Academy’S Weapon Replicator 523
Chapter 142: Coloring (3)
After vacation is over, students are largely divided into two categories.
Either you grew during vacation or you didn’t.
This varies greatly depending on what experiences you have gained during vacation.
From that perspective, Frontier made a mistake.
He doesn’t think so himself, but objectively speaking, a mistake is a mistake.
“Keep in mind that this is a sparring match.”
Aster’s lessons, combat theory.
Aster decided to hold a sparring match to get a rough idea of the students’ skills.
And Aias asked Pielot to spar.
Everyone who watched that thought.
Aias applied for revenge.
Aias was knocked out by one attack from Pielot. Of course, the core will remain. He said he improved his skills during the vacation and took on Pielot again.
In the end, it wasn’t wrong.
“I look forward to.”
“That’s me.”
When he applied to spar with Pielot, Aias had completely forgotten about that past.
Unlike the original sword he held, Aias held a long baton this time. He realized something when he happened to pick up a spear in Palma.
And the moment Pielot saw Aias holding the spear,
“…”
His expression hardened, and his feet were already in position.
After being scolded by Frondier, he decided not to take this pose in Atlas, but immediately changed his mind.
You can’t beat the current Aias by playing against him clumsily.
He thought so.
“Hmm.”
Aias, who was watching quietly, said.
“Pielot, can’t you do that pose?”
“Why?”
“I feel like I’m going to fall in one hit. Then you can’t spar.”
Puhahahahaha! The students listening burst into laughter.
However, when Pielot heard this, a chill came over his whole body.
He wasn’t funny at all.
“… Okay. “I also have to practice fighting without this stance.”
“It’s sparring, so let’s be careful not to get hurt.”
Pielot understood what Aias said.
Currently, Aias is not interested in winning or losing in sparring.
Aster came to the center and said.
“If the sparring gets heated, I will stop arbitrarily, so don’t get angry.”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
The two responded, and Aster stepped back.
“Then, let’s begin!”
There was no one moving at the same time as the signal.
Pielot knew that Aias would attack first and prepared for it, and Aias.
“… Hmm, the side that you hold like this is easier to pull. “Is this what they meant when they said that retrieving a spear is a skill?”
He was checking his posture.
“… Aias?”
“Oh sorry. Pielot. “I’m not used to ‘doing things on my own’ yet.”
What does that mean?
Aias closed his spear again and looked at Pielot.
Next, comes the sting. Pielot knew that.
And,
self!
The tip of the baton grazed Pielot’s cheek,
When Pielot looked at Aias again, the rod returned to its original position.
‘… Perfect.’
Pielot was purely amazed.
The speed is as if the bar was stretched out and pulled back in the same amount of time.
Moreover, even though he knew the stabbing was coming, there was no sign of its departure. So even though he tried to avoid it completely, he was grazed by the cheek.
With just that one stab, I knew which area Aias was in.
But Aias muttered as if he was somewhat disappointed.
“As expected, you dodge it easily.”
“…”
“But. “We are learning one by one.”
Aias nodded his head and his eyes cleared as if he had absorbed something again.
Fault!
This time Pielot moved. I didn’t accept the sparring just to become Ajax’s testing punching bag.
The stabbing blade, Ajax’s staff, tilts downward. The trajectory changes as it passes, as if wrapping around the blade.
Hiss!
Pielot and Aias follow the trajectory and turn the axis to change into a spinning slash. The wooden sword is aimed at Ajax’s neck, and it is too late for Aias to dodge it.
“!”
Instead, Aias flicked the other end of the pole. In an instant, it reached Pielot’s face.
Taang!
The two distanced themselves from each other. There is no damage to either side.
Pielot thought.
‘The attack just happened, it wasn’t just a simple check. The purpose was not to cause damage to me, but to counter the attack that came towards him.’
Unless you are prepared to face the danger of death, there is no way you would make a move that would almost certainly result in death.
Now, Aias is able to put even attacks within the range of defense.
‘When I first met him, I thought he was the type that focused on attacking, but it was actually the opposite.’
Unlike before, the current Ajax is not a sword and is not aggressive.
Aias went on the defensive, and Pielot realized.
This is the original Ajax. Aias was showing that level of skill with clothes that did not fit. It’s as if he was left-handed and lived his life as right-handed without knowing it.
So,
“… “I lost.”
Pielot said.
“Eh?”
“I don’t see any way to break through.”
Ignoring the puzzled Aias, Pielot spoke to Aster.
Aster watched quietly and nodded his head.
“Then the sparring is over.”
“Eh. Teacher, I still…”
“The opponent admitted defeat. According to the rules, sparring is over.”
At Aster’s words, Pielot quickly nodded and then turned around and returned to the line of students.
He was almost running away at that speed.
Aias scratched his head in disbelief and put down the baton.
* * *
“Teacher, Aias is too strong.”
“…”
Fron Deer wondered what was going on when her student came to her teacher’s office with a serious look on her face, but it turned out to be nothing special.
“Are you saying things to your classmate that you would say to some kind of monster?”
“I’m serious, senior, no, teacher.”
Pielot’s expression was serious, as if he was clearly not saying this for nothing.
But Frontier did not believe it. With this face, he said things like ‘I feel like I’m going to throw up.’ It’s not a trustworthy face.
