155. between him and her

***

ㅡ!

The aura of water that surrounds Changsin.

A new and mysterious sensation was felt at my fingertips through Changsin.

It’s a completely different kind of power, but it’s giving me new power enough to describe it as powerful.

“I’ll believe you.”

Along with Milia’s soft voice. When her hand that was superimposed on top of his was gently removed, he glanced into her eyes and kicked the ground without delay.

‘The highest score… !’

Reflecting on her words of trust in me, I further strengthened my will.

This midterm evaluation was not just for me. Milia willingly approached and teamed up to take the test together. So I wanted to work harder and get high grades.

Because I also wanted to pay back a little bit to Milia who helped me in the past.

ㅡ! ㅡㅡㅡ!

The mana that exploded as I kicked the ground was explosively wrapping my whole body before I knew it.

The only place in the blue field of vision where mana is not dwelling is the spear blade and spearhead imbued with Ceshi’s energy, and my two arms holding the spear blade.

In order not to be distracted, I leap towards Kali in front of me without being conscious of the mana of the spiral.

Rather than linear movement, it emphasizes speed and quickly kicks the surrounding space as if wandering.

“As expected, the spirit is strengthened. not bad.”

As if she was familiar with me like that, as Carly kept her place, I gave an answer in my head about what kind of attack would be good.

‘A near-infinite combo.’

It would be nice to have strong power in one blow, but I thought that the power of Ceshi that helps me right now is in the natural ‘flow’.

Yesterday, I felt that my attack would give me even stronger power when I made a series of attacks like a stream of water.

That’s why there was no hesitation in opening the window.

Chew!

The spray of water followed the spear blade as it moved lightly through the air, rushing faster as if pushing the spear.

Poof!

Watching Kali dodging the blade with a light nod of her head, she concentrated heavily on using her hand more quickly while retrieving the spear.

I think about the next consecutive attack in one stroke.

And I thought it was possible for me now.

Chacha chacha chacha!

In an instant, a spray of water rises as if it fills the air, greatly disturbing the view. Amid the countless splashes of water, the blades of spears rushed forward endlessly.

It seemed as if countless sprays created more currents and paved the way for the spear to advance.

refreshing. The feeling of refreshment and the strength Ceci lends to me… I really liked this moment.

“great.”

With just one word, Kali began to deflect the rushing blade of my spear.

…It was a sight that other cadets had faced several times while taking the exam, but it was truly shocking.

Paang-! Peeing—!

The space itself vibrates, and the bizarre sound of gong sounds in succession, lightly shattering the spear blades imbued with the power of three o’clock.

No, it was safe to say that it bounced away and pushed me away again.

Carly was expressing her traits with just her eyes, without lifting a finger.

It’s hard to believe that all my attacks are being deflected with a simple vibration.

I’ve been facing Anastasia for the past few days and I think she’s the strongest. I was very conscious of it, thinking that it was the strongest among the beings I faced. The Kali in front of me could also be said to be an absolute being recognized for its strength as the axis of the empire.

“…Kuh!”

When exposed to dozens of vibrations bursting out in the air within a few minutes, both arms holding the spear recoiled.

Right now, my movement is accelerating through the mana wrapped around my body, but my two arms do not contain mana.

Based on the power of the spirit, Ceshi, I’m only pushing forward with the spear’s quick blow that emphasizes technique.

The two arms were not protected by mana at all.

‘Still, I have to face it in this state.’

The main purpose of this midterm evaluation was to match each other’s sum.

If so, it was meaningful to proceed with the evaluation as if it were in harmony with Ceci, the spirit that Milia had added, rather than focusing only on my strength and running into each other.

It was not important to create better results with my own strength.

good!

Moving with great spurts across the ground, I started setting variables in the diameter of the spear.

I thought this would put less load on my arms than attacking with speed and flow from the front.

‘Anyway, the flow continues endlessly.’

The continuous flow of water did not stop at one place.

Following my thoughts, I spurred the ground and threw out the spear.

Chow!

The blade of the spear, which had been creating spray as if it was raging in one place, was transformed into a brush drawing spray in the air and began to spray spray into the air.

Piing-! Peeing ㅡ!

Even if I throw a spear at a blind spot like that, Kali deflects all my attacks with vibrations generated in the air, as if reading.

The visible result itself did not change much from before, but the load on the arm itself was significantly reduced.

Rather than facing dozens of vibrations in a stopped space, the aftermath of moving and throwing a window was less.

And in an instant, an accident struck.

“…!”

As usual, I was creating a stream of spray as if spinning around Kali, but I suddenly stopped in one place.

Seruk!

Using the stopped foot as an axis, the body rotated once, and unlike before, the spear was strongly retrieved toward the body.

Then, for a moment, my eyes seemed to overlap with the past.

ㅡ!

In the first sparring with Leonhard, I retrieved the spear, and for a moment, the blow of conversion that I let out like light.

And Leonhardt had to block it with my blow with the sword face.

