I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 252

252. East, Cheonseon Academy (17)

Wui Zihan, head of the Tianxian Academy.

In order to find out how he came to join the Blood Bridge, we had to go back a little farther in the past.

The day when the main mountain of the Volcano Sect was stained with fresh blood that was darker and redder than plum blossoms.

The disciple of the Volcano Sect, Jahan, was also there.

Jahan woke up after tossing and turning nonstop from the nightmare that came to him the night before, and could smell his eyebrows furrowed.

Dense smell of blood, and eccentric smoke pouring in from somewhere.

‘Is this…?’

He was able to notice before it was too late that his room was surrounded by a strange film of drops of blood.

As Jahan quickly raised his sword and opened the curtain, what caught his eyes was nothing but the headquarter, which was engulfed in flames.

Raid.

The volcanic wave was under attack.

“…”

Coming out into the hallway, Jahan choked on the smoke and opened his mouth to ask for help, but immediately shut it.

In front of his eyes was a horrifying scene unfolding.

Jahan walked down the hallway, spattering his blood and slowly examining the faces of those who had fallen.

Among them were disciples who were alumni with him.

All of them were torn to shreds, unable to close their eyes.

“……”

At the end of the hallway, where the ceiling was crashing down with a crackling sound, Jahan turned his head blankly.

I knew instinctively.

That the curtain that surrounded his room was protecting him.

Since Jahan had never shared affection with others in the first place, there was no reason for his feet to be tied there.

Jahan, who had stumbled over three corpses with each step, climbed the stairs of the main mountain as if possessed.

It must have been because the further he went upwards, the thicker the smell of his blood.

In the end, Jahan stepped on the last step and met his eyes.

“Death penalty…?”

The man who was stepping on the long leader of the Volcano Sect was his brother-in-law, Gu Hui, who had disappeared several years ago.

Goo Hwi looked at him calmly and smiled.

“Jahan is here.”

A friendly smile as always, yet somehow you can feel the coldness of it.

“It’s late. I’ve been waiting for you. Did you sleep well?”

ㅡPoo-wook!

Gu Hui, who pulled out the sword that had been stuck in the body of Jang Mun-in, slowly approached Ja-han.

Jahan didn’t even feel the need to step back, so he stood still with his entire body frozen.

Perhaps it was natural.

Jahan was not foolish enough to resist or try to run away when he saw the body of Jang Mun-in in front of his eyes.

Everything was meaningless in the face of overwhelming force.

“The death penalty… Obviously fell down a cliff…”

I was just curious about Jahan.

I wonder why Gu Hui, who was said to be missing but was certain to have died after falling off a cliff, was able to come back alive and destroy the volcano.

“It’s true that he fell. If he hadn’t found the secret weapon next to the blood demon’s white bone right before he died, he would have changed his name.”

“Blood Demon…? Perhaps the brother-in-law…”

“The hex? Jahan, you sound funny. Didn’t that sorcery save your brother-in-law’s life?”

Guhui came right in front of Jahan and thrust a sword into his neck.

“I guess you don’t like it. If so, would you cut off the ‘Disgrace of the Volcano’ with your own hands?”

Gu Hui then took the sword that had been thrust into Jahan’s neck and lowered it, then placed the sword in Jahan’s hand.

“Now, how about this?”

Then, not minding the cut on his palm, he grabbed the blade and brought it to his pale, bloodless neck.

Blood leaked from Guhwi’s throat, which was crushed by the blade, and flowed down the blade.

If Jahan, who was holding the sword, exerted his strength and moved his arm even slightly, Gu Hui’s head would be severed right away.

“……”

But Jahan didn’t move his arm.

No, he wants to move. He can’t move.

Jahan, who felt the gap with Guhwi, did not have the courage to do so.

“…Why did you let me live?”

Guhwi raised the corner of his mouth at Jahan’s question as he slowly lowered his sword.

“Because I believed you would make this choice.”

Soon after, Gu Hui turned his back and continued his words as he walked toward the corpse of Jang Mun-in.

“Haven’t I told you over and over that Jahan doesn’t suit Hwasan? He’s clever and quick to calculate, but his temperament is different from Hwasan’s pursuit of elegance.”

Soon, standing in front of Jang Moon-in’s corpse, Gu Hwi grabs his arm.

From noble mtl dot com

“But that’s why I can climb higher.”

ㅡ Wood Deuk!

Jahan closed his eyes at the strange sound that followed.

“Take it. You will need it.”

Gu Hui threw his ripped off arm at Jahan.

“……”

Jahan opened his mouth in amazement and showed Guhwi his eyes asking for an explanation.

“Shouldn’t you also have something to say? It’s to avoid suspicion from the Murim Meng, so take care of it.”

“An arm for that one…?”

Goo Hui did not answer Jahan’s question and put his hand into Jang Moonin’s body.

Then what came out of Guhwi’s hands covered in blood was none other than his heart.

ㅡ Crunchy…

Instantly, Gu Hui gobbled up the heart he was holding, and then a grotesque scene unfolded of his ripped off arm growing anew.

“Don’t worry. To me right now, an arm is of no value… More than that, Jahan has a job for you to do for me. Can you please this ugly brother-in-law’s request?”

“……”

Jahan nodded his head wordlessly.

It was the day that the volcano’s apricot swordsman became a monster.

The news of the extinction of the Volcano faction signaled the resurrection of blood demons and the reconstruction of blood ties.

Wei Zihan, the only survivor of the annihilated Huashan Sect, was found with a serious injury and clutching one of the Blood Demon’s arms.

