Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 625



625. Conversation with Ariya – Shinchang Eustea

***

The next day, Tuesday morning.

Due to the influence of the Grand Colosseum, the capital Edelphia was crowded with people from all over, but despite this, there was a separate space with a quiet atmosphere.

ㅡCentral Magic Tower.

Since ancient times, only mages could enter the Magic Tower, and even nobles with status needed to go through procedures to easily visit the Tower.

Therefore, the current Magic Tower was even more heterogeneous.

The Grand Colosseum could be said to be the largest festival in the empire, but it was not something that would be a hot topic among the wizards of the Tower of Magic.

But this year, the atmosphere was a little different.

Rumors about the Grand Colosseum spread within the magic tower, and of course, the rumor also reached Ariya, the owner of the magic tower.

… … .

The top floor of the Magic Tower, Ariya’s office.

While silence and stillness intersected inside, Ariya’s eyes twinkled carefully as she checked the documents.

Good, good.

As she was paying close attention to the documents by lightly signing or stamping them, Ariya gently stopped her hand as she picked up the next document.

The sunlight shining into my dazed eyes was unusually bright.

The weather was very drowsy today. The sunlight coming through the window was shining warmly on me, and although it wasn’t bad, it seemed to disturb my mind a little.

Tuk.

I stretched out loud as I put down the documents I had picked up.

“Haaa.”

Afterwards, he sighed and covered his lips with his hand. As she gently relieved her stiff body, her gaze absently turned to the window.

The sky was blue and so clear that there was not a single cloud.

“… … “I’m bored.”

I felt dazed as I spoke.

When I asked if every day was busy recently, it wasn’t like that. I had to check the documents that came up every day, and I recently started giving lectures for the magicians in the magic tower and conducting personal magic research again.

So, to be honest, I didn’t have that much free time.

But my heart strangely felt that way.

‘This daily life is so boring…’ … .’

And the reason why that was so was very clear.

Sreuk.

As I slowly swept my hair up, the silver hair shining brightly in the sunlight felt strange today. Because it was so white, something that contrasted with it came to mind.

“What are you doing now?”

While muttering absentmindedly, something suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Now when I think about the black hair that contrasts sharply with the silver hair I have, and the eyes that we met every day. At the time, I thought it was so natural that I didn’t pay much attention to it, but it was definitely a special eye.

When I went downstairs to lecture and saw other mages, I felt the difference even bigger.

“Han Tiansheng… … .”

I clenched my chin while muttering a person’s name in a daze.

Mages who stay in the magic tower must also be evaluated as intelligent among humans, and they can only enter the magic tower if they have an innate ability to use mana.

Even when I think of their passionate eyes and the envious looks they looked at me, they were different from Han Tiansheng.

What’s so different about it… … .

“I really don’t have the motivation to teach.”

As I spoke, I burst into laughter without realizing it. But that was really how I felt.

Han Tiansheng stayed at the Magic Tower for a little over a month. At that time, I felt like I was polishing a brilliant gem. But now, it felt like polishing miscellaneous gems that can be easily found anywhere.

It feels like I’m teaching a human being who I don’t think is worth investing my time in, rather than a jewel that I need to craft with great care and effort.

In short, I was not satisfied.

I felt rewarded every day by teaching outstanding students, and my feelings could not be the same as before when I saw students whose growth progress was so slow even though I was teaching someone like this.

“You shouldn’t show favoritism to someone like this… … .”

Strictly speaking, Han Tiansheng was not an official disciple, but my heart kept wandering to Han Tiansheng.

Grumbling.

Then he quickly shook his head.

He has already left the Magic Tower, and now he is probably walking the path he should follow.

Then there is no need for me to pay attention to them and meet them.

I said I would meet him periodically, but I didn’t really want to find Han Tiansheng.

‘Because the next time we meet, it will shine even brighter.’

Rather, I thought that now was a time of waiting.

Now several weeks have passed. I had the belief that the longer I waited, the more I would be able to see how much Han Tian-seong had grown.

‘therefore.’

For now, all I had to do was spend time looking forward to it.

Ok.

I gathered myself together and picked up the documents again.

“… !”

Without realizing it, my eyes widened for a moment. It was naturally detected by mana.

It was so sudden that I sensed a very familiar mana that couldn’t have been wrong.

‘Han Tiansheng?’

It was also clear mana that could not be clearly distinguished from other humans. Why did he enter the magic tower? A car he couldn’t understand for a moment.

smart.

Soon I heard a knock on the door, so I narrowed my eyes and opened my mouth.

“What is it for?”

“Lord Magic Tower. Han Tiansheng has now arrived on the first floor of the Magic Tower. “I am requesting to see the Mage Tower Lord, but what should I do?”

I blinked blankly at the serious voice of the mage.

I knew it, but hearing it in a voice like this made me feel very strange.

