I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 85

85. ominous aura

ㅡWaaa!!!!!

Followed by deafening cheers.

—-Jetho! Jetto! Jetto!

The crowd in the Colosseum chant my name.

‘I guess my reputation has risen a lot.’

The larger the audience, the greater the impact on reputation.

Due to the nature of the open class, this time’s work is not limited to the academy, but stories about me will come up and down through the mouths of outsiders who visit the academy.

Considering the characteristics I have, I wonder if it has become more difficult to secretly promote outside the academy, but if I avoid people’s eyes in moderation, troublesome things won’t happen.

I think that if your reputation rises, there will be more benefits in your future work.

I had to see that most of the key people in the VIP seat right now were beings who could help in some way.

Not too bad in the sense of leaving a deep impression on them.

“Yeah, even third graders play with it.”

“Then I did something first…”

“I believe! Zeto!”

“Jetto! Jetto! Jetto!”

…Except for being a little burdensome.

As I stood there, listening to the shouts and chants that filled my ears, I heard the voice of the guy who fought with me from behind.

“Didn’t you decide to lose…?”

Keef Okentia.

I knew about the name.

To be precise, I must say that I remembered the surname attached to the name.

A guy who should have nothing to do with me called me, and when I asked what was going on, he suggested ‘match fixing’ to me.

‘How would you like to lose to me in this match? It’s also very natural. If you do, I promise you a great reward in Keef Okentia’s name. I think it’s a tempting proposal for you, a mere commoner.’

Right before the sparring started, he whispered that to me.

‘…It’s good.’

I smiled at him and nodded my head.

Well, it’s been like this ever since.

I just avoided his attacks moderately, but when I got tired of it, I aimed for his neck, and soon after, his protective magic shattered and his body rolled on the floor of the Colosseum.

“Oh, I did. I forgot.”

As I scratch my head and make him nasty, he looks at me with bloody eyes.

Sooner or later, he threatens.

“Because there’s nothing to see, so there’s nothing to be afraid of, but? Do you think it’ll go well even if you dare to do something like this to Okentia? No… I guess you didn’t know what Okcentia was or who she was… That’s why you did this. “

Contrary to what he thought, I knew very well who his father was.

Terlos Okentia.

He is the leader of the ‘Golden Lion Knights’ belonging to the Kingdom of Terrasia.

The reason I remember Terlos wasn’t because he was a great person or a heinous villain.

Terlos is an incompetent character.

He was nothing more than a scarecrow, and the true power of the Knights was separate.

‘The problem is that the real power of the knights who catch the demons is the demons…’

Anyway, Terlos was a problem that had to be sorted out gradually, and there was a separate problem right now.

“…”

I lightly ignored the guy lying face down on the floor and naturally turned my head and left the VIP seat where the important people were.

In the VIP seat, a woman with white hair, whom I hadn’t seen before, was staring at me.

It was the saintess, Bernice.

It wasn’t strange that she came to the academy.

It should have come, and if being late was strange, it was strange.

The problem was that he arrived late.

Right before the Dalian, Sierra was approaching the VIP table.

It was probably for the purpose of seeing the sword castle.

But wouldn’t Sierra, who had approached the VIP seat, spit out questionable words?

‘If it’s a saint… Didn’t the Daeros say you can see the soul…?’

After saying that, she broke through the bottom wall of the VIP seat and disappeared.

‘It looks like I even made eye contact with the saintess…’

I think I handled it well in my own way.

Or rather, given the circumstances, it could have been better than Sierra being found next to me.

I’d suggest talking to Sierra first.

After finishing the calculation, I immediately moved out of the Colosseum.

As I enter the aisle, as expected, a Sierra pops out of the aisle wall.

The eyes of her peering through the wall were tinged with bewilderment.

[My, disciple! big deal! ]

Sierra shouted as she hugged me.

“…I understand the situation roughly. The saintess must have come, right?”

I calmed her down in a calm voice.

There was no sign of anything near the aisle.

[Yes, our eyes met. I even heard her voice…]

Sierra stopped talking and covered her mouth.

He seemed to think that the current conversation might be overheard by the saintess.

Laughter leaked out because Sierra, who kept her mouth shut, was so cute that it didn’t match the spirited look she had shown so far.

“hahahaha, you won’t be able to hear it now. If that was the case, the saintess would have gone mad long ago. The voices of all the dead in the world will be heard at once.”

[That’s right…]

It was only then that Sierra quietly escaped from my arms, as if she had found her calm.

[Maybe it’s good now… If the saintess sees you with the original daughter…]

In fact, the saintess is not a threat to Sierra.

Even though Sierra is a spiritual body, her soul is already sealed in the urethra, so unless the urethra is broken and all of Sierra’s remnants are gone, there will be no way for her to become a ‘Buddha’.

However, even at the time of treating Antony’s daughter, I did not know that I would be able to contact and talk with Sierra like this, so it seemed okay to keep Sierra’s existence hidden for now.

If everything went the way I intended, the saintess wouldn’t be against me.

In that sense, it was also a seed sown in advance.

In work, order is important.

There was a simple way to hide Sierra’s appearance.

“…Even if it’s inconvenient, why don’t you go into the urethra for a while?”

