Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 1 The Human Sloth Frontier (3)

Kwajik!

“You got it right!”

I clenched my fists at the broken target.

This is the training room.

Some do muscle training, some do magic tests, some test skills.

Anyway, as long as there is a vacant room and with permission, anyone can use it freely.

Since the situation inside cannot be seen from the outside, the weaving can be done freely here.

What I’m doing right now is hitting a target, one of the programs set up in the private room.

This facility is usually used by people with long-range weapons, and all you have to do is hit a target you can see in the distance.

In the lowest difficulty, the target just stands still, but as the difficulty increases, the target moves away, hides and appears, then moves randomly, or even reacts to projectiles to avoid it.

Of course, I’m humbly playing on the lowest difficulty.

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

The sound effects and graphics are just so plausible.

If you succeed in matching it, the hit area and damage are also displayed, which is very convenient.

What I’m practicing right now is throwing a woven dagger.

As long as you bring out the phenomenon of matching the moment it hits the target, you can damage the enemy even by flying a woven dagger.

The so-called invisible ranged attack becomes possible.

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

So, the ability of weaving is halved in close combat. Because even blocking the opponent’s attack is instantaneous.

If you can’t stray or deflect the orbit at the moment you block, the enemy’s sword will pierce your weapon or shield and cut you off as it is.

It’s either a shield or a sword. If you pick up a shield, you have to parry every moment of your opponent’s attack just like in a game, and if you pick up a sword, you shouldn’t clumsily block it, but you should spill or strike it all.

I don’t want it to be a melee battle with such insane difficulty.

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

However, there is one fatal problem with this tactic.

“… … It’s not quite right.”

just myself.

Me and the game junkie, and Frontier who only slept.

It seems to create synergy that makes you shiver with a very paired sense of rage.

Still, if you clench your teeth like this and get it right once in ten or even once in twenty.

get a skill

It’s insignificant, but I can’t expect the talent of combat itself from me and the Frontier, so I have to rely on my skills.

For reference, the lowest level throwing skill can be obtained by a child around the age of 10 if he works hard.

… … you can do it!

Evening moon with a crescent moon.

After practicing and leaving the training room, I stood still in front of the entrance. And I watched the time go by. Because there is something to check.

Because I was so crazy right after I entered this game, no, because I was already crazy from the moment I entered, no, because I am a crazy human in the first place,

… … Anyway.

There was something I forgot for a while because I had a crazy day.

I hadn’t thought of it at first. But after a thought came to mind, it grew out of control.

I have to check it out today.

I am waiting for someone now.

The reason he waits in the training room is because he knows he must be here.

I checked the date with my smartwatch, and it must be today. The time has come slowly.

Jiing-

The automatic door of the training room opened.

He glanced at the man who came out of it.

… … found.

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

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

——Aster Evans.

A freshman in Constell, the hope of humanity that will shine brightly in the future.

He is the protagonist of this game ‘Ethius’.

“… … Well? hello?”

Aster looked at me and nodded his head lightly.

With me, who is a frontier, it will be a first for me so far.

… … Even if it wasn’t the first meeting, I probably wouldn’t even remember it.

I bowed my head and greeted each other.

I don’t do things that are needlessly suspicious.

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

Aster looked at me for a moment and then walked back the way he was going.

A fork in the road after a short walk.

To the left is the library, and to the right is the dormitory.

I stared at his back. His steps at a crossroads,

──Going to the right.

Confirming that, I lowered my eyes in despair.

I knew for sure. I know this game won’t be as smooth as I thought it would be.

──Game Etius.

Astor Evans is the protagonist of Etius, as I said before.

The word protagonist in a game, of course, means the character the player plays.

… … So, in other words,

No one knows about Aster Evans that players don’t play.

Today, on this date, there is an event.

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

Because the information is not important, and the encounter itself is unique, you develop a close relationship with the librarian.

This is commonly referred to as increasing sensitivity.

Since the librarian continues to provide a variety of help after that, all players naturally head to the library.

… … Because I know of an event to meet the librarian at the library.

As a player, he knows information that Astor Evans never knew.

Etius is a game that no one has ever broken.

Naturally, those who challenged Etius made Aster move to the optimal route with the most profit.

… … The current Astor Evans cannot go that route.

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

Even if Aster, who doesn’t know anything, had experienced five miracles, it wouldn’t go that far.

I played as an Aster so many times that I can’t count.

I don’t know anything about Aster.

Aster Evans not played by players. Where the hell he was going, I had no idea.

“I can’t help it.”

My initial plan was to simply develop myself and become Aster’s companion.

While Aster takes care of himself and grows well, I learn my own way and contribute to Aster’s power.

Frontier wasn’t originally from Aster’s team, so if I join as a stronger person, it’s an unconditional positive gain even with simple calculations.

