Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 10 The Empress’s Perspective (5)

I remember Atten Terst in the game Etius.

When he first met Aster, Aten always looked at Aster like that.

However, as the game progresses, Aten acknowledges Aster as he progresses through the main quest and story.

Sometimes it even develops into a romantic relationship.

So, I knew Aten was a cold character from the beginning.

“Aten, have you ever met Aster?”

“no. We just met for the first time.”

Even after breaking up with Aster, Aten’s expression was not good.

It must be true that we met for the first time.

As for myself, I have never encountered a situation where Aster and Aten before he transferred.

‘Aten with that cold gaze that he showed when playing as Aster was not his personality, but his own reason.’

From the frontier’s point of view, Aten is not that cold.

… … I just can’t communicate a bit.

In other words, the reason I was mistaken for Aten’s cold personality was because I played through the eyes of ‘Aster’, and it wasn’t like that.

Between Aten and Aster, something I don’t know exists.

“Where are you going now? It looks like the shopping is over.”

Aten, who followed, asked.

There’s nothing wrong with shopping.

I just bought a writing instrument for taking the midterm exam.

I answered.

“I’m going home, will you follow me there?”

“Please. I am a woman who knows the level.”

No, I don’t know your level.

Just because you don’t cross the last line doesn’t mean you’re up to the task.

“Then let’s break up here.”

“It is. Then again tomorrow.”

Aten said so and bowed his head.

see you again tomorrow

what is that

Ordinary greetings?

Aren’t you going to do the same thing over and over again tomorrow?

As soon as I returned to the mansion, I met Atji.

Because it was a training day.

During training, I asked Atjie to demonstrate the ‘Nakjang’.

I also got something from Elodie, Hani.

But Atjie shook his head.

“Can not be done.”

“… … Why?”

“If you do it now, you will only hurt your body.”

Atjie was adamant.

I mean, when have you never been?

“And above all, Nakjang can be used as a ‘window’ to enjoy the proper effect. Because it uses the flexibility and length of the spear.”

“Oh, I see.”

Atji said as if piercing through me.

“If you want to even imitate a camel with a dagger, build your body before that. I just started training.”

“Yep.”

I gave up my lust for acquiring a nakjang and took a stance.

Training with Atzier is a big help.

I follow as much as I can in muscle training from the side, and in battles, I mainly point out problems and loopholes in my movements.

This simple repetition was rapidly increasing my experience.

Nakjang also doesn’t really teach me, but I often show it while fighting with me.

If you can steal by looking at it, steal it.

Thanks to that, even though I couldn’t use Nakjang, the response of Nakjang was increasing.

My main countermeasure is to let go of the weapon first, like when fighting golems.

‘wait.’

… … Golem?

‘oh.’

what to do

How to acquire a nakjang, I remembered.

But for now, let’s focus on training.

As Atjie said, if I try to jump with my body now, I will get hurt.

Besides, if you try to do it with a dagger instead of a spear, the burden will be even greater.

… … Is it possible?

“Hey, brother.”

“what?”

“Aren’t you unsure of my skills?”

“A word?”

Oh, too?

“You are a freshman who has just started training. I wasted my time due to laziness and started out far behind others. By the time it satisfies my eyes, you will be graduating.”

“… … I, my father, ordered me to be in the top 10 within a year.”

“That is a different story. Even if they get first place in Constell’s first-year punks, they won’t catch my eye.”

If the first place in the current 1st year is Aster Evans.

Even the current Aster still doesn’t feel like Atji.

“… … That, my brother.”

“You talk a lot today.”

“Do I have any fighting skills?”

This is my recent concern.

In the previous world, I had seen this world as a character named Aster, who had a lot of talent.

Aster’s colleagues were already prominent characters in Constell.

They know what position to fight and how to fight.

But like Frontier, a character I don’t know at all can’t get along.

What I chose to fight with weaving.

Focusing on throwing and daggers.

Replicating legendary weapons, such as Gram and Chryselakatos.

Is this the right way to go?

Is Frontier’s body really suitable for ‘battle’? do you have any talent?

In Etius, who still gives only tiny bits of information, this kind of situation feels like walking through a fog.

I, and this body of Frontier.

Will we be able to get through this by continuing to walk on this road in the future?

Atji looked at me for a while and then said.

“Frondier, whether it’s a talent or a talent is a result theory. We don’t talk about talent to losers. Only successful people, only strong people, are recognized for their talent.”

Rarely, Atjie spoke long.

Do you have any thoughts on my words?

“Up until now, when people explain how someone’s achievement is possible, they dismiss it as ‘talent’ unless it is explained by ‘effort’. There must have been a lot more to his work.”

──It was as if he was talking about his father, Ampere.

