I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 88

88. you are beautiful

“Are you saying that you would like to ask cadet Zeto to introduce you to the academy?! Didn’t the instructor decide to introduce you?”

Ecclin’s voice had been booming since morning.

Well, I wonder if there was a time when Ecclin wasn’t like that.

“Didn’t Ecklen say that? Men like a woman’s push.”

He answered in a dry voice to her wide-open eyes.

At this, Inès, who was crossing her arms, glared at Ecklin and growled.

“Ecclin, what the hell did you say to the saintess…”

“No… that’s why… the saintess kept asking questions… so I tried my best to answer.”

“Innes is also very good. Even though I said that I was curious, you didn’t tell me anything, did you?”

I cut off their conversation and straightened my hair.

“It’s not like that, it’s because I’ve never really had a relationship with a man… But, I understand what Ecklen said is absurd.”

“It’s okay. After all, Inez doesn’t know how to do it either… I have no choice but to follow the vice-captain’s words.”

Saying that, I smiled brightly at Inès, whose eyes narrowed.

Innes rubs her forehead.

Soon after, Ecclin, who had lowered her head and wiggled her fingers, lifted her head as if she remembered something.

“But how does Cadet Zeto introduce you to the academy? He… doesn’t have trouble with his eyes…?”

“…That’s right. Even so, I think it’s asking Cadet Zeto to do something difficult.”

Following Ecclin, Inès agreed with her opinion.

Is it because everyone hates Jeto?

Or is the method of ‘push’ really wrong?

“Cadet Jeto seemed to be able to get around the academy without much difficulty, but Inez has a point.”

Innes and Ecline let out a sigh of relief at my answer, which echoed quietly in the room.

“You can ask yourself.”

“”Saint?””

At my answer that followed, they all shouted in unison.

It wasn’t that I was curious about the academy or had anything else I wanted to see.

I just wanted to walk with Jeto.

If so, wouldn’t that be a very difficult request for him?

It would hurt a little if I was rejected, but it didn’t seem so bad to be brave.

More than anything…

Last night, while I was praying to the Lord, the Lord gave me a ‘revelation’.

‘Follow what you’ve been chasing. If I miss it, it will be too late.’

It was a shorter revelation than usual.

The Lord God would sometimes point me out in advance which way I should go.

My first thought after receiving the revelation was the question of whether there was something I was after.

Eventually, the question reached Jeto.

So, I’ve been thinking about it ever since.

Why is the Lord telling me not to let go of Zeto?

Than I thought… The answer was simple.

Zeto caught the demon.

I tried to recruit him into the Knights.

If Jeto joins the Knights, wouldn’t this imply that it would be a strength to the main god as well?

‘It sounds like it’s at least as influential as Inez…’

Innes was the only talent recruited through the revelation of the main god.

She was a very good paladin.

Her influence was so powerful that it was impossible to imagine the Silver Wing Knights without Innes.

Moreover, he helped me a lot to establish myself as a saint.

“…Then let’s go find Cadet Zeto.”

Innes and Ecclin couldn’t stop me from standing up like that.

***

Zeto accepted the saintess’ request.

He smiled and said, ‘As long as it’s an introduction, it’s possible.’ He spat out such confident words.

As Inès and Ecclin, they looked at the bandages around his eyes and wondered if this was right, but the saintess said they would. They couldn’t help it either.

Afterwards, the saintess, Bernice, said that she wanted to see the sights alone with Jetto, and suggested to Ecclin and Innes how about taking a break for a day.

‘Saint!’

Innes stopped Bernice right away, but

‘That’s a good idea!’

Ecclin raised her hand at the word rest and shouted excitedly.

In the end, Ecklen couldn’t get a break.

However, Inez could not follow Bernice.

Inès and Eclyn were sitting in a cafe.

On the other side, Bernice and Jetto were seen looking around the academy.

Innes sat quietly in her seat, staring blankly at them, recalling what Bernice had left for her.

‘Innes… It’s inside the academy anyway, so there’s no danger, and even if something happens, Cadet Zeto will be by my side, right?’

I couldn’t refute Bernice’s persuasion.

It was also an order in the first place.

Even so, as the leader of the Silver Wing Knights, she couldn’t give up the saintess’ escort, so she came to spy on her secretly.

“Captain… Is it okay for us to be like this? If the saintess finds out later…”

Eclyn, who was sipping coffee next to her, asked Inès, who was bruised.

“This is… an escort.”

At Inez’s serious voice, Ecclin nodded.

Bernice and Getto, who were seen across the street, seemed to be waiting for food as if they were having a meal.

Just in time, Bernice, who was talking with Jeto, laughs.