‘It’s sure to be busy.’

If you occasionally hear news about the Grand Colosseum, you probably don’t have much time, but suddenly you came to see me at this time.

***

Tuk.

With the sound of tea being placed, the faint scent of tea spreads through the office.

“First of all, I’m sorry for coming to you so suddenly. “But thank you so much for taking the time.”

When Cheonseong, who was staring at the teacup in front of him, opened his mouth, Ariya, who was sitting directly across from him, nodded and slowly crossed her legs.

Sreuk.

From noble mtl dot come

As her white legs crossed eerily between her luxurious pure white robes, Cheonseong gave me a look without realizing it.

But that was only for a moment.

“okay. That doesn’t really matter. So why did you come to see me? “I understand you’re pretty busy right now.”

“I have something I would like to ask Ariya separately.”

“Is there something you want to ask me?”

As Ariya answered casually, Cheonseong let out a small laugh at her cold voice.

At first glance, it seemed like a very blunt voice. It feels like the person who came to visit is not very welcome. However, Ariya’s unique composure in that voice felt like it had been a very long time to Cheonseong.

“yes. “There is something I really want to hear.”

I gently looked up from the teacup and made eye contact with her.

A being that stood against the apostles of the beginning. She thought that if she had to ask anyone for advice about him, it would be none other than Arya Scheufellent.

As a high elf, she has lived longer than anyone I know, and she would know the ‘truth’ about the history of this world more than anyone else.

“Tell me first. “I don’t know what you want to know, but I’m quite curious that you came to me like this.”

As I met the two eyes that were staring at me calmly, I first raised my glass and moistened my mouth.

As the bitter taste of the tea made my mind a little clearer, words came out more easily.

“The apostle of the beginning.”

“… … !”

I looked at Ariya, who paused at my words and looked at me, and continued speaking again.

“A human who opposed the apostle in the beginning. “He must have wielded a spear and wielded great power just like I do now… I believe that Lord Ariya knows about him.”

In the past, Ariya had said something strange when she saw my openness.

I don’t think she said anything specific to me at the time, but considering how meticulous I know Ariya to be, it would be different now.

“Why are you suddenly asking that… … ? The timing feels very clever. “Is it just curiosity or something?”

“no. I didn’t come here out of simple curiosity. I just thought I should know from now on. “You can’t be ignorant of the existence that is the origin of your power.”

There was no hesitation as I answered calmly.

Ariya’s appearance right away didn’t seem as unknown as I thought. She seemed to know something, as if she had done her own research.

“You can’t do it if you don’t know.”

“yes. With that in mind, I came to see Ariya. “I think it’s really important to me.”

I added a little more to express my sincerity.

I’ll have to decide my attitude toward Azazel later, but before that, I thought this was my top priority.

If I don’t know my origins, I can’t understand Azazel’s purpose or the strange expectations he has for me at all.

And if I don’t understand that, nothing means anything to me right now.

“It’s an unexpected question at a completely unexpected time.”

“Can you tell me?”

“I’m telling you, it’s not difficult. “I was planning on telling you properly the next time I see you anyway.”

When Ariya calmly met my eyes and answered, my heart became even more excited without me knowing.

‘thank god.’

Right now, I felt more reassuring than anything else that Ariya was kind to me.

“Sinchang Eustea.”

Tuk.

Afterwards, all my movements stopped as I heard the voice that rang out from Ariya’s mouth.

“I am the human being who is the origin of your power. It could be said that he was the only human who stood against the original apostle. After you left the Magic Tower, I also did a lot of research. “Of course, I thought you should know the origin of your power.”

Even though Ariya calmly told the story, I was just blankly… … .

I could only stare at her blankly.

Between Ariya’s eyes, which were now staring at me with a calm face, my eyes were actually looking at something very different.

I was looking at a space as if it were projected.

The image of the man who opposed the apostle in the beginning appeared more clearly in my eyes.

‘why… … .’

Did I finally find out?

In that strange feeling, that was the only thought that came to my mind.

A wave of strange emotions was rushing through me, as if something was stuck in my heart, and I couldn’t lift a finger.

“Han Tiansheng… … ?”

I absentmindedly took a breath while Ariya’s voice called me as if she was wondering.

ha.

The moment I took a deep breath, my body completely stopped and only then did it regain its original vitality.

“… … ha.”

I exhaled more harshly and tried to catch my breath.

“What, are you okay?”

“yes. Fine… … “Oh.”

Even though I was barely able to answer, my mind felt like it was going to explode.

… … Eustea.

… … Sinchang Eustea.

Even as I absentmindedly recalled the name, I found myself staring blankly at my hands.

Since when did it start?

There was a strange light hovering in my hand.

“What is this light again…? … ?”

“I was early… … “I guess I should have known sooner.”

I felt it instinctively.

It was a change.

A huge change was about to hit me right now.
