now I’m slowly starting to notice Glesia’s movements.’
To be honest, I was surprised by how quickly Neria reacted to Glesia’s speed.
However, that doesn’t mean we’ve completely caught up. The Binggyeong was thoroughly responding to Glesia’s speed to the extent that it did not reveal any weaknesses in the main body.
It responds like an iron wall, as if to prevent anyone from striking Neria’s body, which is the absolute main body.
“Glesia, you were a scarier child than I thought.”
“I guess it depends on your perspective. “I think Neria was rude to Glesia first.”
Even though I responded lightly to Luna’s words, I also felt something.
A conversation between two people.
It wasn’t that loud, but it sounded clear to my ears.
‘Anastasia.’
The two people were talking about Glesia, her blood relative and the main axis of the empire.
That was a change that did not appear in the story. Because she revealed that when she sparred with Leonhard, Neria was aiming for something completely different.
“……”
As I thought about it, I found myself staring blankly at Neria.
Her characteristic, Ice Mirror, still stands in her way and thoroughly blocks Glesia’s super-fast attacks.
In front of him, Neria’s body, engulfed in a halo of light as if concentrating her mind, appeared to be extremely concentrated.
Her silver bob, engulfed in a halo of light, was clearly visible from the outside, floating in the air and emitting a strange power.
however.
Even though I saw Neria showing off her power like that, I thought for a moment that I shouldn’t do it.
“no way… .”
“How can you believe it?”
When I looked blankly at the voice I heard next to me, I saw Karite looking at me intently.
“No, it’s nothing.”
“Why, if there’s anything that comes to mind, you can feel free to tell me.”
Even as I watched her answer with a faint smile, my heart was strangely distorted.
The thoughts I came up with were purely hypothetical. But it was such a scary assumption that even I ended up denying the thought that came to my mind.
I inadvertently showed my feelings to Karite’s gaze.
“I thought Neria’s power could be expressed differently.”
“It can manifest differently? Han Tiansheng, what does that mean?”
When even Leonhard showed interest in what I said, I hesitated with my lips.
Before I knew it, all the cadets at the Central Academy who were watching the game were watching me. Even though he was focused on the game, he seemed curious about my opinion.
…I thought for a moment and then just opened my mouth.
“Neria may be able to project other beings as well.”
“Speaking of other beings, wasn’t Neria the only one who could create herself as an ice mirror?”
As Luna asked me strangely, I thought so too.
In the story, Neria pushes Leonhard to the brink of defeat with the power of projecting herself closer to the ideal world.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that they pressed down with an almost overwhelming difference in power.
however.
‘Attribute level 6.’
The Neria that exists in this world has grown even more than in the story.
It was like she was talking about the evolution of the power to be different, and the worst thing I could think of was a change in being projected into an ice mirror.
“I think it’s still a possibility.”
Speaking blankly, I turned my attention back to the stadium.
Even now, surprisingly, the momentum of the game was tilted towards Glesia.
Glesia unleashes an onslaught of unbelievable speed. And Neria seemed anxious just to block the attack.
“If it’s as Han Tiansheng said.”
“If Neria truly uses the Ice Mirror, it means she is not herself.”
As Milia and Karite added their own words to mine, I kept my mouth shut.
That was just the worst assumption.
I never wanted my thoughts to become reality.
‘I hope it’s not real.’
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!
Seeing Glesia still performing brilliantly has made me hope for it with all my heart.
And that was then.
Crispy… … !
Suddenly, the ice mirror that had been receiving Glesia’s attack exploded spectacularly, spreading overwhelming coldness all at once.
It looked as if its body burst open as it was unable to withstand the force of Glesia’s sword. But to my eyes it looked completely different.
“… … different.”
I felt it right away through Neria’s appearance. Her eyes did not show the slightest frustration or the look of a failure.
Rather, he was staring at Glesia with extremely strange eyes, as if he had decided on something.
From noble mtl dot come
***
At first, it was clearly a ‘favor’.
When standing on the stadium and facing Glesia. Neria was in a better mood than she had been with anyone recently.
Meeting Glesia was as nice as I expected, and more than anything, I thought she was someone I could relate to.
But her heart was broken in a short time.
My heart, which had been very excited while we were talking, changed from one moment to another.
-Your personality is not one that my sister would like.
Those were words that seemed to deny what she wanted.
‘why.’
I couldn’t understand why he was saying that.
However, a huge heat surged in my heart, and I ended up focusing on emotions.
My feelings for Anastasia.
Glesia denied my feelings for her with just one word.
I am not suitable for you, Anastasia.
…To me, it sounded like a harsher insult than any other shameful and humiliating words.
So I couldn’t respond properly to Glesia.
No, even if I hadn’t been emotionally biased, I wouldn’t have responded so well.
Because it was a speed that exceeded expectations.
… … .
Crispy… … !
The remains of the ice cape are completely collapsed and scattered.
Ice shards containing extreme cold dominate the surroundings.
“……”
Even as I was seeing that in my eyes, I immediately saw Glesia widening the distance between her and me.
And strangely enough, laughter leaked out.
‘amazing.’
As expected, I came to think of myself as Anastasia’s blood relative.
Glesia herself was an outstanding cadet.
I know that this match is essentially my loss.
The first time her sword was held out in front of my neck, I was already defeated at that moment. I knew better than that myself.
But I thought I knew why they didn’t finish me.
“Glesia. “I accept you as you are.”
Regardless of her relationship with Anastasia, Glesia was worthy of recognition in and of herself.
“…I will admit it as myself.”
Glesia widened the distance early due to the collapsed ice cap. He nodded, taking her into his eyes.
What she wants from me. That was my ‘truth’.
The true value of my power.
I have never shown it to anyone, nor have I ever thought of using it myself.
Because it’s too dangerous.
Because I didn’t think it was my power to use against the cadets.
But that wasn’t it.
I had to use that ‘power’.
“So, I’m thinking of showing you for the first time. “The true power I possess.”
As he spoke, he slowly brought his hands together in front of him.
The being I will project will no longer be me.
Because I admitted to myself that what I wanted as an ideal world could not reach the current Glesia.
‘so that.’
I will project the existence I sincerely aim for into my image.
A brilliant light began to appear in the two hands held out in front, and soon a completely different being began to be created as an ice mirror.
