Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 746
746. [Western Front] – Same Genius (22)
***
Day 4.
Now, the faces of the platoon members no longer look awkward.
In addition, I’m finally starting to feel like I’m gradually ‘adapting’ to something.
The interior of the First Fortress and the enemy barracks no longer felt so unfamiliar or awkward. I just felt like I was where I was supposed to be.
And in general, time in the enemy barracks was free. There was almost no compulsory or educational time, and it was no exaggeration to say that except for basic training and meal times, they could act as they pleased.
‘Of course, within the time limit excluding mission time.’
Jerk.
Time flew by as I met and talked to many people along with my personal training.
As the afternoon passes, the world slowly turns red, the sunset fades into the evening, and there is not much time left until it is time to go on a mission again.
dripping.
“Lieutenant Leria. “This is Han Tiansheng.”
And right before going on a mission, I was called by Lieutenant Leria and was in front of the office.
-Come in.
When I opened the door and went in with a light voice, there was a woman there who I thought looked best in an officer’s uniform.
“Sit comfortably. “It’s a really light story.”
“yes.”
As I sat down like that, she naturally sat across from me.
While I was wondering what the business was about, I actually had a lot of guesses. Yesterday, he brought up something related to Anastasia, and he called me the very next day.
‘Perhaps Lieutenant Leria could do it in just one day… .’
I guess I’ve already finished talking to Anastasia.
“Major Anastasia would like to see you tomorrow afternoon.”
As expected, when she spoke lightly, I burst out laughing without realizing it.
“thank you!”
“It’s not like I’m that grateful, Major Anastasia said she was making time to meet you too, so it wasn’t too hard for me to say. “Because it’s natural.”
“Thank you, though.”
Even as I bowed my head, I was truly grateful to her.
In fact, building a bridge between me and Anastasia might have been as easy as she said. Not only did they already know each other, but considering the various special conditions, it was a relationship where one party would accept a request to meet.
Even so, I thought I was receiving truly exceptional treatment, since they so easily listened to the words of a new officer who had only arrived at the front for a few days.
“Anyway, I was telling you to save time tomorrow, and I have something to tell you about today’s mission.”
“I will listen.”
“It’s not just a reconnaissance mission, we’re going to execute an apostle. And I plan to accompany you on that mission. Do you need to prepare mentally?”
As she asked, she was looking at me blankly.
And I met her eyes and shook my head as if it was obvious.
“no.”
“Yeah, right? I asked just in case. Even if you say it’s okay, there’s no way to be sincere, so you can say it whenever you want. Force march, I don’t intend to force you to participate in the schedule or force you to do it. “You can feel free to say that it’s difficult if it’s difficult, and that it’s too much if it’s too much.”
“… … “Thank you for your consideration.”
“This isn’t something that should be called consideration, it’s just something that is ‘natural.’ No matter how unbecoming a new officer you appear, to me you are still a new officer.”
Her voice laughed and I burst out laughing as well.
New officer.
Newbie.
the youngest.
Newborn chick… … .
In fact, no matter what words he called me, I didn’t even feel the slightest discomfort. That’s because, from the perspective of her, the platoon commander of the enemy wing platoon that has been fighting on the front line for years, I really would be nothing.
“It’s really okay.”
And to that extent, I wanted to accept without hesitation the conditions she proposed and achieve them as if I were proud of them.
I am not trying to prove my worth, but I am now in this space proudly as a member of the enemy’s platoon.
I wanted to be recognized for that.
“If that’s really the case, that’s okay. “Now go out and get some rest before you go on a mission. That’s all I have to say.”
“yes. then… … .”
As he stood up to the calm greeting, he immediately bowed his head and expressed his respect.
Crash.
As I left her office, I strangely felt a new emotion.
‘This is the second mission following the first.’
I heard from other senior officers that they were given unconditional rest the day after they went on a mission. And depending on the severity of the mission, you may need to rest for several days instead of just one day.
And now, I was going on missions every other day. That also means that the mission itself is not that dangerous… … .
On the other hand, I also felt like I was being recognized a little bit.
“It means you respect me that much.”
So, while being very considerate of me, he wants to accompany me on missions.
Rather than just protecting me and treating me as a new officer so that I don’t get hurt, he wants to treat me like a proper person.
Jerk.
So now my heart is just calm and with small expectations.
Rather than being afraid of successive missions or filling my heart with vague emotions, I felt like I could show them more about myself because I was able to go on missions.
“Let’s do well.”
I made a promise to myself as I slowly clenched my hands.
Let’s do even better.
Let’s approach them better than we are now… … .
… … .
As time passed, the time for the long-awaited mission arrived.
