145. an unexpected encounter

***

The darkness that dyed the sky black carefully moved away from its place as time passed. And the light fell on the vacant place, shining a warm light on the world.

bright and warm light.

Chun-seong, who received the light that anyone would embrace through the window, sighed in a daze.

“…Whoa.”

Now we greet the next morning at the dormitory.

I almost stayed up all night. Even though I knew I had to fall asleep to fully listen to the lecture, all sorts of thoughts flooded my mind and I couldn’t sleep at all.

“I know Anastasia values Glesia.”

But is she going to say such an unconventional thing to me, who is nothing more than a cadet?

The voice of Anastasia, who had spoken to me last night, continued to linger in my head.

ㅡIf I can help cadet Han Chun-seong, I will help. If there is something else you want, financially or otherwise, I am willing to listen to it as long as it does not cross the line.

The voice of Anastasia, who spoke calmly, was to the extent that I can still remember without a single mistake.

That was a word that included countless ‘possibilities’ that I hadn’t even thought of.

And those words were like a big breakthrough for me now.

“As long as you don’t cross the line… .”

At the time I heard that, I didn’t respond to her. I didn’t even ask for anything explicit.

Instead, the answer to those words will be this Thursday. I changed my words to ask you to give me a moment.

And Anastasia readily accepted my words.

Just like she herself wished.

So, ever since we parted after dinner, I have been thinking about it all the time.

How should I take what she said to me… .

“…First of all, I should ask for help while talking to Anastasia so that she doesn’t disappear.”

After thinking about it all night, I came to two conclusions.

First of all, it is necessary to give enough warning so that Anastasia does not disappear.

I don’t know exactly when she disappears in the story, but I remember that it was probably this month.

I have to deliver the words so that she doesn’t go missing like in the middle of the day, and at the same time, I have to save my life from her.

Among the apostles with absolute power, two apostles were posing a danger to me.

-[Escape from death!]

Two of the nine apostles with absolute power started their activities. You must first survive in great danger.

“There is no way I can stand against the two apostles by myself.”

I almost had to face death just by dealing with Letea’s alter ego. Even more so, if the two apostles were aiming for my life right now, I had to ask for help this time.

At first I thought of Carly, but now the situation has changed.

I felt more at ease when I asked for help from Anastasia, who could be said to be the strongest.

The situation where she even gave me a justification. Now that seemed the most reasonable.

With that thought in mind, I got up.

I’m really tired from not being able to sleep, but now I have to get ready to leave the dorm.

***

Class C1 classroom.

“Even if the attributes are not directly related to the physical body, physical training is essential for all cadets. It can be said that a stronger body has an indirect effect on the expression of characteristics… … .”

At this time, the morning lecture is in full swing.

Millia’s gaze went to her side. There was Luna who was concentrating on the lecture.

Luna’s attitude has been a bit strange lately.

she has changed

To the point where Milia felt that way, Luna’s attitude was a little odd.

That’ll be too… .

glimpse.

Luna’s gaze turned to one side again.

Milia’s eyes naturally followed that gaze and shook violently.

“…”

Where Luna’s eyes were headed, there was a cadet right now. An existence with characteristic black hair, who continues to take notes as if absorbed in lectures.

It was Han Chunseong.

The fact that Luna’s gaze was directed at Han Chun-seong struck Milia as strangely as it did.

Why is Luna looking at the agar castle? Amid such doubts, Milia recalled the past week.

During the week without agar, in fact, it was a day of great change for Milia.

It was a big change to be able to share a greater sympathy with the spirit ‘Seshi’, which is his attribute, by rising to the 2nd level of his attribute. And I was able to make up my mind a little stronger, but Luna’s attitude continued to bother me.

During that period, Luna would often look at the vacancy of Hancheon Castle as she does now.

“Whoa.”

Then, when Luna let out a deep sigh and straightened her head, Milia straightened herself up.

But that’s a bit late.

“Milia, were you watching me?”

When Luna spoke as if conscious of her gaze, Milia smiled awkwardly.

“Oh, just how… .”

“yes? I’m no big deal either. I just have something to worry about.”

When Luna took the word lightly, Millia nodded in relief, but her heart was complicated.

‘Why am I looking at Agar Castle?’

As far as she herself felt, Luna was obviously not very interested in Han Chun-seong. On the contrary, it was rare that I saw it well enough to be able to say that I had a bad feeling.

But lately, that has changed.

After Han Chun-seong returned to the classroom, the frequency of giving him a glance increased. And it was not the same hostile gaze as before, and she continued to not know why.

