Became an Academy Spearman

858. [Western Front] – Cyprin Devzerin (134)

***

An untimely shadow was cast over the Western Front.

New character.

Surprisingly, among the numerous guilds in the current empire, this is a special guild that only a very few are aware of.

[Merlin’s Dew]

From the very strange guild name to the fact that it was an information guild made up of a small number of elites, their stealth was unrivaled.

A guild that specializes in dealing only with the imperial family and high-ranking nobles.

Among them, the guild leader of Merin’s Dew had an even more unusual history.

-Shadow of the Empire.

A case where a being who belonged to the imperial family leaves the imperial family and creates a new force of his own. They were commonly called ‘Shadows of the Empire’.

Unlike the bright light of the empire, it is a being that performs dark tasks like a shadow.

And among them.

Rather, there was a woman who had established herself in a higher position than the bright light.

… … .

Crunch, clank, clank!

The sound of the carriage wheels rolling was loud. And even though it had been treated with various magic, the car had a slight vibration inside the carriage.

The woman in the carriage who was slightly frowning was in a bad mood the whole time.

“… “I never thought I would have to go on a mission.”

As the woman’s muttering voice echoed loudly throughout the carriage, the other two men and women riding with her opened their mouths awkwardly.

“How dare we make a judgment. “I think it’s inevitable.”

“I think Mr. Shiffrin should evaluate it himself and get involved.”

When the two men and women did not try to defy her wishes, the woman called Shiffrin snorted.

“I think I too have lived a very soft life. “The guild’s capabilities are so low that I still have to go on active duty.”

“… Ahaha. Let’s relieve our anger.”

The man remained silent after hearing her sharp voice.

They also did not try to lend a hand as much as possible.

Because I know that the position of guild leader is not one that requires actual battle… … .

However, this case was an exception.

The guild called Merin’s Dew was active and in fact showed great excellence in various missions, but the difficulty of this mission was very high.

ㅡAn investigation into Anastasia Brilliant, a key figure on the Western Front.

Moreover, since she had an excellent record against the nine apostles who suddenly appeared recently, most guild members could not bear to show confidence in this mission.

So, ironically, it could only proceed if the guild leader, Shiffrin, personally participated.

“Anyway, kids these days are so scared.”

Sighing coldly, Shiffrin shook her head and looked outside through the window of the carriage.

Creel, a large western city, was visible.

And beyond that, I could see the huge fortress and walls of the Western Front.

‘I never thought that even the main axes would fall into the category of missions.’

At the same time, I felt a new emotion.

I know that I can only proceed if I participate. So, although I showed my dissatisfaction on the outside, I actually had little desire to criticize the guild members.

“… … “I will assist Shiffrin as much as I can.”

“I will do my best too.”

At the sound of a guild member saying the right thing, laughter escaped me and my heart felt calm.

“it’s okay. “You guys just have to be careful.”

I’ll have to do this mission anyway.

In the first place, who would dare to detect the truth of the woman who was the main force of the Western Front and the current ‘strongest empire’?

It is so dangerous that even those who have reached a high level would not even try it.

‘So, this matter couldn’t have even proceeded without me.’

The emperor’s command this time had such great weight.

Anastasia’s execution of the nine apostles is worthy of praise, but it is strange that the process is unclear. But for me, I wondered what was so important about it.

That’s my personal assessment.

“… … “Am I really old and senile?”

It’s like the main axis is doing everything it’s supposed to do, but you’re suspicious that the process is unclear.

It was natural to think that the emperor was also old.

“yes?”

“I didn’t say anything to you, so don’t worry.”

“yep.”

Even though I saw Delrin keep quiet, I personally thought I could trust him.

Being at the center of the empire was a huge honor in itself, and as much as there was a lot to be gained, there was also a certain amount of darkness.

‘Because it is a noble sacrifice and a period of time bordering on self-dedication is inevitable.’

You have to put yourself down every day by standing on the front line.

Although he has gained such great power, the empire forces him to protect the empire by turning that great power into responsibility and duty.

It was actually an ‘obligation’.

It is also a duty that must not be broken.

Among them, Anastasia was more special to me personally.

‘It was a place where all the main players were called to the imperial family.’

We met only once in the past.

That was already 4 years ago. However, when I encountered a woman who resembled a girl with blue hair that seemed to cross her face at the imperial court. I felt foreign.

A feeling that gave me a strange, not-human feeling.

Even now, I can’t forget that moment.

A calm expression as if he had iron blood and didn’t even blink an eye when facing me, the emperor’s trusted person. And those deep eyes that seemed to contain an abyss naturally made me guess.

‘If we meet in the future, I won’t be able to look down anymore.’

Now, many years later, the thoughts I had back then have become a reality.

