The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 20

Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 20 Chapter

6 Golem (1)

After the joint mission is over.

“Oh.”

As usual, as I was heading to the training room after school, I saw someone approaching from a distance in the hallway.

A woman with long brown hair. Soft eyes make the viewer feel calm.

The woman approached me at a slow pace

and passed me by.

‘…He’s a strange person.’

Until now, the number of students who passed me by as ordinary people can be counted on one hand.

There is no way to ignore the mixture of bad reputation and fame.

But that woman treated me with complete indifference.

No, it’s not something that’s easy to understand like indifference, it’s something like that. I feel like I can’t even enter the realm of awareness.

‘…ah.’

As I thought about it, I realized who it was.

A certain memory reached me.

When I found out who it was, I burst into laughter.

Something makes me feel stupid.

“It’s Elin.”

Aster Evans’ older sister, Elin Evans.

She was neither indifferent nor calm.

He was just sleeping.

I scratched my head and headed toward the training room.

Tiring –

I was taking a break for a while when my smartwatch rang.

Quest notification sound.

I guessed the timing and knew what this quest was.

But I hoped that wasn’t the case. I opened my smartwatch, hoping not, but

[Main Quest: Attack]

– A large-scale attack by monsters occurs in Constel. Be prepared.

– If the response is insufficient, there is a possibility of the named character disappearing.

“Did you give this as a quest?”

The quest content is extremely simple and clear. But in reality it is not that simple.

Constell’s main quest raid.

Literally. An event where monsters suddenly flock like the tide.

Etius always requires the player to make a choice.

An event literally just happens and it is up to the player to react to it.

The same goes for this attack.

You can kill monsters at random, target only important monsters, or just wait and see.

Of course, if you really need to, it is possible to leave Constel entirely during the event.

But it will come at a price.

Even in quests, the possibility of named characters disappearing was nailed down.

“In the end, I have to become stronger.”

I was lucky when I fought the Red Bear. No, should I say we fought over it?

I knew the red bear’s habits and knew it would scream because I could see its behavior before the pattern. At that time, I managed to throw the dagger and hit the bear in the eye, but that was it.

If I had been alone, I would have died afterwards.

There is no way this ad hoc approach will work every time.

Of course, weaving is important, but the experience level of the battle itself must increase.

“…ha.”

I sigh.

Actually I know how to solve this. But I don’t really want to do that.

But there is only one answer, and you have to lose to get your money’s worth.

“…Shall we go?”

I stood up.

* * *

Professor Binkis’ laboratory at that time.

In a dark hallway with no lights, someone was squatting in front of a lab.

He covered his face with a hood, looked around as if he was used to it, and opened the locked lock using his ‘spiritual power’.

To him, who was loved by Hephaestus, the metal lock was like an open door.

Once inside, he lit the lantern he had brought. The sound of a light intake of air was heard and the surroundings became bright.

He took off his hood and it was Edwin.

Edwin walked slowly and brought the lantern to the target.

“…Amazing.”

There was a golem there. Metal Golem, Professor Vinkis’ work.

The figure, kneeling on one knee and raising a spear, resembles a strong knight.

This golem was completed as Edwin watched from the side as Professor Binkis’ assistant.

I swallowed dry saliva.

Edwin’s eyes see through the entire structure of the metal golem. As I saw last time, the owner’s position is still empty.

Edwin stretched out his hand as if he were drunk and poured magic power into it.

‘…as expected, there is a password.’

Even if the owner’s seat was empty, it does not mean that he was indifferent to security.

In order to obtain that authority, all kinds of security and passwords were required that only Professor Binkis knew.

Edwin hesitated for the first time. Up to this point, you can pass it off as just touching it out of curiosity, but if you touch the security, you can’t even remove it.

But for a moment his concern made his eyes shine even brighter.

The structure of this golem created by Vinkis is dense, complex, and elaborate.

In Edwin’s eyes, it is simply beautiful.

If only I could make this golem mine.

‘…I mean, I’m just going to test it out. What am I going to do?’

Edwin began to disarm security. Carefully and precisely, like a time bomb. Even Vinkis would not have expected that speed and accuracy.

But to penetrate the security, you need more luck than that.

No matter how accurately you see the structure, in order to forcibly break through the security, you have to pass the two-choice or three-choice test.

If you do not pass, security will be completely blocked immediately and a signal will be sent to Professor Vinkis on the spot.

It’s a level of difficulty that requires you to avoid all the land mines, understand the structure accurately, and answer everything you have to do on top of it.

──But is this God’s work?

“done.”

Edwin’s hand stopped.

Surprisingly, he succeeded in taking over the golem’s mastery.

“…wake up.”

The golem’s eyes glowed red at his words.

He straightens his knees and faces Edwin with a proud look.

Edwin’s hands were shaking.

The specimen-like appearance of this knight is so beautiful, and the operation of the structure interpreted by his eyes is even fascinating.

“Handle the spear.”

The golem held the spear and played with it freely as if it were a feather.

Does this mean that it has the unique durability of metal and the loyalty of a golem?

Truly an ideal soldier.

“Good Joe. “Go back to your original position.”

