I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy

3. demonectomy

The break period is today, the 2nd day.

For two days, I focused on growth by mobilizing all the game knowledge I had.

“Thank you! Young man!”

“It’s nothing.”

“You can’t see very well, but it’s really amazing how they found our ChuChu.”

The old man was petting a cat named Chu-Chu in his arms.

It was very easy for me, knowing where the cat was hiding.

Of course, the cat didn’t listen to me more than I thought, so I hurriedly bought a fish from a fish store, but the result was good.

“It’s small, but it’s a gift. This time I used reliable ingredients, so it’ll be a success!”

This ordinary-looking grandfather is an alchemist.

Should I call him ‘The Mad Alchemist’?

Since he was a character who only appeared in the beginning and then disappeared, we do not know his name or his true identity.

In any case, the reward was important to me.

When I accepted the potion the old man gave me, he waved at me and disappeared into a shady alleyway.

‘Are you almost done with the side quests that can be easily solved in the beginning with this?’

It wasn’t that difficult to organize what had to be done.

Quests with appropriately helpful rewards for the job of ‘Swordsman’ were better, and even though they were placed at the very beginning, they had to be easy enough to solve in a short time.

Even though it was skipped, the amount was larger than expected, so it was tight, so Hae had already finished his work and was leaving.

This potion called ‘potion of unknown use’ in my hand right now has a tremendous effect of raising skill points.

ㅡ gulp gulp.

Without further delay, I drank the potion in anger.

“…ugh.”

it tastes like garbage

The color was strange, so I didn’t expect it to taste good, but I got nauseated.

Still, didn’t they say that they use medicines that are good for the body?

I immediately checked the status window.

‘Skill points have definitely risen.’

All remaining points were used.

＜Zeto＞ lv.10

skills you have

-Ghost Sword Lv.8

-Excellent senses lv.3

– Weakness detection lv.MAX – [Eye patch that pierces reason] effect is being applied

item being worn

-Eye patch that pierces reason [Legendary]

-The sword of the East of poor quality [Normal]

– Lively Silver Necklace [Rare]

I worked hard for 2 days.

Looking at the status window showing progress accordingly, I feel proud inside.

Quests that only gave experience were rewarded well, so my level rose by 5 levels, and thanks to that, I was able to raise my skill level a lot.

The average level of the cadets taking the placement test is about level 6.

In contrast, I had already reached level 10.

The effect of the eyepatch, ‘Experience gained by 500%’ was also applied to the effect.

In any game, if there is a level, the difference will show a distinct difference.

People in this world didn’t seem to know about the existence of ‘level’, but the difference would definitely exist.

Once you level up, the amount of mana you have in your body increases.

Mana can be seen as the basis of power in this world.

Not to mention wizards, and even martial artists, let alone knights with swords, had to be able to handle mana.

This is because it was common to fight by strengthening the body or weapon through mana.

I personally felt that the amount of mana flowing through my body also increased significantly compared to the first day.

At this level, getting a top grade in the placement test might not be such a dreamy story.

‘Well, though the actual combat experience is overwhelmingly lacking.’

By the way, solving the quests made my wallet thicker.

I have fresh memories of riding a carriage with all my money a few days ago.

‘I’m hungry, so I’m going to buy a sandwich on the way to the dorm.’

There was a famous sandwich shop in this vicinity that made meat from a wild boar monster called ‘Boar’.

After coming to this world, I think it was food that I was having fun in unexpected places.

I was able to taste the unique food full of fantasy that I only saw in games, and that the food was quite delicious.

Of course, the academy dormitory also provides good quality meals, but as I’ve been playing games for a long time, the delicacies in the city are more eye-catching.

Tonight’s dinner is a raffle for a special bore meat sandwich.

***

Last day of rest period.

He lifted his languid body from the bed.

The dormitory assigned by the academy was a single room.

It meant that there was no need to be with a stranger.

The interior of the room was very luxurious compared to the inn room I stayed in before coming to the academy.

In my case, only the bed is not a problem.

The bed in the inn room mentioned earlier was made of straw, so it was not easy for me, who still had the sensibility of a modern person, to get a good night’s sleep.

A bed in a dorm?

It was much better than the bed in my studio room.

On the first day, thanks to that, I was able to sleep late.

Early in the morning, I finished washing and getting ready to go out.

Today, I plan to go to the gymnasium and test my skills.

‘So far, the passive skills have been applied well.’

‘Ghost Swordsmanship’ helped me, who had never held a sword before, to handle the sword skillfully and brilliantly, and ‘Excellent Sense’ provided me with a better reaction speed through sharp senses.

I haven’t experienced it yet in the case of ‘Finding Weakness’ obtained through an eyepatch that pierces reason, but I know what kind of effect it had.

The effect of Find Weakness is simply increased crit chance.

However, it is still unknown how it will work now that it has become a reality. Since I haven’t experienced combat yet, I think I’ll have to do battle to know.

