I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy

5. Placement Test (1)

Amon Caligus.

I know this guy as well as Yuri Clementine.

A typical strong-weak-weak-type character.

Fallen or reformed and born again.

He is a guy who has two routes with different roles.

When he was corrupted, he was a character with a story close to a third-rate villain, but when he is reformed and undergoes an inner change, he becomes a reliable ally as a tanker boasting powerful defense.

Of course, even after becoming nice, the characteristic grumbling doesn’t change.

“…It doesn’t seem like an easy opponent.”

I said while fiddling with the sword at my waist.

All of a sudden, I had to deal with earth magic with high physical defense with a sword.

compatibility is not good

If he was a wizard, he would have been able to win by twisting his body somehow.

“Hmm… Amon is simple, so he’s prone to provocations, and he’s good at being careless, so if you’re looking for an opening, it’s worth trying.”

“I’ll try my best.”

Yuri also gave me advice, probably knowing that compatibility is not bad.

“…Monstero. The 10 people who were called earlier will go ahead.”

After my name was called, I followed the instructor’s words and moved forward.

As you walk, you see the group of people who took the test earlier returning to their seats.

Among them was Aizel.

Except for Eisel, the other nine seemed to keep a distance from her, as if she was afraid.

“Exam. Good luck.”

Eisel passes me, leaving a voice so low that others cannot hear it, and walks leisurely.

“…”

It was the same as the previous incident, and I don’t know why, but it seemed right that he was looking at me.

One thing is certain, that the Izel I have encountered countless times in the game is different from the one I have now.

To what extent is the information in the game that I remember correct and to what extent is it wrong?

What had she been through to show this attitude?

Thanks to Eisel’s unpredictable actions, my head is confused.

However, the bridge did not stop.

I had to move on.

But with the exception of Eisel, things were still going as I expected.

Ten cadets, including me, stood in front of the instructor.

The instructor, who confirmed the appearance, continues the same explanation as before.

“This test is a death match where you die and kill each other in a space created by fantasy magic. As we saw earlier, dying in it doesn’t mean you actually die.”

As I faced the instructor’s stern gaze right in front of me, tension began to creep up.

The huge figure of Amon standing next to me was also enough to make me nervous.

“So don’t be afraid and show your best abilities. From the start of the exam, think of them as enemies to be killed, not the same academy cadets, and go into battle. Use your abilities to survive for a long time or destroy all enemies. Throw. The instructors will watch all of your actions and score them. More than that.”

After completing the essential explanation, the instructor activates the magic circle prepared on the floor of the exam hall.

Soon, a dimensional door opened on the floor and swallowed all 10 cadets, including myself.

Eventually, the consciousness gradually.

It fades.

***

As soon as I came to my senses, I stood up and found myself in a place with thick grass and trees.

‘Is the terrain a forest?’

When I looked up, countless stars were emitting their own light.

The sound of grass insects could be heard around, and the fragrant grass smell stimulated the nose.

Are these all fantasies?

The environment was so vivid that it gave me goosebumps.

‘I have to be at this level to be a great wizard.’

This illusion magic was none other than the skill of the academy’s principal, Juliut.

A cool breeze blows and blows your hair.

‘I haven’t heard a loud sound yet.’

It seems that the battle has not already taken place.

I think everyone will wake up and make judgments about the situation at the same time.

However, due to the nature of the test, there is a high probability that it will be located not too far away.

Let’s move our steps somewhere first.

In this situation, whoever moves first and spots the enemy first has a huge advantage.

‘but.’

I quickly drew my sword and hit the object that was aiming at me.

ㅡBreak!!

An arrow made of ice hits my sword and shatters into powder.

‘…I wonder if it was over there that I found it first.’

It was a silent attack, close to a sudden attack, but thanks to the ‘excellent sense’ skill, I was able to manage to react.

I checked the direction of the ice arrow.

I see a cadet with a surprised expression on top of a tree there.

Is it a wizard who mainly deals with freezing magic?

The level doesn’t seem to be that high, so it was just right for the first opponent.

‘I thought what would happen if I met Amon from the beginning.’

lucky.

I still haven’t changed my location and run towards the guy who was preparing for the next spell.

The opponent was on top of a tall tree that seemed to be on the 3rd floor of a building, but for me, who had reached level 10, it was high enough to reach with just one leap.

“Ice Arrow!”

As soon as I rushed at him, another ice arrow flew at me, but I easily knocked it out.

Then, after infusing mana into his body, he leaped lightly.

“What kind of crazy…”

He looked completely bewildered as if he hadn’t even thought that he would jump this high at once.

The moment I was about to cut down the guy who was standing on a tree branch with a bewildered face in the air.

I could see several semi-transparent red circles on his body.

Instinctively, I slashed the waist where the largest of the red circles was.

ㅡSuddenly!

“Cheer.. Creeper!!”

Soon, a moan filled with pain is heard, and the half-dead body disappears as ashes in an instant.

There wasn’t even a splash of blood.

It was the effect of fantasy magic.

‘The red circles you just saw…’

Could it be the effect of the ‘Find Weakness’ skill?

‘I need to find out more.’

Combat is more fun than you think.

It was because I felt that my knowledge and efforts were not in vain.

I smiled faintly while holding a sword in the dark forest where a bleak atmosphere lingered.

