249. a closer distance
***
The time of affection with Carly’s words was only for a moment.
In terms of time, it’s such a short time that you wonder if it’s only a few minutes.
More than anything, I couldn’t hold her… anymore.
‘It’s too dangerous.’
her affectionate words. And the girl who came to me in action was trying to occupy my heart so greatly.
So even I had a hard time controlling my shaking.
hug me,
I reached out my hand first,
Carly understands me and tells me that she loves me…
because it was dangerous
I felt it just by hugging her and accepting her heart.
Even my mind and attitudes, which I had firmly decided on, could be shaken by her affection.
Seruk.
So even as I slipped out of her arms, I had to straighten my heart.
“…”
Kali, who lets me go with my gestures. Even the passing of her red hair touched me so much.
Even as we met eyes, he opened his mouth with difficulty.
“I just… thank you.”
She whispered love to me, and I know I should, but I couldn’t.
Even though she showed her sincerity, I couldn’t even say that I loved her.
“… … huh.”
Even as I watched Carly smile with the little horse, I carefully held her hand.
Seruk.
…My heart fluttered loudly again just by putting my hand on top of the white one.
“…”
Even now, I had a strong desire to tell Carly that I love her.
But, I can’t promise to only love her.
It felt like if I told her back that I loved her now, that in itself would feel like deceiving her.
‘Even if… .’
I couldn’t say it because I thought I would feel that way even if Carly didn’t.
Seruk.
Even as I gently caressed her hand, I felt sorry.
I felt like I would need time to properly establish my values and changed mind. In order to be able to sincerely say that I love someone while embracing others, I had to prepare my heart properly.
…And I thought that the country should raise the value of existence to that extent.
So that the girl who feels excessive is not excessive to me.
So that I can have a reputation big enough to have someone I love that much.
If you don’t do that… .
I seemed to be having a harder time.
… … .
The reason I see Carly regularly after that.
The fundamental reason for being here.
Recalling that, I faced the air that shook greatly in front of my eyes.
—-Vibration.
Kali’s characteristics, supernatural characteristics, had overwhelming power beyond common sense.
Following the trail of the sword that embroidered the air, the air shook greatly, and the aftermath was rushing intensely at me.
“… … !”
Facing it, I now push through the window. My heart was no longer shaken.
Shuuk-!
Spiral air flow splendidly rises along the blade of the spear, dyeing the air in another color, and forming an intense sum as it encounters the atmosphere shot by Kali.
Wei-eu-ing!
The resonant sound that seems to sharpen the ears as the power of each other meets is impressive.
Still, there was no hesitation.
Seruk!
As if turning the foot after taking a step, the body turns, and even the blade of the spear splendidly rotates and is embroidered again.
The moment when the spiral air flow splendidly fluttered and embroidered the atmosphere.
The power of the spiral naturally flowed through my body.
The expression of a skill that continues like breathing.
“…!”
For a moment, as my vision was colored by a strange wave, even time seemed to flow slowly.
Watching Kali’s red eyes follow my spearhead as she retrieves the sword at the same time, I quickly close the distance to her.
Saaa!
Through the splendidly fluttering spiral airflow, I could feel the power filling up my entire body.

Now that I am going to attack Kali with all my might, I will further expand the use of my power by manifesting a skill like an immediate shot.
keying!
Immediately after, her sword struck the spear blade like light, and the spear blade shook dangerously with a strange sound. In addition, as the spirals embedded in the blades were erased at once, I forced myself to manifest the spiral airflow again.
Squeak!
The moment the slightly rising spiral air current wrapped around the spear blade, the field of view changed dramatically.
■■■■!!
When the vibration-infused sword and the spiral-infused spear collided, an indescribable sound resounded in my ears like crazy, but the hand that swung the spear did not stop even for a moment.
ㅡ! ㅡㅡㅡ!! ㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
The spear was blocked, bounced, and even though he felt the load, he could not stop.
Through the sparks flying brilliantly due to the edge of the spear that met the sword, I came to mind only one thing before I knew it.
‘I have to endure it.’
As I matched with her, I felt the sense that my skills were being broken countless times.
The power gap cannot be narrowed.
so i can move on By being broken countless times by her, so that my heart will not be broken even in a bigger crisis.
Chae Ae Aeng!!
