I Became An Academy Spearman

I Became An Academy Spearman — Chapter 81. Stay With Me (1)

*Class A training camp*

It was after eight o’clock in the evening. Although the cadets were returning to the dormitories after dinner at this time, there were still quite a few cadets remaining at training camp.

However, there was one space in particular that the cadets would not go near – for their own safety.

Swoosh!

Countless marks appeared on the scarecrow as the fierce wind hit it.

Swoosh!

Her blue hair fluttered roughly as she swung the sword again. Glesia had been training almost frantically for hours now. Her attribute caused strong winds that contained a destructive power that could not be ignored.

All the cadets around had immediately moved away. The strong winds might hinder their personal training. They understood that it was due to her attribute, but they had to concentrate on their own improvements.

Still, there was one person who approached her.

“Glesia, how about a little rest? You’ve been swinging your sword for hours.” It was Leonhard. Glesia lowered her sword in response, silent. Her unfocused blue eyes glowed as if they had come to life.

“I decide myself when to rest,” she replied nonchalantly.

Swoosh!

Then she brandished her sword again. Leonhard let out a sigh, then opened his mouth again.

“But I want you to take care of yourself. Your body is not normal now.” Leonhard looked dejected when he said that. That gave Glesia pause, and she looked down to examine her body. She had reached the limit of her stamina. She knew it. But she forced herself to take up position again to continue her training.

“Leonhard is worried. If you continue you may faint,” Yumia said, standing next to Leonhard. Glesia let out a small sigh.

“Why do you worry about other people’s training?” Again, a brief response. It seemed as if Yumia had talked to a wall. Yumia laughed in dismay.

“Always with the same attitude… That’s why you’re alone in class all the time.”

Glesia remained silent even though Yumia spoke wryly. Instead, she attacked the steel scarecrow with a fiercer wind. Leonhard looked at Yumia.

“Yumia. Didn’t I tell you not to speak without considering the feelings of others?”

“I know. But Glesia is a little unfriendly. She can’t understand my words, even if I say them nicely. That means that she should expect to be treated with a little roughness.”

“Nobody listens to bad words. People will understand you if you speak kindly.”

“Really? Glesia always has that attitude, so I don’t think so.”

“Yumia,” Leonhard scolded her coldly. Soon, she averted her gaze. Her cheeks were slightly flushed.

“It’s okay. Glesia… what I said was a little rude.” Despite Yumia’s apology, Glesia continued to swing her sword. She was so engrossed in her training that she seemed to have forgotten everything around her. Leonhard felt sorry for her. It was not pleasant to watch someone destroy their own body, even if he put aside his personal feelings for her. Posted only on NovelUtopia.com

“……”

Then, Leonhard slowly drew his sword. It had been several days since his attribute had evolved to Level 3. He could already naturally use the energy of the First Heavenly Sword.

“……!”

As Leonhard swung his sword, from the instant a blue light covered his sword. As the blue light created a trail in the air, the sword Glesia was holding flew into the air – and halted as if stuck.

A single movement. He had much improved compared to his fight with Han Seong.

“Leonhard?”

Yumia was surprised by his untimely behavior. Glesia looked at Leonhard with a frown.

“Don’t you know that interfering with a cadet’s training is against Academy rules?”

“I know.”

“And yet you still did it?”

Leonhard didn’t avoid Glesia’s gaze even though she spoke angrily.

“I will accept the punishment. Please, accompany me to where the instructor is.” He smiled, as if he wanted to take the punishment. Then Glesia hesitated. Even Yumia looked at Leonhard with dismay.

“I recognize what I have done,” he insisted. Glesia sighed; it seemed Leonhard didn’t care about the punishment.

“Forget it. I don’t want to continue training.”

She retrieved her sword, then left without saying anything else. Leonhard looked at her without saying a word. He couldn’t help but think that he had done the right thing. If she really was a bad and vindictive person, she would have asked the instructor to take disciplinary action against him. However, she hadn’t done that. Therefore, she wasn’t a bad person, even if she had a rough side.

“Leonhard! What the hell…? What were you going to do if you got punished?” A thin smile appeared on his mouth as he looked back at Yumia.

“Yes. Fortunately, it seems Glesia didn’t want to charge me.”

“Do you want to ruin your scores? A disciplinary action will affect your future evaluations.”

“I know. But I felt I had to do it.”

He appreciated Yumia’s concern for him. It was a shame that she only was being nice to him.
