The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 190
Chapter 61 Freshmen (2)
I am called a sloth among students these days.
No, it seems that not only students, but also everyone within Constel, including teachers and staff, know about my nickname.
Sloth from human sloth. Actually, the meaning is the same, but I think it is an improved evaluation in its own way.
So, here are my honest thoughts on the name change.
“I feel like I’m going to die of shame….”
My mood quickly worsened because of the whispering voices and looks in my eyes as I walked to school.
Somehow, it’s even more famous than when I was in first grade. At the time, it was generally met with ridicule and contempt, but now it seems to have changed into an image of fear.
…I don’t know if it’s getting better.
The third year, including Queenie, graduated, and I became a second year student. From what I heard, it seems that senior Elin is serving as the temporary student council president.
What was a little surprising was that in the original game, the election of the student council president proceeded without any problems. Of course, someone different from senior Elin will serve as student council president.
However, since he rarely appears in game scenarios, it is assumed that he was not a named character.
To be honest, the treatment of the student council and student council president at Constel is not good. Since students do not focus on their school life, the student council naturally becomes ineffective.
However, Elin senior volunteered to become the student council president. I might be able to see a different landscape from the Constell I knew.
There are a few things that have changed since becoming a sophomore, but the most notable one is.
“Hello Frontier!”
“hello.”
“Hey Frontier.”
“Mr. Frontier.”
Several characters greet me when I enter the classroom.
As I entered second grade, of course the class changed and I was in class 1.
And this first class is where all the named characters are gathered together. Starting with Aster, Elodie, Cybel, Lunia Robald, etc. Moreover, Aten, who was originally in the same class as me, is also here.
‘I knew at least that they were all gathered in one class.’
Never thought I would get in here.
Moreover, this time, Cora, a prisoner who was not originally a Constel student, and Selena, who I brought with me, are in this class.
In the game, Frontier disappeared after a while, so I was really curious about which class I would end up in.
But it’s class 1. Is this a planned pattern if Frontier remains in Constel?
‘Did the president have a hand in it?…’
No, the president wouldn’t intervene to put students into one class. Let’s think of this as a predetermined fate.
“Frondier, you’re sitting next to me again.”
“I know. Please take care of me.”
Aten smiled brightly next to him.
My seat was at the back, by the window, and wasn’t much different from when I was a freshman. It’s the same with Aten sitting next to me. Of course, Cora is also nearby.
However, it was quite refreshing for me to see other people who were different. Since it was the same classroom as Aster and Elodie, I wondered if I would be able to see them studying in the classroom.
In addition,
“Frondier of Sloth!” hi!”
“shut up.”
Cybel approached, grinning. Just hearing that one word started giving me a headache.
“Why is it a good nickname! Sloth’s frontier. “It’s better than the human sloth Frontier.”
“I don’t know. These days, it feels like there.”
Aten, who had been listening quietly, asked.
“If you say ‘sloth’, isn’t it one of the seven deadly sins?”
“…I don’t think it’s meant to have that deep meaning.”
The Seven Deadly Sins The seven sins that are said to be the origins of evil deeds committed by humans.
In reality, it is a sin defined by the church, but in the game Etius, the image of the ‘devil’ is much stronger.
Each of the seven deadly sins has a corresponding devil, and in the case of sloth, the corresponding devil is ‘Belphegor’. As one of the seven major demons, it is said to have terrifying power.
However, none of the seven major demons have appeared in Etius.
Even after searching the entire community, there was no one who had witnessed it. Sometimes people who wanted attention spread rumors and exaggerations, but they were all lies.
‘But it definitely exists as knowledge.’
If you want to investigate the 7 major demons in this game, it comes out right away.
This is a story that is sometimes mentioned in libraries, bookstores, and even on Wizard View. Therefore, many gamers at the time said, ‘Why would they put something that doesn’t exist as information in the game?’ So the 7 Great Devils was one of the things that were constantly coming up.
Nevertheless, since no one has seen a single one of the seven major devils, the manga game is ultimately just a manga game.
“Frondier, are you really Belphegor?”
Robald, who was next to me, was exaggerated and surprised. Thanks to this, all the students around me looked at me.
I covered my face with my hands.
“stop. “Because it’s embarrassing.”
“no wonder! I thought it was strange that this guy who sleeps well at home sleeps all day long in class, but a devil would be able to do that
.
This kid is talking as if everyone should listen.
The students around were whispering to each other and nodding.
Are you really persuaded?
* * *
Although Frontier himself does not know.
He was currently considered a person of interest even among second graders.
If you look at it simply in terms of interest, it is higher than Aster.
Excellent grades and skills demonstrated during the midterm and final exams of each semester. In addition to his strangely seeming involvement whenever an incident occurred, a strange current flowed between the promising students and their teachers, knowingly and unknowingly showing understanding and consideration.
In particular, most students were interested in Frontier’s theoretical skills.
