Became an Academy Spearman

848. [Western Front] – Azazel and Glesia (124)

***

A cafe in the spacious grounds of the academy.

Azazel and Glesia.

A rare moment follows where two people spend time together.

And in that, Glesia also felt something.

‘monster.’

The impressions I felt after meeting Azazel for a long time were extremely concise and short.

Azazel was simply a ‘monster’.

Although it was my first day at the special academy, I was not at a level comparable to other special academy cadets.

It’s just that the rank itself is different.

Rather, at the level of the special academy cadets, there were some cadets below me, and most of them were in the same level as Mili and Luna, who had just entered level 6.

So Azazel’s presence became even more noticeable.

Maybe it’s because he’s just around the corner from level 7, but Azazel is so incredibly talented… … .

“So what’s your business?”

Even as I thought about it, I opened my mouth first.

“I just wanted to talk to you and find out how you changed so much.”

“… … “You’re curious about my changes.”

“Well, if you ask me, it’s like that.”

Azazel leisurely answered and touched his glass.

The face looked as if it were indifferent, just like the one seen in the Grand Colosseum.

The feeling of not being very interested in everything and not expressing any interest.

A presence that feels as if it exists alone and far away.

“I think your approach to me was quite different.”

So I spoke more directly.

The true intention hidden within.

Because I know the real reason why he came to me.

“Different? what?”

“I felt it in the past at the Grand Colosseum, but you always only saw one person.”

Even as he spoke, his eyes were pitch black.

Azazel’s appearance is clearly not much different from before.

But it feels different.

That was because my attitude towards Azazel had changed greatly.

“… … Hmm. “I only saw one person.”

“Yes, because you were always looking at Han Tiansheng.”

I was really annoyed on the inside.

It always seemed to exist alone and alone from us, and the direction in which its gaze was directed was determined.

‘Han Cheon-seong… … .’

The one person I can’t see even though I want to see it now.

It was safe to say that this woman’s only concern was my lover, whom I believed was doing well, although I was uneasy about the news that many things had happened on the Western Front.

“Did I do that?”

“Everyone knows, not just me. “At least you had an unusual interest in Han Tiansheng.”

Even though he said it explicitly, I was curious.

Azazel was the one who approached me first. She said it was me who was asking the question.

But it didn’t matter.

Because I was going to have a serious conversation with Azazel someday.

I thought that if it was related to Han Tiansheng, we would inevitably encounter it.

Grumbling.

Azazel gently brushed his black hair and nodded very calmly.

“Well, I can’t really deny it. Actually, I did that.”

“I’ll ask you straight, why is that? Why are you so abnormally interested in Han Tiansheng?”

There was no opportunity before.

In the Grand Colosseum, it was too much to just think about myself, and there was nothing else to spare.

But now I could ask with confidence.

Because now I’m facing level 7, the same level as her. Because I have a feeling that I will grow up soon… … .

‘Even if it looks like a monster, it will catch up to you someday.’

Now I can approach Azazel’s mysterious atmosphere calmly.

“Glesia. But, is my answer that important?”

The answer that followed was different from what I thought.

Azazel’s eyes were strange as he looked at me vaguely, his eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as if he thought my words themselves were funny.

Still, I didn’t waver.

“Azazel, don’t say strange things for no reason. “I said this to hear your answer.”

“I have no other intention, I just don’t think my answer is that important. No matter what I answer, the relationship between you and Han Tiansheng will not change, and nothing will change.”

“… “Does that mean it’s not a rational interest?”

“Push… … !”

Looking at Azazel, who suddenly burst out laughing, I blinked blankly.

Why are you smiling?

I asked a very reasonable question, the most likely question based on Azazel’s behavior so far. Is that enough to make you laugh like that?

“Ahaha. No, nothing. just… … There’s something very funny about it. I might look like that. “Don’t worry, it’s definitely not like that.”

“To be honest, I’m in a bad mood right now.”

“I’m not laughing like this because I treat you lightly.”

As I looked at Azazel still smiling and talking, my eyes naturally wrinkled.

It’s unpredictable.

He usually seems very indifferent, but now he shows these strange emotions again.

Anyone can see that he is interested in Han Cheon-seong, but when asked about it, he denies it loudly.

But it doesn’t even look fake.

That was confusing to me.

‘Then why?’

Why was she interested in Han Tiansheng?

The Azazel I saw didn’t really pay the slightest attention to anyone except Han Tiansheng. Even Celestia, who made it to the finals, didn’t pay much attention.

How can that seem normal?

“Since you’re so curious, I’ll tell you too. “Why am I interested in Han Tiansheng?”

“I want you to tell me as honestly as possible.”

