Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 739
739. [Western Front] – Ensign Christina (15)
***
The morning of the third day of the Western Front dawned.
“… … .”
Cheonseong naturally opened his eyes and stared blankly at the sunlight shining dimly inside.
Slurp.
As I slowly raised my upper body, I wiped my face once.
“It’s still hard to fully adapt.”
It was like that yesterday morning too, but when I wake up like this, I feel like I’m still in the academy dormitory and like I have to head to the academy.
But it was all just a moment.
The reality was not like that at all. Because where I was was the ‘Western Front’.
The interior that came into view seemed to tell us about reality.
As soon as I went into the washroom, washed up, and changed into my officer’s uniform, I felt like I had come to my senses.
Sarah! Swish!
While adjusting the fit of my officer’s uniform, I calmly looked at my reflection in the mirror.
“… … “Han Cheon-seong.”
Even though he called my name for no reason, I was conscious of my reflection in the mirror.
Above the black officer’s uniform, there was a pattern of red wings on the right shoulder. Being at the front line as an officer rather than a cadet.
Even as I realized that again, a faint smile escaped me.
“It’s worth it.”
I’m not saying it was easy, but I didn’t have much difficulty living day to day.
Above all, I thought that the members of the enemy platoon were all good people, so even though I was very nervous yesterday when I went on my first mission, other than that, life wasn’t so difficult that it was difficult to adapt.
After checking my appearance once again, I came out of the inner room with my new spear, Petelias, on my back.
Crash.
As I carefully closed the door, I looked into the huge hall inside the enemy barracks, and sure enough, it was different.
“… … “There’s really no one in the morning.”
When I left the room and checked the time, it was a little after 7 o’clock. If it’s early, it’s early, but from what I can see, the enemy wing generally tends to go beyond morning.
Jerk. Jerk.
Just like yesterday, I entered the spacious hall and picked up a filled water bottle on one side of the space.
“… … .”
While naturally replenishing moisture, laughter suddenly escaped me.
A true red zone. We hadn’t even entered there yet, but I was imitating the actions of the seniors I saw yesterday.
Crash.
Then, when the door opened, I immediately turned my head.
“hello… … .”
I was a little surprised even as I said that. I thought I had seen all the members of the enemy wing platoon through the people I saw yesterday, but the person I saw now was someone I had never seen before.
“Haaa… … . Ahhh… … .”
It yawns widely and approaches me with half-closed eyes.
More precisely, as I walked towards the place where the water bottle was placed, I stared blankly at her as she passed by me.
First, I noticed her jet-black hair, which was different from Ensign Sabrina, and her impression seemed completely different to me.
Jump, jump, jump.
He was gulping down water as if he were a person without a blade, but it was difficult to even talk to him again, so I just stared at him.
“ha… . “I think I’ll buy something now.”
Tuk.
When she finished emptying the water container, she smiled brightly as if she felt refreshed. I was surprised by how bright her smile seemed to me.
Something… … It looked similar.
It feels similar to Milia, which is warm yet retains its unique brightness.
She definitely had a completely different impression from Millia, but her smile reminded me of Millia.
“hey. “You’re a new recruit, right?”
“yes. “It’s called Han Tiansheng.”
“The introduction is done. “I know a little bit about you.”
dump.
Then, without hesitation, he came to sit next to me and looked at me again, yawning. I straightened my posture and composed myself.
Instead of the warm and soft appearance that Millia has, she is a cynical yet very cold woman. Therefore, I also needed to be a little more careful with my actions.
“Let me introduce myself first, Ensign Christina. Just simply call it that. “Because there’s nothing more to say.”
“yes. “Ensign Christina.”
“Foot… . But one thing he really looked like was that he was really handsome. “I saw you as soon as I woke up, so I’m not in a bad mood.”
Then, when I heard a strange compliment along with a small smile, I awkwardly nodded.
“… … thank you.”
Afterwards, he cynically played with his black hair, and even that little thing was clearly different from Millia. Even I couldn’t understand why I was reminded of her Milia when I looked at her.
“So what on earth did you do at the academy?”
“yes?”
“I believe you came to us under direct orders from Princess Lyudmila. So I wondered what on earth he had done.”
The lightly spoken words seemed to sharply pierce my heart.
And then I looked at Ensign Christina again. The face with a very languid expression and narrowed violet eyes gave off a strange sense of mystery.
‘I’m not an ordinary person.’
A strange feeling of knowing details about the royal family.
“I don’t know much about Princess Lyudmila. “She received the order before she even met the princess.”
“… “I didn’t do anything, but I received orders from the front?”
“yes. “I also suddenly received an order.”
“That’s really strange. Tell me honestly, have you really done nothing to Princess Lyudmila? Whether it’s an obnoxious action or a light word spoken in passing… “There really is nothing like that?”
“There is not one.”
There was no hesitation in answering.
Because this was the truth, and it was also the truth without any lies.
“under… … Han Cheon-seong, you too have an unfortunate fate. I thought that if Princess Lyudmila was giving orders directly, she must have something. Looking at your eyes now, I don’t think you’re lying. So that’s really true… … .”
On the other hand, I was also surprised by the way he seemed to be thinking about something.
‘It feels like Ensign Christina knows Lyudmila well.’
I had to say to the public that I had no contact with Princess Lyudmila or any knowledge about her. I know how meticulous Lyudmila is in the story, but in this world, I was just an academy cadet.
“I’m just asking, just in case, do you have any ties to other royal family members?”
