I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 21

21. Voyeurism and Daring Plans (1)

‘Grandpa! Why do we have to wear the same clothes like this?’

I once asked my grandfather that when I was young.

Seeing me like that, the corners of his mouth went up as much as he said.

‘There are many reasons, but first of all, isn’t it cool? If the old man is actually incredibly strong in such a shabby appearance…’

‘What’s so cool about it? Wherever we go, people stare at us… Me, I want to wear pretty clothes too!’

It was when I was having such a nonsensical conversation with my grandfather.

The bandits who suddenly came upon us threatened my grandfather and tried to drag me somewhere.

Grandpa said nothing and put his hand on the sword he was carrying on his back.

The grandfather who took out his sword lightly cut through the bandits at a speed that I could not follow with my own eyes.

The grandfather’s appearance as he wiped off the blood on his sword after cutting down the last bandit who was spitting curse words in embarrassment…

‘wow…’

…was very cool.

From then on, I tried and tried again to become cool like my grandfather.

I wanted to become a ‘strong man who hid his power’.

Everyone was ignoring the grandfather, but when the nickname of the grandfather, ‘Sword Saint,’ came out, it was so exciting to see the others trembling and treating him with utmost hospitality.

My whole body was thrilled.

At some point, I was ‘addicted’ to that pleasure.

‘Innocence Academy? Is there anything else you can learn by going there?’

“There is a saying that there is no end to learning. grandfather.’

‘Oh… I see. It wouldn’t be bad to go to the academy and learn more about the world.’

‘Could you quietly enter the school instead? I don’t like to be fed up with my grandfather’s halo and get my honor day by day without proof.’

‘Hmm… that’s not wrong. I never thought I’d think about it this deeply… You’ve grown up a lot before I knew it, Kaen. It’s not even known to the world that you’re my successor, so it probably won’t matter.’

Like that, I managed to get into Innocence Academy by begging and begging my grandfather.

Innocence Academy.

I decided that this place, where talented people my age gather, would be a very appropriate place to give me pleasure.

During the placement test, I deliberately fell out of the proper rank.

‘I forgot the sword… Kkeuh. This is a mistake!’

Looking back now, the acting that unfolded around the time I had to fail the exam was excellent.

It was the time when I returned to my seat in a good mood and was watching the placement test.

Unlike me, ‘Noob’ appeared next to ‘Cadet Eisel’, the strong man who showed all his strength without hindrance.

A blind man who appeared out of nowhere defeated Amon Caligus of the Continental Four Elements family.

Of course, the murmurs of the surprised cadets could be heard.

‘Did Amon lose?’

‘Yeah. That Caligus loses?’

‘How did you break the gauntlet?’

Even if the other cadets didn’t know, I saw it correctly.

dispel. Even with a single sword.

He broke Amon’s magic with his sword.

What was more shocking than that was that I couldn’t feel anything from the swordsmanship of the blind man named ‘Zeto’.

His sword was empty of something.

Only then do I realize

‘…Is he hiding his power too?’

It wasn’t hiding its power completely, it was revealing it to some extent, but it was clear that it wasn’t showing all of it.

There was no way that dispel could be done so easily with such dry, ordinary swordsmanship skills.

I’ve seen my grandfather break magic, so I can say it. People don’t know, but even my grandfather could dispel with a sword.

I tried to learn too… but it wasn’t that easy.

I was nervous.

It was the appearance of a strong rival.

‘Originally, during the main exam, I was going to jump from class C to class A and try to get people’s attention…’

The plan went awry.

After that, I decided to stay away and watch his every move.

Surveillance was easy because he was a blind man with a white bandage covering his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, it was very bad.

The guy did more than me.

When I went to the gymnasium in the middle of the night and saw him practicing the exercises I had done when I was six, I was amazed.

‘How do you postpone such poor mana management? And why are you still acting when no one is left in the gymnasium?’

Considering his level, handling mana would be more than that.

