Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 666



666. Anastasia Brilliant

***

The morning sunlight brightly illuminates the interior.

And it awakened nature like a natural signal.

Slurp.

I open my eyes in a daze and slowly look inside. As soon as the interior of the familiar inn came into view, I couldn’t help but smile.

“under… … .”

Even though I was laughing for no reason, it didn’t feel real. Everything that happened yesterday felt like a fleeting dream.

Grand Colosseum victory. Afterwards, I was congratulated by countless people, and at the dinner celebrating my victory, I literally let go of my heart and enjoyed the pleasure of the moment.

All my worries and worries disappeared, and I just enjoyed the joy of reality without even thinking about the future for a moment.

I am grateful for this reality given to me… … . That was how I spent the day.

Ok.

I absent-mindedly moved my hand to a nearby table and carefully picked up the jewelry box.

The red-colored jewelry box itself was extremely sophisticated. And I was able to confirm with my own eyes again what I had confirmed several times yesterday.

Click.

I could soon see the joints of the jewelry box coming undone as I heard them.

“It’s really pretty.”

As soon as I saw it, I had the same impression.

The ruby ​​ring in the center of the jewelry box shined more brilliantly in the light as if it had been crafted by a craftsman without any flaws, and the effect of the ring could be said to be even more brilliant.

Tiring!

Crimson Luna.

Class: Magic engineering item.

Item Description: A mysterious ring that completely captures the energy of the incredibly red moon on a strange day when the moon dyed bright red decorated the sky.

Item Effect: A ring containing the magical energy of the red moon places a certain load on the wearer’s mental power. However, if you have the mental strength to overcome your subordinates, you will be able to exert even greater power.

*Depending on the user’s strong willpower, all abilities receive additional correction ‘up to 30’. However, if ‘Strong Will’ is not displayed, all abilities decrease by 5.

Detailed information about Crimson Luna that appears in the field of view.

I’ve checked that several times, but if you think about the options in detail, in one word… … .

“It’s a scam.”

It was just a scam. Other than that, there was no need to say anything else.

Of course, there are certain conditions attached to the option, but the effect was so overwhelming that you could clearly see why magic engineering items exist as magic engineering items.

Increase in all abilities. It was safe to say that an increase within a large range of 30 was actually an overwhelming effect.

Because it will intuitively yet overwhelmingly give me greater strength.

“Good.”

I caressed Ruby once for no reason and burst into laughter.

This was a semi-permanent gift given to me, and the more I realized this reality, the more joy seemed to fill me.

It seemed okay to wear it on a regular basis, even if it meant accepting the condition that its abilities would decrease.

And from today onwards, I planned to wear this ring.

While wondering where to wear the ring, I naturally went to the index finger of my right hand. I thought the index finger was a good place to wear it all the time without attaching much significance to it.

Sreuk.

That was the moment I put the ring on.

“… … !”

My eyes widened, but I unconsciously clenched my right hand.

Suddenly, a strange and unnatural feeling arose throughout my body, as if there were sandbags stuck to it.

“Than you think… … “The conditions are not light.”

The feeling of all abilities decreasing by 5 felt much greater.

But even as I endured that, I soon caught my breath.

From now on, I had to get used to this situation. In order for me to demonstrate greater power at more important moments, I had to endure enough of this arrangement.

Even as I slowly raised my body, my body felt comfortable.

The Grand Colosseum was over, but it wasn’t my normal day yet.

All other cadets have returned to the academy and are receiving lectures, but only those who advance to the top four of the Colosseum are given an additional rest period.

Even if it was until tomorrow, it was consideration in its own way.

That’s why I’m still staying at this luxury inn.

“You should rest well for the rest of the day.”

And I planned to relax during that period.

I let go of all the burden and responsibility I had on my mind… … , I was planning to do whatever my heart wanted and return to the academy.

Still, I burst into laughter.

‘I guess it’s not like I’m taking a complete break.’

Right now, Azazel will be resting more with me in this inn, so we will act together. And I was planning on using her time until tomorrow to placate her as little as possible.

Crash.

***

Meanwhile, on the Western Front.

The endless waves of monsters came to a brief lull. This period, when the waves of monsters stopped pouring in at regular intervals, could be said to be a sweet rest for the numerous officers and soldiers supporting the front lines.

And in the inner room on the upper floor of the castle, a woman was resting blankly.

“… … .”

A space filled with complete silence, the woman lying down on the bed was staring blankly at the ceiling, as if enjoying the silence.

Long blue hair was scattered around, and a bitterly cold face appeared indifferently between them.

Even though she was lying down defenseless, it seemed as if there was a bitter coldness in the space around her.

ㅡAnastasia Brilliant.

She was a mainstay of the Western Front, and had achieved an unprecedented rise in status from commoner to noble by being granted the high title of Marquis just a few days ago.

“What are you doing right now?”

While I was staring blankly at the ceiling, I suddenly started thinking about my younger brother.

Glesia.

I vaguely heard various news.

Participating in the Grand Colosseum. However, she had to feel great disappointment upon hearing that she was eliminated in the round of 16.

“I never thought I’d meet Neria.”

Glesia’s elimination was completely understandable.

