chapter 29

jerk. again.
With the sound of different footsteps, the nature was now walking with Carly.
Even compared to before entering the instructor’s restaurant, the atmosphere between the two was quite different.
“…”
“…”
Silence where no one speaks. A strange atmosphere filled with silence.
Still, they were walking towards each other.
Previously, Kali led the conversation and there was a comfortable atmosphere, but now there is a subtle and strange atmosphere revolving between the two…
glimmer.
While I looked at Kali, who was quietly walking next to me, my nature was long and quiet.
She thought that the meeting would end as it was, but Kali suddenly grabbed her.
And whoever saw it, Carly spoke to me with a bewildered look.
ㅡ Hancheonseong cadets? There’s a space… I’d like to go with you for a while.
But it doesn’t even tell you where it is.
I’m moving at Kali’s pace right now. I was also taken aback by the sudden situation.
‘But should I still say that my words sounded good?’
The unfamiliar and shameful words I said.
It was also meant to cover up my inadvertent mistakes, but more than half of them were sincere. The words I couldn’t say again sounded good though, so maybe where is Carly going with me now?
the car I was thinking of. For a moment, Carly’s eyes met.
“…”
Red eyes with a strange shimmer.
She immediately smiled awkwardly.
“I’m sorry first. Wasn’t my appearance a bit sudden for Han Cheon-seong to feel?”
When I spoke very carefully, I immediately smiled and replied.
“no. Rather, I was sorry. It was like I got up from my seat unilaterally to leave first. I had to get up after hearing the instructor’s answer clearly… .”
I thought it would be better for her to be alone, so I tried to leave her seat, but if I just let her go, I think I was rude to her.
“no. You don’t have to worry about that at all. Because I’m not the kind of woman who swears by things like that. And at that time, I think the Han Cheon-seong cadets took care of me.”
“…thank you if you saw it that way.”
As I answered carefully, my heart was more relaxed.
Carly’s attitude toward me was more cautious than before, but it was clear from the look of her that I didn’t sound bad.
But it was unavoidable that I felt sorry for that sight.
‘I liked Carly, who spoke without hesitation.’
The excitement that I felt when he approached me without a sense of distance and talked lightly with a playful smile was still clear.
But now it seems to have disappeared. Carly’s charm was that unintentional approach, and now I can sense she’s clearly trying to distance herself from me.
Then she smiled softly, and yet I looked away.
“and. As for the place I’m going now, I’m sure the Hancheonseong cadets will like it.”
“Is it… my favorite place?”
“yes. In fact, you could say that it is a space that any academy cadet will love. Actually, I heard about Dalian yesterday, and I had a direct conversation with Han Cheon-seong. I want to do something for myself… To be honest, I’m giving preference to Hancheonseong cadets right now. Still, discrimination is taken for granted in the academy. It’ll be fine.”
Kali’s voice continued softly.
But the more I listened to it, the more doubts arose in my mind.
It was clear just now that she looked good on me.
An indirect word for favoritism. And that promise to do something sounded very subtle to me.
‘Where the hell are you going to say this?’
There was no room to guess right now.
You could just tell them where they’re going, but Carly doesn’t want to tell them right now.
Then Carly smiles a little, as if she was expecting me to be surprised… so that’s what I asked.
“then. I am very much looking forward to it.”
Still, if Kali was so stinky and talked about, it must have been a place worth it.
Once I got there, I thought I’d know.
“yes. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Seeing her smile a little naturally at my words, I laughed too.
‘Also.’
A beautiful woman was prettier when she smiled.

After re-entering the academy, Carly slowly led me through several secret spaces that only the instructor could enter.
It also took quite some time to get there.
After leaving the restaurant, I had to walk for almost 20 minutes to reach my destination.
shudder.
As I looked at the space that I had arrived at, I had to feel an indescribable shock.
“This place… .”
I couldn’t believe it even when I opened my mouth blankly.
A training room made entirely of blue. And various items that emit a mysterious light whose purpose is unknown.
All of that was unfamiliar, but ironically, I got a feeling.
Obviously it’s the first time I’ve seen them, but I know to some extent where they are used.
Yeah… I just had to know.