Cheonsung was added to the existing lineup of Leria, Sabrina, Cristina, and Iris.
Each of them is wearing an officer’s uniform, is thoroughly armed, and is fully prepared for the mission.
Again.
And as a total of five people, led by Leria, started walking towards the enemy wing barracks to participate, there were naturally people to greet them.
“Have a safe trip today!”
McPhill’s powerful voice was directed at Leria,
“Our youngest, are you doing well?”
Rune stuck her head out from the inner room and cheered for Cheonseong.
Sreuk, sreuk!
And Roxanna, the sub-commander of the enemy wing, and Elphy next to her lightly waved their hands as they looked at several platoon members.
“… … .”
And Cheonseong blinked blankly at the sight of the platoon member like that.
‘It could have been like this.’
It was a greeting that I had not felt before when I left for my first mission a few days ago.
And I knew why that was.
‘Because everyone was in a deep sleep after returning from mission.’
At that time, Lieutenant Leria and the current platoon members who went on a mission were all very tired. I only saw it now.
Many people who seemed calm were not calm, but forced themselves to get up in the morning and say hello just to see me.
So, it was quite surprising to receive greetings from other platoon members while going on a mission together.
I knew what going on a mission meant without having to be told.
‘I’m not going out with a light heart.’
The greeting itself was a greeting wishing for our safe return. I hope that the platoon member going on a mission will naturally value himself more and his mind will also be more corrected.
Jerk.
As we left the enemy barracks, I clenched and unclenched my hands without realizing it.
Tuk.
“How about something new?”
When I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned my head to see Ensign Sabrina looking at me with a refreshing smile.
“yes. “It’s new.”
“You will experience this often from now on, so get used to it now. These actions are also intended to foster bonds among platoon members.”
It was a playful voice, but it felt like it contained a lot of meaning.
‘A bond.’
In some ways, it’s a bit of an unfamiliar greeting, but sharing your feelings with each other like that can foster a bond among platoon members.
Maybe it was because I heard from Lieutenant Rune yesterday about a person named Velenia, but there was nothing that felt bigger to me.
“Relax from now on and stop chatting.”
“yes. “Lieutenant Leria.”
“All right.”
And when we heard Lieutenant Leria’s cold voice, we immediately adjusted our attitude.
***
Sararak… … !
The harsh frontal wind envelopes my whole body unpleasantly.
‘Always unpleasant.’
For Leria, the wind from the front was never refreshing.
It is extremely unpleasant, dirty, sticky and even hot.
The simple feeling of the wind blowing over the front was one thing, but the actual sight of the front line was bound to be even more unpleasant.
ㅡ!
He moved quickly across the front line and spread mana periodically. To prepare for any possible danger to the apostles who may not be detected.
‘It’s strange.’
Still, it definitely felt different.
The formation is different between four people moving the front line and five people moving, and the blind spots in the perspective that need to be seen also change.
As I glanced to the side, I saw a man moving his body at our pace.
‘Han Tiansheng.’
The cold, hard eyes between the black hair blowing in the unpleasant wind from the front line were impressive.
Although I was not able to accompany them on their first mission, I was able to get a sense of why Roxanna’s highly praiseworthy report was just from that fragmentary appearance.
“Sabrina, Christina.”
“yes. “Lieutenant.”
“Please tell me.”
I looked at the two people who responded immediately and nodded slightly.
“As we are on a mission to execute an apostle, do not stray too far from Han Tiansheng’s side.”
“yes.”
“All right.”
Even as I looked at the two people silently agreeing, I could feel Han Tiansheng’s gaze slightly looking at me.
The strange look in his eyes made me think he was probably overprotective of me. So I found even that look quite funny.
‘The young chick is really fearless.’
When I went out on my first mission, I actually didn’t find it strange at all when Han Tiansheng came to me and complained.
No matter how much they told me they were okay, it was as if they had pushed their backs to carry out their mission quite harshly, so it was no wonder that they were dissatisfied.
But, that guy was different.
Originally, the task of executing an apostle was clearly an overwhelming task. Even for an officer assigned to the front to leave within a month is a mission that is almost a ‘harsh act’.
Rather than being dissatisfied with this mission, that young chick is feeling a little dissatisfied with being overprotected.
Good!
From noble mtl dot com
A faint laugh escaped me as I took a strong leap across the ground.
‘An attitude like that would mean he’s a genius like Major Anastasia.’
A genius that cannot be understood with common sense.
I am also called a genius by many officers, but Major Anastasia is at a level that even I cannot understand.
Then, Han Tiansheng also should not be viewed in the category of common sense.
