100. protagonist and main character

***

“Leonhard. A cadet in that park. Isn’t it agar?”

“Agar-seong?”

At Yumia’s sudden words, Leonhard turned his head blankly and looked at the park.

I saw a park bench in the distance. The outlines of the two cadets were vaguely visible. From the black cadet uniform that symbolizes C class cadets to the characteristic black hair. Although it was from the back, it definitely looked like Agar Castle.

“It looks like he’s with another woman.”

“…Probably a cadet in the same class.”

While answering, I was filled with strong curiosity.

Strange rumors about Han Chun-seong hit the Class A classroom today.

An unbelievable rumor that Han Chun-seong caught a clue about his skill. The other cadets all spoke in disbelief, and I thought that rumors about skills were just absurd rumors.

No matter how talented Han Chun-seong is, it is common sense to find clues to skills at level 4, so it is impossible to understand at all.

However.

Afterwards, I was able to hear from Instructor Avalanche, who entered the classroom, whether the rumors were true or not.

—-The rumors you heard are true. They say Han Chun-seong got a clue about the skill. I too was able to believe it only after hearing the story directly from Instructor Carly.

The false rumors… the instructor himself revealed that they were true.

My heart was disturbed even when I saw Hancheonseong from afar.

Now I’m at the stage where I’m getting clues to the next level. Far beyond my expectations, Han Chun-seong was already standing in front of me.

“Leonhard. It was a coincidence that I came to see Han Chun-seong, so shall we go and ask?”

When Yumia showed her curiosity, her heart was greatly shaken.

However, he soon shook his head.

“It could be that we’re just interfering.”

“That’s it, if you go and talk, you’ll find out. If we’re interfering, we’ll just have to get out of the way again, so wouldn’t it be okay if we just chatted lightly? To be honest, I still can’t believe it. Is it really possible to find a clue to a skill at level 4 of a trait… .”

Even Yumia, who used to be indifferent about Han Chun-seong, now shows such great interest.

…And I, too, wanted to see it with my own eyes.

I had a lot of dubious feelings about whether Han Chun-seong was recording such an amazing growth, and whether it was really possible.

“Leonhard. you are curious too Let’s just go and have a chat.”

snap.

Let Yumia hold my arm and lead me. I couldn’t deny it.

“Agar Castle. hi?”

When Yumia greeted her brightly, Han Chun-seong crossed her eyes and blinked before opening her mouth.

“…okay. Yumia and Leonhard are also with me. What are you guys doing in the park?”

“That’s because I happened to see you while passing by.”

Upon hearing my words, Han Chun-seong looked at me curiously.

It sounds funny to me, but it was true. On the way, Yumia found Hancheonseong, and we are now approaching to talk like this.

again.

at that time. Yumia smiled and took a step closer.

“So agar. Who’s the cadet with you now? If possible, could you introduce yourself first?”

“okay. First of all, it’s not the same class as me. It’s a cadet I got to know while undergoing C-class characteristic training. Her name is Karite.”

Saying that, Han Chun-seong cautiously pointed at the female student, and a woman with sky-blue hair carefully looked at us as if hiding behind Han Chun-seong.

For a moment, the sight itself just amazed me.

“This is because Karite is a bit shy…”

When Han Chun-seong awkwardly spoke for her, I took it lightly.

“no. are you okay. It could be because we came so suddenly.”

‘Karite.’

He carefully brought out the words while engraving the woman’s name in his memory.

“Agar Castle. I’m sorry, but can we talk for a minute?”

“now… ?”

“Oh, now. Yes, there is something I really want to check. It really only takes a moment.”

Even as he spoke, he couldn’t help but give Karite an apologetic look.

I don’t know why I’m with Han Chun-seong right now, but it’s true that I interrupted them.

Fortunately, Karite responded to my gaze.

“…Agar Castle. I’m okay. We can talk.”

“Are you really okay?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

“…then I understand.”

Upon receiving that answer, I looked at Yumia as it was.

When we made eye contact with a little earnest meaning, Yumia burst out laughing as if it was absurd for a moment.

“ha. I know what you really want. So, don’t look at Leonhard that way.”

“thank you. Then I’ll ask you a little.”

“okay. Instead, I will speak to you directly. You know that, right?”

“okay. I’ll make time.”

As Yumia naturally approached Karite, we suddenly split into two groups.

Because I wanted to talk to Han Chun-seong. It was arranged that Yumia would spend a short time with a female student named Karite.

again.

As Yumia and Karite slowly moved away with light footsteps, I looked at the castle as it was.

“Leonhard. What are you talking about?”

Despite the calm question, I was rather strange.

‘I don’t feel that much has changed.’

I thought that Han Chun-seong would have made tremendous progress because he had found clues to his skills. Even if you look closely, nothing much has changed in appearance.

“It’s nothing else, it’s about the rumors about you right now.”

“Rumors about me?”

Seeing Han Chun-seong’s frowning face, I explained the main point.

“It’s not a bad rumor, it’s because I heard a rumor that’s a little hard to believe. After meeting you like this, I want to hear from you directly. I’ll tell you directly. Rumor has it that you have now found a clue to your skill. Is that true?”

