The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 203

Chapter 67: Trinity (2)

Almost all students now know the rumors about Frontier.

This may be due to the ripple effect of the rumor itself, but there is definitely someone leading the rumor.

Frontier did not respond in any way to the various rumors surrounding him.

The languid face and quiet mouth were still the same, and the fact that he called Pielot and ran wild was still the same.

Of course, that appearance added even more negative spice to the rumor, but he actually didn’t seem to care.

Since Frontier did not respond, the people around him also remained silent.

Therefore, the students wanted to know the truth of the rumor.

Frondier’s consistent silence made it seem like he was either confirming the rumors or not bothering to open his mouth to trivial rumors.

If he had been alone, the students would have quickly believed the rumor to be true and slandered Frondier, but since the people around him treated Frondier as usual, the other students were confused.

─You need to know Frontier’s true skills.

The students’ thoughts were focused on one thing. And in fact, this idea was already a major concern for students who knew about Frontier even before the rumor spread.

In the end, whether you believed the rumors or not, the common thought was that you were curious about Frontier’s power.

As if responding to the feelings of such students, an appropriate event came to Constel.

“It’s a joint mission.”

Frondier looked at the schedule on the classroom bulletin board and muttered.

“Three people, one from each grade, form a team and complete a simple mission. “You did it last year too.”

Elodie said.

In last year’s joint mission, Frontier served with Edwin Quinier. He is now a sophomore and Quinier has graduated. I’ll have to meet the new first and third years and go on a mission.

“How about you, Frontier? “I think this is a good opportunity to put to rest the rumors about Constell.”

“It is not a problem that can be solved simply by demonstrating one’s skills.”

Frondier said.

The main point of the rumor is whether Frontier received a mana injection or not.

Of course, Frondier does not have any of the symptoms characteristic of someone who has received the injection, but the rumor includes that it is because he has developed a tolerance due to repeated injections. That’s why the amount of mana grown is significant.

“If we try hard like this, it will only spur the rumors. “The only interpretation is that he is that strong because he received a mana injection.”

“Then what? If you let this continue, the rumor will get out of hand. You know that too, right? “This isn’t something we can just ignore.”

Frondier nodded at Elodie’s words.

The main purpose of this rumor is ultimately mana injection. I don’t know if someone somewhere is procuring such a thing and recommending it, but as the rumor about Frontier spreads, more and more people will become interested in injections.

‘I heard that the incident has already been reported to the police and that Aten has reported it to the imperial palace. From what I heard, it seems that Aji also participated in a professional mission.’

Frontier already knew the general outlines of outside information.

Even if we leave it alone anyway, if the Imperial Palace Pro Constel cooperates, they will quickly catch the mastermind and kill him once and for all.

Frontier’s role is to prevent students from touching the injections carelessly. Because we do not yet know whether treatment is possible after receiving an injection.

“There is only one way.”

Frontier’s sigh deepened.

Elodie tilted her head. I can’t think of a sharp number. Is there a way?

“What?”

“I have to complete the mission without using mana.”

“…?!”

Elodie opened her mouth at those words.

What did he just say? Don’t you use mana in joint missions?

“You know what that means.”

“And if possible, we should finish it as quickly as possible. Anyway, I have to appeal to students.”

There, Frondier said something even more absurd. Elodie repeatedly tried to say something with her mouth open and then closed it.

Complete the mission quickly enough to appeal to students without using mana. There is no need to explain how difficult it is.

In addition, this second year class is filled with many of Constell’s promising players, including Elodie.

When I was a first year student, I was a little reluctant because they were all learners, but as I became a second year student, I was in a position to lead and lead the first year students.

It is virtually impossible to beat them and complete the mission quickly without mana.

…But if it’s Frontier.

When that thought crossed Elodie’s head, an arc was drawn at the corner of Elodie’s mouth. It was a challenging smile.

“I won’t watch it.”

Frondier laughed at Elodie’s words.

“If you look at it, I will be disappointed.”

You’ve decided what to do, now it’s time to take the steps to make it happen.

First of all, mana. The limitation of not using mana is important, but if you want to appeal to students, you need to hide mana beyond what you don’t use.

Frondier didn’t have much mana to begin with, and this time Helheim’s mana is stored up well as it is used like his limbs, but this alone is not enough.

Most wizards have already figured out how much Frondier’s mana is.

‘You need to hide it better.’

And if anyone can do that.

‘I wish you could honestly believe me.’

Frondier smiled bitterly when he remembered that person.

* * *

“I can’t believe it.”

With Frontier in front of him, the man spoke with great caution.

“Even if you don’t believe me, I have nothing more to say to convince you. “I’m just here to learn.”

“I can’t believe that someone as senior as me would bother to come and learn something from me!”

The man was Dier Ager.

When lunch time came, Frondier called Pielot and found out that Pielot was sharing the same dormitory as Dier.

That’s why I came to meet Dier with Pielot now.

“What are you planning? Do you plan to make me your subordinate like Pielot?”

As Frondier expected, Dier was on high alert.

Dier is a smart man. However, it is not as laid-back as Frontier.

A personality that is wary and suspicious of anything that deviates from their expectations, and thinks hard until they find a reason that makes sense.

