I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 243

243. Dongbang, Cheonseon Academy (8)

“Hmm… A man who wears seven swords…? Ah, I met him! I met him at Giru the other day.”

The man with the belly sticking out clapped his hands.

Keraph, who was asking him a question, opened his mouth.

“Then maybe…”

“Ah, but I don’t really remember this because I drank too much yesterday…”

Then suddenly a man scratching his head.

Keraf smiled at the obvious lie and took out a golden ruler from his bosom.

“Has your hair ever been this golden?”

Soon after, the troubled expression on the man’s face disappeared as if washed away by a waterfall, and he quickly snatched Geumja.

“Kheum, I think I can remember.”

The man who was examining Geumja close to his eyes with a satisfied smile continued.

“It’s golden… Yes, it certainly was. Besides, he was dark-skinned, probably because he had burned his flesh in the scorching sun of Hwaguk, and he was a very impressive man with bloody red eyes that looked as if he had killed a person. Because I knew it wasn’t.”

Keraf, who was holding his chin, organized the information.

Blonde, red eyes.

Dark skin tanned by the sun.

A man who wears seven swords around his waist.

The ‘urethra collector’ that Keraf was looking for seemed certain.

He and Volk followed Jeto’s orders and were conducting an investigation into a urethral collector in a city in the patriotic country near the academy.

“Ah, but there were eight swords.”

“Eight sacks?”

“Yeah. Not seven.”

“Didn’t you see it wrong because you were drunk? It’s pretty important.”

“Don’t make me an idiot who can’t even count. After all, I’m a person who buys and sells things and touches money.”

“Hmm… Eight swords…”

In the meantime, the number has increased.

This was bad news for Keraf, so I naturally frowned.

On the other hand, Volk, who was standing behind Keraf, was just eating the grilled fish on the skewer with a calm face.

“I’ve never seen him around here like you guys, so I got interested and pretended to be drunk and asked him a question. Why do you carry so many swords around? Are you trying to sell swords?”

“Then what did they say?”

“They said they weren’t selling it, they were all swords they were using themselves. Then they said that there was only one left. I don’t know what that means, but I was happy to see a good sword, so I went for a drink. I thought you came.”

“It’s a good sword… I don’t know where he’s heading after…”

“It looks like I heard the destination, but…”

As the man slurred, Keraf immediately took a gold coin from his bosom and snapped his fingers.

-Ting!

A gold coin caught in a man’s hand with a clear sound.

“Khehehe! You know how to give money, and I don’t know how to make money. It’s a quick talk. I heard that I’m going to Cheonseon Academy. I don’t know why.”

“…Thanks for the info.”

“Yeah. Be careful on the way. It’s a town that doesn’t like strangers very much.”

“Don’t worry about that.”

“…Young guys these days are very polite…”

“Volk, let’s go.”

As soon as he revealed his destination, Keraf quickly finished the conversation and left the alleyway with Volk.

“Hey, you know. Didn’t I give you too much money?”

Volk, who had just finished eating all the grilled fish and was spinning the skewer in his hand, asked Keraf.

“It’s okay. I had to give you the money to finish the conversation quickly. And you’ll get it back soon anyway.”

“Hey, did the turtle notice? That fat man smelled so much blood that the fish ran out of flavor.”

“Well, I found a wrapping cloth with human heads piled up inside the building he came out of on my own. It looks like they are trying to find and sell human heads… At least I didn’t lie.”

The person they just talked to was a broker who was commissioned to specialize in assassination, working in the underworld of the patriotic nation.

Soon after, Volk, who had been sniffing, opened his mouth.

From noble mtl dot com

“There are already a few behind us. Shall we deal with them?”

“…Finish it as quickly as possible and get your money back as long as it’s like this.”

“Nothing special. It’ll be over soon.”

Volk immediately turned around and waved a long skewer without looking back.

Keraph, who was leaning his head on one side of the alley, was lost in thought while waiting for Volk.

‘The Collector must be aiming for Mr. Jeto.’

I don’t know how the urethra collector used it, but I noticed that Zeto had a urethra. Then he left for the Cheonseon Academy where Jeto was.

‘There’s no way he’s a student, he’s just visiting as a tourist, so maybe we can meet him on the way.’

Soon, along with a commotion from the other side of the dark alley, I hear the sound of something sharp piercing my flesh.

ㅡPoo-wook!

“What!”

“Watch out!”

ㅡPoo-wook!

“Kreak…”

ㅡPoo-wook!

ㅡ Flutter!

Keraph didn’t pay attention to the sound and continued organizing and combining information. It was because Volk seemed to be doing his job well just by listening to it.

