I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 118

118. mistake

Before long, the thieves and Innocence Academy first-year students collide.

The sound of metal interlocking and the sound of magic flying could be heard from everywhere.

The band of bandits was large enough to raid a wagon train.

However, it’s just a pity that there wasn’t a single one among the many thieves who recognized the academy’s uniform.

A fierce rush with no strategy whatsoever.

The cadets were indifferently receiving the fierce waves of bandits.

The difference in level was extreme.

It was a simple story.

The Innocence Academy, where talented young people gather on the continent, is highly competitive. Each of the cadets had to be regarded as belonging to the superhuman level compared to ordinary people.

So even if there are a lot of them, they’re just ‘a band of bandits’, so they’re no match for them.

ㅡSuddenly.

“…sleep.”

I murmured that for no reason as I decapitated the thief who was running in front of me.

[Disciple, if you’re going to say something like that, show a little bit of sincerity in your acting…]

Sierra, who was watching me from the air, was speechless.

There were some real sleepovers, but it was so tricky to hold a sword and capture alive in such a large-scale battle, so I was just cutting through the guys in front of me.

The reason Edward asked to be captured was to avoid forcing the cadets to commit murder.

Rather, it was Edward’s style not to spare the wicked.

There is an experience penalty due to the level difference, so even if you kill a lot, you don’t get a lot of experience, and more than anything…

“…chain.”

On the other side, you can see Yuri, who is restraining the thief with a chain, her red hair flying.

For some, it could be the first real battle with humans without any protective equipment, so it was also an important part of the experience.

ㅡQuaang!!!

Then, I heard a roar from the front and turned my head to see a bunch of thieves floating in the air.

ㅡPajijijik!!!

Lightning strikes right away.

“You cast the wrong spell, Instructor.”

Eisel looked at Edward and said in a nonchalant voice.

Edward, who was roaming around the middle of the battlefield at high speed and helping the cadets who were about to be hit by a dangerous attack, turned his head to look at Eisel and grinned.

“Cadet Eisel is a mistake… He must be in poor condition.”

“Yeah, what…”

Eisel, who had been responding slyly to Edward’s sly words, met my eyes.

Ah, to be more precise, rather than looking into each other’s eyes, it seems that each other’s heads were turned toward each other.

“”……””

“You said you’d prefer to be captured alive…”

Yuri, who was on the other side, watched this and muttered softly.

“…It’s a mistake.”

Eisel said that and turned her head.

Soon Sierra clicked her tongue and muttered what she was doing in a life-or-death battle.

…not wrong. Anyway, the cadets were dealing with the thieves in their own way.

Suddenly, a tall, muscular woman stood out among the crowd of thieves, pointing at me and shouting.

“The guy with bandages over his eyes is mine, so don’t touch it!!”

…I don’t know why, but it looks like I’ve been targeted by the guy who looks like the boss.

“A handsome blind man… I’ll make sure to make you my toy!

It was the moment when the headman said such a thing and rushed at me with a mean laugh, when Eisel’s head snapped back in the back.

Flames spewed out from under the feet of the rushing boss, and huge flames surged violently.

“

Soon, the whole body of the leader is on fire and screams.

This… was Yuri Clementine’s main weapon, the ‘Pillar of Fire’.

The screams of the leader of the bandits struggling are heard in the forest. I heard that burning alive is a very painful thing.

Yuri’s eyes, which were staring at the pillar of fire with her index finger raised, seemed to be blazing with fire.

In the end, the huge pillar of fire that soared between the enemies calmed down with a chirping sound only after the leader was burned to the point where only bone powder remained.

The thieves were shocked as they looked at the leader who had been turned into powder.

The thieves, who were shaking their hands, gradually began to drop their weapons. The morale of the thieves was broken in an instant in front of the overwhelming power.

“…”

Yuri looked at me without saying a word.

Her eyes were completely capturing me without any shaking.

I don’t know what he was thinking as he looked at me, but he didn’t seem shocked or emotional about killing a person for the first time.

Soon after, Eisel approaches Yuri and talks to her.

“Is ‘that’ a mistake?”

“…Yes, I made a mistake.”

Yuri looked the other way as if he couldn’t win and shrugged.

‘Anyway, the power was considerable…’

Yuri’s exclusive weapon, her ancestor’s arm guard obtained from the arsenal, and even the Red Dragon’s orb.

Although she may not have found a proper way to use the orb yet, she had no doubt that she would be able to quickly handle the orb’s power.

‘There may be side effects, but…’

A red dragon is one that is closely related to ‘anger’ among dragons.

Still, it wasn’t bad growth.

Among the characters from the family of the 4 elements, Yuri had a unique potential.

