The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 227
Chapter 73: Convocation (4)
Monty bit his lip after hearing Pascal’s words.
“What I wanted to test was his fighting skills. I don’t know what level of skill Frontier was, but I heard that he hit and fought, and I wanted to check what his movements were based on. “But I can’t confirm it until I hear that.”
“No matter what you try, you will learn it.”
“Let’s get out of here first. “I don’t want to give that monster any more learning materials than this.”
At Pascal’s words, the three retreated from the prison and out of the monster’s sight.
“Are you going?”
The remaining guard asked in a frightened voice.
I couldn’t be at peace with the fact that my appearance was constantly changing before my eyes and I was also learning.
Monty said as if to reassure him.
“Okay. “You won’t be able to get out of prison with what you learned now.”
“We’ll go back and report the situation to the other Zodiacs. Did you say Pascal? “What do you want to do?”
When Daisy asked, Pascal thought for a moment and then answered.
“I need to contact the students first. “You might come to the palace without knowing the situation here yet.”
“students…? Oh, I see.”
Daisy nodded, remembering that Pascal was an imperial knight and Constell’s teacher.
“Is Frontier the only student of Constell here now?”
“no. Princess Aten is also Constell’s student.”
“Then just those two?”
Monty asked again.
“Yes, it is, but…?”
What is it? Monty shook his head at Pascal’s omission of the next question.
“No, no.”
Even as Monty said that, his suspicious eyes still remained.
“I thought it was very official.”
* * *
Daisy and Monty returned to the Emperor’s quarters and informed Zodiac and Frondier of the situation.
A monster with faster learning ability than expected. After hearing that, the Zodiacs’ expressions hardened.
“…Hey Frondier.”
Ludovic opened his mouth.
“yes.”
“The reason we are guarding this place now is to prepare for the second attack of the enemy who sent that monster.”
“That’s right.”
“Is there really such a ridiculous monster again?”
Frontier answered Ludovic’s question.
“I do not know. However, from my perspective in dealing with that monster, there were too many loopholes to see that it was the only way to kill His Majesty.”
Only Frondier was able to notice and stop the monster right before it attacked His Majesty.
But even if he didn’t block it, there were many clumsy aspects to his attack.
“At the time, he was awkward even holding his own. There was little learning, and the only means of attack was to turn its hands into claws. Even if I couldn’t stop it, it would have been difficult to harm Your Majesty.”
Of course, the claws of the first attack may have reached the emperor, but there is no guarantee that it will take his life.
There is no way to take such a gamble in an attack where you give up all of your cards.
“That means the enemy still has more cards left. “One of the possibilities is that there may be other monsters like that.”
I don’t know if there will be a second version of the konjac monster or not.
However, the enemy must have been aware of the possibility that the konjac monster would become a ‘castaway’. Therefore, there is a high possibility that there are other cards that are comparable or more effective.
“By the way.”
Then someone raised their hand.
Lia Lis Lili spoke in a soft tone.
“Even if we expected that the attack would fail, wouldn’t we have expected that we would be caught?”
“What do you mean?”
“No, look. Frontier is the only one who can find that monster, right? “Then, if it weren’t for Frontier, even if the operation failed, escape would have been almost certain.”
Lili spoke as if she had a strangely high opinion of Frondier. Frondier’s tone was a little ominous, but he didn’t say anything wrong, so he stayed silent.
“No one knew that Frontier had such detection capabilities, but did the enemy know about it? “That’s strange.”
“…I expected failure, but being caught wasn’t my intention?”
“That’s what I think.”
Lily said everything and finally took a step back. Making decisions, good or bad, was not her temperament.
“how is it? Frontier? “Wasn’t that a pretty good insight?”
Rather, Lili looked at Frondier and asked in a charming voice. It was almost as if the right to speak was spoon-fed to them.
Frondier said with a wry smile.
“I see. “I hadn’t thought about that part.”
“Right, right?”
Of course, Frontier was considering that, but he said so first.
Following Frondier’s wishes, Lily smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
Frontier’s eyes stayed low.
“It bothers me that the monster was ‘unfinished.’”
“incomplete?”
“If it were said to be capable of ‘high-speed learning’ as the two people who reported it to me said, I wouldn’t have used it this way if I were an enemy.”
“…Oh, I see!”
Rodvik, who was listening, made a sound.
“Yes, I would have taught you first and then conducted a surprise attack!”
“That’s right. “At least he wouldn’t have been sent away with only the ability to hold his own.”
“But the enemy sent that monster in an unfinished state. That means,”
Rodvik continued, excitedly, then added, “That is?” I said to myself and tilted my head. Beyond that, his thoughts seem to be unorganized.
