Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 658
658. Grand Colosseum Final – Ariya Schupelent and Proposal (2)
***
Grand Coliseum final.
The heat of that day was hot at any time of the year, but this year it was even more special.
As the excitement reached its peak, even those who were not normally interested in the Colosseum became interested, and the number of spectators exceeded 10,000 people, and tickets were sold out, and even the sign price jumped several times more.
However, today, the day of the finals, a big surprise occurred.
A strange phenomenon where there is a void, as if one side of the audience is empty.
Everyone had no choice but to understand when they saw the being at the center of a result that could never have been possible.
Sarah… … !
The woman who appeared with the hem of her pure white robe fluttering splendidly and her even whiter silver hair fluttering through it was full of mystery.
Anyone who saw the look in her eyes could never have thought that way.
Intense.
She presented an overwhelming presence, as if her extremely powerful presence was weighing down those around her.
The current magic tower lord of the central magic tower. An almost one-of-a-kind being that is known to be difficult to meet even with the current emperor of the empire.
Ariya Schupelent.
It was because she appeared at the stadium.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Everyone was staring blankly in surprise at her untimely appearance.
“It’s not too late.”
In fact, Ariya leisurely sat down in the center of the empty space.
Her elegant figure stood out between the pure white robes. And there was a good reason for her leisure now.
She ‘purchased’ the area around the stands where she is now by paying several times, or even close to 10 times, the price of the sign on the market. There was no one who would not simply give the price more and transfer the ticket if the name of the magic tower was mentioned.
She had paid a large amount of money that even a decent noble would not think about simply to watch the show in a comfortable environment.
“I guess that’s why you called me to the Magic Tower.”
The only person by Ariya’s side. When Adelia, with her emerald hair, opened her mouth in a daze, Ariya looked at her and smiled slightly.
“okay. Because it would be a waste of time to go to the stadium and wait. It must have been a good experience since you rarely have the opportunity to experience teleportation like this. is not it?”
“yes. very… … “It was a mystical experience.”
Adelia, who was accompanying Ariya, gave a vague answer and could not hide her surprise.
Even though I had many experiences with moving to a specific place like a warp, the magic of jumping over space with pure personal power made me feel unrealistic beyond imagination.
Just as Ariya had other mages purchase a large number of tickets for the finals, Adelia had also purchased tickets in advance to watch the finals.
However, the position she sought was related to the position Ariya was trying to seek, so the two met and moved together.
Sreuk.
As Adelia carefully sat down next to Ariya, Ariya turned her gaze towards the stadium.
Even in a situation where tens of thousands of spectators, the royal family, and even high-ranking nobles were focused on her, her purple eyes immediately caught Han Tiansheng’s sight on the stadium.
“… … .”
A grin appeared on Han Tiansheng’s face as he looked at him in surprise.
‘That’s fun.’
When I saw that surprised expression, the first thing that occurred to me was that it was a good thing I came to watch the finals.
In fact, even though I vaguely heard about the Colosseum at the Magic Tower, I never thought about going to see it in person. But my thoughts changed after Han Tiansheng came to visit me a few days ago.
-What exactly was the situation that led Han Cheon-seong to come to me and ask about Eustea?
Because I thought there was something unusual inside the Grand Colosseum.
And yesterday I received huge news.
‘I heard that Han Tiansheng reached trait level 7, so it was true.’
It was an outrageous growth that would have originally been dismissed as false, but since the subject of the rumor was Han Cheon-seong, I naturally came to accept it.
And now.
It is also very meaningful to see with my own eyes the power of Han Cheon-seong, who has grown more rapidly here… … .
Sreuk.
As I made eye contact with Han Cheon-seong, my eyes soon turned elsewhere.
That’s on the other side of the audience. And rather than focusing on the numerous people in the stands, the space below them.
Among the human presence there, there was one that particularly bothered me.
“There are so many people in the stands. This is my first time watching a game in person… … cool. Oh, I guess Cadet Han Cheon-seong, who is now entering the stadium, has also checked on us.”
“I saw it too. “They were very surprised.”
While answering Adelia’s excited voice, a strange laugh escaped me at that moment.
‘What is it?’
Even if it is different from an ordinary human being, it is very different. Even if I didn’t know what kind of person he was, I could tell that right away.
Again.
But that thought lasted for a moment and I quickly turned my head away.
You will need to gradually find out why you are feeling this way. I’m here to watch Han Cheon-seong take the final today.
“Hoo… … .”
At the same time, when I caught sight of Han Tiansheng’s opponent in the finals, I was filled with admiration.
I thought Han Tiansheng would definitely win. In my eyes, that talent has already reached a completely different level.
“Celestia Yurisian… … . It is said that she is the eldest daughter of the Yurisian duchy. Just looking at her prayers, I think she is a truly outstanding cadet.”
At Adelia’s admiration, I too was filled with pure admiration.
