I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy chapter 95

95. darker darkness (1)

Meals with Lucia, Eisel, and Yuri were quite enjoyable.

…At least Lucia and I enjoyed our meal.

Eisel and Yuri were busy staring at each other, as if they were eating.

Have they not gotten along since the Colosseum sparring?

It was because Yuri had a strong desire to win.

I, who patted my fat stomach with the bright Lucia, returned to the dormitory for a while after finishing my meal.

I had to go a little far today, so I was preparing to leave the academy early.

I had to go get a new skill.

After getting the hidden pieces in the labyrinth, I thought a lot about what skills would be good to learn.

Time and skill points were limited, so selection and concentration were necessary.

The first thing that came to mind was skills related to critical strikes.

Since the critical hit rate itself would be overflowing, I wondered what about the skills that raised the player’s ‘luck’ value itself.

‘Because I couldn’t cut the golem after all.’

There are some guys that don’t work well with physical damage, like the golem you faced in the Labyrinth.

Due to the ‘necklace containing the protection of the warrior’, it was possible to convert physical damage into light attribute, but there are limitations.

There was once a day and a limited time.

I also considered the ‘Brazil’ skill.

A passive skill that dramatically increases your physical ability when your physical strength drops below a certain level.

But what should I do if my stamina level goes down?

blood must be shed

In order to intentionally use berserk, it can be seen that the situation in which the enemy must be attacked and injured is inevitable.

I didn’t know it in the game, but now that it’s a reality, I judged it to be a very risky skill.

it could be painful

However, I had 2 Reverse Heavens that consumed my stamina.

Chapter 2 was limited as it was a skill with good performance.

Although it is said that it can be supplemented by raising the maximum stamina with the elixir, when it comes to battle, a war of attrition is unavoidable anyway.

It was the berserker that could guarantee the continuity of this.

Even if you use the time limit of Chapter 2 to the maximum, if you can’t defeat the enemy, your stamina will be consumed, so berserk will naturally activate.

but…

‘…This or that means it’s not something that can deal with various situations.’

In the meantime, my eyes were drawn to the hidden piece that I had obtained in the labyrinth before the open class.

Two items were obtained this time.

‘The Whistle of the Spirit King.’ and ‘Orb of the Red Dragon’.

Both were kept in the subspace pouch.

The orb was an item exclusively for wizards, so it was not something I could use.

Not only could he not be able to handle magic, but it seemed difficult to learn in the situation where he was blindfolded like now.

This was a gift I would give to Yuri later.

There is also Eisel as a wizard, but it was an item that suited Yuri better than her.

It’s a gift that’s never light to hand over, so the key is how you hand it over… Anyway, I think it’s better to hand it over before Yuri gets into a dangerous situation.

Next is the spirit king’s whistle, which is a one-time item close to a kind of ‘inoculation’.

In an emergency, when the whistle is called, a ‘higher spirit’ with great power is summoned to help the battle and disappears as soon as the battle is over.

I remembered one ingenious ‘trick’ about this whistle.

It was a wonderful idea that would be of great help to the armed forces while securing utility.

It was a method that would have been possible now that the game has become a reality.

For this, he had to learn the ‘Spirit Sealing Technique’.

If ‘spirit magic’ is usually about summoning spirits and making legitimate contracts, ‘spirit sealing art’ is such a skill that shows a lot of human cleverness.

Forcibly borrows the power of the spirit through the seal.

He was able to use the power of the spirits at once, even if he had no affinity for the spirits or in-depth knowledge of spirit magic.

There was no need to talk or interact with the spirits.

This kind of power is bound to follow bizarre conditions, and the spirit sealing technique was the same.

He had to know the ‘true name’ of the spirit to be sealed.

A spirit’s true name was not something that could be easily figured out like a dragon’s true name.

Of course, I knew the true names of the higher level spirits because I had been an elementalist a few times.

The Whistle of the King of Spirits features spirits with attributes that match the characteristics of the person who called the whistle.

Representatively, there would be four elements, and he knew the true names of the other high-ranking spirits of the other attributes.

The only ones who don’t know the true names are the spirits of light related to the hero and the spirits of darkness with deep ties to the demons.

I’m neither a hero nor a demon, so at least they won’t come out.

I don’t really care what properties come out.

I was confident that I could put it to good use somehow.

In any case, since it’s a one-sided contract, the spirit won’t listen to good things, but isn’t there such a thing as a true name for nothing?

It’s a ‘trick’, but I thought it was a way for me, the possessor, to use the one-time item Spirit King’s whistle much better.

First of all, I had to see that there was no skill point consumption, and the fact that the process didn’t seem too difficult was an advantage I thought.

Now, then, the remaining question was who would teach this ‘spirit sealing technique’, which was somewhat vicious and could be seen as harmful from a spirit point of view.

Sealing had to be seen as a rare skill.

The one who taught me this was a man who was not even treated as an elementalist, and was treated as an eccentric or an idiot.