Ecclin, who was watching this, murmured.

“Isn’t this the day when we can see the saintess’s wedding…?”

“marriage…?”

Inès narrows her eyes and glares at Ecklin.

What did you mean suddenly?

Soon, Ecclin opens her mouth.

“Captain, have you ever seen the saintess smile so brightly?”

“…not really, though.”

“So…! You suddenly ask me how to get close with a guy… There seems to be something.”

“But I don’t think marriage has gone too far.”

The holy woman and the saint, the apostles of the main god, could get married any number of times.

No, rather, Seongguk actively encouraged it.

Their wedding was also a kind of huge festival in the Holy Land.

For good reason.

Saints and saints had to be seen as beings who received plenty of blessings and love from the main god.

When their love bears fruit and a child is born, the blessing of the Lord came upon that child as well.

All children of saints and saints were born with powerful divine powers.

So, Seongguk has no choice but to welcome the marriage.

However, there was just one thing to keep.

That’s true love.

This was a fact that could be known because a foolish thing had happened in the past that used this characteristic of a saint to forcibly give birth to a child.

It is said that after that, something very terrible happened.

There was no detailed description in the history books either.

‘The main god was very angry.’

Along with such a short sentence, the record of about 30 years has just disappeared from the history books.

Thus, the marriage of a saint and a saintess, that is, intervening in their love, has been taboo for a long time.

“I heard that the last wedding was before I was born, do you remember the captain? You were a saint then, right?”

“It’s probably similar to when I was born. I don’t remember it because I was young…”

The saints before Bernice lost their lives in the war, so there was no time to get married, and the saints before him did get married.

“saint…”

Ines, who had been chanting, touched her chin.

There was one strange thing.

As for the saint Ecclin just mentioned, matters after marriage were veiled.

She didn’t even know what had happened.

Even after becoming the leader of the Saint’s Order, information about it was still inaccessible.

Just like that, while Eclin and Inés were talking about marriage,

A strange sound came from the seat next to Ecklen.

ㅡ Paddeudeuk.

It was the sound of something hard being ground.

Ecclin’s eyes, turning her head and looking to the side, contain a blonde-haired girl.

‘Cadet Eisel…?’

Along with Jeto, Eisel, who should be considered the protagonist of this open class, was sitting in the seat.

Eisel was peering out the window.

A bowl of ice cold water was placed on her table.

‘I thought it was the sound of chewing ice.’

Ecclin passed it over and turned her head to the side where Zeto and Bernice were.

Since I wasn’t acquainted with Eisel, it was because I couldn’t think of what to say.

There was also something about Eisel’s expression looking out the window that made her look very uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Bernice was having dinner with Jetto.

Looking at it from a distance, Bernice looked quite amused.

Innes might not know it, but Ecclin felt that Bernice’s smile as he looked at Jeto was unusual.

‘Maybe I can see…’

Watching the saintess’ wedding was one of Ecclin’s small wishes since she was a child.

***

I didn’t even notice the time passing.

The sun had already set, and the moonlight was already shining on the academy.

It was late, but there were still quite a few people walking around the main building of the academy.

Most of them were cadets and their families.

I also asked Jeto about this.

If he has family, he deserves to spend time with them.

He said so in a calm voice.

No family to come.

It was obvious, but it was the truth.

At times like this, it felt a bit daunting to have ‘power’.

Anyway… As he confidently said, Zeto enthusiastically introduced me to the academy.

I followed him around and asked how he remembered the road well.

Jetto explained that it was like having a map of the entire city drawn in his head.

It was amazing.

Zeto, who looked at it from the side, seemed to have very developed senses other than sight.

He said he could hear the heartbeat of passers-by…

…I thought it was a joke, but it was also true.

“How was it?”

Jeto, who was walking next to me, asked.

“I really liked it.”

I looked at the floor and replied.

In fact, the academy was not very interested.

Still, it wasn’t a lie.

I just loved my time with him.

Being with him, I was able to feel emotions that I hadn’t been able to feel since becoming a saint.

Comfort, pleasure, refreshment and so on.

Oh, even the little happiness.

“Kraken legs…? They were really good.”

“I’m glad. I think you’ll like it.”

Well, he was a person who was true even to such useless words.

In a different sense from Innes, he was a person full of truth.

‘Was it the correct answer to actively ‘push’?’

With Jeto, I was able to become close really quickly.

It fit me so well that I wondered if I had figured out in advance what I disliked and what I liked.

As you get closer to him, the distance gets closer.

In the end, I figured out the ominous energy that I felt weak.

It was about the location… but the location was the problem.

The place where the negative energy came out was the sword on his waist and the area around his chest.

