I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 82

82. open classes (5)

The first day of public instruction passed without incident.

Meanwhile, Saint Bernice was on the verge of visiting a village where a ‘blind acupuncturist’ had visited.

What Bernice found out while investigating the village was that he was called the ‘blind saint’ in this village, and that the village chief had brought him.

So Bernice came to the house of the ‘village chief’.

“…Thomas doesn’t know the details either.”

“Yes. He was such a mysterious person…”

The village chief, a man named Thomas, was a very young and tall-looking man for a village chief.

Talking with him, I had many questions.

First of all, this man named Thomas is not Thomas.

When he introduced himself as Thomas, he knew he was lying.

I wondered if someone else was pretending to be the village chief, but strangely, being the village chief was no lie again.

I think you can use a pseudonym.

There are many people who have a past that they want to hide.

Thomas was a man full of questions.

The luxurious interior of the mansion that caught my eye, and the fact that I have a lot of money, but I am holding the position of the village head in such a small town.

The information about the blind acupuncturist that Thomas spewed out of his mouth was also a mixture of lies and truth.

It was a lie that I had known him when he happened to stop by this town.

Not knowing his name is also a lie.

It was also a lie that I wasn’t close with him.

But it was true that I hadn’t known for a while, and it was also true that I just said I didn’t know the details.

‘What kind of relationship did this result come out?’

It was such a strange relationship that I wondered if my ability was wrong.

However, it was impossible to argue and raise it for telling a lie.

Anyway, through him, I learned the information that the blind acupuncturist had a sword.

Perhaps, it could be seen that the slim possibility that he had defeated the demons in the theater had increased just a little bit.

Wanting to talk to him or wanting to recruit him into the Knights were always my personal thoughts, so I couldn’t recklessly harm others for this.

to him too.

Same for Thomas.

“Saint Maid. I have a question for you. Can I ask you?”

Thomas, who was sitting across from me, put down his teacup and asked me.

I nodded slightly.

Thomas immediately opened his mouth.

“…It’s a shame, but what is the reason you’re looking for him?”

“The reason you are looking for…”

I thought about it while saying that.

Judging by Thomas’ attitude so far, he was deliberately hiding the existence of a blind acupuncturist from me.

Do you think I came to catch him who is called a blind saint?

Or is it simply that he is hiding him because he wants to hide his identity?

It was around the time I was contemplating whether or not to answer.

“Holy Maid.”

Ines, who had left the room for a moment, entered the room again and called for me.

“Saintess, it seems you should visit for a while. I got a call from ‘Sujeonggu’.”

Soon after, Innes approached me, pressed her face into my ear and whispered.

“…Thomas, I have business, so if you have a quiet room, could I borrow it for a while?”

“As much as you like.”

I apologized to Thomas and immediately left the room.

Then Inez, who had been closing the door, opened his mouth.

“I got a call from Ecclin, and he has something urgent to tell the saintess… It’s about a blind acupuncturist.”

“…If it’s Eclean, aren’t you at Innocence Academy right now?”

“Yes. I’m still not quite sure how this happened.”

Vice-captain of the Silver Wing Knights.

I got a call from Ecline.

Why was Ecklen, who should have attended the academy event on my behalf, referring to a blind acupuncturist?

I followed Inès to a quiet room in the mansion.

Innes puts a crystal ball on the table there.

With this small crystal ball, regardless of the distance, if the opponent also had a crystal ball, they could have a conversation through it.

Since it is a very expensive item, there are few of them in the knights, but Ecclin, who was attending the official event instead of me this time, also carried this crystal ball.

It was clear that it was urgent to contact them while using a crystal ball that consumed a huge amount of magic stones each time it was used and recharged.

“Ecclin, are you still there?”

I spoke to the crystal ball.

Soon, the crystal ball made a crackling sound, and Ecclin’s voice was heard.

[Holy Lady…]

Ecclin’s voice was a bit weak, but it showed signs of weariness.

“You seem very tired, did something happen?”

[I’m sorry for worrying all night about whether or not to use the crystal ball… ]

“I have a strong supporter this time, so I have plenty of funds, but there’s no need to waste it. I hope it’s important.”

As Ecklen was the vice-captain, there was nothing to say about force, but there was a bit of an erratic side.

In fact, there were many worries before sending her to the academy this time.

[This is information about the blind man with bandages around his eyes that the saintess was looking for. ]

“…Let’s talk.”

I walked around the room while answering Ecklen.

What kind of information did she come from at the academy?

[ …I saw a man with bandages around his eyes at Innocence Academy this time. ]

Ecclin paused for a while and said so.

“Is it really?”

[ Yes. It was a dark-haired man with a white bandage around his eyes. However, I am not sure if the saintess is the same person she is looking for. ]

“Why did you think so?”

[The man I witnessed was none other than an academy cadet. If you are a cadet, isn’t it hard to go outside the academy…? ]

“It’s a strange thing.”

Ecklen wasn’t wrong.

It would never be easy to leave the academy as a cadet.

After all, Innocence Academy tended to be quite closed.

‘If there’s one thing I’m stuck with…’

I finally stopped my feet and turned my head to Inès, who was standing next to me.

“…Innes, how far is the Innocence Academy from this village?”

