83. worried mind

***

“Agar Castle!?”

My mind was confused even as I kept my eyes on the woman approaching me.

‘Millia?’

Even after belatedly recalling the woman’s name, there was no strength in his body.

It was as if I had realized again the fact that people never get used to pain.

“What happened? What the heck is this now… .”

As I watched Milia approaching and talking to me, my heart gradually weakened.

‘now… .’

Wouldn’t it be okay if I let go of my heart?

In order not to forget the concept of stabbing and twisting a point, the feeling that I had touched properly even for a moment, I continued to make up my mind and hold on to it again and again.

I forcibly held onto my body, which wanted to lose consciousness due to the excruciating pain, and somehow tried to recapture the sensation of that moment.

and.

I thought I had properly grasped the sense of the moment.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Just by enduring in such excruciating pain… I’ve endured long enough.

My heart is getting weaker… Now I can’t control it.

snap!

“Agar Castle!? right now… ”

Even though Milia could see her eyes full, a foolish laugh leaked out at the moment.

‘thank god.’

I wasn’t alone in falling like this. It felt like I wouldn’t have to face the next day lying down on the cold floor.

In my thoughts that are irresponsible even in my opinion.

“……”

I couldn’t stop my eyes from slowly closing.

***

The next day was bright.

The warm morning sunlight slowly illuminated the land, warmly embracing buildings, vegetation, and even countless people.

And such a warm light soon illuminated even the window of an infirmary.

“…”

In the academy’s infirmary, there was a woman with emerald hair who was guarding her post and a cadet lying unconscious on a hospital bed.

It was Adelia and Heaven.

clap.

Then the door to the infirmary opened and a woman with bobbed black hair entered.

“Instructor Adelia. I brought healing aids.”

Adelia smiled lightly at Millia’s words.

“thanks. Leave it nearby… I’d like to say it’s okay to go back, but Cadet Millia won’t go back, right?”

When Adelia asked calmly, Millia answered cautiously but firmly.

“…Instructor. I’m really fine.”

“Cadet Millia might be okay, but it’s because I’m not okay.”

As Adelia let out a small sigh and accepted Milia, Milia carefully took a seat next to Adelia.

And their eyes naturally turned to Cheonseong, who was lying on the bed and exhaling lightly.

Her natural appearance was very disturbed, but compared to before she lost consciousness, she was definitely in a better state.

“It won’t be long before the Cadet Han Chun-seong will rise. There were no major abnormalities in my body, so it can be seen as overwork or overexertion.”

“Instructor Adelia. I’m sorry, but is there really anything wrong with Han Chun-seong… ?”

“yes. There really is nothing wrong.”

Adelia looked at Milia with a soft gaze while answering as if assertive.

Then, as if out of nowhere, I remembered what had happened the night before.

After Cheonseong collapsed, Milia hurriedly carried Cheonseong on her back and headed to the infirmary.

Fortunately, Adelia’s assistant, Efre, remained in the infirmary, and Adelia hurriedly returned to the infirmary and was able to heal her nature.

During the night, Adelia repeatedly told Millia that she could stop going back, but the circumstances of the night were that Millia kept her place by the nature’s side all night.

“…”

Adelia let out a light breath as she looked at Milia who had made up her mind.

At first, I wanted to send Milia back by force, but in the end, I allowed it.

‘That’s how… I’m desperate.’

Let’s look at Cadet Millia, who is still looking at Cadet Han Chun-seong. I couldn’t force it back.

“Cadet Millia. I’ll make some tea for you.”

“Ah yes. All right.”

He slowly moved away from cadet Milia, who immediately lowered his head.

Something. It felt like I shouldn’t be among them in this strange atmosphere.

again.

There was a faint smile as they walked.

‘Does the Millia cadet like the agar cadet?’

I couldn’t be sure of the cadet’s feelings, but I wondered if that was the feeling.

own work. And giving up even sleep to protect someone else’s side. It is only possible if you have a bigger heart than you think.

good.

As I was preparing my portion of tea as well as the tea for the cadets in Milia, I had my doubts again.

‘What is the reason Cadet Han Chun-seong collapsed?’

I was really surprised when I first heard that Cadet Han Chun-seong had come to the infirmary unconscious. And I felt a great sense of alarm at the haggard appearance I faced in person.

Squeak.

It was still hard to understand properly even as I poured water that was adjusted to the temperature using mana.

Let’s proceed with the healing, the agar cadet did not feel any major abnormalities. The fact that the body was very tense and the muscles of the whole body were united in various places, and other than that, there was a large remnant of fatigue remaining.

Of course, even that alone was not something to be taken lightly, but it was close to mild compared to what I had thought of even a serious injury.

Seruk. good.

I could see the back of cadet Milia, who was still looking at cadet Han Chun-seong as she slowly moved her steps with a teacup on the tray.

The fact that her eyes were always on Cadet Han Chun-seong last night.

A small smile leaked out from the cadet’s appearance.

There are times when I am in the battlefield where every day is urgent, but sometimes I become indifferent to my emotions when I am at the academy like this.

The reality on the battlefield, where the sense of crisis permeates the whole body, and the reality at the academy are so different.

Looking at those who face death or complain of great pain every day, the feeling is completely different from the bright and energetic cadets even if they are hurt.

My heart… can accept it a little lighter and warmer.

My heart, which was so tired, seemed to be healed just by looking at the cadets like that.

good.

“Cadet Millia?”

“…yes.”

