Became an Academy Spearman

***

Watching Kali standing leisurely, she slams the ground as it is.

ㅡ!

At the same time, it felt like my heart was standing on the tip of a sword.

A strange feeling as if it would fall into the abyss as it is if it twists even once.

sense of crisis. alertness. A feeling that can be called anything fills up and wraps around my heart strongly.

ㅡ! ㅡ! ㅡ!

It moves around Kali as if it were moving by lightly spurting the ground.

There is nothing as foolish as that of an overwhelming power difference, but a straight-forward attack with no variables.

So I’m looking for variables.

Now, no matter what I think about encountering that sword, I can’t think of any good results. However, it is impossible for me to dodge that sword and stab Kali with a spear.

In a word. It was close to impossible.

Then, the conclusion was drawn that we should avoid confrontation head-on as much as possible.

“…”

Even so, Carly only gave me a glance around me, and didn’t show any movement.

It also clearly looks at me with eyes full of pride and arrogance.

I could feel it involuntarily.

When I truly have the confidence I always felt I should have. How is it expressed and expressed outwardly?

It was Carly who had real confidence.

You can convey that confidence to others just by looking at them.

Just meeting those gazes without realizing it… It felt like my heart would break a little.

“Cadet Han Cheon-seong. You won’t be able to catch my attention at this rate.”

Then tuk Carly smiled as she spoke, and as I circled around her, a smirk leaked out without me even realizing it.

At first glance it sounds like they’re saying I’m slow, but that’s not looking down at me right now.

ㅡ faster.

As if to move more agilely and grab her attention, she was stimulating me now.

So I accepted it right away. He cleared his mind and dispersed the mana he had concentrated on the spear a little to focus more on his legs.

No matter how strong you are right now, if you can’t reach it, it’s meaningless.

Naturally, I increased my speed by paying attention to the footwork of stepping on the ground once, once.

Faster, so that the other person’s gaze pays more attention to my movements, even a little.

As before, an attack in the form of pouring a series of shots is unthinkable.

How can I face that vibrating sword?

Now, he had to carry out an attack in the form of slashing as if it were flowing.

and that first number.

Shhh!

The spear that cut through the air was completely different from before.

The spear that cut through the air without any resistance was straight. The spear engulfed in blue mana drew a huge half-moon at once, and where the tip of the spear headed, Kali’s head was present.

Then, her hand moves.

ㅡㅡㅡ!

Concentrating on the extreme, he looked at the trajectory of the vibrating sword.

And no matter how I try to get out of that orbit, my spear, too, could not completely escape from the sword.

Chaechachachachachaeng!

The moment the sword and the spear met. A strange friction sound, as if they had met dozens of times, struck his ear at once.

Almost instinctively, he spurted the ground and widened the distance from her.

Rumble!

Both hands holding the spear were trembling incessantly.

He forcibly restrains it and slams the ground again.

ㅡ!

This time, she rotates her body as if it sweeps down, and at the same time cuts the spear as if cutting Kali’s ankle.

And I could see.

Just standing there still. The figure of Kali lowering her vibrating sword lightly.

ㅡㅡㅡ!!

Chaechachachachachachaeng!!

A heavy load followed the hand holding the spear with a more severe fricative than before.

Now I am in a position with strong power due to a large rotation. And to put a variable, the moment’s step was very unstable.

Of course, it was an attack that had no choice but to decrease safety, and the result of that encounter was … disastrous.

Clap! I’m sorry… !

The spear that had left my hand was scattered on the ground to the point where it was futile, and a strange sound was heard.

And the left hand of the aftermath shook too loudly.

“…”

Without hesitation, he jumped straight to pick up the spear, and no words came out.

No more laughter and nervous mind, all of that disappeared.

‘I wonder if I was arrogant.’

Maybe I didn’t properly engage in this battle.

Is he still giving his subordinates with Elimien’s consideration as if he was giving him a handicap?

No, it wasn’t all of that.

This is now my sincerity and strength.

I’d rather have the stupid thought of how good it would have been if I hadn’t done my best.

After only two encounters, I fully realized it.

Shrek.

He bit his lip as he raised the window again.

‘Come now… something new.’

really… . It was really stupid.

I had definitely made up my mind just yesterday in Dalian.

It’s okay if your heart breaks, and it’s okay to lose. okay. I certainly thought so.

And now, of course, everyone knows that I can’t beat Kali of course in this match.

I knew better than anyone that I had no jaw.

By the way. Now, I felt like I was faced with a proper ‘reality’.

It’s not the difference between her and me. reality.

It’s just so miserable and miserable… this reality.

Even how small and weak my power in this world was… I felt like I was facing it right now.

Shrek!

Even as he gripped the spear even more strongly, he suppressed the sigh that was about to burst out.

‘This is… who I am now.’

I tried hard to accept reality. It didn’t come as easily as I thought.

A common trait, the limits of my spear skills. The result is so naked that it penetrates into my heart and into my vision.

The iron spear I was holding was so crude… it was nothing more than a fleeting cold weapon.

overwhelming characteristics. In addition, it is infinitely helpless and powerless against opponents with characteristics that do not match.

A dramatic result like the match against Leonhardt yesterday, a miracle-like result of a draw through struggle and propaganda… It was just a miracle.

The result is that all the circumstances are nothing more than luckily intertwined.

“Cadet of Hancheonseong.”

Then, at the sound of the noise, he shook his head.

There, Kali, who erased the vibrations of the sword, was looking at me.

