I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 138

138. A thrilling reunion

Sage Obert, who was disguised as Hubert Graham, the chairman of Innocence Academy, was very embarrassed.

“I am Zeto’s younger brother…!”

She was now able to guess the identity of the blonde girl in front of her who claimed to be Jeto’s sister.

The color of the girl’s hair and eyes that he could never forget.

It was very similar to that of his former colleague, the hero Leon.

I didn’t feel any energy in the girl’s body that could have been assumed to be a hero, but there was a reason she looked like her hero.

It is because of the ‘Holy Sword’ that was observed in the sky above Innocence Academy from last night.

Obert was looking for a way to find the hero in his own way. One of them was a ‘telescope’ that could observe the holy sword waiting for the warrior’s call, located in the sky so high that it was difficult to see with the naked eye.

The holy sword was a rather unusual weapon.

It’s easy to call it a star, but it wasn’t in space like a real star.

I couldn’t look at the sky all over the continent, so I had to come at least near the academy to notice it, but when I looked at the current situation, I had to see that this alone was helpful enough.

It felt like I had just met the ‘Hero’, the owner of the holy sword. But nothing has been confirmed yet.

There were many possibilities.

It was quite coincidental that Leon’s hair color and eye color were exactly the same, and according to Jeto’s explanation, it could have been a girl from the same orphanage.

However, it is true that this case seems unlikely at this point in time when the Holy Sword was observed.

It was necessary to figure out how much was true and how much was false.

At that time, the voice of Itea, who was disguised as a secretary next to Aubert, resonated in her head.

This was a telephonic magic that was often used when meeting Jeto, who had excellent senses and could easily understand whispers.

[ Chairman, that kid named Jepety. Something is weird ]

[ Strange…? ]

[ I don’t know exactly. It feels like ‘me’…]

To say that a golem is similar to Thea must have sounded absurd, but Oberth pondered it, knowing full well that it was not Thea who would suddenly start talking nonsense.

On the other hand, a girl who has a similar nature to ‘Itea’ and is somewhat different from a human.

A girl with visuals that reminds me of Leon in many ways.

What if the two girls that Jeto brings along as her little sisters are both ‘fake sisters’?

I don’t know why Jeto made that choice, but for some reason he had no choice but to make that choice.

Obert, listening to Itea, came up with a hypothesis.

“…So you want to bring her sisters here to live?”

Obert listened to Jetto’s long explanation and asked a question.

“Yes, I think that there is no place as safe as the academy anyway. I did not want to give up going to school just because of that, so I made this request.”

“Hmm…”

Obert was troubled.

Getting Zeto’s ‘sisters’ into the academy isn’t much of a problem.

To make matters worse, his hypothesis is correct, so it doesn’t matter too much if they are ‘fake sisters’.

Anyway, even from Oberth’s point of view, being a hero felt comfortable being inside the safe fence of the ‘Academy’. It was also an academy built for that purpose.

However, the final piece to confirm this hypothesis was lacking.

“I don’t want to be separated from Brother Zeto…”

Is this girl holding Jeto in front of him really a hero?

If the hero is right, he was worried about whether he had memories of his previous life or not.

Even if Zeto brought the reincarnated hero to the academy, how did he bring it?

Did the accidentally reincarnated hero live in the same orphanage?

There was a possibility, but there was a questionable part.

This kid named Lay.

Something seemed clumsy to Oberthe.

It was too much.

She sure looks like her little sister… But it feels like she’s insisting on ‘I’m your little sister’.

Especially, it was hard to think of those calculating eyes that could be seen from time to time that could come from a young girl.

It was Ray’s desperate performance to avoid suspicion, but to become that part, he bought Oberth’s suspicion.

‘Then, when Layla said that this child had Leon’s memories…’

…Thinking that way made it even weirder.

‘That ‘Leon’ pretends to be her younger sister, calling Jeto ‘brother’, who is hundreds of years younger than himself…?’

Even wearing a ‘skirt’ fluttering with pretty lace.

It was hard to think that Leon, who was a stalwart man even if he didn’t notice, could do something.

Obert, who was thinking about that, decided to throw a ‘bait’.

Anyway, it was to find out if Ray, the child who seems to be the most likely to be the hero, has memories of her previous life.

“”……””

Inside the office where silence flowed.

Obert, who was knocking on the desk and pretending to be in trouble, transmits a telephony to Ray, who is hugging Jetto.

[ You’ve changed a lot since I couldn’t see you, Leon. ]

It could have been a bit out of the blue.

