Became an Academy Spearman

880. [Western Front] – Giant Spiral (155)

***

Han Tiansheng looks very surprised.

And Anastasia, seeing Han Cheon-seong like that, was inwardly very surprised.

‘It wasn’t a skill.’

Han Cheon-seong was truly expressing power and embodying it into reality, dealing with a power that felt foreign even to me, who had encountered countless powers.

And Han Tiansheng described it as a ‘giant spiral.’

Even now, the golden window reflected in my eyes.

Even as I looked at the extremely compressed spiral, many thoughts came to mind at every moment.

‘It’s not a power I realized after reaching attribute level 8.’

Well, I encountered that power at the last sealing ceremony, so I wasn’t in a position to look into it in depth at the time, but now I understand.

A gigantic spiral that circles around Changshin despite being compressed, suppressed, and twisted. That in itself possesses ‘unprecedented power’.

So it was important to me that the first attack was only a one-dimensional attack.

‘If you use that skill with that power.’

That destructive power will definitely be on a different level.

“… … “Then I will go again.”

He just nodded as he looked at Han Tiansheng, who immediately took his stance.

Now that the training room has been opened up and surrounded, a completely different sense of interest has arisen.

‘indeed.’

How much power can Han Tiansheng show at his current level?

Slurp.

The right hand holding the spear was raised. Then he twists his waist, and his left leg bends slightly. In addition, several changes were seen.

The change in posture was extremely natural, and even during that time, Han Tiansheng’s golden eyes staring at me were strong.

That’s how it felt.

‘oneself.’

Although I was very surprised to hear about the strength of my ice wall, I did not feel frustrated or intimidated, but instead faced this reality.

He then shows his confidence as if he wants to break through my ice wall with his spear. That’s why I’m gripping the window even harder like I am now.

That was more different than anything else.

The officers I’ve encountered so far all break down the moment they realize the existence of my ice wall. Even though it was a simple couplet, I could see it clearly.

They feel their limits as they face the ice wall.

It was like that even though it wasn’t the situation I had intended.

‘What is an ice wall in the first place?’

It’s like a special power that exists only to protect me.

If I were not in a situation where I went on offense or defense, the strength of the ice wall protecting me would not be easily pierced by even the nine apostles.

Therefore, usually when their heart is broken, their characteristics also fade.

But now, Han Tiansheng is not like that.

“… … “It’s okay to use skills.”

In my thoughts, I suddenly opened my mouth.

“yes.”

Seeing him nod his head confidently to what I said, a slight smile escaped me.

It was purely nice to see.

myself.

The sight of me trying to face my own strength even more.

Sreuk!

Immediately afterward, a huge change was seen. As I raised my hand holding the spear even more, a shock wave made entirely of spirals erupted from the two giant spirals surrounding the spear blade, as if a storm were blowing in.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!

Through the golden storm that violently swirled around the training room, a giant spiral was seen wrapping around Han Tiansheng’s body.

‘Increased physical ability.’

I knew the application of power as soon as I saw it.

If such a huge spiral could be compressed and wrapped around Changsin, it would also be possible to divert a very small air current to one’s body.

Even as I just stared at it, I didn’t move a single step from my spot.

“… … .”

As if just observing, I looked at the power that Han Tiansheng would unleash.

The hand holding the giant spiral spear slowly turns backwards, taking on Han Tiansheng’s unique posture as if he were about to take a javelin.

It wasn’t throwing out a spear.

Han Tiansheng, using the opening, put all his power into the spear and tried to throw it with all his might.

ㅡ!

And as expected, I saw Han Tiansheng’s hand holding the spear as it quickly crossed the air.

The two gigantic spirals surrounding the Changsin quickly accelerated and exploded into space. And it reaches me as if erasing the space that existed between me.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!

And Han Cheon-seong’s body, which had naturally disappeared, grabbed the spear blade across space and launched an even faster spear at me.

‘The spear can contain twice the power.’

That in itself was a sight that was completely beyond common sense.

Firstly, throwing a javelin and putting a lot of force into the spear. Secondly, the body moves along the javelin and grasps the spear again with all of one’s strength. Then, the accelerated spear is thrown out with even greater force.

As a result, the giant spiral surrounding Changsin rotates as if it is accelerating, and the power to pierce one point becomes stronger as if amplified.

Kwagwagwagwanggwang!!!

The sound that rang out as it tore through the space was completely buried by the sound that erupted from the spear blade piercing the ice wall.

It was clearly visible to my eyes.

At first glance, it looks exactly the same as the first situation, but it is a moment that produces a completely different result.

Pasasasasasak… … !!

Among the countless pieces of broken ice, a golden window clearly catches the eye.

And this time, Han Tiansheng does not even try to pull back the hand holding the spear.

‘This is not a skill either.’

That’s why I knew I couldn’t break through the ice wall. I don’t even need to swing my sword.

Crispy… .

In the end, the window stopped.

In the open state, I broke more than 70% of the ice wall protecting me.

