The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 404
Chapter 117 Priest (3)
“So you came here with the intention of breaking my pride, right? Aias?”
Ajax could not answer what Pielot said and kept his mouth shut.
Of course, it was roughly the same idea.
To be precise, I just came here to start an argument because I didn’t like the transfer student receiving attention.
“…Yeah, that’s right. “I will change your foolish thoughts right now.”
“also. “That’s what an arrogant guy like me needs.”
…What on earth are you talking about?
And why are you making that face?
The purpose was to provoke, but instead the opponent stood with a sparkling look in his eyes and a strong spirit.
Did the provocation actually work too well?
Meanwhile, Pielot took a stance and spoke.
“come. “Repair my spirit from the root, Aias.”
“So what does that mean?”
Aias was embarrassed, but took his stance anyway. The goal was to win a game. clearly.
Pielot’s eyes lit up. A refreshing expression that did not suit an immature transfer student appeared on his face.
Look, senior.
After all, I am still arrogant.
I will take this opportunity to correct it very well.
‘With all my might.’
Pielot’s eyes sparkle blue.
The genius of an Auror, his qualities are displayed without filtering and fill his entire body from his toes.
‘It breaks with all its might.’
Pielot was ready to break down with all his might. He was mistreated by Aias and was fully prepared to be criticized by the students around him.
Pielot definitely has a selfish personality.
He was ready to be destroyed himself, and he had no interest in whether the other person was ready to destroy him.
“…Uh, no, wait.”
A cold sweat broke out on Ajax’s back due to Pielot’s ridiculous momentum.
Pielot said.
“Come, Aias.”
He clearly couldn’t see Ajax’s expression.
“Knock me down mercilessly.”
* * *
That evening, Frontier’s room.
Pielot was kneeling in front of Frondier. Other people were also gathered together with strange expressions on their faces.
“…So you defeated him mercilessly?”
Frondier was dumbfounded after hearing Pielot’s explanation and asked back.
Pielot said in a hushed voice.
“It wasn’t cruel. “Ajax’s posture of falling down was also cool,”
“Are you saying that?”
“I’m sorry.”
Pielot immediately canceled his words.
Frondier looked at Elodie.
“What is Ajax’s condition?”
“A clean blow to the temporal area. They say it hit so cleanly that there were almost no injuries. And he was hit so cleanly…”
“You mean he passed out as soon as he got hit and went straight to the health room?”
Aias fainted while sparring with Pielot, was taken to the health room, and woke up only after school was over. When Ajax’s family found out about this, there was a bit of an uproar.
“Was Ajax a nobleman?”
“A nobleman. That’s not an ordinary noble either. “They say it’s sad to be second among prestigious families.”
“It would be sad to be the second child… Are you saying he is of the same stature as Roach?”
When I asked with a naive interpretation, Elodie tilted her head.
“Uh, let’s make it within the top five.”
It doesn’t seem to be of that level.
Lily, who was listening, spoke.
“Pielot, who is now kneeling respectfully, was from the Libanche family. “It is said that on the Palind Continent, the Libanche family is worth a name.”
“That’s pretty awesome.”
The Libanche family was one of the most prominent families in the eastern part of the continent. This is also the biggest reason why I thought there was no way the family would have allowed Pielot to come here.
No matter how much of a nobleman he was as a teacher, there was no way he would allow his child to follow in the footsteps of someone who was labeled a devil.
If we had to compare it, it would be comparable to before the fall of Edwin’s family, Behertio.
“Who attacked first?”
“…That’s a bit ambiguous.”
“What’s ambiguous?”
“So, when the sparring started, it was Aias who attempted to attack. I saw that move and aimed for a counter. “Of course, I thought I would be blocked or evaded and was preparing for the next move.”
“That just hit the mark.”
“yes.”
After hearing that explanation, I imagined the situation lightly.
Ajax’s attack started first, but Pielot’s attack arrived ahead of the speed and hit Ajax’s temporal area.
Just like that, Aias faints. It would be difficult for others to tell who attacked first. Only the two who fought will know.
I asked.
“Did you really use footbaloney?”
“…Oh, no. Because it was sparring, it was a wooden sword. Because wooden swords don’t have sheaths.”
“I’m asking whether you adopted that ‘stance’ regardless of whether it had a sheath or not.”
“….”
Pielot couldn’t answer there. The meaning was obvious.
“This bastard. Are you using that on a student who isn’t even an adult yet?”
“…I’m a student too.”
That’s right.
Pielot knelt down politely, but said more as if he still felt unfair.
“…I heard that Aias is the strongest among Atlas’ students. That’s how I saw it too. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to correct my loose mind, but some unfortunate coincidences led to this.”
“…It’s bad luck.”
I quietly looked at Pielot.
One thing I have learned over the years of teaching is that Pielot is extremely bad at self-objectification.
This is similar to Aster, but different. Aster tends to humble himself, but he is not unaware of opponents who are weaker than him. I clearly recognize it.
