I Became a Blind Swordsman at the Academy

52. Aftermath

[However, I don’t know how long you can endure with your current body… even the original woman. ]

“…a body?”

At my question, Sierra touched her chin and paused, then suggested something to me.

[It is said that one hundred words is worth a thousand words. Why don’t you try it once? If it were our disciple… there would be no death. ]

“Does that mean you could die if you do something wrong?”

[If you were the one who would die from this, you would have died when you completely twisted the flow of mana. Why don’t you believe in a girl you’ve seen? I wonder how many seconds you will last. ]

Sierra’s enchanting voice with her rather provocative eyes echoed in her head.

“Hmm…”

Looking at Sierra’s smile, he let out a drool.

‘It seems that the load on the body is as much as it is forcibly increasing the speed…’

I knew what kind of skill it was, but I couldn’t quite understand what kind of pain it was.

This is what Sierra, the creator of Yeokcheon, said, so he won’t die.

Time seems to increase as the level rises, but I also wondered how long I would last.

“I’ll give it a try.”

I said that and stood up from the stump.

The corner of Sierra’s mouth lifted as if she liked my unstoppable attitude, and then she opened her mouth.

[If you are going to test it in this place, it would be appropriate to cut down the falling leaves. You can detect leaves at least. ]

I nodded at Sierra’s words and stepped in front of a reasonably sized tree.

ㅡKung!

Then he kicked the tree right away.

ㅡssss…

Then you hear the sound of falling leaves.

The number of leaves was a number that could not be cut all at once.

ㅡSureureung.

As soon as I caught the falling leaves in my eyes, I immediately pulled out the sword from my waist.

Then, cross your arms and slowly sweep down the sword body with the remaining index and middle fingers of your left hand.

This action was a kind of ‘trigger’ that was used whenever the flow of mana was twisted to write reverse heaven.

With this action, it became easy to instantly twist the flow of mana.

With the help of the status window, I learned it naturally.

Even when Sierra saw this before, he thought, ‘If there is such an action, it will definitely help.’ He said, but he said it would be better to be able to use it without motion.

Since it was she who made the reverse, it seems that she did not go through this process.

It seems that I can reach that level only when the level of Reverse Heaven skill is raised.

I went through the sword body and focused on what I had to fight against.

Chapter 1 was space.

Going against the concept of space, I was able to slash enemies at a distance I shouldn’t have reached.

Chapter 2 is time.

passage of time.

I had to make my body able to move without incident at the moment when everything slowed down against the flow of time that should flow fairly to everyone.

It was around the time when his concentration was about to end as he swiped his sword.

Leaves were slowly falling all around.

For an instant, the flow of mana was twisted.

The leaves in front of me, scattered in the air and falling, were heading downward very slowly at a slower speed.

The speed was so slow that one could mistakenly think that time had stopped, but it did not stop completely.

Even the blades of grass that had been swaying in the cool breeze were rustling very finely.

I had no idea right away how slow it was.

Originally, in this situation, my body should also slow down, but Yeokcheon broke and went against that ‘common sense’ as if it were natural.

My arm trying to cut a leaf was moving at normal speed.

It wasn’t that the world slowed down.

In this short period of time, my cognitive ability, thinking ability, and body became abnormally fast.

The moment I moved my arm, Sierra’s voice resounded.

[Oh… Again, you do it from the first try as if nothing is wrong. This is pretty plausible… but I wonder if our apprentice will be able to hold out until all the leaves are cut off. ]

Sierra was looking around, evaluating my inversion.

I don’t know why she can talk to me.

‘I’m wielding a sword and ‘Sierra’ itself, so that’s why…’

Moreover, she is a dead person and a soul, not a living human.

It wouldn’t be strange to cross the boundaries of time and space.

However, as she said, it didn’t feel like there was much time left.

He swiftly swung his arms to cut down the leaves.

Yodo ‘Sierra’, who was full of anticipation, was able to precisely cut the thin thin leaves in half without twisting an inch.

I can see the leaves colliding with the blade and splitting.

I didn’t cut it slowly just because it was slow.

Remembering Sierra’s provocative expression, he kicked and cut with all his might.

Maybe it was because I thought that I wanted to be recognized by her as soon as I saw that expression.

How many times have you swung your sword like that?

It was about to cut down the one remaining leaf that had remained intact until the end.

ㅡShuuuk!!!

Suddenly, a piercing ping-pong sound is heard in my ears.

Eventually, the sight darkens.

***

“Ugh…”

As soon as I came to my senses, a shattering headache and a groaning sound came out of my body in pain.

