95. reality to face

***

The warm morning sunlight began to slowly embrace the earth that had been obsessed with darkness.

Now that the dawn of darkness has passed, and warm light dwells all over the land. Even in the luxurious reddish mansion, the sunlight gave off its own warmth.

And the warmth soon made a change.

sore… sore…

The calm breathing continued for a while, and Chun-sung was able to slowly open his eyes.

“……”

What I felt as soon as I woke up. That the whole body is extremely heavy.

My body felt so heavy, like cotton soaked in water. So, when I opened my mouth, my eyes were closed.

“…ah.”

While blinking blankly at the loud, locked voice, a completely different interior soon entered.

Where is this?

First of all, it was a very white space.

The interior with few furniture to the point of being simple, the feeling itself was different from the dormitory I was staying in. Moreover, even the blanket I was covering right now had a light pink color, which was very foreign to me.

It reminds me of the feeling of entering my girlfriend’s room for the first time… .

‘Women’s room?’

In an instant, I blinked my eyes in a different way. Come to think of it, this space really looked like a woman’s room.

Then he laughed and shook his head slowly.

“What a crazy idea… .”

I thought I was still awake.

I can’t be in a woman’s room. Why are you thinking such nonsense?

Seruk.

He slowly pulled back the blanket and lightly stretched his arms upwards.

“…Wow. crazy.”

And the moment I stretched out my arms, an exclamation that even I couldn’t understand leaked out.

Stretching out my arms to relieve the heavy body, it seemed as if the numerous nerves in my arms immediately sent signals.

where to do more

I’ll show you how much more pain you can feel, so it’s like my body is telling me to move more, through pain.

I really carefully retrieved the arm that had been stretched out in that ferocious provocation.

“It’s really crazy… isn’t it?”

Even as he said it, it wasn’t just his two arms.

Then came a moan of a truly uncontrollable kind.

It wasn’t just my arms that hurt right away.

Feet, legs, shoulders, waist, chest, head… When I sent a signal of pain in one place, every part of my body appealed to me as if it started a chain reaction.

If you’re willing to move despite this pain, it seems like you should try more. Still, I had to get myself up. I need to figure out what’s going on now.

that buck

As I cautiously stepped forward in terrible pain, I belatedly caught my eye.

The crumpled shirt and black cadet uniform bottoms were definitely the same as mine from last night. It’s just that the cadet uniform coat is off.

“yesterday… ?”

I mumbled and felt a strange change.

Yes, I met Karite yesterday, and then I met Kali and continued my training.

At the end, the concept of my skill was further fleshed out. I started putting that concept into the window.

Then, it felt like everything was aligned.

“Have I lost my mind?”

I clearly remember taking a strong step while holding the spear holding the spiral.

But what happened after that didn’t come to my mind at all, as if someone had erased it from my head.

And someone who will take care of me when I am unconscious.

There was no one other than Carly who would think of me like that.

“…and this room too.”

Little by little, I understood the situation.

Isn’t this inner room, where you can feel the strange woman coming into sight, also the space where Carly stays?

clap.

When the door opened just in time, I stopped involuntarily.

“…Cadet Han Chun-seong. Are you awake already?”

“Ah yes. Instructor Carly.”

While answering, I was surprised to see Carly.

There was Kali who looked completely different from her uniform, and I couldn’t even get used to it.

To put it simply… I was wearing a reddish cloth that could be considered a light outfit, but it felt so different from my usual hard uniform.

“Don’t try to force yourself up now.”

I say as I put the steaming stew on the tray on the table. I naturally raised my body and sat back on the bed.

…To be honest, I didn’t dare to take another step with this body.

“Instructor. Have I lost my mind?”

“right. The moment the concept was implemented last night, Cadet Han Chun-seong lost consciousness.”

“I’m really sorry.”

“That… it’s not something to apologize for. Cadet Han Chun-seong’s will was just too strong.”

Looking at Carly as she spoke with a smile, my gaze soon turned to her red hair, which was tied up in a ponytail.

Unlike her usual style, which is usually loosely untied, when she wore a ponytail, her pure white neckline was subtly exposed, and even that was so different from her usual image that it seemed like she was looking at a completely different person.

Seruk. Carly sat down on a nearby chair and stared at me.

“Cadets of Hancheon Castle.”

“Yes. Instructor.”

“Where do you think you are now?”

When asked with a grin, I took a blank look inside and opened my mouth.

“Isn’t this the dormitory where Instructor Carly lives?”

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Just as there are dormitories for cadets in the academy, I assumed there would be dormitories where instructors stay.

“It’s not a dorm.”

“…Yes?”

I was surprised by the unexpected answer.

If not a dormitory, where would it be? At that time, Carly raised the corner of her pick’s mouth.

“This is my house.”

Took.

I knocked on the table lightly and said, I couldn’t understand her words for a moment.

‘My house?’

Buying my own house… The words I once dreamed of in reality flashed through my mind, but it didn’t really feel like that.