“I won’t lie, so don’t worry. “The reason is really simple.”

Tuk.

My eyes were drawn to her hand that suddenly knocked on the table. Azazel’s bright red lips twitched strangely.

“The only person who can surpass me.”

“… … what?”

“I was interested because I thought the only person in this academy who could surpass me was Han Cheon-seong. “Including all the representatives and senior cadets from other academies I saw at the last Grand Colosseum, there was only one.”

These words are beyond arrogant and reach the height of conceit.

Azazel spoke to me while gently resting his chin, as if he was revealing his feelings transparently.

However, I had a strange feeling while facing Azazel like that.

‘I don’t feel any discomfort.’

What she said didn’t sound strange to me at all.

Actually, I felt it as I faced her now. Because Azazel’s ridiculous talent makes me feel like a wall.

And that made it even more strange.

‘I heard that Han Tiansheng won against Azazel in the past… … .’

I honestly thought that there were quite a few strange aspects of the result of the game at that time, even looking back on it now.

From the beginning of the game to the end, Han Tiansheng was in the position of a ‘challenger’. He unleashed all of his skills and clashed with all his might, demonstrating his true worth that no one had ever seen before.

Yes, it was unquestionable power.

Nevertheless, Han Cheon-seong was not enough, and in the end, like a miracle, he rose to the next level and achieved victory by demonstrating new skills.

But if you think about it the other way around, it didn’t really feel like Azazel, who was in an advantageous position, was trying to end Han Tian-seong.

‘Even though I could win, it feels like I lost despite everything.’

To me, it almost seemed like they were trying to lose on purpose.

“Of course I have personal interests, but it’s not like you think of romantic relationships or anything like that. “I can confirm this.”

I hesitated with my lips as I watched Azazel answer calmly.

I didn’t want to doubt that.

I definitely got that feeling from the eyes looking at me, but that didn’t make me feel relieved.

‘It always started like that.’

It was like that from the beginning.

I also became interested in Han Cheon-seong, and we became friends, which eventually turned into affection.

My mind changed so naturally that by the time I realized it, I was already liking it so much that I couldn’t give it up.

I didn’t think it was much different for other people.

‘Even if it’s Azazel… … .’

After Han Tiansheng returns, his mind might change over time.

“Glesia, now answer my question.”

“… … “Ask.”

“How did you change so much in such a short time? “I think it’s definitely related to Han Tiansheng. Did something special happen before you went to the front?”

I was momentarily startled by the question as if it were an interrogation.

The reason why I grow and change so rapidly. When asked when that period started, there was only one thing I could guess.

I, too, had one guess.

A very big opportunity… … .

“Surely, you won’t just gloss over what you said and hide it now, right? “I’m sure you can guess something.”

After repeated questioning, I carefully checked the mana spread around me again.

I had already spread the mana to prevent the sound from escaping, but I still had to check again.

Because this is not an easy topic to talk about.

“… … “Promise me one thing and I’ll tell you.”

“promise? “I answered you sincerely, but you even ask me to promise?”

“Because it is such an important fact. “I can’t tell you unless you promise.”

I haven’t told anyone yet, but I felt it while watching Azazel.

Even now, with his eyes drowsily open, he continues to speak to me in a strange way. That was different from other women.

And Azazel’s talent is on a different level.

‘Maybe it’s on the same level as Han Tiansheng… … .’

To me, the atmosphere that Azazel gave was unusual.

So I thought I should make an appointment in advance.

“under… … . Okay, tell me. “I’ll listen to what the promise is.”

“The promise I want is simple, I don’t want you to have a personal relationship with Han Tiansheng.”

It felt very dangerous.

I knew that I would have to share Han Cheon-seong with several women right now, but Azazel especially didn’t want to do that.

It wasn’t that kind of relationship yet, but I had a feeling that things would definitely get weird if Han Cheon-seong got involved with Azazel.

It’s almost like intuition.

‘So, no Azazel.’

I ended up asking for something in return.

“… … “That is too simple a promise for me.”

I was convinced as I looked at Azazel, who looked bland. She definitely doesn’t have anything personal. Then she must be wedged in this moment.

Don’t let him get any closer to Han Tiansheng.

“I’ll tell you if you promise.”

“Yes, I promise. So what’s the reason?”

“… … “I slept.”

“What does that mean?”

“After I had s*xual intercourse with Han Cheon-seong as a lover… … “I mean, a lot has changed.”

For a moment, I couldn’t meet Azazel’s eyes.

Now, these words themselves may be impulsive, but I was also very embarrassed to say this to someone.

“… … .”

Looking at Azazel who gently pursed his lips, I hesitated for some reason.
