164. I can finally spend time alone

***

That’s when Vermian underwent a huge change.

A peaceful weekend was continuing at the Central Academy.

ㅡYutov Park.

Chun-seong blinked blankly as he slowly entered the park.

“Did I come too early?”

The time is 11:13 am. There were 17 minutes left until the scheduled time of 30 minutes.

I sat down on an empty bench, keeping my eyes on the faces of the various cadets in the park. Even so, I decided to spend the remaining time until the appointment leisurely.

‘Wait while looking at the sky.’

I ate my heart lightly while looking at the blue sky without a single cloud.

There are no lectures on weekends like today.

So it’s mostly free and it’s time to take a break, but it really felt like ‘strange freedom’ to me.

The problems I face clearly exist, so even if I have free time, it doesn’t feel like free time.

A bizarre feeling, as if you are forcing yourself to take a break after procrastinating a task to be done.

‘Now there are 5 days left.’

Even so, I was at Yutov Park to make a normal appointment and keep it, as much as I felt relaxed.

It felt like a contradiction, and laughter leaked out.

‘…Because training alone doesn’t mean much.’

Right now I have level 5 talent. Reaching it was more important than anything else, so it was my keyword to go to the next level. It was focused on itself.

The keyword is ‘sacrifice’.

I accidentally fulfilled the condition of sacrifice. It was the fact that he expressed his strength with the determination to burn himself while dealing with Letea’s alter ego… … .

That’s why I made an appointment with that ‘person’, wondering if it would be more meaningful to spend time with someone.

The car I always thought of.

again. I heard footsteps slowly approaching me. But strangely, I didn’t want to take my eyes off the blue sky. It was a strange feeling of repulsion, and it was like a feeling of repulsion for no reason.

Maybe it was because the sky looked so pretty.

“sorry. Am I late?”

I naturally shook my head at the refreshing woman’s voice.

“no. I just arrived too.”

I forcibly removed my gaze and faced the being that approached me.

Characteristic light blue hair. Her face, which had clearly lit up, was still unfamiliar to me.

Maybe it’s because we haven’t met recently, but one thing we can be sure of is that Karite’s face keeps getting more and more beautiful.

“Karite. Long time no see.”

When I spoke with a light smile, Karite smiled brightly and naturally sat down next to me.

Sarak.

…Then I inadvertently stopped at the delicate scent of flowers that I felt from her.

‘Maybe I sprayed some perfume too.’

It felt like Karite was definitely changing in a positive direction.

“I know. It feels like such a long time. I feel like it was really hard to make an appointment with you… Actually, I wanted to see you more often.”

“Then you should have come to me.”

When I answered with a smile, Karite looked at me involuntarily.

“…”

The clear, pensive eyes had a very mysterious charm.

“… I wanted to visit you too, but I think I see you too often. Actually, last week I went to see you too often.”

When I said it with a light smile, I wondered what I was thinking about.

I was a little dumbfounded, thinking that it was Karite-like that he was hesitant to go to meet me because we had met often.

“If you want to see it, just watch it. There is no such thing as a term.”

“Is that… is it? Hearing what you say, I think that’s the case.”

“You can come over. Or maybe I can go find you Come to think of it, you came to see me that often, so I guess I should have come.”

While continuing the conversation naturally, the mind was like a blue sky.

My heart also has no pensive thoughts or worries.

When he didn’t feel even the slightest burden in dealing with Karite, this time with her just felt comfortable.

“…Well, that would be nice too. agaric. I think it would be best for me to go find you.”

“why?”

“It’s just… I thought it would be a little embarrassing.”

I stopped for nothing at the sight of him scratching his cheek as if he was embarrassed.

‘what. Are you ashamed of me?’

I thought of that for no reason, and the rumors floating around about me suddenly came to mind.

The girls you meet are different every time, that you change girls every day, or that you are dating several people at the same time… .

These days, bizarre rumors that were so heinous that they had no grounds were spreading endlessly.

