Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 793
793. [Western Front] – Wind of Death (69)
***
Crash.
Even as I returned to the inner room, I was dazed.
There is a mission again tomorrow morning. A mission that is not stressful at all as it involves executing another first-class apostle.
“Whoa.”
But now my mind has become more disturbed.
In order to compromise my relationship with Lieutenant Rune, I impulsively proposed a ridiculous and irrational proposal of contract love.
dump.
As I lay down on the bed in a daze, my eyes fell on my hands without realizing it.
-Okay, then call me Rune. Come on~ Huh?
An image of Lieutenant Rune, who told me to call him Rune, reminded me of Antal.
… … A sad look.
And even I, who was careful to classify the request and called it Rune.
Everything about it was unrealistic.
“this… … “It’s reality, right?”
When my cheek was lightly pinched, I realized it was real due to the vivid pain, but my mind felt like I was in a dream.
From the moment Lieutenant Rune came into my arms, we talked for nearly an hour.
There was no further affection, and Lieutenant Rune did not ask for anything more from me, as if he was satisfied with just being in my arms.
However, the conversation that lasted for nearly an hour was greatly distracting my mind even now that I had broken up with her.
“… … .”
A deep breath escaped me, and I unconsciously stroked my face.
‘Is this right?’
Perhaps it was because I was regretting it later, but even I felt confused now.
But when I thought of Lieutenant Rune’s happy face, her face looking up at me with a smile on her face, I didn’t want to regret my actions so much right now.
It felt like a jumble of mixed emotions.
“Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be accepted this easily.”
Originally, I expected an answer like I needed some time or that I would think about it a bit.
And just because of that, Lieutenant Rune’s attitude towards me will change a bit.
but. The reality was completely different.
Glad acceptance.
She clearly seemed to be concerned about my proposal, but she easily accepted a contract relationship with me by saying that it was better for her.
In fact, I was redrawing the line that existed between her and me.
In an attitude of completely rejecting Lieutenant Rune, I compromised with reality and pushed that line back a long way.
So that she can come closer to me.
And I also give her a little permission.
However, even though he knew the existence of the line, Lieutenant Rune did not care.
“While on the front lines… … .”
The condition of the contract I gave you was the period of stay on the front line. And after that, she and I go back to our previous relationship.
That was like saying that the moment I left the front line, I would soon break up with her.
It was truly a ‘selfish relationship’.
Even if I think that in some way he is playing with her heart, it is the kind of relationship that is hard for me to deny.
-Rather, Han Tiansheng, don’t you think I’m strange? I know you have a lover. And even though I had a lover, I expressed my feelings. You rejected me like that, and in the midst of that, you gave me another chance.
“opportunity.”
Ensign Rune repeatedly responded that it was an opportunity and accepted my offer.
That was one of the biggest reasons that confused me even more.
‘I didn’t give you a chance.’
What I proposed was literally a ‘contract’.
They signed a contract to be lovers and only wanted to spend a certain period of time together, and it would be a relationship similar to a lover, but it wasn’t actually a lover.
I handed her an unequal contract filled with several toxic clauses, offering her a choice.
In a way, it was the devil’s temptation.
‘Because I know she likes me.’
I thought she would accept even the ‘contractual’ terms I gave her.
I already knew that.
Even though there might be a lot of noise in the process, I thought that Lieutenant Rune would not be able to reject me, so I said that.
“… … .”
I shook my head while wiping my face again.
I did it, and the results showed.
… … And I knew that I had to maintain a similar attitude when dealing with other members of my platoon.
I told that to Lieutenant Rune, but I actually felt a little strange about it.
-Pretending to be nice and innocent on the outside… … You knew everything about her heart.
I still vividly remember her face as she spoke to me in surprise.
-Well, it doesn’t really matter. Anyway, I don’t think I’m a lover in the true sense of the word with you right now… … But I’m not in a position to tell you not to do something or that I don’t like that kind of thing.
And she quite calmly accepted my opinion.
It seems like it doesn’t matter.
And to be honest, I found it very strange.
“How can you accept me?”
Although they may have been attracted to my appearance right away, I thought that in the past two weeks, the platoon members had generally become somewhat accustomed to my appearance.
Cases of surprise or subtle looks like on the first day are almost gone now.
And that was the case for me too.
Originally, I didn’t pay much attention to the outstanding beauty of the enemy platoon members, but now I was able to look at them more calmly and treat them as ‘members of the same platoon’ without any problems.
Then there should have been no illusions about me.
Moreover, they know what my personality is like and that I have a lover.
however… … .
However, he accepts me like this and even tries to form a special relationship called contract love.
“And he said he would try to seduce me… … Because I did it.”
In order to make me like him, Lieutenant Rune revealed his feelings to me even more.
-You will like me. Until you leave the front, I think that will happen.
Her voice was full of confidence and I couldn’t help but laugh.
