Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 43
Chapter 11 Dragon Heart (3)
I’m in trouble.
Of course, the reason I had no intention of forming a team was to prevent the scores from being divided.
This is because, if necessary, we tried to use weaving.
Of course, you can’t use it carelessly because there are drones flying next to you, but it’s better than being pushed to the bottom.
Because I can’t be excommunicated.
If you do it right, you can secretly destroy drones.
Drones are something that students leave behind because they broadcast their activities, so they are not something that cannot be destroyed.
But with Aten by my side, all such thoughts are useless.
Well, Aten’s skills are much better, so let’s put it that way.
“Please take care of me, Mr. Frontier.”
“huh. Please take care of me.”
As I answered, I glanced around the forest.
Umm this field.
It’s refreshing and nice to see it through the eyes of reality.
“First, let’s decide on a base camp.”
“Base camp? “The practical test isn’t that long.”
“Of course, it’s not a real camp, but we need a place to collect evidence of killing monsters.”
“okay.”
I started exploring with Aten, who nodded obediently.
…I just felt it recently.
The Frontier’s body instinctively wants to be lazy.
I haven’t even walked a few steps, but I’m already sleepy and tired.
Is it a physical habit that has been in place for over ten years?
Without realizing it, my eyes become weak and my expression becomes fierce.
But you have to do what you have to do.
I pulled up some grass as I walked.
Aten saw that and asked.
“What are you doing?”
“Gathering.”
“What kind of grass is it?”
“It’s a medicinal herb. “It helps if you apply it to the injured area.”
Although it is not particularly effective, it is easy to manufacture and can be used right away.
Even if you try to find high-quality herbs in a place like this where there are no pharmaceutical facilities, the cost-effectiveness is poor.
“Mr. Frontier, have you studied herbalism?”
Aten asked with a surprised expression.
Learning herbalism helps you interpret herbs.
At first, you can only tell whether it is toxic or not, but later you can see the specific effects.
Of course I shook my head.
“I just knew it originally.”
“Oh…”
Aten’s pure admiration in his eyes is burdensome.
It’s not a lie. Because I saw it several times in the game.
In fact, I think it was the most honest thing I’ve said since entering this world.
While walking, I dig up useful grass and look around to find a place to camp.
Pick the edible fruits from the trees.
When Aten asked, ‘How do you know if it’s edible?’ he answered, ‘I just know.’
It seems like a sparkle has been added to Aten’s eyes as he looks at me.
“…I guess you can’t trust rumors.”
Aten suddenly said something like that.
As I looked, Aten smiled humbly.
“I heard some bad rumors about you.”
“okay.”
According to the rumors, I would have had to become nothing more than a burden.
They don’t do anything and just follow around, but they don’t feel like doing anything and doze off whenever they get the chance.
I would have imagined such a character.
“But after all, rumors are just rumors. “Your face just looks sleepy….”
“It’s not a face that looks sleepy, it’s sleepy.”
“Is that so?”
Even as I say whoa, I yawn.
My eyes were already half closed.
Still, if I close my eyes half-closed, I feel a bit drowsy.
…Almost because of my mood.
“So, wouldn’t a cave be better for our base camp?”
Aten asked.
I shook my head.
“no. “It’s too dangerous.”
“Are the monsters in the cave that strong?”
“Monsters are not the problem, people are the problem.”
“person?”
Aten tilted his head.
I looked into her eyes.
Those innocent eyes were truly an expression of ignorance.
Is this really the princess?
“You heard it when I explained it. “The monster materials must be brought to the teacher at the end of the subjugation time.”
“Why is that?”
“Why would you do that? “Once you obtain the monster material, you can settle the settlement on the spot.”
This field is a facility at Constell.
There is already a filming drone flying next to us.
Since we are checking everywhere to ensure the safety of the students, settling the monster materials is simple.
But it didn’t do that.
“…ah.”
