Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 166 Chapter

54 Remnants of Talent (3)

I looked around as I was sorting out the goblins one by one.

I thought I had raised my spirits by taking classes and training at Constel, but right now, it was impossible for me to find out where the criminal was watching.

I have no choice but to leave it to Gregory.

‘by the way.’

Without getting tired of it, I briefly glanced at the goblins, whose eyes were flashing with a sinister spirit. Now there are three left. There seemed to be no fear of death, but there seemed to be hesitation.

He seemed to know that if he recklessly attacked him like this, he would surely die.

‘I don’t think I’ve completely lost my senses.’

There is something I learned after the previous Golem incident, Hephaestus’ intervention with Edwin, and Serph’s business card incident.

Controlling someone is not that easy.

Edwin mistakenly thought that his mind had changed, but there was a clear trigger called me, and the instigator in the first place was ‘God’.

Serf’s business card has a definite effect in terms of ‘control’, but it does not move unless commanded, and even at a glance, it is clear that it is being controlled.

‘These guys are neither.’

I’m not completely sane. But it doesn’t look like a doll either. There is a clear desire to kill me, and although the focus is blurred, it attacks at its own will. There is no sign of anyone giving orders.

It is a way to temporarily increase only one emotion.

‘…Are you drunk?’

Sigh! Phew!

I killed a nearby goblin by piercing its neck and chest, and briefly saw the black cloth on its body.

‘Sometime.’

Just a little bit because you don’t want to notice.

I tried reacting the black cloth using ‘weaving’.

‘…It works.’

The moment I saw the black cloth on them moving, I quickly canceled weaving.

Seeing as my weave reacts perfectly, it’s clearly black cloth on these guys.

And although it was somewhat expected, I felt a bit of resistance. Since black water is originally a liquid, it needs to be continuously treated with magical power to use it in this way.

‘I succeeded easier than I thought.’

It may have been successful in weaving through the opponent’s magic power, but the resistance was not very great. It seemed like my weaving had a stronger effect.

I don’t want to describe it like a game, but it felt like a rating advantage.

“Whoa.”

After killing the remaining goblins, I sighed.

It wasn’t that big of a deal that they interfered with my mind, left me alone, and attacked me.

‘In my heart, I want to retrieve the Black Heaven right away.’

Let’s postpone it for now.

You can’t do anything foolish until you know its identity and purpose.

Anyway, what I’m trying to get is the fragments of Helheim. If you think about it, the black cloth left behind by the goblins here is nothing more than a handful.

“Then the way back is…”

I came to my senses and remembered the path I had taken to get here.

I remembered everything, including the direction, location and distance of the accommodation. It seemed like the mental interference had been lifted.

Even so, my body is still in disrepair after being beaten sequentially by the knights. I guess I’ve grown quite a bit since I killed the goblin using only combat skills without any weaving.

…Or are the goblins of this world weaker than those in the game? I don’t know because I met him for the first time today.

* * *

“Did you find it?”

[Of course.]

The crow said confidently.

What Gregory saw was a girl sitting on a tree. I found myself hiding and witnessing my battle.

[She was a woman who hid her presence well. He looked quite young.]

“How young was he?”

[He looked about the same age as you.]

“…Is that young?”

[How old do you think you are?]

I was 17.

Okay, I forgot about it for a moment. Frontier is a first year student at Constel. Let’s not forget.

“I guess they didn’t notice your presence, right?”

[You did see me. Because it’s a crow. But you would never dream that you were being watched. My skills have never been at the mercy of anyone. Even ‘Inies’ didn’t get caught.]

When you say Inies, do you mean Elodie?

“You got caught. “I heard Elodie knew.”

[It was because of the gaze! If Serph hadn’t been so stubborn in telling me to spy on him, I could have gotten away with it. And I felt the gaze, but I didn’t see through its identity. That’s the extent of my abilities.]

Gregory stood stretched out, as if he felt immense pride in his abilities. It was unlucky and laughable for the crow to do that.

“What about the outfit?”

[It was nothing special. It was an outfit that could be worn anywhere in Jeranhes. But the face is instantly recognizable if not for the mask. It’s not a good face to secretly practice.]

“Why?”

[He had an extremely outstanding appearance. It wasn’t a face that looked cheap, like a prostitute’s, but a face so clean and dignified that you could believe it was a famous knight, but at the same time pitiful. He had green eyes and blonde hair. Even if it were an elf that disappeared a long time ago, he would have nodded.]

An extremely outstanding appearance.

I haven’t seen a face like that since I came to Gjerranhes.

But if your clothes are plain, it’s probably okay.

“It must be somewhere around here.”

[okay. And it is highly likely that they are wearing masks on a regular basis, not just those who are working. I’m doing the opposite of the typical kids who do after-hours work. If you live your daily life looking too good-looking, you will get caught up in a lot of troublesome things.]

Hmm.

Of course, I wouldn’t have suddenly started wearing a mask when I came. It must have been like that from the beginning.

In other words, does it feel like someone from the back world is active in Jeranhes on a mission and I unexpectedly intruded there?

“…Is the purpose Ampere?”

[Why?]