It was a difficult word to say in the current state where nothing has been confirmed.

But if she’s a girl who knows nothing.

She is a hero who has reincarnated but has no memory of her previous life.

She should have reacted in surprise to hear her whole tone, which at least rang in her own head.

A man’s voice suddenly rang in her head.

But now, Ray…

“…”

…Not surprised.

She was staring at Obert, who was in the form of Hubert.

The current communication magic, that is to say, the transmitted sound, was sent by Oberth without any alteration applied to his voice.

So it means that it was Oberth’s original voice. If it was Leon, it would have been an unforgettable voice.

She abruptly stops holding her mother’s arms.

‘Obert…?’

Ray was confused.

She was the one who remembered and honored Aubert just before she entered the director’s office.

The legacy of her colleague she will never meet again.

She swallowed bitterness as she looked at the pictures of her colleagues, full of memories.

However, I heard the voice of Oberth, who should have died sooner or later.

Ray was able to recognize her at once.

That the guy who telegraphed him was that guy sitting at his desk and smiling.

Obviously it wasn’t Oberth’s face, but it was Obert.

That mean smile.

That confident yet arrogant expression that his hypothesis was correct, that everything was going according to plan.

It was Oberth’s smile that Ray had seen countless times in the past when he was the hero Leon.

Obert was still alive?

It was shocking.

But that wasn’t important right now.

‘…Why is Oberth still alive? Rather, did I act as a ‘little sister’ in front of Oberth? Then you saw me wearing a skirt. No, I’m still watching…’

Ray’s head went blank in an instant.

Instinctively, she entered her chairperson’s office and reviewed the actions she had taken.

Soon, something in Ray’s mind is shattered.

Pride.

His pride as a warrior, his pride as a Leon, collapses.

Obert watched this.

“Pu-sup…”

She burst into laughter.

At this, everyone in the director’s office except for Ray and Obert tilted their heads and expressed their doubts.

It was a strange behavior.

However, even though Oberthe was well aware of this, it was hard to hold back her laughter.

She appeared while ‘pretending to be the younger sister’ of a young man when her colleague, whom she had met for the first time in hundreds of years, became a woman.

It was something he could not have imagined.

Yes, it is quite possible for a person to change gender during reincarnation.

It’s not like the hero’s gender was set to be male.

But how dare that ‘Leon’.

Wearing pretty and cute clothes.

‘I’m Zeto’s younger brother…!’

She said that.

Just as Ray was reviewing her own actions, Aubert was also reviewing her previous actions, and her laughter broke out.

Ray, who lost the light in his eyes at Oberth’s ridicule, looked at him blankly.

‘It’ was no longer a hero.

He was shooting a direct hit at Oberth with a colossal killing spree that could be called the Demon King.

Sensing this, Oberth coughs and quickly clears the situation.

“Kuhmm, I’m sorry. A funny thought crossed my mind… Anyway, I think I can stay at the academy. Cadet Zetto is excellent… And circumstances are pitiful…”

Aubert, who continued to say that, almost burst into laughter at her once again, but she catches her breath.

“Whoa… I understand that… Those… Younger sisters… Don’t want to be separated from their older brother. I can’t let them go through such a pity again. I’ll give it to them.”

“…Thank you.”

Jetto was suspicious of Chairman Hubert’s bizarre reaction, but still thought things were going well.

“Anyway, since the number of people in the family has increased, I’ll send the necessary furniture separately. I’ll take care of the troublesome procedures quickly within today.”

“Oh, really? Thanks!”

Zepetti covered his mouth pretending to be surprised by Oberth’s kindness and expressed his gratitude.

In response, Jeto patted Ray’s small back, who was next to him.

“Should I express my gratitude to Chairman Leido?”

“…”

Ray hesitated.

‘Obert…’

Ray, who was staring at the grinning Aubert, finally made a big decision and opened her mouth.

“Thank you…”

“Heh heh, he’s so cute. How about some candy?”

“…It’s okay.”

Ray bites his teeth and shows off her bloody smile.

Since I couldn’t see Lay’s face at the time of my toe, she looked at her saying she wouldn’t eat her candy for some reason and listened to my Petty saying that she shouldn’t take and eat what her husband gave her. I was just thinking.

Obert ends his story and sends Getto away.

Finally, he sent a message to Ray, who was leaving the office of the chairman.

[ Let’s meet for a while after class starts, Leon… I’m looking forward to seeing you again in hundreds of years. ]

There were a lot of things to talk about and talk about.

“…”

Leaving the room, Ray turned his head back and saw Oberth, who was in Hubert’s form.

