Became an Academy Spearman

859. [Western Front] – Three-way face-off (135)

***

Swish!

Shiffrin turned her head and instantly saw Cheonseong in her eyes.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Their gazes naturally crossed, and in a split second, Shiffrin expressed his characteristics almost instinctively.

ㅡ!

The moment her light red eyes darkened even slightly.

Details about her nature were drilled into her mind.

[21 years old]

[Detailed ability values]

[Possessed characteristic: spear skill (eustea style spear skill succession in progress)]

[Attribute Level: 8]

[Unique property: High elf’s mana property… … .]

… … !!!

And Shiffrin could not help but widen her eyes as the information poured in.

“… … !”

It was a mistake and an emotion that was barely visible to Shiffrin, who always maintains composure externally.

However, to her, the information that was pouring out just now was truly shocking.

Blink blink.

She blinked unconsciously and gently squeezed her hand.

‘What I just saw… … ‘You mean it’s all true?’

There was no way it was a mistake in my characteristics or an error in the information, but it was enough to make me reconsider its authenticity.

That’s how absurd the facts I found out were.

The level of the characteristics you have.

The age at which he achieved that power.

This is the first time I have seen information about the succession of Eustea style spear techniques.

In addition to that, even the strange thing called high elf mana is a unique property… … .

It just didn’t make any sense.

Even as Shiffrin, who had obtained information on thousands of people, her very nature was unrealistic.

It wasn’t that it was unrealistic because ‘one’ thing was special, but everything in nature was full of unrealistic things, so much so that it caused Shiffrin’s emotional turmoil.

Again.

Perhaps that was why Shiffrin suddenly turned around.

Again.

And as I slowly approached Cheonseong, I belatedly looked his appearance up and down.

‘This man was the Han Cheon-seong of those rumors.’

Really, the more I looked at it, the more shocking it was.

The protagonist of a rumor that shook the current empire, and the lover of Anastasia, a key player on the Western Front.

The feeling of hearing about it through rumors and actually meeting it was very different. It made me realize again how far the information spread around the world is from the truth.

“… … under.”

Shiffrin let out a laugh as he approached and instantly changed his goal. Rather than meeting Anastasia, which was my original goal, I should take the time to learn more about Han Tian-seong, which is full of unreality.

Again.

So, even though she shouldn’t pay even the slightest attention to other characters during a mission, the path she takes naturally has no choice but to change.

“… … .”

Even though she had encountered thousands of people over the years, the number of people who had given her this level of surprise and shock could be counted on one hand.

Again.

As soon as he reached the front of Han Tiansheng, Shiffrin slowly raised his head and looked up at Tiansheng.

And even though I knew everything, I opened my mouth as if asking a question.

“… You are Ensign Han Tiansheng. “Right?”

Their eyes crossed in response to Shiffrin’s question, and Cheonseong hesitated at her sudden approach, but quickly nodded.

“Yes, I… This is Second Lieutenant Han Cheon-seong of the Red Wing. “Can you tell me who you are?”

In response to that very cautious question, Shiffrin curled up the corner of her mouth.

“I am in a position to oversee the Imperial Imperial Intelligence Department externally. Since I won’t be staying in the military for long, I won’t necessarily describe myself by rank. Allow me to briefly introduce myself, my name is Cyprin Devzerin. “I am truly happy to meet you.”

Sreuk.

When Shiffrin calmly introduced herself and naturally extended her hand, Cheonseong stared at her outstretched hand.

“… … .”

Cheonseong’s eyes strangely changed in an instant.

But still, he naturally held Shiffrin’s hand.

Slurp, slurp.

They held hands twice as if they were being polite and then let go.

“I understand because we are facing each other like this. He is indeed a man capable of shaking up the empire. He was rumored to be Anastasia’s lover, so I understand why she chose you.”

Seeing Shiffrin grinning and saying strange things, Cheonseong had to show a very strange smile.

“… … thank you.”

It’s not denial, but it’s a smile that just doesn’t make you happy.

Shiffrin, who was noticing such a nature, quickly blinked lightly.

“Right now I’m about to meet Major Anastasia. How about you, would you like to come with me?”

“How could I… Would you like to join me on your special business?”

“That’s because it’s a topic worth talking about together. Since I happened to run into Lieutenant Han Cheon-seong like this, I wish I could go with him on the way. “Do you have anything else to do right now?”

Shiffrin’s gaze, which she asked indifferently, did not expect to fall from Han Tiansheng.

Therefore, the encounter between the two people was even more heterogeneous.

Several officers were waiting to welcome Shiffrin, who was once known as a high-ranking officer belonging to the imperial family, and now, with his natural growth, several officers who had followed him were flocking in.

In fact, the two people in question were facing each other.

It is said that Shiffrin approached first, but at a distance so close that each other’s breaths were touching.

The two people were now so close that their gazes crossed, to the point where a third party would mistakenly think it was as if lovers had reunited after a long time.

However, by nature, I was not pleased with Shiffrin’s approach.

‘Why at this time… … ?’

