The Academy’s Weapon Replicator Chapter 4

Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 4 Chapter

1 Human Sloth Frontier (3)

Kwasik!

“You got it right!”

I clenched my fists when I saw the broken target.

This is the training room.

Some do muscle training, some do magic tests, and some do skill verification.

Anyway, there is an empty room and anyone can use it freely as long as they give permission.

Since the inside situation is not visible from the outside, weaving can be done to your heart’s content here.

What I’m doing right now is targeting, which is one of the programs set up in my private room.

This facility is usually used by people with long-range weapons, and all you have to do is hit a target that can be seen from afar.

At the lowest difficulty, the target just stands still, but as the difficulty increases, the target moves further away, hides, appears, moves at will, or even reacts to projectiles and dodges.

Of course, I am humbly playing on the lowest difficulty level.

For reference, the target is a magic engineering hologram, so breaking it doesn’t mean it’s really broken.

The sound effects and graphics are just very believable.

If you succeed in hitting the target, the hit area and damage are displayed, which is very convenient.

What I am currently practicing is the throwing technique of a woven dagger.

As long as you bring out the phenomenon of hitting the target at the moment of hitting, you can inflict damage to the enemy even by throwing a woven dagger.

So-called invisible long-distance attacks become possible.

Weaving intervenes in reality only for a moment. It only appears briefly at the moment of cutting, blocking, and stabbing.

So in close combat, weaving ability is halved. This is because even blocking an opponent’s attack only takes a moment.

If you do not deflect or deflect at the moment of blocking, the enemy’s sword will pierce your weapon or shield and cut your body.

This is the same whether it is a shield or a sword. If you have a shield, you must parry every moment of the opponent’s attack, just like in a game. If you have a sword, you must not block it clumsily, but throw away or block all of them.

I don’t want to engage in close combat at such an insane level of difficulty.

So, whether it’s a bow, a dagger, or anything else, it’s best if you can defeat the opponent just by attacking him from afar.

But there is one fatal problem with this tactic.

“…It doesn’t really fit.”

Just myself.

Me, a game addict, and Frontier, who just slept.

It seems like the pair’s damn good senses create a synergy that makes you shiver.

Still, if you grit your teeth like this and get it right at least once out of ten or once out of twenty times.

[Skill has been created.]

[Created skill: Throwing]

[Throwing]

Grade: General

Description: Throws an object and hits it. The higher the skill level, the more accuracy you receive.

Current proficiency:

Obtain the lowest level skill.

It may be insignificant, but Frontier and I cannot be expected to have any talent in combat, so we have to rely on our skills.

For reference, even a child around 10 years old can achieve the lowest level of throwing skill if he or she works hard.

…you can do it!

The evening when the moon was cut into a crescent moon.

After finishing practice and leaving the training room, I stood still in front of the entrance. And watched the time go by. Because there is something that needs to be checked.

Because I was so crazy right after entering this game, no, I was already crazy when I entered it. No, I am a crazy person to begin with

… Anyway.

Because I had such a hectic day, there was something I forgot for a moment.

I didn’t think about it at first. But once a thought occurred to me, it grew uncontrollably.

I have to check it out today.

I am waiting for someone now.

The reason I wait in the training room is because I know he will definitely be here.

I checked the date on my smartwatch and it was definitely today. The time has come.

Jiying –

The automatic door to the training room opened.

I looked at the man who came out of it.

…found.

The blond hair that clearly reflects the moonlight, the bright blue eyes, and the facial features are as neat as if they were made that way.

Anyone who sees this man will notice that the air around them changes.

──Aster Evans.

Constel, a first-year student, is the hope of humanity that will shine brightly in the future.

He is the main character of this game ‘Etius’.

“…hmm? hello?”

Aster looked at me and nodded slightly.

This may be my first meeting with Frontierer me.

…Even if it wasn’t your first time seeing it, you probably wouldn’t even remember it.

I bowed my head and said hello.

I don’t do anything that would unnecessarily arouse suspicion.

I didn’t wait to talk to him. I was waiting to ‘see’ him.

Aster looked at me for a moment and then walked back on his way.

A crossroads that comes after a short walk.

The left goes to the library, and the right goes to the dormitory.

I quietly watched his back. As he reached the crossroads, his steps

turned to the right.

After checking it, I lowered my gaze in despair.

I knew for sure. That this game would be a lot harder than I thought.

──Game Etius.

As I mentioned earlier, Aster Evans is the main character of Etius.

The main character of a game naturally means the character played by the player.

…So to put it another way,

no one knows who Aster Evans is if he doesn’t play.

There is an event on this date today.

When Aster heads to the library, he meets with the librarian and receives some information from the librarian.

A close relationship is formed with the librarian not because the information is important, but because the encounter itself is unique.

This is commonly referred to as increasing likability.

Since the librarian continues to provide various types of help, all players naturally head to the library.

…Because I know of an event where you meet a librarian at the library.

As a player, I know information that Aster Evans would never know.

Etius is a game that no one has ever beaten.

Naturally, those who challenged Etius moved Aster to the optimal route that yielded the most benefits.

…There is no way the current Aster Evans would go that route.

It is an optimized route that has been accumulated through sharing information with many people and countless retries.

Aster, who knows nothing, cannot go on like that even if miracles happen five times.

