Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 26 Chapter
8 Fraud
The first thing thrown was a dagger.
The next one, judging by its throwing stance, is a type of spear.
The thing he swung after getting close was probably a two-handed sword.
Elin is now watching Frontier’s fight. Over and over again.
After seeing the scene countless times, I was able to figure out the identity of Frontier’s invisible weapons one by one. I had a glimpse of the type, length, and weight of the weapon.
And last.
The sword with which Frondier cut down the golem.
Only the sword was not transparent and was clearly visible to Elin’s eyes.
Frondier didn’t even use auras, and even the cutting technique was clumsy, but he easily cut down the golem.
Most likely, the weapon itself is of a different class.
But somehow.
I think I saw it somewhere──
“Elin, Elin!”
“…!”
Elin opened her eyes. She was in class.
Giselle, a classmate, was waving her hand in front of Elin.
“What’s going on? The kid who used to sleep only while walking is now sleeping in the classroom. No, is this more normal? Should I say I’m fortunate?”
“I didn’t sleep.”
slept.
Elin, who had difficulty sleeping, surprisingly reached the stage where she could dream the dreams she wanted.
If it is a recent incident, it is even possible to recall it by looking back at the memory like now.
Anyway, Frontier is a very mysterious person.
An incompetent person who is lazy, has no desire for improvement or ambition, and whose talent is limited to that of a criminal, who only makes a name for himself in the family.
…I definitely heard that through rumors.
Rumors are inherently unreliable, but can they be this much different?
What on earth did the people who spread the rumor see in Frontier?
“How about your side?”
“…Oh, it’s okay.”
While answering Giselle, Elin looked at her side.
I’m still wearing a bandage, but the pain isn’t enough to make life uncomfortable. Of course, this is from her standards.
Although I was able to avoid the golem’s spear, it is true that I was cut quite deeply.
“I just sleep every day and recover quickly from this aspect. “Is your physical strength good or bad?”
“I walk in my sleep as a way to conserve energy.”
“Yes, yes. “I know.”
Giselle waved her hand to stop listening to Elin’s boring explanation.
Well, Elin was a little embarrassed and spoke in unison. Have we talked about this so many times?
“No matter how much it happened to my friend, I was too reckless on my own. Either call more people or tell the teacher. “I’m glad it was resolved.”
“…There was no such situation. Edwin’s condition seemed dangerous.”
Elin felt a little guilty as she spoke.
As Giselle said, the other students at Constell think that Elin solved this case alone.
In fact, I don’t know that there is another person who has contributed more than her. But Elin didn’t say that.
This was, after all, a request from Frontier, who was a person of merit.
-You don’t have to lie, but please don’t tell others that I was there that day. It gets complicated for no reason. There may also be some misunderstanding with senior Edwin.
Because he said it that way, Elin didn’t intentionally say that Frontier was there.
…Could it be that Frontier has been hiding his achievements like this until now?
…no way?
“You said I need to get the sword again?”
“huh. “I’m going to find out today.”
After fighting the golem, Elin’s sword was broken.
It was because of the technique of taking away the opponent’s weapon, ‘Nakjang’.
It is said that Ajie’s original ‘fall’ does not even leave a scratch on the opponent’s weapon.
However, the golem’s fall was so rough and rough that her sword was already tattered.
…I’m a little annoyed that I fell victim to such crude technology.
However, he has become too far removed from the blacksmith he was originally indebted to.
Both Elin and her younger brother Aster came this far to enter Constell.
So, I need to find a weapon shop or blacksmith near Constel.
Giselle smirked.
“Would you like me to go with you? Elin, for some reason, I think it would be perfect to go to change weapons and get scammed.”
“…Ugh no, it’s okay.”
Actually, I was going to ask first, but when it comes out like that, I don’t want to ask.
Yes, you have to see it with your own eyes and decide.
I’m being scammed. Who should I blame for what?
* * *
“If you have a guest sword, wouldn’t it be right to choose a companion for the rest of your life?”
