The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 44
Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 44 Chapter
11 Dragon Heart (4)
I headed northwest.
The direction was away from the center of the field.
“Mr. Frontier, is it okay to go in this direction?”
“huh?”
Aten spoke from the side.
“As far as I know, I heard there is a boss in the center of this field.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
In this practical exercise, you earn points based on the number of monsters you defeat.
Of course, the points earned for each monster are different.
Stronger, higher-ranking monsters have higher points than weak monsters, and small, fast monsters that focus on running away also have high points in their own way.
And among them, this one has unusually high points.
He’s so out of line that even if he catches just one of them, he’ll be guaranteed first place.
That’s the field boss.
“If you’re aiming for the field boss, should you go to the center…?”
Aten’s doubts were natural.
I nodded.
“Well, that’s right. But I won’t aim for it.”
“yes?”
The field boss is not even close to my specifications.
From what I remember, it’s a monster called ‘Trunkoons’, and you can think of it as a scary, huge rhinoceros beetle.
A very simple creature that flies, bites, and hits with its body.
But the simple specs are so strong that I have no choice.
I might be able to do something if I use ‘Gram’, but there are a lot of students who are challenging Trunkoons, so there are a lot of eyes and I don’t have enough mana to freely use Gram yet.
“Let’s catch the monsters on the outskirts while the other students are distracted by the field boss.”
In a little while, the center of the field will become the center of chaos.
A true strategy to attack the boss, a safety group that subdues the monsters around him, hyenas with their eyes lit up in hiding trying to steal the boss’s whereabouts, and even thieves trying to rob the students’ pockets.
I don’t have the confidence to handle that dizzying fight.
“But the number of monsters is decreasing in the outskirts.”
“are you okay.”
Because I know everything.
We took advantage of the attention being focused on the boss and went out to kill the monsters on the outskirts.
And when I had acquired a significant amount of material, I stopped.
“The operation worked well. “At this level, I can achieve good results without any problems.”
“….”
“Mr. Frontier?”
Although I could hear Aten’s words, I was caught up in an ominous thought.
“…There isn’t too much.”
“There isn’t that much. “I think I’ve gathered enough material.”
“People, not monsters.”
This is the outskirts of the field.
Normally, I wouldn’t have anything to say, but there’s a certain eerie energy hovering around me.
Aten said.
“Mr. Frontier just said that. “Everyone will be distracted by the field boss.”
“Yes, but I thought there would be students who think similar to me.”
I never thought that I would be able to catch the monster without any interference.
Because anyone can come up with an idea like this.
However, I have not met any students since I left the outskirts.
Is this really just a coincidence?
Are all the students really heading towards the center and not a single one has come this way?
I looked around for a moment.
I checked the drone nearby that was faithfully taking pictures of this area.
…Let’s try it. If we weave that thing and fly it in the air, we can check the situation of the war.
It won’t work if you just weave it, but you may be able to use black cloth.
I put the drone in the workshop.
[Replica of Constel’s filming drone]
– A fake imitating the appearance of Constel’s video drone
– Since it is a fake, it has no video function.
“…what?”
As soon as I saw it, a cold feeling ran through my whole body.
“…Aten.”
“yes?”
“Be alert to your surroundings.”
Aten was about to say something to me, but then he took a stance and looked around.
He must have saved his words after seeing my expression.
Thank you for your consideration.
‘Was it fake from the beginning? No, that can’t be possible.’
Then you will be caught right away.
Aten is already next to me.
If the screen for taking Aten doesn’t appear, it will become apparent quickly.
In other words, after the game started, my attention was focused on the field boss, and the drone was switched without my knowledge.
The drone that was so close to me changed and I didn’t even notice.
…a powerful enemy of a different dimension.
I made a decision.
“Menosorpo.”
He created a magic circle with his remarks.
Rather, take advantage of the opportunity while the enemy has not yet revealed his appearance to strengthen your defenses.
All coordinates within Menosorpo’s domain are mine.
In other words, if an enemy is inside, you can see right through it.
“Frondier, what are you doing-”
“Shh.”
I put my finger to my lips.
At this level, Aten will also feel the severity.
but.
I was worried that my voice was shaking and that Aten could hear it.
‘…What is this monster?’
The moment I opened it, cold sweat broke out on my back.
The enemy is already in the area.
That’s not far either.
I can feel its momentum enough to scratch my skin.
The pressure is so great that bosses in this field seem ridiculous.
The location is-
“What?”
And then a voice comes out of nowhere.
Aten was surprised and turned towards him.
Aten was unusually surprised.
The enemy is close enough to hear your voice.
Because I didn’t even realize it until now.
“Could it be that I got caught?”
A man
slowly emerged through the darkness with a carefree voice .
…grey hair and rough beard.
A muscular body and a huge great sword to match.
The man walked with it on his shoulder.
I was staring at that figure as if frozen.
I know who it is.
Being a named character and being a villain.
And that no matter what I do now, I can’t stand against it.
─Renzo, the Gourmet of Chaos.
A man who ranks among the strongest among human villains is standing in front of me.
“I never thought I’d get caught. I have a good feeling. “I don’t know what this magic circle is, but I have good judgment that it was created here.”
“….”
I couldn’t answer anything.
Normally, he would have said something sarcastic, but with his lips pressed together, he didn’t even flinch.
That appearance seemed to have aroused Renzo’s interest.
“…Do you know me?”
At Renzo’s words, Aten glanced at me with his eyes.
“Do you know someone?”
“I can’t talk too long. It’s the enemy. “No matter what the two of us do, we are no match for each other.”