For Constel, each exam is divided into written and practical exams, and for Frontier, he got a perfect score every time he took the written exam.
Combat skills and magic are largely dependent on talent, but the theory is not. Theory is put together so that everyone can understand, and theory is studied to make it applicable to the majority.
So it was natural that students would be more interested in the theory of the Frontier than its combat abilities.
The situation where you can get a glimpse of that side of things is during class time. Because of this, the students in class 1 did not show any signs, but everyone waited for class time to come.
To check Frontier’s study method. This was the same for named characters, including Aster.
And when it finally came time for class.
‘…what?’
Most students had similar thoughts.
‘You’re not doing anything.’
Just like they think.
Frontier did nothing.
In fact, you are putting in the content the teacher explains in class or the material screen you are showing, but of course other people just think you are just watching.
Only Aten stayed calm next to her as if this was something she was used to.
But if you say that you are ignoring class.
“Come out to the frontier and solve it. There are two empty symbols in the magic circle and three incorrect symbols. “Try editing everything.”
“yes.”
The teacher instructs Frondier to solve the problem written on the blackboard, and Frondier answers calmly and then goes out and solves the problem.
Since this problem is based on the content of this class, you cannot solve it if you were not listening to the class.
And also in the next class.
“When did the Frontier student sanctuary first occur?”
Also in the next class.
“Frondier loquat steel is said to be the best metal for making swords. However, pipa steel weapons with magic circles engraved on them are very rare. “Tell me why.”
Even in the next class, Frontier answered the teachers’ questions without difficulty and answered all of them correctly.
In the process, the students realized something else.
‘I get asked too many questions about Frontier!’
Teachers sang Frontier at least once in every class. The teachers didn’t pay much attention, as if they were used to Frondier not taking notes.
And most of the teachers were not surprised that Frontier gave the correct answer.
It was by no means an easy problem, but it seemed very natural for the teachers to nod their heads after listening to Frontier’s answer and then proceed with the lesson based on his answer.
It was no longer a matter of getting the correct answer or not. I was using Frontier to help other students understand and to let them know which parts they needed to memorize and learn. Because I know he will definitely give the right answer.
‘What is he…’
Because Frontier is available, teachers feel much more comfortable in class. Because teaching someone sometimes requires appropriate questions and answers rather than just doing it on your own. Frontier played its role perfectly.
At the time of first grade, Frontier was in class 5, so the students there were somewhat familiar with Frontier, but for second grade students, it was a fresh shock.
Of course, this shock was the same for the named characters.
‘…Frondier is very smart.’
Elodie saw it for a moment. After the winter break, Frontier seemed to have gotten a little bigger.
Maybe it’s not an illusion and it’s actually true. Through considerable intense training, the muscles have grown, and the growing body will continue to grow the skeleton.
‘…I just don’t think that change is possible.’
Elodie looked at Frondier’s body more closely. His body became inherently stronger.
Elodie may not know it, but Frondier twice exceeded her mana exhaustion limit and in the process, her body was pushed to a dangerous point.
But somehow, after recovery, my body became stronger than before. Frondier learned how to avoid fainting ‘after’ mana was depleted, and his body even adapted to that.
‘And the biggest change.’
Elodie looked away from Frondier and glanced at Aten and Runia. The two of them also had similar looks in their eyes as they looked at Frontier.
As wizards, they would have noticed. The explosive growth of Frontier’s mana. Although I am hiding it well in my own way, I feel the presence of a huge mana whose depth is unknown.
“Oh, and I have a message for you all.”
After the afternoon class ended, teacher Jane looked at everyone and said,
Jane took on the role of homeroom teacher for class 1 in the second grade. The intention was obvious. He plans to watch Frontier and Korra closely.
Jane is the only teacher who knows anything about Frontier.
“From now on, students whose names will be called will come to the teacher’s office after school.”
Jane took out a piece of paper with a list on it and recited the names one by one.
“Aster Evans.”
From the moment the name was first mentioned, the students felt that something was out of the ordinary.
“Elodie de Inies Richae.”
And that intuition turned into certainty.
“Rovald Liev Runia Frisel Aten Terst….”
Seeing the popularity of the names being called, the students’ whispers increased.
Constel is trying to do something! With such anticipation and curiosity, the students’ exclamation marks slowly grew,
“Frondier de Roach.”
The exclamation point in the name suddenly became a question mark and then disappeared.
“…Eh?”
In fact, the person who was called was tilting his head with one eye creased.
* * *
“Skills test?”
It was Robald who opened his mouth after hearing the explanation in the teacher’s office.
Jane nodded.
“Yes, we are going to conduct a skills test for the new students who entered Constel. “You were selected for that test.”
Jane’s face was full of worry as she spoke. Her concerns were clear. Students who heard the explanation also had similar questions.
“We didn’t do that back then, right?”
Aster’s question. Jane sighed as if she truly sympathized.