Human talent is divided into two extremes depending on the individual. If we were to estimate the average of the races, there was no race in this world whose power could not be estimated as much as humans.
In that sense, the talent of the girl with blonde hair that I saw was not small at all.
‘Should I say it’s a huge bowl?’
Although we do not know what kind of power a person possesses specifically, the size of the power possessed by an individual is on a different level.
It seemed to me like a vessel so large that it could accommodate even the mighty power of the vessel.
Good!
ㅡThe long-awaited Grand Colosseum final… … ! Many people always join us and add excitement! Even more today! Some special people visited the Grand Colosseum to watch the finals!
When the person who seemed to be the host spoke loudly, I couldn’t help but snort.
It was looking at me so intently that I felt like I knew who it was talking about without even having to listen.
***
Surprise and even bigger surprises filled Celestia’s emotions one after another.
‘I can’t calm down.’
Excited.
Exciting!
My heart continued to beat abnormally.
At first, it was clearly because I saw Han Cheon-seong heading toward the stadium from the opposite side.
But after that, my gaze was suddenly struck by a powerful mana that seemed to be weighing down my entire body.
A strangely empty space among the crowded Coliseum stands. The two people there. No, to be exact, only one person stole my mind completely.
A being wearing pure white robes and fluttering silver hair that was extremely mysterious and different from Neria’s.
I knew who it was as soon as I saw her. Among the various knowledges she had to know as the eldest daughter of the dukedom, there was also countless knowledge about her.
Those who have reached the pinnacle of magic are called ‘magic tower lords’.
And in particular, I had heard countless stories about the magic tower lord of the central magic tower, and I had my own fantasies, so I had no choice but to know.
‘Ariya Schupelent… … .’
She, the owner of the central magic tower, is here to watch the game.
And I naturally knew who her gaze was directed at.
That’s because she and I had the same vision.
Sreuk.
I turned my head blankly and looked at Han Tiansheng, who had become so close before I knew it.
Surprise is written on his calm face.
That was something he knew too. Ariya Schupelent’s eyes were on him… … .
‘Are you saying he was such a great man that even the lord of the Magic Tower paid attention to him?’
Even as I was thinking about it, I inadvertently let out a laugh.
Good!
“The long-awaited Grand Colosseum final… … !”
Afterwards, the host spewed out various rhetoric in a loud voice, raising the weight and excitement of the finals, and I just watched.
As I listened with one ear and let it go with the other, my mind was already focused on Han Cheon-seong, who was facing me from a not far away distance.
It’s different again from yesterday.
The prayer seemed so different that Han Tiansheng thought that today was stronger than yesterday.
‘or not.’
Is it because I have Han Cheon-seong in front of me like this that I feel that way?
I don’t know either.
But whatever it was, my heart was beating even faster now.
“… … “We will continue to introduce the two players who will receive the greatest honor!”
When the host looked at me and finished his long speech, I naturally opened my lips.
“Celestia Yurisian. He belongs to the Northern Academy and possesses the legendary attribute Level 6 Dragon Blood.”
After speaking calmly, I looked forward to his introduction.
Now we are facing each other perfectly.
And that’s to the point where they didn’t take their eyes off each other even for a moment the moment they got on stage. This strange intersection of gazes strangely filled my heart with even greater heat.
“Han Tiansheng. He belongs to the Central Academy and possesses the common attribute level 7 spear skill.”
Concise voice.
However, a faint smile escaped me without my knowledge as I heard that voice that contained enormous power.
“Both for the greatest glory… … !”
As the host left the room with a loud shout, I naturally spoke.
“I never thought we would face each other in the finals, but I think it’s really amazing.”
“I feel the same way.”
Even though I nodded slowly in a calm tone, I didn’t feel bad.
Strangely enough, the sight of him not showing any emotional turmoil even though he was facing me and talking to me like this didn’t seem bad to me.
Right now, I am overwhelmed with such big emotions and my heart is as hot as boiling lava, but on the contrary, he acts so calmly. In fact, it looked better to me.
“Before we start the game in earnest, may I make a suggestion?”
So I was able to naturally say what I had in mind.
“If you’re saying it’s a suggestion… … ?”
Seeing him showing interest, I intentionally paused for a moment.
“… … .”
As I silently met his eyes, I became aware of my own reflection in his pitch-black pupils.
‘How will the words I speak next appear to him?’
Should you accept my offer or not? Even though I had no thoughts, my heart held even greater expectations.
“The proposal is simple. “If you defeat me and win, I will give you ‘Letartia’s Tears’ as a gift.”
I felt quite confident even as I continued speaking where I had stopped.
What an offer he could never refuse.
“… … !”
Even as I looked at him with his eyes wide open, a small smile escaped me.
“But if you lose, you will have to pay me a price equivalent to Letarcia’s tears. how is it?”
