Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 37
Chapter 10 The Empress’s Eyes (3)
I looked at the text for a while and
then put my phone away.
…It’s on hold for now.
Fili Terst is not someone you should deal with without any preparation.
To be honest, Fili Terst is difficult to deal with.
His appearance and way of speaking make it seem like he has no idea about the world where the imperial palace’s dirty secret medicine comes and goes.
Not like that.
Fili is the most ‘qualified’ person for the imperial palace.
Fili is a character who actively participates in the politics and governance of the imperial palace even though she is a woman.
The foundation is suspicion about everything.
Within the imperial palace, she is perceived as ‘a wise woman with outstanding wit and wit.’
This is because when the imperial palace is involved in dangerous matters, more than one case has been resolved through her hands.
But the reality is different.
Philly didn’t solve the problem with wit or anything like that.
I knew it from the beginning.
It wasn’t like I had a brilliant idea, I just guessed what was going to happen and responded in the most efficient way.
The royal family has many enemies. Even within the imperial palace.
Therefore, if you look too perfect, it is easy to be hated.
Knowing that, Philly takes action ‘a little late’.
That is what other people see as wit and wit.
Once you find out Fili’s true identity, all praise for her will disappear.
Because they are not people who can be dared to ‘praise’.
“…and this.”
Elodie held something out to me.
I received it without thinking, but it was a short hexagonal pillar.
There was a lens stuck in the middle.
…What is this?
“what’s this?”
I asked exactly what I thought.
“It’s a Whizzergram.”
“Weezergram?”
“It is a magical product that can record a short period of time and levitate the recorded scene in the air. Good for learning combat skills or weapon skills. “You can see it from various angles.”
I looked around Weezergram.
If you listen to the explanation, it seems like a hologram projector.
“Is this what you wanted to give me last time?”
You said you made a promise to me.
I heard there is an artifact to give.
“okay. “You’re so lazy, just watch this and practice.”
Well, it’s a grateful gift.
‘If I have this, I might be able to acquire the ‘Leader’.’
Even so, I’ve been learning close combat from Ajie on a regular basis lately.
If you ask, they’ll allow you to record at least.
“And have you finished reviewing?”
Elodie asked.
I nodded, knowing the intent of the question.
But instead, Sybel was tilting her head blankly.
“review? What review?”
I smiled bitterly.
In fact, this information may not be that important if it is limited to Cybel.
Elodie answered sincerely.
“We have midterm exams soon.”
* * *
Constel’s midterm exam consists of written and practical exams.
Since it is a place to train combatants, more emphasis is placed on practical skills.
However, this does not mean that handwriting can be ignored. The difference in proportion is not that big.
Be in the top 10 in overall performance at Constel.
The first hurdle to clear this assignment given by Ampere is the midterm exam.
But I’m not worried about taking notes.
Because I pasted everything I learned during class into the workshop.
There is a cheat sheet that will never be discovered.
‘As expected, the problem is practical skills.’
The practical experience is similar to the joint missions I did previously.
All you have to do is perform the assigned mission in the field.
However, this time it is only a solo exhibition.
Through training, ‘Throwing (Dagger)’ was raised to intermediate level, and through sparring with Ajie, ‘Dual Sword (Dagger)’ skill was also acquired to low level.
Now, by Constel’s standards, he is not completely incompetent, but just a sloppy student.
…I feel like crying.
‘Because weaving and menosorpo are difficult to use.’
After all, learning Nakjang from Ajie would be of great help.
──When I thought about it, it was in front of the classroom.
For some reason, it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve been here.
There was also the incident at the cabin and the time in the hospital.
Okay, let’s do our best to not be noticed today.
Suddenly,
I opened the classroom door.
Well, as expected, no students pay attention to me.
I sat down today, satisfied.
When the time came, Teacher Jane came in.
But today, his face was stiff.
“…You know, right?”
What.
“Oh, what about today? “Before we start class, I have something to tell you.”
Jane was even stuttering for words.
He’s smiling, but his face looks extremely awkward.
“There was a new student in our class.”
The classroom became noisy at those words.
The students exclaimed in exclamation and asked various questions to Jane.
However, most students’ thoughts are, ‘A transfer student at this time?’
Midterm exams are just around the corner, so what should a transfer student do?
I had similar thoughts, but something came to mind.
I’m sure a transfer student comes around this time… but there’s no way he’s coming here.
“Now come in. “Miss Aten.”
At Jane’s signal, the front door of the classroom opened and a person slowly walked in.
The hair color was pure white and shiny.
It glows as if the ice had broken and fallen on it.
Even his eyebrows, eyes, and skin were pure white.
The facial features contained in the small face are natural, neat, and pretty, as if they were where they should be.
Every time I blinked, my white eyes became clear, as if summoning winter.
“──Hello.”
Even his voice is clean and cold, as if it were carved from ice.
I saw a female student greeting me with a bewildered expression.
It was exactly the student I remembered.
And he was someone who should never have come ‘here’.
“It’s called Aten Terst. nice to meet you.”
The 3rd princess of the Terst Empire.
Empress Fili Terst’s third daughter has transferred to school.