Carly said it was home as if it were natural and natural.

So maybe that’s the meaning of the word itself.

“Speaking of home… .”

“Should I call it the mansion I bought?”

When Carly added a detailed explanation, I finally understood.

And, I couldn’t understand more.

Even though I’m unconscious, I’m staying in her mansion… .

“Are you outside the academy?”

“okay. out of the academy It was strange to take Cadet Han Chun-seong, who fell down yesterday, to go anywhere, so I brought him to my house.”

I was a little surprised to see her talking calmly.

‘but.’

With Carly’s fame, there was no way he wouldn’t have that level of wealth. It was only natural that the family she belonged to was the Ishtar family, which was known as a prestigious family.

At the same time as I thought that, I felt sorry for myself on the other side of my heart.

…Recently, I’ve been feeling like I’m constantly causing trouble to other people.

“sorry.”

“…yes?”

“Instructor Carly explained so much about power control yesterday, but I was overdoing it on my own… I lost consciousness like this.”

Thinking about it now, my body felt much better before I lost consciousness, and the feeling of being lighter was a complete illusion.

The moment I stepped on the ground, clutching the spear embracing the brilliant blue light. For a moment, I felt a great sense of difference.

A sensation so foreign that my body doesn’t feel like mine. Looking back now, it was just a moment when my senses were out of sync.

However, ignoring the discrepancy, Kali tried to face the huge wall.

For that moment… I thought my spear could reach that wall.

I just couldn’t give it up.

“……”

I felt apologetic when I saw Carly looking at me with a strange face.

It wasn’t enough to practice at night with me on the weekend at most, and she took care of me like this even after that.

How much of a nuisance I must have felt to Carly, who had to bring me into her private space.

“Agar Cadet?”

“Yes. Instructor.”

“…Do you really know that Cadet Han Chun-seong gives you a different feeling every time you see him?”

“You mean a different feeling?”

“Yeah, I’m not trying to compare myself to other cadets. Cadet Han Chun-seong is definitely different from other cadets in many ways. Whether it’s the strength you possess, or your will, even the unique personality you have now.”

When she continued to tell me that she was different, I couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.

I don’t think he was complimenting me, but he didn’t feel like criticizing me either, so I wasn’t sure how to receive it.

“And don’t be so sorry. I could have brought cadet Han Chun-seong to the infirmary, but I only brought Cadet Chun-seong to my personal space because I wanted to do this.”

“Is that so.”

Even while answering, I could feel her little consideration.

I could feel it in her face and in her soft voice that she was saying that now, in case I felt burdened.

‘He’s a really nice person.’

How many instructors are so considerate and considerate of cadets?

“And the cadet of Hancheonseong. It’s hard to say right after waking up, but will you listen to me for a moment while we eat?”

When the stew, still steaming, was handed out to me, I took it of course.

“Yes. I will listen to whatever you say.”

Even as I lifted the spoon to cook the stew, my eyes were straight on Carly.

There was a clear difference between practicing my skills alone and listening to her advice like this.

A word from Carly now was an invaluable help to me.

and.

‘It’s a bit now.’

I instinctively sensed that there was really little left until I reached the skill.

I was already convinced that I could acquire the skill.

As early as today, or at least within two days, the skill could be completed.

“For the time being, Cadet Han Chun-seong has to pay attention to recuperating his body. It will be very regrettable, but then training will have to stop for a while.”

However.

…The words I heard from Carly were completely out of my mind.

As soon as I opened the stew, I blinked blankly.

“Do I need to recuperate?”

“okay. You should at least take a complete rest today, so that you can recover enough to hold a spear again tomorrow. But the cadets of Hancheonseong. Don’t you feel how unstable your body is right now?”

“But… now a little bit. I can definitely awaken the skill. I can be sure. So just a little more… … .”

I couldn’t stop now.

It was… a little bit.

If I went a little further, I could fully get the concept of skill as a completed power.

Only then would he be able to protect Karite from the crisis next week.

So… .

“ha.”

Kali let out a deep sigh, and her thoughts were interrupted for a moment.

Now she didn’t say anything to me.

By the way.

Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm

Just by looking at it, I felt so much.

“Cadets of Hancheon Castle.”

“…Yes. Instructor.”

“Awakening skills is definitely a very important thing. It’s also something that has a bigger meaning than evolving a trait. Perhaps even in the history of the academy, it is unprecedented to have a skill learned at level 4 of the attribute. I know that Cadet Han Chun-seong is now at a crossroads that will mark a milestone in the history of this empire. I know all too well… But even so, that’s not more important than the body of a cadet of Han Chun-seong.”

…I couldn’t bear to open my mouth as I met her worried eyes.

That my body has been breaking down lately.

I definitely knew

Even so, the fact that I tried to force myself forward… .

”……“

Still, I couldn’t give up easily.

Even as I hesitated, the reality I had to face right now… was already hanging large in front of me.
