Became an Academy Spearman

93. Kali and the Midnight Lily

***

The time when darkness fell thickly.

Cheonseong separated from Karite and headed to Kali’s private training room.

that buck

Walking through the academy like that, Nayeon felt a strange sense of freedom. It felt like the eyes I had been feeling all along had now disappeared.

As I looked around, I just tilted my head.

“I’m sure… I think I felt someone’s gaze on me.”

I didn’t show it in front of Karite, but I had to feel like someone was watching me the whole time we were together.

On the way, I didn’t force myself to show it, fearing that Karite would be uneasy.

Although I can’t fully feel that gaze right now… .

I stopped thinking and shook my head.

“It may be an illusion… .”

There were so many cadets who looked at us the whole time we were moving with Karite, so I didn’t even know I was sensitive.

Besides, there’s no way anyone would follow me. Now I had to clear my mind.

Now I had to wake up and train my skills.

that buck

Clearing my mind like that, I slowly took my steps.

…

clap.

As soon as the door to the training room opened, I was able to face Kali.

“Come on. Cadets of Han Chun-seong.”

“Sorry for being so late.”

“What are you sorry about? I said I was fine.”

When I entered the training room facing a lightly smiling Carly, I could feel a distinctly different atmosphere. The air density itself was definitely different from outside the training room.

Exhaling a little is heavy, and even your body naturally becomes tense.

Even so, Kali, dressed in an instructor’s uniform, looked very tidy despite meeting at night like this.

“First, before we start training, shall we wear Elimien’s Consideration?”

“Ah, I would love for you to do that.”

Right now, I desperately needed the power of magical engineering items.

Although my body was somewhat relaxed after spending time with Karite as if I was resting, my body would respond immediately if I overdo it.

again.

Carly brings a pair of ruby earrings that she seems to have been preparing, and now I naturally accept her approach.

Seruk.

Carly approached me and put the earrings directly on my ear.

click.

click.

With the sound of fitting the seams, I wasn’t surprised by the pain of the earring being filled like the first time.

“Are you familiar with it now?”

I let out a small laugh at her mischievous voice.

“Now… I’m not the first either.”

“Well, that is too. Anyway, I’m trying to get the concept right before going into training. Cadet of Hancheonseong. I think I got a clue about the skill right now from the time I had a sparring with Cadet Gerard, right?”

“I felt it a little earlier than then.”

“If it was a little earlier… you caught the clue about the skill earlier than I thought.”

“Yes. However. Even if I thought I had a clue about the skill, I wasn’t convinced.”

While exchanging words calmly, he naturally activated Elimian’s consideration.

ㅡ!

I felt lighter as a warm energy circulated throughout my body. While lightly relaxing her hands at the sensation of her whole body being revitalized, she waited for Carly as if in agony.

“Then, by any chance… Are the cadets of Han Chun-seong aware of the concept of skill? Or are you still in the stage of catching on?”

In a cautious yet serious tone, I answered as I felt.

“I got the concept perfectly.”

ㅡPoke a point and twist it.

Even the direction of the concept was completely solidified.

“…Now that you’ve got the concept, then that’s even more surprising than I thought.”

“is that so?”

“yes. Of course, I was very surprised at that moment in the match against Cadet Gerard last time. Because it’s a power that can’t be expressed by throwing out a spear in general. I wondered if Cadet Han Chun-seong had developed it instinctively. If you say you know the concept, it’s different again.”

I was curious as I engraved every word she said.

After grasping the concept of skill, what other steps are there?

“And it would be faster to show it once rather than just talking.”

“…are you showing me?”

“okay. I will show you my skills.”

At the light voice, my eyes went to her hand involuntarily.

‘If it’s Kali’s skill… .’

[super vibration]

Even in the work, Kali’s skill did not appear very much in the first place.

However, each time she deployed a skill, the impact was really strong because a huge aftermath blew across the battlefield.

It was such a powerful skill that even the main character, Leonhardt, got to see Kali again in the latter half.

“Oh, cadet of Hancheon Castle. How did you know I use my hands when I use my skills?”

“Ah, that… of course I didn’t want to write it by hand.”

As I answered, I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.

I can’t say I already know her skills.

“okay? Well… Most of the skills are used by hand.”

Fortunately, Carly, who did not take my words seriously, reached out her hand toward the air, a little away from me.

“I’m going to deploy my skills really weakly. Still, you must never touch the aura of my skill. Cadet Han Chun-seong is also nervous.”

“all right.”

Taking the cautionary word seriously, he focused his gaze on her hand.

right after.

Seruk. The moment Carly lightly grabbed her outstretched right hand.

“…!”

The body reacted first.

For a moment, it seemed as if my heart had stopped. Even breathing stopped temporarily, and I couldn’t even open my mouth.

And it came slowly into my eyes.

ㅡ■■■■■!

A circle tinged with intense red light that gradually increased in size as if drawing a huge circle centered on her grasped hands.

As if gradually expanding its scale, the red circle began to gradually expand its scope.

“Although it is the case that I naturally realized my skills while evolving my characteristics. The moment you use the skill and understand the concept better. You can learn how to harness the power to make it more destructive.”

Despite Kali’s calm voice, I couldn’t take my eyes off the intense red aura.

