I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy

36. Labyrinth (5)

“Acupuncture… You must have practiced a lot, right?”

Priscilla tilted her head and asked.

“Sure, don’t worry.”

I gave Priscilla a smile that gave her confidence.

Her gaze reaches my waist as I answered.

‘As expected, to some extent, she feels it too.’

But Priscilla didn’t care more than that. Now, the treatment of the injured comes first.

This medical technology exchange meeting quest, which is a related quest in the Lycanthrope episode, is a kind of benefit given to those who choose the medical technology exchange meeting when choosing an exchange meeting.

Having learned acupuncture at the exchange meeting, all I had to do was get rid of the ‘confusion’ of the status quo from them.

I followed Priscilla into the infirmary.

“The monster’s claws were poisonous, and the injured cadets are confused.”

As Priscilla continues to explain to me, I hear the groans of the students.

“Ughhhhh”

You can see the wounded lying on the bed struggling.

“Well, that’s why it’s difficult to infuse ‘Heal’. It can be solved by putting acupuncture myself or using ‘Divine Clear’, but it takes a long time. So, Zeto… Where is ‘Confused Blood’? Do you remember?”

“…this part of the wrist of the left arm.”

I answered Priscilla, pointing to the chaotic blood on my arm.

“It’s accurate. But it’s not easy to put acupuncture on as much as the injured struggle a lot with confusion. If it seems difficult, can you tell me now?”

Priscilla’s question continued.

In the game, at this time, if you have not reached the 2nd level of acupuncture, you have no choice but to choose not to do it.

I’m already level 3 in acupuncture, and I was confident that I could heal.

I nodded to Priscilla and put my backpack down in a corner of the infirmary.

“It seems possible.”

So I was assigned the role of spitting on the wounded to clear up the ‘confusion’ before Priscilla healed.

It’s okay, but it’s just enough to cut down on time.

“Ugh…”

I sat next to Priscilla and grabbed the struggling cadet’s left arm.

I had to aim for the time when I was weak.

In the game, it was a mini-game like a rhythm game.

At that moment, I felt my left arm loosen and lose strength.

Place the acupuncture needle in the correct position in an instant.

how many seconds had passed

Eventually, the frown of the cadet becomes comfortable, and the violent struggle subsides.

“Hmm. My skills have improved quite a bit…?”

Priscilla, who was heeling the cadet I had put acupuncture on, praised and questioned at the same time.

“Ahahahaha… I practiced a lot.”

I moved on to another cadet scratching my head. Priscilla glanced at me like that and soon focused on healing.

[My student has a lot of talent. Acupuncture…]

Meanwhile, Sierra was floating by, watching my acupuncture with interest.

Since then, it has been an iterative task.

Grasp the victim’s arm, wait for the strength to wear off, and then acupuncture.

I feel fatigue rushing through my body.

After spending 30 hours in the labyrinth, I had to take a break.

‘Let’s exert a little more strength.’

It was a time when the ‘confusion’ of the injured cadets was steadily removed and Priscilla’s treatment was getting faster.

“The last wounded!”

Butler, the senior cadet who told me about this, enters the infirmary with the injured person assisted.

There was also a glass behind it.

“What, Zeto!?”

Yuri, who found me, exclaimed.

She, too, was helping the wounded.

“hahahaha, nice to meet you again.”

However, Yuri and I did not have time to have a leisurely conversation.

Butler moved the injured cadets according to Priscilla’s guidance and checked the condition of the injured’s bleeding.

Yuri stepped away from the infirmary for a while and blended in with the crowd of cadets who were watching the situation from afar.

After a while, the treatment of the urgently injured in the infirmary was over.

The rest was left to Butler and Priscilla.

Butler is a little bit, but it looks like he can use ‘heel’.

Looking outside the infirmary, I saw cadets with shallow injuries leaning against the wall.

They were moderately conscious.

I approached the female cadet who was closest to me.

