Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 599



599. Crossroads of Destiny – The Beginning Apostle

***

‘Since when did it start?’

Azazel thought this as he glanced sideways at Han Cheon-seong next to him.

I just have a vague feeling.

I don’t know if this is what humans call intuition, but I didn’t think so because there was some basis. But I felt like I knew for sure.

‘Han Tiansheng is doubting me now.’

The problem was that it was not a feeling worth having simply because it was hostile or not viewed favorably.

Although he tried not to show his emotions outwardly, it was clear that Han Tiansheng’s attitude toward me had subtly changed. It was clearly different from previous encounters.

Even after thinking about it carefully, I didn’t think I had revealed a weakness. Even if a loophole was revealed, I didn’t think it was something that would make me suspicious.

I let out a short breath and opened my mouth as if it were no big deal.

“Han Tiansheng, is there anything you want to talk about about the quarterfinals that will be held in two days?”

From noble mtl dot come

“You want to talk?”

“That’s just what it says. You can ask me about my characteristics, or if you want to share your opinion about other cadets, feel free to say so. “I will suit you properly.”

Although I readily opened my mouth, there was no change in my attitude itself.

I don’t know where the suspicion came from or what the problem is, but if I change my attitude, it will seem more foreign.

“…well. “With the quarterfinals coming out tomorrow, it’s hard to tell who I’m talking about or not.”

“okay? “I’m really looking forward to it, and if possible, I want to hang out with you.”

“In the quarterfinals.”

“You know. “Whether it’s the quarterfinals or not, we’re going to be there anyway.”

We continue talking as if the future is set.

I know that the power possessed by other humans is quite unusual at this level. But I was only looking at Han Tiansheng.

Eusilia is on guard, and is almost the only one to have escaped the prophecy.

Han Cheonseong’s power, which continues the power of the being called Shinchang in the past, will not end with what he has shown now.

“… … .”

“… … .”

As our transparent gazes crossed, surprisingly, Han Cheon-seong did not avoid my eyes.

He just made eye contact for a long time and stopped talking, as if he was looking directly at me.

Then, for a moment, the corners of his mouth moved gently. A smile, it was definitely something that could be called a smile.

“I see, Azazel, you were looking at me the whole time.”

I answered without hesitation as he spoke as if he had realized something.

“I’m not saying you disrespect other cadets. I think all of the other cadets have their own potential and great power. And I think there are definitely cadets among them who haven’t shown their true value. So, saying who is the best or who is the strongest is actually meaningless.”

“… … “Then why were you looking at me?”

“Still, I have vague thoughts. Someone who can properly compete with me. “That’s Han Tiansheng, you’re probably the best fit.”

I just expressed how I felt.

If I tried to hide something or act differently, my appearance would actually look more unnatural, and if Han Tiansheng was suspicious of me, it was definitely because I was keeping an eye on Han Tiansheng, knowingly or unknowingly.

‘Then I have no choice but to face it head on.’

Now, there was no point in pretending that I wasn’t interested in Han Tiansheng.

“I didn’t know you would rate me so highly.”

“I’m not particularly overestimating you.”

“…Didn’t what you said just a moment ago mean that I was the most cautious?”

“I’m just seeing you as you are right now, that’s not an overestimation. In fact, in the quarterfinals, you are probably the only one who can compete with me.”

Tuk.

Even as I was spitting it out, there was not the slightest delusion in my mind.

Instead, he looked straight into Han Tiansheng’s eyes and a faint smile escaped him.

expectation.

And I even felt a little excitement.

Han Cheon-seong, whom we will meet later in the stadium. As each day passes, Han Tiansheng’s presence is growing more and more.

I felt it just by looking at it. Han Tiansheng is constantly growing and trying to move forward.

Even though I was ahead of others, I had no hesitation. I might have wanted to stop for a moment and reflect on myself or rest, but there was no such thing.

That’s probably something that originated from the personality of a person named Shin Chang a long time ago. I knew that it came from the absolute will of the person who stood up to the apostle in the beginning.

“Me as I am… … .”

“Then Han Tiansheng, didn’t you think so?”

I asked back.

The reason Han Cheon-seong is conscious of me is probably not just because of Darsha’s work.

If you doubt me and suspect something, there must be other reasons for facing me. Recently, just as I was looking at Han Tiansheng, I felt that Han Tiansheng was also looking at me knowingly or unknowingly.

“…that’s right. “It’s just as you said.”

Seeing him calmly agree, I burst out laughing again.

Deep sinking eyes. The two eyes shining through the black hair were staring at me more intensely than ever.

“I don’t know if we’ll face each other in the final or not, but it’ll be pretty fun when that moment comes.”

“I think I would too if I were to face you in the finals.”

“huh. So I’m pretty excited.”

In fact, other than Han Cheon-seong, there are people who stand out to me.

There are many people with extraordinary talent that are unexpected. Because I saw it with my own eyes.

Leonhard, who should have lost his characteristics, regained his strength, and the four others, Grande Pelua, Neria Eudemia, and Celestia Yurisian, needed special attention.

The level of each legendary attribute also shows abnormal growth.

“So you can ask me now. “Now that the matchup has not been decided, if there was a chance to find out about my power, now would be the right time.”

Speaking lightly, I didn’t really have any intention of hiding anything.

