chapter 40
***
A world in which the attributes given to them have the greatest value.
-Grand Royal Academy.
Having perused the novels set in that world, I knew how absurd this world was and how fate could be determined by the given qualities and talents.
However, even if the attributes I was given were low, I was also looking at the hope that I could reach beyond that by working hard.
And now.
I was feeling a surprise that was completely different from that.
‘To this extent with the power of a pure individual rather than a characteristic… … .’
Even though I thought that the rank of the trait wasn’t everything, I thought that the ‘level’ of the trait itself was really big.
It is said that there is a gap that cannot be narrowed by level beyond the level.
However, I felt like I realized anew that even the level wasn’t everything.
“… … .”
“… … .”
facing each other now. I also felt surprise in Luna’s purple eyes.
It’s definitely different from the surprise I felt, though. As if surprised that much, she didn’t even move now.
So I didn’t feel the need to make more windows either. Because the match just ended in one sum.
When I glanced at the floor a little further away from her, I saw a completely broken kite shield. How much power was contained in my spear that struck the shield, so even I could feel its power all over again.
Through that much mana, I achieved this amount of twist. It was possible to create a gear nose kite shield in Luna’s hand.
Still, I couldn’t get to the skill level.
In the match with Luna, the harvest was more than expected, but the concept itself was still vague.
ㅡ[pokes one point and twists it]
I understood the concept clearly more than before the match. I couldn’t fully understand.
Still, it felt good.
Rather than the joy of winning the battle with Luna, the fact that I was able to get a bigger clue to reaching my skills.
“Dalian is stopped!”
He lowered the tip of the spear to the floor at the instructor’s calm voice.
At the same time, I felt the need to rethink about Luna.
‘Characters are traits, but Luna’s potential is absurd.’
Dalian a while ago was actually like Luna had barely used her talents.
Since I was in a rush to block my spear with a shield, Battlecure’s ‘damage correction’ ability was hardly applied.
Still, she was like this.
All she had was her own power to block my spear like that.
‘Is this the power of a high-ranking nobleman?’
In the novel, the Earl of Vermont, known as a fairly prestigious family, was also famous as a family with wealth and power beyond the high title of Earl.
Later on, he became a lover with Leonhardt and came out as a family that fully supported him.
“Result of Dalian. It is a victory for the Hancheonseong cadets.”
As I listened to the instructor’s voice announcing the outcome of the match, I smiled involuntarily.
‘Again, traits aren’t everything.’
Before the attribute was granted, Luna realized mana by herself and knew that she had gained the power to use it.
So, even though he is now at attribute level 2, he can handle mana.
In addition to that, Luna, who could handle various weapons, including weapons such as hammers and shields, was a typical cadet with a sense of elite elite.
A cadet who has been educated to some extent from an early age and has already been educated commensurate with the status of his family.
“……”
Luna, who still stared blankly at me, didn’t seem to understand what was happening right now.
How I twisted the kite shield out of her hand. It was, in fact, natural.
It was a concept close to a novelty that I did not fully understand.
Still, looking at him, I knew one thing.
‘You must be friendly with Luna.’
I really need to get to know Luna somehow.
The power of her traits is also power. Now, even looking at Luna itself, talent and qualities seemed to be innate.
To the point where it feels like she’s not the main heroine for nothing.
“…Agar Castle.”
Then, when Luna’s mouth opened, I smiled softly and met their eyes.
I didn’t even have the slightest intention of sulking at Dalian. Before Dalian, I honestly wanted to tease her a little bit, but now I am acknowledging her neatly.
“What are you? do you like me?”
But at the next words, I was speechless.
“……”
For a moment, I blinked like a fool, and for a moment I thought again that I might have heard the wrong thing.
Because it’s really so absurd. For a moment, I doubted my ears.
‘What are you talking about all of a sudden after calming down a while ago?’
How the hell did you come to that conclusion? I don’t understand a bit now.
Why is Luna looking at me with such a strange expression?
“Luna?”
As I carefully called out her name, Luna took a light breath for a moment and bit her lips. Each and every appearance was different to me.
Like. Because it seemed like I took her for liking.
“Hancheonseong over there. I’m really begging you… don’t like me If you really feel that way, I want you to give up on me early.”
Suddenly, he spoke in a voice as if he was really sorry, but I had no idea where I had misunderstood.
I really didn’t know anything.
But urgently, I had to open my mouth.
“No, Luna? Now I don’t even understand what… you’re talking about. Why the hell do you think I… love you?”
I don’t know why there was such a absurd misunderstanding, but it wasn’t absurd, so I didn’t understand it at all.
No matter how pretty Luna was in the first place, it wasn’t my taste. Rather than Luna, I think of a woman with a sweet and friendly impression like Milia as my ideal type.
“Luna. Because I really don’t have that kind of heart. Please don’t make any misunderstandings. If you say that all of a sudden… it really makes me really weird.”
I spoke to you one after another.
“…Sorry.”
After leaving a single word with a strange look, Luna turns her body as it is.
…and nothing came out of it.
Am I here to approach Luna and catch her? It couldn’t be.
‘Then it’s like… .’
I was being kicked by Luna right now, and it was obvious that it would look like she was nagging me and clinging to me.

