The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 21
Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 21
Chapter 6 Golem (2)
The reason why I, who only had two daggers, have a third.
That’s because the second dagger that Ajie dropped with his sword was a fake made of ‘weave’.
Weapons made from weaving cannot interfere with reality.
In other words, I can hold a woven weapon and a real weapon in the same hand. Because woven weapons pass through objects.
What Atjie dropped as a ‘fallen weapon’ was the dagger I had woven.
At the moment of contact, my weave, which appeared in reality, was blown away by Atjie’s fall, but the real dagger still remained in my hand.
He threw the dagger towards Ajie’s head.
‘It was dangerous…’
I said calmly, but I was breaking into a cold sweat.
The moment Ajie took up his stance, he immediately threw the dagger, but he was almost later than Ajie.
To be honest, I couldn’t see it at all with my diagonal slash eyes at the end.
“…How did you do it?”
“What?”
I made a fool of myself. I couldn’t explain weaving.
However, Ajie, who thought he would be displeased, nodded as if he understood.
“but. He must have challenged me because he has such a secret. “It was so lame to ask you to reveal that.”
Atjie said that and looked at me.
In fact, it seems like the way he looks at me has become softer than before the fight.
…Agier de Roach.
Be strict with yourself more than you are strict with others.
“I lost, Frontier. “I will teach you ‘battle skills’.”
like this.
I managed to find a way to improve my fighting ability through a move that was almost like gambling.
…It’s a good thing, right?
* * *
The next day, while Edwin was walking through the Constell grounds, he heard faint whispers.
-That’s him, right?
-huh. I think that’s right.
I heard whispering a while ago, but I had no idea it was directed at me.
-I heard a first grader saved my life when I almost died?
-okay. The second son of the Roach family.
“…!”
Edwin turned his head in the direction of the sound. The students who were whispering pretended not to notice and walked away.
However, the ridicule towards him continued even after that.
‘Mr.X.’
It’s not that Edwin did anything more embarrassing than other students. He was simply taken.
Edwin, the son of a fallen nobleman, has no place in either the commoners or the nobles.
It is the most formidable opponent for commoners who have animosity toward nobles.
‘…If I activate the golem here and now.’
What will happen?
A masterpiece created by Professor Binkis through his research.
The number of students who can respond properly can be counted on one hand.
It will definitely be a cruel sea of blood.
The students nearby will not even be left in their original form, and even if they run away, each and every one of them will say
“Hey.”
“omg!”
Edwin was startled.
When he turned his head, Elin was looking at him.
“What are you doing standing still?”
“Oh no.”
Edwin barely came to his senses when he heard Elin’s voice.
‘What are you thinking now?’
What a crazy idea.
Lately, it has become difficult to control my anger.
Is it because I obtained a powerful weapon called a golem?
No, if you think about the beginning, it was when I met Frontier.
…Do you suffer from such an inferiority complex, Edwin?
“You’re on your way to eat, right? Come with me.”
“Oh yeah.”
Edwin followed Elin.
The Evans family is a commoner, but their fame skyrockets thanks to their younger brother, Aster. Behertio was a nobleman, but fell due to business failure and poor talent.
In this way, the relationship between Elin and Edwin is both close and distant.
The two have known each other since first grade.
Elin’s younger brother, Aster, is one of the few people Edwin can open up to, regardless of his existence.
“…Oh indeed.”
As she walked, Elin’s eyes sank.
I heard whispers mocking Edwin.
“That’s why you were standing like that earlier.”
“…Well, that’s right.”
Edwin honestly admitted.
“Ignore it. Things that are weak tend to do something that is weak with all their might. “I need someone to focus my anger on.”
“I need it too. “Something to pour out your anger on.”
“…Edwin.”
Elin looked at Edwin. A sunken and equally cold gaze was cast at Edwin.
A clear warning look.
“You, fallen noble, will get better.”
Then a sly voice struck Edwin’s ears. It was very bad timing.