Since then, Wei Zihan has learned the season of the Huashan Sect that remained at the head mountain without a teacher.

It didn’t make any sense now, but it could have been possible because Wii Zihan was surprisingly talented in martial arts.

As time goes by, Wei Zihan, who has become an absolute master, has to make a questionable choice.

He coveted the position of head of the Cheonseon Academy, which was vacant at the right time, rather than rebuilding the Hwasan faction.

Though the Murim Meng had some doubts about this, they highly valued Wii Zihan’s ability to reach a high level with self-study alone, and eventually appointed him as the head of the Cheonseon Academy.

I didn’t even know that everything in the series, including the extinction of the Volcano Sect, was the plan of the blood demon and Wei Zihan.

The Demon Beast of the Blood Bridge was slowly encroaching on the entire East, along with the Murim League and the Patriots.

And their fruition was just around the corner.

“Governor… Sir?”

“…How far did it go?”

Wai Zihan, who belatedly woke up from his flashback at the teacher’s call, raised his eyebrows.

They were currently having a meeting about the academic schedule.

“Yes, the academy has objected that it is too dangerous to enter Mt. Yosu. We told them that we had similar thoughts.”

“So, is there an alternative? We’re just guests anyway, so we’ll leave this joint training up to the judge’s discretion.”

Edward, who was knocking on the desk in the conference room, shrugged.

“Does that mean it doesn’t matter if it’s the school’s way?”

“hahahaha, sure.”

“It might bleed a little.”

What Wii Zihan is aiming for is the completion of the Thousand Peninsula.

Unexpectedly, due to an unexpected turn of events, the completion was delayed, and an appropriate ‘event’ was needed to obtain blood that met the tricky conditions of the Cheonbando.

There was a joint training between the academy and the academy, and since it was a gathering of vigorous warriors, it was natural to get injured depending on the content of the training.

“Well, our medical officer will hate it, but what can we do? Since we came to the East, we must follow the laws of the East.”

“hehehehe, by the way, I’m sorry for the delay. We were also busy coming up with alternatives urgently.”

“It’s okay. While I was waiting, the cadet who was receiving treatment returned safely.”

“Are you talking about Cadet Zeto?”

“…”

Edward nodded at Ouija Han’s question.

“It’s a good thing. Thanks to you, the quality of training will be higher.”

The corner of his mouth raised his lips in line with Edward’s sinister smile.

“So… I think Zeto-san should try his best…!”

After finishing the explanation, Lucia lowered her head and put her palms together.

The gist was this.

This time, ‘Capture the Flag’ is a joint training between the cadets of the academy and the students of the academy.

The words are a joint training, but it is classified as a test for the students of the academy and they are given grades separately.

It was already a familiar ‘capture the flag’ for the students of the academy, and the students on the other side were expected to do their best.

I slowly looked at each member of the team.

Aside from the students and cadets whose names I didn’t know, a few people who knew the faces caught my eye.

“If you don’t get good grades in this exam, aren’t you really getting kicked out…?”

A long mountain that is of no help except for getting beaten up by just getting a secret foreign service.

“The sword…”

Jin Yeo-ryeong of the fortune-telling group had to fight with an unfamiliar sword as a substitute because her sword was broken before.

“……”

Namgung Un-yeon, who is naturally weak, will never pull out his sword unless it is tolerable.

“This is delicious.”

Crank is eating rice cakes from unknown sources.

“Ehehehe…”

And even the cheek-scratching ‘Just Lucia’.

It felt like only those who could not help were gathered together. If there is anything else our team members have in common other than that, they believe in me wholeheartedly.

“Zetto-san can do it…!”

“That, yes… If you…”

“Jetto! I believe in you!”

It seems that he doesn’t even think that he will be burdened.

The only person I can trust…

“How about it? The two of us are enough?”

…There was only Eisel.

Except for her, the rest of her, Kaen, Yuri and Amon, Orpheel, and others who could serve more than one person, all belonged to the opposing group.

“Are there any other risk factors I should be aware of? Like the characteristics of the place.”

But I could see why the groups were organized this way. It must have been the breath of the academy instructors.

In response to my question, Jangsan opened his mouth.

“Ah, true… I guess you need to explain. This is a place called Ungwi Valley. As the name suggests, it’s a valley where clouds stay, so there are many restrictions on the field of view.”

“I see.”

Actually, there was no need for an explanation, but since there are so many eyes to see, wouldn’t it be better to be natural?

“It was not used as a place to capture the flag because it was difficult to identify friends, but it seems that the influence of Yosusan was controlled.”

Jin Yeoryeong explained, looking at the thick clouds blocking her eyes with her eyes wide open.

“Then what is a ghost?”

“Sometimes there are rumors that you can see ghosts…”

“It’s a ghost…”

[ …… ]

The real ghost is tilting his head in front of me and making a cute face.

I think I know what Yui Zihan is aiming for.

Anyway, it seems that ‘uninvited guests’ calling for blood will appear in this Unguigok.

“…”

I turned my head and saw more than 30 people who were waiting impatiently for me to say something.

“Okay then, let’s go.”

“Zetto-san, what about the strategy…?!”

“I don’t think I really need a strategy. After hearing the explanation, I think I can understand it roughly.”

“What, what…?”

“So… In this Unguigok, everyone but me is blind, isn’t it?”

Ironically, I was the only one with my eyes open here.

In other words, even if Wii Zihan chose the wrong place to play tricks, he chose the wrong one for a long time.
