Became an Academy Spearman

Chapter 82

82. Growing Pains – (2)

***

“……”

I breathed in very slowly.

It was worth the risk, just to tidy up my extremely tired body a little bit.

The biggest growth I can hope for right now. It was just a skill.

Originally, it was like a level 4 talent level that I couldn’t even dream of, but like a miracle, I had a clue about the skill.

The hand holding the spear is extremely heavy.

Her body, which had reached its limit, complained of pain just by holding a spear. Even so, I think about the concept carefully while enduring the pain.

ㅡPoke a point and twist it.

It wasn’t like a finished concept yet. A concept that only feels that way to me.

Even the unfinished concept showed absolute power when I developed it.

In the previous sparring with Luna, he broke through the vast amount of mana and twisted the kite shield as it was, and even the wind pressure of Gerard’s power was erased by twisting one point.

However, after only two uses, my body started to react, so I stopped trying to learn the skill for the time being.

“Is it possible.”

Speaking to me as if it were a promise, I began to flesh out the concept a bit more.

The moment I came up with the concept. Originally, I thought of it assuming something that I could never cope with.

‘I thought the spear blade couldn’t reach it.’

That was the case with Leonhardt, whom he faced in the first match. I clearly felt that my spear was slowly being seized by Leonhardt even though I had reached the 4th level at that time.

I thought I could reach it, but the edge of my spear still couldn’t reach it.

Both in speed and in power, as if the sources were different.

That’s why I desperately wanted something to pierce his sword. If it can’t be pierced, something that can erase the attack even by twisting the sword as it is.

—-!

I thought about it calmly and slowly settled down.

Seruk. Taking a step back, the tip of the hand holding the spearhead turned backwards again. It seemed similar to before, but it was a completely different posture.

It was a posture that seemed capable of shooting a spear at any time.

—-!

For a moment, weak mana dwelled in the blade of the spear, giving it a faint blue light.

At the same time, Leonhardt is assumed from empty space.

I imagine and recall the figure of a guy who has developed stronger than Leonhardt I faced in the last match.

“……”

Then, slowly, something began to appear.

while remaining seated. The figure of Leonhard raising his sword.

Even though it was clear that it was an illusion, Leonhardt’s unique blue eyes looked calm and serene. And the brilliant blue aura that resided in the sword he was holding was overflowing splendidly as if to devour the space.

It was so easy to draw the figure of a guy who would have become stronger, so much so that I couldn’t even compare it to the speed at which I developed.

…and I was able to draw after that.

The moment when a sword with great power rushes at me.

The energy of the Changchun Ilgeom was so strong that I couldn’t pierce it. I couldn’t face the energy of the Changchun Ilgeom with my spear.

‘so that.’

Stab one point and twist that mighty power.

The moment the thought came to mind. I was already spearing.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!!

At that moment, I didn’t know when I had thrown the spear, or even if I had consciously swung it.

It just caught my eye. That the edge of my spear is shining brightly and cutting through the atmosphere.

The blue energy was stronger than ever before, and the air that passed through the window reacted with wild shaking and great fluctuations.

rumbling… !

At the same time, the spear that rotated in a spiral had a different feel from the previous two uses.

At the end of it, the moment he faced Leonhardt’s sword.

…the spear froze.

That moment. I had to feel an incomprehensible ‘gap’.

It can be twisted and erased. Chang possessed such strength.

But it suddenly stopped. The creation car, which was rotating in a spiral, stops as it is.

Something inexplicable…but definitely something was lacking.

Instinctively, I felt that I was still lacking something to fully reach the skill level.

And I didn’t even know what it was.

Jjaeng!

As the spear, which had left my hand in vain, was violently slammed to the ground, I felt a great agony all over my body.

I couldn’t even open my mouth for a moment at the unexpected pain.

“…!”

As the body tilted as if it were collapsing, the vision was twisted.

I felt like I couldn’t see in extreme dizziness.

dump.

When my body hit the ground as it was, the pain I felt throughout my body was maximized, and at the same time, it seemed like my consciousness was floating.

Not even a word came out, and it seemed like I was suffocating.

How many seconds would that have been?

It felt like an eternity.

“Haha… Haha…”

At some point, when I was able to exhale, I focused on providing the lack of oxygen.

