Became an Academy Spearman chapter 313

313. Crossing hearts

***

The weekend is over and the 11th week of the academy has begun.

And the academy wasn’t closed.

The week begins, and let’s leave the dormitory to listen to lectures. I saw several people in my eyes.

I immediately felt that the atmosphere at the academy was chaotic.

“…”

As we walked along, the complexions of the cadets were still not bright.

‘Maybe this is natural.’

It’s not an accident that can be recovered within a few days.

…I didn’t even know that I was abnormal because I was trying to move forward casually.

Though I thought so, I inadvertently looked at the side.

“David. Are you okay?”

“What… I’m fine.”

David, who answered calmly, also had a quite different atmosphere from before.

Even a shadow was cast over the always bright face of the guy, and he looked heartbroken.

“If you feel bad, taking a break is one way.”

“Because I heard that from you… Is my expression that bad?”

I was a little worried about the way he answered my words with a smile.

To be honest, I had almost no ties except for a few cadets in my class, but David was an active guy who was friendly with everyone.

As a result of this accident, some of the cadets I was close to were seriously injured or even killed… Even the heartache I felt was bound to be much greater than mine.

“Such agar. You really don’t look that good.”

“I’m just… A little tired.”

On the contrary, he smiled awkwardly at the question.

“And you said you fought against Luna yesterday, aren’t you overexerting yourself?”

“It’s not too hard. I do it because I can stand it.”

Literally, I wasn’t really pushing myself.

The reason why my body is so tired right now is not because of the aftermath of the battle, it’s just because of the mana injected by Arya.

‘Did they say that the limit of mana was increased by force?’

At first glance, I remembered the explanation I had heard from Ariya.

In order to stop the mana leaking from my body for the time being, I injected her own mana into my body to stay.

The effect of her mana on my physical condition was quite large.

It feels like a foreign body feeling that is not originally mine remains in my body, to the point of being honest, it bothers me a lot.

“Yes. I’m sure you’ll do well, but take a break anyway.”

“Don’t worry, I’m resting a lot.”

It wasn’t long before I was able to enter the classroom.

Jerbuck….

As we made our way to our seats, we noticed several empty seats in the classroom.

Originally, there were sparse empty seats that should have been filled more in the current time zone.

My heart naturally felt heavy when I thought that all of these were the positions of injured or dead cadets.

“…The seats are empty.”

When David said it as if he was conscious of it, I replied calmly.

“Yes. Still, I think it’s going to be a little quieter for a while.”

I heard from Carly again that the lecture is going normally.

Because of the frequent cancellations of recent accidents due to a series of accidents, it is inevitable that the course will continue because the progress has been delayed for a long time in other years.

However, I heard that the content of the lecture itself, which was continued amidst repeated dangers, was drastically changed.

“I hope so.”

She thought she could catch her breath for the time being as she watched David calmly listen to her words.

‘At least….’

An accident like this one won’t happen for a while.

It was also a time for Leonhard to focus on growth, as outdoor lectures were reduced around this time of year, and even dangerous places with various crises were not approached.

Dreuk.

How much time had passed, Carly entered the classroom. The atmosphere in the cluttered classroom was immediately cleaned up.

Good!

While arranging the brought textbooks on the table, Carly took a look inside the classroom.

“I know you guys are having a hard time right now, and I think you need to make up your mind the more times like this.”

Kali’s voice resounds calmly.

As the cadets who received her gaze corrected her body and listened to her, I also listened to her words even more.

“I don’t think it will be a big help, but I’m going to point out the reality we are facing. I can’t say with certainty that accidents like this won’t happen at the academy in the future.”

Taking a short breath, Carly narrowed her eyes even more and said as if to affirm.

It was her face that I think she feels guilty now.

A heavy heart for not being able to protect several cadets. Even as I looked at her, her heart was not at ease.

“……”

Then she spoke again.

