The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 231
Chapter 74 Demon (4)
After Frondier leaves the room.
“Did you all see it?”
Lily said, looking around with sparkling eyes.
“I kind of liked it when I first saw it, but now I’m more confident.”
Lily said and declared.
“He’s mine!”
“Riri. “As I said before, that man is Ampere’s son.”
The man who advised Lili was Medart de Thebene, the oldest of the current Zodiac. Medart is about the same age as Heldre, who is no longer dead.
“That doesn’t matter anymore. I’ll have him. “Don’t let anyone stop you!”
Lily seemed determined. The surrounding Zodiacs sighed and shook their heads.
But one person in the meantime.
“No, that won’t work.”
Monty stepped forward and spoke to Lily.
“I will raise that guy.”
“what?”
“He’s a good guy. “Even though he’s in front of us, he’s not scared at all and has a good head.”
“You’re laughing! What do you grow? “I’m taking you with me?”
“Did you say you’re in your second year now? As soon as I graduate… no. It’s a waste of time. Working under me will be more helpful in the future than at an educational institution like that. “I think we should proceed right away.”
“hey! Are you listening!”
I wasn’t listening.
Monty was already thinking about how to grow Frontier regardless of Lili’s declaration.
Of course, both decisions were made without considering Frontier’s opinion at all.
“…It was an amazing technique.”
“that’s right.”
Daisy and Ludovic, who were watching the argument between the two, spoke.
“If my eyes are not wrong, what Frontier created is definitely a ‘magic circle’.”
“Frondier was here as soon as it happened. Because I had to protect the emperor. So there was no time to draw a magic circle. “It makes even less sense to know that an incident would happen and draw it in advance.”
“In other words, the magic circle was made to appear ‘without drawing’ it.”
Ludovic sighed as Daisy cleaned up.
“What a ridiculous guy.”
“Besides, after manifesting that magic circle, isn’t it possible to create a pencil and paper in the air? “Why don’t you show me writing your name on a floating piece of paper without lifting a finger?”
“It was kind of a warning. “A warning like that, if I want to, I can always make a weapon behind my back and stab you at any time.”
“Ahaha. That seems like a bit of a stretch. Well, it’s not impossible.”
Daisy laughed first and Ludovic followed suit, but their tension still did not improve.
The reason was clear.
“That’s not the only surprising thing.”
Medart, who had been giving advice to Lili, said.
“Look at this.”
The point that Medart pointed with his finger.
There, although invisible to the eye, a cylinder made of mana stretched vertically from the floor to the ceiling. It is large enough for one person to fit comfortably.
The identity was obvious.
“I ‘shrinked’ the magic circle I created and left it behind.”
“…You don’t have to draw it, so you can adjust the size after making it. “It’s a ridiculous idea.”
“Looking at the symbols and arrangement, it’s so crowded that I don’t even know what’s what. A person cannot draw such detailed and thin lines. This is a completely pure line of mana.”
The Zodiacs observed the magic circle of ‘Menosorpho’ that Frondier had left behind. It is a symbol that only people with excellent mana sensitivity can recognize, but it was not a problem for the Zodiacs.
“The fact that they made this small and left it here.”
“I’m saying I’ll use it later. “If I make it bigger, the enemy will find out that I created a magic circle, so I kept it this size.”
“In other words, it’s because of Ludovic.”
“Ugh.”
Ludovic fell silent at Daisy’s painful words.
Certainly, if Ludovic had not told him to ‘prove it’, there would have been no need for Frondier to unfold this magic circle in advance.
“…Or maybe this also has meaning.”
Lily muttered.
“If you said you wanted to prove your strength, there would have been many other means. Since he’s such a smart kid, there might be a reason why he chose this method!”
“…It may seem like a slightly biased analysis, but it’s not without possibility.”
Monty shook his head as he looked at Lili, who seemed to have already completely become Frontier’s ally.
“Well, from what I saw, it didn’t take that long to manifest this magic circle. If you don’t want to be caught by the enemy anyway, you can use it later. “Is there a need to make it small and then expand it?”
