I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 163

163. there must be a reason

After many twists and turns, the contract was successfully concluded and Jeto and Yuri returned to the academy.

“Benora…”

It’s a name I’ve never heard of.

…It was vulgar, but I might have to admit its power.

What worried me more than that was… Jetto.

Perhaps the first time I saw him handle the urethra.

“It’s a reverse hand… It’s not common.”

Was it simply influenced by his teacher, Sierra?

It’s hard to know in detail, but thanks to that, there was one person I missed for a long time.

It was a long time ago, a memory far away from now.

Even if his other memories were uncertain, his end was still vividly pictured in his mind.

Even now, if I close my eyes…

‘…just go back.’

His low, grave voice is heard.

The long-haired man who was staring at me with cool eyes had horns on his head.

Asmodian.

Of course, they were not ordinary demons.

His horns sprouting out in strange places were proving this.

With a lot of scratches on my body, I stopped him.

‘My lord, at this rate…’

‘okay. The end is in sight.’

His eyes filled with futility as he looked at the enemies charging at him, raising dust from afar.

failure.

I couldn’t finish it.

…I couldn’t cut it off.

A lot of emotions must have passed by.

‘I will stand by my lord’s side until the end.’

Despite his words to step back, I knelt down with my fists on the ground and bowed my head.

‘What can you, a mere sub-ryong, do?’

‘My lord…!’

‘Go back. survive be more greedy covet life From now on, the most precious value to you will be your life. If you continue your life like that…’

He smiled.

‘…Maybe the day we meet again will come.’

After that, he pushed me away.

I got up again and tried to approach him, but…

‘Alzrakrot, this is the last command I give you. Survive, by all means.’

He recites my true name and gives orders.

I couldn’t get any closer to him.

Then he raised his hand towards the invading army, and soon the whole area was completely immersed in the ‘shadow’.

He left me alone and walked forward slowly.

‘Sorry. I’m sorry.’

Holding the sword in reverse, he personally greeted them.

‘Next to the saint is the demon… Is it a joke of fate? That’s not even funny. I’m getting tired of this too.’

There was no fear in that step.

‘Heneris, won’t you give me rest now?’

The demons who looked up at the sky and looked for Heneris, who had given it to them, had a rest that day.

The memories drawn in my head gradually fade.

“…”

I was a little dizzy, so I rubbed my forehead and drank the alcohol that was on the table.

“It looks like it.”

Handling spirits, holding a sword in reverse.

‘Well, the lord wasn’t blind, but…’

Are the overlapping characteristics of Jeto and Master all just a coincidence?

Since then I have survived.

I haven’t served anyone since.

Following the master’s last command, he greedily survived and persisted.

Like this, the power of true name is terrifying.

In that sense…

“…was a crazy b*tch.”

How can you tell your true name so easily?

It was a choice that didn’t feel any pride as a dragon.

‘What the hell does it have to do with you that Miss Yuri is taking her husband?’

‘Yeah… It’s romantic, isn’t it? Mating with a blind man… It’s as expected as aerial mating.’

shook his head vigorously.

Beno’s nonsense still lingered in his ears.

I feel like my ears are dirty.

“Tsk, I guess I’ll have to invite an orchestra at least once. If possible, so that residents can listen comfortably… Maybe around the time of the pilgrimage performance by an anonymous donor.”

In any case, living as an ordinary village chief was not so easy.

***

The dragon’s power was great.

To that extent, the pillar of fire of glass boasted enormous and mighty power.

…For some reason, the shape was quite strange, but I couldn’t pretend to see it.

It almost went wrong thanks to the goblin who luckily survived, but I thought I handled it well.

Still, the awkward atmosphere was unavoidable.

On the way back to the academy, Yuri didn’t even want to look at me with her face blushing.

It was all about arguing with Orb.

‘Did they say Benora?’

The name of the red dragon that was said to have been sealed by the warrior party.

I don’t know about Yuri, but in my family there was a hero who could be called the culprit.

I was able to safely return to the dormitory in the middle of the night, and Ray was sleeping soundly on the bed holding a doll, so I went up to the roof and talked to Zeppetti for a while.

“Are you referring to the data of this world?”

“…Isn’t it? Information that is not easily known, such as… this guy’s true name?”

I lifted Shady from my feet.

“Kerung.”

The guy licks my face.

This time, after meeting Daedroth, I had a question.

The eye patch that pierces reason is said to be a ‘crown’ and has several functions.

I wondered if there was a reason why I found out the true names of Daedroth and Shady among those features, so I asked this question.

I had to see that my hypothesis, which I thought was related to the word ichi attached to the eyepatch, had collapsed to some extent.

“…”

Zeppetti looks at me with a nonchalant expression as I wipe my face to see if Shady’s saliva is on it.

Soon, her lips open.

“…There is no such function that I know of. If the ‘Crown’ contained all the data in this world, it would have to know the name or information of everyone it sees for the first time. The Crown is focused on adaptation, It would be difficult to see that the true name of the spirit is related to adaptation.”

“Hmm…”

Then why did I know this guy’s true name?

I looked at the Shady in my hand, who had grown plump before I knew it, but I couldn’t figure out why.

“It’s difficult.”

So far, my sense of humor has been enough to help me notice people and things I already know information about without looking at them.

But that doesn’t mean I knew the true names of Daedroth and Shady.

Even though he already knew Daedroth, he didn’t know his true name.

Shady hadn’t seen it at that time.

“Is it an error?”

“Error… Before that, I think we need to find out whether a transcendent being like a god can make an error or not.”

“There’s no way to know that. …Come to think of it, Zeppetti didn’t have any errors?”

“Me?”

At my question, Zeppetti tilted his head.