From the midpoint of the ice wall where the spear blade reached, a large crack spread widely around the area as if it were shattering.

But in the end, the ice wall did not collapse.

“ha… … “I’m not going to use the skill today.”

Beyond the cracked ice wall, Han Cheon-seong was seen breathing heavily.

“Is there a reason?”

“Yes, yesterday I trained only with my body. And today I’m only going to check the limitations of using my opening. I’m not being reckless… … “I want you to know first.”

As I spoke carefully and retrieved the spear, I calmly nodded.

“okay.”

While answering, I found myself looking at it again.

‘Attribute level 8.’

That growth is probably a level that the criminal can never reach. Even beings called geniuses, the majority feel that attribute level 8 is their wall.

So, the moment I first reached attribute level 8, the joy was nothing compared to my previous growth. Nevertheless, Han Tiansheng was correcting himself just a few days after reaching level 8.

‘Greater power. ‘You probably want to use everything you have and show off more.’

Rather, they try to restrain themselves and check each and every one of their limitations.

That was surprising.

That mind probably isn’t talent.

It’s probably not something that can be evaluated based on qualifications.

Because you can see the extraordinary from that mindset.

“… … .”

As I took a deep breath, I saw the ice wall slowly recovering.

Now that we have opened up, the ice wall protecting me is almost ‘infinite’.

The ice wall that appeared in reality to protect me, ignoring even the blind spots in my vision, was like a kind of absolute defense.

That’s because it’s a power of my own nature that goes beyond my consciousness and tries to protect my body.

If you concentrate your mind even more, you can even create a stronger ice wall than you have now.

“Han Tiansheng, try harder. “As long as you don’t give up, I will continue to hang out with you.”

Although I said this willingly, I was genuinely curious.

I wonder how much Han Tiansheng will be able to face my ice wall today.

“… “If I don’t give up, that means you might have to give me today, right?”

“But it doesn’t matter.”

Even though I answered lightly, a chuckle escaped me.

***

How much time has passed since I started training?

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

No, there is no time to worry.

Tuk.

However, the spear that left my hand slowly falls to the ground.

Even though I was aware of this, I was also feeling a sense of helplessness, my entire body empty.

“ha… … .”

Hot breath continued to leak out from my lips, but it immediately turned into pure white breath in a space filled with pure white cold, robbing me of the heat.

And now I could see it in my unfocused eyes.

“… … .”

The appearance of a woman who exists forever.

Through her blue hair, Anastasia, wearing a different dark blue officer’s uniform than mine, looked no different from when I first saw her today.

Sreuk.

I didn’t even have the strength to stand, so I just knelt down and barely managed to avoid falling.

The sound of heavy breathing rang in my ears, and my field of vision was naturally filled not with Anastasia but with the frozen white ground of the training room.

Tuk!

I could barely support my upper body with my two arms on the ground, but I could see the spear lying on the ground.

Saaa… … !

The golden energy surrounding the window was seen disappearing, regaining its original color. A smile escaped me as I stared at her blankly.

“under… … .”

It was really funny when I thought about it.

I felt like everything had disappeared from my entire body, but it was surprising that I was still able to remain open until the end.

… … And even though I poured everything into it, I couldn’t break through Anastasia’s ice wall.

I didn’t even know it was obvious.

Because the power of a simple giant spiral without skills has its limits.

But I wanted to test my limits.

In this state, I thought I could create various variables by utilizing my power… … .

“Let’s stop here.”

I struggled to raise my head at the calm voice.

“… … yes. “Thank you for taking the time today.”

I opened my mouth, but even my lips felt heavy now.

When I barely managed to straighten my upper body, I saw Anastasia slowly walking towards me.

Again.

Again.

Is this because she uses the opening and the entire interior is made of cold air? Her usually silent steps could be heard clearly now.

The image that is approaching me now.

“I have a personal question.”

“Yes, please feel free to speak.”

While speaking absently, I tried to retrieve a spear that had fallen nearby, but it was difficult to even reach for the spear.

“… … .”

The car was trying hard to properly retrieve the window while it was out of focus.

Suddenly.

I saw a pure white hand casually picking up my spear.

And as I watched that pure white hand naturally move towards me, I recognized it in a daze.

Tuk.

I was surprised by the hand that gently placed the window in my hand. Anastasia was already in front of me.

“Why on earth are you doing this?”

“… … yes?”

Even as I retrieved the spear, I couldn’t understand what she was saying for a moment.

“I’m curious as to why you’re obsessed with growing while putting so much strain on your body.”

As I looked up blankly at her calmly asking, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

Ariya’s request.

“… If you don’t mind, could you give me your hand?”

“hand?”

I saw her naturally reaching out to me even though she was very quiet.

Sreuk.

And while holding those hands, I thought absentmindedly.

The reason I practice like this, the reason I abuse my body abnormally.

That was one.

And with that thought, I raised my head and met Anastasia’s eyes.
