I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 222

222. East, Hwaguk (10)

As the three women posed a threat to the semi-transparent ghost, Sierra’s explanation echoed in her head as she made sense of this messy situation.

Perhaps these three were after me.

Then why didn’t I get the hang of it?

It was clear that the girl with pink hair over there was doing it.

She could sense my mood.

It was a big deal in a way that I didn’t even notice that they were following me, but it wasn’t the worst thing about entering Hanzo’s grave.

I decided to think of it as positively as possible, because this experience allowed me to be careful in difficult situations when the girls chased after me.

It wasn’t particularly dangerous since it couldn’t harm Hanzo, but since he seemed embarrassed, he immediately explained the identity of the ghost to the girls.

“So this is Great Ninja Hanzo…?”

“How are you still alive?”

“Not really alive.”

At Eisel’s question, Kaen, who pierced through Hanzo’s spirit body and waved his hand, answered.

Sierra is invisible to them, but why is Hanzo’s figure visible to them? Hanzo put his soul in this huge tomb, so it must be because those who enter the tomb are always in contact with him.

“Then… Why did Zeto lose his mind…?”

Yuri asked as she extinguished the embers burning in her palm.

“Hmm… I was tired for a while…”

No matter how much it was, I couldn’t say that I came after looking at the memories of my previous life.

“Why are you here?”

“That’s because the people I met on the walk were, of course, grave robbers. They took me away, saying that since I was blind, I would be good at seamanship. But… More than that, why are you all here?”

“”……””

The three looked at each other at my counterattack.

Looking at the reaction, it seems that there is no prearranged answer.

“I think you’ve met grave robbers too, haven’t you?”

“Isn’t it…? We were on a walk too, but by chance…”

“Ahahahaha… Why are there so many grave robbers… I think there are more than ninjas.”

I reached out a helping hand to those who could clearly see the inside, and Yuri and Kaen tuned in to me.

“……”

Just as much as Eisel had her mouth poked out and made a face that she didn’t like her.

But I wasn’t spouting it because I wanted to lie about me. It was unavoidable for smooth progress.

“Kuhmm… Is the story over?”

Hanzo cleared his throat and looked around him.

Come to think of it, I was missing the main character.

“I’m sorry. I have offended Hanzo-sama. Please forgive me.”

“It’s okay. I’ve roughly figured out the situation…”

Hanzo narrowed his eyes and he looked sideways at me.

I was able to understand the meaning of the words that he grasped the situation roughly through his explanation that followed.

“I heard about the situation from that young man. He said that the kingdom of China is in trouble due to the rampage of divine beasts. In that sense, I want to leave the work to you.”

Hanzo did his best to match my words so I didn’t get into trouble.

“Is it work?”

“Of course, we have prepared a suitable reward, so don’t show dislike. There is a device here that can find out the location of the divine beast. Will you deliver it to the shrine maiden in my place? It’ll help. There, crimson… Yes, you.”

“Oh, me? My name is Kaen.”

“Kaen… Will you follow the old man? I will deliver the goods.”

Then Hanzo called out for her kayen and went out with her out of her closet to get her compass.

“Hmm… But somehow, it seems that the work has been completed.”

If this is the case, even if I don’t step out, I’ll know where I got the compass and explain to you, and since I got close to my previous life and acquired skills at the same time, I should have seen it as a good achievement.

‘The only thing left is the connection between Kaen and Dohwa.’

I checked earlier, but the two are very similar.

It was said that there were no children between Dohwa and I, so if Dohwa did not have her siblings, it would be unreasonable to say that she was the ancestor of Kaen.

‘Could it be that she also reincarnated?’

Could the thread of fate be twisted in such a way?

Even if you reincarnate, you won’t have any memories.

You must be in a similar situation to me.

It is unknown whether her memories will come back because she, like me, touched her past, but the possibility seemed low.

In my case, since I was reincarnated with the power of Heneris, it is said that the record is engraved in my soul, but in the case of normal reincarnation, the case will be different.

Anyway, Dohwa and Kaen had to be connected. I don’t know exactly what the link was, but it was certain.

‘As for the remaining problems…’

I quickly organized my thoughts and caught Yuri and Eisel curiously looking around the room.

That their overprotectiveness is getting worse day by day. Of course, this follow-up must have taken up half of his curiosity.

I think I need to pay more attention when I act alone in the future.

In the meantime, Yuri asked me a question while examining a scroll lying on one side of the desk.

“Come to think of it, did Zeto pass through all these mysterious doors like us?”

“A gateway? Right? Hanzo said it was prepared for the ninja’s training.”