“Where else would be uncomfortable?”

“Uh, two… little headache…”

“Can you relax your arm?”

Now it was time to get the information.

As I lay down, I naturally ask questions in a friendly voice.

“What kind of guy was he?”

“I didn’t see it well because it was so fast… More, I think it was much bigger than a person…”

“…It must have been a terrible experience. Do you remember what floor it was on?”

“The 5th floor… It was the 5th floor…”

The female cadet raised her head and thoughtfully recalled her memories before replying.

I purr my lips and let go of saliva at her who was still, and open my mouth a little later.

“…Does the headache get better?”

“Yes, yes…! My head is clear…”

“Fortunately, the.”

“You must be uncomfortable with your eyes, but you’re amazing… Thank you.”

“It’s nothing. I’m glad it helped.”

Leaving those words behind, he passed the blushing female cadet and dug up information from others as well.

[Disciple, do you really have to touch your arm like that… But since you can’t see, that’s the only way… ]

Having finished all my work, I sat down on a corner of the wall outside the infirmary, leaving Sierra’s pouty grunts behind, and gathered the information in my head.

It was bulky.

dark gray fur.

Its claws were very long and sharp.

I felt like a wild beast.

The lycanthrope was certain.

He was on the 5th floor.

‘Should I say fortunate…’

Today I finished on the 3rd floor, so when I go down to the 5th floor, the level will rise a little more.

Most of the cadets looking around the infirmary seemed to be waiting for their friends or out of curiosity.

Among the crowd, the female students seem to be particularly busy chatting.

In the meantime, I could see Yuri’s face, but her expression wasn’t very good, perhaps because she was tired.

[ …As expected, our student is overly friendly, so it seems to be a problem, especially to women. ]

Sierra, who was wandering around among the cadets, came up to me and spit out words that I don’t know the meaning of.

Then, Sierra smiles bloodyly with her eyes narrowed at them.

‘Because he’s like that sometimes…’

After that, as a few cadets left the infirmary after treatment, the group of cadets gradually decreased.

Soon after, Yuri slowly approaches me and taps me on the shoulder to talk to me.

“Jetto, are you almost done?”

“I guess so. As soon as I got out of the labyrinth, I wonder what this is, hahahaha… What a crazy day.”

It is said that Yuri also grasped the situation as soon as she came out of the labyrinth and immediately helped Butler.

“They said they helped right away without saying anything… The Clementine family would be magicians, but they’re also good at strength!”

Butler, who was in the infirmary, looked at Yuri and shouted loudly.

Yuri muttered, ‘It’s not until business…’ and then turns her head away from Butler.

“Is it very late?”

I asked Yuri.

It was the reason to eat together when everything was over.

“Yeah, I’m going back now.”

“I think I’ll have to finish it and go back.”

“Okay. Then see you next time. You really worked hard today.”

I exchanged greetings with Yuri, who was smiling so brightly.

Seeing her smile again, it must have been because she was tired.

Shortly after Yuri leaves, Priscilla comes out of the infirmary.

“Haa… It’s over now.”

Priscilla stands in front of the infirmary door, stretches out, then turns to look at me.

To be precise, my eyes were on my sword.

The reward for completing the quest has not yet been received.

It means that the quest is not over for some reason.

“Jetto, do you have a minute? I heard there’s something to talk about.”

Priscilla asked me that.

‘Is something coming…’

Priscilla seems to bring up the story of the urethra.

“All right.”

I silently followed her.

Following Priscilla, they arrived at the rooftop of the academy. It was late at night, so no one was on the roof.

Cool air flows into the lungs without obstruction.

“Today was hard.”

Priscilla, leaning against the railing, opened her mouth.

I didn’t get into the main topic from the beginning.

“hahahaha, the medical officer had a harder time.”

“Sometimes this happens when there are monsters that are difficult to defeat on the lower floors… Your acupuncture skills have improved considerably. Have you practiced hard? It’s commendable.”