The golem calmly returned to its original position and knelt down on one knee.

It looks the same as before it was launched.

“Deactivate.”

The light in the golem’s eyes disappeared and the laboratory became completely silent again.

Edwin’s face, illuminated by the lantern, was covered in red heat.

* * *

I was currently experiencing the most tense atmosphere in the mansion in days.

In front of me, Ajie was looking at me with an expression of displeasure.

Is it because I suddenly came to your room without warning? But what’s the point of going to my brother’s room and giving notice?

“Teach me how to fight?”

At Jie’s cold voice, the maids around them tensed and flinched.

How to solve the problem I have. That’s Ajida. As far as I know, there is hardly anyone better than this in battle.

Besides, he’s my brother.

…However, I don’t know much about the character Ajie.

When I played as Aster, none of my colleagues were close to the Roach family.

Ampere, who protects the frontier, and his son Agier are characters that we only hear about through rumors and gossip.

So, it is only in the past few days that I have looked into the character of Atzieh.

During that short period of time, I continued to watch Azier as a frontier, and found that he was a cautious, cool-headed, yet very suspicious person.

That suspicious personality made me more anxious than anything else.

“Did you become impatient after receiving a warning from your father?”

Father’s warning. Is that what you said to be in the top 10 in the overall rankings?

Of course, that is important, but the ‘raid’ is more important and urgent.

“Go back. I have nothing to teach you. “Take responsibility for your lazy life.”

After saying that, Ajie folded his arms and closed his eyes.

Are you planning on staying still like that until I leave?

Atjie definitely won’t like me.

Although Ajie had talent, he worked harder than anyone else to catch up with his father. The skills I have now were not easily achieved.

So, I don’t like my younger brother who was just lazy. I understand.

But I also don’t like Frontier.

It feels like I am taking on the mountain of homework that others have put off. Or maybe he became a new employee who took care of the mistakes his predecessor made.

“…Then how about this?”

In that situation, there are only two things for the newcomer to do.

Either I should leave the company like my predecessor.

“If we spar and I get at least one hit, will you teach me?”

Prove that you are better than your predecessor.

Atjie opened his eyes.

That alone lowered the temperature in the room.

The maid next to her was really shaking.

“What benefit do I get from doing something like that?”

“I know that I am a thorn in your eyes.”

“Be careful what you say.”

“If this continues, I will not be in the top 10 and will be excommunicated. So,”

I took a deep breath.

“If I can’t land the blow, I’ll go out on my own.”

I went out to the backyard of Atjiewa Mansion. All occupants of the mansion were asked to leave.

Ajie and I stood facing each other while the son-in-law was quiet.

Atjie held up his fake spear, or baton, and looked at me coldly.

His eyes spread with displeasure towards me.

“Your arrogance is sky-high, Frondier.”

It’s arrogance. The challenge of hitting even a single blow is arrogance.

But Ajie’s assessment is correct.

Even if you bring a student from Constell, not me, they won’t be able to touch a single hair of Ajie.

There is only one advantage. It’s just that I’m not a real frontier.

The fact that there is no information about me is my only chance.

‘Just once.’

I adjusted the imitation dagger in both hands.

You shouldn’t take too long. If you do that, you will lose anyway.

Since I have never encountered Ajie in the game, I only know about Ajie from information I heard from other players. His specialty habit patterns.

But Ajie is not a monster or anything. It’s human. You cannot expect a fixed pattern.

So all I can do is force myself into that pattern.

“Go for it. Let me attack first-”

I threw the dagger before Ajie could finish his sentence.

Ajie’s hand holding the baton moved reflexively.

Suddenly my dagger was easily blocked.

After throwing the dagger, I was already rushing towards Ajie.

There is one more dagger.

“Sigh!”

While Ajie was deflecting the thrown dagger, I stabbed him with the second dagger.

Although I couldn’t hear it clearly in that brief moment.

“…ha.”

I could almost hear Ajie’s bored sigh.

The moment my dagger and the end of Ajie’s baton touched the end of

Ajie’s unique spear

technique,

no sound was heard.

Atjie’s perfect increase and subtraction of power brought the weapons of both sides together without a sound.

Immediately after, I heard a dry crackling sound

and

my dagger flew away.

This is Ajie’s technical failure.

It is an almost mystical technique that causes the opponent to drop their weapon from their hand.

“It’s ugly frontier.”

Atjie lightly swung the baton and placed the end at the lower left side.

Ajie’s specialty, ‘diagonal slash’, is here.

Ajie Spear Basics

Chapter 3

Diagonal Cut

At this moment, I missed the second dagger and was completely bare-handed.

Even if you knew about the attack, there would be no way to do anything about it.

──Ajie thinks so.

My numbers work.

At the moment when Ajie raises the bar diagonally upward.

Tuk.

My ‘blow’ went into Ajie’s head.

Stand tall.

With that, Ajie’s baton stopped. Right next to my temple.

“…?”

Atjie stopped the baton because he was hit on the head.

But even so, it seemed like he didn’t understand why he had allowed me to be hit.

My ‘hit’ rolls sideways.

It was a dagger. The third replica dagger.

“I won.”
