I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 240

240. Dongbang, Cheonseon Academy (5)

“I… So why are you here…”

The strong man from the West came to the academy.

The place where a blind man named Zeto took me to was the Shindanjang located in the academy.

Shindandanjang is a place where those who deal with foreign work usually visit for training, and it is a place where various instruments for trimming and training the body are lined up.

I had only heard that there was a place like this, but it was the first time I had visited it myself since entering the academy.

“I heard you want to become stronger? I heard there’s a good place… Amon!”

Jeto, who was entering the shin danjang, continued talking and called someone.

ㅡTung!

Soon thereafter, a brown-haired man holding a rather heavy-looking, unknown tool made of a huge piece of steel puts it down and looks back.

“Oh, Zeto! Are you here? You’re…”

Amon was quite large.

He’s not as tall as me, but he’s taller and I could see the muscles twitching in his forearms.

“It’s called Jangsan. The academic…”

“Zetto, how long have you been at the academy and have you already made friends?”

“hahahaha, it was a dance to strengthen friendship.”

“Ah… Strangely familiar, someone said… Isn’t it the martial arts that jumped at Zeto with great vigour!”

Soon Amon came over to me and patted my back.

“Well, I surrendered right away.”

I smiled shyly as I said that.

“It’s okay. You weren’t the only one who lost to Zeto.”

After Amon said that, he suddenly put his arm around my shoulder and whispered his curse in my ear.

“He’s a good-looking guy, and his personality gets bad when he goes into battle… If you turn a guy like that into an enemy, your life will surely become tiring.”

“I can hear everything. Amon.”

“I’m telling you to listen. Why do you break the bones of children who have been quiet? Rumors have spread now. A nasty guy who breaks the bones of students has come to the academy.”

“I couldn’t do much either. It was a choice to save stamina.”

“Oh… Jangsan, are you broken?”

“I surrendered before I was beaten… No, I did.”

“…You’re wise.”

From what I’ve heard, it seems that Amon has been badly broken by Zeto before.

It was said that they didn’t get along very well in the past, but now the two have become close and seem to have become close friends exchanging harsh words.

“By the way, what were you doing in the new room?”

I asked Amon, who was sweaty on his forehead.

“You can’t tell by looking at it. It’s training.”

“Were you also a martial artist?”

“No, I am a wizard.”

“Wizard?”

“Hmm… I’d rather show you than explain.”

At my question, Zeto chinned Amon.

“Hey, take a good look.”

Soon after, Amon pointed to a spot on the floor of the head of the shrine and raised his finger.

Then, a hollow and sharp lump of earth rose from the ground of the head of the shrine.

“Oh…! Is this the ‘magic’ of the West?”

“Keuheum, it’s earth magic.”

“By the way, Amon is a member of the Caligus family, famous for earth magic.”

“…Were you a high-ranking person?”

“Never mind. The academy doesn’t discriminate against status.”

As he spat out the honorific, Amon waved his hand.

“I found it while wandering around the school building because my body was itchy. Is it a place where outsiders are not allowed to come?”

“Well, it’s not like that… It’s a place that other students don’t use often. Rather, could you explain why you invited me to a place like this?”

I asked Jeto while forcing myself to speak softly at their words to let go.

Then, Zeto, who had been sniffing the iron smell from the tools of the new leader, opened his mouth.

“You need to train here to become strong.”

“Training… This is a place for training in foreign affairs…”

Unfortunately, they didn’t seem to know much about martial arts in the East.

The texture of the inner and outer holes is very different.

I don’t deal with foreign affairs.

I never learned it in the first place.

Therefore, there will be nothing I can get out of the Shinjang.

The moment I thought about how to explain this.

I remembered what he said to me.

“I can’t believe I’m learning wrong…”

“Did you notice now? Jangsan, your muscles and bones are different from others.”

“Muscles and bones on a different level…? Let’s see…”

Soon after Jeto’s words, Amon carefully examines my body.

“Ohhh… Ohhh…! Quoooh!”

Amon’s exclamation grew louder as he touched my arms and legs.

It was a very burdensome task, but I did not intend to lightly listen to the words of a strong man who easily defeated the students who were said to be the best in the school building.

This is an opportunity.

In other words, I thought it was a delay.

“Jangsan, have you ever exercised separately?”

Amon asked.

“Usually, I tended to help my father with the farming… If I needed to work hard in the village, I would step in.”

“Farming… Interesting. Interesting. Zeto, it seems that your feeling is not wrong this time.

“Isn’t it? I’m just amazed by the way I look at people.”

“…”

I tilted my head, unable to comprehend the meaning of Jeto’s words as he tapped on the bandage.

Then Amon answers me instead.

“It’s a masochistic joke he usually makes, so you don’t have to worry about that either.”

“Aha…”

“There is also a joke that uses a prosthetic arm as an extra, would you like to hear it?”

Jetto removed the glove from his left hand and wiggled his metal fingers.

He seemed to have lost his left arm, though I don’t know what happened to him.

“…I will decline.”

I looked at the prosthetic arm for the first time in real life with curious eyes, but I looked away in case it was rude.

“Anyway, we’ve been talking for a while…”

Then, Jetto went on to explain what he felt about me.

As it turned out, he had some knowledge about martial arts in the East.