“Even now, the instructors are doing their best. Eliminate the danger and prevent it from happening again… The reality is that all assistant instructors are also mobilized for outdoor lectures. The imperial family recognized the danger of this accident and said they would dispatch a large number of knights to protect it, and high-ranking noble families also promised various support.”

At the end, most of the cadets’ complexions brightened at the word imperial family and high-ranking nobles, while there were also cadets whose complexions were hardening.

And I belong to the latter few.

‘It doesn’t mean that much.’

Students of noble families must have realized how unexpected this disaster was.

That it wasn’t an accident that happened because I wasn’t prepared.

The fact that this kind of accident happened despite ‘preparation’….

So there will be additional troops from the imperial family and support from high-ranking noble families. You won’t be able to relax your mind thinking about the dangers that will appear in the future.

“So, from now on, I will be more careful in lectures. For the time being, all outdoor lectures are also excluded for that reason. We will resume outdoor lectures only after knights dispatched from the imperial family and support from high-ranking families have settled down in the academy.”

Carly cut her off and looked at us once again.

A gaze with a transparent meaning.

At the same time, her eyes were different from before.

Looking at us, with determined eyes as if resolving themselves…….

—-The relationship is getting farther away.

Even though we are together, I feel a sense of distance that is hard to explain in words.

Even though she didn’t want to think so… Luna felt that way.

In just one day, she realizes that the relationship between herself and Milia is about to change drastically…….

“Everyone did a good job listening to the lecture today, I hope everyone takes care of themselves.”

After the afternoon lectures are all over, the cadets start leaving their seats one by one.

Luna cautiously looked to the side.

‘It’s cold….’

I could even feel the coldness on Milia’s always soft and caring face.

“…Milia?”

Even so, as she cautiously called her, I saw her head turned to me.

“Yes. Why?”

“I want you to go to a cafe together, so I have something to tell you….”

Although she spoke, she was not confident in her voice.

The feeling that I’ve done something wrong to Milia is just confining me.

“……”

Milia stared at me for a moment without speaking.

And this time, somehow, I didn’t avoid Milia’s gaze.

She felt vaguely.

She tells Milia now that I need to get closer somehow.

“Okay. Let’s do it.”

“Thank you.”

“No. With something like this.”

Her heart pounded loudly while she was arranging her seat with her short answer.

Pounding.

Thumping….

‘I just need to do well from now on.’

Since I know exactly why Milia is acting so coldly towards me, I thought I should do my best from now on.

And what happened yesterday in Dalian….

It was just a momentary accident.

The moment I nodded and tried to get her up from her seat.

“Luna.”

My body seemed to stiffen momentarily at the sudden voice.

That was a voice that shouldn’t be heard. A voice that should never call me at this timing.

“……”

But my body started reacting without me knowing.

As I slowly turned around, I saw a man standing there as if it were natural.

Under the black hair, black eyes were staring at me.

“Do you have a minute today? I have something to tell you.”

Looking at me with a light smile, I inadvertently shook my head.

Even so, my gaze naturally turned to Millia, who was beside me.

“……”

Milia’s eyes looking at me were so empty.

As the already cold eyes grew even colder, I felt a genuine sense of crisis.

“No! No time today I don’t think it will ever happen.”

The time when Han Chun-seong was rejected due to an overreaction.

“…No. Luna, I’m fine.”

In a voice that no one can hear… Milia spoke to me.

“Han Chunseong said he has something to say to you.”

At that voice that was so cold that my emotions disappeared… For a moment, it felt like my heart sank.

“……”

It was so cold.

… The eyes looking at me and Milia’s voice were so nonchalant that it seemed like her mind would turn white.

‘I’m not like that at all….’

Thoughts that did not leak out of my mouth filled my mind like an echo.

My body only reacted momentarily.

It was never like he was interested in Han Chun-seong.

“…Milia?”

I absentmindedly called Milia again, but she didn’t even look at me anymore.

That’s even more…

It felt more scary to me.
