I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 107

107. Rising Power (1)

“My lord, I heard the news. You sent the recipe to Lady Yuri.”

Hutton, the Clementine family’s cook, asked Xerath, who was eating at the table.

Just finished eating, Xerath wiped his mouth with a napkin, placed it on the table, and opened his mouth.

“Oh, I did.”

“…It’s a presumptuous question, but did Lady Yuri finally find a partner? There was an uproar among the attendants. I wonder if they’re going to get married soon…”

“hahahaha, it would be nice if I could… I don’t even want to go that far yet.”

Xerath laughed lightly and said so.

It wasn’t even that Hutton’s words didn’t make sense.

This food using ‘Magma Bear’, the health food of the Clementine family, has a long tradition.

To tell you a story, the current head of household, Gerath Clementine, happened to know about the existence of this health food when he was young.

The young Xerath, who was very thin and dissatisfied with the world, once asked his father, Yuri’s grandfather, who was the head of the household at the time, about this.

What kind of food do you have?

The returning homeowner’s answer was very concise.

‘The day I ate it, I got you.’

Xerath did not understand the words at the time, but he later fully understood the meaning of these words on the first night of his newlyweds.

Similarly, the day Xerath ate health food, Yuri was born.

It is not easy to be able to have a child right away just because you want to have a child, even if you go through a rebellion.

In that sense, it was like a miracle.

That was the tradition and history of the Clementine family’s health food.

In that sense, Hutton was very worried.

Since it was the order of the head of the family, he followed it once, but he didn’t know that he would send the recipe to Yuri, who is not yet married and even has an engagement partner.

He was curious about Xerath’s intentions.

Since he knew Larsdoi, he opened his mouth again to solve Hutton’s question.

“Think of it as a class. After all, if you can’t cook properly, it won’t be very effective. I don’t know what to say, but… You should be well aware of your daughter’s cooking skills.”

This was merely a ‘preparatory study’ for Yuri, who will become a man’s bride in the not-so-distant future.

She says that one day she will be the food she will have to serve her husband herself.

She did not bother to send only part of the material, but sent her entire magma bear for her ‘practice’.

Anyway, magma bear itself is a very nutritious ingredient, so he thought it would be able to soothe Zeto’s exhausted body well.

Even though the taste is good, isn’t the sincerity of cooking homemade?

Jetho, who Xerath looked at for a moment, decided that he was definitely a person to keep in mind.

“…I do.”

However, despite Xerath’s explanation, Hutton was still hesitant.

Xerath wasn’t completely wrong.

In fact, the health food of the Clementine family is a very unique dish, so it was difficult to complete it properly, and it had to be seen that it would be difficult to see the effect if many elements were omitted from the recipe.

It just ends up being a nutritious food.

Besides, Hutton was well aware that Yuri was far from cooking.

But there was one fact Xerath overlooked.

Once, Yuri came into her kitchen and she got to talk to Hutton.

Today’s Yuri has become so elegant that she has the nickname ‘Flaming Flower’, but at that time, Yuri was a little girl carrying a teddy bear that fits her arms perfectly.

‘Hurton! I want to make one too!’

At the time, Hutton was grilling an extremely ordinary fried egg.

Hutton said, ‘Then, shall we make the fried egg that will go on the table today, Miss Young lady?’ He smiled.

That’s how Yuri started making fried eggs.

I told you how.

It was sloppy, but the fried egg was ready in no time.

Yuri, who was examining Heonai, said that whether it was her shape or baking, she was too different from what Hutton made, and said that she would make it again.

Hutton left her alone.

As a mother of three children, he knew that all children of that age have a strong tendency to solve problems on their own without the help of others.

The sound of tapping an egg was heard again, and Yuri started making fried eggs.

Perhaps because she was young or because she lacked manual dexterity, it was not easy to make fried eggs that were shaped like her Hutton.

In the end, Hutton’s fried eggs were on the table.