When the blade of the spear was pushed away with a strong sound, I had to put my whole body back involuntarily.
Slurp!
While dragging the ground in the training ground, he hurriedly picked up his posture.
If I didn’t try to shed her power for a moment, I felt like I would miss the spear.
“ha… … .”
As his suppressed breath burst out, he held his spear and raised his hand, holding his breath.
It was clearly visible in my field of vision.
Kali’s posture with the blade down while standing still. Her posture was undisturbed in the slightest, and the red eyes staring at me through the faintly flowing red hair were cold.
‘It’s strong.’
Really strong, but too strong.
Today more than the last sparring, and now more than an hour ago, Kali seemed to show off her strength to me every moment.
A heart that wants to give up.
Took!
While stepping out again, the skill is displayed.
Saaa!
The spiraling air current that flowed along the spear blade burst out explosively, and the vision was once again stained.
Crossing the space, the spear blade strikes again.
The splendidly fluttering spiral airflow began to turn colorless, and unlike before, the airflow that raged like a blizzard rushed towards her sword facing me.
Squeaky!!
Let’s offset even the distorted atmosphere as if the spiral air current is erasing it all.
“…”
I could clearly see Carly narrowing her eyes slightly.
I suddenly realized that I wasn’t looking at her sword. I just realized how she treats me by accepting me like this.
‘Completely suppressed.’
That’s why I could feel the momentum of her sword now.
Even though she greatly reduced the vibrations of her sword and reduced its power, she knew the retaliation Kali would take.
So I inadvertently twisted the hand holding the spear blade intensely.
Sarah Rock!
The spear blade, which had been extending straight, was shot in a spiral as if it were spinning, and it led to a completely different change as she encountered her sword, which was trying to crush the spear blade.
Kiyi Profit!!
While the spear blade and the sword body engaged fiercely and a grotesque sound rang out, the spear blade was soon sliding along the sword body.
‘I can reach it.’
At this rate, I can reach her more clearly than before.
But at that moment.
Quaang!!
With an explosion, the spear blade went downward as if it could not resist.
“… … .”
The spear blade, which had been sliding on the blade, crashed into the ground in a single moment.
The trajectory of the spear blade was bent at once, as if it had landed on a gigantic force.
Even as I stared at the spear blade dug into the hollow ground, the sight of the blade holding the spear blade loftily on top of the spear frame adorned my vision in a daze.
“…”
I blinked my eyes as I kept my hands free and the blade of the spear in my eyes.
Took.
Then, at the moment when I stumbled without even realizing it, I had no choice but to be hugged by her hand gently pulling me.
“Cadets of Han Chun-seong. It was just dangerous.”
I awkwardly nodded in her arms as she gently hugged me, but didn’t say anything.
‘how… .’
I didn’t even know that he held me in his arms in an unstable position. But the moment I thought the spear blade was stuck in the ground, I was already hugged by Carly.
I wonder if Carly had intended it all, that the blade of my spear, which I thought had touched her, collapsed so rapidly.
I just blinked my eyes blankly as I thought about it.
“As expected… Instructor Carly is strong.”
Then, the words that escaped my mouth were powerless voices.
“The target that Cadet Han Chun-seong showed a moment ago was astonishing. It was good to try to change every moment, and the timing to control the power while expressing the skill was also good.”
Her voice whispered compliments to me as if whispering in my ear, and my heart melted, but a faint smile leaked out.
“thank you… .”
I have no strength at all even though I spit out the words with a feeling of exhaustion that fills my whole body.
Even though I was hugging her like this, I only felt that I was leaning on her.
Still, I became aware of it.
I was so immersed and focused on Dalian. When I was embraced by her like this, I couldn’t think of anything else.
Just to feel this happiness… .
“Still, a cadet of Han Chun-seong. Do you really have to do such dangerous training? I’m willing to do it because I wanted it to be done, but… I think the risk is too great.”
A faint smile leaked out as I accepted her soft hand gently sweeping my back.
“I think I have to do it like this. Because I want to grow more.”
This sparring with Kali was completely different from previous training methods.
Quite risky, in a way that feels reckless.

Nevertheless, it was necessary to prepare for the next crisis that would come soon.
‘Because I have to be more nervous from now on.’
Just the third episode.
[Blood-Stained Despair]
…Crisis and adversity that will come without a break now.
It really was just the beginning.
