Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 779
779. [Western Front] – Is it because I’m a burden? (55)
***
“no. “It’s just nothing.”
As I shook my head with an awkward smile, I, who had been looking at her nervously, felt a moment of disappointment.
‘What on earth were you trying to say… … .’
Did Lieutenant Leria waste time by hesitating his lips like that?
“Anyway, you are on a mission with me in the 1st Red Wing Unit. That’s all you ask… … the poor?”
After hearing the words that followed, I put my thoughts aside and nodded.
“yes. “I don’t want anything more than that.”
“Then that’s it. I’m going to change your unit’s formation starting today, and you know that. And the first unit has a mission scheduled for tomorrow morning. Until then, everyone else will know. You too, become more determined.”
Her words finally put my mind at ease.
“thank you!”
Even though I answered strongly, I felt like something was easy, yet very difficult to deal with.
It’s also true that I have to start all over again from the beginning with a person who clearly had favor with me. Since yesterday, it has felt very difficult for me to deal with Lieutenant Leria.
Then, suddenly, Lieutenant Leria frowned slightly.
“Han Tiansheng. I’m only saying this now that the conversation is over, but actually… … you today Even if you didn’t come to see me, I was planning to change your unit’s formation to the 1st unit.”
I blinked for a moment.
What does that mean?
“… … yes?”
“So that’s what I originally intended to do. There was no need for you to be so nervous and talk. Anyway, that’s enough. Just leave now. “You have a mission scheduled for tomorrow morning, so don’t go to the training room today.”
I stood up at her greeting, but my mind was blank.
Something was strange.
‘why.’
Was she trying to put me in the first unit?
I could hardly understand that. But looking at Lieutenant Leria, who had already turned away from me, it seemed like he had no intention of talking to me any further.
***
Crash.
As Cheonseong left the office, Leria, who was left alone, unconsciously chewed her lips.
“… … really.”
I don’t know a single thing.
It wasn’t to the point where I knew or didn’t know, I just felt like I was falling into a deeper labyrinth the more I learned about Han Cheon-seong.
I sighed and messed up my hair for no reason because my mind was so complicated.
Rustle rustle!
The big tangled red hair seemed to reflect my heart right now.
It’s dizzy and complicated.
“… … .”
Even as I chewed my lips, thoughts of Han Cheon-seong filled my mind again.
‘What is it really?’
Since he was such a foolishly good guy just yesterday, I thought he was making some kind of sacrifice.
Why did one or two crazy people like that always appear on the front line every now and then?
Even though they are making a great contribution to the empire just by being on the front line, they are extremely stupid people who try to sacrifice themselves even further there.
Even though everyone, including themselves, suffered losses if they died, there were people everywhere on the front lines who foolishly overexerted themselves.
And in that sense, I felt that Han Cheon-seong, who came to the enemy wing this time, was definitely of that type.
“But that wasn’t it.”
My thoughts were completely off track.
… … Even though he treated me so coldly yesterday, he came to see me again. At that time, I was in a very bad mood. He showed such a coercive attitude because he thought Han Tiansheng was making unreasonable demands again.
But what I felt after the conversation was different from what I expected.
At the same time, after interrogating Han Tiansheng to understand his thoughts, I came to know.
I wonder what kind of heart Han Tiansheng really had when he spoke to me, and what kind of heart does he have on this front line?
“… … .”
It felt like I was looking into a deep abyss.
Even as I let out a deep sigh, I swallowed my saliva without realizing it.
“It makes absolutely no sense.”
It really made no sense.
Just a moment ago, I continued to look into Han Tiansheng’s eyes. To be precise, it was no exaggeration to say that from the moment I entered the office, I had been making eye contact with this guy.
‘And now, Han Tiansheng also knows.’
A special intuition that you become aware of from the moment you reach the late stage of trait level 7. He knew that a being higher than him could reveal the lies in his words, so he made eye contact with me.
Very cheekily.
Therefore, the change that Han Tian-seong saw before he left was even more dramatic to me.
Sreuk.
I clenched my hands in a daze.
“… … .”
There was such strong emotion in his eyes that my body stiffened for a moment.
The emotions that Han Tiansheng showed for a moment were hatred, murder, anger… … In general, infinitely negative emotions. And such strong emotions soon affected the surrounding space.
This was quite the opposite of Han Cheon-seong’s gentle personality and his eagerness to please everyone in his platoon.
“What on earth happened to you?”
I knew it the moment I saw it. That’s not a feeling you can easily have.
And I couldn’t figure out what kind of feeling it was.
‘resentment… … .’
Among officers and soldiers, there were many cases where they enlisted because they had experienced unfortunate accidents related to Sado. I knew better because I had seen people like that before.
How do I get the look in Han Cheon-seong’s eyes?
And in that sense, how dangerous is he right now… … .
“I need to think more seriously.”
Above all, I had to correct my thoughts about Han Cheon-seong.
His genius talent, overwhelming growth, and even huge self-proving by winning the Grand Colosseum. Besides that, I was focusing on Han Tiansheng’s many outstanding abilities.
He adapts to life at the front in a short period of time, and even performs exceptionally well in his missions, which is unbelievable for a new officer. Moreover, there is not even the slightest friction with other platoon members.
He was a talent that could truly be called ‘ideal.’
A talent whose existence is almost impossible in reality.