It may be difficult to confirm with the naked eye right away, but Jeto said that I was born with the muscles and bones that can be great with external work.

So, instead of wasting time learning nonsense internal skills, you should learn external skills right away.

After hearing all of Jeto’s explanations, I muttered to myself.

“For some reason, I was attracted to foreign work…”

I felt like slapping the cheek of the teacher who stopped me.

***

“Jin Yeoryeong.”

“…”

“Jin Yeoryeong.”

“…”

“Hey!”

“… Huh?”

Only then did Jin Yeo-ryeong respond to Dang Sa-hye’s cry. But the head still did not turn.

“Ugh…”

Dangsahui with her arms crossed let out a sigh, and she slowly went on to examine the condition of her Qin Yeoryeong.

Empty eyes.

A hand that never stops shaking.

Even a sigh that comes out when you forget.

Yeo-ryeong Jin, who seemed insane even at first glance, focused her eyes on the bladeless sword lying on the cloth, leaving only the hilt.

“If you just stare at it like that, the sword can be fixed?”

“…Sahye.”

“Ugh, huh?”

“What should I really do…? Can I go back to the main mountain? The sword that Jang Moon-in treasured…”

“You didn’t break it.”

“You didn’t even win the match, you lost…”

“It was fortunate that it was raining. If it had been a real battle, it would have blown its neck.”

“……”

At the words of Dang Sa-hye, Jin Yeo-ryeong’s head, which was already down, went down even further, to the point of falling down.

“Haa… So what do you want to do? Ask me to pass on the sword? Was it a weapon?”

“Don’t make me a shameless soldier.”

“Then tell me the answer. Are you going to be like that all day?”

“The sword is broken… And nothing is gained. I am a fortuneteller’s disgrace.”

“He’s really… Is there anything he can’t say given that he was given a sword by a master at that age?

“But… How did it break…?”

“What do you mean? It was only broken, so it must have broken. Didn’t you see that person, spear, sword, and human bone, all of which were destroyed? It has already been given a nickname. ‘The Crusher’.”

“Crusher…”

“Looks like he’s already making a name for himself in the West. They say he’s an exile or a returner. Anyway, I heard he died and then came back to life?”

“Dead and alive…?”

“He died while fighting a goblin, but he came back to life after a few days. I think it’s probably like a parable. Why do great people make up plausible stories throughout their lives?”

“A goblin…? He was a great person. Much better than the shame of a fortune teller like me.”

Jin Yeo-ling lowered her head again.

“Hey, Yeoryeong Jin.”

“Sahye, actually.”

“…What is it?”

“The sword is not the problem.”

“Is there a bigger problem than that disastrous sword?”

As if unable to understand Jin’s words, Hye of the company pointed to the sword that had only the hilt left.

In response, Jin Yeo-ryeong groaned and closed her eyes tightly.

“Will you listen seriously?”

“I’m listening.”

“Yes… I…”

As Hye of Dangsa sits down next to her, Yeo-Ryeong Jin, who rhymed heavily, continues her words.

“…I thought the sword he showed me was beautiful.”

“Why is that?”

Dang Sa-hye asked in a flustered manner.

She could follow Zeto and Jin Yeo-ryeong’s dance with her eyes. It was thanks to her watching Yeoryeong Jin’s four-day swordsmanship by her side every time.

It was definitely beautiful.

Especially, the last sword that broke Qin Yeo-ling’s sword was a curve that was like a graceful and irregular art.

“Isn’t that a bit different from the four-day sword method…”

Lady Qin wiggled her fingers around.

Dang Sang-hye finally realized what it meant and said, “Ah.” It made a sound.

“…Yeo-ryeong.”

“Yes.”

“Training is prohibited for the time being. It seems that Shimma is caught.”

“Eh…?”

“And don’t worry too much about the sword. It could be like that if you do a sword dance. Even a master craftsman will understand.”

With those words, Dang Dang Hye stood up from her seat.

“Sahye, where are you going all of a sudden?”

“I’m going to delete my friend’s heart. Why?”

“You want to meet him?”

“Well, I personally have a question.”

“Wait! Sahye! Sahye?!”

Despite Jin Yeo-ryeong’s urgent call, Dang Dang-hye’s legs did not stop.

“Okay? You must never practice.”

Dang Sang-hye closed the door with a smile.

‘It’s time to look around the school building for a while.’

She went out looking for Jeto, who was not sure where she was.

She said that to Yeoring Jin, but the purpose of her wisdom was different.

‘I just needed September flowers.’

The nine-wol painting that Jeto received as her prize after winning the bimu competition was used for the poison she wanted to make.

After a while, Sang-sa Hye, who set out to find Je-to, ran into a group of female students from the academy.

According to Hye’s memories of her party, they were a group of people who used to cheat on Jeto.

Dang Sang-hye approached them carefully and asked.

“Hey, aren’t you academy cadets?”

“Yes, that’s right. What are you doing?”

“I’m called Dang Sang-hye of the school building. That’s why I’m looking for someone…”

Our company Hye announced that she was looking for Jeto in the most polite way possible.

After that, the answer that came back from them was this.

“Are you looking for us too?”

“Yes…?”

“Zetto always disappears somewhere quietly! Nobody knows!”

Among her party, a cute woman with bluish hair was proudly boasting.

“Ah…”

Of course, it wasn’t something to brag about with a big smile like that.