I just believe that this world is full of people stronger than me. It is me and Elodie who ignite that faith.
I can’t fully understand Aster’s mind, but if I roughly guess, ‘There are two people in one class whose power I can’t estimate, but if you count the entire continent, how many would there be?’ You might be thinking something like that. That’s why they think their skills are mediocre. It probably won’t be fixed until I die.
But Pielot, both before learning from me and now, cannot be objective in any way.
When I was arrogant, I raised myself too high, and now I lower myself too much. You probably have no idea how strong you are compared to those around you.
‘You and Dier killed a high-ranking demon together. ‘Have you just forgotten?’
Or do you think it’s all thanks to Dier?
Who on earth made this kid like this?
[Hey, Frontier. Don’t you plan on avoiding me?]
Elodie’s voice was heard there. It was as if he read my thoughts.
Is this really because of me? All I did was tell Dier never to praise Pielot. Of course, I have never praised Pielot either.
A carrot for Dier, a whip for Pielot. This was my basic principle, but does that mean Pielot has become insensitive to his own skills to this extent?
…Somehow, the more I talked about it, the more it felt like it was my fault.
“I wonder what it would be like. “Wouldn’t people from Ajax’s family come to protest?”
Arald answered my question.
“There is a possibility. Of course, if a child named Aias has a high self-esteem, he may not want it himself.”
It’s pride. It looked very high.
I suddenly remembered and asked.
“Ajax’s full name is ‘Ajax the Acaia,’ right?”
“That’s right.”
Elodie nodded.
I was so annoyed by that name that I scratched my cheek.
“…Aiasra.”
“Why the name?”
“No, just.”
In fact, it is a problem that cannot be ignored.
Of course, people in this world don’t know, but in the game Etius, there are cases where the character’s name is the same as a name that appears in myths or legends.
And in that case, there is a high probability that the character is named.
For example, this is the case with Lidvi’s son Hector. Hector, a hero praised for his outstanding military service in the Trojan War.
Lidwi’s son Hector has not left behind such achievements, but that is because I changed the course of the Mangot War.
When the barrier becomes truly dangerous and the empire faces a crisis due to lack of proper countermeasures, Hector unleashes his immense ability and devours the monsters with his power.
As a result, Hector kills countless monsters. Even if the defeat of the war cannot be reversed.
‘If Aias also took the name of a hero like Hector.’
Of course, having the same name could just be a coincidence. Ajax is as famous a hero as Hector, but the name itself is not rare.
However, his first name is Aias, and his last name is Achaia. Moreover, the most powerful individual within Atlas. In addition, he even has divine power.
From my standards, it is rather strange to see it as unrelated to the hero Aias.
‘If that happens, the trouble is that there are two people named Aias in mythology.’
Moreover, the two are very different. One can truly be called a hero, but the other is closer to a villain by my standards.
However, there was a series of disturbances, such as attacking me even after the sparring was over and picking a fight with Pielot.
Moreover, it has the characteristic of having divine powers.
All of those elements seem to tell me that Student Ajax is based on the villain’s setting.
‘…No, let’s not conclude. That won’t necessarily be the case. You saw the case of Cybel. There were cases where a character who was thought to be a villain turned out to be a good character.’
It’s not confirmed that Aias is the villain.
It is prohibited to make hasty judgments about anything.
Then Arald spoke.
“What should we do if the Achaia family protests? “You might try to figure out Pielot’s surroundings.”
“You have your identity ready, right?”
“Yes, but people are not prepared.”
“He is a person.”
“Parents getting involved in fights between their children is not a very nice thing to see, but it is also very common.”
Right. It’s a meeting with parents. If you tell Pielot to call his parents, things will get difficult.
There I saw Arald.
Arald’s expression became cold.
“…No, Mr. Frontier.”
“There just happens to be the right person. “Please act like a father.”
Arald is much older than me and looks somewhat older.
There won’t be any problem playing the role of Pielot’s father.
Lili, who was listening, laughed.
“Ahaha. “You’re having a hard time opening your mouth for no reason.”
“Riri, playing the mother.”
“What?!”
That’s why you open your mouth for no reason.
“I’ve been wondering what to order Lili to do since I came here, but I’m glad I did. Take this opportunity to do some work. “Riri.”
“W-what are you talking about! I was the one who helped the demons adapt well to the human world! “I am managing all the demons that followed Arald!”
Lili appeals as if it’s unfair, but it doesn’t work on me.
“That management was sorted out a week ago.”
“Ugh. “How do you do that?”
“I am the one who brought all the demons, including Elodina May, to this continent.”
Of course, Arald and the demons said they would follow me as they pleased.
Since I said that, I can’t say I don’t know.
“I’m checking to see how everyone is doing.”
“….”
At my words, Lia Reese blinked a few times and then sighed.
“OK got it. Anyway, if the Achaean family doesn’t move, there’s no need for me to do that, right?”
“yes. “It’s like some kind of insurance.”
I nodded.
As long as that side doesn’t move, there is no need for this side to move.
This was clearly true.
