102. Do you think it’s weird and then?
***
the next morning.
Break time during morning lectures.
Took.
“Agar Castle. Why are you so blank today? Didn’t you sleep last night?”
When David, who tapped Cheon-seong on the shoulder, spoke as if it was strange, Cheon-seong blinked and smiled awkwardly.
“It’s just… I’m a little tired.”
As I answered, my vision was blurry.
But when I blinked again, my normal vision soon returned.
It was the same classroom as always, and now that Carly had declared a break, it was clear that most of the cadets were enjoying their break.
“hey. Aren’t you overdoing it again?”
“…don’t overdo it. I’m also adjusting properly these days.”
As he answered again, his eyes widened again.
‘Let’s calm down.’
Seruk. I pinched my thighs to straighten my mind through pain.
Obviously yesterday I wasn’t pushing myself that hard.
The training in the park last night left me feeling exhausted from the night before, but I didn’t overdo it to the point of losing consciousness or causing my body to complain of extreme pain.
“ha. I’m not sure. Are you really controlling properly? Anyway, you seem to be in a bit of a precarious situation today, so get some rest after the lecture. If you overdo it at a time like this, bigger things happen.”
“…that’s how it should be.”
I really appreciate David caring about me. However, unlike the answer, the situation was not good for me.
Right away, the first incident will happen tomorrow.
Even if I tried to rest, I couldn’t. Because I haven’t reached the skill yet.
“I’ll do it in moderation.”
“Don’t just answer like that, do you really want to rest?”
“okay. Thank you for your concern.”
The car I was talking about. The other cadets began to take their seats one by one.
As Carly tried to continue the lecture, I slowly organized my thoughts.
‘ha… .’
And then, on the outside, he kept replying that he was fine. A sigh escaped from within.
…I have a really big problem.
Early on, I thought I had reached the 8th and 9th ridges until I completed my skills, but there was a big setback in my progress.
I was like a frog in a well. It wasn’t until dawn last night that I realized how vast the power I was seeking was.
After countless attempts to manipulate the aura more closely, I felt like I was facing the source of my power.
ㅡHelix is infinite.
…It was a newly realized reason yesterday, and a concept that drove me into extreme confusion.
The change in the concept I realized was huge, and I didn’t have enough time above all else to deal with that concept.
How close to impossible it was to try to acquire skills in a short period of time. The more I learned about my power, the more paradoxically it felt.
It was as if a bucket was constantly trying to scoop up water from a very large lake.
He says he doesn’t have time right now and tries to scoop up the water from the lake somehow. As if the water in the lake showed no signs of diminishing at all, they were impatient.
My heart now… … .
“… A celestial cadet?”
Then, when I heard a voice, reality came in belatedly in a daze.
Suddenly, the eyes of the cadets around me were focused on me.
“Agar Castle. it’s okay?”
Even David carefully called me, and only then did I feel that Carly had called me.
“Could you be a cadet of Han Chun-seong? Are you feeling very unwell right now?”
I hurriedly shook my head at the unexpected question.
“it’s okay. Instructor.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case, but if it’s really bad, it’s okay to tell me. You don’t have to put up with it.”
Even so, I nodded awkwardly even though Carly kept repeating it.
…
good.
“Then let’s end the morning lecture here.”
Carly’s words marked the end of the morning lecture.
My mind was still blank throughout the lecture. Carly asked me if I was okay once in the middle, but then I was able to answer in time.
Now that the lecture is over, I don’t know how the time has passed.
“You really look bad. Do you have any concerns?”
“no. I’m in a bit of a mood today. Anyway, let’s go eat lunch.”
“Is that so? Then I will buy the meal ticket for today. Cheer up too. You look very strange today.”
“It’s really okay. Don’t worry too much.”
While giving attention to David, who was worried about the extension, at times like this, I felt really big as a friend.
As we headed to the cadet cafeteria, we could see a long line as usual.
Even while standing in line right at the end, I looked around for no reason.
-What are you eating today?
– Let’s eat something light. We have a practical lecture in the afternoon.
-Oh right. That’s right… I shouldn’t eat too much lunch.
Even watching the cadets talking in pairs of threes and threes, something didn’t feel real.
‘It’s such a peaceful daily life.’
It never really dawned on me that such a terrible event would happen tomorrow.
“But you know you shouldn’t choose too expensive meal tickets, right?”
A momentary laugh escaped from David’s cautious voice.
“Well. It’s something you get, but you have to eat something expensive.”
“Look at me. I’m just paying for my living expenses this month?”
As we exchanged words, I also emptied my thoughts a little.
The more you think about it, the more reality doesn’t change.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Just… . i just do the best i can
…
Time passed and it was already afternoon.
As soon as the lecture was over, I went to talk to Carly.
No matter how much I thought about it, in the end, I had no choice but to ask her for help.
Even if you practice alone, you won’t be able to reach it. It seemed like a concept that was too vast to reach. So I needed help.
Seruk.
