Became an Academy Spearman

Chapter 22

***

“This is the end of Dalian.”

Leonhardt smiled brightly as he lowered the sword that competed against Hancheonseong’s neck.

Han Cheon-seong also burst out a small laugh at that sight.

At that time, both of them smiled brightly. Suddenly, Han Cheon-seong opened his mouth.

“After all, is it a draw?”

At the untimely words of Han Cheon-seong, Leonhard blinked his eyes instead of smiling.

“…a draw?”

This match was clearly his victory.

The energy of the Changcheon One Sword was wrapped around his body and moved at an unimaginable speed. And at the end of it, the sword was aimed at Hancheonseong’s neck.

There was no need to hurt. Because the fight is over.

I have no intention of flaunting or showing off the results of the match. It was difficult to understand the appearance of Han Cheon-seong, who gave false information.

“Hancheonseong. What do you mean?”

When asked without understanding, Han Cheon-seong smiled slowly and looked down.

“Leonhard. Can’t you see this window?”

Leonhardt followed him, staring blankly at the window, but did not understand.

the tip of a sharp spear blade.

The place where the tip was headed was near the center of his chest. It stopped about the span of a hand.

“When… .”

Seeing Leonhard’s questioning expression as if it was hard to believe, Nature slowly retrieved the spear he had been fighting against.

It was as if Leonhardt had retrieved the sword that was leisurely fighting his neck a while ago. The way he retrieved the spear was also very relaxed.

good.

Han Cheon-seong, who turned the spear and recovered it lightly, burst into laughter at the sight of the dumb Leonhard.

“Leonhard. Do you know why snakes are scary?”

And he uttered completely nonsensical things.

“snake?”

“It’s a snake. When they attack by surprise while hiding in the bushes. Or when they attack you when you never even thought of it. It’s really scary. But what if the snake encounters on a flat plain or in a place where everything is exposed where there are no bushes. Actually, snakes aren’t that scary.”

As the sound of catching floating clouds continued, Leonhard frowned, then realized.

I understood what Han Cheonseong was trying to say.

‘…and then.’

After Dalian started, he also flashed memories of how Han Cheonseong had pushed him all the way. But at some point, it was overlooked.

Han Cheon-seong, who had been on the offensive as if burning his body, had a peculiar look throughout Dalian.

If I try to force the distance to close. His eyes filled with enthusiasm as if he wanted to immortalize Donggwijin.

And I felt the same way about Hancheonseong I was looking at now.

conjoined.

A strange feeling as if he had stopped for a moment before choosing it. I thought at the same time.

That time when I rushed in with the energy of the Changcheon One Sword.

‘what if… .’

If Han Cheonseong could stretch out the spear at my speed.

Even though it’s a really absurd assumption– that thought suddenly came to mind.

‘Then you could hold me back.’

Han Cheon-seong’s words sounded like that.

Because it sounded like a surprise attack with a spear hidden like a snake.

However.

‘No way.’

That sounded like nonsense.

“I could barely feel you rushing after me.”

At that moment, words came directly from the mouth of Hancheonseong. Even with my blank gaze, Han Cheon-seong smiled and gently shook his head.

“But he said he couldn’t put out the window.”

“You can’t stretch out. If I had stabbed the spear, it would have been over… … .”

I replied blankly, but I didn’t understand.

That means he could win, but it seemed like he didn’t win.

And if you stab me with a spear. I’d probably just get hit.

I couldn’t deny that I was careless for that moment.

“It’s over. Yes, it must be as you say. But it wasn’t that simple.”

I think I was really able to cope with the appearance of Han Cheon-seong, who continued to speak… I felt like I was being stabbed.

Han Cheon-seong’s performance when he rose to the 4th level was definitely impressive. As well as putting mana on the spear, his physical ability increased. Even more in-depth creative use.

It was as if he was dealing with a completely different person as he had risen so much that it could not be compared with before.

So even though I reached level 3, I couldn’t be vigilant at all.

‘Cause I’ve been working with almost all my energy.

By the way. That was it.

I have never painted a picture of my defeat in this battle, arguably, even for a moment.

What Han Cheon-seong struggles for and what propaganda. Admitting that, he didn’t look down on me. So I thought I was going to win.

power I have. Because I don’t underestimate my skills.