Then, inadvertently, Milia also looked at the agar castle.

He hadn’t spoken to me since he returned to the classroom.

Because the right time didn’t come, Milia was not seizing the opportunity.

During breaks, Han Chun-seong was absorbed in studying, as if reviewing lectures, and even during other times, he was talking to David, so he couldn’t find the timing to approach him.

But now.

Miria nodded her head with the agar in her eyes.

‘As for today… .’

that I should approach him.

Millia was even feeling a great sense of crisis.

The fact that Luna is suddenly interested in Han Chun-seong, so the obvious sense of crisis that she has to approach him a little more… … .

time to take a break.

At that time, I was reviewing a little bit of the contents of the lecture that David organized.

At that moment, a person’s shadow fell over my textbook.

“…?”

Realizing belatedly that someone was approaching, I raised my head,

“Agar Castle.”

“…uh. Millia.”

There was a completely unexpected person there.

When I realized that the person approaching me was Millia, I was greatly surprised.

“Could you give me some time today…can you?”

I nodded my head in a daze as I watched Milia cautiously speaking to me through point-and-drop.

“Is it possible.”

While answering, his gaze suddenly went to one side of the space.

Milia who approached me was embarrassed, but I could see Luna looking at me as if surprised from a little distance away.

I was even more surprised that Milia had approached me alone, but I wondered what the hell was her business.

“Then, I’ll wait for you at ‘C Park’ after today’s lecture.”

“…okay.”

After Milia left, I inadvertently looked at her back.

…It’s been awhile since I’ve looked at the fluttering hem of the skirt. I don’t know why she came to me.

‘What have I done?’

I don’t really have any memories of that. At first, I was focused on following the almost overdue lecture after returning to the classroom.

Other than that, I couldn’t afford to think about Anastasia or Glesia.

I thought there was a reason for Milia’s sudden approach like now, but I was just confused.

“Yeah. What did I just see?”

“…What are you looking at?”

When David looked at me mischievously, I burst out laughing for a moment.

“David. I’ll tell you in advance, don’t say anything weird.”

“What am I talking about? You haven’t said anything yet?”

Looking at the guy who answered jokingly, I said in advance.

“I’ll buy you lunch. pass it on.”

“Then thank you, but I really didn’t mean to say anything.”

Even though I thought that was the case with the guy who took off his pretense, the feeling continued to be mysterious.

‘Come to think of it, Luna seems to be looking at me often these days.’

Milia approached me, maybe it had something to do with Luna, I was crazy about that.

As if the strange misunderstanding last time still had an effect on me, Luna used to send me a really strange look.

“Everybody have a seat.”

I calmed down as I prepared for the lecture again at the calm voice of Kali.

‘I’ll know when I meet you.’

I didn’t worry that much.

…

C Park.

Each of the several parks within the academy had light names. Arriving at the entrance of Park C, I tidied up my clothes for a while.

He lightly shook his clothes and smoothed out the wrinkles, but he ate lightly.

“…Whoa.”

As I entered the park, I saw several people in the park formed in a large circle.

And when I saw Millia sitting on one of the benches, I also slowly walked away.

that buck… .

In the meantime, the meeting with Millia actually had nothing to do with me.

To be precise, I had to say that I had never met with a ‘promise’ like today.

So it was a very strange feeling to meet today after promising to meet.

“…”

Short black hair and a slightly cute impression made my heart flutter a little when I came in despite being so far away.

‘The real appearance is my ideal type.’

After thinking about Luna’s characteristics, my mind trying to approach Milia was now erased.

My situation right now is not good in many ways to have romantic feelings for someone, so I actually couldn’t afford to do that.

Then I went crazy with one thought.

The memory of the last time I said I’d do anything for her when I owed her.

that came to mind late.

‘Is it because you want something from me?’

I thought that was reasonable, and I got right in front of her.

“…Milia.”

When I cautiously called her, Millia blankly lifted her head.

“Ah, Han Chun-seong… .”

Then, seeing her smiling so softly, it seemed to warm my heart as well.

“I’ll sit by your side.”

“yes I’m fine.”

So let’s sit next to her. I naturally became nervous.

What did Millia call me for?

“Han Chun-seong, there’s a reason I called you.”

“You can speak comfortably.”

When I answered with a little smile at Millia’s voice, which seemed as nervous as mine, Millia nodded awkwardly.

“Okay. Actually, there’s something I want to ask of you.”

“ask?”
