I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 23

23. master (1)

“I’ve tried all the star-by-star experiences.”

The coachman who was pulling the wagon grumbled.

It was a coachman whom he became close to after using a carriage near the outside of the academy a few times.

“This time it’s dead? Why are you going to a place where your eyes are uncomfortable and there is no road?”

I gave up and quietly talked to the coachman, who was about to take a nap because the driver was constantly complaining.

“…The master is there, but I have an item to get him.”

“Gee, did you say your name is Zeto? I don’t know who Master is, but why don’t you tell him to move his residence quickly?”

“…I can’t move it now. hahahaha…”

‘Residence’ is not too wrong, but in a way, it is also the place where she died, so ‘grave’ had to be more correct.

“Eh, tsk.”

The coachman clicked his tongue and immediately concentrated on pulling the wagon quietly.

‘…What is Kaen up to?’

Kaen, whom I had witnessed the other day, hadn’t shown any different behavior since then.

Sometimes, I think I passed by pink hair in the middle of the bush, but I want to think it’s because of my mood.

I have no idea what Kaen is up to. This is something that never happened in the game.

‘Something that didn’t even happen in the game…’

Eisel and Kaen.

Watching the changing moves of the characters appear one after another, I think that the future may have been twisted a long time ago.

‘Eisel is especially…’

It was different.

It was different from the game.

Still, he wasn’t a completely different person.

‘if……’

An ominous feeling of foreboding that visits me now and then rushes through my head.

“ha…”

I tried to ignore it and let out a big sigh.

Knowledge and information from the past do not change… I had no choice but to take that as comfort and move forward.

If it stopped, it was over there.

***

The talkative coachman became quiet for a while, so he was able to ask for at least a light sleep.

ㅡKung kung.

Suddenly, I heard a knocking on the carriage, and I woke up and got up.

“Get off. We’ve arrived.”

The driver’s voice came from the front.

I opened the carriage door and got out slowly.

As soon as I got off the carriage, the sight of countless bamboos standing tall greeted me.

It was night, so it was gloomy.

“Is it dead?”

“Yes. When have I ever taken you the wrong way?”

While I was having a nonsensical conversation with the coachman, a strong wind blew and the forest made a chilling sound.

“…Listening to the sound of the wind, this is the right place.”

“So… can I wait here as you asked earlier?”

The coachman looked at me and reconfirmed the request I had made earlier.

Before getting into the carriage, I had asked the driver to wait at the destination for an additional fee.

This place is not well reached by people, so I had to walk far to get a wagon again.

“Yes. It won’t take too long. Or, if I don’t come back for a long time, as I said before, you can go.”

“Won, how can I find the way…”

“You don’t have to worry. You’re the teacher who taught me those things.”

“Please be careful.”

I smiled wryly at the coachman and reassured him as much as I could.

All you have to do is bring the stuff anyway. I knew the location roughly, so it would be over soon.

I left the carriage behind and walked slowly into the bamboo grove.

bamboo forest.

The road to this vast bamboo forest, a little far from Innocence Academy, was very complicated.

I looked around and saw that all sides were packed with bamboo.

In fact, there is no such thing as a road.

‘but…’

The soul to be sealed in the urethra, and the ‘she’ whom I refer to as my teacher to others, decided to practice closed-gwan training here.

It’s a place where people don’t go out.

‘There must be a cave she lived in somewhere in this bamboo grove.’

I made my way through countless bamboo shoots.

In preparation for the return, I tore a white cloth prepared from a bamboo I often encountered and tied it in a conspicuous place.

There are no people around anyway, so there is no need to act blind.

There was one hint in the game to find the cave.

There is one big waterfall in this wide bamboo forest. The cave she lived in is hidden behind the waterfall.

The obvious location of the cave was obvious, but finding the waterfall was a problem.

I had a way to spend less time searching for the falls.

After walking aimlessly, I wanted to be at this point, so I listened to the sounds around me.

ㅡssss.

You can hear the unique sound of the bamboo forest.

The sound of swaying bamboo leaves.

The sound of bamboo hitting each other could also be heard from time to time.

I believed in my superior sensory skills and focused my attention on hearing.

OK.

ㅡShuaah…

I could detect the subtle sound of a waterfall coming from a distant direction.

It was a huge waterfall, so I thought I could detect the sound of it now, but I was right.

I walked in the direction the sound came from.

ㅡShuaah.

As I walked along, the sound gradually got closer.

And finally.

ㅡShoot!

waterfall could be found.

I approached the waterfall along the gorge.

“Hmm…”

There is no way to get in and out of the side, so getting your clothes wet is inevitable.

I dove toward the cascading waterfall.

ㅡ to blame.

The floor is straw.

As expected, the cave was behind a waterfall.

But there was no light, so there was nothing to see because of the darkness.

‘I can feel a presence inside… don’t I?’

