Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 628
628. Extreme rejection
***
ㅡPossibility.
Depending on one’s perspective, it could be said to be a word with many meanings.
For some people, it symbolizes ‘hope’ that anything is possible just because there is a possibility, but on the other hand, if the possibility is low or slim, it symbolizes ‘fear’ that makes people reluctant to even try.
In that sense, the possibilities Han Tiansheng thought of were quite different.
Jerk.
When I returned from the Magic Tower to my lodgings, I slowly looked inside. There were several people on the first floor of the spacious luxury inn, and their faces looked quite familiar.
Cadets from several academies participating in the Colosseum. Even if they failed, there was a comfortable atmosphere as if they were enjoying the remaining Colosseum period.
‘Where is Azazel now?’
I looked at their faces and thought about what I had to do.
Considering what I had to do before the game this weekend, I had to assume that time was tight.
Even including today, it is only about 4 days. During that time, I had to show Azazel something meaningful.
Again.
And at that moment, I heard the sound of shoes coming from the second floor, and naturally my gaze was drawn.
Her long black hair swayed as she walked, and her expression as she opened her eyes languidly remained indifferent.
Azazel. she was she
“… … ?”
She naturally looked at me too, and as if by chance, our eyes met.
Throbbing.
In an instant, my heart was greatly shaken.
As my emotions fluctuated like waves crashing in, I couldn’t understand for a moment without realizing it.
‘Why suddenly?’
I felt like my emotional turmoil would show on the outside, so I bit my lip to steady myself.
And just as I thought, I walked towards her. Through her meeting with Ariya, I got to know Xinchang Justea. She said it made a huge difference to me, but I was still imperfect.
‘Before the power of the Divine Spear is fully awakened… … .’
Time is essential. And even I can’t guarantee how long it will take.
-In that case, I had to approach Azazel.
Even if it is only a possibility, it is clearly a possibility now. Because I absolutely have to try.
Jerk. Again.
As I walked toward her, Azazel also came down the stairs as if approaching me.
Afterwards, as if it was natural, we faced each other on the first floor.
“That’s amazing.”
When she first spoke in a calm voice, I accepted her words calmly.
“What is so amazing?”
“It’s just that you hate me. “But it wasn’t enough that he just stared at me, he approached me first, so how can I not be surprised by that?”
He spoke in an extremely calm voice, and I nodded slightly.
‘When I think about it, it’s always been that way.’
There have been quite a few encounters with Azazel since the Grand Colosseum was held. But I have rarely tried to approach her like this first.
But now it had to be done.
Even though I still have negative feelings about Azazel, I have a decisive reason to approach her.
“Anyway, what’s your business? “You came to me like this because you had something else to say to me.”
“Okay, I have something to say as you say. So, by the way, are you free today?”
“hour… … ? “When I see you say that, don’t you think you’re trying to have a short conversation?”
I tried to smile as Azazel gazed leisurely at me.
“If it’s okay, I’d like you to give me some time. “I think it may take some time in some cases.”
“… … .”
After that, her lips naturally connected. He silently stared into my eyes as if he had no intention of giving me an answer.
Her eyes were filled with interest, curiosity, and narrowed eyes, and she was looking at me as if she was openly searching.
It feels like he wants to know the true meaning of why I approached him this way.
Despite her blatant gaze, I had to make eye contact with her.
‘It can’t be avoided.’
If I avoid her now, everything I think about when I return will be distorted.
I didn’t reveal it to Ariya, but the moment I became aware of the power of the divine spear Eustea at the Magic Tower a little while ago, unexpected memories appeared in my head.
That wasn’t what I remembered. Eustea Things like fragments of various memories he had. And recalling that memory for a moment, I was convinced.
The fact that Azazel approached me was in itself a golden opportunity that would never come again.
“Hmm… … . What can I say, it’s a very strange feeling. “I never thought you would say that to me.”
However, unexpectedly, when Azazel showed no sign of accepting it easily, my heart became a little anxious.
I had to approach her. And I had to have a proper conversation and find out more.
“If you want something from me, I’m willing to listen to it to some extent.”
“What do I want? Han Cheon-seong. “You know what I want when you say things like that?”
“Azazel. You are interested in me. no?”
He smiled leisurely, pretending to be calm on the outside.
The moment she becomes convinced that Azazel is an apostle, she cannot help but become interested in me. And all of her past actions were easily understandable when viewed in that context.
Of course Azazel is still interested in me.
“… … .”
“… … .”
A strange gaze crossed for a moment without saying anything.
A strange atmosphere, with each person standing in place and exchanging glances at a distance of just over a step.
Murmur.
Even though I was aware that the eyes of many people around us were focused on us, I ran into them head on.
I had to get a little closer.
“good. “I’ll give you time.”
Then, when Azazel readily accepted, I nodded, gently squeezing and unclenching his hand.
“… … thank you.”
Considering the future conversation, I couldn’t ignore Azazel or express my negative feelings out loud like before.
I also have to show that I will treat her properly.
From noble mtl dot come
“Thank you… … . It’s really strange today. What on earth do you want to do with me that made you change your attitude so much? “I’m so curious.”
When Azazel turned around again with a cool smile, I slowly followed her steps.
As I climbed back up the stairs I came down, I carefully composed myself.
‘It’s strange.’
Saying what you think is harder than you think.
Not in a physical sense, but in my mind, I feel a constant sense of rejection.
I felt it when I saw her a little while ago, but now it felt like my body was rejecting Azazel.
The moment I talk to Azazel, I feel uncomfortable even breathing in and out at close range with her.
“… … “I just felt like I needed to have a proper conversation with you.”
Nevertheless, when he tried to compose himself and open the conversation, Azazel burst into laughter.
“So the conversation you had with me before wasn’t a proper conversation?”
“Because I denied you.”
There was nothing to hide. To do that, I needed to be honest about my feelings.
“Does that mean that you treat me differently now?”
As Azazel asked in a strange voice, I frowned without even realizing it.
My heart throbbed again.
‘Why so… … .’
Is there a strong sense of rejection?
It was different from the rejection of Azazel, who thought he was an apostle. It was just particularly bad today.
A horrifying sensation that makes you want to get away from her right away.
“… … “It’s different than before.”
As I struggled to answer and not show my negative feelings, Azazel burst into laughter.
“Yes, that’s right. “Then I’m looking forward to it too.”
She slowly stopped walking in a relaxed voice. Then, I stared blankly ahead.
‘When did I walk all the way here?’
It was in front of a boudoir.
It was strange when I thought about it. She didn’t know why Azazel came down and walked back to her second floor, but she had to think about where she was headed.
Crash.
“Come inside.”
As Azazel walked into the inner room with a light word, I felt like my heart sank without me realizing it.
‘I know I feel uncomfortable right now.’
I tried my best to pretend to be Taeyeon and not show negative emotions towards her. Azazel seemed to notice my feelings as if she was proud of it.
That I am feeling rejected now more than ever.
Otherwise there was no reason for her to lead me to her room. Actually, when I think about the content of her conversation with her, I should naturally accept it… … .
“… … .”
Strangely enough, my steps were not moving at all.
Throbbing.
It felt like a part of my mind kept interfering with my thinking.
-Stay away from Azazel.
My body keeps sending me unknown signals.
‘no. ‘You can’t do that.’
Jerk.
But I ignored that signal and walked away with effort.
Crash.
As I went inside and closed the door, I took a deep breath.
“Sit comfortably.”
“… … okay.”
For me, now was the ‘beginning’.
A huge start that can change all future fates.
