Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 622



622. Semifinal match – Azazel and Han Cheon-seong

***

As soon as the weekend ended, the semifinal bracket was released.

Grand Colosseum.

As it can be said to be the biggest topic of discussion in the empire recently, the match-up schedule was posted all over the country, and the public reaction to the match-up schedule was greater than expected.

—-

Azazel Shineleaf vs Han Cheon-seong

Neria Eudemia vs Celestia Yurisian

—-

It became an unexpected civil war at the Central Academy. And the matchup between Neria and Celestia, the top cadets of the Western Academy and the Northern Academy, was decided.

It was a match that exceeded the expectations of everyone who was interested in the Grand Colosseum.

Contrary to their thoughts, it was a civil war, as they thought there would not be at least a match between Central Academy Azazel and Han Tian-seong.

And now.

The feelings of each party who confirmed the match were bound to be different.

… … .

A luxury inn where Central Academy cadets stay.

When news spread around the inn that the match list had been announced early in the morning, several cadets checked it out early and expressed their surprise.

And soon, the players involved in the match were also able to check the bracket.

“… … .”

After checking the bracket, Cheonseong blinked blankly and nodded without realizing it.

It wasn’t that surprising.

‘Something… … .’

I even felt like it was natural.

The feeling of facing something that was planned a little sooner.

If you think about it, it was like that. She just ended up facing Azazel earlier than she had to face anyway. In that sentiment, her gaze naturally went to her side.

The next match opponent. Toward Azazel, who was checking the bracket next to me.

“We met sooner than expected.”

I calmly accepted Azazel’s voice.

“Okay, if it’s fast, it’ll be fast.”

On the contrary, I felt fortunate. For me, it made her feel much more at ease that she didn’t have to face her in the finals, and that she got to face Azazel a little sooner.

Sreuk.

As Azazel gently turned to face me, I turned to face her as if responding.

The gaze staring at me through the long black hair was deep.

As I met her lips with a soft smile and her eyes filled with confidence, I naturally felt relaxed.

“I don’t think you watched my game, Han Tiansheng. Right?”

“Yeah, I didn’t see it.”

As I was answering, Glesia suddenly came to mind.

On the day of Azazel’s match, I played my own match and deliberately did not watch her match. And that night, Glesia came up to me and wanted to share her thoughts on Azazel’s game.

And I carefully declined her favor.

“Aren’t you really curious? “It would be easier to deal with me if you knew more about what kind of power I have and how strong I am.”

“We’re going to face each other on game day anyway.”

“okay? Still, it’s a little strange. “I’m very interested in your power, but you actually don’t care this much about me.”

As Azazel, who had a strange voice and a refreshing smile, stared at me, I transparently met her gaze.

‘Chain of Light.’

As someone who watched the match against Darsha in the past, I knew a little about the power of Azazel’s characteristics. It’s not as if I wasn’t curious about her after hearing of her landslide victory over Grande Pelua last weekend.

however.

… … I just didn’t want to know.

I didn’t necessarily want to show interest in her, nor did I want to express anything to Azazel as much as she showed interest in me.

I feel like I’m behaving just as she wants.

And the reason was extremely simple.

“… … .”

Even as I stared at Azazel, I felt that the emotions in my heart had suddenly become quite diluted.

And as the emotions were diluted, even the hostility that had been there faded. The longer I spent time with Azazel and the more we talked, the more diluted those feelings became.

-Vengeance.

The fact that my hatred for Azazel is fading away as time goes by… … .

I didn’t like it.

“You really hate me.”

When Azazel burst into laughter as if he sensed my thoughts, I also let out a small laugh.

“Because I don’t want to like you that much.”

This Colosseum was of great value to me in many ways. It was a place where I had to prove my worth in front of the royal family, nobles, and tens of thousands of people, and I also had to acquire magical engineering items that would make me stronger in the coming crisis.

And there were personal feelings.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s personal revenge.’

I purely wanted to trample on Azazel.

Even now, I will make Azazel, who smiles calmly in front of me, feel completely helpless. Her heart was filled with a destructive desire to destroy her in front of tens of thousands of spectators in her stadium.

“… … .”

In the past, even now, I have not forgotten how Azazel calmly spoke to Darsha while destroying her in front of me.

Even though I had suspicions that she might be an apostle, I couldn’t shake that feeling.

‘I’d rather have Azazel be an apostle.’

So that I can hate and hate her more. It was to the point where he hoped that Azazel was an apostle rather than any other being being an apostle.