Black… Even so, why is there such an aura lurking around the chest?

Otherwise, it could be life-threatening.

However, I couldn’t ask.

While staying with Jeto, the thought of ‘I want to have him’ was stronger.

I couldn’t figure out what it was, but it was because I thought that if I rushed to ask a question and he didn’t want me to do it, let alone recruiting, it might all go to nothing.

He didn’t look critical or dangerous yet. He was in very good health.

So right now… it might be better as it is.

“…It seems it’s getting late, so I’ll have to go.”

Stopping my legs, I looked at Jeto and said.

“is that so.”

“Thanks to you, I enjoyed it.”

“No, I had a good time too.”

Around the time he faintly smiled at the ‘truth’ he spat out again.

ㅡKoo-gung…!!

Suddenly, a roar was heard from the other side, and the lights that illuminated the surroundings disappeared in an instant.

In an instant, my vision went black and I couldn’t see anything.

Looking around, the entire city was tinged with darkness.

Zeto, who could barely see it in the dark, seemed to be tilting his head. He couldn’t tell if it was dark or light around him, so that was understandable.

“what?”

“The lights went out, all of a sudden!”

“Honey, where are you?”

Then, the murmurs of others inside the main building can be heard.

“…It seems that the magic power supply to the entire city was cut off in an instant.”

“If you don’t mind, would you hold on to me? I’m fine.”

Jetto responds to my explanation and taps my hand.

First, I grabbed Jeto’s hand.

Then I hear a familiar voice calling me from across the hallway.

“Saintess…? Where are you?”

It was Inez.

Hearing the sound of footsteps running, it seemed that Echlin was also with them.

He must have told me to rest, but he must have been secretly following me.

“…Why don’t we hide for a while?”

Thinking that he would have been watching me and Jeto for a long time, I decided to play a very small prank because I was embarrassed for some reason.

“Doesn’t sound like a good idea…?”

Despite Jeto’s flimsy answer, I smiled and took Jetto’s hand, which I was holding, and headed to a corner I didn’t know where.

Jetto followed me without much resistance.

I moved a little to the side, and there was a door, so I opened it and went inside.

ㅡ Tak.

“Whew…”

He quietly closed the door and let out a sigh of relief.

Then Jeto, who was standing in front of me, opened his mouth.

“…Are you okay with this?”

“Umm… Well. But we should get out before something big happens, right? Let’s just say it’s a small punishment for those who don’t obey orders. hehehe.”

“Well, if it’s just a moment…”

It seems that Jeto is also inclined to do so.

Maybe it’s because I’m a saint, so I can’t say much.

So I leaned against the door and stared blankly at Jeto in front of me.

Even though the lights had disappeared, they were still visible to a dim level as they got used to the darkness.

“By the way… It seems like I’ve been watching what I want to see all day… Does Cadet Zeto have any questions about me?”

It occurred to me that I had never been asked a question before.

At my question, Jeto’s head tilted.

“Hmm… I’m curious…”

Was this a question worth drooling over?

I was a little, a little bit disappointed that I didn’t have enough questions to worry about.

‘They said that men like it when a woman pushes them forward.’

Touched by such a thought, I immediately grabbed his hand.

Then he put his hand on my face.

“For example… What does Bernice, the innocent saint, look like…?”

“…”

“If I do this, I wonder if Cadet Zeto will know what I look like…”

Then I held his hand and looked over my face as he explained.

“This is… the nose. The nose looks like this.”

He silently followed my hand and skimmed my face.

“And… the lips…”

Looking at his face, which was dimly visible in the darkness, I tried to figure out what to explain to my face.

“Mmm… the eyes… you can’t touch the eyes, so maybe you’d better touch the eyelids.”

After that, it was eyebrows, cheeks… everything that could be scanned from the face was scanned.

In the end, the sudden start of ‘Putting your face into Zeto’ ends.

Being groped by a man… might have been more embarrassing than I thought.

It was all the more embarrassing because Jeto groped his face without saying anything.

“How was it…? The saintess’ face…”

I asked Jetto in a voice that became somewhat cautious.

He smiled and quietly waited for his answer.

Because of the ‘power’, sincere compliments and mouth-watering words were inevitably separated, so I wasn’t expecting much.

After all, it would be difficult to express how it is like this.

It was a time when I thought that way even though I did something.

Soon, a faint smile forms on Jeto’s lips.

“The saintess… is very beautiful.”

Jeto’s sweet voice permeates my ears.

In response to his answer, a single word came out of my mouth without my knowledge.

“…ah.”

Jeto’s answer came out softly.

It couldn’t be clearer than this, it was a very clear ‘truth’.
