153. Test: Leonhard

***

next Friday.

A1 class classroom.

On average, lectures end between 3 and 4 p.m. regardless of class. It could be finished earlier at the instructor’s discretion, but it was said that it usually ended that way.

It is currently past 3:00 PM.

In the case of A1 class, it was average for the lecture to end right after 3 o’clock, but there were very few students who got up right away.

“Depending on the cadets, cadets who want to train may continue.”

That will be too. It was because ‘Gebel’, the instructor of Class A1, always left strange words at the end.

Cadet who wants to do more can do it. That was a very strange word for a cadet to hear.

“……”

“……”

The interior of the lecture hall where quiet silence lingers. There were some cadets who glanced at other cadets. I wanted to get up from my seat, but the atmosphere that formed was not something to be ignored.

Now, two months have passed since entering the academy. Just being together among the hard-working cadets naturally makes me try to match the atmosphere.

And that was the ‘atmosphere’ Gebel was aiming for.

If you create an atmosphere from the beginning so that there are cadets who want to continue additional training, there will naturally be cadets who keep their seats along with such cadets.

Even now, almost all of the cadets were keeping their seats, and Gebel looked at them with a smile in his heart.

Seruk.

There was a cadet who suddenly woke up.

again. again.

As soon as I packed my things, I left the classroom, but Gebel gave me a strange look even though he had nothing to say.

A cadet with characteristic blue hair. Glesia was about to leave the classroom. Even though she accepted it calmly, Gebel felt very sorry.

‘Even Major Anastasia visited the academy.’

He nodded his head in understanding, but his eyes twinkled for a moment.

Seruk.

Squeak.

As if Glesia had become a starting point, even Leonhard and Yumia stood up, and Gebel hesitated.

Jeopardy, again.

“Instructor. Thank you very much for today’s lecture.”

“…Yes, Leonhard. You worked hard.”

When Leonhardt, who was walking past Gebel, spoke with a kind smile, Gebel nodded, but couldn’t erase his trembling heart.

As the outstanding cadets who had always been eyeing each other rushed out of the classroom, the atmosphere inside suddenly faded.

It was very unfortunate for him that the atmosphere he had worked so hard for was so easily blurred.

…

Meanwhile, following Glesia who left the classroom, Leonhardt immediately approached her, and Yumia also followed Leonhardt with a strange feeling.

“Glesia. Wait a minute.”

“why?”

When Glesia slowly turned her head, Leonhardt faced her with a friendly smile.

“Are you going to see Major Anastasia right now?”

When I asked as if he knew her purpose, Glesia narrowed her eyes.

“that’s right. how did you know?”

“I just guessed. If it’s okay, could we please let us meet Major Anastasia…? I heard Han Chun-seong had already met Major Anastasia. I wonder if we can say that we are friends with you now… Major Anastasia is someone I usually respect, and I want to take this opportunity to say hello even briefly. That’s right, Yumia also said that she respects the Major, right?”

“Ugh. He is someone I really respect…”

When Yumia answered her words with a shudder, Leonhardt looked at Glesia with eyes filled with anticipation.

Glessia, who was looking at the two of them, hesitated.

“…are we friends?”

And he spat out a single word in a strange voice.

Among Leonhardt’s other words, the word ‘friend’ sounded very strange to Glesia.

Although they often talked to each other in lectures or worked together when they formed a group, it felt ambiguous for her to feel that they were friends.

Above all, she felt that there was nothing that touched her heart as much as Han Chun-seong.

Compared to him, who he thought was his first friend, the two people in front of me seemed really ambiguous.

To put it simply, it just suits me, so there was a strong feeling that I was hanging out.

“Glesia. Weren’t we friends…? I definitely thought we were friends.”

When Leonhardt questioned her hesitation, Yumia raised the corner of her mouth.

“no. we are friends We hang out like this often. You don’t have to be ‘very close’ to be able to say you’re friends, right?”

When she cleverly twisted her words and emphasized that they were friends, Glesia finally understood.

You don’t have to be really close to be friends. It was something she could understand.

“I know because I heard that. We were friends.”

Contrary to Leonhard’s slight relief at Glesia’s calm reply, Yumia calmly looked at her with her eyes closed.

“So, Glesia. As Leonhard said, we also want to introduce you to Major Anastasia, or we don’t want to hold you back like this either. You can say that you are busy and we are busy too.”

When asked in a calm tone, Glesia nodded without worrying.

They were obviously not friends to brag about as much as Han Chun-seong, but they felt like pretty good people to introduce.

In addition, they fit together in the same class as usual, and the two of them had characteristics and talents that could not even be compared to that of most cadets.

“okay. Come with me.”

“really!? Thanks, Glesia!”

Contrary to Leonhard’s momentary sincere thanks to her, Yumia nodded his head with an awkward face, as if he was disapproving.

“Glesia. Thank you for accepting me like that.”

They ended up moving with Glesia like that.

***

Afterwards, Glesia, who met Anastasia at a designated cafe, introduced the two of them together for a while. Anastasia looked curiously at the two cadets in front of her.

‘exactly.’

The cadets who entered this year have a high standard.

If the Class C cadets were so unbelievable that they showed natural talent compared to their low characteristics, the two class A cadets, such as Glesia, felt a unique atmosphere befitting their high characteristics. .

– Refined Prayer.

-A unique atmosphere from a historic family.

Above all, since the cadet named Leonhard had a Legendary trait, I couldn’t help but be interested.

