Became an Academy Spearman chapter 186

186. Open [Awakening]

***

Kali’s energy that took over the space at once.

In an instant, Chunseong was overwhelmed by the energy and was unable to speak or act.

‘This… .’

What I can see right now is mana, but I felt that it was fundamentally different.

It felt so obvious. It is said that the nature of mana that each person possesses is slightly different, but the blue mana that can be seen right now was dominating the air and surging as if it were alive.

…even though it couldn’t be that way at all, it seemed like he could really feel the vitality in his energy.

Seruk.

Then, I stared blankly at Carly at the sensation of caressing my hand.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen Cadet Han Chun-seong. Call it ‘open’.”

“Open… you mean.”

As I moved my lips with a creak in response, it seemed as if even my thoughts had stopped for a moment.

“Yes open. It is a technique that greatly enhances one’s strength and completely strengthens the body. It can be said that it is a power of a completely different nature from the characteristics that are granted.”

I had to swallow my saliva as I was overwhelmed by the calmly explained voice.

‘… … Crazy.’

In an instant, all thoughts from before were gone.

The sadness I felt from Carly, who refused to practice skills, and other complex feelings, but all emotions faded with the single word of openness.

“I want Cadet Han Chun-seong to focus on opening, not skills. In fact, I think it is too early to teach Cadet Han Chun-seong, and it may be too much for you, but at least there will be no heavy load on your body as you train your skills.”

Carly explains to me in a friendly way. It was thrilling to see how much she cared about me, but it also really surprised me.

“Are you going to teach me… openness?”

I think he said it because he obviously had that intention. I just wanted to hear a definite answer.

Right after that, Carly nodded happily as expected.

“right. For the time being, I’m going to have the cadet Han Chun-seong learn ‘openness’ during training time. It would be close to impossible to obtain or achieve openness in a short period of time. Still, considering the endless improvement of Cadet Han Chun-seong… I think it would be much more stable to focus on opening rather than skills.”

Seruk!

Then, when she suddenly grabbed my hand tightly, my overwhelmed body seemed to wake up.

Just as the body regains freedom, even the breath that was unconsciously panting slowly regains stability.

Then, it became clearer in my vision.

The saturation of blue light manifested around Kali was just a ‘phenomenon’ created by Kali’s energy, and the core was the transparent energy surrounding Kali’s body.

“… … .”

A mysterious sight that seemed to cover Kali’s body with a near-colorless haze. Even so, just by looking at her, I felt that she was much stronger than before.

‘I didn’t even think of asking for the opening.’

I thought blankly, but no words came out.

Of course, I knew about the openness that appeared in the work.

Opening could be easily said to be a kind of ‘liberation of power’. In other words, it was a kind of ‘awakening’, and it was not a power that could be easily acquired.

Originally, the power given from this world is called a characteristic. And the mighty power that could be obtained independently of the grade of such a characteristic was opening.

However, even so, the opening is not explained in detail in the work. The existence that could awaken openness was extremely limited, and the people who could teach it were extremely rare.

“Right now, Cadet Han Chun-seong won’t understand. But step by step… I’ll teach you all. I want Cadet Han Chun-seong to believe in me and follow me. Are you okay…?”

But now.

Carly had been telling me in a soft voice that she was going to teach me to open up.

Even Leonhardt reaches level 6 of the attribute, and that ‘openness’ that is awakened by meeting an existence that can be said to be a coincidence in a great crisis… .

I nodded without thinking, but inadvertently, Kali in front of me looked really dazzling.

“I… always believed in Instructor Carly.”

I had to make up my mind so that my voice would not tremble while speaking.

‘No matter how open it is.’

I didn’t even think the day would come when I could say it in the first place. Even Leonhardt was barely recognized and could be taught about openness.

It was a rare opportunity that could be called a chance given to the main character of a novel, and it could be said to be a big starting point.

But now, such a ‘giyeon’ came to me.

It was so out of the blue that an opportunity to learn came through a being very close to her.

“Cadet Han Chun-seong said that, so I became more confident. To be honest, I had no intention of talking about opening up. But I thought that Cadet Han Chun-seong would continue to overdo it… If that’s the case, I thought it would be better to inform him about the opening.”

Carly smiled lightly, probably liking my answer, but I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

Carly looked so pretty now that the sadness I felt for her was colorless.

It was like an emotion reaching a pole in an unexpected situation, to the point where she seemed more lovable than anyone else in the world.

A sudden change in emotions to the point where sadness is felt as affection, and affection is felt as greater affection than anything else.