Edwin looked away with anger in his eyes. There was a familiar face there.
Gary Clatt. He is the representative of the commoners’ group.
“Gary. “Stop arguing and go your own way.”
Elin took the initiative and spoke to Gary. Normally, she would have left it alone.
Edwin would have sorted out the situation on his own. But today Edwin is strange.
“…Gary. Is it your fault that the kids are whispering? “What did you say to the commoners’ meeting?”
“A gathering of commoners. Call me ‘Aktober’. And is it really my fault? It’s your doing. You did something pathetic. “You stupid thing.”
Gary continued to provoke Edwin.
However, Edwin soon turned his angry face somewhere else. And closed my eyes.
Gary’s eyes twitched at that sight.
That’s what Edwin always does when he gets angry.
Tsk Gary clicked his tongue.
That poor nobleman needs to know at least one thing: patience.
“Gary.”
But
for today, Edwin and Gary were on the same page.
“When do you want to die?”
* * *
A few days later.
Edwin arrived at the designated location at the designated time.
The golem was next to him. I don’t plan on using it, but I don’t know how it will turn out on the other side.
And that prediction was correct.
“Huh? “Look at this?”
Gary said in a sarcastic voice.
Gary wasn’t the only one at the meeting place. Five or six students – probably commoners – were waiting for him.
“You brought something strange to your side?”
“If you brought something strange, the same applies to those around you.”
Edwin chuckled as he looked at the students around him.
Gary shrugged.
“These guys are spectators. Because it’s too boring for just the two of us to fight. “Shouldn’t someone watch it?”
Gary’s face was full of scorn.
When Edwin decided on a location, he hoped that no one would see him as much as possible.
So, we designated an empty lot where no one would normally come.
That’s why Gary deliberately invited onlookers. I don’t even think that I will lose.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
I didn’t choose this place because I was afraid of losing. I literally just hoped that there were no ‘seeing eyes’.
Edwin took out his sword. Without a doubt, it is a real sword.
Gary also took out his sword.
“I will forgive you if you ask me to save you even now.”
“….”
Gary has never killed anyone.
I don’t have that kind of resolve.
However, swordsmanship is a method that can clearly reveal the highs and lows without killing anyone.
If you take care of it once, it will grow on its own.
The two moved at the same time.
First, Gary’s sword struck vertically, and Edwin struck the blade at an angle. At the same time, the tip of the knife was aimed at Gary’s neck.
“Ugh!”
Gary struggled to avoid it by leaning back.
Edwin’s movements were neat, as if he knew Gary’s first move.
It was actually predicted. The more stable the number, the easier it becomes to read.
Although Gary is quite skilled with a sword, he is not as good as Edwin, who received family training.
A few metallic sounds were heard, and as expected, it was Gary who was being pushed.
Edwin’s sword, which is on the offensive, prevents Gary from counterattacking.
Offense seemed to function as the best defense.
“Damn you!”
Gary threw his sword away loudly.
Kaang! Edwin’s shoulders spread and his chest opened.
‘Gap!’
Gary’s thoughts were fleeting and the sword he fired was faster than that.
‘now.’
However, the gap created is not a gap.
Edwin read Gary’s impatient sword and deliberately opened his body. I turned my back to avoid the sting that was being fired and turned around once.
At the end of this rotation is Gary’s neck. Of course, I plan to stop before that.
However,
“Wook!”
Gary’s stab was completely avoided, but Edwin was hit by something and lost his balance.
‘This is wind magic ‘house wind’…!’
There is no way Gary could use magic while fighting.
Edwin looked around. Among the students watching, several are seen extending their hands toward him and muttering something.
‘under.’
I expected it, but I felt bad.
Edwin somehow regained his balance as he stepped back.
However, while being held in check by the students, he had no talent to block Gary’s attack.
In the
end, Edwin fell down and a knife was held in his throat.
“…Mr.X.”
Gary cursed even though he won.
“Fuck you. What kind of guts did you have to come here alone? Was I really that funny? 이 개새끼가.”
