I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 213

213. East, Hwaguk (1)

Do you know why Hwaguk is called Hwaguk?

The country of fire.

It is a country that can be found if you head straight south from Ishai, a kingdom located at the westernmost end of the ambiguous boundary called the East.

It is often called the country of fire, but the reason is not because they have indigenous beliefs such as the god of bonfire, nor are they good at magic or secret arts related to fire, much less because the blacksmith that comes to mind when you think of fire is famous.

It must all be because the scorching sun is stinging.

It’s hot.

In other words, it’s hot.

Hot is also hot, but as a bonus it’s humid.

It’s not that I haven’t experienced this kind of weather, but Hwaguk was severe.

Oh, and hot in another sense.

If you have several houses burning in front of your eyes, you can naturally feel the heat on your skin.

“Help…Give me…”

“Reinforcements are here! Hang in there!”

“Cadets, residents must evacuate first!”

As soon as I set foot in the country, the village I arrived at was burning as if it had been hit by a war.

At this rate, it should have been called Hwaguk in the sense that it was not a country of fire, but a country of fire.

From a crying child who lost his parents in a chaos, to an old man who collapsed on the floor, to an unknown ninja lying on a broken wall with a pool of blood.

Yes, it was that ‘ninja’.

He didn’t wear a mask covering his face or a headband with the symbol of his place of origin on his forehead, but he was a ninja.

Hwaguk is a country that is the root of ninjas and has numerous ninjas, but in fact, there is no other country that trains ninjas other than Hwaguk.

Information on ninja training and ninja techniques is strict enough to be treated as a state secret.

I don’t know if I should be proud of it, but it’s good to say that ninjas are the identity of the country.

What are the ninjas of such a country fighting against?

Their enemy was the one you see right there, his entire body covered in flames, blazing tirelessly.

A bit like a burning fox.

Even if you look at it like that, it’s a guy called ‘Shinsu’.

A beast that is said to possess ethereal energy.

It is known that divine beasts do not harm people except in special cases, but if there is one problem, this is a special case.

Hwaguk has been struggling with the indiscriminate aggression of the divine beasts they have been caring for for years.

I just wonder how they were managing sensitive beings like Shinsoo in the first place.

“Jetto, right!”

I can hear Eisel’s urgent voice.

At the same time, fire pours down from the right side to devour me.

ㅡ Chuck!!!

I cut the flame vertically to disperse the force, but I couldn’t completely destroy it, so my left arm, which had become metal, had to handle all the heat that soon came.

‘It’s not magic, so I can’t see my weakness.’

The flame is his arm.

The rising ash must be his leg.

It was one of the poems written for that burning fox that should remain after turning to charcoal.

‘It’s annoying…’

Inhaling the hot heat that touched his nose, he smiled slightly.

Since things go smoothly every time, when a difficult problem like this arises, I get motivated and stimulated.

I retrieved the sword I swung and at the same time cut through the air and kept the Shinsoo in check with one piece of reverse cloth.

ㅡ The Viscount!!!

As if he had sensed my sword attack, which should have been impossible to reach with the naked eye, the flame orbs that hovered around him immediately opened a curtain to protect him.

“……”

Shinsoo, who was running and stepping on the roof of the village, stopped his leg and glared at me.

It seems that after going wild without paying attention to the surroundings, they decided to keep an eye on me with the attack I just made.

“Orphell, are you ready yet?”

“……”

I didn’t hear an answer from Orphel, who was gathering mana in his whole body, despite my ensuing questions.

“I guess I need to buy some more time.”

Yuri took out a small orb from her bosom and stepped forward.

“That guy’s flames also hurt Yuri-chan, right?”

Yuri had a talent for flame magic that no one could match, and of course she had flame resistance to match, but the blue flame emitted by the Shinsoo was different from the flame she was familiar with.

Then an orb of bluish fire hovering around him floated into the air and exploded, and the sparks rained down from the sky, glass flicking her fingers.

ㅡ Kwakkwakkwak!!!!

The fire rain that was pouring down on us explodes from the sky and disappears.

“I’m used to it already. I don’t know if my fire magic will be able to hit him, but if it comes back, I think it’s possible.”

I confidently stepped forward to block the guy’s attack.

Is it the feeling of fighting fire with fire?

“Then I’ll leave the air to Ms. Yuri. Me, Miss Kaen, and Ms. Eisel, who are quick on foot, will drive him as much as possible. I think it’s okay to feel like driving them. Crank and Amon remain here, and Orpheel. Please protect.”

“…What about the instructors anyway?”

Krank raised his huge shield and asked.

He woke up not too long ago, so he was a little late in grasping the situation.

“The villagers are being evacuated. Instructor Edward said that his fantasy magic wouldn’t work on him, so we should wait for ourselves.”

“So we have to stop that monster by ourselves…?”

“There’s nothing I can’t do. Crank, you’re a good shield. Me too.”

Amon sighed and laughed, tied his hair tie tightly, and immediately erected a wall of earth around Orphel, who was preparing a spell.

Edward is usually very suspicious and shrewd, but unfortunately, this time around, his words seemed to be true.

Considering that he was a Shinsoo, he wasn’t that strange even if fantasy magic didn’t work.

‘Lucia is also helping the instructors to transport the wounded… Are these six people all right now?’

Maybe this is an opportunity to increase the progress of ‘King’ written on the status window.