“There was a reason why it had to be that way. Either that monster has a fatal weakness or it doesn’t listen to orders.”
“…Or,”
Frondier said.
“The enemy may be in as much trouble as we are right now.”
* * *
Time passed and it was late at night.
No one was allowed to approach the bars that contained the monster. The guard who was watching was also placed in the inner room so that he could check through the window and made sure that no one came into view of the monster.
A monster that learns everything it sees. It was a response to that. Thanks to this, the monster was now just blankly looking at Pascal’s face and body, which it had imitated for the last time.
“…Learning to imitate an Auror…”
However, the quietly muttered pronunciation gradually became clearer and clearer. The monster worked hard to combine the insufficient information it had heard so far to figure out the meaning and usage of words.
“…I….”
A quiet voice wanders in the darkness.
“What am I?”
Questions that cannot reach anyone are scattered in the chill of the late night.
I guess so.
Thump-
“You are a disaster.”
Someone’s leisurely footsteps echoed inside the prison.
He was a tall man. His hair was as long as his height, and his skin was pale. Mi-hyung’s facial features were particularly notable for her sharp nose.
The monster muttered while looking at the man blankly.
“…disaster.”
“okay. “It should have been that way.”
Hearing the voice, the guard hurried out.
“Who are you?”
The guard drew his sword and pointed it at the unfamiliar man who suddenly appeared.
“This is a place where a trespassing order has been issued! “Nobody can come in!”
“…Tsk.”
The strange man clicked his tongue and waved his hand toward the guard.
The aurors stretched out in the same diagonal path and rushed towards the guard.
“How dare you tell me the rules of this place… huh?”
The man didn’t even look at the guard after firing off the aura, but something was strange.
Of course, the jailer, who should have been cut into pieces in the shape of an Auror, was standing unharmed.
There wasn’t even a wound, let alone a cut.
“…It’s the rule here.”
The guard’s mood suddenly changed and he put his hand to his face.
The skin on his face had been removed as a mask, and a completely different person was standing there dressed in a jailer’s uniform.
“It sounds like you’re not from here.”
“…!”
The man dressed as a jailer was Ajie.
Atjie briefly saw his mask removed.
“…That guy is well prepared.”
The man frowned at that self-talk.
“What are you?”
Hiss!
This time, Ajie’s sword was extended. It was a sword wind filled with aura.
Wow!
The man spread his palm to block the auror. Atjie’s eyes narrowed at that sight.
‘I stopped it with my bare hands without using aurors. ‘You’re not human.’
The acrobatics of shooting an aura with one’s fingers without carrying any weapon or the strength of the body blocking the aura’s sword wind with the palm of one’s hand.
Both are feats that cannot be performed by humans.
“That’s what I’m asking. “Where did you come from?”
The man laughed at Ajie’s words.
“I blocked it with my bare hands so that you could feel the gap, but even after seeing this, you’re still spouting such arrogant remarks. “Something like humans.”
“indeed.”
Ajie lowered his sword. The tip of the sword, glowing with a subtle aura, touched the ground.
“I am not a human, I am a thing. “You make that sound too long.”
“dare!”
The man shouted, spreading his hands and shooting out an aura. There were no other weapons on his body. The hand itself seems to be his weapon.
‘I may have accidentally avoided it a while ago, but it won’t work this time.’
The man confirmed that the Auror blade created by his ten fingers filled all sides of Ajie.
The man didn’t know.
Just as there was a violent sound when he blocked the auror, his auror should make a certain sound when it touches Ajie.
Why was it so quiet?
‘They said it was a learning monster.’
Even as the high-speed aura was flying towards him, Ajie momentarily rolled his eyes and looked at the monster.
‘We’d better get it over with quickly.’
Roach Swordsmanship
Ajie’s Original Imaginary
Falling
Blade The moment Ajie lifted the tip of his sword and touched dozens of aurors,
the aurors lost all energy, fell, and disappeared.
“her…?”
How to put all those aurors to sleep and in what order they were touched were so complicated that the man had no way of knowing.
“It’s a gap.”
Atjie looked at the man with his usual expression, as he always did.
“Can you show me that later? “I’m busy right now.”
“…You insolent bastard!”
The man’s aura exploded. He ran wild inside the imperial palace without even considering that he would be caught.
The amount of aurors clearly exceeded that of Ajie. Probably a huge amount of aura that goes beyond Ampere.
However, Ajie’s expression did not waver one bit.
“There really are a lot of Aurors.”
Atjie just took a stance and looked indifferently at the angry man who was still holding his sword without even taking out his favorite spear.
“It will be a good match against my younger brother.”