“You were muttering something earlier, something about porn… I guess you need a starter word?”
“Even if that were the case, unless they knew this information, I don’t think the enemy would be the first to shut Frontier’s mouth.”
Hmm, everyone was lost in thought.
Before they knew it, the Zodiacs were shaking their heads as if this magic circle left behind by Frondier was some kind of ‘riddle’.
Without even realizing it, I am following the direction that that wild little boy’s footsteps are taking.
* * *
“You’ll teach me?”
“So you want to copy that technique, right? By the way, that’s called a ‘fall.’”
A monster that looks suspiciously at Frontier’s answer.
As expected, the monster was certain of something. No one can imitate Ajie’s ‘fall.’ Even the person who could be completely cloned had his right arm damaged.
But there is a second one that can use that technique.
“Now write it for me.”
Saying so, Frondier held out his sword. The blade was placed in a very good position for the monster to strike.
“….”
The monster was skeptical, but quietly held out the blade anyway. Anyway, the monster’s only desire was to acquire the sword.
“…Frondier.”
Fili called Frontier. It contained a light warning tone.
Looking at the situation, that monster is the one who tried to kill Bartello. If Frontier is playing a prank on such a monster for the sake of fun, this is a problem that cannot be ignored.
Frondier glanced at Fili briefly.
And after reading the meaning in those eyes, Fili relaxed his stern expression.
Frontier does not do anything meaningless. Fili already knew that. However, I wanted to know if that mindset still persists, and I knew enough from the look in my eyes just now.
Swoosh –
In the meantime, the monster’s blade and Frondier’s blade touched each other. It was a bit strange to see the exact same weapons crossed over. Moreover, on the outside, they were like older brother and younger brother.
“Now try it.”
“…!”
Needless to say, the monster immediately struck out.
Tap-
ta-da-da-da-da-dak!!
The blades clashed with each other noisily. The movement, which was almost like a vibration, was clearly completely different from a fall.
Even if the skill was a little lacking, there was a clear difference from the existing firewood that only made a slight sound of dry firewood at best.
More than anything.
“It’s a failure.”
Even after making such a loud noise, Frondier was still holding his sword. Of course, it was the same with monsters.
“But your arm is fine. Did you ‘learn’ that too?”
“…Ugh!”
When the confused monster tried to fall again, Frondier was faster this time.
Whick!
This time there wasn’t even a sound. However, the monster’s sword flew through the air and Frondier was still holding it.
“how is it?”
“…!”
The monster looked blankly at its empty hand, then turned its attention to the location where the sword fell when it heard a metallic sound on the floor. His gaze went back and forth between the sword and the frontier, not knowing what to do.
“You can pick it up. “I won’t do anything.”
“….”
“And don’t show such embarrassment on my brother’s face. “Because it doesn’t suit me.”
The monster must have understood what he said, so he hurriedly walked over and picked up the sword. There was a sigh from Frondier, who muttered, ‘I told you not to do that.’
“Do you understand?”
“….”
The monster didn’t respond and thrust its blade again.
High-speed learning has clearly absorbed Frontier’s recent movements. And here are some of the scenes of Nakjang that I have seen so far. If you combine them, you will definitely get the right movement—
“Before I try again.”
“…?”
But before that, Frondier pulled back his sword.
The monster’s puzzled gaze turned to Frondier.
“Do you know what your name means?”
“…?”
“name. This is what we do when we introduce ourselves to each other. “Have you ever heard of anything?”
name name. Yes.
That’s what the two in front of me gave to each other when they were fighting.
“…Azier de Roach.”
“It’s my brother’s name. “Anything else?”
“…Mizonas?”
The monster simply repeated to Frondier the name it had heard.
That alone made Frondier’s smile deepen, as if he had received the answer he wanted.
“…Hmm, I see.”
Frondier held out his sword again.
“Now one more time.”
“….”
Another attempted knock from the monster.
And fail.
Frondier pulls back his sword again.
“Now next question.”
“?”
“Anything you remember what that ‘Mizonas’ guy said.”
“…Successor of Wrath?”