It had been the main axis of the empire for several years, and was even openly known as the strongest axis supporting the Western Front and the strongest empire.

“The empire is the strongest… … .”

Even though I suddenly said a funny word, I had a really strange laugh.

Now, I would like to confirm the ‘authenticity’ of the report that Anastasia posted under the emperor’s order, and furthermore, I would like to confirm the ‘true intention’ of Anastasia.

Although it seemed light at first glance, it was not light.

You have to find out the intentions of something stronger than yourself.

“… … Phew.”

As I took a deep breath, my mind was strangely divided.

The weight of the mission.

The excitement of seeing how a woman who looked like a girl will change over the past four years.

It was an expectation and a feeling of weight at the same time.

“It might be fun though.”

Wouldn’t it have changed a lot?

I was quite curious about how Anastasia would react when she saw me.

I too have made some progress compared to 4 years ago.

Crunch, clank, clank!

Like that, Meryl’s dew.

The carriage carrying ‘Shiffrin’, the guild leader of that special guild, was on the Western Front. They were running endlessly towards the first fortress.

***

I feel a change.

“Whoa… .”

Even as I lightly exhaled, I felt so many things.

For now, let’s start with breathing… … .

Waving your hands.

Taking steps.

Seeing the world.

Even holding a spear.

It was no exaggeration to say that everything had changed.

That’s how different the attribute level 8 was.

A feeling as if I had been born again. While an unprecedented sensation was coursing through my entire body, I could feel that my five senses themselves were noticeably heightened.

‘Status window.’

I briefly called up the status window and checked my changed abilities.

*

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

*Ability level.

[Strength 88]

[Agility 91]

[Stamina 90]

[horsepower 95]

[Lucky 9]

[Resistance 8]

*Holding characteristics [1]

[Spear Lv.8 growth rate +0% (inheritance in progress)]

(Keyword to reach level 9 attribution: You must reach the state of ‘many changes’)

(Proposal for growth efficiency due to continental influence: You must realize the 6th rite of Surana Seonchichi.)

… … .

*Unique properties [2]

[High Elf’s Mana Properties]

ㅡThe body’s natural recovery and maintenance power are greatly improved, and mana recovery is greatly increased by 85%.

[suppression]

-You can interfere with the principles and concepts of any force and suppress them.

(Currently the power to suppress is 33% of total mana)

ㅡㅡㅡㅡ

*

We only focused on the most noticeably changed abilities and changes that needed to be recognized.

“… … “So much has changed.”

Now the ability level is almost in triple digits.

In addition, mana properties have changed for the better, and the efficiency of suppression has increased significantly compared to before.

It was worth seeing because each and every one of them grew by leaps and bounds.

And I feel like there were changes that did not appear in the status window.

Establishment of my power.

Countless high-level principles and experiences about windows were instilled into my head. And as far as the distribution of power, it was similar to what Eustea had and was like a kind of base.

A huge change that seems to have made my foundation stronger and more solid.

Sreuk.

While gently holding the spear, I walked forward with a light heart.

“I have to go today too.”

Now my mornings, unless I had a mission, seemed to consist of tea and conversation with Anastasia.

The frequency of appearance of apostles and monsters, which had significantly decreased since the last crisis, was also intended to further solidify the rumors about her and me that were immediately spreading in the world.

And for me personally.

“… … “Because it’s a big help.”

Crash.

Even as I closed the door and walked away, I truly felt that way. Because I think there is so much to learn from Anastasia in many ways.

‘I thought it was like a dream to grow and gain something just through conversation.’

But when I got to talk to someone like Anastasia, it felt quite realistic.

Her words were clearly helpful to me, and it was thanks to her help, whether I knew it or not, that I was able to move forward with such a firm foundation for growth over the past few days.

Still, curiosity arose.

‘How will Anastasia react?’

About my growth to level 8. Wouldn’t she be a little surprised too?

As I moved through the fortress, I saw many people.

Perhaps rumors about my growth had already spread last night?

Murmur.

I could see the passing officers whispering to me, but my heart was as clear as the water in a lake.

Rather, a strange feeling of anticipation and excitement.

and… … .

“… … ?”

Without even thinking about it, I was suddenly surprised.

There was another being who received as many gazes as me.

As I walked around the gorgeous interior, it gave off a strong presence, and its noble appearance quite caught my attention.

Wearing a black dress that covers her entire body, she appears to be in her late 20s, has a beautiful appearance, and has many expensive-looking accessories adorning her.

Although it may not be said to be too much, the woman’s presence that was revealed was quite overwhelming.

‘Who is it?’

Sarah.

It was the moment I looked at her with such puzzlement.

The unknown woman’s steps stopped for an instant.

Swish!