“…That’s a reasonable thing to say, but”
“Isn’t that right? That’s why you have to use our sword made of non-powdered steel-”
I felt dizzy.
Elin’s eyes were spinning as the merchant’s lengthy explanation poured out to her.
At first, she was clearly examining the swords closely with her own eyes.
However, the merchant approached me quietly and recommended various weapons, and the price gradually increased until it reached this point.
I think I will be pushed by the momentum and flow and if things continue like this, I will buy this sword. And a thought secretly arises that it would be okay to buy it at this level.
In fact, the purchase has already been decided and all that remains is self-justification within her.
The perspicacious merchant noticed this and spoke with even more enthusiasm.
“How are you? A famous sword made from the highest purity loquat steel does not negotiate on price. However, if you have it, it will be a reliable companion that can protect the safety of the guest and the lives of precious people-” “
That’s the loquat?”
At that time, a voice was heard interrupting the merchant.
The merchant quickly turned his head and smiled kindly at the man who had stopped talking.
“Oh, of course. “It is steel made through a special process by obtaining ore from the ‘One Year Glacier Basteres’ in the north.”
The man was quietly looking at the sword, as if he was listening to the merchant’s explanation or not.
And Elin was a little surprised and looked at the man blankly.
The man was Frontier.
“How are you, our guests? “If you use a sword, this is perfect.”
Frondier laughed. I don’t know what was funny about what the merchant said, but Frondier said:
“It’s like looking at a cubic object and calling it a diamond.”
“…?? “What do you say?”
The merchant was dumbfounded for a moment by Frondier’s calm words, but quickly gathered his brows. Elin, who was listening, was surprised and looked at the sword again.
Does that mean this is fake?
“Why are you suddenly starting a fight? “Are you saying this is fake?”
“yes. “Let alone loquat steel, it is miscellaneous gold that has impurities mixed in and cannot be properly made into steel.”
“Now miscellaneous? hey! This young Nomu Shikya! Let’s see! Let’s see! Do you have any proof?! “Where are you talking nonsense like that?”
The merchant was furious, his anger stretching all the way to the ceiling. Even though he was listening to the sound right next to him, Frondier remained calm.
Indeed, at that level, Frontier’s Taeyeon Yayak is also worthy of respect.
Proof, Frondier peacefully muttered,
took the famous sword that was said to be so great, raised it horizontally, and slashed the front of it from top to bottom with his other hand.
Clang!
For some strange phenomenon, my hand grazed the front of the empty space of the sword, and a loud sound was heard.
And the sword was broken in two.
“Huh huh!”
The merchant stepped back in surprise.
I guess he was more surprised by the fact that he broke it with his bare hands than by the fact that the sword itself was broken. That’s how it will look to the average person.
Of course, Elin knows a little bit about his identity, but of course she keeps quiet here.
“If you promote a sword like this as a pipa steel, I don’t know, but the ‘Smished’ association won’t just ignore it.”
“I didn’t know! “I’m just a merchant who receives and introduces goods!”
“okay. You and the producers who provide you with the goods have all committed crimes. “I need to catch them all.”
“Is that possible?”
“sure. Enough in Roach’s name.”
‘Roach’. As soon as the name was mentioned, the merchant fell to his knees. The upper body was completely bent and flattened.
“sorry. It’s my personal fault. Similar promotions have yielded good returns several times in the past. “Other people don’t care.”
Even without asking, he is revealing every detail of his past crimes.
Frondier shrugged his shoulders at that and looked at Elin.
“Then what should we do?”
“…Umm me?”
“sure. “The reason I almost got scammed was because I was a senior.”
Elin’s eyes wandered, not knowing how to react.
I see, I really almost got scammed.
“Well, should I report it?”
Although she almost got scammed, Elin was ruthless when it came to crime.
She didn’t get caught up in the scam because she was weak.
It was just because I didn’t know much.
The merchant’s voice was heard sighing and despairing.
* * *
“But why are you asking for a sword? What was there originally?”
