Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 11 Chapter

3 Destiny Manipulation (2)

After class.

Frontier and Cybel Aster were sitting together in the campus cafe.

Cybel was sitting at the round table, rolling her eyes and looking at both sides alternately.

Sitting in front of her are the most reputable guy and the bad guy in first grade.

Astor Evans is a man of strong spirit and talent who is well-liked by both teachers and students.

Frontier de Roach is lazy, sleeps all class, and has no strength or talent.

Just the two of them being together attracts all the attention in the cafe, and Cybel notices them for no reason.

The reason all the attention was drawn was because Cybel was also involved, but she couldn’t guess that far.

“Aster, why did you single me out?”

Frontier’s languid lips opened.

That question was something that Cybel was curious about as well, so her gaze naturally shifted to Aster.

However, Aster widened his eyes as if the question was unexpected.

“Why did you help me?”

“I?”

“Mistiltain. “Because it eased my worries.”

“…It was a worry that would disappear someday, but what?”

Frontier sighs.

“Oh, I heard that too.”

Cybel said with sparkling eyes.

Frondier’s actions at the noble meeting were a very famous incident.

The so-called human sloth Frontier’s abusive speech incident.

A ridiculous act committed at a gathering of the most prestigious families in the empire.

Everything from pretentious statements about not being afraid of divine punishment to reckless words and actions that destroyed traded products.

As a result, although Frontier’s actions were beneficial to the family, the actions themselves were seen as mere recklessness.

“Frondier, aren’t you really afraid of divine punishment?”

Cybel asked.

It was not a sign of ridicule or contempt, but pure curiosity.

Frontier looked at Cybel and answered.

“huh.”

“…end?”

“huh?”

Cybel pursed his lips at the too brief answer.

“It’s too dangerous to say something just because you want to show off.”

“What kind of form do you have in a situation like that?”

I know.

It doesn’t seem like he really wanted to show off his form.

“Okay, let’s skip that story for now. There’s something else to talk about today.”

Aster spoke as if to brighten up the surroundings.

Saibel said.

“A third grader and a teacher who will accompany you. “You were deciding who it would be, right?”

Yes. There was a reason why these three got together.

The number of people exploring the dungeon is 5. At least two of them must include a third grader and a teacher.

“Who should it be? Teachers are generally cooperative, but there are many third graders who refuse. Because my work is busy and annoying. “Shouldn’t we write down a list from the beginning, assuming there will be rejections?”

Soon, Cybel and Aster mentioned several third-year seniors.

Seibel was diligently writing down a list of the people mentioned.

Meanwhile, Frontier was just silent.

The reason these two didn’t ask Frondier was because they knew he had a reputation for being lazy, but also because he looked surprisingly deeply troubled.

“…I am.”

And after much deliberation, Frondier’s mouth opened.

“Senior Queenie.”

“…huh?”

Aster asked back.

“If you are Senior Quinier, then Quinier de Viette?”

“huh.”

Frontier nodded, and Aster and Cybel’s eyes met.

Quinier de Viet.

A genius who revived a family that was on the verge of collapse at a young age of less than 20.

People call her ‘Little Devil Queenie’ for her cool-headedness, ruthless determination, and genius commercial ability.

Frontier said:

“how is it? “If you build a relationship with senior Queenie from now on, it will be of great help in the future.”

“That’s true, but…”

The two of them smiled in agreement, but with a shocked expression on their faces.

Cybel spoke honestly.

“…I don’t think it will help.”

Yes. Among these, there is no one who is close to Queenie.

Moreover, Quinier is the type of person who is very thorough in calculating profits and losses. This is not someone who will just ask you to accompany them to a dungeon party.

I need to come up with something worth it.

“As far as I know, Queenie doesn’t like ‘trauma’ or ‘debt.’ “Just saying I’ll repay you for accompanying me to the dungeon later won’t work.”

Aster nodded in agreement with Cybel’s words.

At that time, Frondier’s drowsy eyes tilted for a moment.

