Became an Academy Spearman

71. said friend…

“…I’m sorry, Instructor, but for a moment. I’ll talk to you.”

“There’s nothing to be sorry about. It looks like you came to Cadet Han Chun-seong yourself.”

Carly’s voice was noticeably colder than before, so I immediately moved on.

that buck

Even as I approached Glesia, who was looking at me from outside the classroom, I had doubts.

‘Why are you here?’

The time for the appointment would not be now, but even the meeting place was not in front of my classroom.

That’s how I left the classroom and faced Glesia.

“Glesia. what happened all of a sudden They come to see me like this.”

When I spoke first, Glesia looked at me blankly.

It seemed like my words were strange.

“If I come to you… can’t you?”

And when he asked me back in strange words, I could feel the hesitation of the cadet passing by.

…At that moment, I laughed awkwardly and shook my head.

“No, it’s not that you shouldn’t come to me, it’s because other people might feel confused when they see us.”

Strictly speaking. Glesia and I were not at all in a relationship that could be called a romantic relationship.

A day we spent together last Sunday. At the end, the words Glesia said while looking at me made me feel a great confusion, but I passed it off thinking that Glesia’s way of speaking was just strange.

But now I felt it again.

Glessia’s way of speaking is easy to misunderstand, no matter who sees it.

“Why do you think other people get confused when I’m with you?”

Even now, it seemed that he shouldn’t have a long conversation with Glesia, who was still questioning him with a transparent gaze.

It felt visceral.

“Anyway, other people can misunderstand the relationship between you and me. To put it bluntly, there is plenty of room for us to be seen as lovers or similar.”

This time, he really spoke to Glesia openly.

If you keep saying that, other people might mistake us for lovers.

It was also a time when I felt the need to properly respond to the Glesia method.

‘And I don’t know if this will be okay.’

Although I had left the classroom, I could feel Carly’s gaze.

Then wouldn’t it be okay to establish a proper relationship between Glesia and me at this moment when she is looking at me?

If I entered the training room with Carly today, it was clear that she would definitely question me about my relationship with Glesia.

It was close to 100%, since Kali should be considered to hate romance between students.

“Agar Castle. But I’m not… a lover… with you.”

When Glesia answered with a little embarrassment, I naturally nodded.

“right. We’re not lovers. We’re just friends.”

Even talking about it, it was a bit strange.

ㅡ friend.

Wouldn’t the relationship between me and Glesia have become something worthy of being called friends? Of course, our mutual interests are intertwined, so it’s like meeting like this, but now we seemed to be able to call ourselves friends.

“……”

Glesia blinked blankly and looked at me.

It’s a reaction that seems so surprised by my words, but I wonder if I said such a strange thing.

“Glesia?”

“……yes.”

Significantly slower response than before. For a moment, I wonder if she will deny that we are not friends. asked quickly.

“Then why did you come to me like this? Are you in a hurry?”

First, I had to figure out why she came to me.

“It is not urgent. Just because today is the day I meet you. As soon as the lecture is over… I came to see you.”

“They came to see me… … .”

Her words surprised me this time.

‘Really… is he not aware of his words at all?’

I nailed my relationship with Glesia.

ㅡWe are friends.

Even so, Glesia’s way of talking to me really didn’t change at all.

If I said that, how would I feel, would Glessia really not feel it? .

“…Wow. It is very direct.”

“I know.”

Even now, the girl passing by us seemed to have misunderstood us. He let out a small sigh and looked at Glesia.

“Thank you so much for coming to see me. I’m sorry though I also have an appointment today. I must spend time with Instructor Carly… .”

Glesia refused to come to see me, but I didn’t know why I felt remorse.

I didn’t do anything wrong to her. I was sorry even as I spoke.

“okay? If there was a prior agreement, I knew it. Because I came here suddenly. So… are we going to see each other at 6?”

At my words, Glesia said with a blank expression… Seeing Glesia like that made me feel more sorry for no reason.

Emotions were evident on her face.

Because I didn’t suit him… his eyes seemed sad and sad.

“I’ll see you at 6 o’clock. See you at the park we met last time. Until then, I will be able to finish it.”

“okay. Then I… I’ll be on my way. Han Chun-seong, see you then.”

I looked at Glesia passing me like that and nodded.

again.

While looking at the slowly disappearing back of Glesia, the feeling was strange.

Dealing with an innocent person has to feel this strange… … .

Even I, who experienced it myself, couldn’t believe it.

***

Glesia, who passed her nature and escaped the academy.

When she reached a deserted space, she stopped abruptly.

Seruk.

Leaning against the academy wall, Glesia sighed lightly.

Beneath the lightly disheveled blue hair, her blue eyes shook slightly.

And even that. It was like the remnants of the emotions Glesia had been struggling to suppress.

“…….”

