I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 303

303. Howel, what do you mean? (1)

An official of Sakwol Dojo, located at the historical site of what would later be called Seocho-ryang’s Rebellion, was injured and collapsed while waiting for help when he witnessed an amazing scene.

His eyes were on the blind swordsman behind him.

It was a fact that no one could deny that he, known as Jayue’s disciple, was standing at the center of the battlefield.

That’s because the young black-haired blind man was not fighting against ordinary dead people, but five dead people who were estimated to be generals.

He seemed to be struggling, but somehow he was holding on.

Until the powerful energy erupted from the blind man’s body.

First of all, the movements of the dead people facing him were very strange. They bowed their heads politely as if saluting the king, and from then on they no longer moved from their seats or attacked the blind man.

The blind man with his sword raised slowly walked through the battlefield.

No one blocked his path, as if time had suddenly stopped.

The place the blind man finally arrived was in front of Seochoryang.

Even though he was just an official watching this, he was vaguely aware that this incident was related to Seochoryang.

This was right after the blind man brought his sword down in front of Seo Cho-ryang.

It was that moment.

A deafening roar rang out.

After that, an unbelievable scene unfolded before the official’s eyes.

ㅡQuad! Quad Deuk!!!

The white-bone soldier who was approaching the official was literally torn to pieces, and at the same time, all the white bones on the battlefield began to crumble for the same reason.

It was not too late to realize that the loud noise that suddenly ripped through my ears was the sound of the white bones of the dead being shattered by the red sword light of unknown cause.

The official could not keep his mouth shut at the sight of hundreds of white bones that had not thought of falling no matter how many times they were cut down and cut down, all at once being shattered by the red sword light that suddenly appeared in the air.

A red flower blooming brilliantly.

There was no way to know who made the red flower bloom, but the circumstances all pointed to only one person.

The blind man’s sword that the official was watching had a red blade with a mysterious energy.

And the eyes of those on the battlefield who witnessed that strange scene were implicitly focused on him.

The official carefully guessed that this might have been done by the blind swordsman known as ‘Jiyue’s disciple and lover.’

At a young age, the blind swordsman reached the point where he could wield a deep sword, known as the ultimate in swordsmanship.

That wasn’t the end.

The moment when all of a sudden, white bones were shattered and mysterious words came out here and there on the battlefield.

A huge flash of light fell from the sky.

‘Lightning’ fell from the night sky, where not a single drop of rain was falling.

The thunderbolt, which made the official squint his eyes, struck in front of the blind man’s eyes, to be exact, towards Seo Cho-ryang, who was sitting in front of him.

Those who were watching this must have chanted the same words with one heart and one voice.

“Heavenly punishment…”

It is said that heaven punished a heinous sinner on his behalf.

Following the flash of light, the sky rang loudly.

At the same time, the shouts of victory that were heard filled the officials’ ears.

Whether it was true heavenly punishment, magic handled by humans in the West, or whatever it was, the ruler would never forget the sight he encountered that night for the rest of his life.

I had to get rid of the malefic quality.

That was the content of the quest.

But will Seo Cho-ryang be able to receive the judgment of Sang Tae-chang that he has ‘removed the evil character’ by going into prison like this?

I needed confidence.

But there was no justification.

No matter how much trouble I caused, the opponent was the king’s uncle, and I was just an academy cadet who had nothing to do with Wolguk.

There could have been various controversies for me to cut off his head myself.

So I chose a way to get rid of him without my hands.

In any case, it was inevitable to cast 3 cards in order to clear the battlefield, and it was decided that the 3-shot penalty would be enough of a ‘device’ to mislead others who did not know this.

It required a high level of concentration to attack and cut down more than a hundred skeleton knights in one go, but it wasn’t a big problem for me, who had surpassed the limit with only 4 pieces of force.

Thanks to this, we were able to end the incident before the number of injured increased.

My eyes crinkle at the unpleasant odor.

The stench coming from the body of Seo Cho-ryang, whose entire body had been charred golden brown after being struck by lightning, was not the mouth-watering smell one would smell when grilling meat.

I was sitting with my back against a nearby tree and taking a break.

[ Disciple, are you okay?! ]

Sierra grabs my face and shakes it.

The reason she stumbled before leaning against the tree was simply because the status window was beeping loudly and she was distracted, but it seems she thought I had lost my mind as she watched.

Although others may not know, she must have deserved it because she listened to every single word of determination that came out of her mouth.

But right now, I didn’t know anything about this phenomenon. I just assume it has something to do with the progress of the status window.