Moreover, many cadets were watching the battle between me and Luna right now.
“……”
When we looked around blankly, some cadets were leaving their seats after the match was over, but the gaze of the cadets looking at us with strange eyes was clearly felt.
And the eyes of those cadets are slowly turning towards me.
‘Why the hell are you looking at me like that?’
As if looking at a man who had been confessed to, let the cadets look like they were pitying. I was really speechless.
It is said that accidents do not occur when the situation is completely beyond our understanding. Now I was just like that.
It was truly a dilemma.
It would seem like a miserable man to follow Luna, grab her and say no to her, and even if she was still like this, I was in a position to be mistaken for a man who suddenly fell in love with Luna and then kicked her.
“…”

Milia, who suddenly looked at me, caught my eye.
You seem as surprised as I am now. You stand there and look at me quietly. I came up with a method without realizing it.
A great way to clear up the misconception that I like Luna… .
But then I shook my head vigorously.
‘No matter how crazy you are… what a nonsensical idea.’
In order to clear up the misunderstandings related to Luna, for a moment, I had an absurd thought that I would confess to Milia as it is. That was something you really shouldn’t have done.
“Whoa.”
I sighed in a way that I couldn’t contain, but I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
‘Definitely won in Dalian.’
I felt like I was defeated.
It’s only the loss of that strange feeling… What should I really do?
‘But what I got is what I got.’
It was definitely a great harvest to get the concept of the skill more specifically through the battle with Luna.
Although it feels like the price is too high… … .

again. again.
The heavy but dull sound of heels interlocked and echoed in the darkened hallway of the dormitory.
It was Luna and Milia.
There was a deep stillness and a strange silence between them.
“…”
“…”
Originally, there was nothing to say between the two of them, although the atmosphere was friendly in exchange of words.
Then there were female students passing by them.
“Dinner menu is really worse than expected.”
“I know. I think the money you get as a C-class cadet is too vague.”
“Because it’s too expensive to eat something really tasty. 20 What is silver really… .”
“So, I can’t because I have 20 silver to ask the family for some support, and the cost of living is tight.”
The female students passing by while having a bright conversation. Luna, who glanced at them, felt very envious of them today.
If it’s original, yourself.
I have to talk to Milia like them now. Because I can’t.
“…”
Luna glanced over to her side.
Seeing Milia moving without saying a word, I felt really uncomfortable.
‘Why did it become like this?’
I really didn’t know why… it had become such an awkward atmosphere.

Milia and I had never had such a heavy, silent atmosphere.
We exchanged warm words and used to talk happily about what happened today. Now it was as if an invisible wall was blocking Milia and me.
“Luna.”
Then, when Milia suddenly spoke, she was greatly surprised and answered immediately.
“…yes?”
“Dalian was really cool today.”
“Oh, no. What a cool thing… I lost in Dalian so badly.”
“no. It wasn’t uncomfortable. Agar is just too strong. I think Luna was good enough.”
“…really?”
“yes. Really. After all, I thought of her as my dear friend and Luna.”

Milia’s friendly words made me laugh without realizing it.
‘Also. Milia.’
The friend I cherish and cherish the most, and the friend I want to be friends with forever.
First of all, thank you so much for talking to me.
“Even thinking about it now, I feel a bit sad about Dalian. It’s not that I’m not strong in agar… or that I don’t admit it. I wonder if I have put in less effort. I think it would have been a little different if it was a 3rd attribute level.”
The difference between level 4 and level 2 was also large.
But it was also funny that I blamed the level. A level is like proof that you have worked hard and evolved your character.
“no. If you think about it, it’s just that the agar is too strong.”
“Should I look at it that way?”
That’s when I received Milia’s words.

Milia’s eyes looking at me seemed to have subsided a little bit more than usual, even in a very subtle way.
So I thought again.
The end of Dalian with Hancheonseong fortress today.
Why did I suddenly say something so strange to Han Cheon-seong?
At first, I didn’t want Han Cheon-seong to come any closer to Milia, but ironically, after finishing the match, I started thinking about it again.
―What am I really doing for Milia?
Knowing my best friend’s heart, I don’t know how to act right… … .
At first, we didn’t know why Han Cheonseong was interested in us.
Still, I tried to prevent it.
By refusing him ahead of time, so that I don’t have any interest in him.
Do you know what Milia usually thinks of me? The good Milia didn’t know if she was going to give up her heart by guessing.
‘Is this still correct?’
I didn’t know that I was not good at others except for Milia, but I honestly wondered if this was enough.
Still, at least because of today’s events, I thought that Han Cheon-seong wouldn’t be interested in me in the future.
“…”
A faint smile appeared as she looked at Milia, who had suddenly disappeared.

Milia’s now complicated eyes seemed to be thinking of Hancheonseong again.
Perhaps it was because we had been together for a long time, Milia’s change was clearly visible…
