Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 161 Chapter
53 New Item (2)
Frondier headed to Constel with Quinier.
Winter vacation had already begun, so there were hardly any students in sight. There are probably many teachers who do not come to work.
The two were looking for teacher Binkis. Even if Binkis doesn’t go to work today, she will probably be at Constel. Her personality is that of a researcher, and Constell is the perfect location for her research and production facilities.
When they visited Vinkis’ lab, the person who greeted them was a different person.
“uh? “Senior Frontier Quinier.”
Breathing somewhat excitedly, as if he had been working just a moment ago, dark hands and face, and beads of sweat.
Edwin von Behertio was in Vinkys’ laboratory.
“Senior Edwin.”
“What are you two doing here?”
“Senior, what is going on in Teacher Binkis’ lab…?”
When Frontier tilted his head and asked, Edwin smiled and answered.
“Oh, I’ve been hired as a full-time assistant.”
“Aide? Mr. Binkis’?”
“huh. “This area overlaps a lot with my interests, and Mr. Binkiss also said he needed my help.”
Moreover, there is a blessing received. Edwin said, scratching his cheek sheepishly.
‘…Isn’t there Hephaestus?’
Frontier looked at Edwin for a moment. Edwin could no longer sense the presence of Hephaestus. In other words, Edwin probably can’t use his divine powers anymore.
“sorry. Because of me, you gained divine power….”
“Oh, so that’s true? I wasn’t mistaken. “It was you who took Hephaestus away.”
this. Frondier was taken aback for a moment. Edwin did not know that Frondeer had forced Hephaestus to retreat. It was an uncharacteristic mistake.
“But it’s okay. “I would rather be thankful.”
“Thank you?”
“I feel like I have a head.”
Edwin’s face was refreshingly clear as he said that.
“Before I met you, I was a typical despondent person. My family has fallen, I am the only one my family can rely on, and I do not have enough capital to use my abilities. I was frustrated and impatient because of the tight situation where the order wasn’t right. As a result, it causes damage to you and Elin.”
“…That was the result of Hephaestus’ intervention
.” “No.”
Edwin shook his head.
“I did that.”
“….”
“Well, Hephaestus may have really encouraged me. It could have ignited my inferiority complex and impatience and led me to do something. But that’s what I did. “Even if Hephaestus whispered something to my heart, I am the one who decided.”
Edwin said and looked at his hands.
“As proof, my hands still feel numb when I think about what happened that day. I can’t sleep because of guilt. It’s all God’s fault. He manipulated me. I wanted to run away thinking that, but I couldn’t. Actually, I know. It is not a responsibility that can be passed on to others. “My heart and trembling hands tell me.”
Edwin seemed to be blaming himself, but his tone was truly cold.
Quinier, who had been listening quietly, spoke.
“…the devil’s whisper.”
“yes?”
“Those who overcome are heroes, those who are possessed are humans, and those who leave their sins to the devil are also devils.”
Quinier spoke as if reciting a proverb and shrugged his shoulders.
“Well, I guess it’s a little different because Edwin followed the will of God, not the devil.”
Looking at Quinie saying that, Frondier thought for a moment.
Probably not that different.
The proverb Quinier recited had something special to convey to Frondier, who had a vague sense of what the gods of this world were like.
Quinier continued speaking.
“Edwin didn’t run away. Even though I couldn’t overcome God’s intervention, at least I didn’t turn my eyes away from that sin. “Well, it’s not for me to argue since I’m not a party to the incident.”
“that’s right. I think so too. As a party to the case.”
Edwin smiled after hearing Quinier and Frondier’s words. It was a smile filled with gratitude and a little regret.
“thank you. So what’s going on? “Do you have anything to do with Mr. Binkis?”
“Ah, actually, because of this-”
Frondier briefly said that a new artifact was needed. Edwin was also someone who had personally witnessed Frondier using the Black Heaven, so there was no need to hide it.
Edwin said after thinking for a moment.
“indeed. I think a teacher would be able to do that. “I don’t know if you will do it.”
Edwin smiles bitterly while saying that. Since Vinkis’s personality is unpredictable, it is unclear whether she will willingly create an artifact.
“And I will also give you a security spell, so I would like you to do that for me.”
“huh? I?”
When Edwin asked, seemingly unexpectedly, Frondier and Quinier nodded.
They didn’t just suggest Edwin because they happened to see him, but they had been thinking about Edwin from the beginning. Edwin is a genius in this regard. Even if it was by chance or God’s work, Edwin was able to break through Teacher Binkis’ security spell.
I came to see Vinkis and didn’t expect Edwin to be there, but it was a good thing that I got to meet them together.
Edwin said in confusion.
“First of all, listen to what the teacher says first.”
“I agree.”
Edwin was interrupted and someone placed a hand on his head. It was Vinkiss.
The timing was so amazing that I wondered if I had been secretly listening to it.
“I will help you. “That artifact looks interesting.”
Vinkiss’ response was surprisingly positive.
But the playfulness in those eyes did not go anywhere.
“There is a condition instead.”
“Conditions?”
“Yes, follow me.”
After saying that, there was no time to ask for further explanation from Vinkis, who was leading the way.
As they watched Vinkiss walking briskly, Frontier and Quinier turned their gaze to Edwin. Edwin smiled and nodded lightly. It meant ‘don’t worry, just go’. It seemed like he knew what conditions Vinkis was talking about.
The three followed behind Binkis, who went straight into the lab and took the stairs to the lower floor.
Frondier walked after him, and when he saw where Vinkis had stopped, he had a rough idea of what the condition was.
“Here’s this.”
Vinkiss spread his hands wide and pointed at the large figure in front of him as if introducing him.
