Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 156 Chapter
52 Battle
After a short wait.
The smartwatch introduced me to a new reward.
[Check compensation.]
[The weaving function ‘modification’ has been expanded.]
[Option ‘enhancement’ has been added.]
[Enhancement: Gives an ability to an object. The ability can grant one of the abilities of the weapons registered in the workshop.]
[Attention Enhancement is only possible at levels below legendary.] [
Also, the weaving function ‘Workshop’ has been expanded.]
[Workshop is now a duplicate of You are eligible.]
“….”
I was momentarily stunned by the successive notifications. Without realizing it, I put my hand on my head.
Strengthen first.
Originally, weaving had a function called ‘remodeling’.
When it was first added, modifications could only be ‘degraded’ to remove options, so they were used only to remove bad options attached to the weapon itself.
This deterioration was used to remove the ‘female only’ option initially granted to Chryselakatos.
The modification finally gave rise to a new function. ‘Strengthening’ can be said to be the opposite function of deterioration. Add one option.
“You’ll understand when you try this.”
I replicated the most basic dagger with weaving. And, using ‘Enhancement’, Mjolnir’s ability, ‘Grant Thunder God’, was added to the dagger.
Puzzle!
Soon the dagger trembled, making a strange sound. A strange spark surrounds the surroundings. It’s a success.
“…good night. “It’s good, though.”
Fatigue from this alone is no joke. Trying to incorporate a divine function into a regular weapon consumed a significant amount of mana. Efficiency is too bad.
If you’re dealing with a really strong enemy, you won’t have to do this; instead, you’ll eat the dragon heart and make Mjolnir. I don’t think it’s a feature intended to add functionality to weak weapons.
…the method that comes to mind now.
‘…Neil Jacques’ short sword.’
Among the legendary weapons, this is the most powerful weapon I have. Plus, it’s almost the only weapon I actually have.
I have no choice but to try various things with this weapon.
“…and the workshop?”
I tilted my head at the following.
I don’t really understand what’s going on right now.
The workshop is like a warehouse where I register the objects I want to replicate. In the workshop, there are not only weapons and shields, but also ropes and restraints that were registered earlier, and even the theories and notes from the textbooks learned at Constell are all stored there.
It’s like an image that only I can see, so it actually looks almost similar to a warehouse.
‘I just can’t guess the size.’
The workshop grew in size every time I saved an object.
Of course, when small things are added, the size does not change, but when a certain amount of objects are filled, the area is expanded.
Weapons, shields, and other small items are categorized by type, and I think this probably reflects what I have organized in my head.
In particular, when I went to the imperial family’s armory and registered all the weapons, I could see that the workshop had grown noticeably.
‘The workshop becomes the object of weaving?’
In other words, is it possible to replicate the workshop in reality?
“I’m going to have to try this right away.”
I got up and left the room. The destination was the vacant lot where I always train with Ajie.
Maids passing by greeted me politely. Recently, the way the residents at the mansion treated me seemed to have changed a bit.
Of course, the Roach family’s employees are all thorough professionals, so they never ignored me or treated me lightly before.
They always did their duty, but these days, when they look at me, I feel something similar to how they treated Ajie.
“Where are you going, Frontier?”
Recently, the number of maids who talk to each other has increased.
“Ah, I’m going to the vacant lot behind the mansion.”
“Mr. Ajie has not yet returned from his outing.”
“are you okay. “I have something to do on my own.”
“okay. Do not work too hard.”
The maid politely bowed her head and naturally stepped back.
I feel strangely warm and polite, and it feels awkward.
Even at Constel, the image of me still persists, so I don’t know why employees are doing this in the first place. Did you hear anything?
‘Anyway, that’s a problem for later.’
First of all, it is a workshop.
* * *
I went to the vacant lot and checked the workshop.
When I checked the image again, it was quite large. It feels bigger rather than bigger. I put so much into it.
‘The size of the workshop is larger than the vacant lot.’
If you think about it, it is so scary that it is already encroaching on not only the vacant lot but also the mansion and trees next to it.
But it doesn’t matter right now.
Because it is simply weaving without menosorpho.
Weaving
Grade – Unique
Workshop
As I stretched out my hand to weave, the threads of mana spread wide, revealing its outline.
It has been a long time since weaving was done purely without menosorpho or black cloth. Since I don’t use either, this workshop doesn’t interfere with reality and is visible only to my eyes. It’s beyond Roach Mansion, but no damage has been done to the Mansion.
…by the way.
‘It’s enormous.’
When replicating a weapon through weaving, it doesn’t feel real because you only look at the necessary parts of the workshop, but seeing the whole thing right in front of you is amazing. The workshop has three floors.
We still don’t know what this workshop means or whether it is truly worthy of being called ‘transcendence’.
The entrance to the workshop opens before your eyes as if welcoming you. First, you have to go there.
“…Selena has arrived.”
But a strange interferor appeared.
“….”
I looked back.
Selena was kneeling on one knee and bowing her head.
…Why did he suddenly appear?
“He was here in the clearing, out of reach of the eyes of the Roach family, without even Azi, so he knew what it meant and exposed himself.”
I didn’t ask, but Selena told me well.
Right. Is that how it appears through Selena’s eyes? I came here to call Selena. Because she won’t be able to see that workshop through her eyes.
