I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 87

87. son-in-law of all

On the way back after meeting the saintess, Bernice.

I was stroking the jewel on Sierra’s sword head, retracing the conversation I had just had with her.

The conversation may have ended better than I thought, but…

‘Has Cadet Zeto killed… a demon recently?’

…The saintess’ information power exceeded my expectations.

You never thought you would connect ‘Crektar’ and me.

Bernice must have been nothing more than a vague question, but since she had the ‘authority’, she had no choice but to recite the truth.

I planned to use this opportunity to make friends and ask her for help when she needed it, but Bernice tried to recruit me into her knights.

‘…fence.’

Certainly, considering my future activities, it wouldn’t be so bad even if I had something like that.

However, there were things I was reluctant to do.

Rather than a matter of conversation or excuses… What the saintess did to me.

As soon as Bernice met me, he poured his divine power out of nowhere.

It seems to have been able to detect it right away.

The ominous energy that I feel.

Well, it wasn’t something that would disappear like purification, so there was no other damage, but it seems that her divine power was blocked by the ‘coat’ I was wearing before.

Because the ‘veil of night’ had divine magic resistance attached.

Originally, ‘Barsium’, who should be regarded as the owner of the coat, was a vampire, so the resistance itself was high.

‘I didn’t have it in mind because it was an option that I thought was not very useful…’

Fortunately, Bernice doesn’t seem to have approached anything in detail.

At least not yet.

Even the yodo (妖刀) can be revealed when the time comes.

Bernice is not that inflexible.

When I recall the misunderstanding that Daedroth had at the time of making the urethra, I think that the saintess could sympathize with and understand it.

But the tears of the dead… I have no words to say.

‘I killed the lich and put the thing I got into my heart.’ I couldn’t get past it casually.

Except for the inevitable closeness to Bernice, belonging to the Saint’s Knights seemed comfortable in many ways.

While I was thinking about it, ‘Sierra’ suddenly hummed and vibrated.

Soon after, Sierra, who slipped out of the urethra, opens her mouth.

[My, disciple… Can you stop fiddling around…]

Sierra, who said that in a shy voice, twisted her body as if she didn’t know what to do.

It seems that it was very annoying that I had to touch the sword around my waist without realizing it while thinking about it.

“Which part do you think it’s connected to…?”

He tapped the jewel on the sword’s head and said.

‘I’m sure the doorknob didn’t mind.’

Immediately, Sierra’s body trembled.

[Sigh… that, stop… stop…]

…Judging from her reaction, it seems to be a very sensitive area.

“…All right.”

I took my hand away from ‘Sierra’ and raised my palm.

Sierra straightened up and glared at me.

Apparently, when Sierra is inside the urethra, it seems that she is connected to her sensibly more strongly than when she is outside.

Anyway, for the time being, going around the academy with her seemed difficult.

“Master, even if it’s frustrating, can you bear with it for a bit? I don’t want to be found out by the saintess right now.”

[ …So, you mean later is okay? ]

Sierra put her hands on my shoulders with a pouty face and asked, glancing at me.

“As long as it goes the way I think.”

I replied to her and walked down the street towards the Colosseum.

Will Bernice’s ‘power’ work on Sierra, who has become a dead man?

***

The climax of the second day of the open class was, without a doubt, a confrontation between the emerging divinity ‘Eisel Ludwig’ and the continent’s 4 element family ‘Yuri Clementine’.

It started with Yuri’s name being called.

She summoned Eisel with a confident expression.

Then, the two showed their overwhelming skills and plunged the Colosseum into a crucible of enthusiasm.

The result was Eisel’s victory.

Glass was strong enough, if strong enough.

Unfortunately, however, it was not yet the ability to overcome the huge wall of ‘regressor’.

Nonetheless, the couple’s showdown had already far exceeded the expectations of a first-year cadet, so Yuri’s defeat did not damage the reputation of the Four Elements family.

Above all, even Yuri’s father, Gerath Clementine, was quite satisfied with her daughter’s skills.

Of course, he would have scolded me normally, but it was because he was in such a good mood.

It was an unexpected luck for him to know a cadet named Zeto while he was deepening his concerns about the first prince.

The event on the second day ends like that, and now outsiders have time to observe the lives of the cadets at the academy for several days.

So, Xerath came to Yuri’s dormitory.

Yuri’s room was not much different from her room at her parents’ home.

There was nothing untidy, and it was a tidy room where it was hard to see a speck of dust.

On the other side, he could see his pretty daughter, Yuri, sitting on the bed with a sad expression on her face.

