Became an Academy Spearman

69. Apostolic Executioner Anastasia

***

next Tuesday.

As soon as I entered the classroom, I first checked David’s seat.

And, as usual, when David was there, I was able to put my mind at ease.

As I headed to the seat right next to me, David looked at me with a big smile.

“David. it’s okay?”

When I spoke first, David nodded as if it were natural.

“Then it’s fine. Don’t you even know how to report?”

“Still, I asked just in case. Anyway, I’m glad you’re okay.”

As soon as I sat in my seat, David looked fine on the outside.

“So Han Chun-seong, you said you won against Gerard yesterday?”

“right.”

“Then it’s very sad. I should have watched that sparring.”

I also laughed at the guy’s completely normal appearance.

In the aftermath of yesterday’s devastating loss in Dalian, I wondered what to do if I felt down or depressed, but that was for nothing.

“If you think about it that way, I should have let you fight first.”

“…That’s it. I also wanted to give him a shot. Of course, instead of getting a shot, I just got into trouble.”

When David scratched his cheek at the end of his speech, I didn’t look particularly bad.

‘Because it’s definitely a necessary experience to be crushed.’

Of course, it was a bit disappointing that the opponent was Gerard, but the fact that David didn’t give up even in that sparring will definitely be a great strength in the future.

Because I felt it right in my first sparring with Leonhardt.

How powerful willpower can be.

“David. Still, it seems that Instructor Carly thinks highly of you for not giving up until the end?”

“a. How could Instructor Carly rate me highly? I just endured to come, so what’s so great about that.”

“The majority of guys don’t even have that kind of comeback.”

Having said that, I really thought so.

The spirit of not giving up on anything is meaningful. In training one’s will, there is no stronger training than overcoming the desire to give up.

I was so furious at the time I didn’t think about it, but now I fully understand why Carly didn’t stop sparring.

Even so, it was funny to think of yesterday’s training session. Since I won the sparring with Gerard yesterday, there has been no cadet except for one who has sparred with me.

And after even one of them was defeated by me in vain, no one tried to confront me.

It’s not as easy as it sounds to face reality and be prepared to break.

“So, how about David?”

I thought and asked.

“What?”

“Is Gerard behaving like before?”

When I said something more direct, David let out a chuckle and shook his head.

“no. Guy Gerard, I don’t know if it’s because you hurt me yesterday, but your attitude has completely changed today.”

“okay?”

“Uh. They didn’t argue, they just stayed quiet.”

At that, I turned my head.

Gerard was seen not far away. Just looking at the exterior, it looks the same as usual. The most different thing was that their gaze was not directed towards us now.

‘I thought I should take a bigger punishment if I had even a bad feeling.’

I don’t know if my warning from yesterday was imprinted in my heart, but seeing that right now, Gerard didn’t have to care any more.

“Anyway, aside from that, Han Chun-seong.”

“uh. why?”

After answering with a straight head, David suddenly narrowed his eyes.

“hey. You… maybe…”

Suddenly, he spoke with a strange voice, then closed his mouth, and at that moment, I wondered why he was doing this.

“Perhaps. What?”

“Oh, no. It’s just nothing.”

“David. To speak, you must speak properly. What the hell did you want to ask?”

Even when asked repeatedly, David only smiled awkwardly.

As if I had misunderstood.

“no. just agar. I want you to be very popular.”

“What nonsense is that?”

“It’s just like that… that’s it. Now stop talking about me.”

Squeak.

at that time. Suddenly, the door to the classroom opened.

again. again.

As always, Carly showed up in the classroom at 9 o’clock, and all the cadets in the room held their breath.

And it was no different for me. I took a breath and straightened my posture.

‘Did the conversation go well with Adelia yesterday… ?’

Please, I prayed as if nothing happened between the two instructors.

Then inadvertently When I thought of Adelia’s violent body, I hurriedly shook my head.

Yesterday’s meeting was not well forgotten even the night before. Adelia’s destructive body was not something that would be easily forgotten… .

“…”

Then why at that moment?

Did Carly’s eyes meet? I couldn’t tell.

careless. Or her red eyes, which contained only coldness, did not even know what kind of emotion she had now.

“Everyone, take your seats.”

After hearing the resounding voice, I took out the textbook and swallowed.

ㅡA1 class classroom.

Time passed and the afternoon lecture was in progress.

“All of the students in the classroom now know that there are different factors for growth in the development of abilities, or what is called evolution, and that a strong will is required for such a foundation. In order to express such a will more firmly and strongly, it is necessary to have excellent concentration… … .”

At the words of Gebel, the A1 class instructor, most of the cadets concentrated on holding the strange blue barrel placed in front of them.

It was an auxiliary material named ‘Pavel’ that responded to the grip force and the size of the blue barrel would decrease and increase.

Now is the time to train your concentration while maintaining your grip strength at a certain level. If the grip control fails, the mana contained in the barrel will explode in small amounts, giving the cadet’s hand a slight pain.

“Kuk!”

“Wow!”

“Huh!”

like right now

The cries of pain from several cadets who failed to control their grips resonated throughout the classroom.

And as if that was natural, Gebel, the A1 class instructor, slowly moved between the cadets.

