I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy

261. East, Cheonseon Academy (26)

‘Brother.’

‘What’s the matter? You all call me big brother.’

‘…That’s it.’

‘Has this guy been overheated and forgot all his promises? Didn’t you decide to compete until you became an adult?’

‘Brother is also true…’

When I was young, when my body grew little by little, I started to deal with internal energy.

It was a summer day when Namgung Se-hwi, who was a half-brother, was called older brother.

I gave up the position of successor early on when I found out that my breathing was quicker than my older brother’s every time because of my unique constitution called the palatal artery.

Since I was young, my older brother, who was famous for his pride and bad temper, always treated me well for some reason. He did not ignore me, calling me the child of a concubine.

I still can’t forget the bitter look in my older brother’s eyes after I let go of the sword and couldn’t defeat me forever.

However, I grabbed the sword again. It was after his mother’s death.

‘Haa… Haa…’

‘Unyeon-ah, why did you grab the sword again? Don’t you already know your constitution?’

‘We have to kill the goblin who killed her mother. It’s a body that’s hard to live with for a long time anyway. Fortunately, there is a good swordsmanship.’

‘Think again if that’s really what your mother wanted.’

I muttered so softly that my older brother, who looked at me with pity in his eyes and turned his back, couldn’t hear me.

‘…Don’t expect it.’

I wanted to believe that.

‘The syllable artery? That’s fine…’

‘I heard that the sound is thick, but I think the mother is the cause.’

‘Tsk tsk… I thought I wouldn’t have to worry about being the leader of the Murim League in the future.’

The people in my family who expected a lot from me swallowed the words of criticism that were poured out on my mother after it became known that I had arteriosclerosis.

‘I’m sorry… Unyeon-ah…’

In the end, I accepted both my helplessness at not being able to protect my mother and the guilt that I was the only one who survived.

When I accidentally found the Changgung Muae sword method, which had been worn down and crumbled over time, in the family’s old study, I thought maybe it was all fate.

My body is a small candle, my soul and will a flame.

Please, before this candle burns out.

Before the wax and wick melt and return to nothingness.

I wanted to reach the end of revenge.

However, a strange blind man appeared from the west, and the tiny flame was shaken.

He has offered me a deal, saying that he will treat the palatal artery without any hesitation.

To be honest, it is true that it was absurd.

Of course I couldn’t believe it.

I didn’t believe it.

But I knew what a terrifying man he was.

Any human holding a sword… No, even an ordinary human who lives his life as if it were flowing will soon realize how big of a weakness it is to live without being able to see.

“Miss Eisel, go to the left. Miss Aisel alone will be enough. Crank, Namgung Sohyeop, and Miss Lucia will go with me. I will leave the enemies on the right to the rest. Jangsan, don’t forget to draw the enemy’s attention first. .”

Unlike me, he overcame it.

Even though he was blind, he tried not to miss the sound of the enemy’s breathing with his ears, and distinguished each and every minute smell of the enemies with his nose.

I put everything down and looked at the end, but he was embracing everything and looking forward to the beginning.

“Crank, the opponent noticed our approach. A blind arrow at two o’clock. It sounds obvious, but it wasn’t aimed at the head.”

“I got it!”

ㅡKaang!!

Crank raised his shield to block the arrow that was shot low as soon as he finished speaking.

We are now in the middle of enemy lines.

It may sound crazy, but there was no strategy.

Furthermore, this blind man named Zeto was performing an outrageous act of locating enemies and allies in real time on this chaotic battlefield, obscured by clouds.

“Hmm… Now it’s Miss Lucia’s turn. Miss Amon and Miss Yuri are running this way. Could you help us with the time?”

“My, how could I be both Mr. Amon and Mr. Yuri at the same time…”

“hahahaha, just dragging the time.”

“…Okay. I-I’ll try…!”

This was command.

I mean the command of the music, not the command of the army.

Once upon a time I visited an orchestra called ‘Orchestra’ that came from the West.

The ‘conductor’ standing in front of a large number of musicians played music while giving instructions to the musicians with a small, long stick.

“But where do I go…?!”

“It’s five o’clock.”

“……”

“… Over there.”

The conducting was perfect and elegant.

Beautiful music was born at his fingertips.

“Jangsan, watch the back of your head!”

“Ahh!!!”

“Be careful though…”

That doesn’t mean that the sound of the melee that I was hearing right now actually sounded like a performance, but when I recalled the image of a soldier who would sometimes lock himself in his room and agonize over large-scale battles of the Murim Alliance, there was no doubt that he was an excellent commander. .

It was the time when I was idly chasing Zeto, who was piercing through the clouds without hesitation, overcoming the sound of dozens of people shouting and all kinds of weapons colliding.

“But if it was this easy, wouldn’t it be possible to fight without wasting time?”

Crank, holding a shield and blocking the fireballs and arrows pouring down here and there, asked.

“I just waited until my opponent showed all their cards.”

“L…?”

In spite of his answer, the question of Crank was not resolved.

It seemed like an ambiguous expression.

For reasons unknown, it seemed that he was not fighting his opponent, the Ogyejo.

Is it related to a group of unknown thieves I met earlier?

Just in time, I also had a question, so I asked him.

“But why did you bring me here?”

I’m not particularly helpful in battle right now. I thought I would be with the red haired woman who was a hostage, but it was an unexpected choice.

“I didn’t want to stand on top of anyone… But people around me kept encouraging me, and I felt like I had my limits on my own. I was afraid this would cost a little bit.”

“…Did you mean everything you said earlier?”

“I joke often, but I mean it. Sooner or later, war will break out, whether intentionally or unintentionally.”

A voice that does not shake even an inch.