“I’m curious, do you remember the first gate?”

“The first gate?”

“Yeah, I heard it’s the door of deception… Did anyone come out of it?”

As Yuri made a rhyme, Eisel turned to me as if interested.

[ Heh, the intention of the question is clear. ]

As Sierra said, it was a question that revealed her true intentions. Asking this question was part of the prediction of who the girls would meet the disguised wooden soldier.

It was a question that should not be answered for the sake of ‘fairness’ that Zeppetti has been emphasizing ever since he declared that he will embrace everyone.

“…Who did Ms. Yuri meet?”

“Uh… That’s…”

“We didn’t see anyone.”

“Yes, it was.”

It was an unexpected answer, but I was lucky.

I smiled and opened my mouth.

“I haven’t met anyone in particular either. Who should I have met?”

“…Well.”

Eisel gave her a small reaction by clicking her tongue. It seems that he was disappointed because the answer was different from what he expected.

‘By the way, Kaen is a bit late.’

As far as simply carrying an item.

***

It was a time when I was walking down a dark passageway following a bluish specter.

“…Do you believe in reincarnation?”

The old ghost looked back and asked me.

“Reincarnation? Are you talking about reincarnation or something?”

“Yes.”

“Should I believe it?”

It was a question like floating clouds.

Until then, I had thought that it was the interest of a ghost whose body had long since worn out and disappeared.

“You’d better believe it. If you’re the one who reincarnated.”

Hanzo shrugged his shoulders as he spat out some rather meaningful words.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard of the Conqueror King.”

“I haven’t heard of it.”

“Hmm… Everyone from the East should know, but aren’t you from the East by any chance?”

“It’s rare to find an orphan who knows where he is from.”

“Oops… I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. It’s nothing.”

Hometown, place of birth.

That was a particularly distant story for me.

When I was young, that is to say, by the time I knew clearly that I was me, I was already living a wandering life with my grandfather.

I once asked that question when I realized that I was an orphan after my hair grew a bit more and that I was not related by blood to my grandfather.

‘Grandpa, who were my real parents?’

At the time, my grandfather stuttered as if he was quite taken aback by my question.

What kind of question are you suddenly asking? Caen. Did someone make fun of me?’

From noble mtl dot com

‘It’s not like that, I’m curious about my roots.’

‘Root…?’

‘Human beings. They say they tend to value their roots.’

‘Who said that…’

‘My grandfather’s friend I met the other day said that.’

‘Juliut, you wicked bastard… What are you talking about that is so difficult for a young child…’

‘So what about my mom and dad? Were you close with your grandfather?’

‘No, I don’t know who the parents are. I just picked it up because there was a baby while passing by.’

‘Hey…’

‘But thanks to that, I was able to become my grandfather’s granddaughter, so isn’t a good thing a good thing? This old man is a celebrity that I know quite a bit?’

‘A lie, something no one recognizes.’

‘Heng, I’m glad I didn’t recognize you. You can avoid troublesome things, right?’

Even then, I used to think that my grandfather was an ‘adult lacking in responsibility’, but when the war with the demons broke out, I changed my mind watching him leave me with an acquaintance and leave for the battlefield right away.

In the first place, he took care of me as an orphan with all his heart and soul.

On the contrary, I have a very strong sense of responsibility, so if I face a problem, I can’t just ignore it.

In the end, after that conversation, I didn’t bother to find my roots.

Because I thought it was enough for me to have my roots as a disciple of the Sword Saint and a granddaughter of my grandfather.

So I wasn’t interested in where I was born or who my parents were.

But why is Hanzo asking me this?

Listening to the explanation about the King of Conquerors, he wasn’t even from the same country as Hanjo.

It is said that King Conquer was the only king of a country called Wolguk, which unified the East.

What does that have to do with reincarnation?

I was able to find out the answer before it was too late.

“He had one queen. I was close friends with them in my lifetime.”

“Hmm… It seems he was a contemporary of Hanzo.”

“And he looks like that queen.”

“…What is it?”

“Your appearance.”

“Aha, so you guessed that the queen might have been reincarnated. Unfortunately, she has nothing to do with me. As long as you live, you’ll meet people who look a little like you.”

It was a nonsensical story.

Honestly, at this point, I was concerned that this ghost named Hanzo might have gone senile.

“It’s not speculation, it’s a fact.”

“Is that so. The girl wants to pack her things and go home quickly.”

“You have a heart for that blind young man, don’t you?”

“…So what?”

“If I told you that the young man was the king of conquerors in his previous life and you were his wife in your previous life, would you be interested?”

