Became an Academy Spearman

892. [Western Front] – Change (167)

***

Anastasia felt the gravity of the current situation.

This is a time when things related to Han Cheon-seong are more important than the various tasks that need to be handled right away. And in this case, he thought he had to protect his side.

“… Yes, then we will cancel all afternoon plans.”

He soon caught his breath as he sent away Meryl, who had come to see him.

Coo!

Through the heavy sound of the door closing, I felt that time was passing quickly.

‘In times like these, you have to make choices and focus.’

These days, I feel like I need to make better decisions and act within the limited time I have.

After the execution of the nine apostles, there was definitely some free space on the front line, but I felt that I should not use that free space as before.

“… … .”

I especially often thought of this when I saw Han Cheon-seong breathing heavily next to me.

They achieve enormous growth and achieve achievements that others cannot understand. Even if I was called a genius, I was no exception.

Today too, he unleashed the power of Surachil Yeon and unleashed unprecedented power. It was strange to see it as a limitation of Han Tian-seong, and strange to see it as growth.

It just felt like the person itself had changed.

And then I realized that it was another type of ‘erosion’.

“Now there are less than 20 days left.”

Han Tiansheng’s stay on the Western Front was either long or short.

Although he was originally supposed to stay for a month and leave, Han Tiansheng voluntarily extended the period of service.

And even now, here on the Western Front.

Why did you do that?

Why does it have to be like that?

Just a few months ago, it would have been difficult to believe that he, a cadet, would be living a better life on this front.

The human mind is capable of adapting to more difficult situations, but it does not mean forgetting the more comfortable and comfortable life in the past.

But I rejected it myself.

Lately, many thoughts have crossed my mind. It seemed that if Han Tiansheng had stayed for only one month and left, a lot would have been different from now.

It had been about two hours since I stayed by Han Cheon-seong’s side with such complicated thoughts.

Slur… !

I could see the golden mana blooming through Han Tiansheng’s body.

“… … “This is.”

Although I was shocked for a moment, I did not understand the situation itself.

Originally, most of the mana that appears in humans has a blue nature. Since that is the most basic way of manifesting mana, it may take on different colors depending on changes in the nature of mana, but this was only possible if you were conscious of it.

But now.

Even though Han Tiansheng was unconscious, the mana flowing through his whole body was golden.

A situation that could not have happened originally unfolded.

Slurp… … !!

Golden mana bursts out endlessly, filling its entire body. Both the density and amount of mana are truly bizarre.

And I saw a change that I could not understand.

ㅡ!

It felt like I was being sucked in.

The golden mana that bloomed through Han Tiansheng’s body began to surround Han Tiansheng’s body as if it was about to return again.

… … And very quietly and slowly.

For a moment, I even wondered if I should suppress or erase that strange mana, but the results soon appeared.

“ha… … .”

A thick breath escaped from the corner of Han Tiansheng’s mouth.

I instinctively felt the breath containing magnificent mana, and the mana surrounding me exhaling deeply as if it were extremely comfortable.

‘recovery?’

I didn’t know what kind of phenomenon it was specifically.

However, the sight of golden mana surrounding Han Tiansheng’s body felt very similar to the power radiated by medical officers with healing properties.

So I had a vague guess.

‘That mana… … .’

It is said to have the same effect as treating Han Cheon-seong’s body.

As I watched quietly and did not relax, time began to pass by.

… … .

The golden mana enveloped Han Tiansheng’s body for over three hours. And Han Tiansheng’s face, which continued to exhale, became extremely stable.

“… … .”

At some point, I became speechless.

After Han Tiansheng lost consciousness, a high-ranking medical officer was earlier called to treat Han Tiansheng.

Although it would be difficult to completely treat the patient since he was unconscious, at least the measures were taken so that when he woke up, it would not be too difficult.

Therefore, even though he was breathing hard, his face, which still showed signs of exhaustion, now had a look of complete comfort.

The golden mana that slowly surrounded the body has now completely disappeared.

What does this mean?

There was only one thing I could guess.

“The power of Eustea is… … .”

Maybe it couldn’t be seen as a simple ‘spear technique’.

Therefore, such changes also appear in Han Tiansheng’s body. It is said that the nature of the power can change depending on how much it is honed and polished, but even so, the big picture itself does not change.

A trait with destructive power cannot have the opposite restorative effect. So most people don’t even understand the concept of ‘self-treatment’, much less deal with it.

‘Well, because that’s natural.’

I, too, am able to carry out some self-treatment, but the effect is not much compared to those with professional healing characteristics.

