Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 764
764. [Western Front] – 3rd Class Apostle Black Ogre (40)
***
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
The huge black ogre’s scream, a roar full of pain, shakes the space.
The Black Ogre, who fell to his knees after being stabbed by the Spear of Heaven, was unable to stand up again like before. There are many vital parts of bipedal creatures, but it is safe to say that the crook of the back of the thigh is the most important part that interferes with almost all actions.
“under.”
And that was an even greater feeling for Roxanna, who exchanged a fleeting glance with Cheonseong while confronting the Black Ogre.
-3rd grade apostle.
The apostle was not at a level that a new officer could deal with. Regardless of whether he was a new officer or not, being a third-level apostle was quite a burden for most officers.
If conditions are limited to direct combat involvement, it would be difficult for half of the officers to participate in combat.
‘I didn’t panic despite the apostle’s buster call, but calmly assessed the situation and took advantage of the time.’
And now he has inflicted what could be considered a fatal wound on Sado.
Tuk!
Even as I landed on the ground, I couldn’t help but laugh.
In fact, there was clearly an option to push the Black Ogre harder and end it quickly. Jeokik’s strength is such that even a level 3 apostle can’t be considered an opponent.
But this was like a small test.
Now that Han Tiansheng is actually carrying out his first mission, it is a test to see how he will perform and respond. So I gave advice to other platoon members in advance, but the result exceeded my expectations.
“Elphy. Head shot.”
“huh.”
As I continued speaking to conclude, I glanced at the other platoon members, and each of them had a different look in their eyes, conscious of Han Tiansheng.
Admiration, surprise, astonishment, joy… … .
One common sentiment is that everyone was looking at it positively.
Sigh! Chop rock!
Even now, whenever Han Cheonseong’s spear moves through space, a strange wind like a unique spiral blows, and like Phil Jung, it pierces through the monster’s vital points and clears it out in one go.
It must have been sudden because I didn’t tell you in advance, but I didn’t panic or give anything. Attack the apostle, correct yourself, and deal with the surroundings.
Every single one of them was natural.
‘There was a reason you said that yesterday.’
I’m going on a mission.
He could have been removed from the mission, but he volunteered and made his intentions known to us. And that too with strong will. It was not just a mindset of spending time at the front and then leaving, but a mindset of working properly as a member of the enemy army.
“McPhill. “You must be really nervous, right?”
“… … “Is there anything I can do other than being nervous?”
“I wonder if that’s true too.”
I was about to tell Han Tiansheng that he had already been eaten, but I found it funny that I thought that at the front.
From noble mtl dot com
Wow!!
The ogre let out a huge roar and immediately raised both hands.
Even while kneeling on one knee, he lifted a huge pillar to somehow kill us, and it was fascinating to see that.
‘As he is an apostle with overwhelmingly high physical resistance, I thought it would be even more difficult for Han Cheon-seong to be active.’
But I knew it when I saw Han Tiansheng a little while ago.
Even without using any skills, he showed this level of performance.
How valuable you are to our enemies and whether you can play an active role. He made his own judgment and presented the right value.
I liked all of it.
Slurp.
Looking at that, I also raised my hands and believed in Rune and McPhill.
Kukukuk… … !
Doo doo doo… !
Even though the monsters that are flooding in with the ferocious Buster Call have become more powerful, the two of us will handle them without difficulty.
I focused my consciousness for a moment on the raised hand.
“… … .”
The moment I took a deep breath, the ogre struck down the huge pillar it had lifted.
Pa-Ah!!
At the same time, an explosion of light as if the space was exploding and a flash of colorful light decorated my vision.
As soon as I saw Elphie’s precise sniping powerfully pierce the ogre’s right eye, I also expressed my will as if exploding the entire space based on my concentrated consciousness.
Ugh!
An expression of resonance that is strange enough to be considered a sound.
And the air, suppressed by its own will, was pouring like waves towards the ogre.
Crumbling… … ! Kwasik!
The Ogre’s two arms, which had been hitting the huge pillar, were pushed out by the enormous pressure and began to twist abnormally. At the same time, the ogre’s skin burst under the pressure and soon the body began to fall backwards.
Kuuu!!!
As the soil in the red zone was blown away, my mind became infinitely clearer.
Kiririk!
Kuruk!
As soon as the apostle faced death, the rushing monsters seemed to have come to their senses and disappeared in a hurry.
“… … “I’m going to clean up the surroundings as usual, and I’m going to grab some of the ogre’s shoulder leather and take it with me.”
“uh.”
“great job.”
“yes. “Ensign Roxanna.”
With the words of the platoon members around me, I saw Han Cheon-seong quickly approaching us. I strangely laughed when I saw the monster’s blood smeared all over the officer’s uniform.
Good!
“The execution is over. “It was a really great performance.”
I raised my hand without saying a word as his face continued to express admiration as he looked at Elfie and me.
Tuk.
Then, he lightly tapped Han Tiansheng on the shoulder and nodded towards MacPhil.
“Han Tiansheng, you have done enough. But now, would you mind gathering some ogre hides with McPhill? “McPhill will tell you a lot about how to save.”
“Oh, yes!”
Hearing my words, I quickly turned to McPhill, who had gone to skin the ogre. I felt something strange looking at his back.
‘At times like this, you look pure again.’
Just a moment ago, when he was swinging the spear, his face was extremely cold. But now, he was astonished like a child at our performance.
Nevertheless, as I was the youngest, a distinct sense of satisfaction filled my heart as I followed McPhill into saving.