It was as if I was facing death for a moment. It was as if I had come back from the dead, and only the vivid pain remained intact, circling my entire body.

“Shut up… .”

A moan leaked out from the unbearable pain, and I couldn’t even do anything.

It felt as if someone had trampled on my body and was about to explode. Extreme pain as if the body and mind were being torn to shreds.

Even my head felt like my brain was burning with pain.

ㅡ#@[email protected]#%@.

Something kept popping up and disappearing between the terrible pains.

…don’t know what that is. Just by enduring this pain right now, I was already overcoming my limits.

Then, when I felt like I was about to let go of my consciousness, I somehow held on to the string of consciousness despite the pain.

‘no!’

I couldn’t lose consciousness here.

It seemed that the unprecedented sensation I had felt just before would disappear like a fleeting dream.

“Ouch… .”

Between the suppressed moans… the vision continued to blur.

Still, I could never let go.

***

Miria escapes from the dormitory late at night.

She was walking all alone.

again.

again… .

As she moved aimlessly along with the sound of calm footsteps, Miria’s heart felt tight.

As much as she was always by Luna’s side, it must be strange to walk alone like this. Rather, I felt comfortable walking alone now.

“ha… .”

I let out a short sigh and stared blankly at the moon.

The moon shining brightly on the earth was so bright.

And even though I was looking at such a bright moon, my heart looking at the moon wasn’t bright at all… I just felt a sense of difference.

……

As I walked aimlessly, many thoughts filled my head.

It seems like just yesterday that I entered the academy and thought about the bright and hopeful days, but now it all feels like a dream.

Continuing, I feel like I’m not making progress, and I feel like I’m falling behind the other cadets.

Maybe it’s because my mind has become more complicated lately. My character didn’t even show signs of improving.

Ceci is just by my side as a cute spirit. There was no sign of evolution.

“In addition, these days, Luna and… seems to be getting more and more awkward.”

When I thought of Luna, a bitter smile lingered on my lips.

Recently, I could clearly feel that Luna was trying to treat me better. There was no problem with Luna like that.

It’s just that the way I treat Luna isn’t the same as before… .

I’ve been keeping my distance from Luna lately. As if pushing Luna away, he treats her a little coldly and tries to change.

I’ve been thinking that way lately.

‘Is it right for me to be by Luna’s side… .’

Maybe I can’t move forward because of Luna.

Unbeknownst to me, I was receiving Luna’s halo.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Just like when other cadets look at Luna, I naturally look at them too. Unknowingly, he was benefiting from Luna.

But now I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to live like that.

It feels like living like a clumsy star next to a brilliantly shining star called Luna.

I feel that way more these days.

And if you live like that. what does it mean to me

“I am… just me.”

Luna’s friend, Luna’s favorite Milia, was not my essence. ‘Cause I’m just me

again.

While I was lost in thought, I was already in the park.

Seruk. As I sat down on the empty bench, I let out a deep sigh.

As I fell asleep thinking about Luna, the image of a man suddenly came to my mind.

Dark eyes under the characteristic dark hair. And even the way he smiled confidently.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been thinking about it already. It pops up dozens of times a day. It disappears. And you naturally become more conscious.

Then… I realized.

“I… .”

Maybe he’s making an excuse.

There was only one fundamental reason why I acted and thought this way.

The reason why he tries to keep his distance from Luna and treats her coldly these days.

That was what made him apologize to Luna in the first place.

Originally, it was something that would have been easily overlooked by the halo of the Countess of Vermont, where Luna is located. However, I eventually persuaded Luna to apologize to Han Chun-seong.

why did i do that I already knew the answer.

“I guess I liked Agar Castle…”

It must have been love at first sight.

That’s why everything I did changed. And it was very clear why he hated Luna.

Even that kind of agar will be interested in Luna now.

As long as I stay by Luna’s side, I’ll just be Luna’s friend.

That’s why I was trying to change by trying to distance myself from Luna.

“…”

When I realized it properly and acknowledged my feelings, laughter leaked out.

I felt so childish. The reason why I treat my long-time best friend coldly is because I have a guy I like.

And that guy takes a strange interest in his best friend. He treated his best friend harshly.

…it was really ugly jealousy.