I can’t respond to such rumors one by one, and I don’t know who is spreading them, so I’m leaving them as if I’m on the sidelines.

‘It’s a really ridiculous rumor.’

Where the hell is there a person as pure as me, and why such unscrupulous rumors are spreading… But when I remembered the rumors, I naturally understood.

“Okay, then let’s do that. If Karite comes to me, I won’t reject you either.”

Even as she spoke, she seemed to be right.

I don’t know why my image has become like that now, but I certainly didn’t know that if I went to Karite, it might have a bad effect on her.

“yes. In the future, I will find you more. And I think it would be nice to make an appointment like today.”

“…Promises are good too. Oh, but I think I’ll have a little work next week. How about the weekend?”

“Weekend? Weekends aren’t bad for me either. Well, Han Chun-seong, you must be busy on weekdays.”

Seeing Karite understand my words right away, I felt a little sorry.

“I also have a lot of work on weekdays, so I think weekends are the most comfortable to meet.”

In fact, I might not really have time next week. I was thinking so.

It would be best if I naturally reached level 5, but as each day passed, there was a high possibility that I would be forced into training.

I have to reach level 5 to be able to resist the apostle with my own strength, at least a little bit.

‘Even if Anastasia protects me… .’

It felt like a weak idea to vaguely rely on the strength of others. So I had to put in enough effort.

So that you can respond on your own in the event of an emergency.

“… … .”

The car I was thinking of. I saw Karite, who gave me a blank look.

A car that I wondered if I was too lost in thought. Karite suddenly let out a light breath.

I thought that expression was really strange, so I inadvertently asked.

“Why are you breathing so strangely?”

“Oh, nothing. Actually… I feel a little fortunate to be meeting you like this normally.”

“We saw each other often last week. You know that my body is completely healed, so what… .”

A small laugh leaked out at her words.

After visiting the hospital every day like that last week, I was rather more amazed by her reaction that she said she was amazed at how I look now.

Karite, who smiled along with me, calmly shook her head.

“But now I can see you in places other than the infirmary. Because we can finally spend time together.”

The calm voice seemed to say that last week and today are different.

‘I wonder if there’s anything different.’

Well, considering the refined atmosphere unique to the infirmary, it might have been uncomfortable for Karite.

I gathered my thoughts and slowly got up.

“Let’s go right away. I’m going to be a bit busy today.”

“… yes.”

Looking at Karite, who meekly agreed, he reassured himself.

‘Today’s characteristics of Karite.’

I was thinking of helping her improve her attributes.

If it was a level 1 characteristic, it was a section where a sufficiently large growth could be achieved.

Jeopardy, again.

Glimpse while matching each other’s steps.

I felt Karite’s gaze looking at me unconsciously.

Maybe it’s because it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, but her gaze felt a little more sticky than last week.

‘…It’s sticky.’

The expression I thought of at the moment was absurd, so I laughed.

Karite can’t look at me like that.

***

clap.

Even after closing the door and entering an inner room, Karite’s heart was beating abnormally fast.

pounding. pounding!

While aware of herself, Karite put her hand on my chest for a moment.

‘Let’s stay calm.’

We met again after 6 full days.

So, I had to spend this time more preciously and meaningfully. I had no intention of letting go.

“…This is the first time I’ve entered the family training ground, and it’s really spacious.”

“Does it look like that?”

“yes. I’ve heard that there is a family training ground, but it’s my first time.”

I laughed for no reason as I looked around the inside as if it were strange.

‘At times like this, I’m glad I have a good family.’

Taking Han Chun-seong, who was about to head to the C-class training center, and entering the training center dedicated to the Esildern family, he was honestly feeling proud.

Because I, who had always depended on Han Chun-seong and only looked at him admiringly, had something to boast about if I was a little better than him.

Even if it was the power of the family, I didn’t think much of it since I would inherit it later.

“Since there are no other cadets’ gazes or instructors, you can be comfortable. ”

“yes. I will.”

