I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy

38. regressor’s prank

“Amon! Are you still alive?”

I crossed the lycanthrope slope and approached the place where Amon was.

Soon, Amon collapsed under the wall came into view.

“Well…”

Amon must have been paralyzed as he fell from hitting the wall, and he was lying face down, only rolling his eyes and not giving any other answer.

[You must have inhaled the powder as it is, couldn’t paralysis be treated with acupuncture? ]

Sierra asks me from the side.

As she said, it was a problem that could be easily solved by putting acupuncture into the paralytic blood.

But I coldly turned my back.

‘I don’t want to see the back of a grown man.’

Paralytic blood was in the back.

If I had to release the paralysis anyway, I’d just mumble, but even if I didn’t release it, the paralysis would go away on its own after a little while.

Turning my back on Amon, I moved to the place where the body of the Lycanthrope was.

The guy had been cut cleanly.

Reverse Heaven ‘Chapter 1 Space’.

It was the first time in practice.

[That’s great. As you get used to the inverse, did the proficiency of the inverse increase?]

Sierra questions my growth, which I don’t understand at all.

Now that the skill level has risen, it is smoother than the reverse flow shown before.

After catching him, the level went up one more level. 4 skill points left.

I think that if I pour this into demon swordsmanship as it is, I will be able to write Chapter 2 of Yeokcheon. Of course I will save it.

I lifted the head of the lycanthrope lying on the floor.

Even in the game, there was not much information about Lycanthrope.

How or why did they get mixed up in the labyrinth, why are they randomly attacking everything they see in front of their eyes…

I have a lot of questions, but since I couldn’t communicate with him, there was no information I could find out.

But what I had to do now was decided.

ㅡPoo-wook.

I plucked the eyeballs from his head.

[Oops… where are you going to pluck out his eyeballs and use them? I really don’t even know ]

Sierra let go of her embarrassment.

Right now Amon could hear it, so he couldn’t answer Sierra’s question.

What is certain is that what I will do in the future is something I am reluctant to do.

I had to eat his eyeballs.

That was the reward that could be obtained from the Lycanthrope.

‘In the game, I didn’t know much about it because it ended with just eating an eyeball…’

There were many dark places in the labyrinth.

Eating lycanthrope eyeballs gives one advantage.

I was able to learn the skill ‘Night Vision’, which makes a dark place look bright.

As it appeared in the labyrinth as the first boss, it can be seen that it served as a ‘flashlight’ for players who will frequently visit the labyrinth in the future.

However, I am very reluctant to actually take action.

‘Should I ask a chef I know how to cook eyeballs…’

By the way, the ‘eyepatch’ is covering the eyes, but it might be applied well.

‘Let’s put off eating until later.’

There was one more eyeball left, but I didn’t bother to take care of it.

The night vision skill was at the maximum level of level 1. Eating one more won’t work.

I wrapped the plucked eyeball in a cloth and put it in my backpack.

Then, holding the head of the lycanthrope in one hand, he took out the pass from his bosom.

I could see Amon’s pupils quivering from the other side, but I tried to ignore it.

You know you’ll come out well.

It was time to go.

***

When I came out of the labyrinth, the sun had already set.

I thought I went down to the 5th floor all at once, but time passed by.

He took the head of the dripping lycanthrope and went straight ahead.

An employee who was managing access to the labyrinth found me and ran to me in awe.

“There cadet…! That… what is he holding in his hand…?”

“This guy was on the 5th floor. But the body didn’t disappear and he got caught on his feet. I thought it was strange, so I brought him out.”

“The 5th floor… I think I need to go see the instructors right away, but could you please follow me?”

“Yeah.”

“Then this way…!”

Because of the situation, the staff goes out to guide them directly.

The way to walk with the staff holding the head of the lycanthrope.

Of course, the attention of the cadets around him could not help but be focused.

“What is that?”

“Lycan Slope…? Could it be that the guy on the 5th floor…”

“Ah, how can you be in a labyrinth when you’re not even a monster?”

“Did you just come out of the labyrinth?”

I just came out of the labyrinth and heard the whispers of the cadets nearby.

“Did he say Jeto?”

“Did you see me sleeping yesterday?”

“saliva?”

“He was very kind…”

Among them were the whispers of female students who were talking for slightly different reasons.

I didn’t care too much and left the noisy cadets behind and quickly followed the staff.

It was only natural that his reputation would rise from this incident.

From this point on, the player also starts to get noticed by the other cadets at once.

Following the staff, I entered the academy’s main building and found the instructors’ conference room.

The meeting room was empty.

There was no way I was having a meeting at this time.

“Then, I’ll call the instructors. Just sit down and wait.”

The employee leaves me with such words and rushes out of the meeting room.

I sat on a nearby chair, put the lycanthrope’s head on the desk, and waited for the instructors to come.

As it was the first boss, it was a scene I had seen many times in the game.

‘The process is a bit cumbersome to go through in real life.’

