The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 395

Chapter 115: Atlas (3)

Frondier and Elodie are newly appointed to Atlas.

After the self-introduction on the first day of school, the long-awaited first class began.

As expected from many students, Elodie showed off her excellent magic skills in the lab.

For her, who aimed to combine four elements, most of the technical problems with magic were easy. She was adept at giving demonstrations and comparing practical situations from a wizard’s perspective.

However, because my talent was so outstanding, I often did not know why students were having difficulty with the parts they were having difficulty with, and I was still immature in how to deal with such situations.

However, I tried to understand the difficulties students felt by repeating and implementing it several times. As a result, although progress was slightly slower, Elodie’s teaching skills improved.

As class ended, Elodie thought.

‘As Frontier said, the battle is a bit old-fashioned.’

For Elodie, there was something that touched me even more because she was in charge of the practical work. The roles of wizards were very fixed here.

In the Atlas, wizards are the last line of defense, positioned behind archers. That’s why wizards take it for granted that someone is protecting them.

Of course, it’s not fundamentally wrong, but the wizards here are too relaxed despite assuming a battle situation where you don’t know what will happen at any time. As if there was a wall in front of him that would surely never be broken through.

‘First graders would understand.’

The students Elodie teaches now are in the third grade. Elodie, who was a third grader not long ago, felt the difference in skills between the two continents was stark.

Elodie is a wizard who can fight on her own. The magic barrier that protects her body is so skilled that it can be completed within one second, and most attacks cannot penetrate her barrier. Even if that’s not the case, I’m used to casting at high speeds.

Of course, Elodie does not expect this level from other students. However, even Runia, who was called a pure magician in Constell, was naturally prepared for the case where there was no vanguard.

However, there is no such contrast here. Wizards are relaxed, cautious, and do not move from place to place.

‘Should I fix this?’

Elodie thought for a moment. It’s probably similar to Frontier’s concerns.

This is because Frontier does not want to stand out, but in Elodie’s case, she is concerned about some inconvenience and friction with existing teachers.

“teacher.”

At that time, a male student approached her.

“Can I ask you one more time about what you showed me earlier?”

“huh? okay.”

Elodie spoke and looked at the male student.

‘Was it Basileo…?’

Elodie learned the students’ names in advance. Most people can remember their names by looking at their faces.

In this class, she showed and taught one magic according to the curriculum. The name of the magic is ‘Jippungsi’. It is similar to ‘Storm Poetry’, which Elodie often uses, but is a lower level wind magic.

Elodie explained by embodying the house style.

“For this magic, it is quick to construct the technique while aiming the bow, but if that is not possible, you can complete the magic first and then draw the bow. Until you can complete the technique without having to look at it,”

“…Sir.”

Basileo, who was quietly watching Elodie’s magic, said.

“The book and the technique are different.”

“Uh, huh?”

“How did you do it?”

Basileo looked at Elodie with sparkling eyes.

Elodie was embarrassed.

‘Ugh, without even realizing it.’

For a magician, a magic trick is a law that must be fixed without wavering when completing magic.

To use an analogy, when calculating a large number of numbers, the memory of numbers that appear at the beginning or numbers that are difficult to memorize becomes blurry as you go back. Therefore, since it is difficult to solve using mental calculations alone, it is best to write it down in advance.

In magic, this note is a spell.

Just as there is no need to write down numbers no matter how difficult they are if you can mentally calculate them, magicians omit some of the magic.

──This was common sense in the Terst Empire.

‘Because I think it’s natural that here, all the techniques are concocted right before your eyes.’

It seemed to Elodie that Agoris valued accuracy rather than the speed of magic. The perception that no matter how long it takes, all you have to do is succeed. Therefore, progress toward simplification and efficient composition of techniques is slow.

“Uhm, this is it. “It’s about simplifying the technique.”

First, Elodie tried to explain. It’s not like this concept doesn’t exist at all.

But as Elodie expected, a question arose that she could not answer.

“How do you simplify it?”

Ugh. Elodie swallowed her voice internally.

In fact, methods of simplification already exist in theory. However, Elodie did not follow the theory. Because it was already possible.

“Oh, well. Since class time is up, shall we talk about it in the next class? No, ask the teachers who teach magic theory. “I’m sure you’ll explain it much more kindly than I can.”

“Magic theory…”

Basileo, who became sullen at Elodie’s words, spoke with somewhat cold eyes.

“…Mr. Frontier?”

“huh? Oh, well, can I ask that teacher?”

“Teacher, did you originally know Teacher Frontier?”

Basileo asked with eyes full of suspicion.

Elodie responded with a flawless smile.

“huh? no? “It’s my first time seeing you here.”

“…really?”

“then.”

Elodie’s acting was perfect. However, the look of suspicion that never goes away.

Elodie thought as she looked at Basileo.

‘Ah, this.’

The fact that Elodie and Frondier behave as if they are strangers is their own problem, but it is good for the students no matter what.

Even if we had known each other from the beginning, what would be different for the students? Some acquaintances came to Atlas as teachers, that’s it.

But when you look at Basileo’s eyes, expression, and tone of voice.

“…All right. “Thank you for the class.”

Basileo bowed his head politely and walked away.

As Basileo’s figure disappears, Elodie lets out a small sigh.

“…There are men who are easy to understand like that.”

