Became an Academy Spearman

874. [Western Front] – Training with Anastasia (150)

***

Sreung!

The pure white sword that came out of the sheath was so dazzling.

And the sight of Anastasia moving her sword fluidly and striking a pose was close to a ‘mystery’ in itself.

There is no gap.

Even though she reached the high level of attribute level 8, she was still flawless to me.

Since not even the slightest gap is visible, just such a light posture feels intimidating.

“Don’t be too nervous, and attack comfortably. “As you have reached level 8, your handling of power will have changed considerably.”

“… … “With all your might?”

As I spoke, I blinked for a moment.

I know that this space is a special space. Still, I was a little hesitant.

I didn’t realize right away how much my strength had grown. Because it has never manifested itself properly.

At that time, Anastasia smiled slightly.

“Even if you try to hit it with all your might, it won’t come out right away. “It will take time to adjust to the power.”

“Oh, I see.”

I nodded absentmindedly, tightened the hand holding the spear, and took a breath.

And slowly, it surrounds the mana, taking on the nature of a spiral, while also embracing the body.

‘Let’s take it step by step.’

I immediately understood that there would be no power.

Then, the answer was to develop power sequentially.

Good!

As I hit the ground, my body crosses space in an instant.

I just leap forward without much strength or pressure.

But my body felt so light.

As if this is natural.

visor!

The blade of the spear that was thrown out like that contained only a weak amount of mana. And it popped out as if it was natural.

Whilick!

Retrieving the spear, he spins his body and thrusts the spear out again.

Anastasia, holding the sword, looks at me calmly.

“… … .”

“… … .”

As our eyes met, we knew each other.

Now it’s a prelude.

It’s nothing more than a warm-up.

Just like that, I began to stab the spear in almost every direction, including stabbing, swinging, and slashing without stopping.

Chachaechaeng! Whip!

Every time that happens, a firework rings out, and the metal sound resonates beautifully through the space.

Swish!

He immediately bends down and aims at her lower body with the spear blade.

The almost sweeping path of the spear blade felt like it was looking at my hand.

‘this… … .’

The state of new unity.

Suddenly, I thought so.

My thoughts and my heart appear as a window.

I don’t have to exert force or be very conscious for the window to follow my will.

Cheaeng!

With a loud sound, the hand holding the spear is easily retrieved.

In terms of feeling, I felt a rebound force as if I had hit a thick wall.

Even though what I encountered was just a pure white sword.

Pick.

So I laughed.

Wow!

The spear blade rotates in a gigantic manner, showing off various techniques that I can apply at once.

Aiming for a vital point and stabbing,

Sometimes, he swings it horizontally in a huge way to raise the spirit of the spear blade,

Retrieving a spear that has popped out and hitting it with a spear on the other side is also a variable… … .

There is no burden about all of that.

I knew it just by looking at it.

There isn’t even the slightest tension in Anastasia’s eyes when she looks at me.

Simple physical warfare.

Even though she faced the challenge of handling weapons, she was confident.

‘With swordsmanship, I am confident that I can meet my spear.’

Chaechaechaechaechaechae!!

Flames exploding like crazy, spear blades, and sword blades endlessly collide again and again. Even though I changed the strength and weakness of the moment and twisted the trajectory of the spear blade irregularly, Anastasia was extremely concise.

The radius of the hand that moves the sword is not very wide.

It feels as if the sword blade lightly strikes the spear right before it touches my body.

So, on the outside, a very strange scene ensued.

While I was trying hard, Anastasia was able to throw away my spear so easily.

Chachaechaeng! Chae-Aeng!!

As the sound suddenly resonated loudly and shook the air, I nodded without realizing it.

‘The distribution of power contained in the sword body is so exquisite.’

As if the sword was suddenly imbued with unprecedented power at the moment of encounter, my spear was unable to use its power properly. But what was more surprising was that it didn’t feel like it took a lot of effort.

It was as if he was speaking to me differently.

You don’t have to spend a huge amount of mana and use skills to gauge your opponent’s level and your own.

Just by meeting arms like this, I could feel the level.

What a difference in level there is that I, holding a spear, cannot overwhelm her with skill with a sword.

“Whoa.”

Even as I exhaled harshly, I put even more strength into the hand holding the spear.

Now that we are facing each other purely with our bodies, using only a small amount of mana, Anastasia has barely used her mana either.

There was only a very faint blue light on her sword body.

Cheaeng!

When the sword and spear finally collided again, I unconsciously felt pain in my hand.

Damn it!

Even though I took a big step back, I couldn’t believe it.

“… … “This is.”

The force that flowed into the window at that moment was impossible for me to let go without breaking my steps.