That time when I was staring at her like that. Azazel smiled so slowly, so satisfied that it made me feel strange to look at her.

Grumbling.

Immediately after that, her black hair, disheveled by her touch, momentarily disturbed my vision.

“Good.”

The corners of my eyes blurred at the strangely excited voice.

She knows how I feel now.

She knows more clearly than anyone else how I feel when I look at her. Yet, he says such strange things without any hesitation.

That was something I couldn’t understand.

“… … “Azazel, what is so good about it?”

“Your expression now. “I love the way your face looks at me.”

Contrary to the refreshing voice, my face crumpled.

It was strange.

I have never shown any feelings of favor towards Azazel. I didn’t show her good feelings, and just because I talked to her, I couldn’t say that the feelings I showed her were in her favor.

Rather, I showed blatant hostility.

He is suspicious of Azazel and expresses hostility towards her. In that case, she should have been hostile towards me.

But that’s not true… … didn’t

“You may not understand why I am saying this. huh. “Maybe so.”

“Azazel. “If you’re joking, stop it.”

He spoke coldly, further calming his emotions.

“You’re not kidding, are you?”

As she laughed as if she couldn’t bear it, her hands tightened.

“I’m just excited. “Will you be able to have the same feelings as you do now when you face me in the stadium?”

“… … “Look forward to it.”

“Don’t bother trying to understand me. Just as I am now treating you without understanding, you just have to see me as I am.”

An extremely strange statement followed.

And it was a moment.

ㅡ!

The moment I felt that Azazel’s eyes that were staring at me had a strange light.

Jerk.

In an instant, my body stiffened. At the same time, even my mind turned completely white in an instant. All thoughts disappeared, and my hands and legs trembled.

I was out of breath and couldn’t do anything.

At the same time, when she was out of my sight, I didn’t understand.

“… … “What are you doing now?”

Even as I forced my stiff body to move and speak, I felt like I was getting goosebumps all over my body.

Azazel didn’t get away from me.

‘I am from Azazel… … .’

I was trying to get away.

When I realized that I was the one who took a step back, an indescribable emotion filled my heart.

ㅡ!

Then, as the light in Azazel’s eyes slowly faded, I was able to breathe properly.

“I don’t care one bit what you think of me, just like I did in the beginning. But I do it purely because I feel sad. It’s just that you don’t expect more from me. So, the power I showed you a little while ago. I want you to engrave that feeling into your body. “I have no intention of ending the match with you easily.”

From noble mtl dot come

I could only exhale absentmindedly as her voice continued leisurely.

My body didn’t want to do anything else, just spit out the breath that had built up to the tip of my chin and breathe in again.

Again.

The moment I looked in despair at Azazel passing me by.

The accident happened later.

‘strength?’

This couldn’t be said to be strength. It was something I had never felt from anyone else before.

A feeling that cannot be described in words.

It was as if my body had become rigid as I faced something I could not resist.

Is this how a prey feels when facing a natural enemy? It was completely different from the intimidation I felt when facing the apostle in the past.

‘Qualitatively different than that… … .’

Again.

As I heard the sound of steps slowly moving away from me, I was like a stone statue, unable to keep my steps away for a moment.

***

Crash.

Azazel returned to his room and felt strange as he slowly closed the door.

She did something unexpected.

“Why did you do that… … .”

Tuk.

I ended up muttering absentmindedly while leaning against the closed door.

When I heard that the bracket had been announced, I left the room to check it. And by chance, I ran into Han Tiansheng and had a short conversation.

That short time was quite enjoyable.

Because it was an unexpected pleasure. So, without realizing it, I did something unplanned.

I even ended up doing something I shouldn’t have done.

I ended up showing a part of my true self. For a moment, I opened up to Han Cheonseong and revealed the parts of my existence that I had been repressing all along.

Sreuk.

I was leaning against the door, lost in thought, and then burst out laughing.

“Well, I guess it doesn’t really matter.”

I felt light-hearted and burst into laughter.

Han Tiansheng won’t understand anyway. No matter what kind of power it was or what kind of sensation it felt, Han Tiansheng had not yet reached that stage.

But it will instinctively come face to face with me.

“Because you won’t avoid me.”

Then it didn’t matter.

Han Tiansheng and I have no choice but to get involved anyway. In addition, Han Tiansheng will definitely meet me at the stadium.

‘He’ll probably try to use all his power to deal with me.’

The absolute feelings that Xinchang had for Sado had already had a great influence on Han Tiansheng’s instincts.