‘Should I call it handling… I wonder if he’s just a geek.’

Just in time, Sierra asks me as I was about to leave the room with my backpack.

[Where are you going today? ]

She had already gotten used to leaving the academy and doing things on her own, so she didn’t ask me what I was going to do today.

I responded with a smile on her face.

“It’s a gambling house.”

***

“Again… I got it right again!!!”

Located in the basement of a city, the inside of a not very large gambling house was agitated by the sudden appearance of a ‘blind man’.

The gamble the blind man was playing was ‘Yabawi’, in which he matched the bowl containing the marbles among the three bowls.

The blind man with a bandage around his eyes would not be able to see what bowl the marbles were in, but he was correctly guessing the bowl with the marbles as if he could hear the sound of the marbles hitting the bowl.

When the blind man entered the gambling house and sat down in front of him, pulling out a pocket full of money, the slick man thought he could make a big deal today.

It didn’t matter to him how the blind man put the marble bowl together.

Cold sweat was dripping down his forehead.

It was already the 13th.

Out of 13 thin rocks, the blind man immediately guessed the bowl with the beads without making a single mistake.

It was a speed that often fooled even normal people with their eyes open, but it was unbelievable.

‘f*ck… what do I say to the boss…?’

The giant fist of the man who was the owner of the gambling house and the leader of the organization was flickering in front of the slicker’s eyes.

The wind catcher, a member of the same organization, continued to blow air in, but the blind man didn’t pay attention to the wind catcher and set the bowl with beads without any shaking.

By the time the color of the coin in front of the blind man changes to gold.

The organization that operated the gambling hall also took action.

Losing money is also losing, and all the ‘hogu’, or customers, who had to spit out money, did not even gamble and were watching this strange sight, huddled around the blind man.

From the standpoint of the gambling establishment, this was a headache.

—-Bah!

Someone hits the back of the head hard on the slender man sitting in front of the blind man.

“Ugh…”

The swashbuckling, whose tears stinged from the sudden pain, looked back.

The one who struck him in the back of the head was a bald, huge man who was the underboss of the organization.

The assistant manager was also a slender man.

Unlike his quick-witted self, he used to use more vicious tricks.

“Get out of your seat, the boss is calling.”

Hearing the grim voice, the slender man hurriedly moved out of his seat, thinking all kinds of things in his mind.

Soon after, the assistant manager sat down and asked the blind man.

“Is it okay if I do it? Unlike the color of the eyes, the ears are in good shape… A player should deal with the player.”

“It doesn’t matter. Then…”

The blind man, who was smiling, answered calmly and blurted out his words.

Then he put the money bag in front of him and all the money he won this time forward.

“Oh, all in…!”

“Yeah!”

“There’s a room, but there’s a room!”

When the blind man bet all his money, the onlookers gathered around him were amazed.

“her…”

At this, the assistant head shed a single word as if it was absurd, and immediately hid the marble in a bowl.

‘Stupid bastard. Do you fearlessly go all-in in front of me?’

Soon, the bowl is quickly mixed by his hand.

ㅡSue.

ㅡSue.

Onlookers express their disapproval at the skill of the thin rock, which has become more dazzling than that of the previous thin rock man.

“Oh, I missed it.”

“I don’t know about this either…?”

“Right, right.”

At the same time, the wind catcher was also doing his job diligently.

Eventually, the hand of the vice neck stops.

“Now, choose.”

His confident voice continued, and the gambling hall was filled with the tension of the onlookers along with silence.

Will the blind man be able to hit it again?

he walked all

“Hmm…”

The blind man groaned and touched his chin.

He, who had immediately guessed the bowl with hidden marbles, was thinking about it this time.

This was a bad sign.

In response, one of the onlookers said, ‘It’s gone, it’s gone.’ he said and clicked his tongue.

The corner of his mouth was slowly rising.

“Choose quickly!”

In the end, the blind man opens his mouth to the windcatcher’s fuss.

“…nothing. All three bowls… have no marbles in them.”

The gambling hall is shaken by the blind man’s soft words.

“No? What do you mean?”

“Are you saying he cheated? Well, I thought it was weird since the guy changed.”

“What bullsh*t. Aren’t you saying that because you’re afraid you won’t get it right?”

However, the assistant manager who watched this silently did not lose her smile.

“Hey, those words now. I can take responsibility…”

It was the time when the sub-head provoked the blind man and stretched out his hand around the bowl with a fairly natural movement.

“…”

Suddenly, the blind man stretched out his arm to block the hand of the assistant manager.

Soon after, the blind man overturned three bowls at once with his remaining arm.

“…does not exist!”

“doesn’t exist?”

“What!”

The beads were nowhere to be found.

Even the onlookers who were watching were amazed.

The wind catcher could no longer make a noise and was breaking out in a cold sweat.

“The marbles… here.”

Saying that, the blind man tapped the hand of the assistant he was blocking.

Then, a marble fell from his palm.