I thought so, but my plans have changed.

Aster here doesn’t grow as well as I thought it would.

Do not ride the route of the dead.

Right now, it’s just a trivial thing to lose the librarian’s information, but in the future, you’ll miss out on all the experiences, weapons, and artifacts that will help his abilities.

No one has succeeded in attacking this game, but it is impossible to imagine an attack without Aster.

So, from now on, what I have to do is to induce Aster in secret. Let him ride the route of the dead.

You can’t get everything.

You can skip some characters that only help you get information, like a librarian. Anyway, I don’t have any information.

However, an indispensable event must be passed.

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

Still, we have to do it somehow to make Aster stronger. At the same time, I am getting stronger myself.

… … Seriously, I should have been in the top 10 in my grade this year.

do that too

… … By the way, Aster just handed over the librarian event.

“… … Whoa.”

I sighed.

Mangem.

“… … I do that too.”

Everything Aster misses 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 there was a quiet and relaxed atmosphere like a place.

However, some students who saw my face opened their eyes wide and avoided me.

Frontier and the library would be a very inconsistent match.

In fact, there is no place in Constell to hang out with Frontier.

It’s an educational institution to improve skills and build culture, so it’s a good fit for Frontier, who doesn’t want to do anything.

I quickly looked around and found the librarian.

The librarian was quietly working at his place.

Brown hair, round glasses, and a plain face. A glamorous body that contrasts with him and a tear spot under the left eye.

The moment I saw her face for the first time and thought she was a librarian, when I saw her body and the bewitching expression that appeared occasionally, that thought was cleared.

Librarian, Teacher Ainen.

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

Even if it sounds like a small thing to say like this, since the game is full of unkindness and absurdity in the first place, each piece of information is valuable to beginners of this game.

… … Well, that’s for beginners.

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

However, since Aster missed this event, it is impossible to ignore it.

‘The event won’t start just because I’m coming.’

After all, let me pick up all the information Aster leaked.

If there’s a chance, I might be able to properly share information with Aster.

Well, then what?

My reputation will be famous among teachers.

Perhaps Ainen knows about Frontier too. In other words, you have to be friendly from the beginning with a negative affinity.

“Are you Frontier?”

But Ainen spoke first.

When they see my face, they even gesture as if to come.

… … what.

Approaching without knowing English

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

“… … I have a book I want to find.”

There is no such thing.

However, ‘my job is for you.’ I can’t say anything like that.

“Ugh. it went well Would you like to see this?”

Ainen pulled something from under the desk. It was a newspaper.

I want to take out a newspaper and ask where I want to read it, but

As soon as I saw it, I knew where to look.

An article on the front page of the newspaper caught my eye.

[A party that discovered a divine object. Is the location a dungeon near Solgitov’s estate?]

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

The photo contained a single branch inside a transparent tube.

branch. Its shape is familiar.

“Everyone called this ‘Mystyltaine’.”

Yes.

When I first entered the world of Etius.

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

it looks exactly like it

“You said you told Jane this wasn’t Mystyltaine?”

The teacher’s name was Jane.

I nodded quietly.

Ainen asked me quietly, as if testing me.

“What do you think? It will appear in newspapers, and sooner or later, news will come out through Weezerview. Everyone who sees this says it’s Mystyltaine. Once in a lifetime, the empire will shake as they say that they have found a new creature that is difficult to properly face.”

It will be.

Items used in the hands of the gods, no matter how trivial, are of considerable value.

Plus, Mystyltaine isn’t such a trivial thing at all.

Baldur was called the ‘complete god’ in Norse mythology.

The mistletoe twig that killed him. That’s Mystyltaine.

The value cannot be daringly measured with money, and even if you bring in other gods, your hand is counted as something that can stand up to it.

Someone discovered the Mystyltain as everyone knows,

I said ‘mystyltaine didn’t come like that’.

In other words, Ainen is asking me now.

Now that this is the case, can you still stand up for your opinion?

Can you say again that what you said wasn’t just bluff or bullshit?

Between Ainen’s smiling face, a faint playfulness was seen.

She probably thinks I’ll break her opinion. Or avoiding, denying one’s own words, or stuttering. Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing my embarrassment.

But.

“My opinion has not changed.”

“… … .”

Ainen’s smile disappears at my determined words.

“Mystyltain didn’t come out like that.”

I know. Not to mention what Mystyltain looks like,

Even the identity of the ‘fake Mystyltaine’ that appeared in that newspaper and inside the transparent tube.

‘… … But I can use that.’

I thought about how to approach Aster naturally. If you’re good at it, you might be able to fix it with that.

If there is any news about that content, it is clear that Aster will be most interested.

Aster’s power. Because the target is right foot.
