Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 731
731. [Western Front] – You choose (7)
***
The early hours have just entered dawn.
On the first day at the front, Cheonseong, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
“ah… … .”
Cheonseong blinked blankly and did not understand. He didn’t know why he woke up and why he felt so alert.
As I slowly looked around, it became clear that it was too early in the morning to wake up even with the faint sunlight entering the room.
dripping.
And at the sound of a knock on the door, Cheonseong suddenly understood why he had woken up.
‘What is this… … .’
Is it an absurd existence?
Even though I could feel it with my body, it was difficult to understand.
“I’m awake.”
I swallowed my saliva and quickly pulled myself together.
The moment I raised my upper body and straightened up, the door opened.
“what. “I didn’t know you were up.”
A woman’s figure appeared between the cold voices.
A woman who must be said to be extremely beautiful, even though she has short red hair that goes down to her shoulders and a straight, vertically torn scar around her right eye.
However, Cheonseong quickly checked the red wing emblem on the shoulder of the officer’s uniform.
‘Right profit.’
As soon as I realized we were in the same platoon, I knew who she was.
“Are you Lieutenant Leria?”
“Do you know me?”
Seeing the woman answer yes, I tensed even more.
“no. “I thought it was Lieutenant Leria because of the red wing crest, the characteristic red bob, and the enormous presence that can still be felt on the outside.”
“If you look at his face, he looks like he just woke up, but I judged that in the meantime… … ? “Well, you seem to have quite a sharp eye.”
Tuk.
When Lieutenant Leria naturally sat down on my bed after answering that question, I began to wince without realizing it.
‘How can there be such energy?’
It seemed as if a huge red aura was surrounding her whole body and shaking violently.
It wasn’t what it seemed on the outside, but there was something so overwhelming that my body felt that way. I was surprised when I saw the other members of the enemy platoon, but Lieutenant Leria, who was in front of me now, had a completely different personality.
“… … .”
“… … .”
And between the exchanges of glances, I couldn’t get my words out.
I was told that I was out on a mission and would return at dawn or morning. Still, I didn’t know why he came to see me so early in the morning.
‘You can face me in the morning… … .’
I tried to find calm amidst my complicated thoughts.
“Your name is Han Tiansheng, right?”
“yes. you’re right.”
“It’s a special name. So it might be easy to memorize, but anyway, hold out your hand.”
Cheonseong held out his hand without saying a word.
Suddenly.
And Leria held the outstretched hand firmly. She immediately used her mana lightly, keeping her eyes on Cheonseong’s face.
ㅡ!
Red mana, completely different from normal mana, immediately enveloped her new form.
“Ugh… .”
And Cheonseong had to feel a little pain at the foreignness of that red mana.
“Hold on a moment.”
“yes.”
The short-tempered nature bit his lip and suppressed the pain.
‘Let’s get our minds straight.’
This moment was my first encounter with Lieutenant Leria, and it was the most important moment that would determine my first impression.
Then, it was clear that if I showed myself weak and clumsy, that would be confirmed. So we had to do it right from now on.
Creeping… … .
As the blooming red mana expanded to encroach on Cheonseong’s body through the joined hands, Cheonseong seemed to become dizzy.
The pain was gradually increasing, and there was no sign of when it would stop.
And just before Cheonseong was about to groan in pain again.
Tuk.
Leria let go of the hand she was holding and collected the mana.
“… … under.”
And then I laughed and looked at Cheonseong.
“ha… . ha… … .”
Even though he was sweating coldly and breathing heavily due to being eroded by Leria’s red mana, the feeling of Cheonseong that Leria saw was completely different.
‘How can this be?’
A cadet who advanced to a special class within the academy. In other words, even if he is the best talent who graduated from the academy as a valedictorian or second valedictorian, he cannot be the same as Han Cheon-seong now.
From noble mtl dot com
That was the impression I came to after taking a deep look at Han Cheon-seong.
Not only was the body completed, but the vast amount of mana potential inside was ridiculous. Additionally, what is a pure body that cannot find any impure energy even if one tries to find it?
Even just one of them would make no sense.
This young chick named Han Cheon-seong, who is in front of me right now, even has everything.
“Attribute level 7, right?”
“yes. you’re right.”
Even the way he endured pain and answered calmly seemed unusual.
Even if I moaned due to my mana, it would have caused enough pain for me to understand, and I even had the patience to endure everything except the moment I first held my hand.
“Are you human?”
“… … yes?”
“Are you really human? “It’s been over 6 years since I’ve been on the front line, but I’ve never seen someone as abnormal as you.”
“I am… … I think it’s a bit of a special case. I faced the apostle several times and went through a crisis… … “There were many other things that happened.”
“Yes, I also looked through the information about you and realized that you never lived a normal life. Still, I just find it ridiculous. “Just ignore what I said earlier.”
“All right.”
Even as I watched him answer politely, I kept bursting into laughter.
‘You’re crazy.’
He was truly a crazy talent.
This is what I felt while looking at Major Anastasia over the past few years, but I could definitely say that I would never see a genius like her again.
No, in my eyes, a genius with mediocre talent is no different from a stone walking around on the street.
But now an almost crazy genius like her was before my eyes.
A monster who has grown so ridiculously that I wonder if Major Anastasia would have been like that at that age.
“So that’s why you said that.”
In just this short time, I understood to some extent why Major Anastasia was interested.
If I saw a genius of this level, I had no choice but to give him intensive attention and treat him better.
This is not simply a matter for the enemy platoon to think about, but something that must be protected for the empire.
“hey. “Breathe a little easier.”
