Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 657



657. Grand Colosseum Finals – Impossible

***

The morning of the finals.

As the morning sunlight brightly crossed the window frame and illuminated the inner room, Cheonseong opened his eyes as if reacting to it.

“… … .”

Even as I blinked blankly, a small yawn escaped me.

‘It’s really painful.’

Even though I thought I went to bed a little earlier because of the finals, my body felt as heavy as wet cotton.

Although I was completely cured after receiving treatment yesterday, all the muscles in my body were contracted, making my movements quite unnatural.

Tap, tap!

As I stretched and stood up, my bones rang loudly.

The bones rang so loudly at the same time that I ended up laughing while trying to relax.

“If anyone saw it, they would think you broke a bone.”

While speaking, he slowly nodded his head while turning his arms and stretching his legs.

My body isn’t in the best condition right now like it was yesterday, but it can’t always be at its best anyway.

One day is a short time. Yesterday, I exerted so much force and was seriously injured, but it was almost a miracle that I was able to move as smoothly as I did now.

“And Celestia will be similar.”

Above all, if I thought I wasn’t the only one with bad conditions, I wouldn’t have any complaints about the schedule.

Because everyone worked hard and reached the finals.

As I approached the only game left today, I had to do my best until the end without any regrets.

‘Because I have to win.’

And rather than being confident about winning, I became more aware of the ‘necessity’.

A strange conversation I had with Azazel after the game yesterday. When I thought about Eusilia, one of the nine apostles, my alertness went up even higher.

“Because a bigger crisis will come in the future.”

I had to get closer to Azazel and let down her guard, but I also had to become stronger than I am now.

Even though we achieved such great growth yesterday, even more… … .

Yes, I had to become stronger.

And in order to do that, the winning prize, the magical engineering item ‘Crimson Luna’, had to be seen as a magical engineering item that I absolutely needed.

In fact, it is a golden opportunity that will never come to me again in the future, and the value of magical engineering items that I can own permanently is immeasurable.

‘I must have it.’

So, you can’t miss it.

… … .

A light breakfast with several people and a short conversation.

Before I could even pick it up, I arrived at the Grand Colosseum stage.

The game starts at 1pm.

It was the morning time, when there were no audiences yet, and I had no intention of wasting this time.

“I need to relax my body.”

Rather than resting before the start of the game for no reason, I thought I should use my body more at times like this.

I now fully know the durability and limitations of my body. Considering my slightly improved body after reaching attribute level 7, this was more appropriate than using my body carefully.

Sreuk.

I took a deep breath while taking out the spear on my back.

The spear in my hand was heavy. It definitely felt heavier than yesterday.

I slowly closed my eyes while holding it tighter.

Slowly, through my vision, which is gradually becoming dark.

I also emptied my mind very slowly.

‘… … .’

While imagining a quiet lake without even the slightest ripple, I repeat inhaling and exhaling slowly.

It’s as if my body, which is unconsciously tense, is slowly relaxing, but I don’t completely relax while applying a certain amount of strength to the hand holding the spear.

Soon my heart was filled with extreme comfort.

There is nothing to think deeply about, and it is not a situation for that.

Now all I have left is one game.

With only the most important step left, if I take this step properly and reach the end, I can reap the fruits of the efforts I have put in over the past month.

Time passed like that.

A quiet and quiet time.

I relaxed my body with my mind, feeling this time of being alone without anyone’s interference.

The method of loosening the body did not require direct movement and use of force.

By completely tuning my mind and spirit and aligning my body with my mind, I naturally relax.

The various powers that came to mind when I reached level 7 did not just mean vaguely powerful powers. There is something internal, a strange power that makes you reflect on yourself a little more.

Just in this moment of closing my eyes and letting my body relax, I felt a deep sense of spiritual uplift.

comfort.

Suddenly, the hand holding the spear didn’t feel so heavy.

Now I have come to accept it naturally, as if it has become a part of my body.

And the end of that time has come.

“ha… .”

I took a short breath and opened my closed eyes.

My vision, which had been engulfed in darkness, returns to its original state and I perceive reality. As I lowered my head and took in the sight of her spear-holding arms, legs, and waist, I felt a change.

“… … “It’s better than I thought.”