‘That’s not enough.’

moment. Even as I pushed the spear I had pulled with my body, the accident continued.

That’s not enough.

There is no way that my attack, which was blocked even by Leonhardt, could work against Carly, who can be said to be an exceptionally strong being.

So I needed a stronger, faster, more overpowering attack.

“…….”

In the midst of a slow-flowing accident, I naturally twisted the spear that was thrown out and gave strength to my wrist.

Then, the illusion that the trajectory of the spear blade rotated greatly occurred.

In the sense of twisting thoughts, the sense of three o’clock that was synchronized was very little. It seemed to follow my thoughts.

At the same time, the spray of water began to cover the spear blade as if it were spinning strangely.

Chara la la la rock!!

At that moment, a huge spray of water raged and the spear blade moved forward without any resistance.

…The speed at which the blade moved was unbelievable even to me.

I just left it to the flow in a wonderful situation that made me forget reality for a moment.

Pi-eeing-eueu-!!

As the unquestionably strong vibration burst out of the air, it seemed as if my breath stopped for a moment.

rattle!

The turbulent spray of water and the advanced spearhead completely stopped.

When I gave her a blank look, Carly nodded her head with her beautiful eyes in an arc.

“Really… The more I look at Cadet Han Chun-seong, the more I feel like I’m running out of things to say.”

“…Yes?”

A car that had been in an accident and spat out stupid answers.

Seruk. Carly reached out for the spear blade that had stopped in midair.

…At that moment, the quivering spear blade completely stopped as if it were frozen in the air, and I couldn’t do anything while watching it.

snap.

Holding the blade, Kali slowly lowered the spear.

“The midterm evaluation ends with this. A Cadet of Han Chun-seong doesn’t have to exert more power than this. Because I just saw everything in one blow. And… because Millia seems to be struggling a little.”

At her calmly continued words, I unconsciously looked behind me.

“Cool!”

There, Milia with a pale complexion was coughing loudly.

Poof!

That moment. I hurriedly loosened my grip on the spear and let go of my concentration.

Then, the energy of Ceshi wrapped around the spear blade was released at once, and she immediately flew towards Milia.

“Milia! it’s okay!?”

Reaching in front of Millia at once, remorse rose in his heart.

The power of the spiral, which was only hoped for inadvertently, made Seshi, who was sympathetic, also embrace the power of the spiral.

And as a result, Ceshi miraculously sympathized with the spiral power I wanted, but that amount of subordinates went to Milia.

“…yes. are you okay. And I’m sorry. I guess I can’t stand it yet.”

Watching Milia staring at me with a helpless smile, I carefully grabbed her shoulder.

“I just… wanted more. Ceshi’s sympathy is sure to take a toll on you as well.”

As he spoke, a light sigh leaked out.

…Even in the midst of a sense of crisis and alertness, it felt like my heart sank.

In an instant, an unexpected situation happened. Even during yesterday’s practice, I couldn’t imagine that I would be able to unleash such power.

Three o’clock reinforced spear. I thought that if I could handle the power of water, that would be enough. I was hoping for more than that.

“I’m really good… more than that, I was really great. I can’t imagine being able to show such great strength with Ceci… I can’t help but admire, too, right?”

Milia, who had calmed herself down a bit, smiled brightly as if to reassure her.

“…sorry. I should have discussed it properly and tried it.”

“Because I’m really fine. You don’t have to be so sorry.”

When Milia smiled softly, I was able to release my hands from her shoulders.

I let out a small sigh of relief.

“I’ll be careful from now on.”

***

Tuk-tuk.

Kali inadvertently turned her head while holding the blade of the spear and wiping off some water from her hands.

Where her eyes were headed was Han Chun-seong and Milia.

“…sorry. I should have discussed it properly and tried it.”

“Because I’m really fine. You don’t have to be so sorry.”

The appearance of the two people exchanging a series of conversations… .

“……”

Carly had a really strange feeling. And it wasn’t just Carly who felt that way.

“…”

“…Wow.”

The two of them had such a strange atmosphere that most of the cadets around them stared at them.

Han Chun-seong, who sincerely cares for Milia, and Milia who smiles gently facing him.

It was as if the two people felt their feelings for each other… It was to the point that most people inadvertently thought that they matched well.

“I’ll be careful from now on.”

Then, as Chun released his hand from her shoulder and spoke, Millia paused and nodded.

Seeing her flushed face, Carly inadvertently licked her lips.

“…”

A really nice sight.

As the purpose of the midterm evaluation was for the cadets to cooperate with each other and exert their best efforts, this situation can be said to be the most ideal situation she wants, but… .

‘Why… does it feel so strange?’

Kali let out a light sigh and tried to calm her strangely fluctuating heart.

He shook his head and opened his mouth slowly.

“Then, the last member of the group, Luna and Cadet Gerard, is in front of this instructor.”

With the final group exam over… Carly just wants to rest.

She feels a little… .

No, it was very bad.