Conversely, Cheonseong could not understand.

Why is she at the front line at this time, why did she suddenly approach me, expressing interest in me, and what else do I have to talk about with Anastasia… … .

From what I knew, there was only one reason for Cyprin’s existence in the story.

Causing rebellion, betrayal, and strife… … The role of cutting out evil beings from the so-called empire at an early stage.

And as a shadow of the empire, it is said to be a being that deals with various high-ranking information and operates in secret.

So my nature had no choice but to be cautious.

Just by facing her,

Even the fact that she expresses interest in me feels like a burden.

However, there was something about it that made me reluctant to avoid it or avoid it, so I couldn’t shake it off.

“… … “Yes, then let’s go together.”

“That’s really good. And don’t be so nervous. I didn’t come to the Western Front with such a heavy topic. Rather, I came here to praise the officers of the Western Front in relation to the Nine Apostles.”

Tuk. Tuk.

Shiffrin lightly tapped Cheonseong’s arm and smiled a beautiful smile that brightened up the surroundings. And as she took her steps lightly, her nature followed her with her trembling steps.

Again and again.

As the two men moved together like that, the officers and soldiers who gathered around could only look at the two men, momentarily dumbfounded.

Afterwards, as the two naturally disappeared toward the top floor, one of the remaining officers spoke.

“I really envy Han Cheon-seong’s life.”

The male officer suddenly opened his mouth, and the officers nearby burst into laughter.

Everyone there knew.

It is clear that the reason why Shiffrin approached Han Tiansheng was not because of his outstanding appearance.

However, the strangely friendly attitude she showed toward Cheonseong aroused envy in the officers.

that… … Shiffrin’s presence had a unique aspect.

***

Anastasia’s office.

Ok. Ok… .

The sound of tea cups being placed on the table in the living room on one side of the interior rings continuously.

And Meryl, who was Anastasia’s aide, had to be extremely nervous for fear that she would shake her hands due to the untimely visit of a guest.

‘It’s really crazy. What the hell is going on… … ?’

The black-haired woman who was immediately reflected in Meryl’s eyes. Her elegant yet very sophisticated appearance and black dress were very foreign.

However, more than her appearance, Meryl felt the weight of her name.

ㅡSyprin Devzerin.

This is because I had heard many rumors early on about her status within the imperial family.

After spending several years as an officer, it was impossible to not know in the first place.

No matter how dark the rumors are about the person who stays on the Western Front and is in the center of the empire, the person who is mentioned in the imperial court is different in terms of reputation.

And among them, a woman who holds enormous power.

That’s it… … .

It was Cyprin Devzerin in front of him.

“Well, then, have a nice time.”

Meryl spoke carefully and quickly left the room.

Then, naturally, three people appeared.

Anastasia, the owner of this office, calmly stroked the teacup, and Cyprin Devzerin stared at her with a strange smile on her face.

And the nature that existed between the two women was staring at her teacup with a very strange feeling.

“I think it will be sudden. “It’s an untimely visit.”

Anastasia slightly nodded at Shiffrin’s words.

“… … The letter was delivered last night. So, for what purpose did you come here in person?”

“It’s not something that big. Rather, I can say that my visit to the Western Front was a good thing. The imperial family attaches great importance to the execution of the nine apostles. “I also came to check the situation more precisely in order to represent the opinions of the higher-ups.”

“It’s a confirmation of the situation.”

As Anastasia narrowed her eyes and answered, Shiffrin smiled softly.

“yes. So, I have something to say about Lieutenant Han Cheon-seong, who is sitting with me. “There are questions we need to check together before confirming.”

Through the calm voices exchanged between the two, Cheonseong felt a strange sense of disconnect.

And the gaze was directed to Shiffrin’s profile.

‘What are they aiming for?’

I didn’t believe it.

From the beginning, I didn’t trust people who praised my criminal record or said it was a good thing.

Externally, she is said to be a powerful person who oversees the Imperial Intelligence Department, but in reality, she is a member of the special guild Merin who handles various tasks behind the scenes.

Because I know that the guild leader is her.

So I was even more puzzled.

Anastasia is a very important person in the empire, and I have not done anything that would harm the empire or break any laws.

Both he and Anastasia can be seen as people of integrity.

Why does she, who is competing for supremacy even among the shadows of the empire, show interest in us?

“Is it really necessary for Lieutenant Han Tiansheng to join us? “I would like to end everything I can answer on my own terms.”

And then Anastasia suddenly tried to exclude herself.

To stop you from saying useless things about yourself.

“I think it only makes sense if we work together. As Major Anastasia probably knows, wouldn’t Han Tiansheng be among the talents the imperial family is currently paying attention to? “He must have participated and played an active role in the Nine Apostles, so of course we should give him a bigger award.”

However, Cheonseong’s eyes were clouded by Shiffrin’s gentle manner of receiving words.

‘Are you saying I absolutely have to be there?’

I didn’t know what Shiffrin’s intentions were, but I knew he was trying to involve me somehow.

Regarding Anastasia… … .
