Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 73 Chapter
22 Final Exam (2)
Aten and Quinier closed the distance between each other and were wary of the golems creeping up from all directions.
[Hehe, you guys fell into the teacher’s trap? Well, I had no choice but to get caught!]
Vinkiss seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
It would be similar to the feelings of a child touching an expensive robot for the first time. Actually, it’s not that different.
Quinier, with his back to Aten, shouted to Frondier.
“Frondier! “Is this the golem you dealt with?”
“It looks a little different. It’s probably an improved version. “I also see kids with weapons other than spears.”
These two have never dealt with a golem before, but just looking at them doesn’t look easy.
I heard that Quinier combined Atzier’s technology with the golem, and if that’s true, it’s quite a challenge.
[Hehe, this Azi Mk. 2 means. In addition to Ajie’s special technique, we focus on the basic principles of the spear he uses]
Kwadeuk!
however.
A violent sound was heard that seemed to cut off the tension between the two.
In front of Frondier, there was a sword stuck on the head of the golem that was carrying Edwin.
The simple, unadorned sword nevertheless gave it a somewhat antique and old-fashioned feel.
‘That black…!’
Queenie widened her eyes.
She knows the identity of that sword. Because it is the sword that attracted the attention of all the famous nobles gathered together.
‘It’s him!’
How come Frontier has Gram?
I wasn’t able to see the process of taking it out properly because I was paying attention to the golems around me, but I am certain that Gram is stuck in the golem’s head.
‘The head of Roach gave Gram to Frondier?’
According to the information Quinier knows, Frondier is a child from the Roach family.
I heard that matriarch Ampère does everything she can just for Ajie.
Was that actually false information and Frontier was also paying attention?
Buuk Frondier slashed the sword at the golem diagonally. The golem’s face was torn to the point where the original was unrecognizable due to the sword being forcibly pulled out.
[hey! Frontier! What are you doing?]
Before those words were even finished, Frondier’s sword completely blew off the golem’s head.
Very faithfully, Frontier received Edwin, who was slowly leaning on top of him.
“You just have to land.”
“Because I’m a hostage.”
Is this honesty also a manifestation of character? Frondier smiled bitterly and left Edwin in the care of Quinier.
“First of all, the safety of the hostages. Senior Aten and Queenie, please take the hostages and avoid them.”
“What about you?”
“After rescuing people, we have to deal with monsters.”
At those words, Quinier looked at Frondier with suspicious eyes.
“…Are you alone?”
“yes. “That’s the best.”
[hey! Who just let it go?!]
At that time, one of the nearby golems made Vinkis’ voice again. It seemed that if one golem was damaged, it would be transferred to another golem.
The ‘gram’ that Frondier was holding turned into liquid and flowed out. Frontier had no intention of hiding it. Queenie looked at that in a daze.
I’ve seen that liquid too. That was the identity of the fake Mystiltein. What did they say that it was a metal with ‘viscoelasticity’?
“I am no match for all the teachers.”
Frontier has grown a lot so far, but it is definitely still below the level of Constell’s teachers.
However, only for Vinkiss.
Vinkis, who mainly uses summoning and golem training, can deal with Frondier.
He knows the attack patterns of almost all monsters.
“If I do well, I can become Mr. Binkis’ nemesis. So let’s go.”
“…good.”
Quinier couldn’t completely get rid of his doubts, but he and Aten walked with Edwin in tow.
Of course, if this were a real fight, I would never have left Frontier behind, but the opponent is a teacher.
Are you really going to kill Frontier?
[Who said they sent it?]
Two golems blocked the path.
Quinier held up a fan. If Frontiere attracts the attention of most golems, she will be able to break through if she uses her skills and force.
“Menosorpo.”
But even that seems unnecessary.
Immediately after Frondier recited something, two spears appeared in the air in front of Aten and Quinier.
With a crunching sound, each one pierced the golem’s head and heart.
As if that was the end, the two golems collapsed in vain.
“…what is this?”
“Let’s go.”
A gentle but firm word from Frontier.
Queenie and Aten were embarrassed, but nodded and ran with Edwin.
[Frondier has become quite arrogant? While studying, I lived like a rat. Where is the ‘human sloth’?]
It’s arrogant.
It certainly was. It was different from the previous Frontiers.
Weaving is the starting point for all means of attack. Heukcheon, the source of material creation. And even Menosorpho.
Unlike before, Frontier did not hide it but showed it.
…What does excommunication mean to ‘Frondier de Roach’?
There is nothing to think about.
Elimination from the race goes beyond simply failing to improve specs.
The possibility of protecting this world is reduced to zero, and the only result is a tragic ending for humanity being slaughtered by monsters.
In other words, ‘appropriate results’ were not a consideration in this practical exercise.
so that.
“Please understand.”
Frontier materialized four short swords around himself.
The four swords floating in all directions spun around like tops. Even at a glance, it doesn’t end once you get there. Even if it’s the golem that Vinkis is proud of.
Let’s slightly change the perception of ‘Frondier’ as we know it in Constel.
Even if it’s not actual power, it’s enough to be thought of as power.
“I’m getting a little tired of that nickname.”
