97. wishing for someone

ㅡ rest.

Taking a break was a word that most people would like.

A long-awaited break after digesting a busy day and a tiring day. Take a break without thinking or decide what to do during the break to rest and reorganize your body and mind.

Just as a machine that runs endlessly and overheats eventually breaks down, humans were even more delicate than that.

So rest was the time everyone needed, regardless of who they were. It was so natural and so natural.

However. There were people who felt that such a break was unfamiliar.

I spend so much time that I don’t even know how to spend the day, and when the night comes to finish the day, I’m preparing for the next day.

Then the next day, you do what you have to do again.

“……”

Cheonseong looked back at his situation and suddenly a smile leaked out.

‘I lived a busy life.’

But today, after waking up, I have never left my room.

To be precise, now that Kali almost forcibly ordered me to rest, I was vaguely feeling it as I followed it.

That Carly really cared about me.

And right now, my body wants to rest and do nothing… I knew better.

But when I was actually resting like this, I felt something empty.

“Even if I rest… I don’t know what to do.”

It really felt like that while muttering blankly.

I’m taking a break, but I don’t know how to rest.

In the meantime, resting to me meant taking a breath or falling asleep exhausted at night.

Then it was the next day soon.

I had a whole day off last weekend, but even that day I went to the training ground.

I feel like I can’t just rest.

“…”

As I looked around the inner room left alone, my gaze soon turned to my hand.

[Erin Geschwald]

In my hand was a book with an unusual title.

A book made of reddish hardcover material gives the impression that it is an expensive book, but in reality it is nothing more than an interesting ‘novel’.

Fiction certainly existed in this world. Usually, the main character who plays a big role in the battlefield comes out, and it is about continuing peace by saving the empire in crisis. It was very strange to me.

It’s a novel that Carly gave me to read after he was away for a while, but I couldn’t read more after reading about 40 pages.

“The more I look at it, the more I feel like I’m being commissioned.”

It depicts the urgent situation unfolding on the battlefield, the harsh reality, and the friendship between officers and soldiers.

In addition, since the current situation of the empire is so explicit, it certainly did not look like Namil even while reading the novel.

Because that’s ‘reality’ in this world.

Moreover, the Kali I knew was scheduled to return to the battlefield after a short stay as an academy instructor. At least that’s how it went in the story called Groa.

In the second half, I still remember clearly the part where Leonhardt encounters Carly on the battlefield and sheds light on her presence.

Axis of Empire. Bloody Dawn. It is only then that her true value is revealed, how overwhelming the power of vibration is a supernatural characteristic.

—-…This is not like a war. It’s a massacre.

In the story, even the monologue of Leonhardt, who has grown beyond compare to now, I remembered without making a single mistake.

At that time, Leonhardt had gone beyond the 7th level and reached the 8th level. It was a time when I could understand why I was evaluated as the main character in a situation where armed force was beyond the rank of an officer.

However, even when seen by Leonhard, who has such ridiculous talents, Carly is seen as a ‘genius’ with monster-like characteristics.

It’s because the reason why officers are treated so well and why the instructors at the academy have the same status as the sky is coming up again.

“…..”

As I thought about it blankly, I suddenly felt again that this situation was absurd.

‘Such a great Carly… … .’

is wasting time on me

He brought me to his mansion and tried to take care of me, and he cared about me like this. Originally, even Leonhardt had hardly been given time… .

It was given to me.

“The more I think about it, the more precious this time is.”

So it was more sad.

If the time to be with Carly like now is like the future, there is less than a year left.

And I never thought I’d ever see someone like her again. How many instructors are willing to spend time and help me?

clap.

When the door opened in the middle of my thoughts, my gaze went blankly.

“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. Sorry, something suddenly happened.”

“no. Instructor.”

As I looked at Carly who was coming right towards me, I ended up looking at her again.

Contrary to her beautiful appearance, she is a woman with enormous strength to maintain the battle line with her single body. Then, in her hand, there was a red box, and I wondered what it might be.

“I wonder what this box is?”

“yes. Yes, but. Do you have a relationship with me?”

When asked to confirm, Carly smiled. Suddenly, the box was handed to me.

“Try to solve it yourself.”

“…is that okay?”

“I brought it to give to Chun-seong Han.”

Saying it was natural, I put the book I was holding down on the side of the bed and was handed a box without a second thought.

The pure white string was stylishly knotted, and in some ways it looked like a gift box.

Seruk. Seruk.

As I untied the knot and opened the box, I blinked at the result I encountered.