“Aji Mk. “It’s 3!”
It was now difficult to say that the large metal body that Vinkis had introduced was a golem. It was decorated with elegant curves and sophisticated patterns, and the joints and driving mechanism were so similar and elaborate that they could almost be called human imitations.
However, it was still the same with the spear hanging behind it.
He Frontier laughed at the incredibly upgraded quality.
“How long will my brother be used as a model?”
“Ah, this is the end. From the next model onwards, we will use the original naming!”
Vinkis puffed out his chest and spoke. It was truly a majestic appearance. It’s illegal to borrow someone else’s name carelessly. Ah, is it safe in this world?
“It’s become quite sophisticated.”
“right? “This golem has become completely autonomous.”
“Wasn’t it like that originally?”
Frondier tilted his head. When I first fought the golem controlled by Edwin and during the midterm exam, the golem seemed to move quite autonomously.
Binkiss waved his finger and shook his head as well. It was a strangely infuriating gesture.
“No, no! The first golem created responded to its owner’s will and commands. “Nothing moves other than that.”
Those words reminded Frondier of the golem at the time. In fact, even Frontier felt that the golem at the time was running through a simple program. Thanks to that, I was able to win.
After that, it started to move on its own, but that was only possible because Hephaestus completely controlled it.
“The golem I tested during the midterm exam was something I personally fabricated. “We had automated it to some extent so that multiple golems could move at the same time, but even that was at a clumsy level.”
“Multiple golems at the same time…”
Frondier thought for a moment.
Several objects were moved at the same time. I definitely felt that way during the midterm exam. Many of the golems felt threatening, but their movements became simpler. It would probably have been quite difficult if Frontier didn’t have a stupid weapon like ‘Gram’ that could destroy the golem in one go.
Multiple golems…simplifying attacks at the same time.
…multiple units.
“Just in case, sir.”
“huh?”
“The method of controlling multiple golems is a mechanism that traps the golems visible on the screen in a square or something, and then automatically attacks the selected enemy by clicking a different button?”
To facilitate understanding, Frondier raised his right hand and drew a diagonal line with his fingers. This is a way to express the mouse drag in my own way.
…Easy to understand, Binkis’ eyes caused an earthquake.
“How did you do that? hacking? “Have I been hacked?”
“How could I hack your research data? It must be incredibly secure.”
“He got pierced?”
Vinkis pointed his finger at Edwin. Edwin had nothing to say and avoided eye contact.
“…I am not senior Edwin. “I just thought it would be more efficient to do so.”
“You caught that right away? Are you a genius? “Are you a genius who goes beyond me?”
no. You just need to see it first to know.
Frontier felt a little guilty and changed the subject a little.
“So this golem doesn’t have either of those methods?”
“Well, that’s right. Literally completely autonomous! “He makes his own decisions to protect his master, destroy enemies, and help with various chores the master wants.”
“…That means you don’t have to give orders?”
“That’s right! Of course, if you give an order, you will naturally follow it first. They may refuse or circumvent orders if they endanger their owners. “That part was done thoroughly.”
Frondier looked at the golem after hearing Vinkis’ explanation that bordered on boasting.
Without realizing it, my thoughts came out as sound.
“…This is enough to be my ‘weapon’” “
Huh? what?”
“Oh no. That’s a great golem. “Then what should I do?”
In response to Frondier’s question, Binkis grinned and walked briskly next to the golem. When I pressed the power button connected to the golem, the connection was released and the golem’s eyes glowed.
Frondier felt a bit of goosebumps at the sound of those steps. It certainly made a heavy sound, but its tone was very human-like.
“You can use Frontier’s ‘fall’, right?”
“…yes.”
How did know. Quinier and Edwin seemed rather surprised by Frondier’s answer.
“The fall… really? Frontier?”
“yes. “I can’t use it as freely as my brother, so I have to be prepared.”
“If you are ready. “Over the past few years, there have been countless spearmen who have tried to copy the techniques developed by Atjie.”
Frondier smiled sheepishly at Queenie’s admiration.
To be honest, ‘falling out’ largely depends on whether or not one has innate talent. First of all, your muscles and joints must be flexible and strong.
And you need to understand the tricks of the Auror to some extent. Although Frondier’s skill level was much lower, its body itself had a similar structure to Azier. Because we are brothers.
The reason why Frontiere was successful, even if only by chance, was because the first time he tried it was a life-threatening fight called ‘Duel with Renzo’, but because Frontiere had the skill ‘Weaving’, he had a certain sense of using energy.
Unless these various conditions are met, it will be impossible to learn it quickly.
“good. Then, use that badge on this golem.”
“yes?”
In response to Frontier’s question, Vinkis smiled triumphantly.
“I designed it so that this golem’s fall doesn’t work.”
“…Hoo.”
Frondier was also intrigued by Vinkis’ words.
If the golem’s design itself can prevent falling, enemies may also be able to block falling. It is most important to be aware of such possibilities in advance.
“Now, the golem will be in position, so use the sword properly. “That is the condition.”
“It is indeed a test.”
Binkis stepped back and the golem took out its spear and took a stance. It was in a scary position, as if a spear would stab at any moment, but it remained still.
Frondier took out his short sword and lightly touched the tip of the spear blade.
‘If you really prevent a fall, you have to think about countermeasures.’
Immediately after thinking that, Frondier unfolded his sword,
and
the golem’s spear flew through the air without making a sound.
“…huh?”
Frondier tilted his head at the vainly successful fall.
Could it be that there is something next? I thought so, but the golem stayed still until the spear fell to the ground.
error? bug? Frondier looked at Vinkis with doubts. She would give an explanation.
And Vinkis’ additional explanation was as follows.
“…huh?”