“…It is a great honor for me to meet Major Anastasia like this. I have heard countless stories of great performances on the frontlines.”

“I have also heard a lot about your performance on the frontlines. I think he’s a really great person.”

“You don’t have to make it so flashy. And since I said I was Glesia’s friend, feel free to call me Anastasia.”

While accepting her words lightly, she naturally looked at Glesia.

‘You’ve been doing better than I thought.’

To think that I was hanging out with so many cadets all over the place made my worries about returning to the capital disappear.

“So two people. You said you were in the same class as Glesia, right?”

“Yes. That’s right. I often hang out with Glesia, and I want to tell you that we are growing together.”

“…Like Leonhard said. I think you could say we are growing together.”

Compared to Cadet Leonhard, who gave confident answers, Cadet Yumia had a little strangeness.

Cadet Leonhard’s eyes were shining all the time, so I could feel his sincerity, but Cadet Yumia had too little of that feeling.

Then, a feeling came naturally to the cadet’s look as if he was looking at Leonhard right next to him.

‘You seem to like it.’

He felt strongly that the reason he was here now was because of a cadet named Leonhardt.

It was a car that I was curious about.

Took.

I felt Glesia’s gaze right next to me.

“sister. If you feel uncomfortable with this seat… .”

“No, why would I be uncomfortable? It is a meaningful time for me to meet a cadet who often hangs out with Glesia.”

Carefully brushing Glesia’s hair, she immediately denied her sister’s concerns.

It wasn’t bad at all even if I was spending time like this now that I was taking a long-awaited break. Now, this time was by no means a meaningless time.

As much as Glesia was the most important thing to me, the people I got along with were of course also important.

When I go back to the front line in the future, I could say that they were the ones who would fill my empty seat, so I deserved more attention.

“After saying hello like this, I brought up the words, but if the two of you don’t feel burdened, I want to give you a simple test and guidance. How about it?”

“Anastasia-sama is testing you… !”

“Thank you. It’s Anastasia-sama’s test and guidance. What cadet would refuse.”

I turned my head to the side looking at the two people who were talking to each other a little differently.

“Glesia. You’re going to try tutoring with them once, how about it, okay?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

After seeing Glesia’s bright answer, we moved to another place.

Not long after moving together, I entered the training room where the test was conducted with Cadet Han Chun-seong yesterday.

Originally, it was borrowed to spend a good time with Glesia, but I thought that the current situation was not too bad.

“Everyone take it easy. I just want to give you some advice along with a light test.”

“Yes. All right! I will be grateful for the test.”

“…Yeah. Me too.”

He had his eyes on Yumia, who answered awkwardly compared to the lively Leonhardt, and soon turned his gaze to Glesia, who was beside him.

“Then, would you like to start with Glesia first?”

“okay! sister.”

…

The test time that followed was quite different from yesterday.

Contrary to the admiration for the natural talent that I felt while testing Cadet Han Chun-seong, I was able to capture the skills that matched the characteristics as if I were seeing obvious results.

So the advice I was given wasn’t that special either.

But that is not to say that their characteristics and talents are in no way diminished.

‘Actually, this is normal. And even if you think of it as Class A, it’s a very high level.’

Considering the standard of a cadet who has now entered the first two months of school, it can be said that it is great enough that the characteristics are properly expressed and fully utilized.

In the case of Glesia, who was tested first. Showing superior use of wind than expected, he tried to destroy the ice wall in various ways, and the cadet named Yumia, who was later held, was a cadet with characteristics that corresponded to the extremes of the flame element series.

However, the more incompatible the characteristics, the more the difference in level was revealed, and even though cadet Yumia fought hard at the end, she gave up at the end.

…even that was not to blame the cadet.

Rather, throughout the test, I was able to rate her a little higher as she was conscious of being a cadet Leonhardt and tried to promote her a little bit.

And now, during the final test… .

“…!”

The brilliant blue aura that cut through the ice wall at once made me think a little differently.

Quaang!

Quaang!

The ice wall was being destroyed little by little with a roar. The strength of the ice wall now manifested was the same as the one tested on the cadet Han Chun-seong yesterday.

Cadet Glesia and Yumia couldn’t even dare to break the ice wall that cadet Han Chun-seong showed yesterday.

A cadet named Leonhard was different.

Quaang!

Even the figure of trying to move a little faster and apply strong power to the sword looked unique.

‘Even if it looks simple, I don’t try to attack simply.’

The sword was mostly straight.

However, after momentarily widening the distance, when the aura of brilliant blue light was wrapped around the whole body, the speed of the sword attack, which accelerated and slashed, would be faster than expected.

It’s to the point where it’s impossible to see it at the level of a cadet who just entered this year.

Even the fighting spirit in the cadet’s eyes was extraordinary.

Kwaaang!

I saw a large splash of brilliant blue light blocked by the ice wall.

Until the energy is canceled at once.

“stop. until there.”

So I had to stop there too.

It was obviously a completely different feeling from cadet Han Chun-seong, but the feeling was strangely similar to him.

Even though he knew that a sword could not penetrate the ice wall, he kept coming face-to-face with the fighting spirit. will power… .

“…ha.”

As I took a deep breath and straightened my posture, a smile leaked out without me knowing.

“It’s completely different from Cadet Han Chun-seong. It’s amazing how similar feelings can be.”

“Dear Anastasia, you saw the agar star… test.”

He nodded his head with interest in his eyes and spoke again.