A book was placed by the head of the bed on which she was sitting.

‘You still like fairy tales.’

A happy smile forms on Xerath’s lips at his daughter’s innocence that has continued since childhood.

“You don’t seem to be in a good mood.”

Xerath approached Yuri and asked.

“…I can’t feel good when I lose.”

Yuri turned her head.

She barely managed to calm the rage that kept welling up. It wasn’t something to be annoyed with my father, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time.

“hahahahaha, that’s my daughter. Yes, if there’s a wall, burn it and jump over it. Because that’s Clementine.”

Xerath laughed out loud.

Still, it was because I thought I raised my daughter well.

“…For some reason, my father doesn’t say anything bitter.”

Yuri rubbed her chin and said.

“As you said, you’re strong, Miss Eisel. ‘Ludwig’ who uses lightning magic… I’ve never heard of it before.”

“I’ve never asked about the family. I just thought there might be a family like that somewhere on the continent… Anyway, he’s a strange kid. He doesn’t suddenly get hurt somewhere…”

Soon, Yuri begins to recite about Eisel.

Looking at her like that, Xerath smiled happily and stroked her hair.

Yuri’s friend may not have been Jeto only.

It was good to have a friendly competition with a friend.

Just looking at myself right now, when I was young, I grew up bickering with Maxim Caligus every single day.

“…And when did Zeto and I become so close?”

It was when Yuri spat out those words and touched her own red hair.

At her words, Xerath expressed his doubts.

“…Are Miss Aisel close with Jeto-kun too?”

“Does it seem like that?”

“Hmm…”

Soon, Xerath drools and runs his beard.

And he thought

Perhaps, to Yuri, Eisel might not be a friend but a ‘spouse’.

Jeto, whom he looked at briefly, was quite popular with the female students.

It was not unreasonable for him to feel that way.

“hahahaha, my daughter must be in trouble.”

Yuri’s head tilted at Xerath’s sudden words.

Soon, Yuri crosses her arms and glances at Xerath, as if wondering what else she is talking about.

“Yuri, my lovely daughter. If this father had to say one word… it would be love. If you miss the time, it’s pretty exhausting.”

“Love…? Father, what are you talking about…!”

Only then does Yuri realize what her father is talking about.

“Jetto is… well, just a friend.”

Yuri, who was pushing Xerath away, stuttered.

“I see. Then you wouldn’t mind if Miss Eisel and Jeto whispered their love in front of you?”

“That, that’s… There’s no way Eisel and Zeto would be like that…”

Even as Yuri said that, she remembered Eisel’s eyes looking at Jeto.

It was such a deep, yet something soggy… strange look.

Yuri was unable to speak.

Xerath left the bowed glass with a smile and immediately left the room and said a soft word.

“A son-in-law like Zeto, this father always agrees.”

As Xerath left the room, he had no doubts that if he did this, Yuri would do it on his own.

The glass left in the room was still in shock.

‘Son-in-law…’

Anyway, maybe it went too far.

“Jetto was just a friend… I couldn’t even hold his hand, but what kind of marriage is marriage…”

Yuri, who had muttered something like that in a low voice, said, ‘Ah.’ Make a sound.

‘Have you already held hands…?’

Yuri immediately approaches the drawer next to the bed and pulls out something from the drawer.

Yuri, who was closing the drawer, held an ice cube in her hand.

It was a souvenir that Lucia handed out to everyone when she went to the North.

Then she sits down on the bed and injects mana into the ice cube.

After that, Yuri smiled as she recalled those memories for a long time.

***

Meanwhile, the same thing was heard in the hand of a girl with pink pigtails who was in the same dormitory as Yuri.

It was Caen.

At night, she naturally went to the ice sculptures.

That’s how she said, ‘I won’t have a nosebleed today.’ It was the time when he was trying to blow mana into his hand while making a promise.

ㅡDr.

Suddenly, the sound of a window opening came from the dark room.

‘what…? a freak? Rumors circulate that the thief joined the academy…’

You picked the wrong opponent.

Kaen was a disciple of the Sword Saint.

ㅡSureung.

She immediately pulled out the sword lying next to the bed and tried to thrust it at the unknown assailant.

however.

ㅡ Ting.

With a clear sound, Kaen’s sword bounced off the assailant’s fingers.

“…Your skills are rusty.”

The stranger’s voice was very familiar to her.

Then, Kaen shouted in an embarrassed voice.

“grandfather?!”

“Ttsk, who would be threatened when he thrusts his sword so weakly?”

The identity of the assailant was none other than Kaen’s teacher and swordsman, Chris.

