3 – Admission to the Academy (1)
Lisa was dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of Baran.
She apparently killed a goblin out of sight.
So, I thought he must have excellent eyesight.
However, contrary to expectations, a man appeared with a bandage covering his eyes.
‘Is it just another person?’
That time when she was lost in her thoughts.
“Are you okay?”
A blind man in front of you speaks with a friendly voice.
Lisa nodded her head slowly.
“Yes. It’s okay.”
“I’m glad. I wonder if I helped you late.”
“Ah, then how did you defeat the goblins here?”
“Yes, I am.”
She smiles innocently and hopefully scratches the back of her head.
After hearing his answer, Lisa put on a look of disbelief.
‘A blind man uses a bow?’
How the hell is that even possible?
No matter how much she aspired to alchemy, she hadn’t even heard of a blind man using a bow.
‘Come to think of it.’
There is no cane that the blind usually use.
I want to move naturally like a person who can see.
Lisa asked a question in a puzzled voice.
“Are you sure you are blind?”
“Yes?”
“Ah, that’s because you don’t have a cane.”
At those words, Baran felt cold inside.
If the woman in front of him was an ordinary person, there would be no reason for him to be stingy.
However, the woman she saved is none other than one of the sub-heroes.
‘I’m surprised that he appeared here.’
I never thought I would be suspicious like this.
Well, actually, what kind of blind man would perfectly succeed in sniping from afar?
Even walking is as natural as a normal person.
Because of that, it’s not strange to be so suspicious.
However, that doesn’t mean I wasn’t prepared.
Haven’t you prepared your own excuses in preparation for this?
“Ah, I don’t need a cane because I am born with a sense of humor or other senses.”
“Aha, somehow you hit the goblins in the heart with one blow, and there must be a reason.”
At his excuse, Lisa nodded her head with an accepted face.
Baran let out an awkward laugh at her praise and changed her topic.
“Where were you going instead of that?”
“Oh, that was on my way to Edin Academy.”
“Then you can go with me.”
“Yes?”
“That’s why I am also a freshman at Edin Academy.”
“Ah.”
He said that the outfit she was wearing was familiar, and it turned out that he was wearing the same school uniform as hers.
The next moment, it was the moment when he realized once again why he was so good at handling a bow while being blind.
In most cases like Edin Academy, only those with outstanding potential can enter.
“My name is Baran. I look forward to.”
“Yes, my name is Lisa. Thank you for saving me.”
After shaking hands, the two of them moved to the coachman in the middle of the street.
***
For an additional fee, Lisa was allowed to ride in the carriage.
“·······.”
“·······.”
An awkward air drifting in the wagon for a while.
I looked at Lisa while using my inner eye intensively.

As expected, the Lisa I know is right.
I checked just in case, but sure enough, it was a sub-heroine I knew.
‘Ha. This is too changeable.’
My goal is to defeat the final boss, the Demon God.
However, to be precise, it is to catch the demon without being involved with the main and supporting actors.
Because it could cause a butterfly effect by being entangled with them.
If you leave it alone, they will take care of it.
So I just stuck to the academy and tried to live like an extra.
But, what?
‘Who would have known that the supporting heroine would be attacked by goblins from the beginning.’
I didn’t clear all the routes, but there was one thing in common among the routes I did.
That the very beginning was the same.
So, of course, I never thought that such a variable would appear from the beginning.
‘Whoa, no. It’s still fine.’
I ended up getting involved with an unexpected person, but it wasn’t just a loss.
Didn’t you get 1,000 points thanks to saving Lisa?
As a result, the Cash Shop, which had been locked up until now, became available.
Thus, I was able to grow faster than I expected.
‘And well, it’s a sub-heroine anyway.’
It’s not even her main character, it’s just a little intertwined with her.
No more than that.
So, there is almost no chance that the butterfly effect will occur with just this.
The time I was so sure.
“I have arrived.”
Soon we arrived at the capital.
As expected, it is packed with people like a royal city.
We got off the carriage.
I went to the academy as if it were natural.
When you are almost at your destination.
-Woong-sung, woong-seong.
People around me glance at me.
Just by looking at it, you can roughly guess why it attracts such aggro.
I perked up my ears wondering just in case.
“A blind man is a freshman?”
“No, does that make sense?”
“I don’t know, maybe it’s the production department.”
“By the way, what can you make without being blind?”
“Wait a minute, is that a red badge?”
“What? The combat department?”