“That’s right….”
“Is it going to be implemented starting this year?”
“okay. “This student council president is very enthusiastic.”
The students whose names were called at Jane’s words looked like they knew something. Does senior Elin have an ulterior motive?
“Aster, she’s your older sister. “Did you say anything?”
“well. “My sister doesn’t say much, and I can’t tell what she’s thinking from her facial expressions or facial expressions.”
Aster answered as if he was troubled.
Aster jokingly said that it was her personality, but in reality, Elin’s poker face was closer to her attitude as a prosecutor than to her personality.
Elin’s swordsmanship, which allows her to not know how to attack until just before she swings her sword, has become ingrained in her daily life.
Thanks to this, my younger brother Aster’s reaction speed and agility are improving day by day as he has to deal with Elin’s seemingly sudden movements, such as throwing a glass of water horizontally without overflowing or throwing a kitchen knife in a clean straight line when handed her. there is. I don’t know if it’s a good thing.
“What can we do?”
“Hmm, what can I say. “I will give you instructions in the future, so there are many things, but in one word, it is:”
Jane looked at the teacher’s room ceiling, thought for a moment, and then tilted her head.
“…Let me feel the difference in power?”
“Why is it a question?”
“Personally, I’m worried about students taking tests like this among themselves. Seniors may try to show off their power and juniors may push themselves to beat the seniors, which increases the chance of injuries. That’s why we carefully selected students from each class.”
In other words, there is no need to show off one’s strength, and the junior has an overwhelming skill gap that the junior cannot possibly defeat.
These are the people who were carefully selected in that way.
“…Hey.”
At that time, one person raised his hand.
It was Frontier.
“Why was I chosen?”
“….”
“….”
At Frondier’s question, the other students and Jane looked at him with cold eyes.
Aster sighed.
“Then who else will I choose other than you?”
“ah?”
Robald said with a proud face.
“Frondier doesn’t work anymore.”
“uh?”
Elodie had a grin on her lips.
“It must have been hard to pretend to be weak, but we got caught.”
“ok?”
Aten said with a serious face.
“What you need to be careful about, Mr. Frontier, is strength control. So as not to accidentally hurt the new student. “Did you know?”
“what?”
Frontier’s abbreviation cosplay is no longer in vain.
Of course, they do not know all of Frontier’s powers. Because all they’ve seen is what’s inside Constel.
But at least he has enough skills to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. In particular, Aten knows a little better than others. Because I saw Mjolnir and participated in the Battle of Tayvon’s Wall.
‘It’s difficult. If this continues, we might all get caught.’
Frondier thought about ‘power control’ for a moment, thinking about the remaining moves he had.
* * *
“Ugh, what is it? “Why don’t you call me?”
Cybel grumbled.
Just by hearing the names of the people being called, you can immediately understand what the list is like.
However, Saibel Forte was not on the list. There was a frontier.
In fact, this is obvious. Although Cybel has tremendous talent, it has not yet blossomed. Could it be said that it is delaying flowering on its own?
She is basically an optimistic optimist, so she is not that passionate about self-cultivation. Her rising abilities shine in crisis situations.
In the game, various main events, including raids, torment Constell’s students, and Cybel’s talents are noticed. This is why gamers first fall in love with Cybel.
However, here, frontiers often cut off all shoots that could cause an incident in advance, which ended up delaying the flowering of Cybel.
As a result, from Cybel’s point of view, the situation was better than during the game, but it was true that right now, it was just a little less than the number of people named.
“Selena is also dissatisfied, right? “He’s that strong.”
Cybel spoke to Selena, who was sitting in the classroom.
Cybel recognized Selena’s strength at a glance. Actually, I felt like my gait was unusual, but I was convinced after seeing several tests taken at Constel.
“It’s been a while since I came to Constel.”
As she said, Selena had just entered the school, so from Constell’s perspective, there was too little data. That was the reason for being excluded from the list.
“But you’re not going? “It’s after school.”
Cybel tilted her head. Selena is said to be an escort from the Frontier, but you don’t usually feel that way.
The two don’t hang out that close together and don’t talk much.
This was because Selena could always use transference to protect Frontiere when it was in danger, but of course, Cybel had no way of knowing.
“Oh, I have a promise….”
“A promise? with who?”
“Ah, Mr. Frontier said he would come back here from the teacher’s office.”
At those words, Sibel blinked her big eyes for a moment. Soon, he smiled brightly and a mischievous look appeared in his eyes.
“what? Is it a date? “Are you dating Selena Frontier?”
Selena blinked at Cybel’s words. Selena thought for a moment. What is a date? And what am I doing now? Does what I am about to do with Frontier fall into the category of the word ‘date’?
After thinking about it carefully, Selena said.
“…something like that.”
A word that seems to be muttered at the end of deep thought.
Cybel stiffened, just like her smiling face.
“…what?”