I took out a small lamp that I could easily carry from the backpack I was wearing.

‘The blind turn on the lamp because it’s dark…’

A laugh leaked out at the very ironic situation, but it didn’t bother me because I had never shown this to anyone.

As I walked through the cave like that, her traces were gradually revealed.

‘How many years did he say he spent in this cave?’

Her lung training was quite long.

why did it take so long

‘Sword Saint.’

It was to create a swordsmanship to defeat only one person.

This was the reason why she chose closed-kwan training after losing so many times to the Sword Saint.

Going deeper into the cave, traces of her life here are revealed little by little.

There were objects of unknown use lying around the cave, or pieces of worn-out cloth were scattered.

‘How many years have passed since she died?’

Even if you roughly calculate it, close to 10 to 20 years have passed.

Since she had practiced lung-gwan training before her death, there was a gap of time to say that she took me in as a disciple.

It was an unfortunate death that was not even known because no one was informed of the lung training, but I knew about her death.

In the game, the number of souls that can be sealed was limited in the Yodo, which is essential when dealing with demon swordsmanship.

Although there are differences among souls, most of them were strong people who used swords in their lifetime.

‘To die of a long-term illness right before the end of lung training…’

In addition, there were many cases where he suffered an unfair death like her.

As powerful as it was, the soul becomes a grudge and stays there, unable to leave the earth.

‘The question is where the soul is bound.’

As in the game, mana exists in the body of everyone in this world.

Originally, when a person dies, even if a corpse is formed and the flesh disintegrates, even a skeleton is bound to remain.

Of course, even the bones disappear after being buried in the ground for a long time…

Mana played a unique role here.

In this world, the mana remaining in the bones of the dead will disintegrate even the bones.

In the game, it was written that the corpse would disappear without a trace in 5 years.

It was a miscellaneous knowledge that I gained while playing a ghost sword character.

Until then, I had no interest in what happened to the corpse in this game, and I had no particular information.

Of course, the tomb still existed.

It is said that the body of the dead disappears completely, but shouldn’t we commemorate it?

the question is that

Then where do these powerful souls, who will be sealed when dealing with ghost swordsmanship, stay?

There are no corpses or skeletons left.

It wasn’t even a dead spot.

The correct answer was the thing that had the most connection with the deceased.

In the game, this was an item with the name of ‘memories.’

As I walked, thinking about things, I reached the end of the cave.

Miscellaneous objects whose shapes are hard to recognize, and things that look like crudely shaped furniture that seem to have been made directly from bamboo, were visible.

She was a prosecutor in her lifetime.

Then, isn’t the thing with deep ties also a sword?

However, it is not black.

Right now, this thing lying on this seat.

I picked it up.

‘…Is it because it contains a soul? As soon as I pick it up, I feel bleak.’

As soon as I picked up the object, I instantly got goosebumps all over my body, but I passed it on lightly because it was an object that should have happened.

I took a closer look at things.

Despite the passage of time, it was neither rusted nor worn, suggesting that it was a special item.

A necklace with jewels still looking like new. Even if it was a jewel, the string of the necklace was also not rusted.

It was a pendant that she had worn around her neck all her life, now containing her soul.

‘Sierra’s pendant.’

When this pendant is used when making a yodo, a yodo containing her soul is created.

After that, if you completely seal the soul that entered the yodo (妖刀) and make a contract so that it cannot run rampant at will, the true yodo (妖刀) is completed.

I searched the floor some more and found the journal she had written. I put it in my backpack and put the pendant in my pocket.

“Hmm…”

Even after leaving the cave, the gloomy aura that hovers around you does not go away.

In the game, ‘I felt creepy and scary.’ I couldn’t feel it because the sentence was simply written, but it was different now.

‘It’s a bit scary…?’

it must be my misunderstanding

I came to a waterfall that becomes the entrance to the cave. I put the lamp back in my backpack and jumped over the waterfall.

ㅡ to blame.

As before, the ground is properly tilled.

‘Finally, this hardship is over.’

I raised my head thinking about it, but…

…Suddenly, something was missing.

I saw a ‘person’ with a face up to my nose.

It was a woman.

Long, dark brown hair.

The mysterious purple eyes were staring at me.

The dress, which exposed the breastbone, seemed to be of the East, judging from its design.

However, when I looked closely, the body was half transparent.

No, her lower body was almost transparent.

Even if I pretended, I wasn’t a ‘person’.

Before long, her mouth, which had been staring at me, opened.

[The dead… precious things… why are you trying to carry them…? ]

Her voice, spoken in a rather shy tone, did not come from the front where she was standing, but resonated exactly in her head.

The white bandage covering my eyes, the ‘eyepatch that pierces reason’…

…It seems that it has literally pierced the boundary that should not have been crossed.

Her name is Sierra.

She was the same as before.

He was my ‘fake’ teacher and the soul that would enter the urethra.
