I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 133

133. You've changed a lot since I couldn't see you, Leon (4)

133. You’ve changed a lot since I couldn’t see you, Leon (4)

The man who introduced himself as ‘Zeto’, who covered his eyes with bandages, cut down his Demon tribe, which I was struggling with, very easily.

Thanks to that, it gave me an opportunity to feel how weak I am…

…Doubtful.

I take it for granted that I am a hero.

The guy laughs.

He worries about me, saying that it was dangerous and that he was seriously injured.

Is it an enemy or not?

Before deciding whether it is reliable or not.

ㅡ Tak.

He reached out his hand to lift me up, but I savagely slashed it away. It wasn’t something to do to a life saver.

“…”

However, I felt reluctance.

The energy leaking out of his body was in conflict with me.

I was able to figure out the identity of that energy before it was too late.

“Kerung.”

As I lie down unable to move, a ‘circle’ with dark, fluffy hair approaches me.

ㅡ Lick.

He licks my cheek with his tongue.

I wasn’t able to resist and was putting my cheek to him.

“…Shady, don’t lick the hero.”

Instantly, Jetto lifts him up and places it on his head.

“Kerung.”

Then, as if it were his own seat, he comfortably lays down on Jeto’s head.

‘It’s a spirit, that’s…’

What I could clearly feel was the energy of the spirits.

It is also a dark spirit known to be dealt with by demons.

However, this blind man called ‘Zeto’ in front of me wasn’t even a demon, and ‘Shady’ was also very different from the spirits I was familiar with.

“Kerung…”

Shady, who was on top of Jetto’s head, gave a happy expression and melted away.

He was quite cute.

‘…If it’s that size and the fur is soft, it’d be perfect to sleep in your arms…’

I stopped thinking more.

Because I was embarrassed, I hit the ground for no reason.

In front of an unknown and extremely suspicious man, what kind of useless thoughts could a guy like me be thinking?

Since I became Ray, for some reason, I felt that even my mind was being polluted as a child.

“Once…”

Jetto paused at the end of his words, then raised me up and leaned against the tree behind me.

I didn’t reject his hand this time.

—-Brush.

Soon, Jetto rummaged through his pockets and pulled out a small pouch.

He put his hand in his pocket, which he later pulled out, holding a flask in his hand.

It was a large flask for the size of the pouch. Could it be a ‘subspace pocket’?

“…What is that?”

I asked Jetto, who approached me with a flask.

“This is the ‘elixir’.”

“Elixir…?”

“hahahaha, I got some bottles as gifts.”

Don’t you get an elixir that is so hard to find as a gift, or carry a subspace pouch? The identity of this blind man named Zetor was unclear.

“Excuse me.”

Jetto put his finger on my lips, which I couldn’t move.

Because he was blind, it looked like he was trying to position his mouth accurately.

Instantly, I put the flask in my mouth and tilt it.

The solution in the flask slowly flows down into my mouth.

I didn’t know if his word Elixir was true, but I could tell when the liquid touched my tongue.

This is an elixir.

It tasted the same as the elixir that was poured into the throat of the saintess when she was absent during the past warriors’ party.

ㅡ Knock-knock.

ㅡ Knock-knock.

I emptied all the elixirs at once.

After a while, I could feel my body rejuvenating.

“Eh…”

The elixir was still bitter.

It was a bitter taste that naturally made me stick out my tongue.

How on earth did you drink something like this casually in the past?

“Did you write a lot?”

“…It’s nothing.”

“I just had some candy, so I thought I’d give you this as a treat…”

Jetto took out the candy before he knew it and smiled after holding it in his hand.

“…”

It was the first colored candy.

What kind of sweetness does that have?

My mouth began to salivate.

Jetto tilts his head.

When I came to my senses, I was reaching out my hand to him before I knew it.

Since he is blind, would it be better to talk to him?

“…I didn’t ask for it.”

If you just ate something bitter and asked for candy, your status as a hero was dropping in real time.

“Oh, candy?”

Zeto dares to mention the word candy.

“……Give me.”

I said that, closing my eyes tightly to endure the shame.

It’s not long before candy is placed in my hand.

I immediately put it in my mouth.

‘This taste…!’

It was a candy that harmoniously mixed the taste of ‘chocolate’, a high-end dessert that even small villages on the outskirts couldn’t dream of, and the soft taste of vanilla, which is often used as a spice.

The extreme sweetness opened my eyes.

It’s delicious.

It’s so delicious.

It was such a sweet taste that made me feel better.

‘This guy named Zeto…’

…Maybe he’s a better guy than I thought.