“It’s broken so I can’t use it. “Because of the golem’s fall.”
After leaving the weapon shop, the two walked down a brick road.
‘Lubagne’, an area near Constel, famous for its various shops and restaurants.
Frondier tilted his head while eating Louvanne’s famous ‘double-egg egg bread.’
“On the cliff…?”
“huh. “I guess what the golem did wasn’t a proper fall.”
At those words, Frontier seemed to be thinking about something.
I see, the unfinished fall will damage the opponent’s weapon. I heard such a murmur.
“you? You also lost your weapon in the fall. “I caught it again.”
Elin recalled the weapon Frontier showed her last time.
If you think about it, it was strange. The weapon must have been damaged due to the fall, but Frondier reacted as if it wasn’t like that at all.
“Ah… mine was in bad condition from the beginning. “After that incident, it became more damaged, so I did something about it, but I didn’t know it was because of the fall.”
It took a while for Frontier to come up with a plausible answer.
Elin remembered the shape of the sword.
Actually, the design and casting method looked old.
…The more I think about it, the more it looks like a sword I’ve seen before somewhere.
“But it’s better to leave it to a trustworthy blacksmith rather than stopping by a black weapon shop.”
“It used to be like that, but since I came to Constel, I don’t have those connections.”
Elin spoke calmly, but when the situation reached this point, she realized that she was in a more difficult position than she thought.
Her situation must be similar to that of her younger brother, Aster.
Unless we find some solution.
“Then shall I introduce you?”
Then Frontier spoke.
“Do you know a blacksmith?”
“yes. Oh, it’s not an introduction. “Because we are not friends.”
Frondier made a strange noise.
“You know a blacksmith, but you’re not acquainted with him?”
“Well, there are circumstances that are too difficult to talk about. But he is truly trustworthy.”
Elin thought for a moment. But the worries did not last long. I decided to trust Frontier.
If you don’t do that in the first place, you might get scammed again. Frontier, who just caught the fraud, is much better.
“Then don’t be shameful.”
“What.”
Frontier answered briefly. As if it really wasn’t a big deal.
Elin looked at Frondier’s side face for a moment.
Frontier’s face is clearly drowsy. He also looked sleepy.
If you had seen me sleeping with your own eyes, would I have looked like this? Elin suddenly thought.
“…Frondier.”
“yes.”
“Why are you helping me?”
“….”
“Why, like last time and again this time?”
Elin had asked before. Why did you save me? Just before Frondier collapsed, he looked at Elin and said, ‘A person who should not die.’
I’m not sure what that means.
If you simply think one-dimensionally, you end up with very childish thoughts.
The favor that Frondier is showing me may be-
“…Senior Elin,”
Frondier began. He looked at Elin quietly and seemed to be contemplating what to say.
Even the gap in the worries was as if Frontier had made Elin
“like a child who had been released into the water.”
“…what?”
“You have sleepwalking skills.”
“…No, that’s not sleepwalking, it’s a sleeping method created to preserve energy in case of an emergency.”
“I almost got scammed a little while ago.”
“I have nothing to say about that.”
Frondier laughed at Elin’s honest admission.
“There are not many people I worry about. “Everyone just worries about me.”
Come to think of it, I wonder if that human sloth Frontier is worried about me.
Constel: Am I the most skilled swordsman in the world?
…It’s kind of humiliating.
“That worry is an illusion. “I didn’t experience anything like this before, so I’ll get used to it quickly. Even when I walk and sleep, if something dangerous happens, I wake up on my own, and I’m more alert than I thought.”
“A wise saying is something to use in times like this.”
Frondier answered playfully.
That was clearly a return to the answer Elin had given to the merchant earlier.
…No, wait?
then?
“…How long have you been watching? Me talking to that merchant.”
“From the moment the merchant asked, ‘Sir, that sword is good, but how about this one here?’”
It’s almost the first time.
“So you were watching me get involved with that person the whole time?”
“Ah, then I will contact you separately regarding the blacksmith.”
“Are you not answering properly?”