Aten made a sound as if he understood.
she said
“Are you saying the material could be stolen by another group?”
“okay. So caves are dangerous. It’s too noticeable and there’s no place to hide the material. “If we get a high-scoring material, we should each keep it in our arms, but other miscellaneous things will have to be hidden somewhere.”
For the same reason, the place to hide the looted evidence should not be too obvious.
In a forest rather than a plain or grassland. A place with many blades of grass and branches.
The location of the camp may be revealed.
It would be better if you could hide it, but you must be prepared for it to be discovered.
The important thing is not the camp, but the monster material.
There is no better place to hide this than a forest. When hiding something
, it is more efficient to hide it in a place where the surroundings are messy and complicated
than to organize the surroundings neatly so that it is not noticeable .
“Mr. Ales gave a long speech before the start.”
-There is no guarantee that you will always have a strong and reliable comrade by your side when fighting danger.
“It also means that it is important to have teamwork with everyone, but to put it more simply, it means that there are not many people in society who can be trusted.”
The purpose of this practical exercise is to give you a taste of what society is like as a combatant.
Although Constel’s first-year students are young, they have accumulated their own combat training.
But becoming a professional demands more than that.
That’s what this training aims for.
“This is not a subjugation war. “It’s a battle.”
* * *
While Frondier and Aten were searching for monsters.
A man moved stealthily in the woods.
He started ‘hunting for materials’ from the beginning.
If students are greedy, they will be preoccupied with monsters to increase their scores.
‘…good.’
The man stopped moving.
Frontier’s position has arrived within range.
Frondier’s eyes, looking around blankly, are extremely drowsy.
‘!’
This is a windfall.
Of course, Aten next to Frontier is dangerous.
I don’t want to fight if possible.
However, the two have not been discovered yet.
If you approach well, you can empty Frondier’s pockets without being discovered by Aten.
It doesn’t matter if you get caught after stealing. All you have to do is run away.
Practical skills are, after all, tests.
Violence between students is prohibited.
You can still see this through a drone.
Slowly, we gradually get closer to Frontier.
I am confident in hiding. That’s why I try to hunt for materials like this. ‘
Huh
?’
At that time, I felt something touch my ankle.
It wasn’t a matter of letting down one’s guard.
To begin with, I was walking while looking at my feet.
‘Surely there was nothing?’
There was nothing, but it was clearly the feeling of touching something.
Instinctively, the man looked at Frondier.
‘…isn’t it nothing?’
There was no special reaction from Frontier.
He still had the same sleepy expression.
‘Whew, were you too nervous?’
The moment I thought that, Frontier suddenly raised both arms.
When the man braced himself against those arms that were spread out at a fairly high speed.
“Whoaaaam~”
Frondier yawned loudly.
It was just stretching.
‘I’m so surprised. ‘Why are you stretching so loudly?’
But it only ends there.
The man’s thoughts were intact.
Wow!
“Phew!”
The man was hit on the top of his head by a tree branch that fell from the air.
The man lost consciousness in an instant due to the completely unexpected surprise attack.
Rolling around.
A tree branch rolled next to it. He
could not understand at all the connection between Frondier’s stretching of his arms and the fallen tree branch
until he completely lost consciousness .
The man was eliminated like that.
* * *
‘…It’s like some kind of comedy.’
Unfortunately, the man’s ugly appearance was captured on the broadcast screen.
Elin was looking at this in bewilderment.
Originally, I came to check on my younger brother Aster, but Frontier appeared on the broadcast screen as often as Aster.
Probably because of Aten.
‘Frondier used an invisible weapon.’
When the man who was planning to ambush Frondier approached, Frondier had a subtle reaction.
Perhaps something unseen was touched and Frontier felt it.
And as he stretched out, a tree branch broke off and fell from above, hitting the man directly.
I guess he pretended to stretch and threw something at a tree branch.
Probably a dagger.
I didn’t see this either.
‘Has my throwing skills improved?’