‘When nine swords come together… What happens…?’

The question reached after collecting and organizing the information showed no signs of being resolved.

There was too little information.

However, there was not enough time to investigate further. Since his next destination was set at Cheonseon Academy, he had to inform Zeto of this fact as soon as possible.

“Tsk…”

Keraph clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Then he turned his head to the sound of footsteps coming from the other side of him.

“I got a refund.”

Volk smiles as he presents two gold coins stained with red blood.

“…I don’t even want to ask where the skewers went.”

“Of course…”

“It must have been stuck in a lump of cold flesh from an unknown watering can. Okay, the situation is urgent, so let’s hurry.”

So Volk and Keraf left for the Cheonseon Academy.

As soon as the day dawns, they will be able to get a tour ticket to Sky Island, where Cheonseon Academy is located.

No, I had to.

Until the barrier of Cheonseon Gakkan was broken during the same time period and a group of monsters invaded the academy.

***

It was around the time the first day of the Innocence Academy’s cadets arrived at the academy, before Keraf and Volk sought information on the Yodo Collector’s next destination.

After secretly escaping from the inn, Jeto was walking alone in a forest dappled with moonlight.

The mountain road was densely covered with trees, so it was completely dark, but ‘darkness’ was not a big problem for Jeto.

After walking through the forest for a long time, Jeto reached out his hand into the air.

[ It’s a barrier. ]

Sierra said that while examining the intangible energy that touched Zeto’s hand.

“…Yes, it’s been quite a while and my strength has weakened.”

As she said, it wasn’t a place he was allowed to go in front of where the barrier was installed.

[ Certainly… ]

“Do you remember the last time you went to the North?”

[ Don’t remember. Even at the time, I was worried that you might have gone crazy because of the spirit of her original daughter, but at that time, she didn’t even know. I never thought the day would come when the tears of the dead would really be used. ]

“…Not just that. Things I did on the scouting team.”

[ Ah, it left a deep impression on me, so stop. ]

“I used to make sure the barriers were working properly.”

[ I don’t know which guy in the school building is in charge of this barrier, but it seems certain that he is more lazy than the northern scout team. ]

“That’s right. Because of the laziness of that unknown person, this barrier will soon be broken.”

[Your voice is full of confidence. ]

“hahahaha, when was the last time I spoke nonsense.”

[ So… Are you saying you’re going to block the beasts who escaped the barrier in the middle of the night alone? ]

“Think of it as training, well.”

[ Still, wouldn’t it be better to call someone? ]

“I meant to, but she didn’t have to. Leave it to her to ask for her support.”

[ She? ]

Sierra questioned Zeto’s answer as he turned her head behind her while looking at her barrier.

“……”

But Jeto keeps his mouth shut without giving any other answer.

Sierra soon found out why.

As Jeto retraced the forest path he had walked, he saw a doll in the distance.

[ The author is a fortune teller… ]

Sierra, who caught sight of her, slurred her words.

Jin Yeoryeong of the fortune teller group.

For some reason, she was secretly following Zeto.

Soon, Jeto, who was standing in front of the barrier, spoke first.

“Have you ever lost your way like me? Miss Yeoryeong.”

It was only then that Jin Yeo-ryeong, who decided that there was no point in killing the enemy, took a step closer to Jeto.

“…You have very good senses.”

“Since you are blind, shouldn’t your ears and nose be good too?”

“…I’m not lost. I happened to find you heading somewhere while taking a walk, so I wanted to talk to you…”

“Maybe…”

“……”

As Jeto blurted out her words after a meaningful word, Yeoryeong Jin swallowed her saliva for no reason.

“…Was it a precious sword?”

“Ah… Actually, it wasn’t an ordinary sword, it was a sword given to me by Master Jang, but it’s okay. I didn’t come here to talk about that.”

“Are you a man of longevity…?”

Zeto’s mouth widens at the unexpected fact.

[ Now, the long master’s sword… ]

Sierra’s reaction was no different.

The two couldn’t contain their shock because they knew very well what it meant to those who were involved in the Munpa.

“Ahahahaha… It’s really okay. After all, it’s because I’m lacking.”

“I’m really sorry.”

“No. I was the one who said it was an ordinary sword. Rather than that, I came here because I have something I need to tell you.”

“What is that?”

“The Namgung Family… Namgung Sehwi is targeting you. From what I’ve heard, it sounds like he’s aiming for a time to take an exam together…”

“Ah… Namgoongse…”

After that, a moment of silence came.

“”……””

After a moment of silence, it was Jeto who opened his mouth.

“…Are you finished?”

“It’s over…?”

“Okay.”

“Yes…?!”