“You said you can learn emotions. But didn’t Zeppetti say that emotions tend to create unnecessary errors?

“That, that’s…”

Zeppetti hesitates.

Is it embarrassing because errors are ‘defects’ in machines?

I don’t know when I learned the feeling of being ashamed.

“It’s okay to say it comfortably. It’s not really an error for humans, and it’s rather a natural axis.”

“I am not human.”

“I think Zeppetti can become human enough. Even though he hides a blade in his arm… It’s a fantasy anyway, right? Is there anything impossible?”

“So far… no errors whatsoever.”

“Really? Should I say it’s fortunate… Anyway, are you learning how to feel?”

“I’m learning quite a lot of emotions. Recently I’ve been learning fear.”

…horror.

I think I know where you learned it.

‘What was your name…? Kundral…?’

Certainly, the demon who was being analyzed by Zepetty must have displayed enough fear for her to learn.

“Anyway… I think so. Zepetty could be human. In fact, he already looks human now.”

“…yes.”

Zeppetti answered in a small voice.

“So you can act like a little sister when you’re alone like now. Oh, as long as you’re comfortable with Zepetty.”

“There’s no such thing as a comfortable side, but I wonder if it’s a nuisance to Zeto-sama…”

“I’m fine. I don’t know why, but I feel like I’ve grown to take care of people. I’m too strict right now. It’s like I’m keeping my distance.”

“…All right.”

“I don’t think such an answer is like a sister.”

“Kerung.”

Look, so does Shady.

“…I understand, brother.”

At my instigation, Zeppetti nodded lightly and answered in a rather cautious voice.

“Now you’re like a little sister.”

I stroked Zeppetti’s head.

“…”

Zeppetti stood still and felt my touch.

Soon after, Zeppetti smiled quietly.

The smile was so natural that you could tell at once that it wasn’t acting.

Is the feeling she is feeling right now something like ‘comfort’?

‘I should teach them to learn more proper positive emotions than fear…’

I reciprocated with a bitter smile at her smile and blamed myself for some reason.

***

Ray woke up right before I went to the academy, when the sunlight was filtering through the windows.

Before leaving the room, I asked Ray, who was wearing pajamas who woke up and wiped his spittle with his messy hair.

When was the last time you sealed a red dragon?

I was simply curious.

What kind of dragon was ‘Beno’?

From noble mtl dot com.

One day, when Yuri talks about her worries, it might be a clue to solve them.

“Haa…? Red dragon?”

At my question, Ray suddenly frowned as if what he was talking about.

“They say it seems to have been sealed by a party of warriors in the past. Don’t you remember?”

“Ummm…”

As soon as he woke up, Ray recalled old memories.

Ever since then, she muttered ‘Red Dragon…’ and scratched her head, but she immediately thought of something.

“uh…”

I let out a single word.

“Did you remember?”

“No, it doesn’t come to mind at all.”

“Hmm?”

It was strange.

Obviously, Beno, that is, the orb of the red dragon, was obtained from the sage’s labyrinth… and if it was a being capable of sealing a dragon, only the warrior party came to mind.

“…No matter how much I think about it, I don’t have any memories of sealing a dragon. No, no… I don’t know how to seal things in the first place.”

“is that so?”

“Yeah, if it’s Oberth, let me know.”

“Are you talking about the wise man?”

“Yes, Sage… no, call him Great Sage.”

“The Great Sage…?”

“Sigh…”

At my chanting, Ray snorted while holding back a laugh. I don’t think it’s particularly funny.

[Anyway, that’s strange. Was it sealed by someone other than the warrior party? ]

Sierra, who was curious about Beno, spits out a word about it.

It certainly didn’t seem like the Dedros was wrong.

“……”

Ray, who had been suppressing laughter like that, suddenly became quiet, and then she asked me.

“…Wait, did you say red dragon?”

“Yes. Red dragon.”

“I’ve never sealed it, but I’ve seen it. Yes, he… was a red dragon…”

“What kind of dragon was it?”

“Hmm… There’s no such thing as a dragon. It’s already dead. Lying in a strange position? Like this… It feels like this…”

“……”

Lay lay down on the bed without talking and showed a rather shameful posture.

“Ah, really… I don’t think this will explain it well to my brother.”

“No. Well, that’s understandable enough. It’s because you have feelings. Rather than that, please stop. That kind of attitude…”

I dried Ray with a wave of my hand.

Zeppetti, who was watching this, sighed.

Soon after, Ray, who had been scratching his cheek for no reason, stood up.

“By the way, I remember now. Oberth must have picked up something strange at that time…”

“…What if it’s strange?”

After listening to Ray’s flashback, I cut her off and asked.

“Ah, it was… a round sphere. Orb or something.”

“…orb.”

[I wonder why that dragon is Veno…]

I nodded lightly, affirming Sierra’s words.

‘Isn’t it Beno…?’

I couldn’t understand the situation more and more that he was dead in a bizarre position.

“So what happened? That dragon.”

“ate.”

“yes?”

“I know it’s strange, but it was during a war at the time. People are starving to death right now, and I can’t stand the nutritious dragon meat.”

“…”

“It was the first and last dragon meat I ate, but it was more edible than I thought. Most of it was distributed to people, so I only ate the tail, but…”

“I see…”

To sum up the situation, let alone the seal, for some reason Beno’s soul was transferred to the orb… Is it a story that the sage, no, the great sage just picked it up?

[Hmm… Did Dedros lie? Did that Daedroth lie? why…? ]

Sierra, who was raising her eyebrows, expressed her doubts.

Even I couldn’t believe that Daedroth lied.

Even if his words were false, there must have been a reason.

I’m just guessing carefully.
