The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 205

Chapter 68 Reaction (2)

There are good and bad characters in the game Etius.

But that’s not the game setting.

A temporary role established by players through exchange of information with each other and through the community.

There are a lot of named characters in Etius, and they all have three-dimensional personalities, so it is very difficult to remember what each one of them is like.

That is why we first divide it into the largest branches. Those who help in the strategy are good, and those who hinder are evil.

Therefore, the characters determined in this way can change from a good role to a villain or vice versa due to certain variables.

Of course, players decide on good and bad roles through repeated play and through numerous information. Only players whose roles have never changed.

However, even then, someone’s role may change on the next play. Something that has never happened before may happen.

‘Senior Elin is corrupt?’

Of course, if you look at it backwards, it is not impossible.

Before Dier entered school, the character who was famous for having little mana was originally Elin.

Elin decided to improve her pure swordsmanship skills in exchange for her low mana, and thanks to this, she established herself as the best swordsman in Constel.

Therefore, Elin’s desire for mana will be stronger than anyone else’s.

Mana was an obstacle throughout his growth, and even though he has reached the pinnacle of his swordsmanship, numerous obstacles must have stood in his way just because he lacked mana.

That thirst may be even greater than Dier.

However, Elin was a person whom Frondier had no doubt believed to be a good figure.

However, since the main character of Etius is actually Aster, Elin is only on Aster’s side, but may be an enemy to someone else. Even if it is Frontier.

A good character can become a villain at any time.

Even if you have never seen such a sight before.

‘however.’

Elin is now facing Frondier, emitting a strong aura.

The monsters’ sudden increase in mana. Elin’s instructions to send Roxy out and leave them alone in the building. Elin’s words and actions are shown now.

All of this conveys that Elin has ‘fallen’.

“senior.”

Frondier’s voice was as soft as ever.

“What happened?”

“….”

Frondier treated Elin in front of him as usual. Elin didn’t like that.

“I often hear that too.”

As Elin spoke, she raised her sword and took a stance. A combat stance that is clean and elegant, but at the same time instills great fear in the opponent.

“You really can’t understand the atmosphere, Frontier.”

Evans family weapon technique

Elin Evans’ unique sword

style Ilsa (一絲)

Elin’s sword with a horizontal blade. Elin was launched towards Frondier with her blade.

It is without any movement such as kicking the ground, bending the knees, or flexing the body.

It flies straight at the opponent with the blade pointing towards it. As if a still screen suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

A terrifying blow in which the body flies in a single line without the opponent being able to see when to attack or how to approach.

Wow!

Frondier raised his short sword and clashed with Elin’s blade.

“That’s amazing, Frontier. “You can’t stop this.”

“Because I know…!”

Frondier answered like that, but cold sweat broke out on his back.

Originally, Elin did not use this technique often. It is only used when the opponent lets down his guard when he sees a clear gap, or as a base for escaping from a crisis. This is because the original mana is low and cannot be used a few times.

However, now that mana was overflowing, Elin used this technique just for ‘access’.

Kang! Cough! Kakkang!

Frondier blocked Elin’s sword swings several times. But I thought about it at the same time.

In all likelihood, Elin’s swordsmanship was far beyond the student’s level. Just looking at the level of technology, it may be comparable to Atjie.

‘If you go into close combat, you’re at a disadvantage.’

Frontier manipulated the Black Sky.

Shhh!

The black heavens gathered together and became thorns that threatened Elin. The barrage of thorns coming from all directions without any gaps certainly seemed to have completely trapped Elin, but it was

gone

!

The successive attacks were not completely simultaneous, but had a split-second sequence, so Elin struck them all ‘in order’.

“…!”

And once again.

“Frondier you.”

─You have no intention of doing it right.

All in one!

Kaaaaang!

It was too late to raise the sword. Frondier made a quick decision and raised his arms. Adae screamed after being hit by Elin’s sword. Fortunately, the leg that was making an unpleasant sound did not crack any further.

“It’s stronger than I thought.”

“Let’s talk, Senior Elin!”

“no.”

Hissing, Elin retrieved the sword and stabbed it again. This time, three strikes in a row. Elin, who was rich in Aurors, seemed to have nothing to hide.

A sword or a sword cannot block those three stabs.

‘Damn it.’

Weaving (織造) Black River (黑川)

Grade – Main God

Rinotoros

Quang!

Frondier created Ares’ shield and struck down Elin’s sword.

Linotoros, a divine shield that blocks all attacks from the front. Frondier originally had no intention of weaving Ares’ spear and shield.

This is because God Ares manipulated it, so it is impossible to read all of the abilities and detailed descriptions.

Weaving is possible and it can be used like this, but I was concerned that if this were to happen, Ares would attach some device to the spear or shield.

‘…I don’t think there’s any particular problem right now.’

Just in case, I canceled the shield again.

“It’s an amazing shield.”

Elin, who slipped after being hit by a shield, said.

With those words, Ellie completed her attack stance again.

Of course, Frontier couldn’t just sit there and watch.

Weaving Black River

Grade – Main God

Chryselakatos Iokeira

Weaves the bow and arrows of the god and simultaneously shoots Black River to block Elin’s retreat. Of course, Elin was good at avoiding cooking.

“Stop.”

It was impossible to go beyond the frontier’s ‘field of vision’.

“This arrow never misses. “If you saw it, you would know.”