Then, for a moment, he stopped.

‘Wait, was Carly the one who could teach me how to open up?’

In the story, there was a time when Carly spoke to Leonhard about opening up.

But she doesn’t teach. As a light explanation, Carly mentioned that there is a clear distinction between ‘beings who use openness’ and ‘beings who can teach others’.

Because Kali had said that she belonged to the former.

It can be said that it is an Awakener who can use openness on its own, but it is a type of existence that cannot be taught to anyone.

But she was telling me something completely different.

‘Can you teach me how to open up?’

It’s the obvious truth, so he must have told me that, but it really didn’t feel real.

Although this can be seen as one of the points of change between the work and reality. That this kind of luck follows me

“Cadet Han Chun-seong must have been very surprised after experiencing the opening. take a moment to catch your breath Let’s rest a little more and continue sparring again.”

Carly was considerate of me, as if she accepted me in a different way, lost in deep thoughts.

“Yes, thank you. Instructor Carly.”

I nodded awkwardly, but it seemed to give me goosebumps.

Or should I call it shivering? It was a feeling I didn’t know what to say.

“I said it because I really wanted to teach it to you if I were a student of Han Chun-seong… I think it’s too early, but a Cadet of Han Chun-seong is possible.”

He speaks softly from beginning to end, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Carly for a single moment.

‘Is this love… .’

To the point where I could even feel a big misunderstanding towards Carly… My mind was floating.

Openness is truly one of the overwhelming forces.

It was a power that Leonhardt came to realize in order to overcome numerous crises, and it was also a power that he would use essentially in the future.

Without opening up, there will be a situation so dire that we will not be able to overcome an irrational crisis… .

Seruk.

Even as I watched Carly let go of the hand I was gently holding, my head was complicated.

“… … .”

Until now, I always thought that I could gain strength only by working hard and moving forward.

And even so… With your own efforts, you will inevitably run into limitations in the future. I was aware of that reality in my heart.

The characteristic of ‘spear’ itself is not weak.

However, no matter what I do, I can’t escape the rank of ‘Common’. That meant that the limits of my power were clear.

And I had no intention of ignoring that reality.

Even though I don’t like it through many fights, I realized it directly with this body.

Just the first day of the entrance ceremony.

When I reached level 4 of spearmanship. Leonhard showed his strength equal to or better than mine by evolving the Legendary attribute ‘Changcheon One Sword’ to level 3.

And just yesterday, when I reached level 5 of spearmanship.

…Glesia competed with her mighty power by reaching level 4 of her unique level of characteristics.

Looking at the results of Dalian alone, I won a draw and a win respectively.

However, I was fully aware that ‘all those sparring’ was possible because I was one level ahead of them.

That it was possible because my growth was faster than theirs.

In addition, I know that it will not be long before the geniuses catch up with my growth.

I didn’t always think my growth would be fast. It’s just arrogance, it’s just an illusion.

Most of the upper class cadets had already reached level 3 of their characteristics. Even level 4 is something some of the A-class cadets will probably reach within the next month.

In the case of the 5th level, it’s obviously growth that’s so fast that normal cadets probably won’t reach it this year… .

‘If it’s Leonhardt, he’ll definitely reach it before the end of the year.’

And I wasn’t confident that my talent would reach level 6 before the end of the year.

The period until next year was now about four months.

‘Because level 6 is a wall.’

It could be said that it was not just me, but even Leonhardt’s growth was greatly stagnant.

But if I took the time to realize openness now, everything would be different. To the extent that the limits of common characteristics are overshadowed. Because you can get another mighty power.

‘Through Carly… … .’

The moment I realized it, I felt like my heart was refreshingly pierced.

It’s not the joy of the moment… how I will move on in the future, whether I can continue the same rapid growth as now. It was a feeling of great relief.

“Instructor Carly…”

Inadvertently, I called Carly, who seemed to be waiting for me calmly.

“yes?”

Seeing her respond with a soft voice, I unknowingly spoke out.

“I really like it more than anyone else… No, I like it.”

I was able to change what I almost said I love you to say I like it.

A great emotion like joy that is overflowing in my heart right now. I wanted to express that somehow. Because I wanted to properly convey the joy I felt to her.

“…!”

As if I was really surprised, I couldn’t hide a smile when I saw her wide open eyes.

I felt relieved, but I felt as if I had received a gift that was too big for me, so I really liked it beyond words.

‘I feel the same now… .’

It was to the point that I wanted to hug Kali, who was standing defenselessly in front of me, in my arms.