“What’s the problem with Aias being strong?”
“… I’m not saying it’s a problem, but…”
Pielot averted his gaze.
He spoke in a hushed voice.
“When you grow so rapidly, you feel aggrieved.”
“Hmm.”
Only then did Frontier feel a little more serious.
‘Hero Aias.’
Ajax’s motif is definitely the hero Ajax. He uses a spear and shield and is a defensive genius.
Since Aias originally used a sword and was more aggressive than defensive, I wondered if he was someone else, but it seems he was the one hit by the spear.
‘Well, even if it’s a weapon that fits your hand, it’s ridiculous to think that you can use it well as soon as you hold it.’
Perhaps the injustice that Pielot feels comes from there.
Ajax originally used a sword. I’ve barely ever held a spear.
However, his skill level increased ridiculously after fighting once in Palma. No matter how enlightened he may be.
If a person maintains that growth rate, he will easily be a Paladin, a Zodiac, and beyond in less than a year.

He grows up at a tremendous rate for his competitors of the same age. It’s quite natural to feel jealous of him.
But that’s the same for other students.
‘It’s not yours to say, Pielot.’
Fron Deer tried to understand Pielot, but eventually became dumbfounded and shut his mouth.
Pielot seems to have completely forgotten what he did in Palma.
Frondier said.
“Is it because you think you’ll lose to Aias?”
“I think that might be the case.”
“Be honest.”
“… “I think I’m still ahead, but at Ajax’s growth rate, there’s no doubt about it.”
“Tell me more honestly.”
“I have no intention of losing.”
Look, man.
Frondier sighed.
“Stop thinking about unnecessary things and just do what you’re doing. That’s because Aias started very late. “Now he just got off to the right start.”
“That’s the starting point’s skill level. It’s an incredible talent.”
“That’s not something a kid who used Auror at the starting point would say.”
Pielot avoided eye contact. It was hard to tell whether he was complimenting or scolding.
Unlike Pielot, Frontier had a general understanding of Ajax’s rapid growth.
This is because he wields multiple weapons at once.
‘Proficiency applied to all weapons. Understanding the weapon itself. Monty was like that and so was Levette. While Aias was learning the sword, his understanding of the weapon itself must have increased.’
And since he was carrying an unsuitable weapon, suspicion would have arisen in his mind.
To Aias, the ‘sword’ was like a kind of safe path. A weapon chosen as if guided by fate. However, there is no change in the fact that it is an unsuitable weapon. There must have been doubts about him, and those doubts have now turned into skills.
‘Now, Aias is dealing with a talent that he realizes for the first time. Of course, your skills will grow.’
Pielot may have forgotten it now, but he must have done the same.
When he realized his Auror much earlier than others, before he perfected his current Baldo technique, when he found out that a ‘double attack’ was possible.
Pielot keeping Aias in check is like a frog being surprised by a tadpole.
‘… I forgot, la.’
Frondier said, something came to mind at that keyword.
“Now that I think about it, Pielot.”
“Yes.”
“The dream I saw that day at the hospital. “You still don’t remember?”
After Pielot was struck by the mana of the demon world, he had a strange dream.
I was planning to tell it to Fron Deer, but he forgot the details of the dream. He must have been under a strange spell from Athena.
He hoped that the magic might be broken.
“… Umm, yes. I don’t remember. I’m sure I had a dream…”
Pielot said with a thoughtful face. I too had a frustrated face.
“Hmm, I see. “If you remember later,”
When Frontier spoke that far.
Faaah!
Something shined in Frondier’s arms.
‘No way, again?’
Frontier had no choice but to know what it was.
When I took the golden apple out of his arms, he was glowing as expected.
“Huh?”
Then, something like black smoke came out of Pielot’s body and was sucked into the ring of golden apples.
‘Again, as I please… !’
Frondier now looked at the ring with some sort of irritation. Frontier doesn’t do anything, but it runs as it pleases. It was a very unpleasant thing for him.
“… Oh!”
And when all the black smoke was sucked in, Pielot shouted as if the timing was right.
“Teacher! I remembered! “The dream of that time!!”
“I understand, so lower your voice. “Because this is the teacher’s office.”
Even so, the light and black smoke from just before caught my attention.
Frondier looked around and smiled awkwardly. It was a desperate appeal that there was no problem.
Then I looked at Pielot again.
“… So, you remembered?”
The reason why Pielot remembered the contents of the dream is obvious.
The golden apple had swallowed the magic applied by Athena.
‘It’s not just about swallowing the bottle. What is the standard? What are the rings of this circle?’
Frondier naturally frowns. Pielot said to him:
“Sir, you’re really scary sometimes. “The expression.”
“Call me teacher.”
“Anyway, in the dream I saw, Satan appeared,”
When Pielot spoke that far.
Frondier did nothing, but Pielot stopped talking.
No, it was only Frondier himself who thought he was doing nothing.
Boom─
There was silence in the teacher’s office. Everyone inside saw Frondier. They were all looking at Frondier, either nervous or frightened, with all their actions frozen like Pielot.
Pielot blinked a few times and said.
“… “Can I keep talking?”
Fron Deer tilted his head.
“Huh? “What kind of question is this?”
