Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 649
649. Mythic Grade

“woke up?”
As soon as I became conscious, I heard an extremely soft voice.
The first thing that caught my eye was her shiny blonde hair, and then her beautiful face with perfect lines without even the slightest blemish. There was a woman in front of me with exquisite beauty, as if a craftsman had put a lot of effort into making it.
‘Rachel… … ?’
And the moment I remembered her name, I instantly thought it was a dream.
Even if I don’t understand how the situation unfolded, there’s no way Rachel would suddenly be in front of me.
Sreuk.
However, I immediately realized that it was not a dream due to the strange sensation I felt as I woke up.
“Why is Princess Rachel here… … .”
As I was talking, I realized belatedly where I was. Treatment room. It was a place I often came to.
“I came here because I was worried. I also wanted to check how my body is doing. Still, it’s nice to see you come to your senses like this. “The therapist said there would be no problem with my body.”
While I was nodding my head absentmindedly as the voice continued calmly, I naturally took a look at my body.
“okay… … .”
It was definitely normal. Other people were amazed that a cure and treatment could be done so perfectly without even the slightest pain.
Millia, Karite, Glesia, Luna and even instructor Kali. There were so many people in the treatment room.
Glancing.
And when I gently turned my head to the side, I could even see Azazel, who was breathing heavily and unconscious.
‘It’s over.’
It was clear that the game was over.
Then a small laugh escaped me. As I deployed the fourth ceremony, Surabicheon, my spear touched down. But that was the end.
Because I lost consciousness, even though I achieved my original goal of using Surabichen, I was not able to completely win against Azazel.
“And sincere congratulations on making it to the finals.”
But I blinked blankly at her next words.
“… … Did I win?”
“sure. Oh, you might lose consciousness right after, so you might not know the outcome. In the match, Azazel accepted his defeat. “He said he didn’t win the game.”
Rachel’s soft voice made me look at Azazel again without realizing it.
‘He admitted defeat… … .’
Honestly, I was surprised.
Originally, I should have gone further and asked properly. I asked if I would accept defeat, but I couldn’t finish it, and Azazel said that himself.
“I was amazed at every moment while watching the game. I had no idea you had so much power, much less that you would reach level 7 during the game. “Although advancing to the finals is also advancing, I think it’s a day with a lot to celebrate.”
“… … I’m just thankful. And I think I got lucky.”
“It’s not luck. You didn’t give up on yourself. “You tried to fight until the end, and your strength grew even further because of that will.”
As she continued speaking in a soft voice, it felt a bit unfamiliar to me as a listener.
I now know how much I have gained. But hearing it like this from someone else felt different.
It felt even more special to be recognized by a member of the royal family.
‘And it’s not just Rachel.’
Everyone would have been watching.
About the power I possess and the true value of the power I have shown.
As I thought about that, I suddenly looked at Rachel.
Then wouldn’t that explain why she’s here? She knew she had feelings for me, but she thought there was more to it than that.
As I was conscious of her eyes looking at me, she suddenly smiled brightly.
“Then I will stop here. We were able to confirm that you were well and celebrate properly. Next time, if you’re excited, let’s have a more honest conversation. “I have so much to tell you.”
“yes. Princess, I will be waiting for that time.”
I immediately bowed my head and showed respect, and Rachel stood up gracefully.
“Then, take care of yourself for the rest of your time. “I will be rooting for the finals that will be held soon.”
Again.
As she left, I stared blankly at her back.
It felt like a storm had come and gone.
He approaches me casually, says several words, and then disappears.
And the aftermath… … .
It was never written down.
Crash.
As soon as the door closed, it felt so foreign that the space was filled with silence. It was also the case that everyone’s previously cautious gaze was focused directly on me.
Not just one or two people, but everyone was looking at me.
Even the therapist’s older sister looked at me suspiciously, and it was very strange for me to receive those looks.
“excuse me… … “You’re all here because you’re worried about me, right?”
When I told this to everyone, including Instructor Kali, everyone nodded. The sight of them nodding their heads almost simultaneously felt very strange to me.
I just smiled awkwardly, feeling strangely like I was a politician standing in a hearing.
Cleaning up the place where the storm swept away… … I felt like I had to do it.

‘ha.’
A silent sigh rang especially loudly in Carly’s heart.
“You really don’t have any relationship with the princess, do you? Something like that… … ?”
“I would like you to answer this question honestly.”
Cadet Han Cheon-seong was seen shaking his head in embarrassment as he saw cadets Millia and Karite asking sharp questions.
“no. It’s not that kind of relationship at all. “Princess Rachel only acts like that because she has good intentions towards me.”
“Besides that, the princess’s interest in you seems special.”
Cadet Han Cheon-seong paused for a moment at Cadet Glesia’s cold voice.
“I guess… … “Because I showed something in today’s game, I think the princess is trying to treat me better.”
“that… … Maybe so. “It’s not like you can’t understand.”
Cadet Luna even rolled his eyes as he answered in passing.
As I watched it all, my heart stirred even more strangely. My head was filled with so many thoughts right now.
