I Became An Academy Spearman — Chapter 86. First Time She Smiled (2)

She had more potential than him, that’s why she was in class A. Although his common grade attribute was at level 4, he could not compare with her. He could not defeat Leonhard even though his attribute was at a higher level.

The grade of an attribute made a big difference.

He decided to end this encounter.

“Glesia, it’s too late. You can ask me one question before we leave.”

He had already talked to her for an hour. Honestly, he was tired.

“A question?”

“Yes. You can ask me anything, even about enlightenment.”

The first enlightenments weren’t that valuable. It would be advantageous for him to tell her, even Glesia would have a better impression of him.

“Well…”

She hesitated for a moment.

“…Can I ask you something about your fight against Leonhard.”

“What do you want to ask?”

“What did you feel when you fought Leonhard?”

He didn’t have an answer for this question.

Many thoughts popped into his head, but there was only one suitable answer.

“He’s strong.”

“…Strong?”

“Yes. Leonhard is very strong. I even thought I might lose the fight, so I recognized that he overpowered me. Now I know I have to try harder.”

He actually remembered that Leonhard was the main character of this world, but he couldn’t say that. He couldn’t defeat him even though his attribute went up to level 4.

Although there was a big difference between them, the fight boosted his confidence significantly because he had fought against the most powerful person in this world.

He was confident that he could advance with the spear in his hand.

“……”

He stood up as Glesia seemed lost in thought. It seemed appropriate to end the conversation at this point. He was going to return to the dormitory.

“I’ll go first then.”

“Wait a moment.”

A firm voice stopped his footsteps.

Glesia quickly approached him.

When she held out her hand, his eyes grew wide.

“This is the price for answering my question.”

The coin she held shone brightly. It was gold.

“Will you give me a gold coin for answering a single question?”

Rather than receiving it, he inquired about it. He hadn’t even said anything important.

“Take it, I have plenty more.”

He wondered how much money Glesia had.

It was really hard to live on that money.

…But at this moment he received five months’ worth.

“Then I’m leaving. I appreciate you being here with me today.”

She left with a smile. He looked at her as if he was possessed.

She had never smiled like that before.

***

Glesia took off her clothes, which were dirty due to the intense training, as soon as she got back to her room. She headed for the bathroom.

As soon as she activated the magic stone, hot water fell from the shower.

She slowly closed her eyes under the shower. Suddenly she opened her mouth.

“Recognize your opponent’s power.”

It seemed she had gained an important clue to evolve.

She could not focus on herself alone, she had to recognize the power of others.

Han Seong gave her that notion in a nutshell. It was not stupid what Han Seong said. She was solely focused on winning against Leonhard during the fight.

Han Seong was really different.

He didn’t think about the outcome, he observed his opponent’s power.

“How can he really do that…?”

She muttered in a daze. She wondered how he could think like that.

“Friday.”

She remembered that tomorrow she could meet with him.

A smile appeared on her face as she washed her body.