“… … “I guess so.”
In fact, even though we decided to have a contract relationship, I was just giving her distance.
The essential meaning was very different from me actively expressing affection for Ensign Rune or whispering love like I would in other romantic relationships.
Slurp!
I ruffled my hair and cleared my mind.
“now.”
In about five hours, I would have to go on another apostle execution mission. However, it was not good to clutter my mind with these various thoughts.
The reason I approached Lieutenant Rune in the first place was because I hoped there would be no unnecessary emotional friction.
“… … .”
I slowly closed my eyes and tried to erase the thoughts that had built up.
***
The border between dawn and morning.
Shuuung!
As the harsh winter wind swept across the front lines and coldly caressed the exterior of the fortress, there was a platoon with red wings exiting the first fortress.
Swish!
The platoon, moving so fast that even the wind seemed to cut through them, all wore red wing symbols and numbered a total of five people.
And the guard in charge of the castle gate, who was suddenly watching them, was filled with admiration without realizing it.
“… … “Isn’t it amazing?”
“but. “Aren’t you going out on missions almost every day now?”
“As far as I know, yes. But this time, another level 1 apostle has appeared and we are going on a mission to execute him.”
In between the quiet words, they suddenly caught a glimpse of their backs, which had suddenly changed into a distant dot.
“Unlike Eunik, I hope there are no problems.”
“… … That will be fine. “Isn’t the unit currently on mission the 1st enemy unit where Lieutenant Leria is?”
“yes. “It’ll be okay.”
Leaving behind the guards’ exchange of extremely strange words, the red wing platoon, which had already turned into a dot, soon reached the red zone.
Good!
As they stopped one by one at the border of the red zone, Leria, who was in the lead, narrowed her eyes and looked back at her platoon members.
“… … According to the scouting team, there is a possibility that this first-class apostle, Lich, may be a mutant apostle. Although it is not certain, we will have to be more careful and nervous than before. “Does everyone understand?”
“”yes!””
Leria looked around at the platoon members as if she was satisfied with the powerful voice of the platoon member, and then put on her mana first and stepped into the red zone.
Again.
And as they entered the red zone, the other platoon members also wrapped their bodies with mana and stepped into the red zone one by one.
As they naturally formed a formation, Leria thought.
‘Rich… … .’
When a mage is kidnapped or killed by an apostle, if the body cannot be recovered, it appears as a dead person.
From noble mtl dot com
And that was definitely one of the worst situations.
A special class that is said to be the highest grade among the current Sado danger level classifications.
In fact, although he does not reach the level of a special apostle, the highest rank that can be fought only by a high-ranking officer of 20 or more, Lich’s power is definitely enough to be granted a first-class apostle.
‘We don’t know what kind of magic he will use, and what level of magic he has achieved.’
In that sense, the possibility of Richie’s ‘mutation’ was in fact close to a disaster.
Among the various units currently in the 1st Fortress, the enemy wing was given the task of executing a first-class lich. Perhaps it was natural.
Among the red and silver wings, which are called the twin wings of the first fortress, the current situation of the silver wing was not very good. Due to Lieutenant Ryuel’s death, Eunik’s mission balance was broken.
It is said that Captain Ben Gale is doing his best to fill the gap, but it is understandable that he feels burdened by the current task of executing a first-class apostle.
Empty power due to endless missions,
From the heart of a platoon leader who lost a platoon member,
It won’t all be easy.
So, we must do it.
“… … First of all, in this case, close combat is not allowed. “Everyone, no matter what happens, don’t think about getting attached to Richie.”
As I spoke coldly, my eyes naturally turned to one place.
“Lieutenant Leria. That means… … .”
I answered calmly as I looked at Han Cheonseong who was looking at me cautiously.
“Han Tiansheng, in this mission, you should focus on killing the monsters flocking to Lich’s Buster Call.”
“… … All right.”
I nodded as I saw him agree without protesting.
‘It’s trustworthy.’
Even on the first day, I was impressed by his talent and liked his willingness to take risks and perform well.
And now, more than two weeks later, that little chick has grown tremendously and is faithful to her role.
We strictly follow the basic system of top-down, and do not cross the line by knowing the topic ourselves.
That was better than anything.
‘Excellent in every way.’
So, even though I could trust him, I couldn’t let him go on an extremely dangerous mission like the present.
In the not too distant future, Han Tiansheng
Because she is someone who should become a mainstay of the empire like Major Anastasia.
Tuk.
And at the same time, he stopped walking.
Jerk.
I recognized the platoon member who immediately followed me and stopped, and my eyes caught the extremely intimate energy felt from a distant, distant place.
Even if you focus on mana, you can only see traces of strange energy as black dots.
“… … Combat readiness.”
Even as I opened my mouth coldly, my heart sank heavily.
-Mutation.
Even at first glance, that lich had such an aura that it was clear that he was a mutant.
