I Became An Academy Spearman

Chapter 44: The King of Weapons (16)

***

Leonhard was silent as he listened to Han Seongs words. It did not seem that Han Seong had lied. Since he had first met the man, he seemed like a sincere person.

That was when he realized the true outcome of the fight.

I lost.

Leonhard hadnt expected to lose so soon after receiving an upgrade to his Legendary grade attribute. It was more shocking than he had expected.

Tap Tap

Then he turned his head as he heard footsteps approaching.

A group approached the two as the general viewing body of the cadets slowly dispersed.

Soon, all that remained in the immediate vicinity were Glesia, Yumia, and the Instructor Avalanche.

Congratulations, both of you. Instructor Avalanche began the conversation, nodding to each man. I did not expect to see such an amazing fight.

I dont think so. Leonhard replied humbly despite the instructors smile.

You dont need to be so modest. Although the sparring ended in a draw, it was truly extraordinary. Two cadets managed to evolve their attributes at relatively the same time during sparring. Its something extraordinarily rare. Cadet Leonhard and Cadet Han Seong, you both deserve recognition.

Leonhard did not feel satisfied at all despite the instructors praise. His heart was bitter. His heart was empty. He still lacked a lot. He thought he had recognized his opponent without arrogance.

But in reality it had not been so.

Did I really unconsciously underestimate Han Seong?

If he had looked at him as his equal, he would have acted differently. He had never anticipated that Han Seong would be able to react to that new move.

Otherwise, he would have first deflected his spear to ensure victory.

Well done, Han Seong. He recognized a calm voice, and his attention was immediately drawn to that person.

Glesia had approached Han Seong. Her long blue hair reached her waist. She still looked mysterious, but her face no longer had the indifferent expression. He had never seen her like this.

Thank you. Its been hard.

Han Seong smiled. And at that moment Glesia also sketched a smile.

She captivated Leonhards vision.

Leonhard! Are you all right? Are you hurt anywhere? Yumia, who had suddenly appeared by his side, smiled up him awkwardly.

Im fine. None of us got hurt like you saw.

Then he understood the whole context of the fight again.

It wasnt just that he had fought against Han Seong. It was a fight that had been witnessed by many people. This truth struck his heart. It was a sparring match that was witnessed by many people. He thought he would not remember the victory or defeat of this fight. He hoped that it would be so. Posted only on NovelUtopia

But it would stick in his mind, as surely as it would stick in other peoples minds.

The fight ended in a draw.

It was a miracle he hadnt lost.

A smile escaped Han Seongs face as he reflected on it.

He had already left the A-Class training camp and had separated from the others. He was a bit self-absorbed as he made his way to the dormitory where he would be staying.

Apparently hes not the only cheater.

He had taken full advantage of the fight against Leonhard.

Attribute Level 4.

He felt like he could fly through the sky. He had proven himself against the highest of the A-Class. He had also been recognized by the instructor at the training camp.

This would serve to strengthen his reputation. However, it still bothered him that the result was a draw. It would have been better if he had lost. He believed that the fight should end with his last attack.

But in the end, Han had made an absurd move.

It was because he knew what Leonhard would do next.

Thats why he was able to deal with it. He shouldnt have been able to react, but he did, as if he was predicting the future.

The main character in the novel always neutralized his opponent in the same way. Leonhard never killed them, nor would he deliberately inflict serious injuries.

Readers called him a carcinogen or too predictable. Although, it didnt seem to him that such a main character was a bad thing.

A kind protagonist. A sympathetic protagonist. He had taken advantage of it. He had to. As soon as he thought about it, he acted on instinct.

He extended his hand with the spear towards the space where Leonhard appeared, and the rest was history.

Im so sorry. Then, Leonhards downcast face came to his mind. His face had shown an expression of utter defeat at his words.

Actually he should have won. A small regret was added to his cheerful mood.