Returning from her meal, Yuri was still stuck in her kitchen making her fried eggs.

At that time, Hutton saw Yuri’s, Clementine’s ‘perseverance’.

Yuri’s hand didn’t stop until the day turned into night, and eventually Yuri shouted.

‘Perfect…!’

The girl shouted and smiled brightly.

Just like Hutton’s fried eggs, they managed to create fried eggs that were well-shaped and close to perfection even when cooked.

Even though it was limited to a very simple ‘fried egg’… Hutton was a very skillful cook.

A little girl has caught up to a near-perfect fried egg with just her tenacity.

On that day, Yuri completely threw away the eggs in her family.

Yuri, looking at the egg shells piled up in her kitchen, said to Hutton, putting a short finger to her own lips.

‘Shhh…! Is it a secret from your father?’

At the girl’s whisper, Hutton just laughed dejectedly.

Thanks to this, he had to rush to the market the next morning to buy eggs.

Anyway, the secret was kept and Xerath could not find out.

He just praised Hutton.

How on earth did you play with me so that such an active child can sleep so quietly?

‘Career job is different…?’

While muttering those words.

Hutton lowered his head and closed his eyes at Xerath, who smiled, saying that it was a satisfactory meal as always.

But this time, the ingredients won’t be enough, so wouldn’t it be okay? Wouldn’t it be okay if she couldn’t remember the taste of the health food she ate once?

I hope she doesn’t perfect her food this time.

I hope you don’t hear the news that Clementine’s lady overran the pace.

He was eagerly hoping.

***

Even though Hutton’s wish was overshadowed, such words come out of Yuri’s mouth in the kitchen.

“…Perfect…!”

Yuri exclaimed after taking a bite of the dish she had prepared.

At this level, it was very similar to the health food she had eaten before.

Yuri smiled proudly and then looked around her.

The kitchen was a mess.

It had been a long time since the day had been bright, and Lucia was already asleep on the table, saying she was full and sleepy.

It was time to go to the academy soon.

Yuri, who stayed up all night, was tired, but she was overjoyed at the thought of being able to serve Jetto a ‘decent’ meal.

While tidying up her kitchen, Yuri got into trouble.

It seemed that cooking was somehow resolved.

She still had Lucia’s ‘tasting’ left over, but she intends to ask Lucia as soon as she wakes up.

All that was left was to invite Jetto to the room.

But it didn’t look easy.

It was a problem for her to bring men to the women’s dormitory, but her comments were also a problem.

“…I’m trying to cook for Zeto…”

After shyly speaking to herself, Yuri shook her head.

Since Lucia is sleeping, she thought that no one would hear the words that came out of her mouth, but unfortunately, Lucia was awake.

However, because her stomach was so full, Yuri thought she would feed her, so she pretended to sleep.

‘This… How did this…?’

The friend Yuri wanted to cook for was none other than Jeto.

But surely Jeto had a date with Eisel.

This was a fact that even Yuri knew.

Lucia was very confused, but she decided to pretend to sleep.

***

She was tired, but she was able to get to school on time.

Today’s class was an outdoor class held in the back mountain.

This class, which was called joint combat training, seemed to be a class to prepare for a subjugation war later.

The cadets had to work together with the members to deal a meaningful blow to Edward.

Joe was also randomly composed by Edward.

My group challenged Edward for the first time, and Yuri and I were able to finish the battle fairly quickly.

Well, there’s also the fact that Edward didn’t use illusion magic, which was his specialty.

According to my strategy, Yuri poured fire magic first, blocking Edward’s vision with smoke from the aftermath of the flames.

The rest of the crew also tried to confuse Edward by randomly shooting magic or arrows at Edward, who was still trapped in the smoke.

At that time, I used my senses to figure out Edward’s exact location and cast the first chapter.

Edward, whose protection magic was broken like that, said, ‘It’s not as easy as I thought to avoid the invisible and intangible swordsmanship. Huhuhu…’ He said with a sinister smile.

