98. Academy Week 3: Resolution

***

ㅡThe battlefield and the academy.

There is a huge difference between the two words that I dare not even compare, but when Kali returned to the academy after being on the battlefield, there were quite a few things she felt.

It is commonly known that officers on the battlefield are sent to the academy for rest and peace of mind, but Kali was feeling a little different than that kind of stability and relaxation.

Depending on how strong you are, you can feel emotions by facing other people like this, rather than looking at someone… .

that buck that buck

The sound of Han Chun-seong’s footsteps slowly drifted farther away, and Kali heard it louder.

“……”

It was late at night, and now, as he was seeing off Cadet Han Chun-seong, he felt regret for parting with a tickling feeling in his chest.

If it’s long, it’s long, if it’s short, it’s a short day.

In the meantime, I was able to learn more about Cadet Han Chun-seong while having a more in-depth conversation.

And I could see that my eyes weren’t wrong.

He was more upright than I thought, and he tried to go right.

In addition, it was more satisfying than anything else that I received a promise that I would not overdo it in training.

‘Because they gave me mithril for that.’

A small laugh leaked out as I thought about it.

“It’s definitely an excessive gift if it’s excessive.”

I didn’t have too many regrets.

The mithril ore I gave you is the best mithril among mithril. In terms of value, it could easily be said that it was the best quality, easily worth 10 gold.

However, seeing the cadet of Han Chun-seong, as if he had seen Mithril for the first time, shimmered in front of his eyes, it was really not a bit of a waste.

‘How can a Cadet of Han Chun-seong give a different feeling until the moment he receives the gift?’

Even now, it was amazing to see the back of him slowly moving away.

If it were another cadet, he would have accepted the mithril right away, worried that I would retrieve it again.

And after I said it was a debt, I accepted it belatedly.

At that moment, he clearly saw that the word mithril had instant greed, but Cadet Han Chun-seong had endured even that greed.

“…I have a lingering lingering feeling for nothing.”

I really want to smelt a spear in my family and give it to you as a gift, but that’s probably too much. I couldn’t do that.

Even if he showed favoritism to Cadet Han Chun-seong, that would have to be talked about.

Armaments refined by the Ishtar family mean something completely different. I had to suppress that feeling too.

After the Han Chun-seong cadet completely disappeared from sight, I turned around as well.

again.

As I entered the mansion, the family butler greeted me. Rayman appeared.

“Miss Carly. You look good today.”

“okay?”

“Yes. It seems like a life he cares for very much.”

He smiled and nodded his head at Rayman’s expression with a benevolent smile.

“Yeah, I really like it. I didn’t expect to meet such a cadet I liked.”

Even as he spoke, meeting Cadet Han Chun-seong felt like destiny.

From the moment I first met him in the entrance exam, I became his instructor and now I am guiding him like this.

Then, suddenly, Cadet Han Chun-seong’s voice shimmered.

ㅡInstructor, if there is something you want from me, I will do anything.

The words he spat out after barely accepting the Mithril.

The tone that speaks quite seriously is something… It was a strange echo to me.

ㅡMaybe. Is there anything the instructor wants from me?

When I hesitated, the moment I asked again and again, I shook my head loudly even for a moment.

What I thought then, now that I think about it…

“…Lady Carly?”

“Oh, nothing.”

It felt like heat was rising in his face for a moment.

Maybe it was because I thought I favored cadet Han Chun-seong, but I felt strange thoughts from time to time without even realizing it.

Things that instructors should never do when looking at cadets…

I trembled my hands and licked my lips.

‘Then it’s like…’

Because it seemed like he was using his position as an instructor to demand something from Cadet Han Chun-seong. That was something that should never have happened.

No matter how much the cadet Han Chun-seong tells me it’s okay…

“okay. That’s why… you can’t.”

said and took heart.

I was an instructor, and Han Chun-seong’s cadets were just cadets.

That’s it… that was it.

again.

Carly slowly heads to her private room.

The butler of the Ishtar family who has faced her since childhood. Rayman couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

It was a completely new face.

So, unbeknownst to him, he had to recall the agaric castle he faced today.

‘Am I someone that Miss Carly cares about so much?’

Maybe he’s someone to look out for,

Rayman, a high-ranking knight of the Marquis of Ishtar, hardened his thoughts.

***

The beginning of the 3rd week of the academy.

monday.

“…”

Han Chun-seong, who woke up earlier than usual, quickly got up.

When I stretched out, my body felt sore from being refreshed. Even so, it was completely different from the pain I felt the day before.

“Still, it’s fortunate that the recovery is quick.”

As if my body enjoyed the long-awaited rest, my condition today was the best of the past few days.

I wonder how long it has been since I felt so refreshed while relaxing.

