I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 181

181. Death and those left behind (2)

Even though it was morning, the city did not intend to light up at all.

It’s raining.

The cold wind touches the skin.

She let out a long sigh with her thick smoke.

“…Didn’t you say it was cut off?”

She turned around at the sound of her voice.

As if he didn’t pay attention to the rain, his gray hair was wet.

“Edward…”

Priscilla stopped looking at him and took a sip of her cigarette.

“…”

Edward stood beside Priscilla, running through his wet hair.

Soon there is stillness between the two and the sound of rain flows.

“How was it. Jeto?”

At Edward’s low question, Priscilla lowered her head, casting a shadow over her face.

“…Was terrible.”

“…”

“At a glance, there was no sound. The muscles were all cut off as if they had already reached their limit, and the mana circuit was completely messed up. Besides that…”

Priscilla slurps her tongue.

I could tell because she had a good understanding of her divine power and medicine.

The pain Zeto would have endured in his lifetime.

His desperate will to fight to the point of extinguishing the embers of his life even though he had already reached his limit.

Even during wartime in the past, I have never seen a corpse so badly rolled.

“…Sorry for letting you do this.”

“It’s okay, I guess that’s what I had to do.”

Priscilla knew that Zeto was overdoing it, but she felt guilty at the thought that her failure to stop her strongly had led to this result.

It was the same for Edward.

But the two knew vaguely.

No matter what I did, I couldn’t stop him.

“…What’s wrong with your hand?”

Priscilla asked after finding Edward’s severely burned hand.

Soon Edward waved his hand.

“It’s okay.”

Then she looked at her hands, which were horribly burned.

“It’s a wound I have to bear.”

At Edward’s reply, Priscilla gave her a faint nod of her head.

“Where is Miss Eisel?”

“…Stay by his side. With Yuri.”

“I see.”

The world of Eisel and Yuri has stopped for a moment.

But it’s okay to stop for now.

Be sure to let them go, because you can move forward.

Aware of this, Priscilla and Edward did not want to disturb them.

“…I thought I was getting used to it.”

“I don’t think there’s anything good about getting used to it.”

“That too…”

“…”

“At least…”

A tear falls down Priscilla’s cheek.

“At least I thought it wouldn’t be sad.”

It wasn’t just Eisel and Yuri who had to let him go.

Jetto was kind and kind to everyone.

Since he was a good-natured man without any sharp corners, the aftermath of his death was even more severe.

Edward stroked the back of Priscilla, who was shaking.

“It rains a lot today.”

***

Meanwhile, Eisel and Yuri were in the mortuary room where Jeto’s body was.

It’s a building that doesn’t suit an academy, which can be called an educational institution, but this mortuary was built due to the war with the demons in the past.

In fact, there may be some cadets who are not familiar with the existence of the mortuary room, but since it is a place where there is nothing good about being used, it is just not well known.

Eisel was squatting, leaning against the wall of the morgue.

Yuri stared blankly at Jeto, who had her eyes closed.

Only his face was exposed as Jetto was wrapped in a clean white cloth, but because the bandages that had been covering his eyes all along were missing, Yuri was able to see his bare face for the first time.

Jetto, who had his eyes closed, seemed to be sleeping soundly.

It’s like waking up right away.

‘Did you sleep well?’

It felt like I was going to say something.

Both Yuri and Eisel had watched him sleep once.

So she couldn’t get rid of that feeling all the more.

Yuri quietly wiped away her tears and opened her mouth.

“Hey, Eisel.”

“…”

“Do you know what color Zeto’s eyes were…?”

“…”

Eisel had seen Zeto’s pupils before.

I didn’t see it this time, but I did in the last episode.

There’s no way his eyes would suddenly change.

The color of her eyes will be the same as she knew.

“It’s the same color as the blue sea… Priscilla said it.”

“Blue Sea…”

Yuri imagined while looking at Jeto, who had her eyes closed.

I thought it looked really good.

I think it must have been really pretty eyes.

She thought so.

“A while ago… I’m sorry.”

Yuri sat down on the seat next to Eisel, and she said quietly.

“It’s okay. I didn’t do anything right either. I almost tarnished Zeto’s death.”

I almost ruined Zeto’s death.

Wouldn’t it be more comfortable to die as I looked at Yuri pouring out his anger?

Eisel came up with that idea.

Because I have now realized the meaning of Jeto’s death, which I did not know in the last episode.

She can’t die.

She can’t go back anymore.

I can no longer meet Jeto.

Eisel’s eyes were empty.

The return that seemed like hell came to an end, and what came was an emptiness far more painful than hell.

Eisel was blankly reminiscing about Jeto.

Soon, the voice of Yuri, who was crouching down and holding her lap and bowing her head, came to her ears.

“How was Jeto’s last…?”

“…”

Eisel hesitated at her answer.

The end of Zeto.

What was Jeto like when he was dying his last breath?