I thought it would definitely help, but the effect of meditation was better than I thought.

My body feels almost completely relaxed.

Swish!

When I lightly swung the spear, the blade moving quickly through the air did not feel strange at all.

As always, it feels like a part of my body.

smart.

ㅡHan Cheon-seong, are you inside?

“uh. there is.”

-There isn’t much left until the game starts, so you’ll have to prepare quickly.

At Millia’s soft voice, I let out a blank laugh.

‘I don’t think I meditated that long.’

Time was passing more uncontrollably than I was aware of.

“Okay, I’ll get ready right away, thanks for letting me know.”

Even as he spoke, he walked slowly.

The steps were also light.

The long-awaited final moment has already arrived.

The Grand Colosseum finals, and now I had to go on a meaningful stage that would soon put an end to everything.

***

Crash.

When the door to the training room connected to the waiting room opened, the attention of everyone in the waiting room naturally turned there.

Including instructor Kali and the cadets at the Central Academy.

Jerk.

And even under their gaze, Cheonseong calmly walked out. His appearance was neat and tidy, and his appearance had barely changed from what he had seen in the morning, even if he had undergone any training.

“Everyone was waiting.”

When Cheonseong spoke with a light laugh, everyone responded as if they had been waiting.

“Of course we have to watch.”

Leonhard’s bright voice,

“That’s right, how could we not watch the final? “We will all cheer together.”

Milia’s soft voice continued, and almost everyone was looking at him with anticipation.

“I will support you with all my heart!”

Karite’s bright voice and many words were exchanged.

There was one person staring blankly.

A person who stands apart, as if he does not mix with them.

It was Azazel.

“… … .”

She was looking at Cheon-cheon, but she was also examining it carefully.

And soon I noticed a change.

‘The movements seem very light.’

It was only a few steps and he didn’t show any special movements, but that was just the feeling.

There was no sign of feeling the weight or pressure of the final stage, and the unnatural movements that I had glimpsed in the morning were now completely gone.

Contrary to his neat appearance, he appears to have completely relaxed.

Soon after, the person in charge of the upcoming competition announced the entry time, and I just watched calmly.

‘Han Tiansheng will win anyway.’

That is probably an unchanging truth. Still, I think it would be interesting to see what the process is like.

Suddenly, yesterday’s game came to mind.

A human named Celestia.

The power that the woman manifested was clearly an abnormal power beyond her level. In some ways, it is a level that can be considered almost equivalent to the level 7 attribute, which is the power I am limiting myself.

And in this world, there was surprisingly little power given without compensation. If you manifest that much power, there will definitely be corresponding side effects. In the finals, there was no doubt that Han Tiansheng won.

Jerk.

As Han Tiansheng was passing in front of me, Han Tiansheng suddenly caught my eye.

“I will win.”

I blinked for a moment and awkwardly opened my mouth when I heard that voice strangely approaching me.

“… … okay.”

From noble mtl dot come

There was something very strange about it.

Unlike the fact that I was watching Han Tiansheng closely now and anticipating how Eusilia would threaten her in the future, Han Tonsheng’s attitude towards me seemed to have another purpose.

Jerk.

So Han Tiansheng headed to the stadium with a calm expression. The car tilted its head while looking at Han Tiansheng’s back.

ㅡ!

Instantly, my eyes widened.

“… … !”

Without realizing it, I turned my head to one side and at the same time became aware of a being existing in an unknown space beyond the waiting room wall.

‘what’s this?’

For a moment, my instincts became aware of only one presence.

So much so that I felt strongly aware of the distance even though it was so far away.

It was different from the presence implicitly exuded by the royal family and the golden knights protecting them.

It was truly overwhelming… … .

There is a being so powerful that one cannot shake off a strange wave of mana that feels as if the whole body is being crushed.

And then I immediately thought of the only being that could radiate this level of presence.

‘Nonsense.’

But she was originally an impossible being. A powerful being that cannot appear near us due to a secret curse placed by the original apostle in the distant past.

She is now proudly sitting in this Grand Colosseum.

“Ariya Schupelent… … .”

Even as I blurted out the name of that being, I couldn’t believe it.

How is she here?

‘Why can’t she escape the central magic tower…? … .’