“…You named your commoners’ group ‘Aktober’ and appointed yourself as its leader.”
Edwin looked at Gary.
Even though he had won, he looked down at himself and saw Gary’s face filled with humiliation.
“I thought you had that much pride. “You idiot.”
“…Know that you will be buried in Constell. He’s an asshole who starts a fight and loses to a commoner. “It would be very suitable for a fallen noble.”
“Do whatever you want.”
Edwin lowered his head.
Perhaps because my body was not healthy, my mouth became foul-mouthed.
That bastard is the same, so what?
“Fuck…”
Gary swore once more as if his anger wasn’t going away and his eyes turned to the sword Edwin was holding.
“hey. Leave that sword behind and go. “Take it and sell it.”
“Don’t touch the sword.”
Edwin growled with evil eyes.
Is that right? Gary turned his gaze to the spectators who were watching.
“hey. “Take that sword.”
The surrounding students slowly approached.
Edwin tried to stand up but was stopped again by Gary’s stabbing stab at his neck.
“Stay calm. “If you don’t want to be left behind.”
Only then does a smile appear on Gary’s face, as if he feels a little better.
‘──Ah.’
It’s so disgusting that I feel like I’m going to vomit.
What are you doing? Why am I doing this? Is there a need to stay still like this?
I tried my best to make it a fair match. Even if that didn’t happen, he still admitted defeat.
But the sword was taken away?
Behertio suddenly fell one day.
…He didn’t do anything wrong.
The common people’s backlash caused by the aristocratic power.
…It had nothing to do with him.
-Take everything out. CX things.
When Edwin reached that thought.
There was a crunching sound above his head.
“…uh?”
What came into Edwin’s field of vision was the cold arm of the golem that was holding Gary’s lower jaw and lifting it up.
Gary’s face looked like crumpled paper from the philtrum down.
‘My jawbone…’
was broken. With the power of the golem’s grip alone.
“turn off… Kkeok kkeok.”
No proper sound came out of Gary’s mouth.
Tears were flowing down as I hung helplessly in the golem’s grasp.
“What is that!”
“Run away!”
When the students saw the golem’s actions, they immediately turned their backs and ran away.
Edwin stretched out his hand without realizing it.
‘No, if you go now.’
I found out about this golem.
Also to Professor Binkis.
I just thought so.
The golem put Gary down and leapt.
With that one shot, he caught up with the students who were running away in an instant.
The sound of one-sided violence.
After a while, all the students here had collapsed, sat down, or were stuck somewhere.
And the golem stood still as if nothing had happened. It seems like he was just carrying out orders.
‘I can’t believe it…’
He’s not really dead, right?
The good news is that the golem didn’t use a spear.
That could be proof that he wasn’t killed, but Edwin wasn’t confident enough to confirm.
My hands were shaking. The trembling soon took over my entire body. I tried to get up from my slumped body, but even that wasn’t easy.
The sky, not the ground, is dizzy. The front was pitch black, as if each person was turning over once in a while.
“Golem. “Come here.”
The golem immediately stood next to him.
First of all, we need to hide this.
Even if the people here wake up and tell someone else, their persuasiveness will be reduced without the actual golem.
In this case, it’s a good thing that they are an organization called ‘Aktober’. There is a possibility that they may believe that they orchestrated it and spread false rumors.
If that happens, this incident will at best fall into the category of ‘manslaughter’.
…That was when they were all still alive.
However, if the golem is discovered, the story is different.
He took over the authority of the golem’s owner, started a fight with Gary, and used violence against the members of ‘Aktober’.
Looking at the circumstances, what he did was a completely planned crime.
‘Hurry to Professor Binkis’s lab.’
How do I get from here to the lab?
…It’s not possible.
Since you have to go through several facilities frequently used by students, the chances of being caught by anyone are slim.
‘You have to hide until night.’
Anywhere other than here.
It doesn’t matter where. Where they won’t find themselves even if they wake up.
“…let’s go.”