What I saw was a mineral shining like a jewel.

It was the first soft, transparent white light that came in. It was as if I was looking at ‘silver’, but based on my experience of seeing real silver, I could feel that it was not silver.

“Instructor Carly. This… ?”

When I asked while looking at Carly, the corner of my mouth rolled up and I burst into a big smile.

“Looking at the reaction now. Is this your first time seeing it?”

“yes. It’s the first time you see it.”

I didn’t have a chance to come into contact with minerals in the first place, but I had seen gold and silver. But it was clear that it was not.

“I’m going to ask you before answering, but Cadet Han Chun-seong doesn’t remember what happened yesterday, right?”

“It doesn’t come to mind at all, but did I cause any trouble?”

I wondered if I had done something wrong while I was unconscious, but Carly smiled slightly and shook her head.

“It didn’t cause any trouble. But the aftermath was a bit big.”

“If the aftermath… .”

“The spear that Cadet Han Chun-seong held was shattered.”

The words that followed made me open my mouth.

‘It’s a spear I bought for how much.’

It’s said before entering the academy, but I bought the most expensive spear I’ve ever bought. Because it was the spear that cost most of my money.

Then, belatedly, his eyes went to the mineral Carly handed over.

‘Then what does this mineral mean?’

“If you’re seeing it for the first time, the one I gave you is a mineral called Mithril.”

“You mean Mithril!?”

I raised my voice without realizing it.

It’s a mithril all of a sudden. I couldn’t help but be really surprised.

“okay. Cadet Han Chun-seong’s spear was broken while training with me yesterday, so I brought it because I thought I should give him that kind of gift. And Mithril seemed like the most acceptable gift.”

The mouth that had been opened was closed as it was said.

Mithril was the mineral that the academy wanted to save money to buy.

I thought that no matter how little I caught, a few golds would be ridiculously eaten. But Carly was handing it to me now casually.

“…But, yesterday’s training wasn’t the instructor’s fault.”

It took my heart to receive it like this.

It was clear that it wasn’t Carly’s fault that she broke the spear during last night’s training. Because I was trying to put energy into the spear blade.

I couldn’t handle my power properly, so I was just ahead of my heart.

“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. That’s not something to say is wrong.”

As Carly continued to speak calmly, I stared blankly into her eyes.

“Yesterday, I gave Cadet Han Chun-seong a vague idea of the skill. I didn’t tell you specifically how to control your strength or whether you can contain your energy. Because I didn’t think it was that stage yet. But now that I think about it, that was my mistake. So, it’s my fault that Cadet Han Chun-seong put too much power into it.”

“Instructor. You don’t have to say that.”

“No, it was definitely my fault. It’s not that I’m trying to be considerate of Cadet Han Chun-seong, it’s because I really feel that way.”

I couldn’t answer anything in a row.

If she knew better than me, I would have known, because I’m not at the level of answering yes or no.

However, it was a lie to say that she was not considerate of me.

‘Mithril isn’t something that can be given so simply.’

Giving a rare mineral such as mithril to a mere cadet was excessive for anyone to see.

…Seeing the mineral that still glows softly, a great conflict arose in my heart.

‘I haven’t done anything to Carly. Can I get the Mithril?’

I received help from the training room and magical engineering items, but I did nothing for her.

“Is it hard to get that far?”

Then, involuntarily, I nodded at the voice I heard.

“No matter how well-intentioned you are, to receive mithril… I haven’t done much for the instructor.”

“Then I’ll erase this mithril as a debt.”

“Debt… you mean?”

As I answered, I took my eyes off the mithril, and Kali, who rested her chin on the table and looked at me, was facing me as if looking at a strange creature.

“okay. This mithril is a debt I owe to the cadet of Hancheon Castle. It’s a debt that I hope Cadet Han Chun-seong can develop and move forward like now, and it’s also a kind of gift that I want you to listen to me more carefully. So, don’t refuse anymore, accept it. got it?”

I finally nodded my head at her repeated voice.

“Yes. I will erase it as a big debt.”

“It is a big debt. Then, since you answered like that, you should listen to me more carefully today, right?”

When he said it in a strange voice, a small laugh leaked out even though he hesitated.

‘really… .’

It was dazzling to see how he cared for me while giving me a present.

“If there is anything the instructor wants, I will do anything.”

“…anything?”

“Yes. whatever.”

I replied that I should do whatever I could, but I blinked as Carly hesitated.

“Perhaps. Do you have any wishes from me?”

I wondered if there was anything I wanted, so I asked again.