I thought about things like it would be nice if there was a skip and silently waited for the instructors to come.

In less than a few minutes, the instructors who were unable to take a vacation and remained at the academy arrive at the conference room.

Among them was Reina.

Then my explanation began.

Impurities mixed into the labyrinth.

Even if you look at the history of the academy, it was unusual.

Since the case was unique, the topic of discussion was how it came into the labyrinth rather than how it was defeated.

The instructors actively talked about it, and it came to an end to some extent.

…the conclusion was ‘unknown’.

The case ended with the abnormality of the labyrinth.

Opinions have been exchanged about the need to pay special attention to labyrinth management in the future, but this will not happen again, at least in the labyrinth.

In fact, the instructors and the academy staff couldn’t do anything special.

Rather, I was more curious about why the sage, who should be in the depths of the labyrinth, left this impurity behind.

‘Was the Sage and the Depths truly ‘unimplemented’ in the game?’

It is difficult to predict the plans of a person who has lived for hundreds of years.

Then I just proceed as I have been through in the game.

After the instructors’ meeting, Reina, who was still in her seat, caught my eye.

Reina asks me while looking at the head of the lycanthrope.

“By the way, Cadet Zeto. He… Where did one of his eyeballs go?”

“Ah, that’s my trophy…”

“It’s a trophy… that’s fine. Anyway, you did a good job this time. Thanks to you, we reduced the number of injured. I think it was good that you lend me the bracelet.”

Raina smiled happily as she glanced at her bracelet on my wrist.

It seems that he liked this job quite a bit.

“hahahaha, I was just wandering around the labyrinth.”

Reina, who has a bad mouth, scratched her head because it was a bit awkward for her to praise.

“I heard you helped Priscilla this time? He praised your acupuncture skills as no joke, Priscilla.”

“I heard that you two are close.”

“Well, since we went to the academy together, we met often at bars and naturally became close.”

Raina was very fond of alcohol.

What’s unusual is that he likes to drink even though his drinking is filthy weak.

To the point where you can meet a drunk Raina whenever you visit the bar in the academy at night.

‘Priscilla can’t sleep well because of memories of the past, so she drinks often…’

Raina, who had been knocking on the desk, stood up from her seat and continued talking.

“Anyway, the academy will give you a fairly large reward. The academy just blew your nose without touching it, and you proved your skills…”

skill supremacy.

It was a reward worthy of Innocence Academy.

‘If it was the original plan, I was going to collect that reward and collect the money to make a sword.’

Thanks to you, I will make a lot of money.

You need to think deeply about where to spend your money later.

The more money you have, the more things you can do. Especially outside the academy.

Raina leaves the meeting room and leaves me with one last word.

“It can be a little later to get the bracelet back. Later, I’ll have to scold Edward for raising him with my bracelet. hahahaha!”

I couldn’t help but raise the corners of my mouth when I heard Reina’s words followed by a hearty laugh.

‘I was worried because Raina didn’t leave the conference room.’

Even if it was lent, it was an epic grade item. I was using it so much that it was inconvenient without a bracelet.

Bracelets, rewards, eyeballs, even fame.

Grabbing the lycanthrope resulted in quite a lot.

The level that has risen quickly in the labyrinth is a bonus.

[ …Watching our student get recognized by others, it doesn’t feel too bad. ]

Sierra comes up to me as I sit in an empty conference room and strokes my cheek.

‘I haven’t talked to Sierra much today…’

I’m going to go back to the dormitory and solve Sierra and Hoepo.

***

After finishing all the work, I was on my way back to the dormitory.

‘I cleared the first boss easily… There’s still time until the next one…’

Come to think of it, the sparring with Kaen remained.

I don’t know when she’ll ask for sparring, but I wonder if she’ll talk to me in the near future.

‘It seems that Yuri is wandering around the labyrinth in moderation…’

Priscilla.

I need to keep some distance from her.

The point is that she passed it over without saying anything even after noticing the urethra.

I don’t know what the intention is, but I think it would be uncomfortable for her to be interested in me any more.

‘Eisel is…’

I stopped my steps thinking that.

It was because I saw a familiar platinum-haired girl walking in front of me.

Eisel’s sullen eyes, seeing for the first time in a few days, were still the same.

Soon after, Eisel comes up to me and opens her mouth.

“…It seems like I haven’t seen you in a long time.”

“hahahaha, that’s right. Since we haven’t met since the labyrinth practice started… It’s been a while.”

It was only a few days, but considering the labyrinth where time flows slowly, the expression “long time no see” might be more appropriate.

Eisel felt a different, unknown aura from before. She had already grown to another level.

At Eisel’s suggestion that we could talk for a while, I followed her and sat down on a bench by the side of the road.

The lamplight with magic stones made her platinum hair even brighter as she sat on the bench.

Eisel, who was sitting on the bench, swayed her legs and then opened her mouth.

“… after hearing rumors, he went around solving a lot of work here and there.”

“A rumor?”

I looked at Aisel and asked.