“Even if you blend into everyday life, you can’t stay in the same position for long if your main job is crime. So, finish the mission as short as possible. Coincidences where my coming here just happens to be in his way don’t happen easily. “Perhaps the reason he came to Jeranhes is not far beyond my expectations.”

Ampere comes to the end of this wall every winter to block it. This is the same whether I come or not.

In other words, my meeting with him was not just a coincidence.

Originally, he started his mission with the goal of Ampere, but unexpectedly, this time he came to Geranhes as well, so my presence suddenly became a hindrance. It is appropriate to think this way.

[I see.]

“Why are you acting surprised? “You were thinking similarly.”

[No, that can’t be possible. I went beyond that thought and thought that if Ampere was really his goal, it would not be murder. First of all, if it is not feasible and the goal is to kill Ampere, it makes no sense for you, who have almost no contact, to get in the way. You and I had completely different thoughts.]

This bastard.

I was a little upset, but I moved on because he was saying the right thing. I guess that would be helpful to Gregory in his own way.

I said, as another thought occurred to me.

“And there are a few things I learned while dealing with the goblins.”

[What is it?]

“I think the black sky is probably not the fragment of Helheim itself.”

[Why do you think that?]

“If that’s the case, there’s no way the fragments of Helheim are trapped in the glacier.”

[…Hoo.]

This is a question I had before coming to Jeranhes.

If, as prison warden Esther said, the fragments of Helheim are something like ‘a huge lake trapped in a glacier’.

Why was Black Heaven, a part of it, discovered in the dungeon in the form of a fake Mystiltein and now in my hands?

At first, I thought that the fragments of Helheim were not completely trapped and that there was an open area somewhere. Or it’s literally cracked and leaking.

But then, more Heukcheon would have had to be discovered. In the game, Black Heaven has never appeared except during the ‘Noble Meeting’. Of course, when it was played as a game, it was just ‘black water’ and it wasn’t even named ‘black water’.

“What was on the goblin was definitely black cloth. The fragments of Helheim and the Black Sky are definitely not related. But they are not completely the same. Leftovers from doing something with the fragments of Helheim? “I think it might be something like that.”

When I fight, I use all of the black cloth menosorpo, etc. to fight. This is because they complement each other’s limitations.

On the contrary, when each of these is viewed separately, its use is extremely ambiguous.

Weaving was originally about creating an illusion, and without weaving, black cloth is an unprocessable metal menosorpho that only hardens when pressed against a liquid material. In fact, someone other than me might have used it better.

I am using it as a set, but these three are not actually a set. Things that are unrelated to each other.

Looking at it that way, the black cloth clearly could not be said to be a valuable item.

A characteristic that is impossible for a metal that is liquid when it is still but turns into a hard solid when force is applied. Even though it has such strange magical characteristics, Black Heaven has low value.

In other words, isn’t there a ‘real’ one that has the same magical characteristics as the Black Sky?

[That’s a fragment of Helheim?]

“That’s what I think.”

I took out the black lotus necklace and looked at it for a moment.

The new black lotus that Edwin Binkis Dowd is creating now is completely recreated from zero, so this black lotus was not needed right now. Thanks to you, I was able to get it.

The black water and black water contained within it. I have received a lot of help from this guy so far.

As with weaving in the beginning, I don’t know anything about black cloth yet.

It’s time to find out.

“I don’t know why he attacked me and why he showed it by covering the goblin with black cloth.”

I don’t like being targeted blindly.

If there is someone targeting me, I just create a reason to target them as well.

And the reason was clear to him.

“It seems like you like testing.”

So, wouldn’t you be happy if you were the one being tested rather than testing others?

I won’t disappoint you.

* * *

The next day, I headed to the barracks as usual.

In other words, attacking me means that they confirmed my appearance somewhere. We may have made eye contact, said hello, or passed each other.

As Gregory said, a woman with outstanding appearance would naturally wear a mask while working.

“Silvain, I have a question for you.”

“what?”

As a test, I used the skill ‘Analysis’ on the Sylvanian.

[Silvain]

– The leader of the ‘Knights of Roach’.

– An elite who caught the eye of Ampere early on due to his excellent skills, reputation, and strong beliefs. His belief in the safety of citizens will not be bent, even if it may be broken.

– I recently became interested in Frontier and want to teach him. 15% chance of being invited to join.

– He was originally left-handed, but changed to right-handed through correction. It happened when I was so young that I don’t remember it. If you hold the sword with your left hand, you will achieve higher growth.

“If I hold a sword in both hands, do I have to decide which hand to use to block?”

“First of all, I don’t recommend it, but if you have to do it, it’s better to decide. If a sword is held in the hand that should hold a shield, the sword must serve both as a check and as a defense. And it shouldn’t get in the way of the sword in the other hand.”

Sylvain answered my questions faithfully.

It seemed like he didn’t notice the ‘analysis’. This was the same as when ‘analyzing’ Selena. Analysis goes unnoticed by others.

In the process of analyzing Sylvaine, I learned some unexpected information, but that’s for later.

‘Okay then.’

I don’t know who the culprit is.

Let me introduce you to a simpler way to find out someone’s identity.