I’ve played as Aster more times than I can count.

I don’t know anything about Aster.

Aster Evans, not played by players. I had no way of knowing where he was going.

“I can’t help it.”

The initial plan was simply to grow myself and become Aster’s colleague.

While Aster grows on his own, I learn my own way and contribute to Aster’s power.

Since Frontier was not originally a member of Aster’s team, if I join him now that he has become stronger, it will be an unconditional positive benefit even by simple calculation.

That’s what I thought, but the plan changed.

Aster here doesn’t grow ‘as well’ as I thought.

Do not take the route of stagnant water.

Right now, it’s just a minor thing that you’ll miss out on the librarian’s information, but in the future, you’ll miss out on all the experiences and various weapon artifacts that will add to his abilities.

No one has succeeded in beating this game, but I can’t imagine beating it without Aster.

So what I have to do from now on is to subtly guide Aster. So that he can take the stagnant route.

You can’t get everything.

Characters that only help in obtaining information, such as librarians, can be overlooked a bit. After all, I know most of the information.

However, essential events must be attended.

Since I’m not moving it myself, it’s going to take a lot more work.

Still, we have to do something to make Aster stronger. At the same time, I am also becoming stronger.

…I really had to be in the top 10 in my grade within this year.

Do that too.

…By the way, Aster just passed on the librarian event.

“…Whew.”

I sighed.

Mangem.

“…and do that too.”

Everything Aster will miss in the future.

I have no choice but to pick it up.

* * *

I opened the door to the library.

There weren’t many people, and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed, as expected from the place.

However, some students who saw my face would open their eyes wide and avoid me.

Frontier and the library wouldn’t be a very good match.

In fact, there is no place anywhere in Constel that matches Frontier.

It’s an educational institution for improving skills and building culture, so it wouldn’t be suitable for a frontier who doesn’t want to do anything.

I quickly looked around and found the librarian.

The librarian was quietly working at his desk.

Brown hair, round glasses, and a plain face. In contrast, the glamorous body and the tear spot located under the left eye.

The moment you first see his face and think he is truly a librarian, that thought disappears when you see his body and the bewitching expression he occasionally shows.

Librarian Ainen Teacher.

If you become friends with this teacher, you can get the latest news and miscellaneous information coming from the school.

Saying this, it may not seem like a big deal, but since the game is full of unkindness and absurdity in the first place, every piece of information is precious to beginners of this game.

…Well, that means it’s like that for beginners.

In fact, he is a more important person to Aster than to me.

But since Aster missed this event, he can’t just pass it up.

‘The event won’t start just because I come.’

Now that things have come to this, let me pick up all the information that Aster leaked.

If I get the chance, I might be able to share information appropriately with Aster.

So what should we do then?

My reputation will be famous among teachers.

Einen probably also knows about Frontier. In other words, you have to become friendly with someone with negative likability from the beginning.

“Are you Frontier?”

But Ainen spoke first.

When he sees my face, he even gestures with his hand as if telling me to come.

…what.

I approach without knowing why.

“I didn’t know you would come to a place like this. “What’s going on?”

“…There’s a book I’m looking for.”

There is no such thing.

However, ‘My business is with you.’ I can’t say things like that.

“Hmm. It just worked out well. “Would you like to take a look at this?”

Ainen took something out from under the desk. It was a newspaper.

I wanted to take out a newspaper and ask where he wanted me to look, but

I knew as soon as I saw where he was asking me to look.

What was on the front page of the newspaper caught my eye.

[The party who discovered the divine object. The location is a dungeon near Solgitov Manor?]

A photo was attached to the photo with such a title.

In the photo, there was a single tree branch inside a transparent tube.

branch. The shape is familiar to the eye.

“Everyone called it ‘Mistiltain.’”

Yes.

When I first entered the world of Etius.

A tree branch that a teacher showed me with Wizard View.

It looks exactly like it.

“I heard you told Jane this wasn’t Mystiltain?”

The teacher’s name was Jane.

I nodded quietly.

Ainen asked me subtly, as if he was testing me.

“how is it? It will appear in newspapers, and soon news will be released through Wizard View. Everyone who sees this says it’s Mystiltein. “The empire will be in an uproar as they say they have found a sacred object that is difficult to encounter properly once in a lifetime.”

It will happen.

Any object that was used in the hands of a god, no matter how trivial, has great value.

Moreover, Mystiltein is not such a trivial thing at all.

Baldur was called the ‘perfect god’ of Norse mythology.

The mistletoe twig that killed him. That is Mystiltein.

Value cannot be measured by things like money, and even if other new items are introduced, there are only a handful of things that can stand up to it.

Someone found Mystiltein in the image everyone knew, and

I said, ‘Mystiltein doesn’t look like that.’

In other words, Ainen is asking me now.

Even though the situation is like this, can you still carry out your opinion?

Can you tell me again that what you said wasn’t just bravado or nonsense?

A faint hint of playfulness can be seen between Ainen’s smiling face.

She probably thinks I’m going to disagree. Or they avoid it, deny their words, or stutter. Either way, you’re expecting me to be embarrassed.

however.

“My thoughts remain unchanged.”

“….”

Ainen’s smile disappears at my decisive words.

“Mistiltein doesn’t look like that.”
