“Really, McPhill is completely gone now? “It’s in yellow stance, but now look at it crawling out.”
“That’s right, it’s really sad to see the youngest come out so late.”
Cheonseong smiled awkwardly at Sabrina and Rune’s strange words.
“Ahaha… … “Isn’t it possible that we are too fast?”
From noble mtl dot com
McPhill heard everything that Cheon-soo said. So he was able to gather his mind and move carefully.
Jerk.
‘I haven’t seen you for a day or two anyway.’
So, what I saw just now wasn’t that surprising. So I approached and sat down in an empty seat.
Sreuk.
In fact, it was very uncomfortable to be here with Lieutenant Sabrina, but it was something I couldn’t avoid.
“Are you two okay? “You look very tired, perhaps because you didn’t sleep enough.”
“Even if it’s not okay, I have to adapt.”
I felt a chill in Ensign Sabrina’s voice.
“Huh… … Honestly, I just want to sleep right now. But what can I do? Like Sabrina said, if I don’t adapt from today, it will be even more hell.”
And when Ensign Rune covered it up a little more lightly, I was grateful to Ensign Rune again. That’s why it caught my eye more.
The sight of her so confidently leaning on Han Tiansheng’s shoulder.
‘Even if I try to brush it off, I’m really, really jealous.’
Even though Lieutenant Rune treats me relatively casually, he has never shown such a carefree attitude. So I paid more attention to Han Tiansheng.
My self-esteem went up through several conversations yesterday. And he was a better person than I thought, so I felt a lot of intimacy while talking to him.
Regardless of his looks or abilities, he’s a guy you’d be okay with just getting close to.
“… … .”
Even as I looked at his face blankly, I felt only one emotion.
‘You envious b*stard.’
I was really jealous of that too. I often see other second lieutenants teasing him without hesitation or engaging in light skinship like the current second lieutenant Rune, and he accepts it without any hesitation.
In fact, I felt like there was a wall behind me to feel jealous. I didn’t know how he could have such an ideal appearance, but even though he was the same man, I felt like there was a wall between him. Rather, I didn’t feel jealous because I felt the wall.
The gap between me and him was too big.
If there was a comparison, I would be jealous and follow him and all, but I was far beyond the level of jealousy when I saw that Han Cheon-seong looked much more handsome than that b*stard Eun-ik’s Edric, who was also known to be handsome in the first castle.
“… … “McPhill.”
“Oh, yes. “Ensign Sabrina.”
“Are you picking Han Tiansheng now?”
I blinked blankly at the sharp words that suddenly came out.
“no. no. What did I… … Are you saying you did it?”
“Then why are you staring at me like that? “If anyone saw it, they would think they were trying to eat it.”
I urgently shook my head. If you think about it, this was a place where you had to be even more careful. It is a fact known to everyone in the enemy faction that Lieutenant Sabrina has been openly favoring Han Cheon-seong over the past few days.
I shouldn’t have looked more hateful towards her for no reason.
“It’s not like that at all.”
“Ensign Sabrina, my relationship with Ensign McPhill is not bad at all.”
Just then, Han Tiansheng added something, and a laugh escaped me without my knowledge.
‘And it’s different.’
Above all, Eunik’s Edric. Rather than that b*stard, it was important for Han Tiansheng to be able to communicate. At least he is a completely different person qualitatively from the guy who flaunts his good looks and looks down on others.
“really… … okay?”
Even though Ensign Sabrina gave me a strange look, I was proud. Yesterday, I narrowed down my relationship with Han Cheon-seong, and I knew how ridiculous it would be for me to be jealous.
‘To begin with, jealousy has to be at the right level to be jealous.’
If I denied a person who was acknowledged by almost everyone in the enemy group, it would only be strange to me. Above all, the person I liked didn’t seem to have that much of a relationship with Han Tiansheng, so although I was actually jealous, it didn’t really matter.
“Interesting, I thought you and our youngest might have a bad relationship.”
“Is that how you see me, Lieutenant Rune?”
“huh. That’s right… … It’s a bit hard to say this, but Han Cheon-seong is loved by all of our children. “The difference is so drastic compared to when you came in last year.”
There are bones in words. But since there was no malice whatsoever, I was able to accept it.
“Well, I think that would be the case even if I were of the opposite position. “Because I can understand.”
“right? Does it look that way to you too? “Our youngest should be a little cuter than you.”
Lieutenant Rune’s grinning face looked like a goblin, but I thought I had to do it now.
“Ahaha… … .”
Even now, when I see Han Tiansheng smiling awkwardly while looking at me, I can just ignore it.
I thought this kid was better than Edric, who was unlucky in every way, but even so, I couldn’t help but feel envious.
“I really envy you too.”
“… … That’s Ensign McPhill. “I guess this is just because it’s been a while since I arrived.”
I shook my head at what he said.
This was a topic that the more I dug into it, the more I would lose out.

-Apostle.
Humanity’s greatest enemy and greatest threat. And it could also be said to be an evil that poses a direct risk to one’s life.
There were countless words referring to the apostle.