Then, looking at the guy whose face was completely frozen, a laugh escaped me.
“yes. All right.”
I wondered why he was so rigid and couldn’t face me properly, but the reason was different from what I thought.
‘It’s not an emotion like fear.’
It was just something I knew.
This guy was feeling the depth of my energy right now, so he stiffened his body like that and was looking at me cautiously.
Regardless of the fact that I am the platoon leader of an enemy platoon, I instinctively felt strong, which is why I am so nervous.
“ha… … I wondered why I had to pack so much luggage at this time, but that wasn’t the case. “This is just as shocking.”
Even as I spoke, I laid down on the bed.
Coming back, I felt another huge mental shock through my exhausted body, so I just wanted to lie down for a bit.
I flinch.
“Lieutenant Leria. “I will never be a burden to you.”
Then, I inadvertently turned my head when I heard a bold voice.
As I looked at him while lying on the bed, I saw a guy with strong eyes as if he had strengthened his will.
I’m a young chick, I don’t think I even have a proper concept in my head yet, but his eyes seemed quite rigid.
‘That’s strange.’
How could he have such a perfect body, such a vast amount of mana, and such an absurd talent that his attribute level was 7?
But is it still possible to look like that?
Even McPhill, who had been in the enemy camp for a year, could have looked like that after experiencing the danger of death several times.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly became curious.
“… That’s okay, let me just ask one thing. “What kind of life have you been living?”
As he was going to be a member of the platoon, he received quite a bit of relevant information. But what I paid attention to was not past history.
Just current accomplishments. How much power does it have?
Because profit should not become a burden.
But, leaving my thoughts aside, I now have to ask about the past of this young chick named Han Cheon-seong.
“… … Lieutenant Leria may find it a bit funny to hear this, but I don’t think my life has been easy.”
“Yeah, it wasn’t easy. Is that so… … . “What happened?”
As I was talking, I was about to ask more, but I just stopped.
Even though I am fully aware of my strength, I would go so far as to say that my life is not easy. What good would it be to bring it up?
“I don’t need to tell you more?”
“uh.”
I answered concisely but yawned loudly.
Grumbling.
The corners of my eyes were frowning as I roughly brushed my hair.
‘What should I do with this?’
The original idea was to take the young chick on a mission and just have him look around.
What kind of platoon is the enemy wing, and would they send freshly enlisted young chicks into combat?
I thought that just having them watch us carry out our mission would be meaningful and enlightening.
“hey. “Han Cheon-seong.”
“yes. “Lieutenant Leria.”
“You choose.”
“… … yes?”
I smiled and slowly made eye contact with the guy.
Between the black hair, the pitch-black eyes are staring at me transparently. And looking into those eyes, I thought it was okay to let him choose for himself.
“We will take you out on missions. But I never had any intention of putting you into combat. But seeing you like this makes me change my mind. Would you like to be active at least a little? Or do you just want to stay safe and be together? It doesn’t matter to me what you choose, there won’t be a single one in our platoon who will blame you or curse at you.”
Even as I continued speaking calmly, I was curious.
I’ve already had a quick chat with my platoon member, and even if we just watch, we won’t say anything.
Rather, because it is ‘natural’.
So what choice will Han Cheon-seong make? The moment I thought I would be in big trouble… … .
“I will do my best.”
“… … hey. “Are you not even worried?”
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing for a moment.
I truly intended to respect whatever choice was made. Just a few days ago, I was an academy cadet. How could I endure the harshness of the front line? The difficulty of performing missions for the enemy wing, a special platoon, was definitely the highest among many units.
“I had a lot of worries on the way to the Western Front.”
“You crazy b*stard.”
“… … “I will take this as a compliment.”
This guy who responded to my words with a smile was truly unusual.
“I’m not complimenting you, you b*stard. Ha, really you… … Okay, that’s enough. You said you would be active, right? “This is your choice.”
“yes. “It was my choice.”
Seeing that he was still answering without hesitation, I once again caught his eye on his face.
‘A really crazy person came in.’
At this moment, I was convinced that a crazy person whom I would never see again during my career as an officer had come into the enemy’s wing.
“First, tell me everything you have. “As a platoon leader, I have to properly understand the strength of my platoon members.”
And I thought it would be better to start the evaluation right away without having to waste any time.
Anyway, looking at what this kid is doing now, he was a kid who would do anything I told him to do. Then, it was clear that I had to push hard from the beginning to realize the reality.
“yes. “Then let me tell you about strength.”
“Tell me everything, even the little things. “I need to know your strength properly so I can distribute personnel properly.”
Although she spoke even colder, Leria’s feelings were a bit different.
‘Nearly two weeks… … ‘We need to protect it more thoroughly.’
This is what Major Anastasia said, as well as my personal opinion.
A crazy genius of this level had to be watched more carefully and protected thoroughly. Rather, the more outstanding a genius is, the more likely it is that he dies in an accident in the front line.
“We can deal with opening up first.”
Tuk.
I blinked blankly at the words that followed.
“… … If it’s a power you can easily handle, don’t tell me. “Wires are worse than not using unstable forces.”
I saw it in the data. What is there about openness? But I didn’t think that was openness in the true sense.
It’s true that you’ve probably gotten a clue about opening, and being able to use opening is definitely great, but if you don’t handle the power properly, it’s only more dangerous.
“yes. That’s why I’m telling you this. “Because I can handle complete openness.”
I inadvertently stood up at the sound of a confident, confident voice.
“Try it now.”
If it was true, I felt like I had to see it with my own eyes.
That was the moment Leria’s words ended.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!
A splendid golden energy filled the space at once.
“……!”