Elin was making a correct guess.
This is only a possible guess since she has seen Frondier fight before. Other people would think that the tree branch just fell and hit the man on the top of his head.
‘There is Aten, and there is surprisingly no need to worry about Frontier.’
The moment Elin thought about that,
she felt a shiver run down her spine.
It was only a split second before I put my hand on the scabbard and gave strength to the handle of the sword.
however.
“The response is good.”
Someone pressed a finger on the handle of the sword.
“…!”
‘I can’t pull it out.’
The movement was suppressed with the power of just one finger.
“He has good sense of movement and a good attitude when switching between kicks and kicks. “Well, is this the level of skill of the best swordsman Constel?”
There is no hostility in the calm voice.
Life was just a moment and it was gone before we knew it.
Only then did Elin check the other person’s face.
‘…this person is?’
Brown hair and plain face.
It’s a common appearance that seems like you can spot it anywhere you pass by.
But Elin knew.
Who is this man?
And that there is no one other than himself who doesn’t know this man.
“…Mr. Eden Hamelot.”
“Oh do you know me? “Miss Elin Astor.”
I have no choice but to know.
What kind of humility are you talking about?
Eden Hamelot, No. 1 in the professional rankings.
He is the strongest man in humanity at the moment.
“…I was surprised.”
“sorry. Was it a joke? But most of them don’t react even when I shoot them.”
Is that why you throw your life at everyone you meet?
Even though he is the strongest man, he is very mischievous.
“But do you know me?”
“I know. “I have been watching the siblings of the Aster family for a long time.”
“…Aster would be the main goal.”
“Hahaha, his potential is definitely amazing. I don’t deny it. But I’m also very interested in you.”
“Is that so.”
Elin answered with a reluctant heart.
Eden also looked at the screen as if he didn’t care much.
“Let’s see, Mr. Aster… “It looks like there’s no problem.”
In the screen, Aster was teaming up with his friend Runia to deal with monsters.
First place is almost certain.
“Aren’t you proud as an older sister? “My younger brother’s first place is certain.”
“well. Aster’s movements are still clumsy. “I often try to push through with my strength.”
“Haha, you’re strict. “Then who are you paying close attention to?”
Eden asked me as if I knew him.
It’s my first time seeing you today.
Elin sighed.
“This is Frontier de Roach.”
I said with the mindset that everything should happen.
Well, unless you know the true nature of Frontier, it will sound like you are joking.
“Hmm frontier de roachra. “Who is that?”
“…I’ll let you know when it comes on the screen.”
Elin then set her eyes on the screen.
If I tell you who it is, maybe Eden will be a little quieter.
…however.
‘uh?’
The huge screen in front of your eyes keeps changing.
Sometimes from above where you can see someone close-up or in full view.
The faces of Aten and team Frontier often appear.
however.
“Hmm, Miss Ellin. “Is Frontier out yet?”
“….”
But Frondier is not caught.
No matter how much time passes.
Even though it was most first graders’ turn to be caught on screen.
“…what?”
The screen that was just calmly broadcasting now seems so foreign.
* * *
“Huh? mom?”
Suddenly Fili stood up.
Without saying anything to Elysia and Saleh.
But soon Fili smiled and said:
“Mom’s bathroom~”
“What else can I say? If you go up and enter the passage, you can see it.”
“Okay.”
And Fili got out of the seat and walked.
Her face, which no one could see, was extremely miserable.
‘what.’
It is an act of foresight.
I don’t know what’s happening.
However, this dirty, sticky thing runs down my throat and is unpleasant.
Invisible premonitions had always made her anxious, but she had never felt such strong precognition.
Fili looked at the screen.
Practical exam being broadcast.
As far as I can see, there is nothing that could be a problem.
It appears to be proceeding normally.
But every time I check that screen, anxiety and fear rise.
Although you can’t see it,
something is happening in that field where the practical test is taking place.