It was also a symbol of fear and fear for the general citizens of the empire, and it was a threat so great that the day you actually encountered it, you would think you were dead.
And the category referring to an apostle was also very broad.
A simple monster that has been strengthened for some reason is called an apostle, and it is a strange being that cannot be explained by anything specific.
Enemies that threaten humanity are also called apostles.
And since the category of apostles was so broad, it was probably only natural that the apostles were classified according to their strength on the front lines.
… … .
Cheonseong, who suddenly remembered the justice of the apostle, found it fascinating.
“A third-level apostle… .”
The words that words can be said to be true or that I might go on a mission in the morning today have become reality.
While preparing for the mission, I was reorganizing my thoughts about Apostle. The current mission goal I heard about is the execution of Black Ogre, a ‘3rd level apostle’.
The knowledge about various apostles learned at the academy corresponded to low-level apostles, equivalent to levels 3 to 7. And fortunately, information about black ogres was also included in what I learned.
A monster that has relatively low resistance to magic condensed mana, but is extremely strong in physical resistance. Perhaps you could say that I am a polar opposite, but that does not mean that there is no counterpart.
‘Of course, it would be best if there was a wizard.’
Even if that wasn’t the case, it wouldn’t be that difficult to deal with if you aimed at the eyes and ankles, which are normally seen as vital points, and broke the body’s balance.
Above all, the ogre’s speed was bound to be a bit slow due to its large size.
“It’s worth dealing with.”
I was confident even as I recalled what I had learned earlier. Since my spear is also a spear with mithril added, there are no defects in the weaponry or weaponry.
It was not a force that could not be dealt with at all.
Still, if there was one thing I was cautious about, I felt like I needed to study again separately.
‘Because you’ll need to know more about the Apostle.’
In the academy, I heard that there was no need to deal with ‘highly dangerous species’ that were level 3 or higher, but I mainly heard about the training for low-level apostles.
Now the situation has changed 180 degrees.
I was assigned to a special platoon called the Red Wing, and the level of the apostles I had to deal with was incomparable to that of ordinary low-level apostles.
However, it was also funny to deny learning at the academy.
“Because I was in C class.”
If it were Class A, I wondered if the content taught by the apostle would be a little different, but it didn’t seem to be much different. Who would have thought that within a year, you would be sent to the front line and have to deal with level 3 or higher apostles?
therefore… … I felt like I was starting over from scratch.
I’m learning again.
Sreuk!
After tying the laces of my military boots tightly, I stood up straight.
Tuk!
With the spear mounted on the back, preparations for the mission were completed. I was nervous, but my heart wasn’t heavy.
“Let’s do our best.”
In fact, for me, this was no different from my first proper mission.
Although the level of the first mission has been raised with the yellow stance… … .
‘Because I’m confident.’
I had faith in my spear and had absolute faith in the strength I had built up. Moreover, there was no need to be afraid at all when thinking about performing a mission with several platoon members.
Crash.
***
The time when the sunset is slowly fading.
There was an enemy platoon leaving the barracks and entering the front lines. Five figures, centered around Roxanna, stepped onto the wide front line.
Good!
Swish!
Light steps and steps hit the ground at the intersection, and their speed quickly crossed the front line.
The car had a black-based officer’s uniform, and the red wing emblem on the right shoulder glowed even redder in the setting sun.
Grumbling.
Elf, whose sky-blue hair was naturally fluttering, suddenly turned her gaze to one side of the formation.
‘Is it really okay?’
As the current number of members has increased to five with the addition of Han Cheon-seong, the formation has changed to a formation with a protruding center, even though it is straight.
And actually, I still had doubts.
The face of Han Tiansheng, who was moving with us with his black hair flowing, looked calm.
Even though he was actually going on his first mission in the full sense, he didn’t look scared at all. Even so, I felt that even that was abnormal.
When I was told that I would be assigned to my platoon for the first month.
I thought it was just a matter of letting them watch. It is said to be a form of show-off that only informs the atmosphere of the front line to increase the experience of new officers.
So, I tried not to pay much attention to Han Tiansheng. Because he thought he was going to leave soon anyway.
But that wasn’t it.
‘It’s only been a week.’
Officially participating in the mission. I am participating in the competition together to do my part for the right benefit.
I thought of Roxanna as a sub-captain and did not object to that idea, but I was an exception this time.
Because I still don’t know if this is really the right thing to do.
Good!
“… … .”
A light breath escaped as I quickly moved across the ground again.
Of course, it was recognized that Han Cheon-seong was outstanding in almost every aspect, including his talent and achievements and, above all, his mental stability.
Because it’s different.
Although he is a new officer, he shows an attitude that is unbecoming of a new officer in all aspects.
He was a type of so-called ‘genius’. However, the Jeok Ik itself was initially structured so that only those who were called geniuses could enter.
“Elphy.”
“… … huh.”
“Are you worried about your youngest child?”
Looking at Rune, whose mouth slightly curled up, she slowly shook her head.
“Not really.”
Not to worry… … Something was a little different.
I just wonder if this is really okay.
