Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 5 Chapter

2 Branches in the Coffin Mystiltain (1)

A night filled with deep darkness.

A woman walked quietly.

Her long blonde hair shone in the moonlight, making her shine alone.

Slightly sunken eyes and calm gait.

The eyes that gently pushed away the scenery as if full of mesmerization had an alluring charm that would make any man look back.

The woman continued to walk slowly and then said,

“…huh.”

I opened my eyes. No, my eyes were always open and I woke up.

A few strands of hair were attached to her lips.

“…Ah, we’ve arrived.”

Elin looked in front of her house.

Check your clothing.

“It doesn’t look like I hit anything, it’s fine.”

Last time, I walked home with a leaf on my head.

Huam yawned as if he was still sleepy. When has there ever been a time when I wasn’t sleepy?

I opened the front door.

“Oh, sister, are you here?”

Her younger brother greeted her while sitting on the sofa. No, I’m not even taking my eyes off the wizard view, so I wonder if it’s okay to greet him.

“Aster.”

Elin cast a suspicious look at her younger brother, Aster Evans.

“why?”

“Are you acquainted with a first-year member of the Roach family?

“Who is that?”

“I mean Frontier. “Frondier, the human sloth.”

Aster tilted his head a little more after hearing Elin’s words.

“…Who is that?”

Elin sighed.

My younger brother is very indifferent to the external situation. I can’t believe I don’t know the person called Frontier.

“I heard you and Frontier were seen together. “In the training room.”

“…Ah, is it him?”

Aster said as if something occurred to him.

“But we weren’t together. I just said hello in passing. “It seemed like he was waiting for someone.”

“Hmm.”

Elin let out a short snort and passed by Aster.

Aster looked dumbfounded as she walked toward the refrigerator.

“No, is that the end?”

“I was worried that you might get caught up in something strange again.”

Elin took out the water bottle and poured water into a cup.

I hear Aster snorting from behind me.

“You’re laughing. “I was just sleeping all day long-”

Elin’s hand swung around.

A cup stretched out from the tip of that finger and the water it contained. The entire thing flies toward Aster in a clean horizontal line, as if it was placed on a table and pushed.

Aster caught it with his hand and leaned back following his inertia. I slightly changed the direction of the force and rotated my body once.

The water in the water cup was shaking.

Elin looked at it with sad eyes and said.

“I spilled it.”

“That’s because you throw it that way!”

“Like that? Do you want to be thrown around like that too?”

Damn Aster swallowed his anger and drank water.

A topic that is not even a fist away if you use your divine power.

Aster shifted his gaze to the Wizard View to forget his useless thoughts.

“uh?”

News was streaming on Wizard View.

The contents made Aster stop moving.

[Here’s the next news. There is news that a party that conquered a dungeon near Solgitov discovered a divine object. The new object is a tree branch nearly 2m long, and its appearance is similar to that of Mistiltein, making it a hot topic -]

“Mistiltein?”

Elin also responded to Aster’s muttering. She put down the glass of water she was drinking and walked to Aster’s side.

On the screen, a member of the party was holding a transparent coffin. A long tree branch was placed inside the coffin.

I was in the middle of an interview.

[Why did you put it in the coffin?]

[We didn’t put it in the coffin. This is what it looked like when you found it in the dungeon.]

[Have you ever thought about breaking the coffin?]

[No way. If you wear new items, including this coffin, you could incur the wrath of the god.]

[I guess so. There is speculation in the world that it may be Mystiltein. What do you think?]

[We are not sure. If that’s really the case, I’d be happy!]

The leader of the party smiling cheerfully.

Hearing that voice, Aster quietly examined the tree branch inside the coffin.

Elin asked, looking at Aster’s expression.

“…What do you think?”

“I don’t know. “I’ve never seen the real thing.”

“How will he react?”

Aster shook his head.

The ‘him’ that Elin spoke of means Baldur. Since it was the weapon that killed him, they were hoping that it would tell Aster something.

For reference, most of the gods experienced ‘death’. Just like the gods did in long history and mythology.

However, this does not mean that they have completely disappeared. It means that you have escaped the human world.

They now exist in the ‘World of Salvation’, which is a higher concept than the Greek ‘Nether’ or the Northern European ‘Helheim’ that appears in each myth.

Therefore, Baldur will also be there, and if he wants to, he may be able to give Aster something or a hint.

Unfortunately, Aster did not receive any hints from Baldur.

However, his eyes were still as if they were nailed to a tree branch.

“Still, you want to check, right?”

“huh. “If it really is Mystiltein, I have to have it.”

The branch that killed Baldur.

It is a weakness for Aster, who is loved by Baldur.

On the other hand, if you only have that, your biggest weakness will disappear.

No, not only that, but if I could actually handle that.

If there is someone who can use that divine object, if there is someone who can get permission from God to use it. Isn’t it only me?

[Then what do you plan to do with the new material? We won’t be able to use it like this.]

[I think it’s a presumptuous weapon for us to have. I am considering selling it if I can get the right price.]

“…Aster.”

“know.”

That weapon will most likely have a huge price tag. It doesn’t matter if it’s real or fake. Even if it’s fake, it’s real until the real thing appears.

A family unrelated to battle would probably never use that weapon.

It is never proven to be genuine and is only enshrined in the family home.