***

ㅡQuad Deuk!!

Lower your stance, rush in at great speed, and cut down the enemy in front of you.

Unable to even scream, the opponent who splits in half turns to ash as before and is blown away by the wind.

The opponent who had just been knocked down used a two-handed sword.

I also wanted to see how far the performance of demon swordsmanship could reach without the ‘urethra’, but…

I finished most of the battles as quickly as possible because my body wouldn’t be able to withstand this excessive use of mana until the test was over.

This is the fourth.

After several battles, I was able to understand more about spotting weaknesses.

As I guessed, the red circle meant the opponent’s weakness.

No matter what kind of hard object it was, as long as the red circle passed by, it was sliced smoothly like tofu.

‘The important thing.’

Weaknesses were not limited to the opponent’s body or weapons.

The effect of the maximum level of weakness detection skill was not that great.

‘Even magic has weaknesses.’

I was able to find a clue about Amon’s opponent method here.

Fortunately, I realized this without meeting Amon.

I didn’t know why the red circle was formed even with magic. It wasn’t a skill that worked on this principle in the game.

‘Simply because the skill level is maxed out? Or maybe the effect of the ‘eyepatch’?’

As it is a Legendary grade item, there may be more hidden effects.

High-grade items often had such a thing.

The fact that I could see right now had to be seen as a hidden effect of the eye patch.

…Of course, it might be greed to want more effects here.

I was thinking about taking a break for a while.

I can feel someone’s presence behind me.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the body seemed to be quite large.

“What are you?”

I hear the voice of the guy who has my image in his eyes.

‘I heard that even a tiger will come when I say it.’

I turn around and look at his figure.

“What are you? Are you blind? Can’t see…?”

“…”

It was the appearance of Amon Caligus, who was not very good at talking.

A huge body that can reach 2 meters.

Huge gauntlets made of rocks stand out on both of his arms.

Amon’s basic attack is a blow using a gauntlet created by earth magic called ‘Earth Gauntlet’.

Depending on the situation, he may use earth magic such as ‘rock wall’ or ‘stone shower’.

Earth magic that boasts powerful physical defense.

On the other hand, there was no magic damage to my attack.

He grinned meanly when he saw the sword in my hand.

But likewise, I couldn’t lose my smile after checking his appearance.

It was because the red circle was clearly visible on his gauntlet.

‘Whether to fall or to reform.’

If possible, it would be better to be kind.

I slowly approached him step by step.

***

A place where instructors gather to watch the class assignment test.

Most of the instructors were concentrating on the transmission screen.

The grading was also grading, but the atmosphere was ripe as many fun things unfolded in this test from the instructor’s point of view.

“The two of you finally met.”

“Four Amon Caligus cadets. Zeto cadets four. Now that there are only two left, is the winner of this fight number one?

From the point of view of the instructors, Amon Caligus’ activity was within the expected range.

I thought that the outcome of this rider, where all the four elemental families gathered, would be obvious in a way.

However, with the appearance of Eisel, the ‘genius outside the standard’, the instructors can’t contain their excitement.

And then a cadet named Zeto appeared.

He wasn’t from a famous family, and he wasn’t known on the continent for showing off his skills early on.

new face.

That was not the only factor that caught the attention of the instructors.

“A guy named Zeto. Where are you from?”

“The place of origin is unknown. Besides, there are so many unknowns in the documents. In the first place, he said there was too much information… How did he enter the school?”

“Dark black hair… Judging from the shape of the sword he’s using, I think he came from the East.”

At this time, an interesting answer from an instructor who had a good knowledge of swordsmanship follows.

“Touhou… Come to think of it, there was a time when I happened to be in the east. They say that there are times when teaching swordsmanship involves deliberately covering one’s eyes for practice.”

“What? So you’re saying Jeto isn’t blind?”

“That’s not going to be the case. They only train like that for a better sense.

I didn’t know anything else, but I had to assume that he was right about swordsmanship.

The instructors couldn’t easily admit the existence of Zeto.

“Then, a guy who can’t see at such a young age dispels magic with a sword…”

“Reina, it was luck that coincided with circumstances? You misunderstood. How can you use magic with a sword…”

dispel.

The act of interfering with magic being cast and structurally destroying it.

Originally, dispel was supposed to be another type of magic that nullifies the opponent’s magic.

Jeto had previously dispelled magic with his sword when dealing with a magical cadet.

But the instructors all thought it was a coincidence.

Except for Raina, who was confident in dispel.

ㅡ Such a fuck!! what!!

Around the time the instructors are having a conversation, a curse word pops up on the transmission screen.

The protagonist of the foul language is none other than Amon, who was fighting Zeto.

“The gauntlet…is gone…?”

The instructor, who had denied Reina’s opinion until just now, opened his mouth.

As it was a gathering of instructors who had experienced countless battles, they had no choice but to admit it this time.

The gauntlet wasn’t physically broken.

The gauntlet disappeared as soon as it touched the sword.

It’s gone.

Amon’s ‘Earth Gauntlet’.

Amon’s Earth Magic.

It was clear that Zeto’s sword had dug into the structure of the Earth Gauntlet and dispelled it.

Reina shouted while staring at the instructor whose mouth was open as if to show off.

“That bastard is really weird?! He breaks magic with a sword!!!”