About two months ago now. I also remembered Neria visiting the Western Front.

She possessed the mysterious power of Binggyeong, a legendary trait, and in addition to that, looking at her personality and talents, she was by no means inferior to Glesia.

Even though my younger brother was more precious than anyone else in this world, I couldn’t ignore reality.

“want see.”

I mumbled absentmindedly and let out a light breath.

Now that I was finally able to take a breather, deep fatigue had accumulated throughout my body.

And it was well worth it.

Nearly two weeks of hard work.

We succeeded in subduing all the endless monsters that appeared as if they were spewing out over a long period of time.

During that period, I did not leave the battlefield for a single day. And since my body was so tired now that I had just finally had a break, my mind felt a little weak.

Slurp.

Slowly, I completely relaxed my body, and as I gently relaxed my body, I let go of my mind even more.

In this condition, 4 hours would be enough to completely recover the body from overuse.

As I lightly grasped the situation, my thoughts continued again.

“Han Tiansheng… … .”

Due to the break, another being entered my mind, which was filled with thoughts about Glesia.

This was a cadet whom I met Glesia a few months ago during my barely-used vacation.

Looking at Glesia who had changed so much, the memory of me even asking her to do it for me came back to me.

and… … Now several months have passed since then.

“I mean, I won.”

Even as I narrowed my eyes, my mind felt extremely strange.

It was growth beyond imagination.

At that time, when I briefly grasped Han Cheon-seong’s level, I thought he had great talent. However, that didn’t give me any more appreciation.

Just because he had a close relationship or contact with Glesia, the importance of keeping an eye on him was much greater.

And the basis for such evaluations all comes from the level of characteristics.

“Common spearmanship.”

As an additional power, there is no power belonging to the elemental or supernatural series. It was clear that he had great will to grow even under such adverse conditions.

At that time, I also saw it better.

“Because I thought he was a rare decent man.”

From what I saw with my own eyes, I felt that she had enough character and will that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to entrust her with Glesia.

But that wasn’t the only reality.

The more I thought about the contents of the Grand Colosseum, the more I felt puzzled and strange.

“Even Neria fell in the semifinals… … .”

From what I could see, I originally thought that Neria had great talent and strength to the point where she should have won. Considering Bingyeong’s power and Neria’s qualities, it was clear that he would have achieved greater growth during Colosseum.

However, I lost in the semifinals, and I heard that cadets Han Cheon-seong and Celestia made the finals.

Grumbling.

While I was absent-mindedly tidying up my disheveled hair, my mind felt strange.

I guess the Grand Colosseum I experienced and the Grand Colosseum held this year felt quite different in quality.

“It doesn’t seem like that much time has passed.”

Could the level be this much different?

Looking back, I definitely won the Grand Colosseum quite easily. To be honest, it was such a disappointing tournament that I won even the final without showing my full potential.

At that time, there wasn’t a single cadet who could be considered to be on the same level as me. In addition, I clearly realized at that time that there was a difference in the level of legendary characteristics.

But what about this year?

“Only four legendary characteristics.”

Just because of that fact alone, the level of the Grand Colosseum had risen dramatically. It was strange that there were many cadets who had even reached attribute level 6.

Now that I am continuing to fully recover with my eyes losing focus, my curiosity has only grown.

“How on earth did you win?”

Using the common attribute Spear Skills, he defeated four cadets, a legendary attribute.

It was something I couldn’t understand no matter how I used common sense.

However, I heard that not only can he use the skill, but he can also completely handle ‘opening’.

It also deals with the very special power of openness.

“If all those rumors are true… … “It certainly wouldn’t have been impossible to win.”

I couldn’t help but feel strange.

When the junior officer who gave me the news smiled and said that the rumor was probably exaggerated, I agreed to a certain extent.

Because not all of that can be true.

But I also thought about something.

‘There’s no way the only reason Glesia gave up her distance so easily was love.’

My younger brother, whom I love the most in the world. But she also felt how Glesia had looked at me in the past.

He was a child who always looked at me and had goals for me.

Even when I was reaching the top with rapid growth compared to others, Glesia’s eyes lit up when she looked at me.

As if I yearned for it.

“… … “I’m curious.”

Even as I muttered absentmindedly, strange thoughts continued to cross my mind.

There was still distrust. However, I also felt tempted by some of the evidence and incomprehensible growth.

Assuming that Han Tiansheng really completed it all and that all the rumors were true.

Sreuk.

Even as I absentmindedly brushed my hair, a smile escaped me.

“It means you are the same as me back then… … .”

In that case, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Han Tiansheng’s level of talent surpasses mine.

Even if we assume that he was on the same level as me at the time, Han Cheon-seong’s characteristics were, above all, common grade.

Then I had to say that being able to complete all that with common traits and realize it on your own is something that goes beyond talent.

“That can’t be possible.”

I shook my head without realizing it.

Naturally, I came to deny my thoughts. My senses, having met all the other key figures in the past imperial castle, were telling me.

-It’s impossible.

Because my power now clearly surpasses even the other main axes. If, by chance, Han Tiansheng had achieved the same strength as me at that time… … .

That characteristic could never be ‘common’.
