Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 7 Chapter
2 Branch in the coffin Mystiltein (3)
Sharp breaking sound. The sound was enough to freeze everyone there.
Divine punishment is coming….
Everyone was so nervous that they couldn’t open their mouths.
“Huh?”
“What is this?”
At that time, the tree branch inside the coffin ‘flowed down’.
Literally what had been a tree branch a moment ago had turned into black water and was pouring out due to gravity.
“I told you. “It’s fake.”
Frondier stretched out his hand into the flowing black water.
The nobles around him were embarrassed.
“You can touch that,”
said Frondier, cupping the black water with his hand. The water just flowed down my hands.
But the moment Frondier clenched his fist,
“Hing?”
The water turned into metal again in his fist, and when it bloomed, it became liquid again and flowed down.
“What a strange guy.”
“…ah.”
At that time, Elodie opened her mouth as if something occurred to her.
“Viscoelasticity.”
“huh? what?”
Frondier smiled in approval at Elodie’s words.
“you’re right. “This material is a viscoelastic metal.”
“What is that?”
“To put it simply, if you apply force, it becomes solid, but if you leave it alone, it quickly becomes liquid.”
However, it is impossible for metals to naturally have these properties.
Even when a viscoelastic substance becomes a solid, it is soft due to its inherent elasticity and viscosity. It cannot become as hard as metal.
Although it was not Mystiltein, this pitch black water was definitely a metal with magical value.
“Then what just looked like Mystiltain?”
“Someone must have imitated its appearance by injecting it with magic. Magic power is also power. “This coffin probably served that purpose.”
“Huh…”
Only then did an air of relief bloom around them. Since it was not a sacred object, there would be no divine punishment.
Ortel asked.
“But how did you know? “This thing is fake.”
“It’s the same as what the elders thought. Mystiltein is the weapon that killed the god Baldur. If this were really that branch, there would be no way that God Baldur would leave it alone.”
Frondier hid the fact that he knew Mystiltein’s true form.
Too much fact kills persuasiveness.
“And I’ve never heard of Mystiltein being kept in a coffin.”
“That’s right, but that’s all?”
What Frontier said now is something everyone knows.
The probability that this tree branch here was the real Mystiltein was definitely not high.
However, no matter how low the odds are, you should not gamble if your life is at stake.
If you are caught in the wrong punishment, pain worse than death awaits you.
“As I said before, I am not afraid of divine punishment. and.”
Frondier filled the glass bottle on the table with black water.
The water, which turns into metal when applied, was easier to contain in a glass bottle than expected.
And Frondier spoke with sunken eyes.
“I can’t stand the thought of something like this being exchanged for my father’s sword.”
Everyone was silent for a moment at those words.
But soon a loud laugh broke out.
“Khaha! I completely missed this. “I looked embarrassed in front of my younger friends.”
It was ‘Zodiac’ Heldre.
He let out a hearty laugh that wasn’t for his age and walked up to Frondier and placed his hand on her head.
“What did you say your name was?”
“This is Frontier.”
“Frondier, frontier. “I will never forget that name.”
After saying that, Heldre looked at Ampere.
“Ampere has a son with utmost filial piety.”
“—I don’t have anything to add.”
“Thanks to my son, I never had to give Gram away, so shouldn’t I give him a gift?”
Heldre’s eyes were filled with mischief that did not match his wrinkled face.
Ampere was not pleased at all.
“I was originally going to scold you sternly.”
“What? You heard it too, right? I’m not afraid of divine punishment. This is something no one here would dare say. Maybe even God wants such a bold young man.”
Ampere lowered his eyes for a moment.
As a result, it can be said that Frontier’s actions were correct. There was no need to sell Gram, and another conflict between the families was prevented.
Retrieving Mystiltein does not end there. Even so, there is no need to show unnecessary jealousy these days when attacks on families are becoming more frequent.
However,
“It’s too consequential to praise you, Frontier.”
“…Yes, sorry. father.”
“Your actions were very dangerous. It’s incomparable to before. Originally, I would hold you accountable and educate you so that you would not make such a mistake again. “Just count yourself lucky that you don’t do that.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Frontier bowed quietly.
Ampere sighed as he looked at that movement without even a hint of regret.
“However, if you consider the value of Gram, it is impossible to pass up like this.”
“Hoo?”
Ridwi added a useless chuimsae.
Ampere said:
“If there’s something you want, just tell me.”
At those words, Frondier’s eyes showed a look of bewilderment. It is a feeling that does not rarely appear in those insensitive eyes.
“Uh, then…”
Frondier put his hand to his mouth for a moment and seemed to think, then raised his face.
“I want to see Gram in person. “The inside of that scabbard.”
“Huh.”
“Oh my!”
There are brief exclamations of exclamation from people around you.
Ampere’s favorite item ‘Gram’.
It is a rare opportunity to witness it in person.
Everyone’s eyes lit up at Frontier’s suggestion.
“Is that okay?”
“of course.”
Ampere thought for a moment.
It’s hard to say it myself, but I feel like it’s not enough compensation for Frondier’s actions.
Ampere placed his hand on the placed gram.
A sword hidden in its scabbard.
Everyone was watching Ampere’s movements.
‘…how?’
But in that brief moment, only Queenie had other thoughts.
‘How did you break it?’
The frontier was bare.
I just placed my hand on the coffin and didn’t even hit it with my fist, but the coffin shattered in an instant.