“Have some tea. And even if you’re so nervous, it’s not good for your body.”

Then, carefully placing the teacup on the table,

“Oh, thank you.”

Cadet Milia, who politely bowed her head while accepting the teacup, liked me.

“Oh, and I’m asking again to confirm. You said you found an agar cadet in the park last night, right?”

“Right. Because I heard a sudden sick sound in the park, so I checked. Han Chun-seong had collapsed there.”

Cadet Milia’s eyes blurred slightly as she raised the teacup and answered.

It was as if she herself could not understand it. I felt the same way about Cadet Millia’s questions.

At first, I wondered if someone with malicious intent had done something to Cadet Han Chun-seong, but the more I healed, the more I thought that wasn’t the case.

Nonetheless, I checked again just in case. Because it can be different depending on the characteristics of the cadet.

“Once Cadet Han Chun-seong comes to his senses, he will ask again about how he collapsed. Now I can’t see any sign that someone did anything. Her condition isn’t too serious, and she’ll be back to normal as soon as she regains her energy.”

Still, I conveyed the words to ease the worries of cadet Milia a little.

“okay. I think I said something too hasty just in case. Instructor, I’m sorry.”

“I think it can. But you can put your mind at ease now. Ah, Cadet Millia. Are you listening to Instructor Kali’s lecture?”

“Yes. Right.”

I was troubled as I watched Cadet Milia answer.

Cadet Han Chun-seong, who lost consciousness right away, will of course tell you that he will not be attending the morning lecture.

but.

‘What should the Millia cadet do?’

The way he was worried about Cadet Han Chun-seong made me want to help him.

Staying up all night and staying by someone’s side was a really difficult task for those who hadn’t done it before.

However, not even a few days have passed since I spoke with Instructor Kali about fire and agar cadets.

But again, I wonder if I’m interfering too much with Instructor Carly asking me to drop the other cadets from the lecture.

“Instructor Adelia. I will be back before the lecture begins.”

“…Are you really okay?”

“Yes. it’s okay.”

Seeing Cadet Millia reply as if he guessed what I was saying, I felt apologetic.

‘I’d rather let them rest.’

It is said that he is taking care of Cadet Milia’s body with healing energy, but it is questionable whether she is really okay mentally.

No matter how much sleep I physically endured, there was definitely a limit.

Even if I become a little less introverted to Instructor Carly today, it’s worth it… … .

“Ugh… .”

My thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound of pain.

“Agar-seong?”

Along with the surprised Milia cadet, I immediately checked the agar cadet.

I slowly opened my eyes through the disheveled hair, and I used my energy to check the condition again.

“Is student Han Chun-seong okay?”

***

Even as I regained consciousness, it felt like my head was going to explode.

Even so, I look at the two people who come into sight.

“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. First of all, you need to rest. For the morning lecture, I’ll tell Instructor Carly. You can rest comfortably during the morning hours.”

First, he met eyes at Adelia’s soft voice and nodded blankly.

“Yes, thank you.”

The only thing I can remember is that I was relieved when I saw Milia last night. Seeing Adelia now, it seemed she had taken me to the infirmary.

“Thank you… Millia. And I’m really sorry.”

I first apologized to Millia, who was still in front of me.

Because I irresponsibly left her behind my back. How embarrassing Milia must have been at that time.

“You don’t have to be so sorry. Because I was just very surprised. So are you really okay?”

“…uh. I think I’m fine now.”

As I answered, I was filled with embarrassment.

In my strong obsession with wanting to become stronger, I lost consciousness while using an unfinished concept.

Fortunately, Adelia told me that there was nothing wrong with my body, but looking back at that moment, it was a reckless act to the extent that it didn’t seem strange no matter what happened to my body.

“I’m glad if it’s okay. Agar though. I hope you don’t push yourself too hard in the future.”

“uh. Really… I have no face.”

While answering, I couldn’t really think of anything to say.

Even in front of the woman I thought was my ideal type, I showed such rudeness, and even now, I was showing my completely messed up appearance as it is without hiding it at all.

I really felt like I wanted to hide anywhere as long as I could hide.

“Somehow the two of them are really… nice to see.”

“…yes?”

“No, just. Because I’m watching these two lives like this. For no reason, I feel happy.”

Adelia’s sudden words made her face rise even more.

Adelia, looking back and forth between me and Millia with a strange gaze, was like a child who wanted to play a practical joke.

“Instructor Adelia. Be mean.”

“…Milia is right.”

Then, in response to Milia’s calm voice, the heat cooled down and she followed suit.

I felt a lot of regret at the words of Millia, who denied it with a single knife.

‘Well, there’s no way Millia likes me.’

He said that he had other thoughts about Millia’s attitude when he first spoke to her, but now that I think about it, I’ve overlooked the fact that Milia’s character is like that.

No matter who you deal with, Milia is kind and gentle, and treats you as a person to person.

It was a woman who came out as a good character, almost on the same level as Leonhardt in the work.

So, the feelings I felt at that time were nothing more than a simple illusion of mine.

“Huh~ Anyway, I will tell Instructor Kali and come back. Then both of you are taking a break. Just in case, I’ll tell Erpe to take care of the infirmary instead of me.”

“yes.”

“All right.”

…From the back of Adelia, who was slowly leaving while answering blankly, his eyes slowly moved to Milia.

Come to think of it… it was strange.

‘Why is Millia still in the infirmary?’

The bright sunlight announces the morning.