“Hmm… You’ll have to look at the map to find out exactly, but…”

Soon, Inès’ eyes widened as she slurred her words and touched her chin.

“…I think it’s pretty close.”

“Then, what about the city where the demons were found in the theater this time?”

“It may be a bit far from this town… but it’s close to the academy. It’s only a few hours away on horseback.”

“I see. Then… the picture is roughly drawn.”

Soon, the voice of Ecclin, who had been listening to Ines’ conversation with me from the crystal ball, is heard.

[ …What does that mean? ]

“Haa… Ecclin… The person the saintess was looking for was only seen in places where even an academy cadet could easily move.”

Ecclin, who did not understand, must have been frustrated. Innes sighed and answered.

[ Is that true…? So you’re saying he could be Cadet Zeto? this… ]

After that, Echlin suddenly shuts up.

‘Jetto…’

It’s the first time I’ve heard the name, but it might be because of my mood that I felt that it sounded good in its own way.

“So what was that cadet named Zeto like? If you were an academy cadet you would have seen him fight, but did he use a sword?”

I asked the quiet crystal ball.

[I did use a sword…]

Then Ecclin, who had been silent, continued to speak gibberish as if a dam had burst.

[ …and it wasn’t just a normal sword, he handled it very well. In the battle with the wyvern, something that wasn’t a sword sword tore off the flying wyvern’s wings, and after that, push! and bang! And the blood splashed like a fountain…! ]

“Ecclin, calm down and speak slowly. Is it true that he dealt with a wyvern? A cadet.”

Eventually, Inès stopped Ecclin and calmed her down.

[It’s not just Cadet Jeto who killed the wyvern… Captain, that’s not the point right now. It was unbelievable speed. For a moment, I missed his move too. ]

“Hmm…”

Innes drooled.

It was not just a single member, but if the vice-captain, Ecclin, said that, it meant that it was absolutely not at an ordinary level.

“If he had shown his skills, many people would have already taken an interest in him.”

“It’s still unclear if he’ll be the acupuncturist we’ve been looking for.”

Innes shrugged her shoulders as she answered me.

“What do you think of Inez? The possibility that he is an acupuncturist.”

“Hmm… From acupuncture to swordsmanship… Plus he was an academy cadet… It seems like it’s getting harder and harder to imagine.”

“Huh… that’s right. That’s interesting.”

As if I had discovered an interesting problem, I was in a good mood and sneered.

Soon after, Ecclin, who had been silently listening to our conversation, opened her mouth.

Echlin’s voice was draining with every word she uttered.

[Holy Lady, there is one more thing I want to tell you about Cadet Jeto, which I just explained…]

“Yes.”

[ …’Sword Saint’ expressed interest in Cadet Zeto. ]

“Sword Saint? No, did you mean the Sword Saint came to the academy in the first place?”

Eclin’s mention of being a swordsman took Innes astonishment.

Innes knew so much information about the Sword Saint that he wondered if he was a follower of the Sword Saint.

She would often tell me about the Sword Saint.

According to Innes, the Sword Saint is not interested in anything in the world and enjoys wandering.

I never thought he would come to the academy.

It was completely unexpected for me as well.

[I don’t know why the swordsman came. Looking at the situation, it seems that you have a close relationship with the principal. Anyway, as soon as Cadet Zeto’s battle was over, the swordsman asked for a seat and spit on it… It seemed that other people didn’t even approach Cadet Zeto. ]

Ecclin’s answer was followed by a moment of silence.

I don’t know why, but Inez looked quite shocked.

Then, I, who couldn’t help but feel regret, opened my mouth.

“I’m even more curious about the person the swordsman covets. If he’s the acupuncturist we’ve been looking for, he’s still a cadet, so it’s impossible to recruit him…”

Ecclin, who had been listening to me, expresses a question.

[Holy Lady, I remembered it after recruiting…]

“What is it?”

[The Knights of the Silver Wings weren’t made up of only women…? Or, more than that, didn’t all the knights who protect the saints have to be women? ]

“…It was, until now.”

If there was a way to recruit him, he would be the only male member of the Silver Wings.

“Anyway, we’ll go to the academy soon. It’ll be close, so it won’t take too long.”

I said that to Ecclin and quickly ended the conversation with her.

Whatever it is, meeting him and talking to him in person will solve everything.

‘It’s important to ask questions naturally so that it doesn’t sound like an interrogation, but…’

I told Inès to get the crystal ball and immediately headed to Thomas’s room to finish the conversation.

Now, if I wait a little longer, I think I will be able to meet him.

What does he really look like?

Is he really kind enough to be called a ‘saint’?

Why are you doing good deeds?

It’s mysterious, not just to draw interest, but I felt an unknown charm from him that seemed to be absorbing me.

“Zetto…”

I muttered his name softly.

For some reason, a part of my heart was fluttering… It must be because of my mood.

***

The gold dragon, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation in the room where the saintess was staying, thought about it.

‘Zetto was an academy cadet?’

Although he was young, he never thought he would be a cadet.

Even as a dragon who has lived for hundreds of years, he could hardly get a sense of what kind of person Zeto was.

What the hell is this guy doing as a cadet to get entangled with the saintess?