There were no bad guys among the guys who used to carry candy for the little ones. This was the director of the orphanage.

While holding candy, I leaned the back of my head against a tree and asked Jetto questions.

First of all, I needed to hear the story of how this all happened.

Jetto described himself as a prophet.

To be precise, you can look into the future.

He said that a bad future made him arrive here.

I asked about the contents, but dismissed the story, citing a heavenly leak.

At first, it didn’t seem like astrology.

Because he is blind, he will not be able to read the ‘Path of the Stars’.

Is it possible to look into the future through dreams?

A blind prophet was quite unique.

That said…

…In the end, the demons were the problem.

The demons found out where I was, the reincarnated hero. This was very bad.

Jetto asked me if I had any idea how they might have arrived.

There wasn’t much to point out.

I’ve been summoning the Holy Sword often lately.

Summoning the Holy Sword is quite conspicuous.

I checked without even trying.

Whether you can handle the holy sword or not.

It was half annoyance.

At least when I was Leon, I didn’t have to do this. It was because I spent my childhood not realizing that I was summoning a holy sword or being a hero.

What’s more, I don’t know why, but I have memories of my previous life. It may be because of these various reasons that things have become so big.

I frowned at the fact that my complacency had put everyone in the orphanage in danger, and I eagerly melted the candy in my mouth.

I needed sweetness.

Jetto said it would be dangerous to stay here any longer.

The location was definitely discovered, so it wouldn’t be strange if the demons came back anytime.

“… Now maybe it’s good. Ha ha…”

“So I thought I’d make a suggestion to the hero.”

“A suggestion?”

“There is one place where you can be safe.”

“Is there a place where demons can be safe? I don’t know how many demons have crawled into human land…”

Since my death, there has been one war without a demon king or hero, and that’s how it turned out.

Zeto, who had been listening to me, bent his knees to meet him at eye level with me.

I wonder if there’s such a thing as ‘eye level’ with him, but he was looking right at me.

This is thanks to his special ability called ‘Gigam’.

I had met a blind man with good senses who covered his eyes with a bandage even when he was Leon, so it didn’t feel that strange to me.

‘Look with your heart’s eye.’ He was an unusual martial artist who muttered things like that.

Soon, Jeto raised his finger and opened his mouth.

“…You can follow me.”

“Do you have a separate place to follow me?”

“Hero, have you heard of Innocence Academy?”

“Oh, I know.”

Innocence Academy.

It was the continent’s best educational institution, said to have been built by my old colleague, the wizard and wise man of the warrior party, ‘Obert’.

I was thinking about listening to it once when I get older. Right now, I was too young to enter the academy.

The academy created by Oberth, who had a tendency to consider and prepare for all situations with a little fanaticism, seemed like a safe place.

In the first place, when I heard the director’s explanation, I had to see it as a place that taught how to catch demons, so I wouldn’t allow the invasion of demons so easily.

“But what about that? I heard that Innocence Academy tends to be closed-minded. I feel like I’m too young to enter the academy.”

“It’s not that the hero is entering… Actually, I’m a student at Innocence Academy right now.”

“…What?”

“I don’t believe it, but I’m still in my first year.”

I thought I was young, but I couldn’t believe I was a student.

So, does that mean that a kid who must have been only 20 years old at the most defeated the demon with the dark red horns so easily?

A prophet who can look into the future, he is dealing with a high-level dark spirit that even I, who have dealt with countless demons, have never seen before, and possesses high-level swordsmanship skills that can cut even a dark red horned demon with a single sword. La…

And at the young age of twenty.

He even looked like a parasitic brother, and his appearance was not lacking.

The only downside is that he is blind and loses the light of the world.

Even this is inconvenient.

It’s not like he wanted to, so it was difficult to call it a weakness.

I might have to praise him for the bloody effort he must have put into obtaining the ability called ‘Gimgam’.

‘What kind of identity is this?’

As we slowly sorted things out, every single element that made up him was a mysterious man.

“…Okay, I understand. I know you’re a cadet, but… So you’re saying that if I follow you, I’ll be able to set foot in the academy?”

“It would have to be related, but for now.”

“Are you involved?”

“You must have a relationship with me, a cadet, so you can stay at the academy. Well, leave the persuasion of the higher up to me… The hero just needs to act.”

“…Smoke?”

“Easy acting. Maybe…?”

Jetto smiles.

For some reason, his smile might have felt a bit sinister.

***

The warm sunlight of the morning was casting in the forest before I knew it.

Convincing the hero, Ray, was easier than expected.

Is it because the memories of living as a warrior remain? She readily accepted her unusual remarks.