“If I bring Senior Queenie, neither of us will have any complaints, right?”

“…Frondier, are you going to do something reckless again?”

Aster’s expression hardened.

Frondier smiled at that worried face.

‘oh.’

Cybel was a little surprised by that smile.

Frondier’s appearance itself is a model of a luxurious nobleman, so it is quite enjoyable to see a smile on that languid face.

“don’t worry. “I will make a proper deal and come back.”

* * *

After saying goodbye to Aster Cybel, I headed to school.

When I saw them exchanging numbers on their phones, I remembered that I didn’t have a phone.

Just as there are products that imitate TVs like ‘WizerView’, Etius has something called ‘Sage Phone’ that imitates smartphones.

Everyone just calls it ‘Phone’. If you have a phone, you can freely use phone calls or text messaging.

However, Frontier does not have a Sage phone. Neither his older brother, Adji, nor his father, Ampere, is present.

Ampere is an old-timer, but his way of thinking is even older, so he is not interested in such things, and Azier feels like he doesn’t use it because his father doesn’t use it.

However, as I need to help Aster, I desperately need a Sage phone.

You can make or receive emergency calls and easily check your location.

“hmm.”

I stopped in front of a classroom. That alone makes me feel like the attention and noise surrounding me has doubled.

Let’s ignore it.

When the door creaked open, several students inside turned their gaze in this direction.

There were definitely a few of them at first, and they were so surprised that they shook the friend next to them, pointed in this direction, and openly shouted, ‘Look at that!’, making the people around them look this way as well.

So in the end, everyone looked.

…Let’s get rid of it quickly.

I approached a woman. Of course she was looking at me too. With a very puzzled face.

“I found it, Senior Queenie.”

“…Are you out of your mind?”

‘Little Devil’ Queenie.

She always had a relaxed smile on her face, but seeing her flustered face was quite amusing.

“I saw you last time at the Miller family mansion, right? “I don’t think I was able to say hello properly back then.”

“There is no need. If you want to make a connection with me, send the corresponding amount of money to my family account. “Don’t draw attention to me.”

Queenie waved her fan while making a fuss.

I brought my face closer to her. I could hear people around me saying things like ‘Kyaaaah!’ or ‘Oh my gosh’ and sounds of intake of breath.

Queenie also froze.

I whispered into her ear.

“I would like to sell information to Quinier de Viette.”

At those words, Quinier’s flapping hands stopped. She looked at me with sunken eyes.

She had already become the head of the Viet family, not a student.

“I don’t like nonsense.”

“So do i.”

“…That’s not something to talk about here, is it?”

I nodded once, turned around and walked away. Even without turning around to check, I could hear Queenie’s footsteps following me.

The whispering noises around me were much louder.

* * *

“So what is it?”

I moved to an empty classroom.

Queenie thoroughly used the magic ‘Wind Whispers’ to prevent our voices from leaking out. It was something I also welcomed.

I closed my eyes for a moment.

It’s best to become friends with Queenie as quickly as possible. It’s the same for me and Aster.

This is an advantage for Queenie, but what is more important is that she is a ‘trustworthy person’.

At Etius, having someone you can trust and have your back is more important than anyone else.

But there isn’t much I can offer her now.

But just one thing. I have information that would absolutely tempt Queenie.

I thought for a moment about how to say this most effectively, then opened my mouth.

“The monster from ‘outside’ is coming.”

“…!”

Queenie’s expression hardened.

The monster outside.

As I said before, in the world of Etius, the human realm is insignificant. It is difficult for the current human race to catch the monsters within its territory.

‘Outside’ literally means outside the realm of humanity. The monsters lurking there are different from the monsters inside.

She turned a suspicious look at me.

“If you say something like that, won’t it just end?”

“But if you let it, it really never ends.”

Queenie glared into my eyes. As if you could read my inner thoughts that way.

I accepted that look as is.

“Third years have a mission coming up, right? For temporary professional experience.”

“…How do you know that?”

“There you will face the monsters ‘out there.’”

“…some?”