I calmed down as I grabbed the spear prepared in Kali’s private training room.
Impatience, urgency, sense of crisis, whatever you can call it, seemed to keep whipping me.
Raising her sword, Carly suddenly opened her mouth.
“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. I hope you eat as lightly as possible and don’t immerse yourself in any emotions too much. The more impatient you are, the more you have to make up your mind.”
When she spoke as if she had read my mind, I accepted her words despite my surprise.
Take a deep breath and clear your mind.
“Right now, more than anything else, I need to focus on my strength control. And even if your mind is greatly confused right now, it doesn’t mean that the efforts you’ve been making will disappear.”
Carly’s voice was even colder than usual.
When I told her that I had practiced last night, she looked at me and let out a deep sigh. Even in today’s lecture, I continued to show a strange appearance, so it was only natural that she would be angry.
…Even though I knew Carly would disappoint me, I had no choice but to be honest.
I couldn’t find an answer right now.
I can’t help but hope that she will give me some kind of answer… .
Thinking about it, I slowly began to blow energy into the window.
slippery… !
Then, lines of blue light began to appear as if drawn in the air. And the lines of blue light were three, eight, twenty… It grew into countless stems and soon began to form a single spiral.
“Still, there must have been results from the training….”
Despite Carly’s strange voice, I met her gaze without speaking.
Now I can take any word from her. Even if Carly looked at me a little badly, I had to move on.
“There have been achievements. The concept I felt has changed a lot.”
“If you change, are you saying it’s very different from the concept you first felt?”
“Yes. Originally, I drew the result of the energy contained in the spear canceling each other’s strength, but last night, the flow I felt suddenly changed.”
This was the biggest reason I felt there was no answer.
Compared to the concept I felt at first, the concept I feel now is completely different. It’s vastly different from just a few days ago.
I hoped to encounter the opponent’s power and cancel it as it is, but the concept I realized was not a counteracting force, but an infinitely moving spiral.
As if that’s the right way. The concept changed and showed me a new path.
But there was a very big problem there.
…It has become a much greater power than I originally thought.
Adjusting the power to the point that I couldn’t even put it fully into the spear I was holding, and if it wasn’t enough to lightly wrap the spear, I couldn’t even create a spiral beyond that.
“……”
Carly seemed troubled by my words.
I waited for her troubles to end while maintaining the spiral in the spear. I now know for sure that I can’t perfect the skill right away.
The moment you try to put the changed concept into the window.
Also that my body won’t stop at simply losing consciousness.
‘I’m sure… my body will be ruined.’
It felt instinctive.
The moment I realized the concept of the infinite spiral, I even stopped breathing for a moment, as if my body was afraid of its power.
“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. It may be difficult, but can you tell me specifically how the concept of skill has changed?”
I thought about Carly’s question for a while before opening my mouth.
“It is infinite.”
“infinite?”
“Yes. An infinitely rotating blue spiral of light. It’s a concept I’ve come to understand.”
I could no longer put into words the concept I had come to realize.
It seemed to me that the notion that if I had to face a force too powerful to counter, I could face it with an infinite spiral corresponding to it.
without even knowing my current situation. It was like forcibly injecting the principle of enormous power into my head.
Then I felt as if all the concepts I had realized during my training had gone back to nothing.
“Then, a cadet of Hancheon Castle.”
“Yes. Instructor.”
“I don’t know how to say this. Do you still feel the feeling that you will be able to reach the skill?”
I was speechless for a moment at the question that hit the point.
Carly was seeing right through my condition with just one word.
“…no. It has changed uncertainly.”
“I’m so glad.”
…And I couldn’t help but blink in a daze at the answer I heard.
Why did the word fortunate come out?
“There are not many people who can learn skills as a whole, but depending on the characteristics and people, they get really different characteristics. The power is different and the influence of the skill is all different.”
“…then.”
“And the fact that Cadet Han Chun-seong spoke of infinite right now. It means that he climbed a very dangerous staircase.”
I couldn’t understand the words even though the voice continued calmly.
Dangerous stairs.
What does that mean?
“Because I also felt infinity.”
“…Instructor Carly?”
“Yes. In that sense, I know what kind of trouble Cadet Han Chun-seong is going through right now. That’s why it’s very dangerous.”
Kali lowered her sword and slowly began to approach me.
“For now, release the helix that’s holding onto the spear.”
I had no choice but to follow her words in a daze.
again.
She came close to me and put her hand on my window.
Seruk.
And as if she put her hand on mine… I couldn’t help but stare blankly at her.
“Hey… Instructor Carly?”
“I don’t know how the cadet Han Chun-seong came to the concept of infinity, but it’s a really dangerous concept. I don’t want to have physical contact with the cadet like this, but I can’t help it.”
Carly, who said that, had a serious look in her eyes.
So I couldn’t even resist while watching her slowly roll over me.
“And I’ll tell you first, even the cadets of Han Chun-seong… can’t you think of something strange?”
Her breath tickled his ears.