“That sounds ridiculous.”

It was obviously a rumor, but I didn’t believe it because it didn’t really touch me or there was no evidence.

“Now, this is a compass. All you have to do is pass it on to the shaman.”

“It’s easy.”

Hanzo pointed me to where the compass was and I immediately picked it up.

It was different from an ordinary compass.

It was a uniquely shaped compass with unknown characters written all over it.

“And your reward…”

Hanzo, who was looking through the warehouse, pointed to a wad of paper.

“What is this?”

“It’s a talisman. It’s effective against goblins.”

“Well, it looks useful.”

“It’s like a great ninja’s talisman, but the response is very poor.”

“Thank you.”

A talisman for demons.

Considering the situation Zeto was in, there could be more encounters with demons in the future, so it seemed like a reward that everyone would be satisfied with.

“And… This.”

The next place Hanzo pointed was a sword.

A scabbard with a clean white color.

A metal ornament in the shape of a crescent moon was attached to the end of the hilt.

“What is this sword?”

“It’s your sword.”

“…At a glance, it seems like a rare sword. Suddenly…”

I said that, but it was already after I picked up the sword.

ㅡSeureung.

The blade of the sword, which was not rusted, radiated light.

Considering the items he had kept during his lifetime, hundreds of years must have passed, but it was a strange thing.

On days when the back of his nose looked up, there were letters that were hard to read.

“This letter is…”

“It is an ancient text from the East that was used in the old days. It is written as Wolyeong.”

“Wolyeong…”

“It means the shadow of the moon.”

“It’s a quality sword that can be called a famous sword or a treasured sword. Can you suddenly give me something like this? I haven’t done anything special.”

He thought he wanted to have a sword as stylish as his grandfather’s sword or Zeto’s sword, but he didn’t even think that he would get it without doing anything like this, so he rather doubted that it might be a demonic sword or something.

When his grandfather said that.

There is a reason for excessive kindness.

“What do I need to do? You are the owner of the sword.”

“I can’t believe I still hear that reincarnation-like sound…”

Hanzo’s nonsense continued once more, and maybe it was because of his mood, but the weight of the sword in his hand and the feel when holding it were familiar, as if he had experienced them before.

“The name of the sword is Wolyeong Sword. It is the sword used by Baek Do-hwa, the wife of the King of Conquest. And it has already been proven that you are Baek Do-hwa’s reincarnation.”

“What do you mean by that?”

Inadvertently, his eyebrows were furrowed.

It was because I didn’t understand how the inference could be true when there was no proof and no evidence came out.

“The Wolyeong sword you are holding is proof of that. There is a powerful spell applied to the Wolyeong sword. If it is not Baek Do-Hwa himself, the sword cannot be pulled out. You can go and check with the others right now.”

“……”

“It’s unbelievable, but it’s all true. I just want to help you. It’s a pity that no one remembers a previous life.”

“Whoa… Wait a minute. So you’re saying that I was a queen in my previous life? And my husband was the Conqueror King, so that’s Zeto’s previous life?”

“That’s correct. My head is soaring. Baek Do-hwa was like that too.”

It was nice to hear that Zeto and I were linked in a previous life, but I still couldn’t believe it.

“Does Jetto know about this?”

“Unfortunately, like you, he doesn’t seem to have any memories.”

Hanzo shook his head in pity.

“I’m glad you’re interested. If you want to know more about your past life, look for ‘Wolyeonghoe’ in Wolguk.”

“If it’s Wolyeonghoe…?”

“It’s an organization Baek Do-hwa formed in the past. She gathered strong people from all over the world to protect Baek Cheon-gyeol, the conquering king. “

Wolyeong Sword and Wolyeonghoe.

Baekdohwa and Baekcheongyeol.

It was difficult to understand all of them, but right now, because the story was long, I decided to go back to where they were before arousing suspicion from others.

I threw my last question to Hanzo before entering the closet.

“I don’t understand one thing, I don’t understand why Hanzo went so far to help me.”

“This is a small wish of the specter. The end of Baekdohwa and Baekcheongyeol was never good. I don’t know if it was a joke of fate, but at least it continued like this…”

Hanzo closed his eyes and slurred his words as if reminiscing about his past.

“…So this time, shouldn’t it end well?”

The link with Jeto that only I know.

Maybe this is an opportunity.

I thought so.

‘Wolyeonghoera…’

Didn’t I also go to Wolguk on this trip?

I’m not the kind of person who believes in reincarnation or reincarnation, but I couldn’t deny that I wanted to investigate even a little bit more.
