Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 595



595. End of sparring – secret love affair

***

Sreuk.

Even as I gently put Karite down from my arms, I felt a sense of déjà vu.

Maybe that was natural.

Yesterday I brought Glesia, and today I brought Karite who was unconscious. Even though the process was different, the result was the same.

“Please be kind to me.”

“yes. “Don’t worry too much.”

I just stared blankly as the healer’s soft voice responded to me.

ㅡ!

My mind went blank as I watched the gorgeous green light burst out and surround Karite’s body.

‘I am.’

Maybe I should have stepped forward.

Without realizing it, I kept thinking that way.

I just watched as the destructive dark red sphere that Celestia manifested crashed down on Karite.

That’s right… because I believed it.

As a participant, I was well aware of the Grand Colosseum’s guidelines. Cadets participating in this Colosseum can use whatever power they have. It is a place where one can fully demonstrate one’s potential and prove ‘oneself’ in front of the royal family, high-ranking nobles, and tens of thousands of spectators.

That was the purpose of this Grand Colosseum.

So, even if you show your power with the determination to kill your opponent, in an emergency situation, a golden knight will come out and settle the situation, just like before, and end the game.

It was something I didn’t have to worry about. I thought so and believed it too.

however.

I kept having strange thoughts.

Karite worked hard and exceeded everyone’s expectations.

I knew when she pushed Celestia to her limits, unleashing her power to the limit.

That you’re overdoing it.

therefore.

It was something I vaguely knew.

Even when Karite creates a huge sphere of water to block his face at the last moment, it’s not enough.

If Celestia truly displays her power, no matter how hard Karite fights, she won’t be able to stop it.

“… … .”

Even as I thought about it, a deep sigh escaped me.

So there was fear.

Since the Grand Colosseum is a festival within the empire, I was unintentionally filled with fear, even though I clearly believed that there would be no such situation.

Because the Golden Knight failed to respond in time.

‘What if something happened to Karite?’

Could I have accepted that?

I shook my head without realizing it.

I took a small breath and cleared my thoughts. All of that was just an assumption. It just seemed funny that I was so consumed with fear, worrying about something that didn’t happen.

If I had encountered Celestia’s power instead of the Golden Knight, I would have been disqualified.

Because a cadet interfered in a game that wasn’t even his own.

Rather than accepting the body once the outcome of the game has been determined, direct interference with the game resulted in disqualification on the spot.

That wouldn’t be good for me or Karite.

“Do you think you have a lot on your mind?”

“Ah, yes… a little. That’s right.”

Then, when I heard the healer’s voice, I suddenly stopped and made eye contact.

The gentle-looking healer looked at me with a slight smile, and I was a little surprised.

“The safety at the Colosseum is better than anywhere else, so don’t worry too much. Cadet Karite will come to consciousness soon. “There were no major injuries on his body, he was simply exhausted.”

“Yes, thank you.”

“Are you in a relationship with Cadet Karite?”

He glanced at me and asked, and I smiled awkwardly but nodded.

“yes. that’s right.”

“Oh my, you are so greedy. “I think I heard you say yesterday that you are in love with Cadet Glesia.”

Seeing the healer smiling playfully, I just tried to take it calmly.

Even though I felt embarrassed and embarrassed, I thought I had to accept this in the end.

‘There will be many cases like this in the future.’

I thought that if I took responsibility and established relationships with many people, I should not avoid it.

“Well, because I have the ability to do that. This is how everyone forms relationships. Well, now all the treatment I can do is over. “There is a clear vitality in my body, so I will probably wake up within an hour at the most.”

“thank you.”

When I naturally bowed my head and expressed my gratitude, the healer waved his hand and gently walked away.

The car left Kariteman, who had come out and lost consciousness, in a makeshift medical room.

I cautiously stretched out my hand.

Sreuk.

And then he carefully held Karite’s hand.

“…You did really well. Karite.”

I said that even though I knew my words couldn’t be heard.

Strangely enough, I felt a little anxious. Even as she looked at Karite’s face, which had a comfortable face as if she was sound asleep, she kept looking over and over again.

The various things Karite showed me before the game… … .

-Then… Even if I lose, can you accept me in the end? Just like you did to Glesia yesterday.