Arriving at the gym before I knew it, I lightly relaxed.

“Are you blind…?”

“You even have a sword?”

“He must be a freshman too.”

The attention of the cadets who had arrived earlier focused on them, but they were reactions that they were used to after going around for two days trying to complete the quest.

I just have to do my own thing

ㅡSureureung.

I slowly drew my sword.

The sword of the East that I was holding was a thin, single-edged blade.

So it was more suitable for cutting than stabbing.

I try to swing it straight away.

ear examination.

Originally, demon swordsmanship is a skill in which the soul of the dead, that is, the ghost, must be contained in the sword to exert its effect.

In this world, it shines only when it is used together with the Yodo (妖刀), also called a demonic sword.

Depending on whose soul the urethra holds, how strong the soul is, and how strong the soul was during life, the performance of demon swordsmanship varies greatly.

It is difficult to show its full performance from the beginning, but it is a royal ghost-type skill that can show high power if the conditions are met.

In order to do that, the first thing to do is to make a sword that can withstand strong yogis, and it is an essential process to find a strong soul and seal it inside the sword to make a yodo.

A material that is strong against Yogi, which is needed when making a sword.

Funds for entrusting production to a skilled blacksmith.

It was not something that could be solved with just a few days.

When it comes to powerful spirits, there are no big problems.

This is solved quickly with my game knowledge.

There are several suitable candidates who know the location because they have already used demon swordsmanship in the game.

As strong as they are, the seal…

‘…It won’t be as easy as a game.’

Demon swordsmanship wasn’t showing its performance, but it was still a swordsmanship.

The sword itself moved at a faster and more dazzling speed than before, probably because the skill level had risen.

I stopped swinging my sword more and stopped.

“Heh-uh… Heh-uh…”

My breath fills up to the tip of my chin.

I can clearly feel even the hot drops of sweat running down my face.

It was because he swung his sword while drawing out mana as much as possible and holding it in his whole body.

‘How on earth did he train in this way…’

I may have a slightly better amount of mana than the other cadets, but I have a significantly weaker point than them.

dealing with mana.

Mana management was weak.

Right now, I just ignorantly put mana all over my body.

It is a situation that is close to impossible to use as much mana as you want on the desired part.

There was no mana in modern times.

Mana, this strange energy that surrounds the body, could never be familiar to modern people.

It was a far more alien sensation than having a tail and three more arms that humans shouldn’t have.

Even in the game, mana was just a simple stat.

And the player skipped the process of dealing with it.

Because that’s a game.

But in this world, mana was too important.

It was a worldview in which even commoners who carried heavy loads could use mana to lift loads more easily.

So I was following the same training method of one of the main characters in order to handle mana more familiarly.

A very simple training in which mana is wrapped around the body until the physical strength is exhausted and the sword is swung.

Exhausted, I lay down on one side of the gymnasium wall.

This time, neither the knowledge of the game nor the performance of fraudulent items could solve this.

***

Around the time when the surroundings became dark and the buildings turned on their lights one by one.

I left the gym with a throbbing body.

Of course, I didn’t see any significant effect in one day.

The whole body was a wreck.

Bones creak and muscles struggle for rest.

‘I was too greedy before the exam.’

I can’t do anything anymore today.

It is best to go back to the dormitory and take a deep rest.

On the way back to the dormitory with desperate steps.

The appearance of a figure approaching this way from the other side of the road is familiar.

“under.”

As soon as I noticed her presence, I sneered.

‘During the entrance ceremony, you couldn’t even poke your nose… But it doesn’t mean you weren’t admitted.’

Not only is she the main character, but the woman I’ve been looking for since the entrance ceremony.

Like her signature, a white coat worn over her uniform.

With the bright moonlight as the lighting, her brilliant platinum hair shines dazzlingly.

gradually get closer to her.

It was fortunate.

If she hadn’t existed in this world, I would have gone many ways.

She was such an important person to me.

Maybe even more than when I was in the game.

Her golden eyes were now close enough to be seen with the naked eye.

This is something in the game, and if I were a player, I would talk to you at this timing… but I was aware that that might not happen.

But she didn’t pass me and stopped right in front of me.

Because of her blocking me from the front, I had no choice but to stop.

“…”

“…”

I wanted to say something, but her lips parted and no voice came out.

She just stared at me with her mouth firmly shut.

Those eyes that seem to have a lot of thoughts going through them.

The expression is complicated, and I can only feel indescribable emotions.

“Is there anything you want me to do…?”

“…”

No answer came back.

She eventually stands like that for a while longer, and then passes by, staring at me intently.

‘What the hell is this situation?’

I looked back at the absurd sight, but all I could see was her back as she silently walked past me.

Her name is Eisel Ludwig.

The character I tried to save by doing countless retries in the game…

…is the only ‘regressor’ in this game, no, in this world.