[ Disciple, disciple…? ]

Sierra’s worries continue once again.

“……”

I frowned and shook my head.

Nevertheless, my eyes were always focused on the status window.

Various notifications were blocking my view, ranging from level increase to rewards obtained through quests.

[ Invoke the Five Stars – Lv.MAX ]

In the meantime, I clicked my tongue after reading the skills obtained as progress rewards.

Just by looking at that simple sentence, you can get a rough idea of what kind of skill it is. Even at first glance, it was a skill that seemed difficult to display in front of others.

‘I wonder why everything I get is like this…’

Even if it is the same as the sword ‘Sierra’, it is a spirit of darkness, and even summons the ghosts of old heroes buried in history.

The performance is certain, but the concern was that I couldn’t use it as I wanted.

At that time, while listening to Sierra’s worried nagging, Yuri was wondering how much his level had risen.

Someone is talking to me next to me.

“Cadet Zeto, are you okay…?”

As soon as I heard her voice, the first thought I had was, ‘Have my lips and tongue completely escaped Baek Cheon-gyeol’s control?’

Dark pink hair that looks like a living peach blossom. Pigtails tied on both sides were her trademark.

“……”

The moment my mouth opened, I immediately covered it with my hand. I thought it was okay because it was quiet, but it seems the aftereffects were still lingering.

“Cadet Zeto…?”

At this, Kaen’s bluish eyes look at me and her head tilts.

“……”

I stood up with my mouth tightly shut and hurriedly left.

“My…”

Soon, Kaen’s outstretched hand turns toward me, but she loses her strength and falls down.

The battle had just ended and I felt like I wanted to relieve the stress, but I couldn’t do that, at least not right away.

‘I don’t know what Baek Cheon-gyeol will say…’

It was because she felt that nothing good would come of her opening her mouth, as she did not know how much she knew and what she knew when she came with Wolyounghoe.

Meanwhile, there was a man who was alternately looking at Zeto, who was avoiding her seat while covering her mouth, and Kaen, who remained blankly in his seat and lowered her head.

‘I thought I had regained my memories…’

It was Yeo Mu-hong, the vice president of the Wolyeonghoe.

Jeto, the blind man with black hair seen over there, was believed to be the reincarnation of Baek Cheon-gyeol, the conqueror king who is called the true moon of the Yue Kingdom.

And with this battle, that guess has become even more certain.

But for some reason, Baek Cheon-gyeol’s reincarnation appears to be openly avoiding Baek Do-hwa’s reincarnation.

This was impossible considering their relationship. Yeo Mu-hong, who was able to read Baek Tao-hwa’s diary with the authority of vice president, knew better than anyone else how special their relationship was.

‘The memories of both may not be perfect, but…’

Yeo Muhong, who had guessed what was the cause of the uncomfortable air current between the two, frowned at the headache.

He spoke with Howell briefly before coming here. It was a story about the reincarnation of Baek Cheon-gyeol.

‘Vice Lord, I think I have found Baek Cheon-gyeol’s reincarnation.’

‘The reincarnation of Baek Cheon-gyeol…? Is that really true? ‘Didn’t you say that it might take some time?’

‘There’s only him… There’s only him…’

Unlike usual, Howell was restless and biting her nails. Even at first glance, the condition was not very good.

‘Calm down and talk slowly about what happened.’

‘I… Seem to have committed a mortal sin against the Lord. No, I wonder if my death can be an apology. I guess it’s okay now…?’

Eventually, Ha-wol lost her senses, and Yeo Mu-hong managed to stop her from strangling herself.

In the end, we couldn’t find out what happened, but considering what had happened before, we were able to infer what might have happened between Howell and Jetto.

Didn’t Ha-wol previously disparage Jeto, calling him simply a womanizer and a libertine, and claimed that he couldn’t be the reincarnation of Baek Cheon-gyeol?

Ha-wol had reported to Yeo Mu-hong that special measures had been taken to ensure that the libertine would no longer touch Lord Hoe.

‘I guess you didn’t turn him into an enemy…?’

Yeo Muhong closed his eyes tightly, considering the worst.

Considering the current situation, it is presumed that Zeto is not only the reincarnation of Baekcheon-gyeol, but also a strong man who has awakened the ‘Sword of the Heart’.

Not only would there be no good in turning such a strong man into an enemy, but it was unthinkable for the Wolyeonghoe, who guarded the ‘King of Conquest’, to turn the ‘King of Conqueror’ into an enemy.

Yu Muhong sighed and muttered to himself.

‘Howell, what on earth have you done…’
