The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 79
Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 79 Chapter
24 Tabern (1)
There was a strange silence within the Roach family mansion for several days.
Because Ampere was so low-pressure recently, everyone in the area was keeping quiet.
Before I knew it, the rumor had spread so much that most people knew that I was going to Tavern.
Sometimes, I feel strange when a maid passes me by and looks sad.
However, training with Atzie continued without any hesitation. Rather, it spurred on. I’m not going there to have fun, but in other people’s eyes, I’m going there to die. No amount of training is enough.
For your information, the sparring with Atjie was now becoming quite sparring. I don’t know if this is because my skills have improved or if I’m just getting used to Ajie.
“Frondier.”
During the sparring, Atjie put away his spear and said.
“I asked for a demonstration of Nakjang before.”
oh.
I looked at Atjie in anticipation of what he would say next.
“It’s faster to experience something than to test it.”
“Are you going to teach me?”
“I feel like my body is ready now. “No matter what we prepare at Tavern, it won’t be enough.”
Wise words.
Ajie gently held out the tip of the spear in front of me.
“But you would have already tried the rope.”
Atjie spoke as if he already knew what I was thinking.
Since I actually tested it, I couldn’t refute it.
“How was it? “Did you succeed?”
“We’re halfway successful.”
“What if it’s half?”
“I made my opponent lose his weapon, but I also let go of my weapon.”
I tried to throw a fall on Renzo.
It actually made me miss Renzo’s great sword, but when I fell, my body screamed and even I put down my weapon.
However, Ichae seemed young in Ajie’s eyes when I said that. What? Did I say something strange?
“Then show it now. “Get knocked out.”
“Now?”
“okay.”
I held out the short sword I was holding at the tip of Ajie’s spear. For reference, this sword is a real one made by Neil Jacques.
And the moment I unfolded my sword like I had originally done,
Ajie’s spear flew up and I was still holding my small sword.
“…uh?”
It was successful. Simply.
Atjie was looking at me as if it was natural.
“You said a little while ago that you even put down your weapon, right? Was it because of the pain?”
“yes. So I thought I would fail this time too.”
“The pain is because your body is not ready yet. If you make the opponent drop their weapon, the technique itself is successful. And your body is different now than it was then.”
Your body is ready. Atjie said so.
Atjie had predicted from the beginning that I would succeed.
In other words,
“You can now use ‘Nakjang’. “It’s clumsy, though.”
There was definitely one word I didn’t like about Ajie.

And the school vacation day.
It was really unexpected, but there were quite a few people who saw me off on my way to Tavern.
Teachers like Jane and Vinkis also passed by and said something to me.
It was partly because Elodie had spread it all within Constel, but it didn’t feel bad.
It was just oddly nerve-wracking that they all saw me off as if I was about to die.
“Frondier.”
After Teacher Jane’s short assembly, Aster came to the class.
Aster shook his head as if impressed or dejected.
“You can’t win. “How can you possibly go to a place like that?”
“I don’t know. “If I don’t come back, you will naturally win.”
Aster averted his gaze at my words. As if that could really be the case.
I was joking.
“Aster, where are you going?”
Aster’s plans during vacation.
Since Aster is the main character, players can freely set Aster’s plans.
Of course, when it comes to efficiency, it is limited to a few cases, but the current Aster cannot and cannot argue with such things.
Aster answered.
“I’m going to learn swordplay from my sister.”
“…To Senior Elin? “Wasn’t your senior supposed to be a professional intern?”
When I heard from Elin, she said she would be an intern at Eden Hamelot.
Aster answered as if it was no big deal.
“uh. So I go in there too.”
Huh, I opened my mouth.
Being a professional intern is not a position that is easily given. In the first place, it is a precious opportunity given only to third-year students who have proven their skills and grades.
As if 2nd grader Elin wasn’t enough, 1st grader Aster.
“I don’t think Eden Pro doesn’t care about that.”
“…That’s true.”
“uh? Do you know about Eden Pro?”
“No, I’m just saying that this is the image that seems to be the case if you listen to the rumors.”
I overlooked it, but of course I knew. Eden’s personality.
Eden is currently the No. 1 pro and has been in that position for a very long time.
However, for a person like that, he has a very ordinary impression. When not fighting, his mood is that of a criminal.
Personality: down-to-earth, simple, and optimistic. Anyway, it feels like they took all the simple things.
When that simplicity is taken to its extreme, it makes you feel that something is not normal.
Simple enough to sit in the imperial palace, simple enough to not mind sleeping on the street, optimistic enough to have a peaceful face even if the world were to end tomorrow.
Eden goes beyond the brightness index and has a mentality similar to the current of the deep sea. No matter how strong the waves are on the surface of the sea, they are as calm as those in the deep sea.
But this time, the almost abnormal ‘calmness’ helped.
In this world, Aster has a very just and boyish appearance, as if he were the real protagonist. Eden and Elin will help Aster grow in the best way.
“But Frontier.”
“huh?”
“Did you fight with Elodie?”
“why?”
“Whenever he talks about you, his expression turns grim.”
I could neither deny nor affirm that statement.
I haven’t seen Elodie since I told her I was going to the Tavern.
Since Elodie usually comes to visit me, it may be natural that I don’t meet her unless I’m looking for her. But it was strange that there wasn’t even a nose plug in sight.
