I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy

1. An eyepatch that pierces reason

Good things have always come to me, and misfortunes have always come along with them.

As if the sweet fortune doesn’t fit in my fountain.

There was a special event where a very rare item from a favorite game was gifted to just one person.

It was a single game, not an online game with PVP elements, so people wondered if there was such an event.

Of course, I also applied.

I didn’t want to win.

There was an event, so I applied, the action that just continued like breathing.

However, the one winner was me, and I never dreamed that it would lead to ‘possession’.

＜Zeto＞ Lv.5

-Excellent senses lv.1

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

-Eye patch that pierces reason [Legendary]

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

Even though it is a vivid reality, this unrealistic, familiar screen floating in the air was enough to confuse me.

At first I thought it was really a dream.

However, it didn’t take long to realize that this was reality.

This place, this world I was most familiar with, was neither a game nor a dream, but an obvious reality.

The initial skills taken in the character creation window became my body’s strength, and the ‘eyepatch’, a special item I received before being possessed, became a valuable item that could not be exchanged for anything.

And a nickname I came up with without much thought.

‘Zeto’ has become my name for living in this fantasy world from now on.

I’m blind because I’m wearing an eyepatch that covers both eyes.

If you are blind, of course it is a sword.

blind swordsman.

How well matched and cool.

Those two words were the concept of this character I roughly thought of.

As I touch my eyes to remind myself of reality, I feel the thin cloth covering my eyes.

‘An eyepatch that pierces reason.’

‘Legendary’ grade items that are hard to find anywhere, not only in games, but even now that the world in games has become a reality.

In terms of rank, it was the highest, best, and strongest rank at the end.

It looked like an ordinary white bandage from the outside, but as the name ‘eyepatch’ suggests, it had to be wrapped around the eyes to be the correct way to wear it.

The effect of this item explained by the game company had a fraudulent effect as the grade was the grade.

‘Experience gain increased by 500%’

‘Weakness detection skill level MAX’

‘Increases critical damage by 300%’

Even if you take out one of these items, it should be considered a very excellent item effect… Nevertheless, it is still vague.

The game was basically combat based.

That means from now on, instead of using a keyboard and mouse, I have to lead my own body, dodge the pouring magic and arrows, and clash swords against swords.

It was not easy for me, who had never fought properly in my life.

The good thing is that even though the eyes are undoubtedly covered by the eye patch, you can see clearly.

This is also the effect of the eyepatch that penetrates reason.

I looked up at the sky where the dazzling sunlight was beating down.

The sky was clear and blue without any superfluities.

On the street, I see people dressed like me walking by.

There was nothing out of sight.

Through the eyepatch, I was able to see without obstruction.

It was truly bizarre, infinitely fantasy-like.

‘It’s already the entrance ceremony.’

Jetto, no, I have been busy walking since early morning.

The last few days I’ve been possessed are like a prologue to a game.

Today is the day of the entrance ceremony of ‘Innocence Academy’, which was the main background of the game.

Since it was a typical academy game, you can see that the story in the game begins today with the entrance ceremony.

In fact, not entering the academy would be a way to live in this world, but all the information I have was obtained through games.

In other words, since it was information inside the academy, it is good to use it within the academy.

In that sense, I thought that leaving the academy from the beginning was not such a good option.

In this medieval fantasy world, there is no place like the academy for a commoner like me without a last name to aim for safe growth and success.

By the way.

‘It’s farther than I thought.’

I could have taken the carriage to the academy with the money I had, but wouldn’t it be a sudden stop, saying that the carriages in the outside area can go this far?

Innocence Academy is an educational institution and a fairly large city.

I knew it was a very closed tendency, but I thought it would be like this.

There was not much time left until the entrance ceremony, so it was about time to hurriedly move my feet and pass the street corner.

ㅡKudangtang!

I bumped into something coming my way from the other side of the street and I fell.

“No! Where did you leave your eyes…!”

It was a red-haired woman.

She raised her voice as if she was angry, but her words cut off.

I sat on the floor in a daze and slowly looked at her face.

Looking at her appearance, I could immediately recognize who she was. That’s because she was the main character in the game.

Red hair in fine braids the same color as dark blood.

Red eyes like sparks.

‘Yuri Clementine…’

If I had to bump into her, would I bump into this woman?

The daughter of Count Clementine, who became famous on the continent for her flame magic.