I said that to Sierra, who couldn’t hide her anxiety as she tapped the urethra on her waist.

[Yes, there was a urethra… Thank God. ]

Sierra muttered, and soon went into the urethra.

I thought I would meet the saintess somehow.

The eyes of the saintess who had just been looking at me… were unusual.

The innocent saint, Bernice.

Her flawless white silhouette might remind you of innocence, but it can also be seen as a symbol of ‘innocence’ in a different sense.

The saintess or saint, the only apostle of the main deity, receives the love of the main deity and can handle near-infinite divine power, but that is not all they possess.

Saints and saints are each endowed with a special ability called authority.

The power that Bernice possesses as a saint is an ability close to a kind of lie detector called ‘Truth Eye’.

Her eyes could tell whether a person’s words were true or false.

Instead, it was not that they could use their authority without any risk.

An apostle of the main god lives with restrictions related to his authority.

Bernice can never tell a lie due to the limitations of her authority.

That was also the reason why she was nicknamed the saint of innocence.

‘Anyway, I think we’ll have our first meeting…’

I had a lot to hide.

I had to see that the ‘lies’ I had were overflowing.

If they are coming after knowing who I am, there is no great concern since the saintess’ favorability rating has already risen because of Anthony’s work.

So… unless she made up her mind and interrogated her, there was a hole through which she could escape.

Bernice’s authority was simpler than expected, so there were many parts that could be penetrated.

Even in the game, the influence of the saintess was quite strong.

If I take this opportunity to maintain a good relationship with her, my future work will be much easier for me.

‘I hope the conversation ends well…’

Aside from authority, there were a few parts that got caught in other parts.

…well, the die has been cast, and as always, I’m just making the best choice.

‘Is it time for a break now?’

I barely tidied up my messy hair and started walking down the street again.

***

I had a break just in time, and I was in a hurry to find Jeto.

“Cadet Zeto is probably near the waiting room since the battle just ended.”

Ecclin, who was following me behind my back, said.

While watching Jeto’s sparring, I had a conversation with Xerath and found out that he deals with ‘acupuncture’.

Geras Clementine.

He said that he had seen Zeto for the first time during this open class, and he had more information about Zeto than he thought.

Most of them were stories he had heard from his daughter… but why is he, a member of the family of the 4 elements, interested in Zeto?

Anyway, the possibility that the academy cadet named Jetora with white bandages around her eyes was the ‘blind acupuncturist’ I was looking for was almost confirmed.

Now, the task of how to ask about this naturally remains a task.

‘By the way, what the hell was the eastern woman I saw then…’

What kind of grudge did she have to wander around the Colosseum?

Has there ever been a fatal accident at the Colosseum?

…I wondered if that would be unreasonable if it was Innocence Academy, which was said to be extremely skill-oriented.

I was on my way to the waiting room, guided by Ecclin.

“Oh! There he is.”

Ecclin, who found Zeto, exclaimed.

Zeto, who was seen on the other side, was walking down the street while stroking the handle of the sword at his waist.

Then Ecklen calls him over.

“Cadet Zeto!”

“…”

At her call, Jeto’s legs stop and he turns his head.

Soon after, his head tilts.

‘Maybe I’m wondering because it’s the first time I’ve heard a voice.’

Immediately we slowly approached him.

With each step I took, I was getting closer to him.

finally.

I finally got to meet him.

Ever since I heard of his existence from Anthony, he has remained in a corner of my mind and has been bothering me.

what kind of person are you

Even though the saintess is openly alive, she is kind enough to be called a ‘saint’ and can be evaluated as mysterious by the merchants who met many people.

mystery.

I liked the peculiar tickle I could feel in that word.

I wanted to know more and dig a little more.

Maybe it’s because of the ‘ability’ given to me by the Goddess, who cut all the people in the world and divided them into two categories.

Those who lie, those who tell the truth.

I must say that there weren’t many people who could keep a mystery in front of me like that.

So I had very high expectations.

‘what…?’

But the closer I got to him, the more I became suspicious.

It was only when I approached him completely that I was able to realize the identity of the suspicion.

When he finally met him in front of his eyes…

…I was feeling ominous auras.

It wasn’t just one or two.

It was so weak that you couldn’t notice it if you didn’t concentrate, but it was absolutely not positive.

Unknowingly, I raised my arm and snapped my fingers.

ㅡ Tak.

Then, dazzling brilliance, ‘divine’ poured down over Zeto’s body.

“Saintess…?”

Innes, who was next to him, said in a questioning voice.

“ah…”

Because I was so concerned about the energy I felt from him, I ended up purifying the surroundings like a habit.

Despite Inez’s question, I couldn’t explain.

I couldn’t lie

So, if you open your mouth and speak out, you have to make a rude sound in front of the person in front of you, saying that you felt an ominous energy.

It must have happened with a good heart to purify bad energy, but…

…It wasn’t something we should have done before we even introduced ourselves to each other on our first meeting.

It was the time when I was about to open my mouth thinking I should apologize to him with a sorry heart.

But even though I thought I had gone through enough purification.

‘why…?’

The negative energy I felt from him did not go away.

It was unknown exactly, but something he possessed was ‘interfering’ with the divine power.