“Concentration is simple at first glance, but it is never simple. But if you want to train, you can train enough. Listen while focusing on the Pavel in your hand. Sensitively activating the senses and activating the mana energy latent in the body would be the best way to develop concentration.”

With those words continuing, Gebel slowly moved between the focused students.

that buck that buck

Even so, Gebel looked at the cadet’s face with mostly satisfaction.

Excluding the S class, which is assigned to the royal family and the highest ranking aristocrats, it could be said that this year’s class was a classroom with the best characteristics and talents in one place.

The cadets, each being like a shining star. The instructors who teach them are, of course, assigned as extraordinary beings.

Gebel was an officer who made great strides on the battlefield and was called a pillar that maintained the eastern front along with attribute level 9. Kali.

There were cadets that Gebel was particularly paying attention to.

“……”

“……”

The two men and women focused their eyes on Pavel without saying anything.

It was Leonhard and Glesia.

All of their bodies now have a soft blue light. It was proof that he was concentrating on his grip while holding Pavel, and at the same time handling mana.

‘Also.’

They think they’re worthy of attention, and they look right next to them.

A cadet with burning red hair and frowning eyes. Yumia, too, has a spark of energy different from Mana’s that hovers over her whole body, and shines with a brilliant talent no less than theirs.

‘I can put my hopes on these three cadets this year.’

S-class cadets don’t show up easily, so in fact, they had to be seen as the most prominent in the early days of the academy.

And the cadets who stand out in the beginning usually stand out until the end.

He walked between them and spoke again.

“The Pavel training currently being conducted is almost like the training required for cadets who hope to be officers who are about to graduate. In a battlefield where every minute and every second is imminent, you have to make decisions every time, and it is because you need strong concentration to face the monsters. And even if you don’t stand on the battlefield, if your concentration is strong, it will be of great help in many fields.”

When I moved like that.

“…!”

At that moment, I saw Cadet Glessia biting her lip. His concentration was disrupted and he seemed to feel pain from Pavel.

‘Does it distract me from talking about the battlefield?’

While thinking about it, I thought it was a strange cadet.

Now, 98% of the students in this A1 class were all from aristocrats. All of them could be said to be descendants of a famous family, or even a low-ranking family with a long history.

However, only Cadet Glessia was an exception. Cadet Glessia belonged to a very unusual environment.

To see Glesia cadets as commoners. Even that was really funny.

Regardless of her personal characteristics, talents, or qualities, the family ties with her now were like top secret.

It was a request within the academy to ensure that no one other than the direct instructor in charge could read it.

‘That famous apostolic executioner. I never thought Anastasia’s younger sister would be a Glesia cadet…’

When I first checked it, I had no idea how surprised I was.

The great axis of the western battlefield. An officer who showed an overwhelming performance to the extent that it was said that a single officer was in charge of one-third of the total force.

[Apostle Executioner]

ㅡAnastasia.

To see her as a commoner without a family name, she was like an officer whose nobility ceremony had already been confirmed. She has not returned to the Empire, and the ceremony of conferring the title has been delayed over and over again.

‘Perhaps even if you take it as a minimum, Countess. Maybe I’ll be given the title of Marquis.’

Blocking a front line alone for many years was a gigantic achievement that the Empire had no choice but to acknowledge her.

Moreover, her nickname was ‘Apostle Executioner’.

ㅡ Apostle.

Among the monsters, monsters that were classified as super-dangerous were called apostles.

And the strength of the apostles was the biggest reason why the front line was sluggish.

Even seasoned officers who have been on the battlefield for years, who can be called core forces, are subjugated, and apostles who are unsure of their fate continue to appear, while the number of experienced officers gradually decreases.

in that situation. Anastasia killed so many apostles and posted an outstanding record… Even I, who was on the other fronts, was familiar with her reputation.

I took a step and suddenly checked the time.

Time beyond 3:00 PM. It was time to finish the lecture.

“Today’s lecture will end here. If there are cadets who want to be more immersed in training, you can hold the Pavel and continue training until 5:00 pm.”

Even though it clearly signaled the end of the lecture. no one got up

Everyone is focusing on the Pavel in their hands and focusing on training.

“…”

Seeing it, I smiled without knowing it.

As expected, the future of this empire, its future, had to be seen as depending on the class A cadets here.

The mindset itself was different from that of the lower cadets.

drooling.

Then, when a cadet stood up, my eyes went to him without realizing it.

A calm expression under the blue hair.

again.

The cadet who picked up Pavel and brought it back to its original position was none other than the cadet of Glesia.

“Instructor. Thank you for the lecture.”

“…okay. Cadet Glessia also suffered a lot today.”

I came to see the Glesia cadet leaving the classroom even a little bit at once, even though he was answering without hesitation.

‘What the hell is going on?’

The cadet who was most absorbed in the lecture was the cadet of Glesia. Today, strangely, I was the first to get up from my seat.

“…”

A car that caught my eye for a while.

*

Conversely, Glesia, who left the classroom, was thinking strongly.

“With this kind of training, I can never reach my sister.”

for me too

Han Chun-seong, I needed that man.

The only man who made me see my sister’s shadow.

timely. Today was the day to meet Han Chun-seong.