Could it be magic? Without an order?
Otherwise…
‘He’s an Auror.’
Queenie swallowed her saliva.
Anyone who can emit aura with their bare hands is not at the level of a student.
However, I can’t be sure yet. If it’s an auror, it means that it released energy, but I couldn’t feel any energy flow.
However, if he had really just used the aura, it was a momentary release that no one else could feel.
No matter what happens, you have to attract them as allies.
No matter what you do.
The scabbard was heavily removed. The blade inside reflected the light.
“Hoo this is…!”
The nobles’ eyes lit up.
Gram, the famous sword of the hero Sigurd.
Despite his fame, Gram’s appearance was more rugged than expected.
There was a fairly beautiful pattern on the face of the sword, flowing like a wave, but it was not so beautiful that one would think it was the work of God.
however.
“….”
Silence fell in the audience.
This weapon cannot be judged simply by its external beauty.
It’s just sitting there, but it presses heavily on the air.
The blade is cool, and the blade feels like it was born in its original shape from top to bottom, with a concentrated power.
‘I know that I don’t use a sword. Indeed, the new material is different.’
Quinier was inwardly impressed.
It’s my nature to unconsciously try to put a price on this weapon, so I’ll skip it first.
What kind of expression did Frontier look like when he first spoke?
Curious about that, I turned my gaze and said,
“…!”
Queenie held her breath.
I thought he might have noticed my gaze, so I quickly looked away again.
‘What are those eyes?’
Frontier was also looking at Gram.
With a pure face. With pure eyes.
However, that ‘purity’ was far from peace.
Frondier was staring at Gram as if he were going to devour him. As if that could really happen.
The way those eyes lusted after Gram
was like eyes that violated a taboo.

“Have you heard the news about Aster?”
“huh? what?”
Aster responded to his friend Thane’s fuss.
Thane was a commoner like Aster, and the two quickly became friends.
Aster was so famous that Thane spoke to him almost like a fan, and he got along well with the good-natured Aster.
“Didn’t you see the news? “Mystiltein!”
“Ah… I fell asleep a little early yesterday.”
Aster spoke in an awkward voice and scratched his head.
It was a lie.
Elin took away my ticket to watch Wizard View, saying there was a romantic movie I had to watch starting last night.
But what we’re saying is
– it’s not ours anyway, so we’ll check later. There are many opportunities.
Damn it. When it comes to other people’s affairs, she is as rational as steel.
I can’t live or die from romance.
“Frondier broke the coffin!”
“…what?”
Aster’s eyes shook.
It’s not unpleasant or angry. Is Frontier alive? It was an expression of ominousness.
“Are you talking about the coffin that kept Mystiltain?”
“okay! No, it’s a little different!”
“What’s different?”
“When I heard about it, I heard it wasn’t Mystiltein. “It’s fake! It’s fake!”
Thane still spoke in a fussy voice.
However, if it’s really something like this, it’s worth making a fuss about.
It’s fake. Then there won’t be any punishment, so you don’t have to worry about Frontier
. “Just go. “So you’re saying Frontier knew about it?”
“Well, maybe there was still a part of me that believed it? Well, if it were me, I would never do it no matter what the basis for it!”
Yes. Who would do something crazy like that, no matter how serious the pain is?
…Then it wasn’t just a suspicion, but there was confirmation?
Only Frontier can know?
“…It’s fake.”
Aster’s eyes roll.
Frontier’s voice from the day before came to mind.
-Don’t worry, Aster Evans.
-I’ll take your worries away.
I believed that was a small consolation. I thought it was impossible.
No matter which family Mystiltein went to, Aster Evans would have felt like a sword had been placed in front of his heart.
But that’s right. Did you break that knife?
…Right.
* * *
I quietly looked at the pitch-black water lapping in a glass bottle inside my dormitory room.
A metal with viscoelasticity.
Inside the conference room, I focused all my attention on appearing indifferent to this.
As the game progresses, this fake Mystiltein is exchanged for Ampere’s Gram with a high probability.
Afterwards, it was briefly placed in a visible place in the Roach Mansion, but it was quickly discovered that it was a fake.
A spell without a magician has a limit on mana input, so the coffin breaks arbitrarily.
I actually don’t know where Gram will go after that. Because it was different every time I played the game.
However, it is a scary thing that will cause sub-events no matter who gets into its hands.
Now, I can say that I feel relieved that I am still in my father’s hands.
“Okay then.”
I placed the square frame on the desk. Then, the metal from the glass bottle was poured into the mold to fill it.
At the time I was playing the game, I thought, ‘What a subtle object.’ This metal.
It’s hard to say this, but originally, the only use for this metal would have been to ‘forge’ something, like imitating Mystiltein.
But if it’s Frontier, maybe.
It may raise the properties of this metal to over 100%.
I smiled without hiding my anticipation.
“From now on, I will refer to you as ‘Heukcheon’.”
I raised my hand over the black cloth inside the frame. The feeling of liquid without temperature is still very unfamiliar.
From now on, we will add ‘weaving’ to this black cloth.
Weaving (織造) Heukcheon (黑川)
Workshop
Grade 1 – Ordinary
iron dagger
The image of the dagger mounted in the workshop is engraved on the heukcheon.
As magical power was injected into the black sky, its shape changed.
And
“That’s it.”
There was a dagger in my clenched hand.
at las.
It is neither an illusion nor an image.
A black dagger that exists as a clear reality.