I swung my sword once more and stepped toward the fox that was glaring at me.

I naturally frowned at the heat that grew stronger every time I got closer to him, but I immediately heard the voices of Kaen and Eisel following me.

“I’ll follow Cadet Zeto’s movements.”

“Zetto, shouldn’t you get hurt?”

With these women, what more should I fear?

“Then let’s make it rain in the dry sky.”

A lightning strike in the dry sky was possible alone, but the rain still needed Orphel’s help.

***

‘They are…’

Daijin, who was one of the ordinary low-level ninjas of the country of China, couldn’t shut his mouth when he witnessed a rare sight.

A super divine beast, ‘Miho’, unexpectedly crashed into the village he lived in, and he was injured in the leg while desperately trying to stop Miho. He collapsed on the spot and couldn’t stand up. Couldn’t get up

“Ms. Eisel!”

“Leave it to me.”

When the black-haired blind man, who brushed aside Miho’s tail, shouted, the platinum-haired girl answered with a sullen voice and swung the spear containing the thunderbolt wide and slashed Miho’s tail.

ㅡKiii!!!

Golden lightning surged through Miho’s body, and he briefly struggled in pain.

An angry Miho thrust her fangs at the black-haired blind man.

ㅡKaang!!!!

The blind man and the red-pigmented girl next to him block Miho’s fangs with a sword.

‘You’re enduring Miho’s strength…?’

The strangers who suddenly appeared were accusing Miho.

ㅡ Kwaaang!!!!!

“Ugh…”

Daijin frowned at the roar that came from the air.

“You’re tenacious… If that’s divine sleep, then this is a dragon…!”

Following the shouts, I saw a naked girl with her palms facing upwards.

‘Miho’s fireworks are bursting in the air.’

Miho’s indiscriminate bombardment seemed to have been quiet for a while, but she alone was blocking all the flames pouring from Miho’s fox marbles.

‘But what are you doing over there?’

She I saw a wall made of earth and a man holding a shield behind her.

As a low-ranking ninja, Daijin couldn’t even guess what they were doing.

It was clear that they had a plan and strategy, seeing as they were moving like one body, and Daijin was contemplating what the contents would be.

“…Did you hurt your leg?!”

A girl with bluish hair, who didn’t know when she came, spoke to him.

“Ah, yes… My left leg…”

“Could you please walk? If not, I can move it.”

As the girl twirls her fingers, Daijin’s body floats in the air.

“Ohh…”

Daijin, who was experiencing magic himself for the first time, admired it, but it was not the time for him to react so leisurely.

“…But I think I can walk. Support is enough, so the other villagers…”

“It’s already moving.”

“Ah…”

Injured people floating in the air could be seen behind her bright smile.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Is it causing wind…? Moving so many people at once…’

It seemed like it would consume a lot of physical strength, but the girl was just laughing as if she was having fun, so Daijin looked at the girl in front of her in awe.

“Anyway, you look very busy over there.”

The girl turned her head to see where Miho was.

“Are they your colleagues…?”

“Yes, they are my friends!”

“Then stop them now.”

“Do you want to stop it?”

The girl tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.

“I know their skills aren’t unusual, but it’s still dangerous… Miho is a special divine beast.”

“Express Shinsoo…”

“Whatever they were planning… It would be difficult to stop Miho unless Miko came.”

It was only when a ‘shaman’ who could manage all the gods of the country and control their powers that they were able to capture them.

“Unless it suddenly rains from the sky…”

As always, the hot sunlight of Hwaguk touched Daijin’s face as she raised her head.

The sky is so clear that not a single cloud can be seen.

Dajin shook his head while examining this.

“…But I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

It was very difficult weather to hope for rain, Miho’s only weakness.

But the girl who followed him and looked up at the sky made a different noise.

“If it rains, it will.”

“What is that…”

“I’m getting off.”

The girl smiled lightly at Daijin, who frowned as if she was talking nonsense.

“Wait a minute. Um… By now…”

It was at that moment that the girl who was touching her chin stopped talking.

ㅡPaang!!

With the sound of water splashing out of nowhere, a huge drop of water appeared from an earthen wall seen from the other side and rose into the air.

“Oh, now!”

The girl who noticed this clapped her hands, and soon heard the cry of an unknown man from inside the earthen wall.

“Zeto—-!! I put my everything in it!!!”

“I was waiting for you!”

Then the black-haired blind man who was confronting Miho on the other side of the earthen wall answered and ran to the earthen wall.

“Amon!”

“Ow!”

At the call of the blind, a large man leaps out of the earthen wall with something like a rock on his arm.

The blind man leaps into his arms and he throws him straight up.

The direction was in the direction of the giant water drop floating in the air.

In that fleeting moment, the model of the blind disappeared from Daijin’s sight.

“Ohh…!”

Even though the girl showed something of hers differently from Daijin, she calmly blocked the sunlight with her palm, and she looked at it and exclaimed.

‘What about Miho…?’

A time when Daijin, who had no idea how the situation was going, asked such questions.

ㅡPaaang!!!!!!

A roar that shook the ground echoed in the air where the giant water droplets were.

Innumerable split and split water droplets fall from the sky.

ㅡ Shoot ah…

The tiny water droplets made a splashing sound on Daijin’s clothes and skin.

“What is this…”

The rain was pouring down from a truly cloudless sky.
