Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 621



621. Their strange drinking party

***

Time passed and evening came.

A tavern in an alley in the capital Edelphia.

Tuk.

Carly gently touched the glass filled with ice and her eyes were blank.

‘It’s a little late.’

My heart was calm as I realized that Adelia, whom I had planned to meet at the bar where we usually met, was late.

Recently, without having to worry about the academy and just focusing on the Grand Colosseum, each day was quite leisurely.

Tuk.

As I touched the ice-filled glass again, I felt a strange feeling of coldness against my fingertips.

I started thinking about the Grand Colosseum, which is gaining popularity recently.

‘We’re already in the Grand Colosseum semifinals.’

It seems like it was just yesterday that the preliminaries started, but before we knew it, the semifinals had been confirmed.

There were people who advanced, some I expected, and some I didn’t expect. But looking back now, they were all cadets with convincing power.

“… … “But I didn’t know it would be this intense.”

Even though I was muttering absentmindedly, I burst into laughter.

As someone who was watching the game, I did not feel comfortable.

Originally, Cadet Han Cheon-seong would have won.

I thought I would see that result without needing to look any further. I felt that way even before the Grand Colosseum was held. I was more certain of that than anyone else.

There is no doubt about that, as I taught him and was the one who watched the growth of cadet Han Cheon-seong the most.

However, when the Grand Colosseum was held, the potential of the participating cadets was completely different from my expectations.

There were cadets who were suddenly added to the list, and top cadets from other academies showed rapid growth to the point where one wondered if this made sense.

‘I still believe in him, though.’

There were only enough matches left that even I, the viewer, had to be nervous about.

Jalang!

I was suddenly awakened from my thoughts by the sound of the door opening.

Let’s look at the entrance of the bar, and sure enough, it’s different. When I saw Adelia in civilian clothes with emerald hair, I lightly shook her hand.

Togak togak!

“sorry. “Carly, I’m really late, right?”

When she came right up to my table and handed me an apple, I smiled and shook my head.

“no. I didn’t wait that long. “Let’s place an order first.”

“yes. “I will buy everything today.”

Taking her voice lightly, we soon ordered drinks that suited our tastes.

Good!

Afterwards, the alcohol I ordered was placed on the table, and as her glass was set, I looked at her blankly.

“You’re really busy these days, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I have a lot of work to do. “The Colosseum period overlapped with the research period, so I had no choice.”

Seeing her smiling with a hint of difficulty, I thought it was worth it too.

Education at the Academy took a break during the Colosseum. Excluding the instructors who were in charge of security and cleanup of the Colosseum, it would be no exaggeration to say that most people were resting, but those with healing characteristics seemed to be busier as they gathered together and conducted research around this time.

Squeak.

As I gently poured the drink into Adelia’s glass, she gently took off the coat she was wearing and folded it nearby.

“So what about Carly? “Is the Grand Colosseum progressing without any problems?”

“yes. Nothing much. “There are some instructors from other academies who help with security and organization, so to be honest, we have a lot of freedom.”

“okay. Oh, and I heard the news before I came. “I heard that Cadet Han Cheon-seong made it to the semifinals?”

When Adelia smiled and immediately started talking about him, I started laughing too. Since the subject of each other’s interests is the same, the topic of conversation is bound to always be the same.

“yes. “It wasn’t easy because our quarterfinal opponent was Cadet Leonhardt, but Cadet Han Cheonseong easily advanced to the semifinals.”

“It’s nice just to hear something. I really want to meet Cadet Han Cheon-seong and congratulate him in person, but I don’t have time. Still, I think I will have time starting tomorrow. “I can go and watch the semifinals.”

Although I was a little surprised by her bright tone, I nodded.

“That’s really good.”

braided!

Afterwards, we naturally met each other and took a drink, and as the cold drink slid down our throats, we felt at ease.

‘I’m used to this time now.’

The more often I drank with Adelia, the more at ease I felt. It was because they felt comfortable with each other to the point that they could now easily tell each other their worries and worries.

“Oh, and I heard that the quality of the Colosseum this year is strange. “Carly, what do you mean?”

“It’s exactly what you heard. “The standard of this year’s Colosseum cadets is abnormally high.”

“Are you sure Cadet Han Cheon-seong won’t win easily?”

When he asked me without skipping the middle part of the process, I paused for a moment. Then he smiled awkwardly and nodded.

“yes. I’m really not sure. “The other cadets who have now reached the semifinals have just as much potential.”

“How can that be…?” … ?”

Adelia blinked blankly at my words, and I understood what she was thinking.

Adelia probably felt at ease.

I thought that Cadet Han Cheon-seong would definitely win the championship, and it was no wonder that everyone who knew his true value thought so.

That’s because Cadet Han Cheon-seong has achieved incredible growth over the past few months.

“Carly, I really can’t believe that. There is a cadet who can be compared to Han Cheon-seong… … .”

“I understand that feeling. But surprisingly, it’s true.”

The reality is that we cannot be certain that Cadet Han Cheon-seong will win.

From Azazel to Neria and Celestia, it was difficult to see them all as being under Han Cheonsung’s cadets.

“Okay… … “I see.”

I laughed as I saw her tipping her glass again.

“So, Adelia also personally came to the stadium and cheered for Cadet Han Cheon-seong. “I’m sure you’ll miss Cadet Han Cheon-seong too.”

When I spoke to her jokingly, Adelia also burst into laughter.

“Iknow, right. “I really want to do that.”

So we filled each other’s cups and clinked them again.

Suddenly, my eyes went to another table.

There was someone at the bar who I didn’t see. I don’t know everyone in the bar, but it wasn’t like the people staying in the capital.

‘He seems like another academy instructor.’