Even I draw sword skills, but there was no way that a guy who could dispel with a sword at a faster time than me couldn’t draw sword skills.

‘I can’t understand at all.’

After watching for several days.

I finally got a complete picture of him.

‘Would you like to enter Class A, show off your talent, and then surprise people by growing even more through hard work?’

Laughter came out.

As I recited the evaluation of the guy I gave, goose bumps ran through my body.

A blind man who has gone blind.

However, he walks well and wields a sword.

It gives a sense of mystery in the first place.

‘Cruel bastard…’

He intended to use his weaknesses and deficiencies for the concept.

In the class assignment test, which can be said to be the first impression of the cadets, he entered A class with a glimpse of his high level.

It meant that we would shine even brighter in Class A, which was already shining brightly.

He intentionally reveals even the bad parts, and after emphasizing that he actually doesn’t have much, he says that he gained strength after hard work, indicating that he can grow further here in the future.

‘…How could he be such a shady guy!’

He even flirts with female students of his age every day, letting loose for an unknown reason.

“Whoa…”

I was watching him from afar today as well. He always hid so that he could not be seen.

But lately, I have the feeling that my existence keeps getting caught by people who ‘should not be seen’.

Even while conversing with Cadet Eisel, he occasionally passes his head in my direction.

It looks like a casual turn of the head, but the action didn’t look so simple to me who knew his skills.

‘why…? My ‘Shadow Erase’ would have been perfect?’

‘Shadow erasing’ was a technique I created independently.

Clear your presence and hide yourself as much as possible.

It looks simple, but it is by no means an ‘easy’ technique.

‘It’s strange… Then you’re saying that his real skills surpass me…?’

Then things are different.

Even if I ended up in class A during the exam, if he planned to show his strength properly during the exam… he could have taken away all the attention that was supposed to be on me.

Since ancient times, hiding power and then revealing it must be the best way.

He had been hiding it, but chose to appeal that he became stronger through hard work.

It can be seen as monotonous, but since he was blind, I think it’s a way to elicit a stronger reaction.

‘If that’s the case, as expected, grandfather’s swordsmanship…’

The moment I used my grandfather’s swordsmanship, it was unconditional that I received attention.

Because he is the only heir to the sword castle.

As a result, his name may spread widely in the world.

‘…but.’

No matter how you think about it, using your grandfather’s swordsmanship is only in case of emergency.

I was deeply troubled as I watched him talking with Cadet Eisel while showing off a sly smile.

‘How can I draw people’s attention more strongly than that guy…?’

***

After training late at the gymnasium, I came across Eisel.

I was walking down the street for a while and chatting with her.

But these days, I often get the feeling that someone is constantly watching me.

‘Is it the effect that the level of the outstanding senses has risen?’

So I naturally turned my head and checked where someone might be watching me.

‘That’s…’

I haven’t been able to find it yet, but this time I saw someone.

What caught my eye was a person hiding behind a tree watching from afar.

His hair color was rather unusual, and he could easily be seen from a distance even at night.

‘Pink hair? Speaking of pink hair… I’m sure there’s only Kaen…’

Caen.

She was also a main character in this game.

But it wasn’t the right time for her to step out yet, so I wasn’t really paying attention.

Kaen was the only heir to the sword castle.

She grew up under the swordsman and learned his swordsmanship.

He called the Sword Saint his grandfather, so of course I thought he was his granddaughter, but as it turned out later, they weren’t related by blood.

Even so, she is a woman with a terrifying talent for swordsmanship, to the extent that the “sword saint” of that world personally took her in as her successor.

If there’s one problem with such a perfect Cayenne, it’s that it’s fiercely committed to the concept.

In various creative works, you can often see characters who are strong but live by hiding their strength. It’s the kind of thing commonly called ‘power breath’.

In the game, she was just that kind of character.

Usually, these characters live hiding their powers due to some kind of story, and when faced with an unavoidable situation, they reveal their mighty power.

she was slightly different.