Priscilla praises me and smiles softly.

I was funny along with her, but that wasn’t the point.

Priscilla’s eyes had been directed to Yodo from earlier.

Judging from the fact that her gaze was not directed at Sierra, who was hovering next to me, it didn’t seem like a lump of Yogi was visible like the Daedroth from before.

But he seldom talked about it.

“How did you practice acupuncture?”

“Like the last time, it’s moderately Bohr’s skin…”

“Hmm… You can’t improve your skills that much, right?”

Priscilla, listening to my excuses, drools.

Her eyes were shining bright emerald with moonlight.

“…I don’t hate guys who have a lot of secrets.

Priscilla leaned against the railing as if collapsing backwards.

‘secret…’

Priscilla also had a secret.

It was related to her past.

In the game, if you get involved with Priscilla often, you can dig into her past.

The fact that she is now treating the cadets as a medical officer was nothing more than ‘redemption’ for her.

What’s unusual is that learning her past is a bad ending.

Priscilla, realizing that her past was uncovered, imprisons the player.

It was irresistible.

The player couldn’t cope with anything, and it was the ending of confinement.

So it was better to keep some distance from Priscilla.

After staring at the moon without saying anything for a while, Priscilla soon lowers her head.

“…Anyway, thanks to you, the treatment was comfortable. Take this.”

Priscilla said that and threw a snazzy pouch at me.

I naturally snatched my pocket and asked her.

“What is this?”

“This is the money the cadets gave to me as a thank you earlier. I already gave it to Butler. You can think of it as a reward.”

“aha…”

I put the pouch into my bosom and felt a surge of energy all over my body.

‘Is it a level up?’

All quests are over.

After saying that, Priscilla was slowly leaving the rooftop.

In the end, she didn’t even ask me about the sword.

‘I thought he’d ask me something because he brought me to the roof… Is this a comfortable solution?’

When I stayed on the roof and looked around, it was already dark.

There was a round full moon in the sky, standing still and streaming in light.

[ …There are quite a few suspicious guys in this academy. Instructors, cadets, let alone medical officers…? ]

Sierra’s words that follow penetrate the great features of this game, and laughter leaks out.

“Ha… I will.”

I strongly agree with what she said.

***

After a good rest, I searched the labyrinth again early in the morning.

It was the way to split the Orcs on the 4th floor and go down to the 5th floor. It was to meet the lycanthrope on the 5th floor.

I had finally found the stairs leading down.

I checked the status window as I slowly descended the stairs.

Yesterday’s medical technology exchange meeting quest raised 2 levels. After quickly skimming from the 3rd floor to the 4th floor, I went up one more level, and now I am level 23.

I invested all of them in demon swordsmanship with 2 points left.

Thanks to that, Yeokcheon’s level has risen… but I can’t use ‘Chapter 2’ yet.

Judging from the rough estimate, it seems that if you raise the skill level once more, you will be able to use 2 cards.

The fishy smell of blood intensifies with each step down the stairs.

It was clear that he was on the 5th floor.

Whether it be cadets or monsters, he would be tearing apart anything that caught his eye.

When I went down the stairs and stepped onto the fifth floor for the first time, I saw a tall man.

It was a face I knew, even if I wasn’t very familiar with it.

“You guys…”

As soon as he found me, he lowered his voice like a ferocious dog growling.

‘Amon Caligus?’

As usual, he was glaring at me with stone gauntlets on both arms.

“The ‘hunter’ on the 5th floor is mine. Don’t think about getting spit on. Get out.”

Amon told me so.

It seems that he also heard the rumors and came to the 5th floor to catch the lycanthrope.

Sometimes a good idea comes to mind.

“…Ah, then I have no choice but to yield.”

I smiled at Amon and replied.

Thanks to kind Amon, I can guess how much power the Lycanthrope has.