It was a little unpleasant that they kept looking at our table.

“Carly, ignore the stares.”

When Adelia spoke as if she knew, a small smile came out.

“Even if I tried to do that, it would be unpleasant. “Why are you staring at me like that?”

I feel this way every time I drink like this with Adelia, but I didn’t want anyone to disturb this time.

From noble mtl dot come

I just want to have a good time sharing my feelings with like-minded people.

Jerk.

The car I thought so.

As a man stood up from his seat and approached our table, I let out a deep breath.

Ok.

As I put down the glass, I lightly dispersed the mana around me.

“I’m sorry for coming on like this while you two were talking. However, if you don’t mind… … .”

Wearing a fancy uniform. And when the man with a neater look spoke, I opened my mouth.

“It’s not okay.”

I stopped talking out loud.

“Still, don’t you want to talk for a little bit?”

When he asked with an awkward smile, as if he didn’t expect me to answer like this, I tilted my head up crookedly.

“yes. “I don’t think it will work.”

And when I spoke clearly, as if telling him to listen carefully, I saw his expression slowly harden.

“She’s not in a good mood right now. I’m sorry, but can you please leave?”

As Adelia gently joined the conversation, I frowned for a moment.

Something like this had to be cut off with a single cut to avoid becoming more entangled.

“Ah, so there was such a situation… … . yes. “Then, if I have another chance next time.”

As the man’s expression cleared up at Adelia’s words and left, I tried to say more.

Suddenly.

“Carly, just move on.”

“Adelia.”

“This is not the first time something like this has happened to us. And he’s probably like an instructor, but there’s no need to cause friction.”

“ha… … . “You’re right.”

Hearing Adelia’s words, I took a deep breath.

And then I relaxed a little.

‘Okay, let’s not be too sensitive.’

There was no need to get angry at a time like this. Even as I said that, I kept my eyes on the man walking away.

“Carly.”

“yes. “Adelia.”

“Has something happened recently?”

“What is going on?”

“No, because I think he gets very angry when other men approach him. “Even if you don’t say it so coldly, if you refuse anyway, everything will go wrong.”

I flinched unconsciously at the sound of her voice asking with a strange meaning.

“I just don’t like it when someone approaches me like this. “And I’ve been feeling a bit dissatisfied lately about not being able to properly reveal my relationship.”

“I’m dissatisfied… … .”

When she nodded as if she understood what I was saying, I felt a bit cold inside.

It seemed as if something suddenly appeared before my eyes.

The unexpected things that Cadet Han Cheon-seong showed in the stadium. That was the way he looked after his woman.

At first, I was a Glesia cadet. The moment when she revealed her presence as if taking the unconscious woman into her own arms after losing her match.

I inadvertently became aware of the reality due to the consideration that only Cadet Han Cheon-seong could show. How envious you can feel at that time of being able to clearly reveal your affectionate relationship to everyone.

After that, Cadet Han Cheon-seong showed such behavior several more times.

He accepted his women carefully and showed consideration that no one else could. And she strangely aroused great envy in me.

As I thought about it, a self-deprecating laugh escaped me.

“no. Adelia, just… … “I guess I was a little childish.”

“no. It could be so. But can you be more honest?”

“yes?”

“What did Cadet Han Tiansheng do?”

I was momentarily speechless at the sharp question. Then I just nodded.

After all, what else is there to hide between Adelia and me?

“yes I did. “I felt really envious when I saw it.”

“What on earth did he do?”

I told Adelia, who asked with curiosity, about Cadet Han Cheon-seong’s behavior over the past few days.

And what is the meaning of cadet Han Cheon-seong’s behavior that the rumor is spreading now… … .

Afterwards, Adelia, who had been listening intently to what I said, burst into laughter.

It felt like a genuine laugh, unlike her smile.

“Carly. “Do you know that those words sound a little childish right now, just like you said?”

“… … “Still, I was so jealous.”

“No, I understand how you feel, but still, Carly. “I didn’t know you would be upset about that.”

When Adelia shook her head, I found her that strange.

“Adelia. “Is this strange to me?”

“no. I don’t think you’re strange either. “I think it’s just cute jealousy.”

The voice that seemed to be gently urging me made me feel even more strange.

‘Why do I feel so calm?’

We were the same lovers.

We also have the same romantic relationship. However, some people show off their affection in front of so many people, but we can’t do that, can we?

That didn’t make me feel anything.

“Is Adelia okay? Cadet Han Cheon-seong showed off his relationship by holding the woman in his arms in front of tens of thousands of people. “Aren’t you jealous?”

“I’m jealous. “I definitely feel envious just hearing about it.”

“Then why… … .”

“Carly, we can say it differently.”

“Differently?”

When I asked blankly, Adelia gently rested her chin on both hands and smiled strangely.

“You can use that as an excuse. “Because we can ask for more when we meet Cadet Han Cheon-seong.”

“ah… … .”

As I answered in a daze, I felt like my confused mind was immediately relieved.

And I accidentally saw Adelia again.

‘Thinking is really… … .’

It was completely different from me.

When I think about it, it was like that when she first asked me out for drinks.

While I wanted to completely monopolize him and couldn’t even think of any other relationship, she calmly told me.

Let’s share him with ourselves. And now it was different again.

“Cadet Han Cheon-seong will definitely take it well if we say that.”

“… … “Adelia, sometimes I feel like you’re very gloomy.”

“Are you saying that as a compliment?”

“yes. sure. “It’s a compliment.”

At this moment, I felt like I knew why Cadet Han Cheon-seong fell in love with Adelia.

‘If Adelia had made up her mind to do something.’

Maybe she was able to achieve everything she wanted.

I felt goosebumps just looking at her strange looking eyes.
