Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 659



659. Grand Colosseum Finals – Looking at each other (3)

***

“But if you lose, you will have to pay me a price equivalent to Letarcia’s tears. how is it?”

Celestia continued speaking with a light smile. And her Han Tiansheng looking at her blankly.

At first glance, it seemed to the audience, who could not hear the conversation, that Cheonseong was momentarily entranced by her bright and beautiful smile.

I was instantly captivated by her beautiful smile.

But the reality was completely different.

“… … .”

Although Cheonseong was staring blankly, he was actually thinking quickly in his head.

‘Letharsia’s tears.’

And in other words, it was the siren’s tears.

Sirens, along with high elves, are one of the ancient races that are rarely seen anymore.

However, the reason it is called Letharsia’s tears rather than Siren’s tears is because one case is so famous that it is written about in several books.

In addition, there was an episode in the story where Leonhard related to Letharcia’s tears, so I couldn’t help but know even more.

The origin is that a siren named Letarcia received help from a human, and when the man who tried to protect her died, the tears she shed were Letarcia’s tears.

The effect of those tears is a permanent increase in ability levels.

Although it varies from person to person, its value is indescribable as everyone who has drunk Siren’s tears is known to have experienced great effects.

‘Why are you offering me this?’

And more than anything, I don’t know Celestia’s intentions.

Now that I want to become stronger, Letarcia’s tears were a great thing to have. But even if you win against me, you expect a commensurate reward.

Even though the price he was giving me was so high, the price he actually wanted from me felt very abstract.

“… … “I accept it.”

But whatever it was, I didn’t feel like saying no.

If you could have it, you had to have it. Even more so if it is a treasure that permanently increases your abilities.

“I like your answer. And I don’t want to focus on just winning and winning this final. “I think playing with you means a lot to me.”

“I would be grateful if you think highly of me.”

“I’m not suggesting that I think highly of you or anything like that. “I am making this offer because you alone are worth Letarcia’s tears.”

The more I saw Celestia smiling casually, the more I felt strange.

Certainly, in my memory, I don’t remember having a deep conversation with her or meeting her separately. Rather, it was safe to say that they knew each other through passing encounters or watching each other play.

however… … .

‘Why are you acting so strangely?’

It seemed to me as if she had personal feelings for me.

Considering how we met or talked, it could never have been that way, but it strangely felt that way to me.

Sreuk.

I slowly took out the spear and looked into her eyes.

If you don’t have anything more to say, let’s start the game now. As if she recognized the meaning in my eyes, she naturally began to change her appearance.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!

For the first time, a huge surge of energy signaled the beginning.

Chop rock!

As the two huge wings spread out and took on a vivid blood color, my body instantly reacted.

Even though strength is exerted throughout the body, there is great tension as if the muscles are contracting.

‘Dragonborn… … .’

From noble mtl dot come

I knew because I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. When Celestia fully reveals her power, her appearance changes like this.

“… … .”

As red scales sprouted one by one on her face, and even her soft eyes turned into vertically slit blood-red pupils, I felt a great sense of intimidation.

‘different.’

It was noticeably different from watching the game from the stands.

Now, I can directly feel how Neria felt when she stood up to Celestia at the stadium yesterday.

A feeling of pressure as if something powerful was pressing down on my entire body. Even though there was nothing materially present, my body felt that way and seemed to shrink on its own.

Therefore, I also had to demonstrate my proper power.

Sreuk!

When I lightly applied pressure to the hand holding the spear, my vision immediately turned golden.

All the changes were visible through the gorgeously swirling flow of golden mana. A window stained with gold, a view that seemed to be covered with a golden film, and a transcendental sensation that swept through the entire body.

ㅡ!

As her sharp, long nails caught the sunlight and sparkled with anticipation, I took a deep breath and gathered myself.

“You have to come prepared to kill me.”

Then I spoke coldly.

I had to win, whether it was in my favor or not. To do that, I will do my best. But if she doesn’t treat me with the determination to kill me, the blade of my spear will also become dull.

“Don’t worry about that. “I don’t think I’m above you.”

After her calm answer, I literally kicked the ground.

I focused my consciousness even as I flew into the air.

‘First meal.’

There was no need for a series of preparatory positions to develop the skill.

And as if to prove it, the window, which was dyed gold according to my consciousness, immediately contained a storm of golden light.

Saaa… … !

Even as I watched the atmosphere being greatly distorted by the storm-like wind that wrapped around the blade of the spear, I swung the hand holding the spear as if to shoot it.

ㅡ!

The spear, which was launched like a single point, jumped through space at once.

The aftereffects of the storm violently swept across Chang’s path, and, of course, there was only one goal at the end.

Celestia.

Celestia was standing in her place with a completely different feeling from Azazel who had confronted her yesterday. When I saw her focusing her attention on my spear.

My window had already been reached.

Sigh… … !

The result was visible to me with a sound as if the air was being torn apart.

‘I blocked it.’

She raised both hands and blocked them by crossing them with her long fingernails. She did, but it didn’t look like she was able to stop it easily.

It didn’t look like it was going to be easy for Celestia, who actually slipped on the ground and was pushed back five or six steps.

Ok.

As I slowly got down to the ground, I slowly held my hand as if grasping the air.

ㅡ!

That was when a golden wave burst out intensely in the empty air and I retrieved the spear that had jumped through space with my own hands.

Chop rock!

Two huge wings suddenly unfolded.