Cadet Han Cheon-seong showed great potential today, a result that completely proved his worth. And with advancing to the finals, the attribute has reached level 7.
It was definitely something that no matter how many times we celebrated each and every one of them, it would not be enough.
however… … .
I couldn’t just accept it with joy.
‘Even if it’s fast, it’s too fast.’
Cadet Han Cheon-seong’s growth, which was already fast, was progressing too quickly. Cadet Han Cheon-seong showed off his strength to the extent of showing unprecedented strength, which was even more surprising to me, who thought I had watched him grow.
It was like that before, but now I can think clearly.
‘There’s something.’
Something about Cadet Han Cheon-seong that I don’t know.
His growth could not be explained simply by thinking that he was talented. Even if it was abnormal, there was a degree to it.
In that sense, Cadet Han Cheon-seong had no way of understanding.
The cadets who entered school this year have reached ‘Characteristic Level 7’. Even though this year is slowly coming to an end, who can believe this?
Glancing.
My gaze fell on Cadet Azazel, who was dazed and unconscious.
‘Even if there is an Azazel cadet, he is different from her.’
Although there are actual examples of her reaching level 7, she at least had what could be called ‘legendary characteristics’. Considering that the higher her attribute level, the faster she grows, even Azazel cadets can be said to have incredible talent, but her Agar cadets were different.
Because he is a common trait.
However, it shows such rapid growth. Above all, are there really no costs or side effects to gaining this much power? That was my biggest worry.
“So, everyone, don’t worry too much. And as I said before, the reason I have a relationship with the princess is because I never created a relationship with her out of selfish interest.”
Even now, as I looked at Cadet Han Cheon-seong and talked to many people, my heart calmed down.
I thought he would prove how good he is with this Grand Colosseum, but that was also a bit strange.
‘Am I jealous?’
Honestly, I didn’t think I had those feelings.
Because he gets too much attention. On the one hand, I was happy that everyone knew that he was such an outstanding person, but on the other hand, I was worried.
The same thing happened to Princess Rachel right now.
She showed special interest in Cadet Han Cheon-seong, to the point where she personally visited him and used the elixir. Even though everyone was watching, Princess Rachel expressed her own interest as if she didn’t care about other people’s opinions.
I, who had been looking at Cadet Han Cheon-seong for a long time, could not know what that meant.
It can never be mere interest. As Cadet Han Cheon-seong said last time, I couldn’t help but be concerned because I believed that he formed a relationship with the royal family to avoid subjugation to the imperial family by belonging to a faction.
From noble mtl dot come
“Now, have you all had enough to talk to Cadet Han Cheon-seong now?”
When I thought the time was right, I just gave up.
“Ah yes. “Instructor.”
I looked at the cadets who were looking at me awkwardly and smiled lightly.
“Cadet Han Cheon-seong will also need a little more stability. Even though the treatment has been completed and there is no problem with my body, since I rolled my body so violently, can everyone please leave now?”
“Instructor. I’m fine… … .”
When Cadet Han Cheon-seong suddenly tried to answer, I quietly made eye contact with him.
I’m trying to make time for just the two of us right now, but why are we counting the seconds? As soon as I said it silently, I got the exact same response.
“… … .”
Cadet Han Cheon-seong, who was speechless, nodded quietly, and the other cadets agreed with my words one by one and began to leave.
Crash.
As everyone left, I looked at the therapist before quietly leaving.
“I’m sorry, but could you please leave for a moment? “I have something to say to Cadet Han Cheon-seong alone.”
“Ah yes. all right.”
After asking for understanding, the two of us were able to remain alone.
Even though there was an Azazel cadet who was unconscious, I thought it was worth the risk.
Sreuk.
“ha.”
A small breath escaped as I gently sat down next to Cadet Han Cheon-seong. It felt like my complicated feelings were finally relieved.
“Instructor Kali… … .”
Even when I saw him calling me awkwardly, I burst into laughter.
“I just wanted to have a conversation like this. “Don’t be so nervous.”
“yes.”
A faint smile escaped me as I watched him take a deep breath at my words.
Now that we were finally able to have a conversation alone, I thought about what I should say first, and it ended up being just one thing.
I had to listen to him.
“Cadet Han Tiansheng, are you hiding something from me?”
Stop.
When Cadet Han Cheon-seong responded with his body, he gently stretched out his hand.
Sreuk.
While gently caressing Cadet Han Cheon-seong’s hand, he spoke as gently as possible.
“Are you sure this is something difficult to tell me?”
I didn’t want him to feel pressured by my words. Still, he wanted me to tell him.
“no. It’s not that hard to say. but… … It was because I didn’t have time. “I can tell you now.”
When he met my eyes as if he had made up his mind, he nodded cautiously.
‘This is enough.’
I have no intention of forcing an answer. I just wish he would tell me directly.
“My specialty is spearmanship… … . Actually, it wasn’t common grade. “It was at myth level.”
Tuk.
I could only blink blankly at the words that followed.
“Now, wait a minute. What did you just say… … ?”