Sierra judged that she was a gloomy guy, saying that even though she could have avoided Edward, she deliberately responded to the attack.

When I looked at the battles of other groups, Edward naturally allowed attacks as if giving a passing score if he thought he had shown a good combination with his teammates.

So our group was watching the rest of the group’s battle.

“Don’t shoot me!!”

Amon, hit by Lucia’s blast and floating in the air, shouted in great rage.

I don’t know if Edward was taking this opportunity to get rid of her fear, which could be said to be her weakness, or if he was bullying her and making things difficult for his crew, but he was focusing on Lucia.

Eisel, who was in the same group, was trying to somehow aim at Edward, avoiding Lucia’s wind magic.

But is it because it is a personal movement?

Edward did not allow an easy attack.

“It’s not easy to use Lucia. Hmm, hmm.”

Crank, who was eating bread watching them, gave a low evaluation.

Crank was in the same group as me this time.

With nothing to blow at Edward, who was enveloped in his smoke, he threw his own shield.

I don’t know where Crank is from… But he could be called ‘Captain Terrasia’ for that moment.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen Crank properly use his shield, even though we’ve been in the same group twice…’

Since he was also in class A, I wondered how much defense he had as a tanker.

Anyway… Aisel Joe’s battle with individual play is unlikely to end easily.

Edward was pissing them off. Especially Amon.

But Yuri, who had left for a while, hadn’t returned.

I was waiting for her to come back sometime, but she showed no signs of coming back.

‘I was thinking of going to have a meal with you after it’s over…’

She didn’t say a word, so I wondered where she had gone, so I let her feelings go away.

‘…Over there.’

I was able to detect the presence of glass on the other side of the forest.

I was sitting on the tree, got up from my seat and moved her steps towards the glass.

As she gets closer and closer to Yuri, she can hear her voice even if she doesn’t listen to her.

“Jetto… I was wondering if I could cook for you…”

…For some reason, Yuri was looking for me where I wasn’t.

[ Cooking…? ]

Even Sierra, who was next to her, was puzzled by her voice.

Yuri hadn’t come into her field of vision yet.

Finally, Yuri strikes the tree in front of her with her fist.

ㅡ Boom!

“This isn’t it…! Whoa… What can I say?”

Like that or not, Yuri must have been concentrating on her, but she still didn’t notice my presence as I approached her.

From the middle of the forest, Yuri’s voice echoes again.

“Jetto, are you bleeding again? That’s not going to work. I’ll cook for you… Not even this… Huh…”

She didn’t know what the hell she was doing.

ㅡPak!

It wasn’t until I heard the sound of hitting the tree once more that I was able to put Yuri in my field of vision.

Yuri pushed her tree with her left hand as if she were against the wall and stood on her tree.

After a while, her mouth opens again towards ‘Zeto’, which is visible only to her eyes between the wood and the glass.

“Whoa… Jetto, I’ll cook for you. Come to my room in the afternoon.”

Yuri’s quite charismatic… Such comments continued.

ㅡ Woojik.

At that moment, as I approached Yuri, I stepped on a tree branch on the floor. It was because I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t pay attention to the floor.

“…Who are you?”

Soon, along with Yuri’s bloody voice, her head snapped back.

Shortly, I am in her eyes, and her face, which was lively, quickly unravels.

“Ze, Zeto…?!”

“…hahahaha.”

I laughed awkwardly and scratched my head.

“Everyone… Were you listening…?”

With her head down, Yuri’s body trembles.

As I approached Yuri, I replied back in a calm voice.

“I’m looking forward to cooking. Then, can we go to Miss Yuri’s room?”

Soon after my answer, Yuri raised her head and asked in a shy voice.

“…Really?”

[ …Are you a disciple? ]

Sierra also had doubts.

“Sure. See you later.”

I smiled and nodded.

This was the only way out of this embarrassing situation.