“is it.”
Even though I said that, I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t really have any business with Selena. Should I be angry that he showed up on his own without me calling him?
“…I will accept any punishment.”
But Selena suddenly said something like that.
“What punishment do you want to receive?”
“I ran away, leaving Frondier behind. I broke my promise to protect it with my life. “I failed to fulfill my duty as an escort”
“Selena.”
I cut her off.
“You followed my orders. “I have nothing to ask you.”
“…But I”
“And one more thing.”
I quietly looked at Selena.
Selena was trembling slightly. Is it resentment for not being able to protect me, or is it fear of impending punishment, or is even that trembling acting like an act?
─Whenever a moment like this comes, Selena bows her head in front of me.
That’s why I think.
I thought that all of Selena’s actions were an act, that she would laugh at me and belittle me behind my back, and that she would eventually betray me and commit suicide.
After spending a long time together, I think I have built up some level of trust, but I have a suspicion that Selena is not like that at all. Even if that is a very slim probability. Because I don’t have the confidence to see through Selena’s acting.
After our first meeting, when he threatened me with a needle, and now.
Selena always bows her head deeply whenever she feels she has done something wrong. He doesn’t show me any facial expressions.
so that.
“Don’t kneel before me from now on.”
“…!”
“Don’t lower your head. “Whether you do something wrong or make a mistake, look me in the eye and tell me.”
I said that to see the look on Selena’s face.
Just to be sure Selena wasn’t acting.
“…Huh, but as an escort, I can’t do that…”
“Raise your head.”
“….”
Selena hesitated at my words and then hesitantly raised her head. It was truly as fast as the sun was setting.
Is the slow pace to hide his expression of contempt for me or to suppress laughter?
The shadow hiding her bowed face slowly disappeared, and her hair settled on her face.
The sunlight hit her forehead first. Below the slightly gathered eyebrows, sparkling eyes, slightly red face, and pursed lips caught the sunlight and scattered vivid colors.
“…I ran away, leaving Frondier behind.”
Selena’s big eyes trembled. There was resentment in every tone of his voice.
“Now stand up.”
“But Mr. Frontier.”
“I told you to stand up.”
Selena reluctantly stands up again this time. But this time, he was still looking at me, as if he remembered the command from earlier.
…If this face was the one that had been ridiculing and despising me just a moment ago, I probably wouldn’t be able to see through Selena’s acting for the rest of my life.
I smiled.
“It’s a nice face.”
“yes?”
“Stay like that from now on.”
There was no way I would have recognized Selena’s acting even if I had seen her face.
But it would be better than lowering your head and not being able to see your expression.
I turned around again.
It was a bit late because of Selena, but I had some business to attend to at the workshop.
When I went inside, it looked just like the workshop I knew. It’s exactly what I thought in my head.
‘How can this help me?’
The workshop is already doing its job well. A workshop is essential to store items for duplication. However, even if we bring that workshop to reality, what difference will it make?
‘If this is a reward worthy of the name ‘transcendence’, there must be a real difference from what you imagine.’
Imaginary and real.
However, if the appearance is the same.
What changes is a person’s perspective.
“…Selena. “I have something to ask.”
A thought occurred to me and I spoke to Selena.
“What is?”
“You reach me through transference when I am in an emergency or when I call.”
“Yes that’s right.”
“Does that mean you are watching my every move? “Is that why you realized I was in a dangerous situation and came to me?”
I’m asking this, but it’s probably not true.
There’s no need for Selena to be by my side if she can always see what I’m doing. All you have to do is watch from afar.
It wasn’t Selena in the first place, but Hagley, who had approached me before.
However, Selena deliberately showed herself to me and is still giving me limited information about Mangot.
In other words, Selena can’t always check on me, and the same goes for Mangot.
So how can Selena recognize my situation and come to transference?
“no. “I’m looking at Frontier’s back.”
“The back?”
“You must have seen our bay cape metastasizing. Unlike ‘Portal’, our transfer is based on people. To the average person, it would appear to be emerging from the ‘shadows.’”
Yes. At first, it was difficult to see at a glance, but I was able to see it clearly the last time a large number of people from Mangot appeared. They emerged from beneath the shadows.
Selena continued speaking.
“But even if the sun is high and the shadows are very short, I can transfer. The shadow is just an attribute and we appear from the ‘back side’. “It’s just a shadow located there.”
“What is the back side?”
“It is like the invisible source of life. The image is closer to a flame. If the flame shakes or trembles, it means that the situation of the transfer target is dangerous. And when a real crisis comes, the target’s survival instinct is conveyed to me beyond the shape of the flame. At that time, an image is drawn to me of what kind of situation I am in and what type of attack I am being attacked by. That’s why I can transfer to dangerous situations and protect Frontier.”
After hearing Selena’s words, I was lost in thought for a moment.
It’s the back side.
Selena is not watching my situation. I only receive rough images and emotions. That alone is enough to fulfill the role of my escort.
…if the workshop is similar to this.
If what I am seeing is only a part of it and I am ‘weaving’ with only that part.
‘Maybe this workshop I thought I knew everything about.’
There is a ‘downstairs’ somewhere.
That is the back side of the workshop.