“You have a good memory.”
And then the blade sticks out again.
After that, it was a repeat.
After the monster’s continued failures and failures, Frontier asks one question. When you answer that, Frondier raises his sword again.
It’s similar to training a pet dog.
At that point, of course, Fili and the imperial knights realized what Frontier was doing.
‘…They’re stealing information.’
Yes.
No matter what fight Frontier is fighting or what situation he is in.
The first principle that he considers most important and that allows him to get out of a crisis and take advantage of it.
‘But so far, it’s not important information yet.’
Of course, information such as Mizonas’s name and the fact that he is under the devil called ‘Satan’ is meaningful, but that was already heard by Ajie from Mizonas. According to Mizonas himself.
Moreover, Frondier already knows this information through Gregory’s report.
So what’s important is from here on.
“Then.”
Now the monster didn’t even notice Frondier pulling back his sword. Of course, I thought he would ask me something else.
“Do you want to kill someone?”
“….”
The monster blinked at that question. It was an expressionless expression that made it impossible to tell whether it was negative or positive. It’s not that I didn’t understand the question. It’s not like I’m trying to read the intention.
The monster was asking himself at this moment. Just to answer Frontier’s question, by simple logic.
“…?”
As a result, the monster tilted its head. is it? As if to say.
Frondier smiled at that and lowered his head for a moment.
“…Yes, that’s right. “There is something mixed in with you that is not your will.”
“….”
“Okay. Now, I think I’ve gotten pretty good at nakjang. “I will fully understand it next time I try.”
Frondier spoke and held out his sword.
…You think you can learn it? I haven’t figured it out yet?
The monster was full of doubts, but held out its sword again anyway. Data is piling up. That will definitely lead to results. If it’s his ‘fast learning’.
And when the monster touched the sword.
Tap –
The swords clashed.
“…?!”
The monster was taken aback by an unfamiliar sensation it had never felt before. I was only conscious of pulling the sword out of my hand, but I did not understand the principle of this force that pulled the two swords together as if they were glued to each other.
Of course, this is a fallout from Frontier. However, although the sword is taken, only the result of taking out the sword is omitted.
“Focus! “I’m giving you a lot of hints!”
“…!”
The monster gritted its teeth at Frondier’s shout. All my concentration was directed towards the swords that were attached to each other.
I know it instinctively. What Frontiere is doing now is the most helpful teaching to the monster. That’s why the monster was immersed, as if he was immersed.
“Now next question!”
“?!”
“What were you doing before you came here!”
“…?”
I don’t remember that. When he woke up, he was already in the imperial palace and was filled with the will to kill someone called the ‘Emperor’. Now that will has faded and disappeared.
“You were already a high-speed learner when you got here! That’s your innate ability that was functioning before this! “There’s no way you won’t remember!”
“…!”
“say! What were you before you came here? How did you get your claws and invisibility? Learning means remembering! You are not human! “All those memories will be inside you!”
A monster that can become anything, gain anything, and learn anything.
If so, all the data you absorbed will stay there. You can’t use technology while ‘forgetting’.
“Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
The monster’s frown frowned. As I tried to touch the repressed memories, my head started to hurt.
Is the reason his head hurts because he is now in a human body, or even if he isn’t, is there something called a ‘head’ somewhere in his body?
But there is one thing I am sure of.
This headache is not unfamiliar.
“say! “Who sent you here?”
“Keuuuh…!”
“Who are you? “You remember other people’s names but don’t know yours?”
“name…!”
name. I already knew what that meant before I came here.
That’s why he remembered Ajie’s name and responded to that name after transforming into Ajie.
Because I knew it was a ‘name’.
[Your name from now on is]
I can’t remember, but a familiar voice messes with my head.
“I am…! I am!!”
Whick!
The two swords flew through the air. Frondier’s monster’s sword took off in the same way and flew into the air. One got stuck in the wall and one fell to the floor.
Meanwhile, Frondier’s straight eyes saw the monster.
“…I am a disaster.”
The monster opened its mouth.
“I am a created experiment. I am the scourge of metamorphs.”