“Leonhard. If I had just stabbed you with a spear, you would surely have died. And it would be the same as I would have been hit by your sword. So I couldn’t open the window. No matter how much an instructor is observing, at that moment. I wasn’t sure that the fight was going to stop.”

A momentary laugh leaked out at the detailed explanation of nature’s words.

…Something. It felt futile.

I feel like everything I thought was twisted.

I admit it, but he has already exceeded my expectations.

“Hancheonseong. How the heck did you manage to react to the speed of the Changchun Swordsman?”

“Rather than react. I was just guessing.”

“Are you guessing?”

“Ah, that’s it. It might sound a little… weird. It just felt like that…”

I didn’t open my mouth any more at the sight of him laughing awkwardly and muttering his words.

Han Cheon-seong, who spoke, was sincere and did not seem to be telling lies.

And the person I saw called Han Cheon-seong was not even a person who could tell a lie.

So I realized

This match is practically.

ㅡIt’s my defeat.

After being granted the Legendary trait, while focusing on training, I never expected that I would suffer defeat so quickly.

That was… more shocking than expected.

jerk.

again.

Then when I heard footsteps, I blankly turned my head.

Among the cadets who are slowly scattering.

The group was approaching.

Glacia and Yumia. And even the Avalanche Training Instructor.

“From the first match… I didn’t expect to see such a great match.”

Even though the instructor smiled softly and said, I just smiled squeaky.

“no.”

“You don’t have to be too humble. Although the match ended in a draw. Because it was really great stuff. Two cadets in Dalian achieve the evolution of traits at the same time. It’s really hard to see. Leonhardt’s cadets and… Han Cheon-seong’s cadets are both worthy of recognition.”

Even though the instructor spoke as if cheering him on, he didn’t feel good at all.

…a bitter heart and an empty heart at the same time.

And I felt that I still lacked a lot.

He wasn’t arrogant, he acknowledged his opponent properly and thought he was fighting the battle.

Actually it wasn’t.

‘Did I unconsciously look down at Hancheonseong?’

If you really look at them equally. I would have thought it right one more time.

The assumption that Han Cheon-seong might be able to respond to one single move of my Changcheon One Sword… .

If so, he would have chosen to face the sword more carefully, and he would have struck the spear in order to achieve a sure victory.

When I realized that, only laughter leaked out.

“…great job. Hancheonseong.”

Then, when he heard a calm voice, his gaze went away involuntarily.

There, I saw Glecia approaching Hancheonseong.

Long blue hair down to the waist and a mysterious appearance. Contrary to her usual blunt appearance, her face was very strange.

seeing it for the first time. His expression was completely different from before.

“okay. I suffered.”

Han Cheon-seong laughed at her words, but for a moment, Glacier smiled softly.

That look… … .

It caught my eye strangely enough.

jerk.

“Leonhard…! it’s okay? No injuries anywhere!?”

As Yumia hurriedly approached her, she smiled awkwardly and looked away.

“it’s okay. As you can see, neither me nor nature have any wounds.”

Even telling the truth, I felt strange.

…and I came to realize this Dalian again.

It wasn’t a match between me and Hancheonseong. It was a Dalian that many people saw and felt.

All about the results and the process.

It felt like it was beating my chest.

The victory and defeat of this battle that I thought I would not be concerned about.

Lately it caught on to me.

***

The match ended in a draw.

With a miraculous result, he could not be defeated.

“……”

As Han Cheon-seong recalled that fact, a strange smile leaked out.

Now that I broke up with everyone after leaving the Class A training camp. I was a little dazed as I headed back to the dormitory where I was staying.

“There are no real scammers.”

It was a self-deprecating laugh.

I gained so much from the match against Leonhardt.

Attribute 4 level.

Even just one thing right now makes me feel like I’m flying in the sky.

It will become of immeasurable material value and will become my reputation and strength.

However, the fact that the result was a draw was still in my heart.

‘It would have been neat if I ended up losing.’

I felt like I should have lost.

That battle should have ended with my defeat.

But at the end of the last, I. He showed absurd behavior.

Leonhardt’s habit. I don’t know what he will do in the future.