The moment the blood-red wings drew enough shadow to cover the new form that was several times her size, Celestia was seen gently lowering her waist.

‘… … .’

It was just one thing.

attack.

It wasn’t blocking. When I became aware of that, my hands tensed without me realizing it.

‘It’ll be fun.’

I was purely excited.

This final stage was no longer a test for me. In addition, the country was not a place to prove the value of its existence.

A game that is just one step away from winning.

Even though the meaning was very great, it was different. The sense of duty I felt yesterday while confronting Azazel was not the enormous weight of having to twist fate placed on my shoulders.

That was different.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!

The moment the two huge wings moved at an invisible speed, I was able to swing the spear without any pressure.

Celestia approached me with an instantaneous explosion of acceleration.

Even though her sharp hands were trying to tear my body apart, there was no delusion in my heart.

Chaechaechaechaeng… … !

An endless series of encounters followed, with the spear blade cutting into the space dozens of times.

When sharp nails that seem to cut the space indiscriminately embroider the space, they respond as if they are joining together.

And the countless sums reaching tens and hundreds seemed oddly unrealistic to me.

The attack was by no means light.

However, it wasn’t heavy at all.

ㅡ! ㅡㅡ! ㅡㅡㅡ!!

Even though I felt the pressure of force coming from repeated contact with the hand holding the spear and then disappearing, my heart did not waver in the slightest.

Chaeng… … !

In the midst of a huge, unbelievable roar that was the sound of nails and spear blades colliding, I could occasionally see Celestia’s face, so close that their breaths were touching.

Even when she changed her appearance using the Dragonborn, she was beautiful.

Rather than feeling strange, as if her original beauty had undergone a special change, it looked extremely natural. So I could see.

Whoosh!

Even as I narrowly avoided the claws tearing the air, her face caught my eye.

‘I’m smiling.’

Celestia was smiling.

As if this moment was enjoyable. And I thought I would be no different from her.

***

‘amazing.’

This was the biggest emotion Adelia felt while watching the game.

Grand Colosseum. The most glorious competition in which only the top cadets, including the top cadets, from each academy can participate. I thought the level would be different as it featured the most outstanding cadets, but it far exceeded my expectations.

Even now, the sight of the two people moving around the stadium as if jumping through space and then reappearing and colliding with each other was the height of splendor in itself.

The mana that surged or exploded like a storm beautifully decorated the air, and the sight of the two cadets in the midst of it was indescribable.

Both Celestia, who showed a huge change with the power of dragon blood, and Cadet Han Cheon-seong, who used the opening with a brilliant golden light, were both mysterious.

“really… … “Both of them are amazing.”

Even as I expressed my admiration in a daze, a small laugh escaped me.

Originally, I came to see Cadet Han Cheon-seong. I somehow made time to watch him play and congratulate him on his win.

But now, my eyes just went to both of them.

I now felt like I completely understood why Carly had said at the last drinking party that she couldn’t guarantee victory.

‘How can the level be like this?’

It was surprising to me that there was a strong person who could compete with Cadet Han Cheon-seong, and that such a strong person existed among the cadets.

And it was visible throughout the process.

“I don’t understand.”

“yes?”

“I just don’t understand. “Why did you say you would give Letarcia’s tears?”

Unlike me, who was looking at the two people in admiration for the game, Ariya seemed to think something was strange.

“If Cadet Celestia wins, isn’t she hoping for something similar from Cadet Han Cheon-seong?”

“So, it’s even weirder. “I don’t think Han Tiansheng can lose.”

The words were so explicit that a bitter smile escaped me without my knowledge.

“… … “That’s right.”

The game unfolding right now is clearly fierce.

Chaechaechaechaeng… … !

Chaeng… !

As if they were fighting each other like a fierce hand-to-hand combat, they each exerted great strength and faced each other even more. In addition, both of the players seemed to be enjoying the game while being sincere to each other, to the point where they smiled subconsciously.

however. It seemed like the results were slowly coming to fruition.

Who is winning and who has the upper hand.

“Cadet Celestia probably knows that it will be difficult for her to win… … “I guess that’s what I wanted to bet on.”

As I spoke, I was vaguely thinking.

Nevertheless, I bet because I thought that what I would demand from Cadet Han Cheon-seong if I won was worth the price.

‘What on earth are you asking for…? … .’

Did he offer such a treasure?

For a moment, I tilted my head and was puzzled.

A treasure suggested by Cadet Celestia.

‘Letharsia’s tears.’

Anyone who has reached a certain level can say that it is a treasure that everyone wants.

A treasure whose ability level increases permanently when its growth is delayed or reaches a point where it cannot rise further cannot be converted into value.

This is a treasure that she can readily talk about because she is the eldest daughter of a duke’s family. However, the intention was to give it to Cadet Han Cheon-seong.

“no way… … .”

I muttered absentmindedly before looking at Cadet Celestia again.

That can’t be possible.

Even though I denied the answer that came to mind without realizing it, it felt so unrealistic.

However, if you think about it simply, there was only one answer.

‘Do you have feelings for Cadet Han Cheon-seong?’

Even though it was an absurd idea, there was no other answer.

Rumors had already spread a lot about his relationships with women, and considering that he was a commoner, the duke’s eldest daughter couldn’t have done that.

“It’s quite an amazing power.”

Then, I was suddenly brought back to reality by Ariya’s voice.

As if the fierce battle between them was a lie, the distance between them widened.

Both of them are trying to manifest greater power… … .