“It’s kind of like an application. “Because I put the principles of my characteristics into the sword.”

At her light words, I suddenly caught sight of the trembling spear blade.

‘I didn’t even feel it right.’

It is unclear when the sword was put into practice or when changes were made.

But it wasn’t until I encountered it that I realized it.

“Please again.”

He continued speaking immediately and corrected his posture.

“Anytime for me.”

Seeing her answer willingly, I strengthened my mind even more.

‘It’s an opportunity.’

I thought that a genius opportunity had come to me.

There was something qualitatively different about this moment from my previous training.

Sreuk.

Even as I gently straighten my posture, a dazed glimmer appears in the corner of my eyes.

Eustea’s posture.

What did Eustea look like holding a spear?

I overlaid it on my body as if I was projecting it.

‘It’s possible.’

It was quite possible.

There are many stances that I could not even dream of at attribute level 7, but now that I have reached attribute level 8, I understand the logic behind them, and they support me so that I can physically execute them.

Then I had to try it.

The blade of the spear naturally turned towards the ground, and the legs were pulled out wide and the knees were bent.

The posture of moving forward with one step.

And similarly, only the minimum amount of mana was contained. I only use mana, which allows me to move more smoothly, and I use my body.

“… … .”

Even my breathing stopped, and my eyes immediately fell on Anastasia standing in front of me.

It was the same as the first time.

He leisurely holds his sword and looks at me lightly.

The amount of mana contained in the pure white sword also did not change.

Considering how much mana each person has, it’s actually a sight to see them fighting without using much mana.

Sreuk.

The moment I lightly stepped on the ground, my body felt like it was sliding.

‘… ah.’

I felt it for a moment too.

How ridiculous power Eustea created and used.

Slurp… … !!

While moving as if erasing space in an instant, the hand holding the spear was stabbing straight ahead without hesitation.

The tip of my spear is her heart.

However, Anastasia suddenly strangely held out the sword.

It’s not about blocking, blocking, or dodging.

It was as if he was going to stab me with his sword just like that.

“… … !”

There wasn’t even time to be surprised.

The distance suddenly narrowed, and my spear faced the tip of her sword as if it were being sucked in.

Chiiing—!

In an instant, my eyes widen and the hand holding the window naturally pushes away.

That itself was an unrealistic sight.

I was the one who took the leap,

It was I who went on the offensive by throwing out my spear.

And Anastasia just held out her sword in the same way as me.

Of course, I should have pushed her harder with greater force, but that wasn’t the result.

Grumble!

Just like that, I am pushed out.

The more strength I exerted on the hand holding the spear blade facing the tip of the sword, the more I felt as if I was being forced out of the way.

Tuk!

And that was the end of it.

There was no way I was completely pushed back and the distance widened, or I missed the spear that failed to push away the tip of her sword.

An unrealistic scene unfolded in which only I was pushed back, as if my spear, which had been sucked into her sword, was met with polar opposites and was pushed out of its power.

“… … .”

My hair turns pure white, and I can’t even think about it.

‘How did this result come about?’

The power I manifested was one of the many principles expressed by Eustea.

It approaches the opponent glidingly and launches an attack without even the slightest delay. It was like a strange karate where the preparatory stance was omitted.

I would be recreating that in my own body for the first time now.

It was blocked in such a futile way.

“It’s fascinating.”

At the sound of a lightly rang voice, my eyes turned blankly to her, not to the point of the sword and spear that were fiercely touching each other.

“… … Major Anastasia. “How did this happen?”

“I don’t entirely know what exactly you were trying to do. But I knew what he was going to do as soon as I saw it. So I just thrust my sword away in the same way.”

“If I stabbed you in the same way… … .”

“Like you, I skipped some sort of preparation process.”

Seeing her speaking so casually, I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Does it happen right away just because you put your mind to it?”

It was truly absurd.

“It’s possible because there are similar principles among the principles I’ve realized. It’s not like I just discovered it or that kind of power.”

Anastasia, speaking calmly, gently removed the sword body that was coming into contact with me, and I almost stumbled for a moment without realizing it.

‘crazy!’

While the tip of the sword and the tip of the spear were facing each other.

The power contained within it did not disappear.

It was just suppressed, like gunpowder about to explode.

“That’s a pretty good idea. “Focusing on physical technique.”

“… … thank you.”

Even as I immediately retrieved the spear again, my mind was blank.

This didn’t even feel like it was just a ‘wall’.

It was Taesan.

… … It felt like there was a huge mountain in front of me right now.

Gulp.

“Try again.”

The sight of Anastasia gently distancing herself from each other and smiling brightly made me feel a chill in my stomach.
