I Became An Academy Spearman

Chapter 36: The King of Weapons (8)

Leonhard chose to view people a different way. Each person had his or her own value, in addition to what their attribute might be. Therefore, the value of people should never be limited to the grade of their attribute, as was established by the world.

Even if he had not received a Legendary grade attribute, he did not consider his attribute to be everything. This allowed him to look at his fellow cadet named Han Seong without prejudice.

He did not doubt the strength Han displayed.

Although it could not be considered normal for a common grade attribute, he recognized the strength behind it because he knew it was a product of effort.

Leonhard did not look down on Han Seong. How could he, when Han was making more of his attribute than most cadets would do during their duration here at the academy?

His anxiety over the prolongation of the fight disappeared completely. Fun, happiness, pleasure, joy positive emotions invaded him. His mind had become serene like the clear blue sky.

Suddenly, he heard a sound.

Haaah Haaah

It was the sound of overly accelerated breathing.

Clang Clang Clang

But it was immediately covered by the sound of a rapid succession of crashes.

Soon after he covered his defense, he had time to look at Han Seong. His body was drenched in sweat and he looked completely disheveled. Also his two unfocused eyes caught his attention.

His condition is not normal.

His abnormal appearance showed that he had reached his limit. His face was flushed. He was breathing heavily.

Leonhard could barely believe his eyes. Han Seong had been wielding the spear in this condition until now? He had been so focused on blocking the spears fierce attacks that he hadnt spared a thought about Han Seongs condition.

Should he take the initiative to stop the fight?

Clang Clang Clang

As he forcefully repelled the attacks, he noticed another change coming over Han Seong. A faint blue aura was all over Han Seongs body. It was a sign that his attribute would level up. It was a phenomenon everyone dreamed about. It was called Blessed Light.

Clang Clang Clang

A conflict arose in a corner of his mind as he faced a spear that suddenly changed direction and speed towards him. Grunting with exertion, he parried each blow as his mind raced.

What should I do?

He was satisfied with what had happened so far. He didnt care how the fight ended, and he didnt want to think about the outcome now. Han looked like he was ready to drop, and he didnt want to risk injury to him.

But Leonhard also didnt want to stop the fight even though he was worried about Han Seongs body. If he stopped the fight right now, the Blessed Light that now resided in Han Seongs body would disappear without any lasting effect.

It meant that Han Seong would lose a great opportunity.

With all this running in his mind, he finally made a difficult decision. He did not believe that the fight should continue.

The only solution was that the fight had to be ended as soon as possible regardless of whether Han Seongs attribute had reached level 4 or not.

He had to finish the fight with his sword.

Han Seongs body occasionally trembled in Leonhards vision, as if he was an image flickering in and out of existence. A state where intense pain spread through his body that was beyond his limits. He knew what it felt like in that state because he had trained intensively in preparation for the academy. Posted only on NovelUtopia

And he knew just how dangerous it was.

I have to finish it.

Immediately after

!

The way Leonhard wielded the sword changed for the first time during the fight.

***

Han Seongs vision was blurred.

There was no thought in his head.

How to attack with the spear? Should he wield the spear to make a great slashing motion?

He himself did not know now. He only wielded the spear at the other in a trance-like state.

Han Seong had clearly exceeded his limits. Not only physically, but also mentally. Everything had surpassed beyond his capabilities.

Han felt like he was floating.

I

It seemed like he was not himself. It was like his whole body was out of control. He was just acting on reflex or, was it instinct?

He would stab with the spear, Leonhard would block, slash with the spear, Leonhard would block, stab with the spear again, Leonhard would block, slash.

This had happened countless times.

Clang Clang Clang

His ears became accustomed to the intense sound of iron clashing loudly. The sparks from the clash of their weapons disturbed his blurred vision.

Suddenly, he could distinctly feel his body again. Every tired, aching part and joint of it.

Clanggg

With a louder sound than before, his hands holding the repelled spear were pushed back. Hans blurred vision recovered instantly.

At the same time, a powerful blue light enveloped him from head to toe.