Maybe it’s because I’ve met a lot of unusual people in my life that aren’t normal.

After convincing Ray, I took care of the orphanage right away.

Although the location of her orphanage where Ray stayed was not known to her demons, she explained that it was so to her, so she had to follow suit.

Even if that wasn’t the case, I had to talk to the director of the orphanage in order to take Ray away.

There is no need to run away at night.

This is the place where Rei has been indebted for several years.

It was clear that she had become attached to her in her own way.

I held out the Knight’s badge to make it easier for the director to explain.

Since she seemed to have enough divine power, it was said that she would take her to the Holy Kingdom and raise her as a paladin.

The director, who woke up early in the morning, was terribly embarrassed, but it had to be seen as some sort of promising scout.

She readily agreed, saying that she did not want to block Ray’s path.

She only expressed a small doubt as to whether there were only women in the Saint’s Silver Wing Knights.

After talking about Ray’s whereabouts, he said that it would be a good idea to relocate the orphanage as the demons have been in trouble recently.

He covered all the expenses of moving to the orphanage.

There was not much of a problem because there was a lot of money collected from the gambling house while saving the Elemental Sorcerer ‘Magredo’.

I handed over a money bag full of money and told them to spend the remaining money on the children in the orphanage.

The director thanked me greatly and said that she would take good care of Ray.

After that, she gave Ray a farewell time.

The director gave Ray a hug and burst into tears.

I got out of the orphanage and was using Shady’s power to dispose of the corpses of the demons that Ray had killed.

‘I almost beat the madam.’

An ‘actor’ who thought he could easily create a crisis had a hard time.

Aside from that, I didn’t know that the rest of the demons would be handled neatly.

If there were any guys I couldn’t deal with, I tried to step forward, but the warrior was a warrior in the end.

The creeping shadows swallow the corpses of demons scattered all over the forest in a gruesome manner.

“I’m tired. I’m tired.”

Maybe it’s because he’s not human, but Shady reacted with disdain.

‘I’m sick of it… I guess I fed too much then.’

Couldn’t it be that he ate demons even before he was subordinated to me…?

If the previous owner had existed, he would have been a demon, but it is not uncommon for a demon to kill a demon.

ㅡ Basrak.

Soon, Ray, who has been sensing through the senses, arrives.

A small girl came out of the grass and came to me, having finished her dressing up for a long journey.

Sierra, who found her, looked at me blankly and expressed her doubts. That question has been a question that has not stopped ever since I met Ray.

[That young girl is a hero… I still can’t believe she was the first woman. Wasn’t the hero Leon originally male? Could she have misunderstood the original woman? ]

…I got it right.

Sierra went on to wonder what it would be like, and how it would feel, if a man turned into a woman.

‘Well…’

At least, it’s a question that makes me feel like it would be better not to ask myself at all.

I also deliberately avoided commenting on this.

Ray, who was wearing a robe, approached me and watched the shadow devour her corpse with nonchalant eyes.

Soon after, her small lips opened.

“Jetto, let’s go now. Is the clean up still?”

But there was a problem.

“Hero, you seem to have forgotten ‘acting’…”

As this was an important part going forward, the point continued.

“…”

Ray closed her mouth.

She couldn’t help it.

I am not doing this because I want to.

Her performance was necessary for the ‘setup’ I concocted, the relationality for her to step into her academy.

And that seemed like something I needed to practice in advance from now on.

Because Ray didn’t seem to be able to act as easily as the artificial intelligence ‘Zepetti’.

In the end, Ray’s flinching mouth opens completely.

“Come to Zeto… Ugh…”

“You’re doing great. Let’s try harder.”

“…Brother Zeto, are you done cleaning up?”

“Sure.”

I smiled and naturally acted as ‘oppa’. Fortunately, the corpses of the demons were completely cleaned up just in time.

I gave her a small round of applause for her efforts and took out her candy. Her efforts deserve a reward.

“Four……”

Taking out her candy and before she could say anything, Ray jumped up to me and snatched the candy from her hand and put it into her mouth.

“…”

Within seconds, Ray, who had her candy, let out a satisfied smile.

‘Well… You look happy, okay?’

Sierra’s eyes widen as she looks at Ray, a warrior who becomes happy with just one candy.

Looking at it, it seems confusing.

‘Anyway, the job was done well…’

    Woah! Ray is cute! I’d like it if she became a heroine in the future ( ten years later ).
    Now we know that Shady is fed up from eating demons. The possibility of him being the spirit of the nameless demon who tried to become king, aka one of Jeto’s suposed past lives is high.

    Atleast this is better than the situation in RWBY

    This is…awkward to say the least.