That alone will increase your reputation. The price will skyrocket just for that purpose alone.

A price that Aster Evans, a commoner, could not even dream of.

* * *

“Did you hear? Mystiltein that.”

“Ah, I heard the auction was cancelled?”

A few days later.

In Constell, talk about Mystiltein was in full swing.

Everyone’s interest, including students and professors, was focused on that.

The party that discovered Mystiltein put the sacred item up for auction. However, it was soon canceled.

This was planned. What the prestigious families presented could not simply be converted into money.

In the end, heads of prestigious families were scheduled to gather together and reach an agreement. A clumsy noble would not even be able to attend this event.

Today is the day of the noble meeting.

Today, on a rare occasion, attention was focused on Frontier in the classroom.

Regardless of his personality, Frondier is clearly the son of a noble family.

His father, Ampere de Roach, is said to have extreme love for his son.

Here, the son refers not to Frondier but to his older brother, Atjie.

Plus, Frontier’s statement a while ago.

Rumors of his incomprehensible bravado, “Mistiltein didn’t look like that,” spread throughout the school year. The moment will soon come when that bravado will be revealed.

Due to the combination of these various reasons,

interest in Frontier has skyrocketed in Constell today.

Of course, Frontier, the person in question, just has a quiet and sleepy face today as well.

“Frondier.”

After school, Elodie came to Frondier’s classroom.

Constel has six classes for each grade.

Even though Elodie and Frontier are in the same grade, they are in different classes.

Frontier is in class 5 and Elodie is in class 2, the same as Aster.

Since Aster is the main character in the game Etius, many named players are concentrated in class 2.

As Elodie approached Frondier, the students’ eyes focused on them.

But in some ways, Elodie’s actions were natural.

She is also the daughter of a prestigious family. She is the daughter of the Lishae family, which is a rival to the Roach family. Of course I will attend the meeting today.

“Don’t say anything strange, even at the meeting place.”

Elodie said as if warning.

“Sound strange?”

“Mystiltein didn’t look like that or anything.”

“Don’t say that. don’t worry.”

“What are you worried about? I’m afraid that shame will become my share. “Well, it’s good if you don’t say anything nonsense.”

Elodie sighed proudly.

Frontier laughed.

For a brief moment, light appeared on my drowsy face.

“Even if I don’t do that, it’s mine.”

“…huh?”

What did you just say?

Mine?

“Ah, it’s from the Roach family?”

“You can say that too.”

“Then say so. “Don’t be weird.”

* * *

Frondier and Elodie headed to the school gate together.

Many students were watching the two.

As if looking at the bride and groom coming out of a wedding hall.

Of course, the relationship between the two is almost the opposite.

“Elodie.”

Then someone came up. It was Aster.

The two, who are prospects in the same class, are naturally close friends.

Even based on gameplay, Aster starts talking to Elodie around this time.

“Bye.”

“huh. “There is nothing for me to do.”

Elodie smiled and joked.

Aster also smiled, but there was some stiffness in his smile.

“Can I ask you a favor, Elodie?”

“huh?”

“I know it’s impossible, but if possible, take Mystiltain. “You can rest assured.”

Elodie smiled bitterly at Aster’s words. It’s not like she doesn’t know Aster’s situation either. But it’s easier said than done.

From the Lishae family’s point of view, Mystiltein is not an item worth coveting that much.

I would have it if I could, but it’s not something worth shedding money on.

Probably the most likely one is the Roach family.

I heard that Ampere, the head of the family, would do anything for Atjie.

There is a good reason why Frondeer says Mystiltein is his.

“…I’ll try my best.”

Elodie said.

Depending on how the meeting progresses, you might be able to raise your voice at least once. I don’t know how meaningful that would be, though.

“Don’t worry, Aster Evans.”

Then suddenly Frontier spoke.

Aster looked at Frontier.

The two are close to meeting each other for the first time, except when they met in the training room.

To Aster, Frontier spoke calmly.

“I will take your worries away.”

With those words, Frondier walked.

Elodie followed a little later.

“What do you mean? “I want to take your worries away.”

“Literally.”

What does that literally mean?

Elodie looked uncomfortable.

In fact, there were more important and tense issues for Frontier right now than the meeting itself.

The person waiting for him at the school gate is the problem.

“Frondier.”

A cold voice called out to Frondier in front of the stopped carriage.

Frondier’s first impression of him was that of a forged sword.

Sharp yet strong eyes. All of the tightly closed lips are like a symbol.

If we were to just look at beauty standards, she would be one of the most beautiful people on the continent, but there are only a few people who can come close to that sharp look that looks like it would cut you if you touched it.

“…older brother.”

This man is Frondier’s older brother, Adgier de Roach.

A fraudulent character according to Etius’s official description who inherits all the talents of Ampere, the iron-clad matriarch, and grows above them.

“There has been a lot of delay. “Get in the carriage. Your father is waiting.”

Ajie moved without giving Frondier a chance to say whether he was present or not.

It was a natural gesture that had to be done.

Elodie, who had come with us, soon got into the carriage accompanied by the Lishae family.

“…yes.”

Frontier got into the carriage.

This man, whom I saw for the first time today,

is his older brother and the person with the highest probability of discovering Frondier’s identity.