I really had no resistance to being taught the various concepts and principles related to the legendary characteristics I was given after being transformed into a human.

‘Because my power is not the kind of power that can be countered just because you know about it.’

It was that absolute power.

“… … No, that’s enough.”

But contrary to my expectations, Han Tiansheng did not ask about my strength.

If you have doubts about who you are or your roots, you should ask in more detail and try to find out, but instead, it reflects rejection.

“why?”

“No matter why you ask me, I really don’t want to know anything about you in advance.”

“What, am I hated by you that much? “If you knew anything about my power, it would definitely be of benefit to you if we ever had to compete, right?”

Even as I spoke, a laugh escaped me.

I didn’t know that Han Tiansheng really hated me even more than I thought. I definitely felt hostility when he looked at me, but I never thought it would be this bad.

“This is separate from not liking you.”

“Then tell me, I’m very curious why you don’t want to know about my power.”

This time I asked out of pure curiosity.

You will face it later anyway. But why do I reflect rejection when there would be no harm in knowing about my strength?

“Because I am confident.”

Tuk.

I blinked blankly at the words that followed immediately afterwards.

That’s how absurd Han Tiansheng’s words were.

“Just as you don’t want to know more about my abilities or the powers I haven’t shown yet, I feel the same way as you right now. That’s why I don’t want to know about your powers.”

“you… … “You feel the same way as me?”

Even though I was saying it, I couldn’t understand what he was saying right now.

There is no way our hearts are the same. And there is no way to ‘think’ the same way as me.

“Your feelings are clearly revealed on your face, so I can’t help but know even if I don’t like it.”

“…What did I have in mind?”

“I know you really mean it when you say you don’t overestimate me. “You are also full of thoughts of defeating me.”

I inadvertently touched my face as I saw Han Tiansheng laughing and talking.

I touched my cheeks and lips and wondered if it really looked like that.

I didn’t try to hide my emotions, but it felt a little strange.

“therefore. I won’t even try to tell you about your powers in advance. “As much confidence as you show to me, I am also confident.”

“… … “That’s a bit surprising.”

Even though I said it, I really meant it.

No matter how great Han Tiansheng’s hidden power was, I had no intention of losing the game.

Even more so than intentionally losing.

“okay? I don’t think it’s that surprising. “Azazel, while I’m at it, I’ll tell you in advance that I will exact revenge on you for what you did to Darsha.”

When I received a look in his eyes with strong meaning, I started laughing without even realizing it.

“…I will retaliate in the same way.”

“It doesn’t matter if I put my personal feelings into the game, I’ve already decided that. Instead, I was planning to tell you in advance before I got together with you.”

Strangely enough, I couldn’t stop laughing as I watched him literally reflect on himself and rant at me.

“good idea.”

“So, don’t you look at me or anything like that. “Because I truly intend to crush you.”

As I repeatedly revealed my true feelings, my heart even became more excited.

Han Tiansheng was staring at me intensely, and as I met his eyes, my fingertips seemed to be strangely shrinking.

It was an obvious excitement.

“It looks pretty good.”

“Even at this moment… … “Are you trying to play a prank on me?”

“No, it’s not a joke. I mean this sincerely. Your eyes now. It looks pretty good. “I like it.”

Even as I burst out laughing, I instantly shook off the completely heavy atmosphere.

And at this moment, I completely gave up even the thought of telling her about my power.

“… … .”

Even as I looked at Han Tiansheng with his eyes furrowed, as if he disapproved of my words, I felt a strangely great joy.

Joy, pleasure. It didn’t matter what I called what I was feeling right now.

‘I think I understand.’

Why did you say you felt the same way as me? At this moment, I understood Han Tiansheng better.

“I can’t wait to join you on the field. How much your face will distort in the face of my power, and how you will look at me with a completely different expression than you do now. “I’m really excited.”

As I revealed my feelings that I had never dared to reveal, a more sincere smile than ever came out.

It was my first time.

I felt this much happiness while existing as a human being.

“… … okay.”

When he answered with a still serious voice, I took a light step forward.

Jerk.

At the same time, I felt like I knew why I was feeling this way.

Han Tiansheng’s purpose is correct. However, there is an unusual amount of interest. And it made the other person more wary than necessary.

‘It was too much.’

I thought my actions were excessive.

If we act secretly, we can get closer to our goal of sealing Han Tiansheng.

But there was a feeling that it was inevitable. Because I feel like I understand why humans live reality emotionally rather than rationally.

‘It’s probably a memory of the power I received from Eusilia.’

As I became human and slept every day, I would think of scenes I could not remember.

Another being coming against me, holding a spear.

It was definitely something I didn’t remember. Still, I knew who he was.

‘Sinchang Eustea.’

The original apostle did not face and oppose Shinchang in the form of an apostle from the beginning.

…quite surprisingly, there was an origin.

The reason why the apostle from the beginning had to become an apostle who never existed before.

In that sense, it was probably only natural that I, who was influenced by Eusilia, showed such great interest in Han Cheon-seong.

“… … .”

I am influenced by the power of other beings.

Even though I was clearly aware of that, I didn’t feel too bad about it.

‘rather.’

It felt quite enjoyable.

Jerk.

Because the sound of Han Cheon-seong’s steps matching my steps seemed to give me the answer.