Obert was just having fun.

I was thinking of making fun of the colleague who was reunited after hundreds of years.

***

“Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve been outside in this form.”

Obert looks up at the clear sky.

He was spending some time in the forest to meet his old colleague, the hero Leon, and he took the form of the wise man Oberth.

He seldom went out in this form. At least for a few decades.

Thea, who was waiting for Ray by Aubert’s side, hints at him with her question.

“Why does the hero have memories of his previous life?”

“Well… You’ll have to ask yourself. Maybe you don’t even know.”

“If he was reincarnated as ‘Ray’ with his memories from the beginning… That would be shocking.”

“hahahahaha! Thanks to that, the reunion after hundreds of years has become more enjoyable… Isn’t that a good thing?”

“I wonder why you invited me to such an important ‘reunion’… I wonder if I’ll get in the way.”

At Thea’s question, Aubert glanced at her and continued her words with an tone as if asking what she was talking about.

“Of course you should be by my side. Shouldn’t you be protecting the owner from dying?”

“Do you keep it…?”

“They will come to kill me. A warrior.”

“…What the hell are you doing, master…”

Itea’s eyebrows twitch at the bad feeling.

“I was just happy to tease you ‘a little’.”

At Oberth’s nonchalant voice, Itea said, ‘Is it really just a little teasing?’ She wondered.

Yes or no.

Obert manages to find a small-sized Ray striding here from the other side.

“Leon! Here he is!”

Aubert smiled happily and waved his hand.

“…”

Ray, with his mouth shut, approaches Oberthe.

Then she spills Itea.

It was such a look that made me feel like what he was.

“This is Iteara, the golem I made. You don’t have to worry too much about it.”

Ray nodded lightly at Oberth’s explanation.

A golem that looks like a human.

Because there was a similar guy around her.

In time, Ray’s small lips, which had been tightly closed, opened.

“…Obert, you are very old.”

“Doesn’t this make you look younger? hahahaha!”

Even though ancient magic prevented aging, Obert became a gray-haired old man because he couldn’t reverse the aging process.

Nevertheless, considering the hundreds of years he has spent so far, it had to be seen as ‘while’.

“Yes, I must have lived a long time.”

Ray affirmed.

However, what she said after that was unusual.

“But I lived too long.”

“hahahaha… What do you mean, Leon?”

“Don’t call me Leon. I’m… Ray.”

Ray steps his feet slowly, and Aubert steps back.

Aubert looked at Itéa, but Itéa closed her eyes and shook her head.

Casual retribution.

Aubert, who noticed the ‘betrayal’ of Thea, who he trusted, begins to stutter her words.

“Le, Leon… No, Ray… It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other, so… Could it be tainted by violence?”

“…I thought I was going to die.”

Ray with a creepy face lightly ignored Aubert and continued his words as he approached him.

“Shame, shame, pride and dignity as a warrior collapsed. But… After thinking about it, I wonder if I need to die. Have you ever heard of such a thing, Oberth?”

“What are you talking about?”

“If you kill all the targets or witnesses, it is an assassination in the end.”

“Yeah, that’s right. You don’t know who the assassin is…”

“I thought the same was true. No matter what, I have to live as ‘Ray’ from now on. So…”

Lay, who was speechless, sat on her waist in a dainty way. She did, but the words that came out of her mouth could never be called cute.

“I, Hero Ray, will kill everyone who knows ‘Hero Leon’. Then I can be happy. I can live comfortably as ‘Ray’.”

“Wait a minute, Leon… I have various ‘restrictions’ right now, so if I get it wrong, I’ll really die…?”

Oberth, who was cornered by a tree while she was walking backwards, spread his palms to calm Ray.

“Aubert, have you ever seen Leon break her promise?”

“Oh, isn’t there…? Leon always kept his promises, right?!”

Obert recklessly spit out praise.

“Then you should hope that the Ray in front of you may not keep his promise.”

“hahahaha…”

Leaving behind Aubert’s silly laugh, Ray lifted her hand up.

Then her childish voice echoes softly in the forest.

“…Durandal, answer my call.”

“The holy sword… hahahaha, the holy sword…”

Obert urgently deploys the barrier.

“I haven’t handled it properly yet… But I hope I can handle it this time.”

Ray grins.

It was a smile so bright that her teeth were clearly visible.

An old man with long gray hair and a slender little girl.

The lengthy duel between the two risking their lives now begins.

That day, a strange rumor spreads at the academy.

Unbelievably strange rumors that meteors were seen falling in broad daylight.
