I Became The Academy’s Blind Swordsman

EP.6 Class Assignment Test (2)

“I told you that brat is weird?! He broke the spell with a sword!!!”

The other instructors were forced to remain silent at Reina’s shout.

“”…..””

Because they knew better what the word meant.

“I know. It doesn’t make sense. But you all saw it, right? This time, instead of the ‘luck’ crap.”

“Haa…”

Only then did Raina’s sharp words make the instructor who came to his mind.

“The question is, ‘How did he do it?'”

Dispel was basically a high-level skill that was possible only when you knew the magic that the opponents performed even more than themselves.

“For now, the battle isn’t over yet, so let’s wait and see.”

“I agree.”

After saying that, the instructors began to focus again on the screen.

ㅡCrack!

Amon’s right arm, which had just disappeared, was being cut off.

ㅡShit! What the fuck?!!

In this magical illusion, Aamon didn’t faint because his arm was cut off thanks to the pain that was eased five times, but it was enough to shock him.

A series of Zetto’s dispel

This time, it was a gauntlet on the left arm.

ㅡCrack!

The defenseless Aamon’s left arm is cut off.

Soon, Amon knelt down in front of Zetto.

“It’s over.”

“I think the mental shock is as great as he was conceited.”

“That’s true. He lost fairly to a blind opponent who doesn’t know his name or face.”

“I don’t think Aamon Caligus was weak.”

Aamon’s neck, who was sitting down with the instructor’s words, flew away.

“He just met an unexpected opponent.”

This concluded another test.

The instructors began grading the two people who remained until the end.

“Aamon’s attack was a bit regretful.”

“Attack? I think he did exactly as much as a freshman. It was even a bit impressive to us.”

There was no big undervaluation of Aamon.

Even if he lost to Zetto, he was in second place, and it was also true that he handled four enemies lightly.

“What do you think about Zetto cadet?”

“Hmm…”

Surprisingly, the instructor who was good at handling swords fell into deep thought.

The people except him were curious about his opinion, so they waited for him to open his mouth.

“His sword skill… was nothing special.”

“What?”

“Like I said. There was nothing special about his sword skill. Based on ‘Sword Arts’.”

“Then…”

“That’s the problem. It’s not a special sword trick, but it invalidates the magic… He dispelled the opponent.”

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder because he was also an experienced veteran who had experienced many battles.

If there was nothing special about skill.

How on earth did Zetto dispel with a sword?

At that time, Raina, who was listening quietly, spoke up.

“Of course, there’s only one.”

However, someone else continues to recite Raina’s words.

“We can only say that he touched a magical structural ‘weak point’ and broke it, right?”

At that moment, everyone paid attention to him.

First, because he opened his mouth for the first time during the test.

Second, because he was the only one here who wasn’t an instructor.

“Could you stop interrupting me like it’s an obvious thing? And why the hell is he here?”

Raina got annoyed at him for cutting off her words.

“There’s nothing we can do…”

Everyone nodded at the other instructor’s words. Considering his status, the instructors could do nothing.

“I came here because I thought there was something fun to watch. And I’ve been keeping my mouth shut, right?”

He grinned brightly.

His torn eyes were always full of suspiciousness.

“My father told me to do some work. So, I just passed by.”

His name is Edward Klaus.

His father was Juliut Klaus, the 21st principal of Innocence Academy.

“Everyone was frustrated with something obvious, so it was hard to keep my mouth shut. I hate troublesome things.”

“Ha.”

Raina snorted at Edward.

Edward continued without showing his face.

“To get down to business. Each magic has no choice but to have structural weak points, and it causes magical interference there to invalidate the other’s magic. Dispel. I’m sure you all know this.”

“But this dispatch requires essential prerequisites, right?”

“…Do you have to have a better understanding of the magic that the other person has demonstrated?”

Raina easily solved Edward’s unexpected quiz.

This was a process that supported Edward’s explanation.

“But that Zetto guy seems like he’s not able to handle his mana, let alone magic.”

Edward uttered meaningful words without losing his smile.

“It was like that. Isn’t that why it doesn’t make sense?”

“I’m sure everyone thinks so. But I think….”

“…He’s ‘seeing’ everything.”

“What are you talking about?”

He’s obviously blind, so what can he see?