While warming up like that, I remembered what I had to do today.

“…I have to rest until the afternoon.”

From my conversations with Carly, I decided to take a complete break, at least until today.

And that word… I decided to accept it on the surface.

I’m really sorry Carly, but I was thinking of practicing my skills again as soon as it’s past midnight today.

Even if I set it as a marginal line, it was until Wednesday, so I had to somehow perfect my skills by tomorrow.

‘I don’t have time anymore.’

I had such a good time yesterday, and I was even able to receive an unexpected gift from Carly.

Even now, his gaze went to the self-luminous mineral placed on the table.

A mithril ore that shines even more brilliantly in the sunlight. When I inadvertently took my hand, I felt the rough and hard mineral sensation.

“First of all, the money I have to save has been greatly reduced.”

Of course, I would have to prepare for the cost of smelting the mithril, but I wanted to find at least mithril.

After stroking Mithril for a while, a small smile leaked out.

“Is there anything I can do for Carly?”

I felt sorry for just receiving it like this.

Carly told me yesterday that it was a debt. I knew that it was just a verbal debt. I wonder if it would be right for me to express sincerity properly to her.

After thinking for a moment, I shook my head.

“First of all, after the Karite work is over. Let’s think about it then.”

First of all, protecting Karite safely was the most important thing.

Class C1 classroom.

The afternoon lecture was in progress, and I was also concentrating on the lecture.

“… It is often thought that the mind and body are different. But this much I can say for sure. It’s absolutely no different, if your mind is tired, it will definitely affect your body, and conversely, even if your mind is fine, if your body is tired, it will have a big impact. Trying to separate the two… … .”

Carly’s calm voice resonates in the classroom.

I definitely sympathized with her words.

In addition to the influence of the mind on the body, if the body is unstable, there is no choice but to be mentally unstable.

By the way.

I’ve been completely ignoring it for the past few days.

No matter how strongly I wished for skills, my body clearly couldn’t follow my will.

It was unbearable, and he complained of direct pain. Like a kind of signal from the body, it gave me intense pain.

Even so, I forcibly ignored it and tried to force training.

Even though my mind and body were playing separately, I felt the aftermath of forcing myself to do so.

And yesterday, after a long time, I accepted the signal and took a break.

Thinking about it now, I could feel how reckless I had done.

“… Usually, there are many cases where the will of a cadet cannot keep up with the body. Even though you can try harder and move forward, weakness and laziness prevent you from going further. Because training is very hard and arduous. So constant training is a must for everyone. When the body is ready, the mind also has the will… .”

Carly’s words followed, and I also corrected my mindset.

again.

Footsteps could be heard nearby. Carly, who was walking lightly around the classroom, was near me before I knew it.

The car caught the eye of Kali, dressed in uniform.

“…”

“…”

As if by chance, our eyes met hers, and I did not avoid her gaze.

But then Carly’s eyes softened.

“By the way. Sometimes there are too many wills.”

When he continued talking while looking directly at me, I felt a sting in the moment.

“If you try to force yourself to continue training even though your body can’t keep up. It’s very rare, but sometimes there are cadets like that. But that could be a bad case. Proper rest is both mental and physical… ”

…says as if to pay attention and passes me by. I had no choice but to stay still.

Then, David’s eyes met.

strangely looking at me Why is he looking at me like that?

“Everyone worked hard listening to the lecture today. Today’s lecture ends here.”

At Carly’s words, the cadets stood up one by one.

And among them was David.

“Agar Castle.”

“uh. David.”

“I’d like to ask you to take a look at my practice today, but do you have any prior arrangements?”

At the words that followed, I blankly blinked and nodded.

“…how did you know that?”

“just. I got a feeling.”

The car was lightly organizing the luggage at those playful words.

“Did you make a promise to your girl beforehand?”

His hand stopped involuntarily at the words that followed. Looking at David, I couldn’t understand for a moment.

‘Did I tell you that I have an appointment with Karite?’

I don’t remember saying that for sure. David didn’t know how to talk to me like he knew.

“Looking at the reaction, it seems like the answer is correct. agaric. You are really… amazing.”

“What’s great, so how did you know?”

“just. Haha… I really have to live like you.”

“Suddenly, what are you talking about?”

“Anyway, that’s what it says. Then I’m off to practice. You are struggling today too.”

“What is hardship… You have to suffer.”

Even as I was seeing David off, I couldn’t understand.

‘Where am I going to suffer…’

He immediately rose from his seat.

Originally, today was supposed to be spent in Kali’s training room, but she had already spoken to Kali about it.

Because she wanted me to rest first, there was no way to practice today.

Even as I moved on, the window that was not tied to my back felt empty again.

‘Because the training spear can only be used in the training hall…’

I took a short breath and moved to meet Karite.
