I Became An Academy Spearman

His body moved on its own. Carly was slightly bowed over, so he grabbed her by the shoulders to lift her up. First, they had to get out of this place.

Her behavior in the classroom was frustrating, but it seemed excessive. She should not have bowed to a cadet to apologize.

“Instructor Carly.”

He called out to her with determination. After he was pushy at the last training session at the private camp, he thought that her opinion of him would have deteriorated.

But it was nothing more than a ridiculous thought.

Rather, it was the opposite. She even developed affection for him.

That’s why she was able to apologize sincerely.

“You must not feel so distressed. I have already forgiven you, you are a great Instructor. I even feel grateful that you have sincerely apologized.”

It’s never easy to apologize when a mistake is made.

Especially when it was an Instructor. It was unbelievable that she could give up her authority to apologize to a mere cadet.

“…Han Seong.”

A smile appeared on his face when she called his name. She had a subdued expression, really taking the situation seriously. Advanced chapters on NovelUtopia.com

He couldn’t believe that he could cause this reaction in her.

He felt mixed emotions when she scolded him in the classroom.

But that indicated that she expected a lot from him. She was indifferent to cadets who didn’t try hard or who got mediocre results.

She treated them as if they didn’t exist.

“Instructor Carly, I’d like to continue the conversation elsewhere.”

He calmly removed his hands from her shoulder.

He also did not want Carly’s authority to be further undermined.

Her mind was blank as she entered the private training camp with Han Seong.

Countless thoughts ran through her head.

“I’m going to bring some magical engineering items.”

She avoided eye contact as she spoke.

“I understand.”

Her heart was pounding as she walked to a corner of the training camp.

Her heart was weird.

Her mind had been unfocused.

What’s wrong with me…?

She felt like a fool all day.

She hoped her apology would be enough to make the cadet forget it.

That’s why a great relief came over her the moment Cadet Han Seong lifted her bowed body. She was sure that the cadet was disappointed in her, but he looked at her with a smile on his face.

She was distracted as she rummaged through the magical engineering items.

“……”

Finally, she stopped. She took a deep breath with her hand on her chest.

Her heart would not calm down.

In this state she would not be able to help Cadet Han Seong with his training.

Maybe I’m shocked because I apologized to a cadet?

She could not understand. Her head was in the clouds.

“Hmm, Instructor Carly?”

She startled when she heard his voice.

“…Han Seong.”

She turned her head, so they made eye contact.

Her heartbeat increased even more.