Of course, this is a result of Dier’s sensitive nature, but it also stems from the obsession that he would not be able to keep up with the strong physical skills of others.

‘Based on my long experience, in order to convince someone like this.’

Rather than trying to convince someone that they are innocent, it is better to provide them with an appropriate reason to resolve their suspicions.

“Actually, Dier.”

“What is it?”

“I plan to make Pielot a warrior comparable to Aster.”

Dier looked at Pielot in surprise, and Pielot looked at Frondier in surprise.

Of course I didn’t lie.

Although this has nothing to do with the reason I came to Dier this time.

Frontier spoke again.

“But as you know, Pielot tends to rely too much on Aurors.”

“Yes. “Pielot is an auror dependent.”

“Don’t talk about it like it’s some strange disease.”

Pielot growled.

“So, first of all, I’m focusing on training without using Aurors. Pielot will know this well.”

Pielot nodded at Frondier’s words.

In fact, so far, Pielot has performed quite well as Frondier’s so-called ‘practice partner’.

And in the meantime, Aurors were banned. If I tried to use it even a little, I was always hit on the head with a wooden mallet. Of course, it’s a woven guy.

“But even that has its limits. It has almost become a habit for Pielot to use Aura. Preventing the use of Aurors is actually a hindrance to training. Of course, it is desirable for a warrior to be able to use Aurors at any time, but it is not suitable for the current training.”

“…Indeed, so.”

“okay. “You must learn the power to completely hide your mana and presence.”

Dier is excellent at hiding his presence to the extreme. So much so that even Frontier missed it for a moment during the test.

That means Dier perfectly handles the mana within him. Dier himself accepts it as if it is no big deal, but there are very few people who can erase their presence to the extent of Dier.

“If Pielot can completely control the mana within himself, the habit of auras popping out will decrease. That’s why I need you.”

Of course, the truth is that Frontier himself needs it, but it seems like he chose an appropriate excuse well.

“…So what do I get?”

“Oh, of course we have that ready.”

Frondier laughed, anticipating Dier’s words.

“If you teach Pielot well, I will introduce you to Aster.”

Frontier had no doubt that this was a very suitable deal.

Both in the game and now, Dier has a strong admiration for Aster.

People usually long for what they do not have, and naturally Aster is a perfect match for his longing partner.

And if Dier can learn from Aster, Dier will also grow greatly, so everything is desirable from Frondier’s perspective.

“…no.”

But Dier shook his head.

He looked at Frondier with brightly shining eyes.

“Senior Sloth will teach me.”

“…what?”

“As you know, I am half-hearted.”

Dier looked at his hands. The mana that can be felt in those hands is definitely there, but compared to other students attending Constell, it is far too small.

“I met someone a while ago. He’s the guy who’s been rumored to be evil around Constel these days. “As soon as he saw me, he immediately asked me if I wanted to become stronger.”

Frontier’s eyes twitched. It’s definitely true. Person in charge of mana injection.

“…I was honestly shaken. It felt like it was for me. “I felt like I was chosen.”

It must have been so.

Of course, it is true that they made them feel that way, but there is no one better suited for them than Dier.

Excellent intelligence, calm judgment, a desire to become stronger, and outstanding eyes and senses.

Dier seems to have gathered everything needed to become the best warrior, only to have his mana and physical abilities taken away.

It is very easy to imagine what would happen if he had enough mana.

“…You refused.”

“yes.”

Frontier was relieved inwardly. I believe in Dier’s true nature, but it must have been too much of a temptation for him.

“It’s my fault that I’m weak.”

“…!”

Frondier was not surprised by Dier’s words. It was Pielot.

Pielot thought. I often talked to Dier, but he had a strange habit.

Saying I am weak. Saying that actually fuels your will.

Dier’s eyes were always shining while doing things that Pielot couldn’t do.

“So this is a problem I will solve.”

Therefore, Dier declined the invitation.

Frondier felt the weight of those words and let out a small breath.

──I have to pay for my laziness.

Did Ampere and Aggie feel this way when they once heard these words from him?

“…So that’s me.”

“sorry. I don’t know what happened to my senior. But for me, senior Na-tae is the clearest role model.”

Frontier was an icon of incompetence during his freshman year.

However, now it is the exact opposite image from then. That seemed so attractive to Dier.

─It is not a path for people to take.

Dier heard something that was almost like a warning from Elodie the other day.

I don’t think that’s a lie. I don’t think it’s exaggeration or pretentiousness.

Dier said, knowing that.

“Please let me walk the same path.”

After hearing that, Frondier thought.

You can’t make him do exactly what he did. If that were the case, Dier would not be able to survive.

The reason Frontiere was able to go through such an experience and grow was because he looked closely at his abilities and believed it was possible. Even if it meant going to hell.

But it’s the same path.

If that means examining Dier’s abilities like Frondier did and giving him the hell he deserves.

“Then first.”

Frontier laughed.

“I’ll make sure you never get called a senior sloth again.”

“…Oh yeah?”

Afterwards, Dier screamed in fear as he underwent Frondier’s training.

No one knew why you should feel fear during training