I knew it.
Because it’s one of the major events.
Around this time, I knew that Aten Terst was transferring.
But not here.
‘I have to go to Aster’s classroom!’
Why would I know?
Because I actually saw it by playing with Aster.
Aten later becomes Aster’s important colleague.
A very important character who sometimes becomes a heroine as the game progresses.
But he came to my class.
There is no one named Dragon in this class.
It’s a place where I, a horse race character called ‘Human Sloth Frontier’, am the only one there.
Jane said, still with a firm smile.
“As you all know, Miss Aten is the third daughter of His Majesty Emperor Terst. But here, don’t worry about that, everyone is friendly…?”
Teacher, you care too much.
The tone is like an elementary school teacher comforting children.
That’s right.
No matter how much Constell says there is no distinction between nobles and commoners, the royal family is a different story.
She is not a cousin or maternal relative, but the daughter of the emperor.
Even if you know Constel’s doctrine, it is not easy to deal with it.
All the students were dumbfounded and couldn’t say anything.
‘…?’
But why?
Somehow I feel like Aten is looking at me.
I wish we had just made eye contact for a moment while looking around at several people, but since we came in here and found myself, we have been making eye contact.
[See you soon.]
…Fili’s text comes to mind.
No, probably not.
Even though Philly is a quick-acting and politically skilled person, why would he try to get his daughter in contact with me just for the sake of a quiz?
Haha, no way.
“Then where shall we sit? “Are there any empty seats?”
At Jane’s words, Aten immediately pointed his finger.
“Can I sit over there?”
It was there next to me.
Aten said without raising an eyebrow.
“I like the window.”

‘Frondier de Roach.’
Aten thought.
Originally, I was planning to transfer to Constel.
However, there was no schedule until class assignment.
But just yesterday, my mother, Philly, said:
“Aten, are you going to go to the class where Frontier is?”
“Who is that?”
“Frondier de Roach. In Constel, it is famous as ‘Human Sloth Frontier.’”
“…I don’t think it’s a good nickname.”
Fili simply responded to those words with a smile.
…When a mother smiles like that, there is a high probability that it means positivity.
“When you go, be friendly with everyone in your class. Even with Frontier.”
“…Are you telling me to set up other students as a smokescreen so that my approach to Frontier won’t be noticed?”
“Ahh! “Aten, Mom didn’t say that.”
But that’s what I mean.
Aten sighed.
Even when my mother talks to me, she hides her feelings and talks back.
My habits in politics are affecting my daughter, so I don’t know what to do.
“What do I need to know?”
“Dragon Heart.”
Aten raised a finger.
“Find out everything Frontier knows about Dragon Heart.”
“Dragon Heart…? “A student named Frontier knows about him?”
“Yes, she solved the quiz.”
Aten’s sigh deepens.
I don’t know what it is, but you used a strange trick behind my back again.
“Ah, you’re not thinking bad things about your mom again, are you?”
“No, that can’t be possible.”
“right? “After all, our daughter.”
“I don’t know what it is, but people are saying that you used a strange trick behind my back again.”
“Aten! Being too honest can be hurtful! Really, Aten was so cute when she was like this, but now-”
After that, Fili complained about all kinds of things towards Aten, but I just brushed it off and don’t remember it anymore.
During class, Aten glanced at Frontier.
‘…Hmm, you look really sleepy.’
It’s a drowsy face.
I used to think that way when I looked at my mother, Philly, but Frontier feels a little different.
Frontier’s drowsiness smells of something dangerous.
I don’t know what he’s thinking, and I barely get the impression that he’s good or bad.
Basically, a poker face and a languid look make you feel relaxed.
‘If I had some skills here, I might have been scared if I became an enemy.’
However, from what I heard, he is lazy and incompetent.
It’s not something to worry about, though.
‘It’s not doing anything.’
I heard that Frontier always sleeps during class, but he is awake.
Was it some old information?
But I just stay awake and do nothing.
I feel like I’m looking at the blackboard and the teacher, but I’m not taking notes or checking my books.
‘Was it really true that I was lazy?’
Did I make progress just by not sleeping?
‘Okay then.’
From now on, I need to get closer to Frontier and get information from him.
Aten recalled what his mother said.
“They say Frontier de Roach is not popular because of its low reputation. “I’ve never had a girlfriend before.”
“…So?”
“So, if my daughter nudges me just a little bit, she’ll get over it in no time. Our daughter is a beauty recognized even in the imperial palace. A boy who is not immune to women is a piece of cake for my daughter!”
hmm.
I see. Just give it a little touch.
Recalling Fili’s words, Aten waited until class was over.
Break time after class.
Now all you have to do is tap the frontier to make it jump to you.
…however.
Aten remained in a sitting position throughout the break.
Just blink occasionally.
Even though she was so white and had an outstanding appearance, she really looked like a doll.
It was so strange that Frondier looked at her.
Aten was now wasting precious time approaching Frondier for the first time, but there was a reason beyond his control.
Because she is thinking very profound thoughts right now.
‘…How do you do it with just a little touch?’
Unfortunately.
Aten also had no lover until now.