Chris, who clicked his tongue like that, calmly started to look around his granddaughter’s room.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been wandering with him since I was a child.

There were no other items in the room, so it was shabby.

“No, how can I leave the door intact and go through the window…”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Kaen didn’t say that, staring at Chris, but immediately understood why he did it.

First of all, the relationship between her and Chris was in a state of hiding.

“Hmmm… Grandpa, why did you come here at this late hour?”

Coughing and putting the sword back in place, Kaen spoke to him.

Chris, who looked around the room, answered.

“I met Jeto this morning.”

“Have you met Cadet Jetto?”

“Yes. While examining his swordsmanship, I was curious about something, so we had a conversation. Only then did I understand why you lost.”

He didn’t bother mentioning that he was trying to make Jeto a disciple.

“…If we fight again, we can win.”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Kaen said that because she thought Chris was scolding her.

However, Chris’ reply was different from what she expected.

“There’s no need to do that. It seems like it’s good to hide that you’re my student from now on, especially from Zeto.”

“…yes?”

“…there’s something like that.”

Chris brushed aside Kaen’s question.

In response, Kaen narrowed her eyes and tilted her head.

Chris was such an eccentric character that Kaen couldn’t fully understand his actions or words.

As Chris examines Kaen, he sees a piece of ice in her hand.

Chris asks, holding her hand.

“What is this?”

“This, this… It’s just ice. Ice to eat. Ehehehe… Should I eat it whenever I’m thirsty!”

At Chris’ question, Kaen hurriedly puts an ice cube in her mouth and scratches her cheek.

‘I swallowed Zeto…’

Putting the ice cube in her mouth, Kaen wanted to cry, but she couldn’t help but laugh like an idiot.

She just hoped the ice wouldn’t melt.

Chris looked at Caen as he put the stained ice into his mouth, and he wondered if he hadn’t taught them too much about etiquette.

Meanwhile, a ring on Kaen’s finger, scratching her cheek, catches Chris’s eye.

“Hmm? It’s the first ring I’ve ever seen.”

Chris asked Kaen.

Soon Kaen glances at the ring.

“Ah, this is the ring I got from Cadet Zeto. Isn’t it nice…?!”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Kaen showed off her fingers at Chris.

In fact, the clothes Kaen was wearing now were the clothes Jeto had bought for her before.

Contrary to Jeto’s thought that it was something she would wear only once, she wore it often.

“You got a ring?”

Chris’ eyes widen.

“Eh, that’s… somehow…”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Kaen said that in a slightly slurred voice because she was holding a piece of ice.

I couldn’t say that I got it by killing a blood mage like Zeto.

This was a secret between Jeto and Kaen.

When Chris heard this, he was greatly surprised.

‘You mean they were already exchanging rings…?!’

Even Chris, who didn’t know much about love between a man and a woman, knew at least that exchanging rings meant a lot.

The corner of Chris’s mouth went up so much that he could see his teeth.

Then he placed his chin on Kaen’s shoulder and put his hand on it.

“Okay, Kaen! Keep going!”

“…Jeongjin?”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Kaen had to express her embarrassment once again at Chris’ words, which were difficult to understand, but Chris didn’t even care.

After worrying about how to connect Kaen and Jeto, it was Chris who eventually came to Kaen, but contrary to his worries, it seems that his disciple is already doing well on his own.

I didn’t think I was in vain.

Soon after, Chris puts his foot on the window to leave the room, leaving Kaen with a face full of question marks, and throws a word at her.

“…I want to see you as soon as possible. Grandchildren… no, great-grandchildren. I’ve already been handed the ring, so that’s all that’s left.”

Even if he passed it over, he passed it over for a long time.

“Zu, great-grandson?!”

Leaving Kaen’s questionable cry behind him, Chris escapes through the window.

‘Maybe because Kaen is still young, she’s shy.’

Chris, who flew lightly in the air, thought so.

“Ugh…”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Kaen, who had to suffer from Chris’ unexpected visit, spits out ice cubes.

There was no melting of ice.

I heard that it will not melt, but I was worried that it would be very unfair if it disappeared because of this.

Thinking so, she rolled her eyes and murmured.

“Great-grandchildren, I can’t believe…”

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Kaen thought maybe her grandfather, Chris, was seriously mistaken, but saying that meant that Jetto liked him.

‘Jetto and… me…’

When Kaen recalls the process of acquiring the ‘great-grandchild’ Chris mentioned, heat rises on Kaen’s face.

Soon, she sighs and covers her mouth.

…Anyway, washing the ice cubes came first.