Jin Yeo-ryeong reacts more surprised to Jeto’s calm voice.

“Why is that?”

“Ah, don’t you know what kind of place Namgung family is?”

“You know that.

“Namgung Sehwi is a promising latecomer who has been designated as the successor of the Namgung family. I know that your skills are extraordinary, but I think you should be careful. I don’t know if I’ll write it.”

“Hmm… I see.”

“If you can’t handle swordsmanship, even the King’s sword type he is learning may feel daunting.”

“Because he’s the King’s sword brother… It won’t be easy.”

Jetto nodded.

But there was no sincerity.

“…”

Noticing that, Lady Qin scratched her head, wondering if she was worrying for nothing.

It was then.

ㅡ Kreurre…

Suddenly, the growl of a monster came from a corner of the forest.

Two large, black-maned wild dog-like beasts were dripping from behind Zeto.

“…It’s an ironclad. It’s hard to cut through its hard hide if you’re not a swordsman, but it should be fine since it has a barrier.”

“For some reason I couldn’t go any further.”

“But it’s strange… You can only meet ironclads halfway up the mountain…”

At the same time as Qin Yeoryeong raised her doubts, a steelclad langur released her foot and moved toward Jeto.

“Oh… The barrier…”

Soon after, as Ironclad passed the barrier unhindered, Jin Yeo-ryeong’s eyes trembled violently, expecting to see him collide with the barrier.

‘He can’t handle swordsmanship, so I have to step in…’

Jin Yeoryeong hurriedly reached out to her waist.

But I couldn’t hold the sword.

Unfortunately, she hadn’t found a replacement for the broken sword yet.

ㅡ Kreureuk!!!

The Ironclad Rang rushes at Zeto, scattering spittle.

“Avoid!!”

Accident after accident, Jin Yeo-ryung removed her blind cadet’s head just before it was bitten off by the Yosu.

At the same time, a question is engraved in her head.

‘Why are you standing still?’

From noble mtl dot com

It was because Jeto was not taking a single step despite the fact that there was an ample explanation and that his life was in a critical situation.

Jetto just calmly smiled at her and continued the conversation he had been having with her.

“I once heard about Namgung’s sword.”

With the sound of his voice, red sword light surged behind him.

ㅡQuad Deuk!!

Soon, the head of the Ironclad Rang, who had been rushing at Jeto, was neatly cut off.

“I’ve heard that when the emperor’s sword brother reaches the limit, he slices through the sky and cuts down mountains without moving a single finger.”

For a moment, Qin Yeoring doubted her own eyes.

Zeto’s sword, which had shrugged her shoulders, was still nestled in his waist.

The sword strike was so fast that she couldn’t see it.

Zeto from earlier didn’t even lift a finger, let alone draw his sword.

I could be sure of this because it was Jin Yeoryeong.

Even so, the steel armor’s neck was ripped off.

‘Why…?

The head of Ironclad Rang floated in the air and spun blood all over the place.

‘Could it be that he…?’

The blood of the splattered iron armor splattered even on Jin Yeo-ryeong’s face.

An unpleasant stench and a stinging sensation was transmitted to her skin by the blood of a demon known for its strong acidity.

“Ah…”

Jin Yeo-ryeong’s mouth naturally opens as she couldn’t believe the ‘fact’.

ㅡ Kyaaa!!!

Soon, with her eyes on the death of her colleague, the remaining steelclad rang attacked Jetto again.

ㅡSureung!

In response, Zeto drew out the sword from his waist.

“And according to rumors…”

However, his explanation continued without stopping.

ㅡSuddenly!

Zetto lightly cut off the front leg of the ironclad that had stopped talking and rushed at it.

ㅡ Kood Deuk!!

At this, the ironclad suddenly lost its balance and slipped on the floor.

‘It’s not like I’m wearing a sword…’

It was a series of surprises.

But that wasn’t the end.

It was the time when Zeto, who was looking down at Cheolgaprang, raised his sword in reverse hand toward the sky and opened his mouth again.

“…Namgoong’s sword is so powerful that it opens the sky and drops lightning.”

At that moment, the radiance pouring down from the sky turned the nearby forest white.

Yes.

A lightning strike fell on Zeto’s sword.

ㅡPajijijik!!

Zetto immediately swung the sword that contained the lightning and cut the steel armor lying on the floor.

Ironclad Rang’s body was set on fire with a dazzling electric shock, and Jeto opened her mouth as she turned her head to Jin Yeo-ryeong, who was dumbfounded.

ㅡQuarreung!!!

Then, as Jin Yeo-ryeong heard his voice, the sky resounded loudly.

“Is the rumor true?”