The only heir to Count Clementine’s family, and because of her beautiful appearance, she has the nickname ‘Flaming Flower’…

…I don’t really like that nickname.

What’s more important than anything in the current situation.

Yuri’s personality is hot-tempered.

To put it simply, a lot of anger.

“I’m sorry. I couldn’t concentrate…”

I scratched my head and said as lowly as possible.

If I touch Yuri’s planting here, nothing good will happen.

As she was a main character, there is a high possibility that we will encounter many more in the future.

“…ah.”

Suddenly, Yuri is speechless.

It was a while ago that I was completely speechless.

“No. I should have been more careful.”

Yuri took a deep breath and answered in a raised voice.

That Yuri Clementine apologizes?

It was a rare and unfamiliar look, but it was not that I couldn’t understand it.

Yuri’s gaze was on the eyepatch that should be covering my eyes now.

Yes.

My appearance was blind no matter who could see it now.

It’s a very simple thing.

If someone is covering their eyes with a bandage, of course they would think that they would be blind, and unless they were blind, there would be no reason for them to be walking down the street.

In fact, I could see clearly, but to others it was clear that I was blind.

I was in a bad mood, but I wanted to pour out my anger as usual, but if the opponent is blind, wouldn’t I be the only one who gets angry?

The Yuri I knew was a fiery woman who was angry all the time, but at least she knew how to keep the line.

I stopped lying on the floor and stood up, shaking off the dust.

“Judging by the color of your tie… you must be entering the academy today. My name is Yuri Clementine.”

Yuri held out her hand. Looking at my eyepatch, she said, “Ah.” I don’t know what to do with the sound.

I couldn’t help but laugh because her quirky look was cute.

“hahahaha. I can feel the extent to which I stretched out my hand. My name is Zeto.”

So I reached out and asked for a handshake.

The touch of her hand, which I only watched through the monitor screen, was very soft. It is hard to believe that powerful fire magic is pouring out of these slender hands.

“Feels…?”

“I can’t see, but I can feel what’s around me with my other senses. It’s not uncomfortable to move my body.”

The fact that I can see is not good for anyone else to know.

If it becomes known that this ordinary eyepatch around the eye is a special item, it could put your life in danger because of the stranger who is aiming for it.

It is a legendary grade item.

Its value must be enough to pierce the ears of the villains who are lurking deep in the dark.

Above all, as I know the effect of eye patch, I have to keep wearing this eye patch.

So I have no choice but to act blind.

Even with the addition of plausible excuses.

‘Aha~.’ glass that makes noise.

As she and I were both admitted students, we naturally started walking together.

“Do you handle a sword?”

Yuri’s eyes reach the sword on my waist.

“It’s still a low skill to say that I’m a swordsman anywhere.”

“If you’re a swordsman, you mean that swordsman from the East?”

I nodded in affirmation to Yuri’s words.

‘Swordsman’ is a job that actually existed in the game.

Wouldn’t it be better to be a blind swordsman than a blind knight?

I deliberately chose the sword of the East as the starting weapon that was decided upon when creating the character.

“As expected, I should say that she is the daughter of the Clementine family. You have a lot of knowledge.”

“Since I was young, I used to receive troublesome education. This much is no big deal.”

Despite the obvious praise, Yuri showed a subtle smile as if she felt better inside.

I don’t think I was a character who smiled so well when I was playing the game, but is the reality different?

The difference between the game and reality.

Things that were impossible in games may become possible in real life.

For example, even though I was able to increase my liking, I was in a game that didn’t lead to love with that person, but if I were now, wouldn’t I be able to try dating with the person I want.

The most important thing.

‘No matter what option I choose in the game, I might be able to revive the dead character now.’

That meant quite a bit to me.

It’s because I also tried retrying to save a certain character.

I was immersed in my thoughts for a while, and then I felt that people were crowded around me.

“Looks like you’re almost at the academy.”

“Come to think of it… How did you find your way until you met me?”

“Yeah… I asked people around me for directions or walked along the road that many people were going to. I figured that there would be a lot of cadets walking around the city at this time.”

“Whoa… That’s a pretty smart move.”

For some reason, it seems that the conversation continues to become an exploration of the life of the blind, but Yuri has a very curious personality, so there is no choice.

After walking along the road, the main building of the academy is finally revealed.

The main building of Innocence Academy, where talented young people from all over the continent gather, exudes grandeur worthy of its reputation.

The main story finally kicks off.