In fact, I thought Han Cheon-seong’s activities within the first fortress were quite controversial.
As he goes on mission after mission, he returns safely and appears mentally stable. Even the military higher-ups, other than Major Anastasia, are paying attention to Han Cheon-seong.
However, there was actually a side to that guy that I knew nothing about.
A laugh escaped me as I felt like I was losing my mind.
“under… … “I was hiding that side of myself.”
Even now, I can’t quite believe that my body stiffened for a moment as I looked at Han Tiansheng, but suddenly the background of Han Tiansheng’s life came to mind again.
In the beginning, he had no family.
The background of his life was only described after the academy, and there was no information before that.
“There’s definitely something there.”
I couldn’t help but think that way. Even though he had the crisis of encountering an apostle several times in the material from when he was at the academy, he believed there was more to it than that.
‘And that’s… … .’
Something much worse must have happened to Han Tiansheng.
Such enormous resentment and hatred were not emotions that could arise overnight.
Endless emotions deep in the heart.
And only now did Han Tiansheng show me those feelings for the first time.
“… … .”
Even as I slowly caught my breath, my mind was racing.
‘Have I lost my family to an apostle, or may there be a bigger secret?’
When I think about it, Han Tiansheng was all strange.
Even Major Anastasia would consider him a genius, and he is neither arrogant nor conceited.
However, there is no characteristic characteristic of geniuses who are arrogant or look down on others. They even seem altruistic, as if they are trying to help others more.
… … When carrying out a mission, he always does his best and never feels tired or dissatisfied while living on the front line.
Even if it is expressed to a certain extent, it shows an outstanding quality that is worthy of consideration.
“really… … “It all made no sense.”
In short, this guy was not normal. Han Tiansheng had to see that something was twisted.
Even if we only assume the ideal, he is a difficult person to come out with, so it makes sense to say that it is even more abnormal for such a person to lead a daily life with normal thoughts.
Crucially, somewhere in his heart was greatly twisted.
I can’t say what it is, but it feels like something is very much off. And their thoughts and values cannot be the same as those of ordinary people.
And if it was viewed as a grudge against the apostle, I could understand it a little.
After deep thought, I was able to nod my head and straighten my mind.
Ok.
From noble mtl dot com
A deep breath escaped me as I took out the documents I had to process in the morning.
“… … “Let’s check again tomorrow morning when we go on a mission together.”
Seeing this completely unexpected appearance, I wondered if Han Cheon-seong would rather stay in the 2nd unit. I just couldn’t do that.
Now I felt like I had to see Han Tiansheng with my own eyes.
And, from now on, I had to face Han Tiansheng properly.
So that the eyes filled with endless hatred that I saw just a moment ago do not become more misaligned,
So that the balance of my mind, which is clearly distorted, does not fall further… … .
“I have to make it right.”
***
News about nature spread very quickly.
News that the organization has been changed to Unit 1, which Leria belongs to, rather than Roxanna’s unit, which she previously belonged to. And that soon caused quite a stir within the enemy barracks.
This was especially true for ‘two women’.
… … .
Slam!
At the sound of the door opening, Cheonseong, who was looking at the strategy guide in the inner room, was greatly surprised.
That’s right, the door was opened without knocking.
“Han Tiansheng!”
“… … “Lieutenant Rune?”
“Is it true? Are you really on a mission with Lieutenant Leria?”
Looking at her urgent question, Cheonseong nodded in confusion.
“yes… … “That’s how it happened.”
“No, why… ? “Why did it happen like that?”
Cheonseong was quite taken aback by Rune’s absent-minded rambling. He thought the rest of the platoon would find out within a day, but he didn’t know they would react so strongly.
So much so that he even opened the door wide open and came to see me.
But rather than getting angry, I felt understanding when I saw Lieutenant Rune.
Because she always treated herself really well.
“No, you know. If Lieutenant Leria moved you so suddenly, I would like to make a suggestion. This really doesn’t seem right. Anyway, how can they transfer you to the 1st unit now that you are in yellow mode… … .”
As Rune continued speaking urgently as if he had misunderstood something, Cheonseong shook his head without realizing it.
“no. “I volunteered.”
“… … what?”
“I asked Lieutenant Leria for a favor. “He wants me to go on a mission with Lieutenant Leria.”
“… … .”
Looking at Rune, who was momentarily speechless, Cheonseong felt grateful again.
How worried did he have to be for her to come to him in such a hurry? That made her even more grateful.
but.
I thought it was something I had to do. That’s why I just took action.
“Now, wait a minute. “Why on earth did you do that?”
“Because I thought it was right.”
“You really… … You don’t know anything. You really have no idea how dangerous and difficult it is to become a level 1 apostle. But you volunteered to change it?”
“I think it would definitely be a lot more dangerous. Still, this is my choice.”
select.
“… … .”
Cheonseong’s words were extremely strange, leaving Rune speechless.
Because it felt like I was drawing a line.
And that’s why Rune had to be even more shocked. Her youngest child, who had always been gentle and compliant, seemed to be completely different now.
“you… … “Is it because you feel burdened by me?”
So, at that moment, without realizing it, Rune said something completely different and unexpected. That was something she herself had never realized before.
“…!”
Immediately after Cheonseong’s eyes widened, Rune, who was looking at him, also closed his mouth blankly.
Strange silence.
An unexpected silence settled heavily between the two.