For some reason, something huge and red was blocking my view.

I tried to get up, but I couldn’t get up.

While I was struggling to get myself up somehow, Sierra’s soft voice resonated in my head.

[Are you out of your mind? ]

Sierra’s voice was clear and soft, and it made the headache go away, albeit a little.

Then we see Sierra’s face.

Her cheeks were blushing and she was caressing my cheeks as if she were proud.

Looking at the composition, it seems that it was Sierra’s… breasts that were blocking my view.

I think he was giving me a knee pillow.

I gave up trying to get up and decided to lie down on her lap.

“How did you see it, my reverse…”

[ …that’s terrible. ]

“Haa… It’s not easy after all.”

Judging by the playful voice of hers, it didn’t seem like she was really out of luck.

Still, I wasn’t satisfied with myself.

[Poohyo, did you think Chapter 2 would be that easy? There are things that cannot be accomplished with talent alone. Still, not bad for a first try. It just spurted some blood…]

While listening to Sierra’s lightly smiling, comfortable voice, I glanced at the floor where I was standing earlier.

Between the cut leaves… I can see the deep black marks on the floor and a small puddle of blood.

When I sniffed, the smell of blood was still seeping out of my nose.

It’s a process she’s been through, so she must be able to laugh like that.

“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t die?”

[Didn’t she die? I don’t think her calculations were wrong. ]

“…”

He didn’t die as Sierra said, but judging from the blood scattered on the floor, it seems that his vitality has been exhausted.

[By the way, it looks like the bracelet the instructor gave you is a good thing. How fast is the recovery? ]

Saying that, Sierra stops stroking my cheek and sweeps the area around my chest.

He was touching the place where his heart would be located near his left chest.

Judging by the look on her face, there seemed to be no strange intention.

“How long have I been lying down?”

I asked to distract myself from the feel of Sierra’s soft thighs on the back of my head.

[I think it’s been an hour. I reached my limit and collapsed vomiting blood. I knew it would happen, so I wasn’t too surprised. ]

Sierra looks at me and grins.

I guess I could have told you about the fact that I was vomiting blood.

“…typically, how many times does the flow of time slow down?”

At my question, Sierra opens her mouth and begins to explain.

[10 times, that much slower. To be precise, you can see that I moved my body at a speed that is 10 times the speed that my body can fully pull out. ]

“10 times… That’s enough to understand why my body was almost destroyed due to overloading.”

[Yes, not only does it consume more mana than Chapter 1, but it also makes the body much faster… and even touches the head. It is never easy to break the rules of the world. ]

Saying that, Sierra tapped my hair with her fingers.

‘I thought it would be easy to solve until I learned Chapter 1…’

Chapter 2 was much more difficult.

I was sure that I would be able to use 2 chapters when my Reverse Heaven skill level reached level 4, but this was only about being able to use it.

Even if you raise the skill level of Reverse Heaven, it doesn’t seem like you can learn Chapter 3 right away.

As soon as I recovered my physical strength enough to stand up, I immediately stood up.

In response, Sierra’s eyes narrowed and one cheek puffed out.

I brushed the dust off my clothes and opened my mouth without speaking.

“Master… how long did I last?”

It was an important question.

Even though it was 10 times slower, how many seconds the skill could be activated was important.

It was an attempt to know my current limitations.

I couldn’t collapse while vomiting blood like now while fighting the enemy.

[The time available for Chapter 2 varies depending on the caster’s proficiency and body. Proficiency is also proficiency, but our disciple’s body is especially messed up… It didn’t matter since the original girl has lived with a sword her whole life. ]

Sierra lifts her chest and places a hand on her chest.

…Still, I don’t think that chest has grown as much as swordsmanship.

Scratching my head, I asked Sierra again.

“…so how many seconds?”

Sierra’s voice, which became serious again, echoed in my head.

[It was about a minute, so… 5 to 6 seconds, that’s your limit right now. Calculating the line that doesn’t fall… It’s probably about 3 seconds. ]

Chapter 2 slowed down the flow of time by a whopping 10 times… 3 seconds was 30 seconds if I calculated it as the time I felt.

3 seconds.

It was a really fleeting time.

‘When I first heard that you were going against time, I wanted to turn back time at least.’

I think this is powerful in its own way.

A swordsmanship that accelerates the body and mind 10 times.

After all, Yeokcheon was a swordsmanship… It seemed that you couldn’t use Yeokcheon without holding a sword.

Thanks to the status window, I realized this naturally and was able to avoid asking Sierra ridiculously stupid questions.

With this, the preparation for Barsium was over.