The instructors frowned at Edward’s absurd remarks.

“Oh, to be exact, the expression ‘feel’ is more correct than ‘seeing’.”

“Well, it’s just my guess anyway…”

“…What if he’s reading and sensing mana itself?”

“What if he could instinctively penetrate the weak point of the magic he saw for the first time with such a ‘nonsense’ sense?”

Edward’s hypothesis was enough to draw interest from the instructors.

“If that’s the case… Is it the realm of talent or effort?”

The topic has long been a discussion of the dispel presented by Zetto, not grading.

“Well, I’ve seen cases when they lose important senses such as vision and hearing, and other senses get amplified, but…”

“Hahaha. It wasn’t to this point. Not all blind and deaf people in the world can do that.”

“If even the blind man’s handling of the sword in the first place is special, it should’ve been considered a special ability already. Of course, as a cadet at the academy, there must have been something else…”

“This kind of ability…”

The instructors had the same feeling of admiration from Aizel, who had previously taken the test, and were uncertain about Zetto as ‘unknown’.

Excellent cadets were occasionally seen.

Of course, Aizel was a great cadet beyond that.

However, the topic of ‘unknown’ that they cannot figure out, such as Zetto, was different.

“I don’t think we will have the answer if we sit here and talk about it.”

Edward sorted out the heated discussion of the instructors.

He had a point.

However, that doesn’t solve the doubts that have grown in the minds of instructors.

Knowing that, Edward offered a simple solution to this situation.

“I mean, we can talk to him in person.”

“…”

“I think it could be a kind of favoritism.”

Edward smiles an insidious smile when he hears it.

“Favoritism? Instructor Kaliman. This is Innocence Academy.”

“At Innocence Academy, skills are everything and your own force is everything. Favoritism? Did the cadets who claim it have any special ability as much as Zetto?”

Kaliman instructor shrugged.

Instructor Kaliman had only a deep bad relationship with Edward, he was well aware of the way the academy was taught.

“But why do you decide that you’re not even an instructor?”

Raina’s sharp rebuke came in.

However, Edward’s subsequent remark was unexpected.

He wouldn’t understand if his father, Juliut, was here.

“I was thinking about being an instructor at this point.”

“And Miss Raina? I’d like you to be polite in this public place.”

“That brat…”

Raina hit the desk in a fit of anger at Edward’s criticism.

Judging from the atmosphere, it seems that there will be a disturbance here.

The instructors were even more disgusted by Edward’s wretched grin today.

***

‘I won.’

It was a pure emotion when I returned to the site after the test.

A weak point that can seen in magic

I don’t know exactly what I’m capable of.

My brain is still confused, but the result was good anyway.

When I looked around, I saw a dumbfounded Aamon.

Soon after he saw me, his eyes suddenly changed.

‘So scary.’

Aamon looked very upset.

Whether this will lead to his depravity or his inner growth.

Leaving him alone like this, everything will be up to him. Either way, I bet he’ll go on his own route.

However, there’s no need to make enemies.

It seems necessary to have a deep conversation with him sometime. It’s a deep conversation called ‘Sparring’.

Since the test was over, I went back to my seat where Yuri had been waiting.

When I went back to Yuri, I got a lot of questions from her.

“Zetto, what the hell is that?!…… G-Gosh, what was that?”

With her eyes sparkling, Yuri was so excited that she forgot the honorifics.

“What do you mean?”

Before I knew it, I think I got into the habit of acting sly in front of Yuri.

“Didn’t you dispel Aamon’s magic like you actually saw it?”

“…”

Should I call it ‘dispel’?

It’s different from what I’ve known, but the magic was invalidated, so I don’t know if I should call it a dispel.

First of all, a plausible excuse to answer Yuri, who was rushing me, came out first.

“I actually don’t know… It just became like that all of sudden.”

“…Stop joking.”

“I’m telling you.”

I really don’t know.

I was frustrated because I didn’t know exactly what ability it was and how it happened.

“…You don’t want to tell me. All right, I might have been ‘rude’.”

Yuri, who emphasized the word ‘rude’, has never looked at me since then, turning her head away from me.

I’d be blind to her and I don’t know what that means.

But I could tell because I wasn’t really blind.

Yuri seemed to be sulking.
