Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 165 Chapter
54 Remnants of Talent (2)
Frondier promised that he would not shy away from any errand or difficult task. I really plan on behaving like a dog.
I didn’t think I would be able to learn from or spar with the knights anyway. He planned to follow their training and steal various weapon techniques with his own eyes, using the skill ‘Analysis’ if necessary to make them his own.
But.
“Whoa, whoa…! “Huh!”
Now Frontier was really rolling around like a dog.
In the center of the knights’ training ground.
“Center of gravity. Don’t lean forward. “Your movements can be read by the enemy.”
The knight in front of Frondier spoke sternly. Frondier woke up shakily and barely regained his bearings.
Frontier was currently sparring. And that too in the center, surrounded by Roach knights.
The knights were watching Frontier’s sparring with expressionless expressions. There was neither admiration nor contempt for Frontier. The expressionless expression was literally expressionless.
‘How did it end up like this?’
Frontier immediately recalled the situation from before.
At first, it was something like a skills test. Ampere introduced him to the knight commander, so that he could at least formally check his level of skill before entrusting him with a chore. I think that was definitely the intention at first.
However, after Frontier competed with a randomly selected knight for a few sums.
Suddenly, Knight Commander Silvain spoke.
-Can I teach the matriarch’s second son for a moment?
Then, Frontier was being beaten one after another by people using various weapons.
“Do not raise your sword carelessly. Because at that moment the means of attack are limited. Attack, defense and evasion. These three things must always be completed quickly, starting and ending together. “Other than that, keep the same posture.”
“When fighting a spear with a sword, don’t strike it carelessly. The speed with which you retrieve the spear is necessarily faster than the speed with which you dig in. Try to stick to the window instead. “Because it’s safer.”
One by one, the knights beat up Frontier and gave him some kind advice.
The other knights watching whispered.
“How long has it been since this?”
“Two hours and five people.”
“You lasted a long time.”
All weapons are wooden, sparring without using aura.
However, Frondier’s body was already full of minor wounds.
It might have seemed pathetic to those who didn’t know it, but to the knights, it was rather bizarre.
“not bad.”
“I know. “It’s a waste to do chores.”
“It’s great that you can’t stop thinking. These days, there are a lot of guys who only believe in their own talent and just use it.”
One of the knights we were talking with said as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“So, if you’re the matriarch’s second child, don’t you know that you’re Ajie’s younger brother?”
“Then did you learn from Atjie? Then I can understand that kind of movement.”
“Well, who does he have the personality to teach?”
“I heard you also worked as a temporary teacher at Constel.”
Frontier was busy dealing with the dizzying attack, but the knights watching were truly peaceful.
‘But it’s still better than Ajie.’
The reason why Frontier is still able to survive despite being beaten so hard.
That’s because the sparring I had with Ajie so far was more severe.
Here, the person you are dealing with and the weapon are constantly changing, so there are some things that are confusing, but Ajie was enough to confuse people even without changing the weapon.
After sparring with so many strong people, I can feel Ajie’s power. Atjie asks the most difficult questions for the other person to deal with.
Although Frontier may not be able to give a very accurate answer to that question, it has learned to not give a completely wrong answer. That training paid off here.
‘It’s a time like gold. I have to absorb it all.’
And if possible, ask questions rather than answering them correctly.
Frondier recalled what Ajie had done and stretched out his wooden sword. This time, Frontier found time to find a gap in the time when he was trying hard to respond and presented to the knights the problem of Ajie, which had been causing trouble for him.
‘Hoo.’
The knights responded to the problems without difficulty, but both the sparring opponents and those watching changed their expressions. This was a problem that would have worked for Frontier as long as his strength, speed, and technical proficiency were sufficiently high.
Even as he continued to breathe heavily, Frondier’s eyes were still clear. Even though my body was shaking, my posture was still the same. That appearance caught the eyes of the knights.
However.
“That’s it for today.”
The sparring ended with leader Silvain’s declaration. The knight who was sparring withdrew and Frondier lowered his sword.
At that moment, extreme dizziness and chills came over my body.
“It’s over-faced.”
“…yes.”
I knew it after hearing it. Until a moment ago, I felt like I could do more, but when I heard that it was over, my body desperately wanted to rest.
“You’re good at hiding your expressions. But it’s difficult if you’re fooling yourself.”
In fact, Sylvain was the only one who noticed that Frontier was over-faced. Even that was a little late. This was a similar phenomenon to what happened during Constel’s school trip.
“Yes, I will be careful.”
“Stop resting today and come out here at the same time tomorrow.”
Frondier’s expression became subtle at Sylvain’s words.
“…Will I be trained again next time?”
“Why don’t you like it? Are you better off doing chores?”
“no. Not really, but I thought it would be a chore. “I don’t even participate in the wall battle.”
“don’t worry. “I’m not doing it just for you.”
After saying that, Sylvaine looked around at the knights.
“Our kids need stimulation too.”
* * *
Stimulation is needed.
I didn’t understand what Sylvaine meant, but if it’s mutual aid, it’s good for me.
The Roach Knights were indeed of a high standard. The level seemed to be much higher than that of the knights I met at Tavern.
The Knights of Tabern were drawn from each knighthood to block the barrier, so even though their cohesion was low, their individual level was excellent, but it felt like the Knights of Roach surpassed even the individual knights.
‘If I can train here, I will be able to overcome my weakness in close combat to some extent.’
Although it is a short time of one month, it is a time that I am extremely grateful for as I was satisfied with just doing chores.
Of course, this is not the real purpose.
‘Now then, from now on, we have to make a plan to cross the barrier without Ampere’s knowledge.’