He didn’t even laugh at me for missing out on a weapon a while ago, and how it feels to fight. Nothing caught his eye.

He just stares at me with a calm and calm gaze.

“…don’t blame yourself.”

and in the words that followed. I didn’t let my mouth drop for a moment.

Now… I wasn’t blaming myself.

just accept the reality.

“And I don’t want you to be weak-minded by thinking about your own characteristics.”

But I couldn’t help but be startled by the words that followed.

…Carly was speaking as if through my mind.

“Right now, Dalian is not something that is very important to Han Cheon-seong cadets. Before the fight, I told the Han Cheon-seong cadets that I would help them by confronting them with a sword, but in reality, it was just a display of my one-sided character. So, don’t try to attach any meaning to this battle, and don’t try to find it. I just wanted to try it out. How strong the will of the Hancheonseong cadets who accepted the battle with the cadets with legendary characteristics. And it might be really good…”

Carly continued her speech with a hint of regret at the end.

It’s as if this fight was like that from the beginning. It doesn’t seem to mean anything… .

“no. it’s okay.”

I spoke quietly, and I had a faint smile on my face.

My heart, which had swelled up just when I was wearing magic engineering items, completely subsided.

But it was funny to blame others for it, and it was just stupid to lament my character.

You just have to accept the reality. I just accepted it now.

again.

Kali, who lowered her sword, slowly approached me.

And looking at it… I took a deep breath.

“I can assure you. The Hancheonseong cadets are strong now. Based on the cadets who entered this year, there will be very few cadets who can beat the Hancheonseong cadets with Dalian.”

Immediately after, at the words that came out of her mouth, a smirk leaked out without even realizing it.

‘what… .’

What the hell is my strength?

It cannot be said that the battle with her a while ago was a competition. It was nothing more than a horribly broken stone like an egg had been pounded on a rock.

The difference in attribute level.

and the differences in their characteristics.

Even considering all that, I felt that way.

Kali would have been able to subdue me very lightly without using her talents.

While I was thinking, Carly approached me.

again.

“……”

And she stood in front of me and still looked up at me with a sorry gaze.

Minor difference in height between each other.

As a result, a strange feeling was felt between the eyes that met each other.

Defeat of Dalian right now was not a problem.

It was important that something completely different from what I felt I had lost to Leonhardt yesterday had a big knock on my heart.

Now I am convinced that no matter what I do, I will never reach Carly. It felt deep in my heart.

It was as if the wall of reality had come close to me.

I thought I could accept reality, but the truth is, maybe I took it too lightly.

The difference in characteristics and the walls that cannot be narrowed were felt beyond time.

No matter how hard I put in my time and effort, I felt like I was facing a wall that I would never reach.

“Cadet Han Cheon-seong. Now, no matter what cadets are, they will never reach me. Even the Han Cheon-seong cadets know that… well, right?”

After that, I slowly nodded my head.

Ironically, I was being comforted by Carly.

To see a mere cadet being comforted by an instructor, how wretched is it?

And after you said that you would face reality, when you face reality in person, your heart breaks a little.

I felt sorry for myself.

Shrek. You caress my face blankly, but I can see what I look like. I didn’t know.

“Cadet Han Cheon-seong. sorry. I’m sorry.”

Then, as soon as she apologized, I quickly shook my head.

“no. Instructor. If you say that, I’m even more embarrassed. There’s nothing to apologize for, is it?”

I don’t know why Carly cares so much about me, but it didn’t make sense to apologize anyway.

She’s apologizing when she has nothing to apologize for.

I couldn’t accept it.

“I was overdoing it. What kind of thoughts did I have to even develop my traits to compete with the cadets… Thinking about it now, I have a lot of regrets. No matter how strong and strong a cadet may be and face reality… I just think I’m overdoing it.”

I shook my head over and over again at the sight of Carly who said that she was exaggerating.

That wasn’t it.

If she had only dealt with me with her sword, the outcome of this battle would not have been much different.

just. Now using the character. I just felt the reality more deeply.

So, looking at Carly now, I felt more sorry for her.

Match!

Instantly, with a hand that did not hold the spear, he slapped my cheek hard enough to make a loud noise.

“Cadet Hancheonseong!?”

When Carly was taken aback by the untimely self-abuse, I was able to laugh again at the stinging pain.

“I am fine. I don’t know what kind of expression I was making, but I’m okay. It wasn’t that I thought I wouldn’t be defeated by this match, but because I knew how great Instructor Kali was. And I thought it would be better to lose big if we were to lose.”

stupid mind.

Now the words seemed to come out.

…to face reality and not avoid it.

In the future, this will happen more and more frequently.

Even if they are not instructors with ridiculous powers like Carly, there are some cadets with special characteristics among the same cadets.

Every time I break my heart like I do now, it’s just ugly and funny.

“Instructor Carly. I would like to ask you again.”

So.

…I need to break even harder now.

Realizing that my heart had been broken a little, I needed to be broken dozens more times today.

“Cadet Han Cheon-seong… … .”

Seeing Kali blankly calling my name, I activated my mana again.

Carly, who looked at me for a moment, smiled softly and slowly opened up the distance, and her heart was strong.

‘I’m meeting you.”

that i lose

and this reality.

Now I was only in the first stage of getting started.

okay. Now it’s just the beginning.

If we could just stand up and face each other again, that would be it.

‘so.’

It doesn’t matter how much you bend now.

All of this is just in the process of growing up.

“Now the eyes of a cadet Hancheonseong. I like it quite a bit.”

Hearing Kali’s words, I involuntarily smiled.
