I Became The Academy’s Blind Swordsman

EP.3 Ghost Slayer Technique

Today is the second day of the break.

For two days, I concentrated on growing by mobilizing all the game knowledge I had.

“Thank you! Young man!”

“It’s not a big deal.”

“You can’t even see anything, but it’s amazing how you found our Chuchu.”

The old man was petting a cat named Chuchu which was in his arms.

It was very easy for me to know where the cat was hiding.

Of course, the cat was not as obedient as I thought, so I bought a fish from the fish store, but the result was good.

“It’s just a small gift. It will be a success since we used reliable ingredients this time!”

This seemingly ordinary old man is an alchemist.

To be exact, I think I should call him a crazy alchemist?

He was a character who appeared only in the beginning and then disappeared, so no one knows his name or his real identity.

Compensation was important to me anyway.

When the old man accepted the potion, he waved at me and disappeared into a shaded alley.

‘Did I finish all the side quests that can be easily solved in the beginning with this one?’

Organizing what to do wasn’t that difficult.

The quest with the right reward for the ‘swordsman’ job was better, and it had to be easy enough to solve in a short time even though it was a quest from the early part of the game.

Even though I skipped some, there were much more than I thought, so the sun was already leaving after finishing my work.

This potion, called ‘Unknown Potion’ in my hand now, actually has a tremendous effect of raising skill points.

ㅡGulp gulp

Without further delay, I inhaled the potion in a fit of anger.

“…Ugh.”

It tastes like trash.

I didn’t expect it to taste good because of the strange color, but I feel nauseous.

But they say that good medicines taste bitter.

I immediately checked the status window.

‘Skill points have definitely risen.’

I used all the remaining points at this time.

<Zetto> lv.10

Archived skill

-Ghost Slayer Technique Lv.8

-Excellent Sense lv.3

-Weakness Detection lv.MAX – Applying the effect of [Blindfold That is Beyond Reason]

Items in use

– Blindfold That is Beyond Reason. [Legendary]

– Low-quality Eastern Blade. [Normal]

– Energetic Silver Necklace. [Rare]

I worked hard for two days.

Looking at the status window showing progress accordingly, I feel proud.

Since the rewards from the quests, which only gave experience, were activated well, my level rose by five levels, and thanks to that, I was able to raise my skill level a lot.

The average level of cadets taking the class assignment test is about 6.

Compared to that, I was already at level 10.

The effect of the blindfold was also greatly applied to the ‘Experience Gained Increased by 500%’.

No matter what game it is, the difference between levels is obvious.

People in this world didn’t seem to know the existence of ‘levels’, but the difference must exist.

Once the level rises, the amount of mana in your body increases.

Mana can be seen as the basis of power in this world.

The wizard had to be able to handle Mana, much less a knight with a sword.

This is because it was common to fight by strengthening the body or weapon through Mana.

I feel that the amount of mana that was flowing in my body has also increased significantly compared to the first day.

At this rate, it may not be a dream to achieve the top score in the class assignment test.

‘Well, I’m still overwhelmingly lacking in hands-on experience.’

For your information, my wallet has become thick as I solved the quests.

I remember spending all my money a few days ago to ride in a carriage.

‘I’m hungry. Should I buy a sandwich on my way to the dorm?’

Near here, there was a famous sandwich shop called ‘Boar’, which was made with meat from wild boar monsters.

I think food is the most interesting part after coming to this world and to a place that I wouldn’t have thought about.

I was able to taste unusual food that was filled with the fantasy that I had only seen in the game, and the food was quite delicious.

Of course, the academy dormitory also provides good quality meals, but for me, who has played the game for a long time, the delicacies in the city attracted more attention.

Tonight’s dinner is a special boar meat sandwich.

***

The last day of the break

I got myself out of bed.

The single room was assigned by the academy

This means that there was no need to fight any unfamiliar men.

The interior of the room was very luxurious compared to the motel room I stayed in before coming to the academy.

In my case, I’ll be fine with everything as long as the bed is okay.

The bed in the motel that I mentioned earlier was like they put millions of straws on it, and since I’ve been used to being a modern person, I didn’t sleep well.

The bed in the dorm?

It was much better than the bed in my studio.

I overslept on the first day thanks to it.

Early in the morning, I washed up and finished preparing to go out.

Today, I’m going to the training ground to test my skills.

‘Passive skills have been applied well so far.’

‘Ghost Slayer Technique’ helped me handle the sword skillfully and flamboyantly, and ‘Excellent Sense’ provided me with a better response speed through my sharp sense.

For ‘Weakness Detection’, which was obtained through my blindfold, I haven’t experienced it yet, but I know what effect it had.

The effect of Weakness Detection is simply increasing the probability of fatal blow.

However, now that it’s a reality, I still don’t know how it will work. I haven’t experienced any combat yet, so I guess I’ll get to know more only if I get into a fight.