And her voice lingered in my head.

Even though they were shy, they tried to show themselves to me.

Karite really faced reality and played the game without feeling the slightest bit discouraged or intimidated. And he performed well in a close match that exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Even if I ended up losing in the end… I knew by looking at Celestia’s attitude at that time.

‘Sincerity.’

Celestia was also overcome with anguish as she showed Karite a power that was close to her true feelings.

Karite was very good to that extent.

He nodded while slowly stroking Karite’s hand, which he held carefully.

‘I just have to face it.’

Over the past few days I have been watching the game.

Representative cadets from each academy, who can be considered strong, competed against people they had ties to and won repeatedly, and had already advanced to the upper round, the quarterfinals.

Even if Luna, Glesia, and Karite were defeated, I thought that process alone was very meaningful.

It is by no means a fleeting defeat.

So, all I had to do was do it.

The answer was simple and clear.

“I will do better.”

You can encounter it.

Because I have a chance. There was definitely an opportunity for me to deal with them, even on their behalf.

As I said that, I was once again making up my mind.

Sigh.

When I felt strength in my hand, I stopped for a moment.

“Karite, are you awake?”

“… … huh. just now.”

When Karite opened her eyes blankly and answered, my heart relaxed a little more.

“right. “I lost the game.”

“But fortunately, Karite, there were no injuries on your body. “The game ended well.”

Speaking carefully, I said something else. I didn’t want Karite to be obsessed with the outcome of the game.

“okay? That’s a good thing. Me, yes. Still, I felt it in the end.”

“huh? “Which one?”

“You accepted me, right? “I vaguely felt someone hugging me.”

“…That was it. “You promised me before the game.”

Even as I said it, I felt somewhat embarrassed.

‘If you think about it… .’

I thought I did a really good job too.

In front of tens of thousands of spectators at the Colosseum, I proudly held the woman in my arms.

Even if it was my lover, I was showing such affection in front of everyone watching.

“… … .”

“… … ”

I met Karite’s gaze, staring at me, in silence for a moment.

Karite’s disheveled sky-blue hair and transparent, shining eyes held me like stars.

That was when I felt that even this appearance was lovely.

“Something really feels good.”

As Karite spoke with a gentle smile, laughter escaped me without my knowledge.

“What feels good?”

“I’m just so happy that you followed through on your promise. So that means a lot of people saw it. “You holding me in your arms.”

I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw Karite speaking in a strangely excited voice.

It made me feel good to hear that it was nice to be held by me, but I also thought that it was necessary.

“If you just want a hug, you can always give me a hug if you tell me directly.”

She wasn’t the only one who liked skinship. Since I liked it as much as I liked it, I was really able to do as much as I wanted.

“That’s good, but I still wanted to experience it at least once. How envious I was when I saw you accepting Glesia yesterday. And now I feel so good. Even though I lost the game, I didn’t think I would have any regrets if I collapsed in my lover’s arms. “Now that it’s all happened, I feel so good.”

Looking at Karite who was smiling, I gently squeezed the hands that were holding each other.

Sreuk.

Since he expressed his joy so directly, I also found Karite to be good.

‘When I think about it, it’s always been that way.’

Unlike in the past when I was calm due to Sado, I couldn’t dislike Karite, who actively expressed her feelings to me in a bright way.

Because that’s how attractive it is.

“Han Tiansheng, now… are we the only two here?”

“uh. Because the healer was away for a while. however?”

Even as I spoke, I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.

Something… .

Karite’s gaze upon me felt very passionate.

Sreuk.

Immediately after, Karite exerted force as if pulling my hand, and without realizing it, I ended up pounced on Karite, who was lying down as if she was being dragged.

“…!”

When I belatedly grabbed the bed and straightened up, my field of vision was already filled with Karite.

“Kiss me now.”

“Karite… ? “The healer will be here soon.”

I didn’t even know how long I had been away. But, an act of affection in a space like this, that’s for sure.

“If you’re going to say that, I’ll just do it.”

Tuk.

Karite naturally wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me.

Sigh.

As the soft meat meat gently clashed with each other, I just blankly accepted it.

According to reason… .

Even though I knew I shouldn’t be doing this here, I couldn’t turn down the affection Karite showed me.