Even though I already know the answer, I’ve been asking about the truth.

It was so unbelievable that I couldn’t help but ask.

“If even you have heard rumors about me… To answer the question, yes. The rumors are true.”

I was speechless at the sight of Han Chun-seong calmly acknowledging it.

‘It was true.’

While thinking blankly, I unknowingly grabbed my hand.

I wanted to ask how the heck did he find the clue to the skill and if it was possible. My lips didn’t come off at all.

“Then you came to see me to confirm the rumor?”

“…I didn’t come here for nothing. It’s true that we met by chance. But somehow I wanted to confirm the rumors. Still, thank you for answering me like this.”

While answering, I felt like I was blown away.

When I encountered the truth in person, the shock I felt was different.

It was as if my heart had gone blank for a moment. Suddenly, the words I heard in the past shimmered in my ears.

ㅡ dear son. I don’t know how high your characteristics may come out, but you can definitely say that you are a genius as much as you have talent. I mean, that’s a really rare talent. But there are no geniuses in this world. It means you shouldn’t be arrogant.

Master’s voice spoke to me as if it were a habit. I thought I wasn’t conceited then.

Because I looked at myself from a position befitting my strength and did not discriminate against others.

…By the way.

I felt as if Master’s words had touched my heart only now.

The genius in this world, of course, thought it was not just me.

So, there are definitely existences that go beyond me. When I experienced it like this now, the feeling was completely different.

“Leonhard? Why are you so blank all of a sudden?”

Then, at the words of Han Chun-seong, a blank laugh leaked out. However, that too shook its head within a moment.

“It’s just… a little surprising. Han Chun-seong, I knew that your talent was outstanding, but even so, I would have thought it would be such an amazing talent that I could have already mastered your skills. Anyway, congratulations.”

Even as I handed over my congratulations, my empty heart was hardly filled.

And I came to see the Han Chunseong in front of me.

As a common characteristic, it was shining so brightly that it reflected its own presence. So I even assumed an impossible situation.

‘what if… … .’

If Han-Chan-Sung is given a higher non-common trait, then… . How much stronger can Han Chun-seong shine than now?

“Thank you for saying that. But when you say it’s a talent, I feel very strange. The word talent comes out of your mouth.”

“…is that weird?”

“Is it strange? It’s really strange. After all, it’s all thanks to you that I got clues about my skills in the first place.”

It seemed that the accident had stopped for a moment.

‘I thought I had a clue to get the skill?’

I involuntarily opened my mouth.

“Agar Castle. What do you mean?”

“There were so many things I felt in my sparring with you. And among them, I had a really strong thought that I shouldn’t stay like this. Looking back, that thought became a big opportunity for me to realize my skills.”

Listening to the words that came out of my mouth, my mind was just blank.

And the couplets that Chunseong Han was talking about, I didn’t know how much I remembered that time.

If I had been careful

If I had looked at the situation more calmly,

If I had been a little more wary of Agar Castle… .

Thinking back then, I had a lot of regrets.

It was a match that I was able to win enough, and it made me look back at the mindset I had.

By the way.

…The Dalian seems to have been accepted with a completely different meaning.

ㅡI thought that I couldn’t stay like this.

I couldn’t fully understand what Han Chun-seong meant.

However, I instinctively understood the big picture of what the words meant.

“…Agar Castle. You saw the next one.”

“next?”

“okay. While I will continue to regret the past couplets. You were watching… the next one.”

As I was speaking, a completely different accident came to mind.

Perhaps Han Chun-seong, like me, thought of winning the last match. But I could be sure that he didn’t regret it as much as I did.

Compared to what I regretted while looking back on the past, Han Chun-seong would rather face the next thing.

yourself to become stronger. After that, he put all his efforts into thinking about himself who would be further developed.

“……”

Thinking about it, a laugh leaked out for no reason.

‘different.’

It was definitely different from me.

Compared to what I regretted while looking back on the part I needed to improve on and my mindset, the way I thought of Han Chun-seong was different.

“ha.”

He sighed heavily and nodded his head.

The deep emotions that have risen in the heart disappear in vain as if they are blown away by the wind, and refreshingness fills the empty space.

“…I think I saw the way from you.”

As I speak, how should I be strong? It seemed that he had seen the way.

***

that buck again.

The sound of the two different footsteps slowly fades away.

The nature of watching Leonhard and Yumia moving away was rather complicated in his head.

A conversation with Leonhard last time.

The guy continued to utter nonsense out of nowhere, and then he looked like he had a realization.

‘You saw the way forward from me?’

No matter how many times I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out what kind of nonsense that was.

Leonhardt was the main character of this world. I mean, he shouldn’t have looked the way for me.

He has to go his own way… .

“…Agar?”

“uh. Karite.”

“You were close with the class A cadets too.”

I awkwardly nodded as I watched Karite relax after the two disappeared.

“I’m not that close…”

I felt that among the class A students, there were few people I could understand anymore.

Rather, I think Yumia, who treats me bluntly, will be easier to understand than Leonhardt and Glesia…

It really felt like that.
