Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 725
725. [Western Front] – News of new recruits from a special platoon
***
“… … “Azazel.”
“I heard you were going to the front. “I thought you would come visit me before then, but I never thought you would just leave like this.”
Tuk.
I was shocked when I saw Azazel slowly approaching me.
When I thought about it, I couldn’t think about Azazel at all.
I shouldn’t have done that, but even though I should have thought about it more, I couldn’t think of it because I was weighed down by the weight of the wire.
“sorry. I… … “I guess I was out of my mind.”
“There is no need to apologize to me, I just came because I had something to say to you before you go to the front line.”
“What do you want to say to me?”
Azazel suddenly brushed off his black hair and looked at me strangely. She then smiled a smile that gave the viewer a very strange feeling.
“… .”
At that moment, I took a deep breath.
Even though it was just such a beautiful smile, my heart felt like it was sinking when I saw her.
My fingertips twitched, and my heart felt like it was shrinking under a strange pressure.
‘That can’t be possible.’
Even though I thought there was no way Azazel could threaten me now, I had to realize that my body became stiff for a moment. Even though she’s just smiling… … .
“Try to engrave this sensation you just felt into your body.”
And when he spoke as if he could see through my emotions, I blinked blankly for a moment.
“… … “This feeling?”
“Yes, the sense I gave you just now. “I would have to say it was a feeling of intimidation, a sense of threat, and an instinctive sense of crisis.”
“What does it mean?”
Even though I was talking, I couldn’t understand it. Why is Azazel acting like this to me?
“There is no particular reason. “For some reason, I feel like you will die if you go to the front line.”
Tuk.
Azazel’s words seemed to pierce my heart again.
It sounded cold and transparent. Therefore, he knew that there was no malice in those words.
Azazel actually seemed to be telling me the truth.
As if it were a foregone conclusion that I would die if I went to the front like this… … .
Gulp.
Even as I swallowed, my mouth felt dry.
“Just a little more… … “Can you elaborate?”
If she, one of the nine apostles, had to say this, it must have meant something.
“I have nothing to hide. Because there will definitely be an apostle targeting you. “If it’s a front other than the Academy, I think they’ll definitely be targeting you. That’s my intuition.”
“Intuition.”
“And the sense I just gave you might be of great help to you.”
As Azazel let out a strange smile again, I vaguely understood.
‘This is…’ … It’s like a signal that only Azazel sends to me.’
What kind of presence does the nine apostles give?
She imprinted it on me with her own energy. Now she had no choice but to realize.
“Thank you so much, Azazel.”
“I don’t think life will be any fun if you die.”
Azazel said something strange again and turned around without hesitation, and I had to watch her walking away.
Again.
The back of her, the nine apostles, fully human, with black hair shaking as she walks.
‘There is a possibility.’
And I was confident again.
I now felt more clearly aware of the possibility of appeasing Azazel, of having her exist as a human rather than an apostle, and of having her protect humans in the future.
“… … “It’s really strange.”
Then, I stopped when I heard a voice right next to me.
“Ah, Lord Isabelle.”
There she was, shedding the golden curtain.
“What on earth is that cadet, Azazel?”
I just smiled awkwardly as I looked at her with her face completely frozen.
“… … “He is one of the strongest in my opinion.”
I couldn’t bear to reveal that she was one of the nine apostles.
At the same time, I thought that no one here yet knew the true nature of Azazel’s power.
“You mean the strongest one? Of course, I have heard that he is a cadet with unprecedented talent, but… … . “It’s very heterogeneous.”
“I agree with the statement that it is heterogeneous. But I think he is a trustworthy person. “I trust Azazel.”
There was no way to explain Azazel to anyone.
I just had to believe it.
That she is not an apostle, but a being who will stand on the side of humans.
That was the moment I looked at Sir Isabelle while thinking that.
“Are you by any chance another lover?”
As I narrowed my eyes, I couldn’t help but laugh at her words.
“It’s not at all what you think. And let me tell you about my relationship with Azazel… … friend? Yes, I guess you could say we are friends.”
When I received the still untrustworthy gaze from Sir Isabel, my conscience pricked me for no reason.
It is true that I took on another lover while Sir Isabelle was away.
‘As for Celestia… … ‘When should I speak up?’
Maybe I can tell her that when I go upstate or when she comes to see me. I felt like if I said it now, it would just confuse me.
“Let’s go. “I really wanted to ride the magic engineering train at least once.”