“Crazy. What?”
Well, it’s not unreasonable for students to do that.
What kind of place is Edin Academy?
Isn’t it the place where all the talented people on the Manchester continent gather?
I know that only those with outstanding potential will pass.
However, a situation where a blind person entered the combat department.
Of course, it is natural for students to be shocked.
‘Aggro is properly attracted once.’
Are celebrities feeling like this?
As I was thinking that, Lisa next to me spoke in a worried voice.
“It’s because those people don’t know Baran-nim’s skills.”
“Oh, it’s okay. It is a very familiar situation.”
At my reply, she looked at me with a pitiful look.
Because you’re doing that for no reason, your conscience is pricked a little.
I headed for the auditorium, ignoring the burdensome glances.
Then after a while.
“Wow, that’s a lot.”
“I will.”
Soon we arrived inside the auditorium.
As soon as I arrived, I immediately looked for an empty seat.
Soon, he turned his head to Lisa.
“There are two empty seats over here.”
I took Lisa and immediately sat down in an empty seat.
Soon, Lisa stared at me with a rather unexpected face.
“Umm, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Oh, can you see what I’m looking at?”
“I feel the gaze rather than the sight. It’s because I’ve received a lot of attention.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Why are you looking at me anyway?”
“Ah! You won’t be able to see it, but I’m very good at finding it.”
“Aren’t people attached now?”
“Yes. Yes.”
“I just found a place where I don’t feel any toxic magic. A place without magic would be a place without people.”
Well, actually, I found it because I could see the front, back, and both sides because of the ability called Mind’s Eye.
“I see. How amazing. Normally, if you are blind, you will be uncomfortable in this area.”
“I’ve lived this kind of life since I was born, so now it’s okay…”
-Ah. Ah.
At that time, a profound voice rang in the auditorium.
Following the sound, we moved our gaze.
Then, I saw a professor holding a microphone crystal ball in front of the podium.
It seems that they are planning to start the entrance ceremony now.
Then should I look for the main character in the meantime?
***
The entrance ceremony ended unexpectedly quickly.
Well, actually, where is the entrance ceremony usually held for a long time?
After the entrance ceremony was over, Lisa and I headed to the temporary class we were assigned to.
As I walked, I was lost in thought for a moment.
‘What is it? Why is there no main character?’
During the brief entrance ceremony, I glanced at the male students.
However, contrary to expectations, the main character was not seen.
‘Why on earth is there no main character?’
Could it be that the butterfly effect happened because I was possessed?
After a moment of reasonable doubt, I arrived at my destination before I knew it.
I opened the classroom door.
The next moment.
“Is it really a combat department?”
“How did the blind pass?”
“Isn’t it a mistake on the part of the academy?”
“Or did you come in through personal connections?”
“For something like that, I’ve never seen a kid like that among nobles.”
Students in the classroom stare at me with burdensome eyes.
I tried to ignore their gaze and sat down in an empty seat.
At the same time.
From noble mtl dot com.
‘Let’s take a look again.’
I glanced over at the male students.
And sure enough, there is no main character.
‘That means I’m in another class or I’m not in the academy.’
Being dizzy with unexpected variables.
Because I never thought I would be hit in the head like this.
‘No matter how much I have no intention of getting involved with the main character.’
The lack of a main character is a different story.
Let’s check to see if there are any other main or supporting actors.
‘But there are other kids.’
Lilia, the daughter of the El Dorado Company.
Shannon von Gloucester in charge of one of the four elemental families.
Sherry von Patrick, who has great talent and is not inferior to the main character.
I couldn’t see the main character, but I could still see the main and supporting characters of the story.
At this point, why can’t I see only the main character?
‘Whoa, let’s think about this later.’
It is necessary to think about the class placement test that will take place today rather than the protagonist who does not exist now.
Class placement test on the first day.
Actually, this will come out randomly.
So it is impossible to predict exactly what will come out, but it is possible to cope with it to some extent.
Because still, wasn’t the class placement test conducted in the same way every time?
So, it would be more helpful for me to think about the class assignment test rather than the now absent main character.
That’s how I remembered about the placement test.
-Kwachaaang!
Suddenly, the window was broken.
All the students in the classroom were shocked by the unexpected event.
The next moment.
-Kyaoooool!
Out of the blue, a bipedal wolf, a lycanthrope, broke the window and appeared.
Seeing that, I muttered quietly.
“Nothing really happens today.”