* * *
While Frontier sent Aten and Quinier to deal with Vinkis alone, a
quite different atmosphere was developing on Aster’s side.
‘…Where is the victim station?’
Aster was looking at the location where Teacher Jane was hidden.
Thanks to Elodie, the location of the teacher playing the role of the ‘monster’ was discovered, but the student playing the ‘victim role’ was nowhere to be seen.
Jane stood still and looked around with a relaxed expression.
‘We must attack.’
Aster made up his mind.
If this were a real situation.
Aster discovered the monster, but the monster did not recognize Aster yet.
It is right to surround and deal with the monsters at once.
Even if the victim somewhere here becomes a hostage, Aster would be faster than him at this distance.
Elodie and Theo are surrounding Jane from different positions. It was decided in advance that Aster would lead the charge.
‘good. ‘Because it’s so flashy, you’ll have to give up concealing it.’
Baldur Aster, the ruler
of
light and justice,
released his divine power and charged at the same time.
Aster’s sprint, clad in white light, was reminiscent of a lion.
However.
“Stop. Aster.”
That voice wasn’t Jane’s. It was heard from Aster’s right.
Of course, Aster wasn’t going to stop with words like that. But Aster looked sideways to see who was talking like that.
And Aster stopped.
“…What is this?”
Aster was truly dumbfounded and asked that question.
As he looked, there was Ajie in front of him.
It’s a mission that won’t be easy even with Jane alone, but even Azie.
Moreover, Ajie was holding Theo in her arms.
Theo, who was on the same team as Aster, became a hostage in an instant.
“Why but?”
Ajie spoke with emotionless eyes.
“There’s just one more monster.”
When Aster heard Ajie’s words,
he thought it was nonsense.
* * *
“So it was calculated from the beginning?”
“Yes. “Because teachers clearly know where each team is located.”
Question from Eden Hamelot. It was Elin who answered.
After Eden took Elin in as an intern, the two developed a relationship similar to that of a priest and were acting together.
“So teachers are intentionally placed close to each team. The most difficult teacher for that team to deal with is ‘Monster Station’. In other words, each student now faces their own ‘virtual natural enemy.’”
“That’s why the alarms go off at the same time. So that the first-year teams naturally distance themselves from each other.”
“Yes. Well, since the practical skills are competitive anyway, there is no way the first year students will suddenly form an alliance. Let’s address the closest alarm first and move on immediately. “This must have been what first graders thought.”
“…But the reality is that not a single mission can be solved.”
After hearing Elin’s explanation, Eden was impressed, but also stuck his tongue at Constell’s vicious personality.
It makes it seem like the team that solves more alarms gets the higher score, but presents tasks that are impossible for students to solve.
In other words, students are virtually destined to fail this practical exam.
The original purpose was to teach ‘failure’.
“How do you know this?”
“Because I’ve been through it. Last year.”
“So you’re saying you also failed the mission you were given?”
“No one was successful. “The goal was to make it impossible in the first place.”
Elin was calm as she said that. Eden asked after seeing that.
“Aren’t you angry? “The teachers tricked the students and forced them to lose.”
“But thanks to you, I have become stronger.”
indeed. Is this the mentality of Elin Evans?
Elin says she became stronger thanks to Constell, but perhaps the biggest force that made her stronger was herself.
But a strange question arises there. Eden asked.
“So you’re saying that the upperclassmen who were scouted for the first-year team also know that fact?”
“yes. Both the scouted upperclassmen and the hostage students know this. The only thing we don’t know is the first year students who will taste defeat.”
“…That’s cruel.”
“Still, upperclassmen will do their best to help first-year students. As Eden said, there are many upperclassmen who take apart what happened back then, and from their perspective, ‘scout’ is another word for ‘revenge.’”
However, it is forbidden to reveal the fact that this is a mission that first-year students are supposed to lose.
As long as they stick to that, upperclassmen can help first-year students as much as they want.
“Then, that is also the reason why Atjie and Jane teamed up on the Aster team.”
“yes. Of course, Teacher Jane can do it on her own. But as you said, those two have the potential to cause something to happen, so I prepared one more person.”
So Ajie and Jane are a team.
At this point, difficulty isn’t even a concept. Eden said with a bitter smile.
“The addition seems too powerful to say so simply.”
“Because the goal is to bring despair to students.”
As he said, the situation of the Aster team shown on the screen was not good.
Theo is ambushed by Atzie and taken hostage, and with the hostage present, Elodie’s power is halved.
No matter how much Aster he is, it won’t be easy to deal with Ajie and Jane alone. Moreover, Ajie is even holding hostage.
“In other words, we believed that that level of investment was necessary to ensure Aster’s failure.”
“yes. “But thanks to you, there is something that Constel’s teachers overlooked.”
“Overlooked?”
“Among the first years over there, there’s only one student who’s still hiding his skills, right?”
“…ah.”
The two paid attention to the screen.
Now, the screen is focused on the confrontation between Aster and Ajie.
But somewhere that is not visible on this screen.
There is an ‘unusual’ that the teachers could not imagine than the team-up between Aster and Elodie.