Soon after, Eisel’s mouth opens to answer the question.

“Um… did you catch the lycanthrope in the labyrinth?”

“…It’s today, and rumors spread really fast.”

It was strange that the rumors didn’t spread.

“They say that he is good at acupuncture, and that he likes him because he is friendly and kind… he has become quite popular.”

Eisel frowned as if in a bad mood and continued.

“hahahaha, it was an urgent situation, so I just treated it as kindly as possible.”

Eisel’s expression softened a little at my answer.

After that, I had small talk with Eisel.

what did you eat

What was the labyrinth like?

How stupid the goblin I met on the third floor was.

…I couldn’t have a deep conversation.

She was a regressor, and I was a possessor.

We couldn’t pour our hearts out on anyone.

As if they were trying to understand each other’s position, no one spoke deeply.

It was obviously a boring conversation.

But even though it was such a trivial conversation, it seemed that my mind was gradually calming down.

Around the time the conversation suddenly ends well, Eisel makes an uncomfortable expression.

“My throat is burning after a long conversation.”

Eisel’s words that he was thirsty reminded him of the water he kept in his backpack when entering the labyrinth.

I rummaged through my backpack and found a water bottle. But the water bottle was empty.

It was because I drank a lot of water while running from the 3rd to the 5th floor.

“Oh, the water is all gone. A cafe nearby…”

I was rummaging through my backpack and took out an empty water bottle. Eisel, who had been watching me, interrupted my words and looked inside the backpack.

Soon, her hand moves.

“What is this…?”

Aisel, who had put her hand in her backpack out of the blue, came out of her hand to find a flask containing a pink liquid.

‘Oh right.’

I bought it the other day because Sierra wanted to buy it at the general store, but I forgot to take it out of my backpack.

“A potion of enchantment?”

Eisel, who was holding the flask, slowly reads the label.

If you do this, you will be stigmatized as a man who carries a ‘potion of enchantment’ in his backpack.

“Oh, that’s…”

“Isn’t this an ordinary drink with no special effect?”

Eisel, who interrupted me to try to rectify the situation and came in, tilted her head slightly and said,

A regressor was a regressor.

She, too, knew that this was a potion that was nothing more than a simple drink.

“It was given to me by the owner’s grandmother when I stopped by the general store, but I put it in my backpack and forgot to eat it. I didn’t expect it to be a potion with that name…”

I thought I was relieved and naturally made an excuse.

[Was that just an ordinary drink…]

Sierra’s regretful voice resounds after learning the truth about the potion of enchantment.

why do you feel sorry

Eisel heard my answer and opened the lid of the flask.

“I’m thirsty. Is it okay if I drink this?”

Eisel asks me in a dry tone.

I nodded at her.

Eisel, who received my permission, immediately drinks the potion of enchantment.

It seems that passing it in a hurry made my throat very dry.

It was just a delicious drink anyway.

Something different happens…

ㅡ Clang!

…Suddenly, Eisel, who was drinking the potion, dropped the flask on the floor.

As if the potion was finished, the drink did not spill out of the broken flask.

“Jetto… I… Something’s wrong with my body…”

Eisel muttered in a weak voice.

Finally, Eisel came close to me with her cheeks flushed.

Eisel’s eyes seemed to be bewitched by something.

He shuts his mouth tightly and stares at me.

I didn’t know if it was Eisel’s acting, who was an outstanding actor, or if I had bought the real ‘potion of enchantment’.

[My, disciple… Didn’t I say it didn’t work…? ]

Sierra hurriedly covers her eyes with her hands and stutters, not knowing what to say.

No matter how much I thought about it, it couldn’t have worked.

But why is Aizel behaving like this?

Aizel’s hand suddenly approaches and grabs my hand.

Then, slowly place my hand on your left chest.

At the tips of my fingers, I can feel the touch of the uniform shirt covering her breasts and the beating of her heart.

“uh…”

My mind goes blank at the sudden occurrence.

Soon after, Eisel thrusts his face into my face.

Her moist lips glistened in the light of the street lamp.

‘If the potion of enchantment were real… what would happen?’

The situation was not judged properly.

Regardless of that, Eisel’s face was getting closer and closer.

It was now so close that her breath could reach my mouth.

I had to push her away, but my body won’t move.

I wanted to kiss you, but Eisel’s head twisted just before that.

Then she pressed her lips into my ear.

“……It’s a joke, hehehe.”

I heard her strange laugh in my ear, and then Eisel moved away from me again.

Eisel’s lips went up as if she was having fun.

“It was just a normal, delicious drink. The reaction is funny.”

“Then why are your hands…?”

Even though her head was dizzy, she managed to throw a question at Eisel, who was smiling a lot.

“The sound of the heart. I thought it would be easier for you to remember the one you can touch and feel rather than the one you can hear.”

Eisel, who opened her glamorous eyes, whispered a little to me.

Sierra, who watched this scene quietly, spoke words that Eisel couldn’t hear.

[Yo, Yomanghan…]