It wasn’t as easy as I thought to keep my emotions in check.

Emotions of surprise, embarrassment, and embarrassment endlessly swirl in my heart.

Even so, there was a small joy mixed in it.

okay. It was definitely a pleasure.

“friend… .”

Even as I mumbled a single word in a daze, I felt strange.

The word friend is a really ordinary word, a word that is nothing, but the word strangely touched my heart.

…It’s not like I’ve never heard something similar, but this time it felt so different.

It’s too bad that I can’t be with Han Chun-seong, who said he had a prior agreement with Instructor Kali, but it’s natural for Han Chun-seong.

but… .

What he said strangely kept tickling my chest.

“Me and Han Chun-seong… were friends.”

In the meantime, I thought I was in a completely different relationship with Han Chun-seong, but he thought of me as a friend before he knew it.

And I too, even though I was surprised at the moment I heard that, I calmly accepted it.

Han Chun-seong and I are friends.

It was completely different from the people who had only been friends on the surface.

It’s not a reluctant feeling that you’re hanging out with me. It was a literal feeling.

Because Han Chun-seong’s attitude toward me doesn’t feel like a lie in the slightest. Really… I had the feeling that they were real friends.

“…”

As I put my hand on my chest, my heart trembled.

‘You saw me as a friend.’

I’ve been trying to buy a relationship with Han Chun-seong with money. Han Chun-seong was looking at me properly.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Just today, when I heard about the battlefield, I naturally thought of my sister.

I only thought of my proud older sister who was still active on the battlefield, and that in order for me to reach her, I had to become stronger.

I have to evolve my characteristics and move forward. That’s why I found the Hancheon Castle.

…By the way.

Unlike me who was calculating like that, Han Chun-seong treated me wholeheartedly.

He said that he was a friend without hesitation and showed an expression of regret for not being able to suit me.

So even though I was sad, I was able to calmly accept him. It’s funny when you think about it now. It’s not something I should be so sad about.

“Why am I such an idiot?”

Inadvertently, those words leaked out.

I was trying to buy a relationship with him.

It was like that at the cafe where I had a proper conversation with Han Chun-seong, and it was always like that after that.

Yes, because I thought that money was the best thing I could give, and that there was no one in the world who hated money.

But since last night’s encounter, I’ve never given Han Chun-seong any money.

I tried to pay for dessert at the meeting on Sunday, but even that was blocked by Instructor Carly’s good intentions.

And… even Han Chun-seong didn’t ask for money from me.

He looked at me lightly and playfully.

Even at the moment when I handed over the gold, I was worried about whether it was really okay to accept the Han Chun-seong.

All of that was like a signal.

…a sign that he wasn’t looking at me so calculatedly.

“Han Chun-seong never treated me with money even though he was with me.”

I just realized that now. And I was able to hear it directly today.

‘friend… … .’

Because I had become friends with Han Chun-seong before I knew it.

“…”

While hesitating his lips, strangely, one side of his chest tickled.

It feels like making a real friend for the first time. It wasn’t quite… bad.

No, maybe a little better… .

***

clap.

Even entering Carly’s private training room with Carly, I felt new.

Obviously, even though I came last Friday, Carly’s training room had a special feeling.

I don’t know if that’s the strange feeling that magical engineering items give me, but I feel confident that I can become stronger. I liked it quite a bit.

“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. Are you expecting that?”

When Carly smiled and asked if there was any emotion on her face, I smiled and looked at her too.

“yes. I’m really looking forward to it.”

And I didn’t hide my heart like this.

The last conversation with Glesia must have been clearly heard in Carly’s ears, because she treated me with a much softer attitude.

Now that things were suddenly going well, my heart felt like it was about to fly.

It was even refreshing to be able to practice without worrying about all worries.

“Then student Chunseong Han, please wait for a moment. I will bring magic engineering items right away.”

“all right.”

Watching Carly move slowly to the other side of the training room, I remembered the last words.

We had many conversations throughout the visit, and we were able to specifically decide on the use of the training room.

The days of the week for using the training room were set on Mondays and Fridays. I was able to receive direct help from Kali, or be considerate so that I could train alone.

And today could be said to be one of them instead of Monday.

again.

Carly turned to me before long.

…And when I saw a familiar pair of ruby earrings on her hand, I inadvertently got even more excited.

‘Elimian’s consideration.’

It’s because I’ve experienced how good the effects of magical engineering items are.

Then, suddenly, the image of Carly wearing it directly to me came to mind.

She had been in contact with me at a distance where we could touch each other’s breath.

again.

again.

Carly was still coming towards me as then.

It seems so natural.

“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. Excuse me for a moment.”

And at the words I heard, I accepted it as it was while swallowing my saliva.

Sreuk…

Carly’s hand, carefully brushing my hair, was very soft.