“yes.”

-There are four fronts surrounding the entire empire: north, south, east, and west. And the name ‘First Fortress’ is given to the largest front fortress among them.
And although the 1st Fortress was the most honorable front of the four fronts, the 1st Fortress was also the place that was most avoided by newly appointed officers and soldiers enlisting at the front.
From noble mtl dot com
This was simply because it was the most dangerous and was also very close to the risk of death.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the first fortress was actually the worst, as the death rate of first-time officers and soldiers was overwhelmingly high.
And now.
On the Western Front, there was a strange atmosphere in the First Fortress.
… … .
The time passed through the morning and slowly approached lunch.
In a restaurant in the First Fortress, a ‘special platoon’ was having a late meal.
“Hey, that’s right. Come to think of it, I said it was today, right?”
A sharp-looking woman with short red hair suddenly spoke, and a man with short blonde hair who was eating across from him answered while he was eating.
“Lieutenant Leria, what are you talking about?”
“No, you b*stard. I told you that new recruits would arrive today. There’s a kid who’s being rumored right now. The name is… What was it? That Hanchansaeng? Heoncheon book? Anyway, a kid with a strange name.”
“Ah, if you are Han Tiansheng, today is the right day. Aren’t you the worst unlucky person to have been sent to the front line even though you were a cadet?”
“… … “He’s from our platoon?”
“… … yes?”
“He’s in our platoon. I heard it yesterday as if I was suddenly notified. We’re in charge of him… … .”
When the woman called Leria spoke as if she felt bad about something, the man who had been answering all along looked dumbfounded.
Tuk. Ok.
And some of the platoon members who were eating next to them stopped eating for a moment and looked blankly at Lieutenant Leria.
“Is that true?”
“No, how can you join our platoon? “Shouldn’t that be the case?”
“… … Oh, I agree! I heard he’s really handsome, right? “Fuck, we’re only looking at guys like McPhill who are so fucking stupid. We should have at least one good-looking guy in our platoon.”
Different voices rang out simultaneously, and the man who answered Leria first looked tearful.
“It is a great hurt to those who hear it… … .”
“ha. it’s okay. I don’t know if he’s handsome or not, and it’s really annoying. Why are we accepting new soldiers at this time? “There are more than one or two things to worry about right now.”
As Leria yawned loudly and got irritated, McPhill suddenly twitched his lips.
-A new soldier joins the platoon.
That meant that he would soon become his successor.
‘Is it really how soon a successor will come in?’
McPhill was cheering inwardly.
I spent nearly a year as the youngest member of this damn platoon. At first, I had very high expectations because there were rumors that it was a platoon of beautiful women. In reality, it was a collection of trash disguised as pretty women.
They didn’t even treat me like a human being, and instead, they were doing all kinds of bad things, like being the first point of the platoon. I don’t know who Han Cheon-seong is, but if he comes in as his successor, he will definitely serve in the military.
“Ah, McPhill. Han Cheon-seong is coming today, I will take charge of him.”
Then, at the sound of a woman’s voice, McPhill lifted his head in a daze.
“Ensign Roxanna, are you serious?”
When a new recruit came in, of course, as the current youngest member, he had to take care of it. That’s the basics, and she said she’d do it for me.
“uh. “I’ll do it, McPhill, so you can get some rest.”
MacPhill felt a strange feeling as he looked at the woman with purple hair smiling brightly.
‘You didn’t take good care of me.’
It seems like only yesterday that you were treating me like some kind of baggage and getting irritated by me and asking why there was a man in my platoon, but now you’re telling me that you’re going to take care of a new man.
McPheelo couldn’t understand Roxanna. But he actually had no reason to refuse again.
“Thank you! “Ensign Roxanna.”
The moment McPhill responded, changes appeared elsewhere.
“Ha, look at this b*tch Roxanna. “Are you going to put saliva on the new soldier already?”
“I heard that a really handsome man is coming, look at his eyes already rolling.”
“hey. If you guys are dissatisfied, take care of McPhill when he comes in! “What the hell are these b*tches who don’t even take care of you?”
It was the other platoon members who tried to stop Roxanna.
McPhill, who was eating and listening to the conversation, soon realized something.
“… … .”
The atmosphere is quite different from when he arrived as a new soldier.
‘No, I know I’m ugly, but… … .’
Still, is this temperature difference right now?
McPheelo couldn’t tell.