‘Necklace containing the warrior’s protection’ and Yeokcheon Chapter 2.

In fact, at the point of having the necklace, there was no need to be extremely afraid of undead vampires.

However, Barsium was an unknown enemy with not much information, so he had to prepare more carefully.

In that sense, Chapter 2 of Yeokcheon felt like an inoculation.

The result of 3 seconds was not very satisfactory, but it is impossible to distribute from the first drink.

Still, there are many ways to improve.

body and proficiency.

There is no problem with proficiency because it is enough to raise the skill level of Reverse Heaven.

The problem was the body.

‘I think it would be nice to have an item that increases physical strength itself so that the body is less burdened… I wonder if there is something like that.’

The physical body will be related to the maximum amount of physical strength that came out in the game.

The second chapter I experienced is a skill that consumes stamina.

Mana was also worn out, but stamina was more important.

If the maximum stamina is high, even if a little stamina is consumed, it will not have a big impact… If the body is strong, the burden will disappear with a little load.

‘Elixir?’

For now, those kind of consumable items come to mind first.

For me, it seemed like it would be okay if it wasn’t for the eyeballs of the lycanthrope…

…Somehow, the ‘Elixir’ of the gruesome visuals passes through my head.

If you want to write Chapter 2 more freely, it would be good to supplement it.

Consistent training is also essential.

It seems that the daily routine will increase.

I was about to go back to the dormitory, thinking that I couldn’t increase the casting time of Chapter 2 by practicing soggyly like this.

Before going back to the dormitory, I had a question.

“…Master, how many seconds was the limit?”

Sierra hears my question and bursts into laughter.

[Puhehehe… Disciple, do you dare to make fun of a master like the sky? ]

Sierra’s eyes narrowed as she covered her mouth and laughed.

Soon after, Sierra’s lips, which looked moist in the moonlight, opened.

[The units are wrong. ]

“Yes? Then…”

[ …3 minutes 18 seconds. After that, I didn’t measure the time because I didn’t think it would be meaningful. ]

At Sierra’s words that followed, I was stunned.

3 minutes.

It was 30 minutes by simple calculation as a feeling time.

‘Purple Moon Sierra.’

Ja-wol, who used to pair well with the swordsman in the past.

The wall with that name was still huge and high.

‘It was a swordsmanship that Sierra created to defeat the swordsman, so defeating the swordsman…’

It seems like it will be a long way.

***

[Now that we have learned Chapter 2 properly, our students should eat the food that the original woman wants to eat…! That’s fried Kraken’s legs! ]

On the way back to the dorm, Sierra grabbed my arm and strangled me.

Where did the endlessly sincere eyes from when he was teaching the reverse stream in the forest earlier go, and I see Sierra, full of pure curiosity like a child.

I wondered why they were still selling fried Kraken legs at this time, and when I checked the store, it looked like a bar.

‘I wonder if the taste is just a big octopus leg…’

Still, Sierra begged me like this, so I was on my way to the bar following Sierra’s guidance, wondering if I could buy fried Kraken legs.

Nearby, the smell of alcohol and greasy fried food was vibrating.

I felt sick to my stomach.

As I approached the store completely and was about to place my order, I heard the sound of urgent footsteps suddenly coming from the main street.

I turn my head and check to see who is running so quickly at dawn…

…it was Yuri Clementine.

Yuri was gasping for breath with a serious face and was running in my direction.

“hahahaha…”

I see a familiar platinum blonde behind such a glass.

Yuri was carrying Eisel on her back.

‘Why is Eisel…?’

Sensing that the situation was not good, I immediately ran to the glass.

Soon after, Yuri, who was running, also finds me.

“…Miss Yuri?”

“Haa… Zeto…? I have to go home, Officer Priscilla! Eisel has collapsed…! There’s a wound on his stomach…”

Yuri, who couldn’t even stop his breathing, hurriedly conveyed the situation.

‘wound?’

Eisel, who could be seen behind the glass, was breathing heavily, unable to open her eyes, her face flushed.

Since he was wearing clothes, the trauma was not confirmed right away, but at a glance, he seemed to be in poor condition.

“…First of all, the situation is urgent, so let’s go!”

I interrupted Yuri and naturally moved Eisel and shouted.

The heat felt from Eisel’s body was so hot that it was unusual.

[I don’t think fries are important right now. ]

Sierra, seeing Aisel’s condition, said so.

Eisel, who had been invisible for several days, appeared wounded and collapsed.

‘There must be no reason for Eisel, a regressor, to attack an enemy who has already had to go through this ordeal…’

…First of all, treatment was a priority.
