I Became An Academy Spearman — Chapter 98. Innocence (2)

Weekly Chapter (1/3)

“So Glesia, let’s go train.”

He casually proposed as if nothing had happened.

She nodded.

“…Okay.”

The two walked towards the place where she trained.

She felt relief at Han Seong’s attitude.

And at the same time, great pity.

She couldn’t understand this man in the slightest.

The closer she became to him, the more incomprehensible he became.

***

Innocence.

The children’s innocence radiated.

They could erase the impurity of the people who looked at them.

They were able to express their feelings openly.

But Han Seong did not like children so much.

“Children are not always innocent.”

Their innocence had been tarnished in the new times.

There were some moments when he questioned whether his actions were innocent.

When he pondered the significance of the word innocence, he hesitated to assert that all children possessed it.

But now he felt the essence of that word.

“……”

“……”

Their conversation did not continue as they walked.

But he didn’t feel uncomfortable, he knew what Glesia was thinking.

The sincerity that he could not often perceive with a child, he felt much stronger when conversing with her. He could recognize it clearly.

Despite her age there were very innocent people.

…It was nice to meet a person who could shine.

She had the magic to erase people’s thoughts for a moment.

And she did not lie so as not to cause hurt to others.

Glesia’s gaze from earlier came to his mind.

Her eyes reflected feelings like fear.

He couldn’t answer right away when she asked him if he hated her.

She always spoke strangely. Even Leonhard and Yumia were quite confused because Glesia said things that could be misunderstood.

Her words always shook his heart.

She would speak even though she knew it could be misinterpreted.

She would not hesitate to do it even when an Instructor was around.

She would genuinely express what she felt without pretense.

She was the most innocent person he had ever met.

When they reached the place where she used to train, Glesia unsheathed her sword.

A iron sword.

“Yes. I want you to tell me frankly what you think.”

“…Alright.”

He nodded at her request.

She hoped he would tell her if she handled the sword in a needless or bad way.

He believed he could do that.

Glesia controlled her breathing. Then she moved her body.

He looked at her carefully.

A strong wind enveloped the space.

She moved like the wind was pushing her.

She swung her sword slightly, but hit the scarecrow hard.

She completely surpassed his expectations.

“……”

A bright blue light enveloped her, it was definitely not mana.

The omen known as blessed light…