“…I can understand that just by looking at it.”
Even during that short conversation, Renzo slowly approached us and we backed away that much.
“What business do we have?”
I forced myself to open my mouth.
I needed time to think.
A chance to escape.
There may be such a thing, but it’s better than doing nothing.
“No, I’m not interested in you. “My goal is to have a princess next to me.”
“Is it your fault that you can’t see the students?”
“okay. I put a barrier in place. It is a barrier that hinders access. It naturally makes people go in different directions. “Without even realizing it.”
Barrier to hinder access.
For some reason, I don’t want to go, I don’t think this is the place, so with appropriate thoughts like that, I create a place that I don’t go to without knowing it.
It may be slower in the city, but in an open field like this, the barrier would work very well.
“What is the reason? “What are you planning to do to the princess?”
“I do not know. “I just work for money.”
“…Are you saying you received enough money to kidnap the princess?”
“well? “I just took it in moderation.”
Boom –
The man lowered the sword from his shoulder.
You can feel its weight through the vibration that can be felt up to here.
“Money doesn’t matter anyway. “I just did it because it looked fun.”
Yes, he is this kind of man.
An expression commonly used to describe troublemakers is that they cause accidents wherever they go.
What would happen if an incomparably powerful person did something like that?
Renzo is the person who made such an unfunny joke.
Renzo has no beliefs, dreams, or goals.
If it looks fun, do it.
They wield their ridiculous power with the same mindset as children.
That’s why he’s a villain.
Even if he knows that what he is doing is evil, he does not care about such things, so he is the closest villain to evil.
“Okay, so I don’t have anything to do with you. I just need to bring a woman next to me. “I heard that given the situation, it wouldn’t matter if I killed him.”
“Is that ‘fun’ for you?”
“no. What happens after that is interesting. Is it not the kidnapping of the princess or the murder of the princess? “It’s a fun thing. I’m sure there will be more to come after that.”
Damn it.
Constell’s teachers and the entire Imperial Knights will come to kill that man, but that’s the only fun thing to do?
“Do you think I will follow along quietly?”
Aten said displeasedly.
Renzo blinked a few times at those words.
“Uh oh. “Is that so?”
That’s what he said.
Aten’s eyes bloomed coldly.
Her white hair shone, calming the surrounding temperature.
Aten stretched out his hand.
Ice magic type 3,
instant range amplification granting
ice fog
magic, was performed right where Renzo was.
A glacial fog that instantly lowers the surrounding temperature and freezes the target.
Renzo’s whole body froze in an instant due to the magic that extended triple enchantment at once.
“Mr. Frontier! “Hurry up and run away!”
Aten hurriedly spoke to me.
Damn,
I froze for less than a moment.
Renzo’s steps were so natural.
As if he wasn’t even under magic.
He said, shaking off ice particles from his clothes.
“It’s just as I thought.”
That perfectly carefree face said,
“You’re so calm.”
It is nothing but fear to those who see it.
“…Tsk!”
Aten reached out his hand again and collected mana.
I put my hand on her shoulder.
“…Aten.”
“Why are you calling me?”
“You are the one who needs to run away.”
I lightly pulled Aten and stepped forward.
Huh, I took a deep breath, almost like a sigh.
There has never been such a ridiculous event in this practical exam.
Maybe it’s because Aten came to my class, or maybe it’s because Fili is more active than the game.
I don’t know what the butterfly effect is.
This only proves that Etius is a great game.
“If you get the chance, run away.”
Aten must not die here.
She does a great job as an elemental mage, but she has another, more important role.
Aten is a healer of great ability, although she herself has not yet realized her talent.
I don’t even know the basics of healing magic now, but someday I will realize it.
So, if Aten goes wrong, the game is over at some point anyway.
However, I didn’t realize this until after I was dead.
‘The possibility of me beating Renzo.’
This is ridiculous.
It’s not worth thinking about.
‘The possibility that Aten’s escape will succeed.’
Extremely low.
I told Aten to run, but I didn’t expect it to work.
Renzo is relaxed now. It’s not slow.
Even if I create a huge gap and let Aten escape, I will catch up with him in an instant if I put my mind to it.
‘Possibility of reinforcements coming.’
…This is the only thing I can rely on.
Even though the main screen you see right now is the center where bosses are dealt with, it will feel strange if Aten doesn’t keep appearing.
Renzo probably knows that too, but he probably doesn’t think about it too deeply.
From Renzo’s point of view, it would be good whether the princess’s kidnapping fails or succeeds.
The purpose is just ‘fun’.
So I just make the most of my time here.
When menosorpho is still activated.
I took a breath and
placed my hand on the black lotus around my neck.
Then, use force to break the black lotus.
Weaving (織造) Heukcheon (黑川)
grade – Deity (神位)
Iokeira Arrow
of Artemis.
I launched an arrow in the air and aimed it at Renzo.
The bow ‘Chryselakatos’ is still ‘female-only’, so I can’t use it yet.
In this way, we have no choice but to borrow Menosorpo’s ability and use it as a temporary measure.
“…Hoo.”
Even when the divine arrow is aimed at him, Renzo can only express dry admiration.
I said.
“Falling rain.”
[Iocheira]
Grade: Deity
Description: An arrow made by Hephaestus, the god of blacksmiths, and given to Artemis. It is paired with Chrysellakatos.

– Falling Rain:
With those words, it will rain.
The arrows multiplied innumerable in an instant and filled the area around me.
“good.”
With those words, the arrows literally become rain.
It hit Renzo.