Now, it would be perfect if only the inner growth was added, but I think the opportunity is still lacking.

The thieves, who lost the central point of being the ‘head’, quickly collapsed in their organizational power.

By the time the battle is over.

I looked around slowly.

A rough rule of thumb seemed to have succeeded in half dying and half alive.

Surprisingly, it was Amon who captured the most bandits. The Earth Prison, which entangled the opponent’s body with a lump of earth, was able to arrest the movements of multiple enemies at once.

I won’t bother mentioning who killed the most. Her face was still stiff, but her anger seemed to have not subsided.

The instructors were responsible for disposing of the bodies of the thieves and handing them over to the nearby city guards.

Instructor Reina, who was very annoyed as if she had played rock-paper-scissors again, got on her horse and immediately left to call the guards.

The cadets, who had been waiting in the forest for a while, lit bonfires all over the place and sat around them, chatting about their exploits.

Lucia, who looked at it for a moment, was still asleep in the carriage. It must have been quite noisy, but she was sleeping soundly without tossing and turning.

In many ways, Lucia seemed better not to wake her up. If she had seen the sight of blood splattering and people burning alive, she might have fainted.

I was sitting around the campfire, feeding Shady, sorting out what was about to happen.

‘The first event went well…’

While in the desert, various things would happen, but the only thing I was looking forward to was the ancient ruins.

I guess I’ll come over tonight…

‘…Would it be possible to enter?’

It was a place that was not implemented in the game, so it was not strange no matter what happened.

It seems like a good idea to be fully prepared.

***

“And… the alien species we’re going to slay are very dangerous…!”

Lucia said with clear eyes.

It was a story about an alien species that only appears in the desert.

Our destination is Delgrade, a beautiful city spread out around a huge oasis in the desert. It was also Lucia’s ‘home’.

The city was governed by the Windris family of Lucia.

Outside the window, countless golden sands and deserts were spread out. The wagons in which the cadets rode were now crossing the desert.

Lucia continued her story in an excited voice, as if she had many things she wanted to tell us who had never been to the desert before.

“The alien species appear through the portal of the other world called the gate. Basically, they have a strong tendency to harm people. They are very bad guys…! But don’t worry. Because there are strong warriors who fight only servants!”

“Ohh… what do those alien species look like? Are there any monsters that look similar?”

Amon, who was sitting next to Lucia, asked a question.

Even though they are from the same family of four elements, they must have never had a meeting in the desert, and neither Yuri nor Amond have ever been to the desert.

“Ummm…”

Lucia salivated at Amon’s question.

It was a very difficult question.

Lucia, who had been wriggling her lips, finally opened her mouth.

“That’s why scrap metal is stuck here and there… It’s such a ‘machine’… Uhm… It makes a rumbling sound…”

“…Are the monsters right?”

Yuri questioned Lucia’s bizarre explanation.

It was not so easy to explain robots and mechanics in a fantasy world.

‘Did you mean the sound of the engine by rumbling?’

Eisel, who was looking out the window, rescued Lucia from such an embarrassing situation, unable to continue her explanation.

“Hey, I see you’re talking about that.”

Everyone’s eyes are directed to one of the windows in the carriage at Eisel’s words, which he spoke in a sullen voice as he pointed out the window.

But it was strange for me to look out the window, so I sat still.

“…to be a monster…”

“…it looks very strange.”

Those who were looking at the Lee Gye-jong threw out a word at a time.

“Well, but… I think he’s running toward our wagon…?!”

“It seems so.”

Eisel answered indifferently to Lucia’s frightened voice.

Lucia tapped on the wall on the side of the coachman, asking if she should stop the carriage quickly.

“Please stop… uhh…”

Lucia, who was repeatedly knocking on the wall, was crying.

It didn’t seem necessary.

In a sense, there was a sign of someone approaching at high speed across the desert in the direction of the alien species.

The coachman, who was able to take a closer look outside, seemed to be aware of the situation.

Immediately, from the window on the other side of the other side where the alien bell was, something flew into the air, raising sand and rushing toward our wagon.

ㅡ kung.

Then something steps on the carriage and the carriage shakes slightly.

Everyone in the carriage turned their eyes to the ceiling of the carriage, then to the direction where the alien species was looking.

A huge and wide greatsword was visible on her back, which was wrapped in a robe.

“This, Mr. Ishmir…?”

Lucia, recognizing her, exclaimed.

One of the warriors that specializes in hunting other species that Lucia just described, and an experienced warrior who will teach the cadets how to hunt other species on this field trip.

‘long time no see.’

She was one of the main characters in this episode.

and…

[Ishmir…? ]

Sierra, who was hanging over my shoulder, is surprised to hear her name.

…was Sierra’s old friend.