Using the angle of view, he was hiding a marble in his palm.

ㅡTing!

The iron ball fell to the floor with a clear sound.

ㅡDegur..

The heads of the onlookers naturally follow the beads rolling on the floor.

Soon after, the assistant manager hurriedly shouted.

“f*ck! Close the door!!”

Soon after, the gang member near the door of the gambling hall slams the door shut.

In running a gambling house, it was a very bad thing for the gambling house’s fraud to be discovered.

At least there shouldn’t have been any witnesses.

“what!”

“What are you doing now!”

“Are you guys crazy?!”

A few onlookers who didn’t even know their situation were angry.

Members of the gang are approaching them with strides.

Soon after, the sub-neck, who had been scratching his shaved head, opened his mouth.

“Rather than losing Jean, it’s better to lose a few hukou. Isn’t it? Unfortunately, there aren’t any women… Don’t kill those who look a little healthy. They have to be sold for dark magic ingredients.”

Along with his words, the members of the organization take out their weapons from their arms.

The onlookers who noticed the situation only then shook their bodies.

Their occupations varied, but none of them had weapons. It was because they had to keep their weapons near the door to enter the gambling house.

And to run there, the organization members were approaching with weapons drawn nearby.

“No wizards? Wizards?!”

The onlooker, who wanted to get out of this situation immediately, hurriedly grabbed the collar of someone in front of him and shouted.

Then, caught by the collar, he clenches his hand and cuts it off.

“Why are you like this? I have no intention of dying with you guys. Puhahahaha!!”

As he said that, he got out of the crowd and stood next to the dock.

It was a windswept member who was one of the gang members.

“f*ck… Somehow, he only gave a f*ckin’ advice…”

A dumbfounded onlooker swears, but it doesn’t change the situation.

The underboss eats and laughs at the insignificant onlooker’s swear words.

However, only one of them remained relaxed.

The blind man, who was the cause of the situation, sat calmly in his seat with a smile on his face despite the urgent situation with the members of the organization approaching.

In response, the windman standing next to the dock whispers to him.

“But brother, why is he laughing…?”

“Not Nandle.”

Doesn’t he know that his life is in danger because he can’t see anything?

That’s when the sub-head was thinking like that.

“what!”

Suddenly, the member of the organization guarding the door expressed a question.

Soon after, something from the doorway rushes at the blind man at high speed.

ㅡ Tak.

The blind catches it accurately.

It was his sword that the blind man had been carrying.

Everyone in the gambling hall doubted my eyes.

The sword appeared to float in the air and fly itself to the blind man.

They couldn’t see it, but there was an imperceptible thread attached to his sword.

The moment when the entire gambling hall was stained with bewilderment in an unbelievable situation.

ㅡSureung.

The smiling blind man stood up from his seat and drew his sword.

***

‘It was noisy, but it quickly became quiet.’

An old man locked in a jail cell downstairs from a gambling den ran through his beard.

It was ‘Magredo’ who was caught cheating using spirits at a gambling house.

“hmm?”

In the meantime, Magredo senses the presence.

Someone was coming down the stairs.

Magredo tilted his head and looked in the direction the stairs had been.

Then a man comes down the stairs completely.

It wasn’t the gangster that Magredo was familiar with, who brought him the filthy, tasteless food waste as rice.

‘Blind?’

A white bandage was wrapped around the eyes of the man approaching him.

“…Who are you?”

At Magredo’s meaningful question, who could smell the scent of blood piercing his nose from the blind man, he turned his head to where he was.

Immediately the blind man’s mouth opens.

“This voice… is it the famous Elementalist, Magredo?”

“…For now, that’s how it is.”

Magredo answered in a trembling voice.

‘Was I famous enough to be recognized just by my voice?’

…it was famous for the bad side.

Rather than that, it had been quite a while since someone called himself an elementalist.

The blind man in front of Magredo smiles broadly.

“Fortunately, you’re alive.”

“Well, the old man’s body is not needed or something… He said that he must have a place to use it because he is a spirit sorcerer, but he said he wanted to live.”

Magredo had no idea who the blind man in front of him was, but he replied without hesitation.

As he said, the people in the prison except for him disappeared one after another. Most of them were unfair people who were scammed by the organization and owed money.

…It might be hard to say that it was very unfair at the point of gambling.

Listening to the conversations of the gang members, it seemed that the women were used as playthings by them and then sold to brothels, and the men were sold to warlocks or blood wizards.

‘If it wasn’t for the Imperial Casino, I wouldn’t have to come to such a dangerous gambling place…’

So Magredo was waiting for an opportunity to escape prison.

For some reason, he couldn’t deal with spirits higher than the current intermediate level. It was in a state of ‘weakness’, so to speak.

In the meantime, the blind man came.

A commotion from the gambling hall.

The strong scent of blood emanating from him.

Besides, he knew who he was.

He was a figure full of unknowns.

But at least from his benevolent smile… I didn’t think he was an enemy.
