I Became An Academy Spearman — Chapter 89. Mutual Thoughts (1)

Weekly Chapter (1/5)

***

“Cadet Han Seong. The rules do not restrict romance between cadets, it is natural for cadets to develop affinity over time. A romantic relationship may emerge when the attraction is mutual. No one can be blamed because we are human.”

He didn’t know what to say. She was suddenly talking about love between cadets.

“But you don’t even have less than a week at the Academy? I think everyone should have the will to advance, they shouldn’t lose focus on other matters.”

Carly repeatedly tapped a finger on the desk.

He felt frustrated. He still wasn’t in love with some cadet, a ridiculous misunderstanding caused all this. He was nothing more than a victim in this situation.

When he turned his gaze to the culprit, Luna was looking at him as well.

“……”

“……”

And as soon as their gazes met, his purple pupils dilated.

He didn’t know if she said that maliciously or it was truly a misunderstanding, but Luna’s reaction was very strange. She belatedly avoided his gaze as if she felt pity.

Is this a hallucination?

When he was lost in thought .
.
Thud

A sudden sound startled him.

“Cadet Han Seong.”

“Yes, Instructor Carly.”

“I… I don’t want to reproach Han Seong Cadet for his feelings, because it’s quite natural. He didn’t try to embarrass you. But it’s still too early to waste time on that. I just wanted to tell you to think about it.”

He could only nod his head at her cold words.

“….I understand. I’ll be careful.”

There was no right answer for this moment.

The rumors spread so far that they reached Carly’s ears. She looked at it coldly because she didn’t like romance between cadets, she believed that cadets neglected their training when they were in love.

She hated those cadets because she liked hard work.

“…Well, let’s start the lesson.”

He was devastated as he pulled out the instructional material.

Carly’s impression of him worsened greatly.

It was a big problem for him.

What should I do?

He questioned whether he could use Carly’s private training camp in the future. That place was essential to his progress. He certainly needed to improve his relationship with her.

Carly was more important than anyone else.

“Cheer up.”

Dave patted him on the shoulder.

“…Rest up for a while. We resume the lesson in ten minutes.”

When she announced a short break, the cadets cautiously rose from their seats. There was a chilling atmosphere during the lesson, enough to freeze the classroom. No one dared to intervene unwisely.

To avoid upsetting her, everyone focused on their studies.

She didn’t relax even during the break, she was more uncomfortable than the cadets.

“……”

She behaved strangely, as if she were someone else.

She felt stupid because it caused the cadets to be uncomfortable.

Why do I feel down?

She began to hate herself.

Her gaze wandered around inside the classroom.

Some cadets were looking at the instructional material, but they mostly exited the classroom as if they wished to avoid sharing the same space with her.

Then, her gaze moved to Cadet Han Seong.

“……”