The light, which seemed to have mass because it could not be condensed, seemed like an energy that was far from this world.

At some point, the energy is stopped in the air as it is. Inside the red circle, like fine waves, continued to sway.

A wave of red light that seemed to cut off the world.

Even the shape on the other side of the wave is blurry, and I stare at it as if possessed.

“But if you’re trying to learn a skill on your own, I think you need to follow the proper sequence. The body and mind will be like an unfinished vessel, on the other hand, the skill is so huge and enormous that it can put a lot of strain on the body. Just like the cadet of Hancheonseong now.”

As I focused on the words that followed, I gradually felt a shudder in my body from the energy I could see.

‘With one gesture… .’

How many hundred monsters must have died?

It was easy to imagine even though I had never seen the aftermath of technology firsthand. The moment when that intense red wave expands the area and takes over the space. The fact that whatever being caught up in it will explode and die.

“So let’s start by dealing with power first.”

“…If it’s about dealing with power.”

“Cadet Han Chun-seong replied that he knew the concept of the skill now, but even so, it wouldn’t be enough to express it while controlling his strength. right?”

…When asked as if he could see through my condition, I nodded blankly.

The moment I felt I had really touched the concept of skill, I lost consciousness in a park writhing in terrible pain.

and the next day

Even at the moment when I developed the concept a little more concretely, my body had a hard time even enduring it.

The pain I felt was still there, and it was nothing more than forcing myself to endure it.

“Actually, even being a Cadet Han Chun-seong is a big enough thing. It means that I realized the clue about the skill at the 4th level of the attribute and reached the concept. Skills, regardless of their characteristics, are powers that are far beyond logic. It is to embody one’s will in reality or to express it in another form.”

“…the power to embody one’s will.”

“Yes, in my case, I wanted great power while evolving my attributes on the battlefield. I’m a cadet of Han Chun-seong, I don’t know if I can properly feel that feeling when I see this power. This red circle is a skill called ‘Super Vibration’. It’s a skill I obtained in hopes of genocide.”

Carly’s voice was light, but the meaning was not light at all.

“You mean genocide?”

“right. In order to protect our officers and soldiers, I had a desperate desire to kill more monsters, so my wish was embodied and my power was extremely amplified, the power of super vibration.”

Having said that, Kali began to gradually reduce the skill she had manifested.

ㅡㅡㅡ!!

The circle of red light gradually narrowed, and within that time, it spread ripples throughout the space and disappeared.

“Each person gets a different skill depending on their characteristics. In that sense, the cadet of Hancheonseong. Would you like to talk about the concept of the skill you just realized?”

I slowly opened my mouth at the softly connected words.

“It’s a ‘poke and twist’ concept.”

“Poke a point and twist it… It’s definitely a concept suitable for spearmanship. Was there something else you longed for or desired?”

A more specific question made me reflect on the concept I had been enlightened to for a while.

ㅡPoke a point and twist it.

That’s a power that I can never accept. It was as if he wished to receive great power.

I receive it with my spear, and since I can’t stop it, I stab and twist it.

By twisting it like that, it neutralizes the opponent’s power and erases it.

“If you think specifically. I wanted to return the opponent’s power to nothing.”

“To return to nothingness.”

“Yes. It was because I felt irresistible when I faced Leonhardt, whom I had my first sparring with, and furthermore, in the sparring with Instructor Cali.

As I spoke, it felt like the concept was becoming more and more concrete.

To the point where I can understand why I wanted the skill and how I got that concept.

“If force majeure… .”

“I thought that no matter how hard I tried in the future, I wouldn’t be able to reach Leonhard or Instructor Carly in the end.”

“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. At that moment… did you think that?”

“I had a moment. I wondered if the result of my efforts would be different if I had a unique or rare trait rather than a common grade… .”

A small smile leaked out as he calmly conveyed the emotions he felt at the time.

To be honest, I didn’t even think of Leonhard as a wall.

Of course, the moment Leonhardt reached level 3 without any warning, he felt that way, but it was Kali who felt that it was a real wall.

Vibration is an ability that belongs to the supernatural class.

That’s… a sense of helplessness for those who are dealing with it. It was an overwhelming characteristic to feel the difference in class.

Of course, the ridiculously high level of the 9th level might have given her tremendous abilities, but I couldn’t help but feel envious of that trait itself.

“……”

Looking at Carly who couldn’t open her mouth easily to my words, I was rather calm.

“So I desperately wanted it. I hope I can reach anything with the spear I hold. No matter how great the force, I hope I can hit it with a spear.”

Even as I said it, I was rather grateful.

Because of Carly, I was able to make that much progress.

It’s because you can grab a clue about a skill you never thought of and try to move forward like this.

“…I see.”

“The sparring with Instructor Cali was really helpful.”

In order for me to move forward, Kali was absolutely necessary.

“That is the result of the will of Cadet Han Chun-seong. It is difficult to say that I have been of such great help.”

“no. It was possible because it was Instructor Kali, not someone else.”

When she was embarrassed, I pushed my opinion even harder.

that it must not be her I needed to appeal to her a little more.

“…because of me.”

When Carly averted my gaze for a moment, I inadvertently wondered if I had said something wrong.