This is the protagonist of this world. It was a space that ‘Leonhardt’ would enter only in the middle of the novel.
When Leonhardt faced a formidable enemy and was in danger, this was the place that helped him get through it.
Right away… .
ㅡKali’s private training room.
To the extent that the protagonist’s correction exists until the very end. It was also a training room that Leonhard used with Kali’s permission.
“Cadet Han Cheon-seong. If you look inside this training room right now, you don’t know what it is, right?”
Looking at me surprised, Carly asks me as if I’m cute. I had no choice but to answer awkwardly for a moment.
“Ah, yes… it looks like a lot of strange things… it’s just amazing.”
I know a lot of magical engineering items that I have seen right now, but I shouldn’t have pretended to know them.
The cadets who entered this year visited this space,
It didn’t even make sense to know the items in this place.
Everything in this place was an item that Carly was able to obtain through active participation.
again.
Carly took a step inside and smiled brightly, pointing around.
“Actually, each and every item in this training room would be strange and surprising to the Hancheonseong cadets. Instead, they are very valuable items. Quite famous among the instructors… I’ll say it with my own words, but there are some expensive magic engineering items that only instructors who have performed well on the battlefield can apply for.”
Despite her age, Carly, who speaks a little proudly, looked a little cute for her age.
It’s as if he’s boasting about his belongings like an excited child, and I could express my honest admiration for that.
“Magic engineering items… It’s amazing.”
Knowing that these items exist, I’m not surprised either.
No, it was more surprising to know.
– Discrimination is rampant in the academy.
‘Discrimination’ is one of the key keywords of Groa’s novels.
And it wasn’t just the academy’s ‘cadets’.
Discrimination was evident even for instructors with very high positions in the academy. A high-ranking instructor would be treated better, and even an instructor who was active on the battlefield would be given more support than that in the Empire.
Kali’s performances on the battlefield are truly overwhelming.
It wouldn’t be strange at all if he received several expensive magic engineering items instead of one.
“Um… But what would be good for Hancheonseong cadets?”
As Carly looked at the various items around her and pondered, I felt my heart swell as I looked at her.
‘…Crazy.’
Even as I thought about the words I couldn’t put out of my mouth, my emotions were very excited.
Even the corners of my lips that were about to rise for a moment had to be suppressed.
I immediately understood what Carly was trying to do for me, or what kind of help she was trying to give me.
hey it’s not here Of course you have to know
What kind of training Leonhard did here, how he became strong, and how he was able to overcome crises and hardships.
And now. There was no law for me not to be strong like that Leonhard.
Even if the trait is common. It’s not impossible to be strong.
“If this is the first time using magic engineering items, cadets will need time to get used to it. I’m pretty worried too. I’m really sorry, cadet Han Cheonseong. Can you wait a minute?”
“It’s okay, it’s okay!”
As I opened my mouth, my voice suddenly trembled.
Today, than those moments when I was thrilled by Kali’s charm… Now my heart was beating like crazy.
pounding!
pounding!
It was a great opportunity I never thought of.
A pale green object emitting a strange light right now, or a strange gray gem the size of a finger. Or other than that, my heart showed no sign of calming down as I watched Kali tinkering with expensive magical engineering items.
What do you like in your mind? My mouth was itching to the point where I wanted to tell you directly, but I could never open my mouth.
Whatever Carly does for me, I have to accept it.
And that alone would not be enough for me, so it would be too much.
“Ah, this would be nice.”
Then, as Carly smiled as if she had finally made a decision, her gaze involuntarily turned to the pair of earrings in her hand.
It was a beautiful earring adorned with rubies.
‘What is that?’
It was my first time seeing it too.
What I really wanted was a light green object or one of two gray gems.
What she chose was a completely different magical engineering item.
And then Carly came over to me with a soft smile.
again.
again.
As the distance drew closer, I began to stare at her silently.
At that time, I waited patiently with the hope that I would explain it to you.
again.
…As the distance got closer than I thought, I felt as if my body had hardened.
“Cadet Han Cheon-seong. Excuse me for a moment.”
At her seductive voice that seemed to whisper in my ear,
pounding!
