I Became An Academy Spearman

Chapter 10: Completely Different Positions (2)

Huh? Han was taken aback from her harsh words.

Your Spearman attribute is a common grade. Im not asking with the intention of hurting your feelings, but because Im genuinely curious.

As she suddenly spoke in a serious voice, he was speechless for a moment.

She had a strange look in her eyes.

Instead of her glaring at him, he could see the innocence of her question. She really didnt mean any harm.

Genuine curiosity, as if she couldnt understand him or his goals He was dumbfounded.

Still, he kept his composure.

Since he knew his attribute was a common Spearman, he had expected this kind of conversation.

Glesia, I know my attribute is not good. But that doesnt mean I want to quit the Academy and have a mediocre life.

He tried to speak as calmly as possible.

It was the first time someone had directly hinted to him that his attribute was garbage, but he didnt want to show that he felt affected by that.

You dont want to have a mediocre life? Thats the only reason?

Yes. Is my answer strange?

Frankly, I still cant understand it. Im sure there are also people in the Academy with attributes superior to mine. Honestly, if you enter the academy as a common grade attribute, you wont be treated great by others, right?

Glesia, who had only responded briefly earlier, very clearly and articulately expressed her opinion. He was thoughtful for a moment. Posted only on NovelUtopia

What should I even answer with?

He could think of nothing.

He felt he was about to spit out some harsh words or a string of curses, so he bit his lower lip to restrain himself. She was just curious, she had no malicious intentions.

He knew how painful it would be for her to hear the ugly words he was thinking.

He was finally able to speak again when he calmed his mind.

Before I answer your question, Glesiac there is no particular reason as to why I shouldnt enter the Academy either, right?

There is no reason why you should not enter?

Yes. My life wont be any better if I decide not to enter the Academy. Its hard to be treated well anywhere with the Spearman attribute.

He basically asked her the opposite of her question.

There was also no reason for him not to enroll in the Academy.

If he didnt go to the Academy, it would certainly be the end of his life.

The novel he came up with had the word Academy in the title, so logically the main events would be related to the Academy.

Of that magnitude was the importance of the Academy in the world.

Those who dont make it into the Academy get horrible treatment.

At the very least, if someones attribute was useful for factory working or some other non-combat occupation, they could have firmly resigned from enrolling in the Academy.

But the attribute he got was Spearman, so it didnt make sense.

Among all the combat-related attributes, Spearman was one of the least versatile for other activities. He had no choice from the start but to try to be accepted.

So youre doing it because it will be hard to get a better treatment elsewhere?

Its not that. The most important thing is that I dont want to live in mediocrity. I believe that if I try hard I can shine, even if I have a common grade attribute. Thats why Im going to try to go to the Academy.

Of course, in the world of the Great Royal Academy that he knew from the novel, he could confirm that not a single person had shined with the Spearman attribute.

However, he couldnt just stay frustrated.

The only thing he knew about this world was related to the Academy.

Unless he wanted to spend the rest of his life doing drudgery in inns, he had to get into the Academy somehow.

If I try hard, I can finally shine

When Glesia recited exactly what he had said, he couldnt help but frown.

But he remained calm.

This situation made him a little uncomfortable.

It was obvious that there was a limit to what he could achieve with his efforts.

It seemed like he had no future.

He kept bumping into reality all the time.

He asked, after exhaling briefly,

Glesia, is that all you want to know about me?

He could no longer tolerate this situation.

There was no point in continuing to converse with Glesia if she had this attitude.

Yes. My biggest doubt has been resolved.

Your biggest doubt Does that mean there was something else?

He was dumbfounded. Glesia nodded matter-of-factly.

Although he wanted to get out of his seat instantly. only a chuckle escaped him.

If this is what it meant to talk to her, he wouldnt have agreed to it.

He regretted it a little, but he was also curious.

He wanted to know what Glesia was interested in.

Han Seong. How can you be so confident?

Confident?

He asked, stunned at the unexpected word.

Why on earth would she ask that?