Of course, the condition is that you have to be within Frontier’s line of sight, but there’s no need to tell you that.

“Shoot Frontier.”

However, Elin said.

It wasn’t a conceit that I could avoid it. Elin was planning to get hit.

“If you don’t shoot me now, the other kids will be in danger.”

“…Are you saying that the goal from the beginning was to tie my feet up?”

“Well, that’s kind of it.”

As long as Frontier is here, of course he cannot use ‘firecrackers’ to destroy a single monster.

“….”

“What’s wrong? “Shoot, Frontier.”

Elin completely relaxed her attack stance and stood there. It was an easy provocation.

Frondier opened his mouth while aiming at Elin.

“Do you remember your senior?”

“what?”

“It’s about the golem incident, the day we stopped Senior Edwin together.”

“….”

On the day when Edwin was induced by Hephaestus and caused an incident, Elin stopped Edwin before Frondier. To bring back a friend who had fallen into a strange path.

“I said then. “There’s no way Edwin would kill someone.”

“…I don’t really remember.”

“Same goes for seniors.”

“….”

Elin quietly looked at Frondier. As if he could see through Frondier’s thoughts.

But it was the same with Frontier.

“I’m stranded? That doesn’t really matter anymore. “There are many outstanding students at Constel other than me, and they also grew up prepared to die during vacation.”

Frontier knows Astor Evans.

The factor that makes Aster the strongest when playing as the protagonist is the appearance of another strong person.

In the beginning, Robald was like that, and later on, many enemies were like that, the Zodiac was like that, and the mythical monsters deep in the outer reaches were like that.

Now, Aster has a being called Frontier.

This is not a man who will stop here.

‘There’s no way you wouldn’t know that.’

Elin Evans is Aster’s older sister.

You probably know more about Aster than Frontier.

The current Aster, Elodie and other students are among the monsters outside, and there is no danger to them just because the thermal plate has amplified their mana a little. I will quickly resolve this and move on to help other students.

That’s why Frontier finds Elin’s behavior even more bizarre.

“Frondier. At the time of the golem incident, I saw Edwin as an enemy and fought against him. I think you still lack that. “You better take this opportunity to learn to doubt.”

Elin’s words.

Frondier’s eyes quickly became cold. Memories that had been forgotten for a while slowly surfaced.

“…something like that.”

The voice slowly speaking rang out darkly.

“I’ve already done it countless times.”

“…what?”

The game Etius is a world where everything is uncertain.

I don’t know what lies beyond the human realm, I don’t know what it means to clear the game, and I don’t know what each character thinks.

It was natural for players to become suspicious after repeated game overs.

Broadly speaking, it starts with the suspicion, ‘Isn’t this a game where there is no clearing?’ and

eventually, ‘Is the main character a good character?’ Even doubts.

Of course, Frontier went through that process, and most people quit the game during that process.

When I’m playing a game, I don’t trust the characters in the game, I don’t trust what’s written in the book, and I end up doubting every word they say or do.

And when you fall into the shadow of doubt and can’t trust people, it’s already ‘game over’ even if the game doesn’t tell you.

‘If you don’t believe in anything, you can’t go anywhere.’

In the end, in order to take even one step forward in the game Etius, you have to believe in something.

There is nothing to know. It’s about gradually building up things that you believe are right, just like reality.

Doubt always operates on the foundation of faith.

What you decide to believe in will not be shaken no matter what happens.

Frontier played Etius more than anyone else. To him, faith is the only basis and key to advancing through this game.

And Elin is included in the foundation.

“Of course, for me there is no such thing as unwavering faith.”

Blind faith is the same as a person who believes that rock-paper-scissors is a game of chance and always gives only rocks.

This is the same even if there is trust Elin has shown in her play so far.

Faith always presupposes mutuality.

“He told me to shoot an arrow.”

Frondier’s cool eyes glared at Elin.

“Let me say the opposite.”

Frondier said as he tightened his grip on the bowstring.

“Try even just one step from there.”

“…!”

It is reasonable to say that Elin is already corrupted enough just by looking at her appearance.

The reason Frondier has not turned against her yet is simply because she is ‘Elin Evans’.

However, Frontier is not so immature that it tolerates things that go too far.

“I made enough concessions to my senior. Your senior will do the same. “When I was fighting with my senior, I thought of my older brother.”

Just as Frontier had no murderous intent toward Elin, the same was true for Elin.

Elin herself responds with the excuse that it was ‘to tie her feet’.

“Senior Elin not moving from there is the last line I can yield to him.”

Elin told Frondier to ‘shoot’. As if he knew Frontier wouldn’t shoot.

However, if you are sure that Frondier will not shoot, you can just move Elin yourself. If Frontier doesn’t shoot, she’ll regain the upper hand.

In other words, Elin actually knows.

What it means to break this deadlock.

“I have no idea what process my senior went through to receive mana injections and now confront me.”

I don’t know anything.

That too.

“Senior will do the same. “You don’t know anything about me.”

As Frondier spoke, he

slowly brought up his ‘life’ that had never been shown while he was crossing swords with Elin, and told her.

“I’ll say it again. “Try to move. From then on, I will do as Elin senior wishes.”

Before you know it, Frontier’s fierceness is reflected in even the slightest tremor of protest in his voice, eyes, and bow, filling the building and stabbing at Elin.

As if in response, the black sky waved like a wave and sharpened its sharp blade at Elin.

“As an enemy, I will kill my senior.”