This man really had a war with the demons in mind.

“Well… I’m busy with other things right now.”

With those words, Jeto broke through the clouds and ran out.

I hurried after him.

The moment I followed him, he was out of breath as usual, but for some reason he didn’t feel overwhelmed.

Even though it was before the palatal artery was treated.

ㅡ Kkeok!!!

Soon, a scream from an unknown person rang from the direction Jeto was running.

I quickly broke through the clouds and caught him again.

Zetto thrust his sword into the shoulder of the rider who was holding a flag with the design of the Five Gyejo.

It was a student with a familiar face named Geumjeha.

Although he was small in size and had poor internal skills, he was known to have entered the academy because he had a knack for trachea.

Somehow, he was in a similar situation to me, so we used to talk to him from time to time. In this test, he must have been the rider of the Five Gyejo.

“Geum Sohyeop, are you okay? It’s a test for the students of the academy, but it’s just training. Isn’t this too harsh?”

I approached Jeha, who was bleeding from a sword stuck in his shoulder, and checked his condition.

However, Jetto, who had the sword driven into his shoulder and pressed against his chest, seemed unwilling to draw it.

“I don’t know who Jin So-hyup is, but this is not the Jin So-hyeop that Namgung So-hyeop knows.”

“What do you mean…”

“……”

I asked back at the absurd sound, but at the same time, Geum Je-ha’s reaction was suspicious.

“Puhahahaha!!”

At last, the pain was washed away from Geum Je-ha’s face, and he started giggling like crazy.

“How did you know? He’s more terrifying than a ghost.”

“It stinks like that. How can you miss it? So where is the ‘Golden Coal’?”

“Where is it… There’s no way he’s still alive even though he’s stripped of his skin. I miss the blood of the guy who was left alone and shivering. It’s sweeter than any other alcohol.”

“……”

As Zeto said, this person was not forbidden.

Kinjeha I knew was a timid man who, far from laughing so meanly, was full of shyness even when he smiled, showing an embarrassing smile.

Jetto presses harder on his chest.

“That’s bullsh*t. I already know that your superiors aren’t the kind of people who won’t make a corner for me.”

“Kuhhe…! Well, is there any reason why I should tell you that? Chuck…”

Then, the guy who had the appearance of the undergarment stuck out his tongue.

His tongue had something like an odd character engraved on it, and the character was scorched red as if it were being burned.

“Hmm…”

In that fleeting moment when the situation seemed to be turning out of the ordinary, Zeto calmly rummaged through his black robe.

After taking something out of his pocket, he quickly threw it at the guy who was sticking out his tongue.

ㅡPoo-wook!

The object that hit the guy’s tongue exactly was a thin needle.

‘Spit…?’

While holding it in my eyes and asking questions like that.

“Ugh…?”

The letters engraved on the spitted tongue were slowly disappearing.

Zetto carefully removed the spit from the guy’s tongue, then stretched out his hand behind him and shouted at the crank that had arrived just in time.

“Crank, shield.”

“Huh? Uh, uh…!”

ㅡKwagak!

Zetto grabbed the shield that flew in at high speed without even turning his head, and immediately slammed the shield into the guy’s mouth.

“Awesome…!!”

Jetto, who raised his face to the guy whose mouth was blocked by the shield, muttered in a much lower voice than usual.

“Even if you bite your tongue and die, you won’t open your mouth… It makes you wonder. How long can you keep that mouth shut?”

The murderous blood that Jeto spilled while leisurely raising the corner of his mouth was so heinous that it was impossible to distinguish who was evil and who was good.

“Ugh…! Ugh…!!!”

The guy whose pupils were shaking violently to live struggled.

“Crank, can you hold him down like this?”

Within seconds, Jeto, who entrusted the shield to Crank, robbed his hand.

“I don’t know why you’re doing this… But did we win anyway?”

Without knowing why, Crank, who had been covering his mouth with a shield under his fake ban, looked at his flag and asked.

“Whoa… With the flag of the Five Kingdoms fluttering in our arms, we’ve won. But I don’t intend to end the joint training right away. For the rest of the time, we’ll have to open his mouth… And find the missing gold cow. “

“You’re going to continue training? But the instructors are watching you, right?”

“It’s okay. To the instructors who will be observing us from the top of that valley, only the Golden Gorge will look far away, so they’ll think the capture of the flag isn’t over yet.”

Crank nodded in agreement with my answer.

“…You knew how to handle saliva?”

“Yes, it handles that quite well too. I was thinking of treating the small neck of the male arch with acupuncture, but it will take a while because it’s my first time treating arteriosclerosis.”

“Is this your first time…?”

I wondered if I was listening to nonsense.

If it was a disease that could be treated with acupuncture in the first place, wouldn’t it have been treated sooner?

That doesn’t mean you don’t know that.

“Don’t worry. You just saw it.”

Nevertheless, Jetto just let out a faint smile as he patted my shoulder with his mouth open.

Certainly, despite the fact that he was blind just a moment ago, he threw a saliva like a dagger and removed the unknown spell engraved on the tongue of the fake taboo.

It was around the time when I thought that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to try it because I felt that it was very reliable and that I would not lose my life.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever thrown a spit from a distance, and this method is pretty good too.”

At his words, I carefully imagined him treating the palatal artery by throwing saliva from a distance.

“Why…?”

Confusion and doubt mingled, and such a shriek came out of his mouth.

From noble mtl dot com

At this, Jeto, who was about to announce the end of the battle to the crew beyond the clouds, looked back and scratched his head.

“I feel a bit reluctant to grope the back of a grown man…”

“……”

Because it was a more plausible reason than I thought, I kept my mouth shut.