Again.
“Roxanna. So, in your opinion, how was the youngest?”
“ah… … Rune, you worked hard too.”
“Your troubles will be over when you return to the barracks.”
After looking at Rune who answered calmly, I turned my head to Han Tiansheng again. I looked at Han Cheon-seong as he was being explained in many ways by MacPhil.
Even after the execution of the apostle was over, I could see him trying to concentrate and make an effort, which was quite remarkable.
“As expected, the winner of the Grand Colosseum seems to be different.”
And my impressions were just that one word.
“That means it’s a passing grade.”
“yes.”
The Grand Royal Academy, where only talented people can enter. Among the Academy cadets who entered, the Grand Colosseum was the place to decide who was the best of the year.
And Han Cheon-seong won there as if to show off. Considering that the winner every year went beyond the axis of the empire, Han Tiansheng was already a guaranteed talent.
But I thought beyond that.
‘Because they are on a different level from us.’
This was only the ‘beginning’ for Han Tiansheng. However, he shows that level of activity right from the start.
Then from now on… … How high can Han Tiansheng rise?
“Elphy.”
Then, suddenly, my eyes fell on Elphie.
“… … huh.”
“Are you okay with your eyes now?”
I know Elphy and McPhill have questions about Han Cheon-seong. Even if you followed my decision yesterday, it doesn’t mean you truly accepted it.
“It’s definitely not bad. “But I think we still have to be careful.”
“I think the same thing.”
However, rather than completely trusting Han Cheon-seong, he was always careful and paying attention.
So that I can help you at any time.
ㅡ!
Afterwards, while exchanging words, they continued to spread mana around.
In order to detect the possible appearance or threat of another apostle, one part of my consciousness had to be on alert at all times. Then, I saw Rune moving to where MacPhil and Han Cheon-seong were.
“… … “Am I really that happy?”
And with that alone, it seemed as if Rune’s emotions were suddenly felt.
The youngest member of the unit is responsible for collecting the monster’s body from generation to generation. And since I was in the same class as Rune, I also knew how much Rune hated it in the past.
Because I hate Rune so much that I hate both doing it myself and watching it.
And yet, now, Rune was heading towards that place on her own feet.
“Because Rune was the most worried.”
As Elphie stood next to me, speaking softly, I nodded.
While Elphie had strange feelings for Han Cheon-seong, Rune didn’t express it on the outside, but deep down she was probably more worried than we were.
I wonder if Han Tiansheng is really going to be okay.
‘Rune is more tender-hearted than you think.’
Just now, I saw the face of Rune who had just landed next to Han Tiansheng. He showed how happy he was by the subtle smile on his profile.
***
As soon as I returned to the barracks, the only thing I naturally felt was thirst.
“ha… … ha… … .”
Even as I exhaled harshly, my mouth and lips became dry.
Apparently, the active time in the red zone was only about 2 hours. However, wrapping her body in Mana was not enough to fully handle the heat of the red zone.
‘This is really… … ‘It’s difficult.’
More precisely, enduring the heat in the red zone and using my own strength put a greater strain on my body than I expected.
The feeling of being out of breath, yet being pushed to the limit by intense thirst. It was difficult both physically and mentally at the same time.
“Han Tiansheng, here’s water.”
Tuk.
The coldness that hit my cheek along with the voice greatly awakened my spirit.
“thanks… … do. “Lieutenant Rune.”
Even as I answered, my voice cracked.
Hot!
I quickly opened the cap of the water bottle she handed me and brought it to my mouth.
Jump, jump!
As I poured the water into my mouth, almost pouring it, I felt a strange sensation, as if I was experiencing hell and heaven at the same time.
‘I’m crazy… … .’
The cold water flowing down my throat tasted better than any other water I had ever drank, and I could feel my body happily replenishing its hydration.
It was just heaven.
“So, why are you pushing yourself too hard? “I’m going to carry the black ogre skin all by myself.”
I had to laugh awkwardly while drinking water at the second lieutenant’s voice, which seemed a little bit like he was criticizing me.
“Ahaha… … . it’s okay.”
I certainly didn’t know that my actions were a bit foolish.
However, in order to look better to Lieutenant McPhill, I decided to carry the ogre skin I had saved by myself… … That was definitely a problem for me.
‘Why on earth is leather so heavy?’
It didn’t seem like I had collected that many ogre skins, but it felt like I was marching alone the whole way back to the barracks.
“And MacPhil, you’re a real person too. “Why don’t we just listen together? Why don’t you let the youngest lift it alone?”
“… … I told you more than three times that I would listen. Han Tiansheng was stubborn.”
“Still, you should have forced me to listen!”
Then, when Lieutenant Rune suddenly criticized Lieutenant McPhill, I urgently shook my head.
If this happened, the whole meaning of me lifting the ogre skin alone would disappear.
“Lieutenant Rune! “I’m really fine.”
“ha. Yes, Han Cheon-seong, don’t try to push yourself too hard. If it’s hard, say it’s a bit hard… … .”
Sreuk.
Suddenly, she caressed my cheek, and for a moment, I stopped.
“yes… … “I will.”
I answered blankly, but I still thought that Lieutenant Rune was being too reserved.
‘I guess it’s a bit… touching my cheek all of a sudden. … .’
But I felt like if I stopped it here, the atmosphere would get even weirder.
Glancing.
Let’s look carefully at our surroundings, and sure enough, it’s different.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I felt strange eyes looking at us.