I couldn’t answer the extremely cautious question right away.
What on earth are you asking me to find out? What is your intention in asking me like that? I thought about it for a moment, but I didn’t think it would mean much if I kept my relationship with Rachel hidden.
‘anyway.’
Rachel said she would come to the Western Front to meet me halfway.
“… … yes. there is.”
“So that’s what it was. “Then I understand.”
“Ensign Christina, can you tell me why you said that to me?”
“There’s nothing special. It’s simply a personal curiosity. “When she suddenly said she would send her child, who was her cadet, to her front lines, I thought you had done something very wrong.”
I was surprised by the unexpectedly bold answer.
I got the feeling that she wasn’t lying because of her refreshing attitude.
‘But it doesn’t feel like it reveals everything.’
There’s something about Ensign Christina. At this moment, I was convinced that there was a pretty big secret there, too. It’s usually impossible for anyone to mention Lyudmila.
“Anyway, the face is familiar to me, so the purpose is over. “I think you’ll be uncomfortable if I hold you here any longer, so I’ll just stand up and try.”
“no. It’s not uncomfortable at all… … .”
“it’s okay. Now that I’m here, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable about my appointment. How can you be comfortable? “You too, get some rest.”
I nodded cautiously, even as my gaze wandered to the smiling face.
“yes. thank you.”
After that, I stared at her as she slowly walked away. It was definitely a short conversation, but it left a very strong impression.
‘Ensign Christina.’
Maybe I should think of her name a little bigger.
***
Meanwhile, Leria’s office.
Tuk. Tuk.
Only the sound of a knock on the table broke the silence of the space, and Leria was thinking about Roxanna’s report from last night.
ㅡEspecially in the mental aspect, he showed extremely high adaptability. Lieutenant Han Cheon-seong was not at all burdened by the weight of the battle lines, and did not show any sign of hesitation or fear when facing various monsters. Rather, based on my personal judgment, I had no hesitation in conducting a kill test on a completely incapacitated troll.
Leria couldn’t sleep well last night because of Roxanna’s simple voice reporting.
Tuk.
And then the hands tapping on the table stopped.
“He didn’t even look like he was struggling… … .”
Letting Han Tiansheng accompany him on reconnaissance yesterday could be seen as a kind of unreasonable move. So, even if I looked a little disappointed, I decided that it was not something to be disappointed about, but that it could be seen that I had set too high standards.
However, it is said that Han Cheon-seong did not waver despite my standards.
“under.”
Even though I was laughing, I didn’t understand.
Of course, there are quite a few officers and soldiers who come to the front and burn their bodies or do so out of a sense of duty.
But I can assure you that not everyone was like that.
Inevitably, depending on the given situation,
For the family,
For individuals… … .
More than half of the officers and soldiers who came to the front came because they ‘had to’. Who would want to be at the front line where they have to feel death? Everyone came because the situation was so bad that they had to come to the front line.
So, stick to the given mission, but most people do not try to do more than that.
As humans, we can show weakness and be afraid. Because that wasn’t strange at all.
“… … “I don’t understand any more.”
Why on earth would Han Tiansheng want to do something like that?
What I didn’t understand the most was the attitude. The background to his coming to the front was that he was forced to enlist under the influence of a high-ranking member of the royal family called Princess Lyudmila.
Nevertheless, Han Tiansheng tries to carry out everything with sincerity.
Yesterday, when I suddenly told him to accompany me on a mission, instead of resisting, he said, ‘I understand.’ I simply agreed and headed straight to the front.
I hoped he would show his shortcomings, but he actually showed a superhuman appearance that exceeded expectations. It wasn’t easy to understand.
“First of all, I need to get a good rest today.”
However, somewhere in my heart, I had a strong desire to send out on another mission tomorrow.
It’s not impossible that Roxanna neglected checking, but I wanted to see it with my own eyes.
How far can Han Tiansheng exceed my expectations?
Crash.
That was the moment I left the office with that thought in mind.
“Ah, hello.”
“… … “What are you?”
When I saw Han Tiansheng right in front of the door, I was momentarily surprised.
“no. “I was wondering if you could spare some time for me.”
“Is this something you and I need to talk about together?”
“no. Not necessarily. “I just wanted to briefly share what she said with Lieutenant Leria.”
Even as I looked at Han Tiansheng smiling awkwardly at me, the words from yesterday came to mind.
-This is Lieutenant Leria.
The voice that answered Sabrina’s mischievous question by calling me her ideal type suddenly came to mind, and for a moment my eyes blurred and I shook my head loudly.
“… okay. “Come inside first.”
Hearing those meaningless words, I cleared my throat and gently moved out of the way.
When I brought Han Cheon-seong back into the office, I slowly sat down on the sofa in the living room.
“Sit down.”
“yes.”
As I looked at the guy who carefully sat across from me, I was filled with curiosity.
“I don’t treat you to tea or anything unless you are a higher-ranking officer than me. “Don’t you feel sad?”
“yes. “It doesn’t matter at all.”
“So what business did you come to see me for?”
I didn’t want to waste too much time talking nonsense. Actually, my schedule was a bit busy today, and if it was a simple story, I wanted to finish it quickly.
“First of all, this is my personal story, but at the same time, it is also a story related to Major Anastasia. “I thought I should speak directly to Lieutenant Leria rather than others.”
Shocked.
What I heard later was not an issue that could be taken lightly.
“Han Tiansheng, tell me in more detail.”