* * *

Frondier was still thinking.

It was like that even during the first class.

He was currently teaching a class no different from other teachers, copying the class materials onto the blackboard.

The students, who had high expectations when they first heard about his appearance and that he had designed a three-dimensional map, soon looked at the blackboard with disappointed eyes.

Well, that’s the case with all theory classes. There is no way the class will change just because the teacher changes.

‘I wonder if it’s right to do it this way.’

Frontier thought while teaching class.

He knew that this continent was very lacking in magic theory. As for knowledge, I have already thought about how to teach it.

However, there were two things that made it impossible to proceed easily.

One is that, as initially thought, there is nothing good about him standing out. The reason I came to Atlas in the first place was to research other gods and Hercules, and I had no intention of putting all my effort into teaching.

And another thing was because Frondier himself had not learned any magic.

‘Now this class material can be done just by speaking, so there is no need to show magic. It seems like there are other teachers besides me who teach theory without using magic.’

Of course, if you learn at least one or two basic spells, you will quickly master them. Frontier, which has quite a few theories in its workshop, still has magic that can be imitated if one wants to. I haven’t tried it yet.

However, in order to move forward in the improved direction that Frondier thinks, it will be less persuasive if he himself cannot do magic.

‘For now, let’s take it easy and think about it. “I’m changing the course of the class, even if it’s later,”

“Teacher.”

Then someone raised their hand.

Frondier stood up without even answering.

Frondier said while looking at him.

“Yes, Basile. “What’s going on?”

Basileo was a little surprised that Frondier said his name straight away without even pretending to remember, but he tried to hide it.

“I have a question.”

“Yes, what is it?”

Basileo raised both hands at Frondier’s words. He soon began advocating magic.

“I will take the wind into my hands….”

A sudden magic chant. The students around him were surprised to see Basileo, but Frondier watched in silence.

Soon Basileo completes the spell and unleashes it.

“Jippungsi!”

Then, an arrow of wind was created connecting his hands in one line.

Frondier thought.

‘Chanting, magic, and even starting words. It’s truly a textbook manifestation.’

Any teacher would praise the magic that Basileo perfected.

And Frontier is a teacher now.

“That’s great. “It is a home-style poem of wonderful perfection.”

Of course I praise him. for now.

“And the question is about him?”

“yes.”

Basileo nodded.

Frondier’s eyes slightly lowered.

‘It’s magic that has nothing to do with the magic theory I’m currently teaching. Magic that is separate from the course content. There…’

Basileo says while thinking.

“Is there a way to simplify this magic?”

‘…A question that seems to be testing me.’

Frondier thought for a moment.

I am under suspicion. I don’t know why, but it’s definitely true.

So what is being suspected? Skills as a teacher? Or the original purpose? Or did you receive any kind of advice due to your divine powers? Is God interfering with him again?

Since neither side could be sure, Frondier decided to try to allay any doubts. If he doesn’t give the right answer here, other students will doubt him.

“Simplify.”

Frondier briefly saw the house wind poem completed by Basileo, and

completed it with the trait ‘Weaving’, which allows the same thing to be copied while the other party is casting it.

“You mean like this?”

“…!”

In Frontier’s hands, something identical to what Basileo created is born.

Not only Basileo but all the students looked at the scene in amazement.

“Soo-sulsik…!”

“It’s not just a magic trick, there’s no chanting or starting words!”

“At almost the same speed as drawing mana!”

A classroom that quickly becomes noisy.

Basile, in particular, was shocked and trembled at the sight before his eyes.

“Oh, how, at that speed…”

Basileo saw the style poem created by Elodie right in front of him.

She also completed it much faster than Basileo, but what Frontier showed just now was not at that level.

A level that far exceeds the speed of his magic, as if it was completed by pressing a single button.

“That’s nonsense, I didn’t see any magic…”

And while he was overly panicking, his windshield was noticeably shaken. Basileo forgot that he was still working on his magic.

‘Eek.’

Frondier released his black cloth at the sight.

“Ah, ah!”

Only then did Basile realize the danger and try to control the magic, but it was too late.

Shoo!

His arrow shoots into the classroom. Although it is slower than Elodie, it is textbook-style wind magic. Of course, the power is enough, needless to say. This is not a spell that can be fired inside a classroom.

“Hi!”

An arrow of wind fired into a group of students. They were unprepared.

One,

woe!

Black waves fill before them. The waves cover the shot windshield and form a sphere.

Pow!

A sound like an arrow exploding could be heard inside, but the black sphere completely silenced the magic without any leaks.

Whoosh—

And then they dispersed again, returning to the place they had flown from, Frontier.

The students looked at the scene blankly.

The arrow that Basileo shot was covered in something, lost its power, and disappeared. It was a pitch-black liquid, then a solid, and then returned to a liquid again and was recovered by Frondier. Of course, it was something I had never seen before.

Am I also magic? Can there be such a thing as magic that can be manipulated so freely?

While everyone was dazed, Frondier spoke.

“Student Basileo.”

“….”

“Basileo.”

“Yes, yes!”

Only after being called twice did Basile come to his senses and answer. Especially when it was called the second time, the voice was incredibly scary.

However, Frondier has returned to his usual voice and speaking style.

“What did you do wrong?Tell me.”

Frondier ended up asking one of the three most difficult questions in the world to answer.