When I arrived at the training ground, I warmed up lightly.

“Is he… blind?”

“He’s even holding a sword.”

“He must be a freshman, too.”

I got the attention from the cadets who came first, but as I wandered around for two days to complete the quests, these turned out to be a familiar reaction.

I just have to mind my own business.

ㅡSling

I took out my sword slowly.

The eastern blade that I was holding.

It was better to cut than to stab.

I immediately swung it with grace.

‘Ghost Slayer Technique’.

Originally, ‘Ghost Slayer Technique’ is a skill that can work only when the spirit of the dead, which is a devil(鬼), is contained in the sword.

In this world, you can only shine when you use it with a Spectralsword(妖刀), which is a demon sword.

Depending on whose soul the Spectralsword contains, how strong the soul has, and how strong the soul was during its lifetime, the performance of ‘Ghost Slayer Technique’ varies widely.

It’s difficult to perform well from the beginning, but if the conditions are met, it can show high power.

To do so, the first priority is to make a sword that can withstand a strong evil spirit, and it’s essential to find a strong soul and seal it in the sword to make a Spectralsword.

An ingredient that is resistant to the evil spirit is needed to make a sword.

Funds to entrust production to a skilled blacksmith.

It wasn’t something that could be solved in only a few days.

There’s no big problem with a powerful soul.

It can be solved quickly with my game knowledge.

There are some suitable candidates who know the location because they’ve already used the Ghost Slayer Technique technique in games.

As powerful as they are…

‘…It’s not going to be as easy as the game.’

Although the Ghost Slayer Technique technique wasn’t showing its performance, it’s still swordsmanship for now.

Surely, the skill level has risen, so the sword itself moved faster and more flashy than before.

I swung my sword further and stopped.

“Haa… Haa…”

I’m out of breath.

I can even feel the hot drops of sweat flowing through my face clearly.

It was because I pulled out Mana as much as possible and wielded a sword with it in my whole body.

How the hell did they train in this way…?’

I might have slightly more mana than other cadets, but I still have a weak point compared to them.

Dealing with mana.

I’m weak at controlling my mana.

I just let mana flow all over my body.

It’s almost impossible to use as much mana as I want in the desired area.

There was no mana in modern times.

Mana could never be used to this unfamiliar energy in my body.

It was a much more alien sense than three more tails and arms that humans should not have.

Even in the game, mana was just a basic stat bar.

And the player omitted the process of dealing with it.

Because it’s a game.

But in this world, mana was so important.

It was a worldview in which even the commoners who carried heavy loads could use mana to lift their luggage more easily.

So I was just copying one of the key characters’ training methods to get more familiar with mana.

A very, very simple practice of wielding a sword with a mana all over my body until I’m exhausted.

Having lost all my strength, I lay down on the side of the wall of the training ground.

This time, neither the knowledge of the game nor the performance of fraudulent items could solve this problem.

***

Around when the surroundings became dim and the buildings lit up one by one.

I led my throbbing body out of the drill hall.

Indeed, there was no significant effect in one day.

My whole body was a disgrace.

Bones creak and muscles struggle to rest.

‘I still have some time before the test, but I was too greedy.’

I can’t do anything more today.

I should go back to the dormitory and take a deep rest.

On my way back to the dormitory with a desperate walk.

The appearance of the character approaching from the other side of the boulevard is familiar.

“Ha.”

There is a snort as soon as I notice her presence.

‘I didn’t see her at the entrance ceremony… But it seems like it’s not that she didn’t enter the school.’

Not only is she the main character, but the girl I’ve been searching for since the entrance ceremony.

A white coat over a uniform as her signature.

Her brilliant platinum blonde hair shines brilliantly with the bright moonlight as a light.

As I slowly got close to her.

It was a relief.

If she hadn’t existed in this world, things would have gone so much different.

She was just that important to me.

Perhaps a lot more than when she’s in the game.

Her golden eyes were so close now that I could see them with my own eyes.

If this was the game and I was the player, I’d talk to her at this time… But I knew it might not happen.

But she didn’t walk past me and stopped right in front of me.

I had no choice but to stop because of her who blocked me from the front.

“…”

“…”

I was wondering if I should say something, but there’s no way she would speak up and I could hear her voice.

She was just watching me with her mouth shut.

Eyes that seem like a lot of thoughts are passing by.

Her expression is complicated, and only indescribable emotions can be felt.

“May I help you…?”

“…”

There was no answer.

She ended up standing there for a long time, and then passed by, staring at me.

‘What the hell just happened?’

I looked back at the ridiculous sight, but only the back of her walking silently past me can be seen.

Her name is Aizel Ludwig.

I tried to save her by doing countless retries in the game.

…This game, I mean, the only ‘regressor’ in this world.