While I was returning from my bath, I caught my eye on the barrier seen from afar.
The wall, which can be seen from quite a distance away, is quite high. Unlike Tavern, it appears to have been expanded.
Since it was completely protected from monsters, there would have been room to strengthen the barrier itself.
And on the contrary, its sturdiness became a difficult obstacle for me to surreptitiously overcome.
‘If the situation arises, you can use Menosorpho to fly, but you will definitely be caught.’
The most ideal thing is for Ampere to not know about it even after I return. When you actually face the barrier, it doesn’t seem easy.
Jump and jump.
I decided to go back to my room first. Ampere provided me with lodgings. I thought that Ampere might throw me in a stable and tell me to sleep there, but fortunately it wasn’t like that.
My body is quite exhausted due to the unexpected continuous training. Let’s go in and rest quickly. Because the night is already over.
“….”
So I walked to my dorm for a while and then stopped.
‘Is the accommodation this far?’
At least it’s not a distance worth walking long enough to say ‘a while’.
‘…Where am I?’
When I came to my senses, I was already in the forest.
The knights’ barracks and my lodgings are right around the corner. After taking a bath, I leave the barracks and see the accommodation right away.
In order to go to the accommodation, of course I would have to walk while looking at the accommodation.
I just thought about going to my dorm and started walking at will.
“this.”
I took out the short sword from my chest.
I don’t know what trap I fell into. Is it a magic from the mental world or a curse?
But there is a simpler truth.
“The enemy.”
There is no way he would have done something like this with such noble character.
As I raised my weapon and looked out for the enemy for a moment, I heard a mixture of strange cries and footsteps.
Crumbling –
a stocky guy walked out from between the trees, spewing murderous blood. Starting with the leader, similar things appeared in the forest in all directions, stepping on their own shadows.
The faces reflected in the moonlight were very familiar, even though I had seen them for the first time since coming to this world.
‘Goblin.’
Now that I think about it, I’ve met all kinds of people since I came here, but this was my first goblin.
Normally, if you were in Constell during the main quest ‘Raid’, you would have faced many of these faces, but I headed to the tower where Elysia was at that time.
‘The goblins use magic to lure them into an unoccupied forest and form a siege to attack them.’
This is ridiculous.
Among goblins, sometimes a highly intelligent goblin becomes a leader and leads the group, but he is not at the level to use mental magic on humans.
“Who did you take orders from?”
I asked anyone around me. Even looking at their clothes and weapons, I couldn’t tell who was the leader. They were all very similar.
“…and.”
My eyes narrowed. As I laid eyes on their armor and weapons reflected in the moonlight, my heart sank coldly.
“Where did you get that?”
A black cloth covered them.
Black Heaven did not become a complete weapon or armor. The goblin’s flimsy equipment and body were covered here and there as if they were covered in clothes. The black cloth was clinging to the goblins’ bodies like a leech. From here, it looks like the pitch-black water is contaminated with goblins.
…No, it’s not just a metaphor. The
goblins
slowly approached me, making strange sounds, whether they were screaming or laughing. It was dark at night, so I couldn’t see their eyes clearly, but somehow it seemed like it wasn’t of their own will.
fault!
The closest one
ran at me with a club, so
I cut off his head first.
‘You must avoid places with black water.’
I know well the hardness and durability of black cloth. Even when imitating a god’s weapon or applying a tremendous impact to the weapon, the black sky itself never shattered. It’s also a material that doesn’t have much meaning in breaking down in the first place.
‘If you leave the black water alone, it’s just a liquid. ‘If it remains on the body or equipment like that, it means that there is someone’s interference with magical power.’
I don’t know who is using it, but it looks like they have discovered how to use the Black Heaven in their own way.
Kang! Cough! Kwasik!
I swung my sword at them one by one, dodging and blocking sword strikes coming from all directions. Of course, not everything could be avoided or blocked.
The goblins’ weapons themselves are often crude, so there are some that can withstand a hit. Of course, you have to be careful about anything that has black cloth on it.
‘First of all, I shouldn’t use weaving.’
He called me to a place where there were no people and made the goblins attack. It’s clearly targeting me out of all those people.
I don’t know how much you know about me or what kind of spite you have for doing this.
I’m deliberately showing off the dark sky and testing my skills with clumsy things called goblins. In other words, they are looking at me very disdainfully. Because I don’t want to be treated the way I want.
‘You may believe that he is observing me one-sidedly.’
I’d like to try a few things too.
I dodged the goblin’s blindly swinging sword and grabbed the back of his neck. I went behind him and stabbed him in the side with my sword. You won’t die right away, but your combat power will be immediately lost. Normally.
Kiik! Kieeee!!
But even as the goblin screamed, it waved its arms and legs in an attempt to kill me. It was like a roar of rage that not even the scream could kill me.
If he moved his body too vigorously, blood would flow and there would be a lot of pain, but he didn’t seem to care.
Sigh! Phew!
This time, the blade was driven into both eyes in turn. At the same time, I checked the appearance of other goblins.
Normally, most people become scared when they witness a horrific murder right in front of their eyes. Same goes for goblins.
However, these people did not seem to care whether the thing in front of them that looked like them died or not. He still shows his will to kill me and swings his weapon with all his might.
‘I’m sure you’re completely possessed.’
I don’t know what the enemy is, but he seems to be quite good at interfering with other people’s minds.
I decapitated the one I was holding and tossed it aside. With the corpse blocking my path, I walked over to the other goblin.
The culprit must be watching what I do from somewhere.
There is still a lot left for me to test here as well.
And above all, they shouldn’t have dragged me into the forest.
Caw –
To me, the forest is a place with more eyes and ears than anywhere else.