She was the worst moment for Eisel, but she had to talk.

She thought she deserved to be heard.

“…Laughed.”

“You laughed…?”

“Yes, he laughed. He smiled kindly as if everything would be fine.”

“…How can I say it. It’s like Jetto.”

Yuri smiled lightly.

She was smiling, but she wasn’t laughing.

Just like Jeto did… She only forced a smile, wondering if it would be okay if she smiled.

“I liked Zeto.”

“…”

The sudden confession of Yuri.

Eisel was silent.

“I liked Jetto… But I couldn’t even say that I liked him. I was embarrassed. I really didn’t know. I knew I would have time. I knew you would wait for me.”

The glass weeps.

Eisel couldn’t even say a word of comfort to Yuri.

Because she was not given to her.

A chance to see his last moments.

A chance to confess your love and check each other’s feelings.

I took everything myself.

I wasn’t too happy about that fact.

Like a person, in and of itself, could never be a sin.

Emotions such as jealousy did not swell.

Anyway, Jeto is no more.

I can’t be anyone’s lover.

I can’t listen to anyone’s confession.

So Eisel, who confirmed his love for Jeto at the end, couldn’t be happier.

It was only more painful.

Time passed like that.

A few hours of silence.

The eyes of the two women who were guarding Jeto’s side were completely dry before they knew it.

Yuri and Eisel were sitting still looking at Jeto’s body.

However, the sight in the eyes of the two was different.

Memories of only the two of us with Jeto that only you know about.

The two were retracing this.

I tried my best to remember him.

ㅡ Tak Tak Tak!!

Soon, urgent footsteps are heard from the other side of the entrance. In the morning, news reached others.

The ones who came were cadets from Class 1 A who had a close relationship with Jeto.

Unexpectedly, Amon Caligus was the first to enter the morgue.

Amon struggles to let go of his foot and sees Zeto’s corpse lying in the center of the mortuary.

“…Kuh.”

It was clearly visible even without lifting the cloth. Because Zeto’s left arm was missing.

“Damn it…”

Amon was normally angry.

He was sad, but his first emotion was anger.

Why did this foolish guy try to carry it alone? When he thought back, everyone was leaning on him.

Amon was no different.

Just a few days ago, he saved my life.

I was furious about that fact.

Angered at his own weakness.

If it had been a little stronger, it could have been Zeto’s support.

If he had been a little stronger, he wouldn’t have left his back on him.

Amon’s fist, touched by such a thought, clenched and tightened.

“”……””

Crank and Orpel came in after Amon.

Looking at Jeto’s face, he fell silent.

“…Zetto?”

Lucia, who arrived late because of her slow legs, caught Jetto’s eyes.

“Why is Zeto…?”

“”…….””

Everyone in the morgue fell silent at Lucia’s question.

There is a world of difference between hearing about it in words and encountering it in person. Moreover, if it was death, even more so.

If it’s too sudden, tears won’t come out.

But those emotions are like inflated balloons…

“Huh… hhhhh…”

Lucia had tears in her eyes.

Soon, her childlike cries spread throughout the morgue.

“aaa…”

…Even a very thin needle will burst right away.

Starting with Lucia.

Amon and Crank silently wipe away tears.

Unable to see this, Yuri gripped her face.

The only ones who didn’t shed tears were Orpel from the Aisin family, who were known to hide their emotions well, and Eisel, who had no more tears left to shed.

The mortuary has become a sea of tears.

After a while, only the sound of whimpering, exhausted from crying, remains.

“”……””

In an atmosphere that became more solemn after shaking off emotions with tears.

ㅡTurbug.

They heard someone walking through the entrance.

Yes.

She was still there.

ㅡTurbug.

She didn’t run.

I just silently took my steps.

Soon she enters her morgue.

Raindrops trickled down her wet hair.

She approached Jeto.

“…I see.”

There was no emotion in her nonchalant voice as she looked down at Jeto.

“You’re dead. Jeto.”

After one short word, she turns her feet.

He walks out of the building again, calmly and fearlessly.

From voice to tone to atmosphere.

A completely different attitude than usual.

Sensing her strangeness in her teeth, her Amon grabbed her shoulder to stop her.

“Hey, Kaen…?”

Immediately, Kaen turned her head and shook Amon’s hand away.

“Don’t stop me.”

From noble mtl dot com

“…”

Amon swallowed.

Goosebumps were running all over her body.

Kaen immediately runs out of the morgue.

Amon, who was watching her from the back, caressed her neck.

He was wondering that his neck was still attached.

Just now, it was a fleeting moment for Amon, but he felt a faint sense of life.

However, Amon experienced death even with the light killing that Kaen scattered. He didn’t even have time to feel fear.

Kaen’s current condition was not good for anyone to see.

Contrary to Jeto’s expectations, Kaen couldn’t control her emotions at all.

Kaen now was like a bomb about to explode.

Someone in her had to stop her.