Kaen is a considerable…so-called ‘interest seed’.

The reason she hides her power is to get a lot of attention from people.

In particular, I remember that I liked the unique pleasure of reversing the situation when hiding and revealing power.

Even Kaen is a very calculating person.

I try to create situations that I think are cool.

To the extent that during the class assignment test, he deliberately fell into class C, which can be said to be in the middle position, and then entered class A by showing an active performance during the main exam, when the class can be changed.

Why is she watching over me and Eisel?

“…so how was the exchange meeting?”

Eisel, who was walking with me, asked me.

“It’s just… well, are you learning?”

“What are you learning? …Are you talking about medical technology exchanges?”

“I started learning acupuncture. I’m glad you seem to be a good fit for me.”

As we talked about the exchange meeting, Priscilla in her underwear shimmered in front of my eyes, and my face became hot for no reason.

“Ah… acupuncture… unusual? I’m really curious about the process of how a blind person will learn acupuncture.”

Eisel narrowed her eyes and spoke to me in a very low voice.

“Uh… that… He kindly taught me. hahahaha…”

I smiled shyly and scratched the back of my head.

It would be perfect for Eisel to think strangely to tell the truth that he learned by groping her body.

“…It’s okay. There’s a cafe I know nearby, let’s go together.”

I thought we would all go our separate ways, but suddenly Eisel invited me to a cafe.

‘Cafe? Was there a cafe that Eisel liked?’

I had my doubts, but it was not uncommon for Eisel to invite me first.

“Good.”

I nodded and affirmed her suggestion.

The cafe I came to with Eisel was a well-decorated store with a quite atmosphere.

It was my first time coming because I didn’t know all the shops in the city.

Eisel and I entered the cafe and sat down at a suitable table with no people around.

“I’ll order and come back. You decided the menu last time. Coffee is fine, right?”

Eisel stood up, mentioning the Harald’s business.

“Coffee… yes, it’s fine.”

I wonder what coffee is late at night, but it didn’t really matter because I was planning to leave the academy again after a while.

Now, if you have items that contain memories, you can entrust the request to the blacksmith.

‘How long will it take?’

After thinking about the urethra for a while, Eisel brought two cups of coffee.

Eisel pushed a cup of coffee into my hand, which was still on the table.

“thank you.”

“It’s nothing.”

Eisel immediately took a sip of coffee and said.

I don’t know if she liked coffee or not, but I drank it without saying anything because I was being treated anyway.

“…”

“…”

We didn’t talk to each other as we continued to drink coffee.

There were times like this often with Eisel.

It’s an atmosphere where we don’t talk often, but we’re satisfied that we’re together.

Well, I didn’t like that.

Around the time I finished drinking the coffee, I suddenly felt that my body was getting heavy.

‘…why are you doing this?’

The still head is also slightly tilted.

There was no will in it.

When I sensed something strange and tried to ask Aisel a question, she spoke first.

“Hasn’t the coffee tasted strange?”

“Does it taste like coffee…?”

it was just normal

The coffee taste was bittersweet.

“Because this coffee has alcohol in it. Isn’t it amazing? It’s the first time I’ve ever had alcohol in coffee.

My head started pounding at Eisel’s answer. I don’t remember drinking at all after becoming this body.

“Alcohol…? You should have told me about that beforehand…”

His head jerks rapidly and hits the table.

ㅡ kung.

“I’m… weak for alcohol… even…”

I couldn’t speak anymore.

Mind…

I feel like I’m getting lost…

***

“Ah, you must have been weak… Are you sure you fell asleep already…?”

I handed Jeto a question that would not give an answer.

In front of my eyes, I saw him collapsed on the table with his head staggered.

I poke Jeto’s shoulder with my finger.

“Ha… In this case, ‘unavoidably’ I’ll have to take you to the dormitory.”

The thought that the plan was successful makes me smile.

“Huh.”

Alcohol is still weak.

Jeto.