I wondered if Elodie wasn’t at Constel because she was sick. It wasn’t visible enough to make me think that way.
But seeing Aster, who is in the same class, talk like this, I can only conclude one thing.
Elodie is avoiding me.
“Well, we didn’t fight. “To begin with, Elodie didn’t like me very much.”
“Huh…?”
Aster’s head tilted suspiciously.
The expression on his face was as if he was talking nonsense.
* * *
-No, I’m going to Tavern.
Frondier said that with a peaceful face.
There was not the slightest change in that languid face, so for a moment Elodie wondered if ‘Tavern’ was some famous resort.
Tavern.
Why would you dare walk into a hell that exists in reality?
“What are you thinking?”
Elodie is currently on the rooftop of a building in Constel.
Just recently, during a monster attack, a large group was wiped out here.
That was Frontier’s request. I tried to understand Frontier through that fight, but now I don’t know much more.
Elodie’s mind slowly traces Frondier’s actions after the monster attack.
Fireworks… Final exams… Joint attack with Aster…
…Mangot.
Mangot That ominous sound never leaves my mind.
I obviously couldn’t understand everything about what I overheard inside the nurse’s office, but it was clear that it was not complete.
But Frontier was as usual.
Elodie realized that it was the same as usual. She knows absolutely nothing about Frontier.
Looking at the same face as always, I couldn’t guess Mana Consumption, I couldn’t guess Mangot, and I couldn’t guess Tayvon.
She was confident that it was still the same Frondier she knew because the face of someone who had gone through something like that looked the same as usual.
…I don’t know anything.
There was no Frontier like he knew from the beginning.
Squeak─
Squeak.
The iron door on the rooftop suddenly opened.
But Elodie was not surprised. It wasn’t what I expected, but I knew who was there.
“I was looking for you.”
It was also Frontier.
“What are you doing?”
Elodie asked back bluntly. It’s not that I don’t want to see Frontier right now. No, I didn’t want to keep seeing you for these few days.
“I wanted to see my childhood friend off.”
“Who is your childhood friend?”
That’s true, but right now I felt like denying anything.
Hmm, Frondier made such a sound as if he was in trouble.
“I’m going to a dangerous place.”
I really couldn’t stand those words.
slap! Elodie turned around, her eyes burning. Literally, with the activation of ‘Igni’, a flame appeared in the eyes.
“Go to that place knowing that!!”
A voice that roared like a lion’s hoo struck the eardrums, and something passed by Frontier’s side.
The long trail running from Elodie right next to Frontier was completed as a path of flame.
Frondier blinked and saw a glowing flame to his left. Indeed, this is an attack that I can never avoid.
Elodie ambled over. The armpit she kicked made a hissing sound and exhaled smoke.
In other words, the flame just now is the result of the output being adjusted in its own way.
Frontier was honestly scary.
“Tavern? What about Taber?! What are you thinking about going there? Do you think the ‘outside’ is funny?! I feel like my skills have improved a bit these days. Is there anything you can see?! Wow, really, I was trying with superhuman patience to understand what you were doing? But I really don’t know! hey! What kind of childhood friend is a childhood friend? Are you a childhood friend only when I need you? “You never talk about important things first!”
Elodie felt something indescribable as she poured it out.
Before I poured it out, my head was in a mess and I didn’t even know what my own feelings were, but after shouting, I was able to get my mind in order.
Elodie, who had come close to Frontier, already looked like she was about to cry. No, tears actually came out of the corners of my eyes, but the immense heat evaporated them in an instant.
I felt a little less embarrassed.
“They said I look like you!”
Elodie said. I remember what Frontier once said.
As ‘Lishae’ and ‘Inies’, it was a small support for her as she faced loneliness as a shadow in her life.
“What a resemblance! I don’t understand at all! “I don’t know anything about you!”
Elodie tapped Frondier’s chest. The fire was gone and there was only one girl left.
“I don’t know. “I don’t know where you’re going or trying to go.”
As she spoke, Elodie realized something. What is your true intention?
Elodie was anxious about Frontier. It wasn’t just because I wanted to go to Tavern. This was just a trigger.
To Elodie, it seemed like Frondier was constantly dabbling in danger. What is the purpose? If it becomes really dangerous and if something happens.
“Elodie.”
Hearing Elodie’s cries, Frondier calmly said her name.
“why. “You damn bastard.”
“I meant it when I said you and I look alike.”
“So they don’t look alike at all.”
“That’s because I’m not as strong as you.”
Elodie raised her head in surprise. Frondier was calm as if he was saying something obvious.
“You don’t need to rush. Because you are strong enough and your talent will lead you to the light. But not me. I have to and will do whatever it takes to get through it. Same goes for Tavern. “It’s definitely risky, but it’s worth it.”
“…Why on earth are you so impatient? “Everyone else at Constell is focusing on their own training, so why do you have to do something so crazy?”
Elodie was confident while watching Frontier during the final exam.
Frontier is clearly starting to surpass Constell’s average skills. Considering that it was after he escaped from laziness, his growth rate was incredible.
So I believed that Frontier would be satisfied now. I thought the reason he was pushing himself so far was because he was lagging behind other students.
But what about Tavern?
“It’s what I need. That’s all.”
“…That’s all, and you’re prepared to die?”
“Who dies?”
Frontier said that calmly and seemed to be just reciting facts.
“I’ll be back without any problems.”