Quinier requested details of the information before confirming its authenticity.

That’s right.

I stretched out my index finger.

“There is one.”

“…one? “You mean it’s just one?”

“yes. An exceptionally weak individual among the group of the outside world. A loser who was unable to survive the group life and fell away. “I’m going to face him.”

Queenie blinked at my words. He looked like he didn’t know how to react.

I smiled softly.

“It doesn’t sound that dangerous, does it?”

“…To be honest, yes. I have never encountered any monsters outside. But you’re a loser with only one horse. Doesn’t being afraid of that mean ignoring professionals?”

“That thought is not wrong. “An entity that is that inferior can be easily defeated with just one professional.”

“Then why-”

“Because the mission that Queenie senior was to be sent was not for him in the first place.”

Queenie’s eyes widened at my words. As expected, Queenie is quick to guess.

Nevertheless, I continued speaking because speaking directly is effective.

“Many people will die. Even though the monsters on the ‘outside’ are of the same species as the monsters on the inside, they are much stronger and more cunning than anything else. You will stay hidden and fight people from far away, out of sight of the professional. “Until the moment a professional discovers it.”

“…oh.”

Queenie, who had been listening quietly, raised one corner of her mouth.

“There are a lot of third graders. There are also ordinary people at the experience location. Among them, what are the chances of me getting hit by that guy? A pro will find him before then. All I have to do is dodge while other people get hit. Besides, you already gave me all the information, what do you need me to give you?”

I don’t care about other people’s deaths. I don’t care as long as my safety is guaranteed.

A cold-hearted person who only thinks about money and power to build his family.

‘Little Devil’ Queenie. …

She is the matriarch of Viet

because she is so good at acting like that .

“I know his weakness. “That’s the information I’m going to sell.”

“…!”

Queenie’s eyes wavered.

If she really intended to run away and hide herself among the people, this information would mean nothing.

What good is knowing your weaknesses? It’s okay if you keep running away.

But Queenie was shaken.

It was just a lie that she was sacrificing others.

I lowered my eyes. It’s painful to see Quinier’s bravado anymore.

“You don’t like seeing people die.”

“…! “What are you all…!”

“I have a medium through which I can obtain my own information. “That’s how I found out this information.”

Memories of the Etius game played countless times in the real world. To me, there is no medium more accurate than this.

Queenie bit her lower lip at my words. I think I can hear her head spinning.

Quinier looked straight at me and said.

“so? What do you want? “Is it money?”

Cool and fast.

He must have decided that establishing a business relationship with me would be more beneficial than the possibility of me lying.

“no. We had the opportunity to enter the lower level dungeon this time. “Would you please accompany me?”

“…is that okay?”

Queenie asked back as if she were suspicious.

I smiled.

Quinier hates deals that are too beneficial to him. This is because of the suspicion that there is a hidden defect of some kind.

“And I need a few things.”

Because I said. To do a fair deal with her.

Actually, from my perspective, this is the main point.

Now that I have successfully completed Gram’s weaving, even though it is incomplete, I have a lot of things I need.

“thing?”

“yes. First of all, you need items that can increase your total mana amount. “Elixir, artifact, anything is fine.”

“…Suddenly you want something big. “Is there anything else?”

“Another one is an ornament that can hold water. I wish it could be worn on the body and be easy to take out or contain water. And the inside should not be visible.”

“It’s a strange spell. “It would be better to just carry a water bottle.”

“I want it to be very, very easy to take out and put in.”

Queenie tilted her head even further and looked at me as if I was looking at a strange person. But I also had nothing more to say.

Accessories that can hold water are actually meant to contain ‘black water.’

The more I said it, the more likely Queenie would find out, so I just changed it to water.

“great. Two of those are enough, right? “We promise to provide it in the name of the Viet family.”

“thank you.”

“so? “What is your weakness?”

“There is no weakness.”

I paused when something occurred to me.

Quinier’s brows narrowed.

“what? “You’re not saying you’re going to do something that never happened now, are you?”