However, Han Tiansheng self-treated his body in an unconscious state. As he was thinking that, he suddenly felt that the afternoon was almost over.

Time passed rapidly just as I was lost in thought next to the unconscious Han Tiansheng. And then I got a feeling.

I hope Han Tiansheng will wake up soon.

Sreuk.

In fact, as Han Tiansheng slowly opened his eyes, I cautiously opened my mouth.

“are you okay?”

“… … .”

Han Tiansheng was blinking blankly and looking up at me.

My guess was that he would experience erosion or show some other abnormal symptom as soon as he woke up. It didn’t feel that way at all.

“Major Anastasia. How much am I… … “Were you asleep?”

“Evening is approaching now.”

“It’s already evening.”

I felt strange seeing him answer blankly. Or you could call it a sense of foreignness, and it seemed like her mood had changed.

So it felt strange.

‘What on earth?’

Han Tiansheng’s eyes, tone of voice, and even the way he looked up at me and seemed to be having trouble coming to his senses were all different.

Even though I thought it was because I had just woken up, the fundamental feeling itself was different.

It feels like my existence has changed.

Slurp.

As soon as he raised his upper body, I asked cautiously.

“So, are you feeling okay?”

“Yes, my body is… … There is nothing wrong. “Did you treat me while I was unconscious?”

Even though he healed his body, he doesn’t know it.

‘Complete unconsciousness.’

Then the words were even more different.

“The medical officer was called and simple treatment was completed. However, he did not proceed with any further treatment.”

“… … “So, has there been a change in my body?”

And when he finally figured it out, I carefully explained what had happened.

About the sudden bloom of golden mana and the fact that something like self-healing occurred, and that he became conscious not long after that.

Contrary to what I thought you would be very surprised by my words.

“ha… … .”

Han Tiansheng let out a strange smile that seemed somewhat resigned.

“Do you have any guesses?”

“Yes, there is.”

“What is that?”

“… … I think this is also Eustea’s will. “You may find it hard to believe, but I met him while he was unconscious.”

I was about to ask again without thinking, but I kept my mouth shut. And when I saw Han Cheon-seong, I realized why I felt a sense of strangeness.

Now, in my eyes, Han Tiansheng has clearly changed.

The way he looked at his hands and let out a slight breath, it seemed like there had been a big mental change.

Above all, his eyes were very different.

“First of all, try to calm down a little more.”

So I thought I needed more time. Her resigned eyes showed that she was feeling complicated rather than happy that she had grown up.

That too, I guess, to the point where it feels very heavy.

***

I felt a ‘change’.

Both directly and indirectly.

In addition, the image itself changed to the point that even my mind felt as if it had expanded significantly.

… … It was easy to see why.

‘I guess this is the change that overcame Eustea’s will.’

I thought it was a change that would have been difficult for me to imagine before, and a change that I could not have had.

So I thought this was also a change he gave me.

Anticipating my crisis, he left behind his own arrangements.

And he saved me by dying again.

“… … .”

My heart continued to pound loudly.

The meeting with Eustea remained only a fleeting memory, like a fleeting illusion or fiction.

Even though it is a moment that no one else can understand, it is a moment that only I can understand.

And when mana that I didn’t even know about healed my body, I knew that this was also his arrangement.

… … So I was even more grateful.

But I couldn’t even properly say thank you to him.

“ha.”

As I let out a deep breath, I tried to erase the lingering feelings that remained in my heart. And she had to think of the union with him at this moment and make it her own.

‘Is the biggest thing the experience of death?’

This moment was an experience that would be difficult to experience again in the future, and it will be of great strength to me. So, I had to become more aware of this moment.

‘Why I was able to grow.’

By competing with him with a spear, I experienced death many times, and my physical senses awakened again and again. It was a completely different experience from the will that can be expressed in an urgent situation right before death.

Changes that can only be realized ‘by dying’.

And with the advice of Eustea, who saw right through me, I was able to grow.

Because things that I could never experience were given to me again and again.

“… … .”

Suddenly, a red sunset appeared in my field of vision, illuminating the training room.

In terms of time, not even a day has passed. In the image created by Eustea’s will, I felt as if I had spent a very long time with her.

To me, death meant so much and stimulated the very essence of existence.

It is also the most primal stimulus.

“Major Anastasia.”

“… … uh.”

“Could you please give me one day tomorrow?”

At first glance, it was a rude request.

… … Still, I desperately needed Anastasia’s help.

“It’s possible.”

I carefully lowered my head as I saw her answer without even thinking about it.

“thank you.”

ㅡType 5: Bicheonsuwol (non-cheonsuwol).

Now I had to make my newly awakened power more completely my own.