When Chunseong Han entered the training room with a grin, I swallowed my saliva while closing the door naturally.

clap. good!

Although the possibility of someone entering this place is extremely low, he took a deep breath while locking the door.

I could clearly feel my heart beating even louder.

By locking the door, it was as if it had been established that it was just the two of them.

‘Finally we can spend time alone.’

There is no more interruption or attention from anyone. Completely agar and me. It was a time for just the two of us.

Seruk.

I could see Han Chun-seong slowly turning around and fiddling with various tools and objects in the training ground.

Those eyes full of interest looked very innocent.

In fact, it was the first time I’ve been here because of the negative thoughts, but the facility itself looked pretty good.

“What do you think? Does everything look okay?”

“yes. It’s okay. I think it’s almost the same as the training ground or more.”

“I heard that the family invested a lot in the academy. It certainly won’t be bad.”

Even while standing next to Han Chun-seong, his mindset was different.

Now I can see him on an equal footing. Of course, I didn’t think his position and I were completely equal yet.

What I received from Han Chun-seong is indescribable. Still, just being together in the same space like this was enough for the moment.

“So Karite. What shall we do?”

“…I like anything.”

Even when I was speaking, I felt strange.

‘Would the question of what to do first sound so vulgar?’

The car filled with embarrassment at vain thoughts. Han Chun-seong smiled lightly.

“It is very difficult to say that. Then, shall we express the characteristics first? I think I can help.”

“Ah, yes.”

While answering, I immediately manifested the characteristic water element.

Cheer up!

Water started gushing into the air from both fingertips.

And while maintaining it, my heart sank at once.

“… … .”

Even to me, the rising water seemed weak. To the point where it feels so insignificant… .

“At this level, it seems that there is no problem with manifesting the characteristic itself.”

Then, when I heard a calm voice, I awkwardly nodded.

“Actually, it hasn’t been long since I’ve been able to properly express my characteristics. I started practicing properly recently… .”

As I spoke, I kept feeling ashamed.

The Han Chunseong next to me was a level 4 attribute. It can be said that he is at a unique level among his classmates. In contrast, I… .

‘It’s still level 1.’

I, who was excited about the fact that we could spend it together, now… I just felt like an idiot.

Just because my situation got better didn’t mean my characteristics improved right away. Because I haven’t developed yet.

Cheer up… !

Even if I put my heart into it a little stronger, the stream of water only gets a little stronger. It was no more than the amount of water pouring out of the magic crystal.

“Karite. How long can you keep your traits?”

“I kept it for about an hour, but after that, my body was overworked.”

There was no end to the shame felt at even the lightest questions.

It was like showing my classmates that… I was really lacking.

It was as if she were showing him naked, as if she were naked.

“…”

He somehow maintained his characteristic while recognizing the scorching heat rising to the nape of his neck, both cheeks and earlobes.

…I thought I would look more pitiful if I hesitated or hesitated.

“Karite. Excuse me for a moment.”

“…Ah, uh, okay.”

I was greatly taken aback by the unexpected remark, but I accepted it without hesitation.

snap!

Then, his hand rested on both arms that manifested their characteristics.

As soon as our hands, which felt heavy and warm, touched, my nerves were focused without my knowledge.

“…!”

It’s really embarrassing, but I couldn’t figure out what it was doing right now.

“My arms seemed to be shaking a little, so I tried to hold them. And Karite, I think confidence has a huge impact on character. Right now, I said that I haven’t used the trait in a while. I think it’s okay for now.”

He nodded blankly at the calm yet calm voice.

Seruk.

Then, with a little bit of strength, I grabbed my arm, and my body trembled involuntarily.

“You can rely on me, so be really confident. I’ll keep holding your arm until you manifest your traits. I believe in you, so you can trust me.”

“…That, I will.”

As I answered the words I heard, it felt like my head was floating for a moment.

Say you can rely on it. telling you to believe in yourself. Every single word sounded very kind.

Even so, I inadvertently swallowed my saliva.

‘Until I manifest my traits… .’