After becoming lord, Ampere has never allowed a monster to invade.

The modifier attached to it, the northern iron wall.

Atjie, who has been watching his life, must have his own feelings.

Apart from that, Atjie’s words were theories.

Talent and aptitude are words given to successful people.

Thousands of people who believed they had talent when they were young are turned upside down,

It is the world in which people live, where someone who has nothing to see succeeds.

And after success, the talent suddenly comes to the person.

I didn’t have that kind of talent until I was successful.

After success, it is human beings who are wrapped up as if they had such a talent from the beginning.

“But Frontier. I do not assert.”

At that time, Atjie’s indifferent eyes looked at me.

“There is no shortage of fighting skills for you.”

“yes?”

I don’t know what you’re thinking

I can’t feel any intentions.

With those eyes, Atjie seemed to convey the truth.

“Because you are my brother.”

* * *

“Golem’s data?”

“yes. Will there be any left?”

The next day, after school, I visited the teacher Vinkis.

Vinkis, the original owner of the golem used by Edwin.

She looked at me and said, “Hmm,” and tilted her head.

“I have some left over, but where are we going to use them?”

“Can I record something like a technical demonstration?”

“recording? Ah, do you have a Wizardgram?”

… … How did know.

Wizardgram, was it originally a famous item?

It’s an item I’ve never heard of when playing a game.

“Then there is no need to record. I’ll send you the data. Then you can see it on Wizardgram.”

Oh, it’s convenient.

I took out the Wizard.

“Oh, you have a good one.”

“okay?”

“Look at the mark on the bottom. There is only one crafting company that uses the mark of ‘Eagle’. And the company boasts of the highest quality in all its machinations.”

As Vinkis said, an eagle was engraved on the underside of the Wizardgram.

Indeed, this eagle is the pattern of ‘Hitchcock’.

Wizardgram didn’t know, but Hitchcock knew it.

“therefore? What skill would you like to see?”

“It’s a fallout.”

“You are this guy. Do you have big dreams?”

Vinkis smiled like that and sent the data.

Okay, so you can watch this anytime on Wizardgram.

As Atjie said, your body isn’t ready yet, so don’t try to imitate it for nothing, let’s just look at it first.

The first thing to learn is to learn with your eyes.

“thank you sir.”

“Yeah, it’s nothing. But you know, Frontier.”

“yes.”

“How long is he going to be like that?”

At Vinkis’ words, I turned around.

Behind me, Aten stood like ice.

Aten accompanied me today without any doubt.

And I ran away hard.

It was almost useless.

Aten should not be with me, but with Aster.

It’s Aster’s important strength, so why are you chasing after me?

However, if I meet Aster and try to attach it to him, he will turn into the snow girl I knew through the game, and the conversation will not work.

So to passers-by, our relationship may seem quite strange.

I have the worst reputation, the Imperial Princess is chasing after me.

Within a day, the rumors spread.

Anyway, Aten blinked her big eyes a few times when she was pointed out and opened her mouth.

“──Ah, me?”

“thank god. you’re alive You were so quiet that you thought it was a doll.”

Teacher Vinkis trembled.

“Is there a rumor going around these days? The Imperial Princess is chasing after Frontier? What? Frontier, did you seduce the princess in one day?”

“no. I don’t even know why.”

I answered that of course, but Aten raised her eyes as if thinking about something.

And it sounded terrifying.

“You twisted… … . If possible, I want to be that way.”

“… … Uh, what?”

Indeed, this time, Mr. Vinkis is also bewildered.

“If possible, I would like Mr. Frontier to flirt with me,”

“Teacher! Thanks for the data! I’ll go!”

I dragged Aten and went out.

While seeing me off, while trying to ignore Vinkis’s pale face.

“Frondie, where are you going?”

“Go to the library, go to the library!”

“Why?”

“Why, it’s the midterm exam soon. Are you okay?”

Actually, maybe Atten is more worried than me.

The exam is just around the corner, and I suddenly transferred to another school.

Aten said, placing her hand gracefully over her collarbone.

“it’s okay. Because wealth is not in the order of sexuality.”

“You mean it’s not okay at all?”

And don’t say anything dangerous.

It’s like buying a test tube with money.

‘Even though Aten looked like this, he was a hard worker in his studies.’

Aten possesses an intellectual atmosphere as much as his cold looks, but in fact, his intelligence is rather mediocre.

Originally, when I transferred here, I had a bad relationship with Aster, but I focused on my studies and barely passed the midterm exam.

I can’t even study because I’m chasing after you.

They don’t seem to be interested at all.

‘Oh shit.’

why do i have to do this

“Follow. I will teach you to study.”

If Aten’s grades drop, I’m in trouble.

If you fail the midterm exam, you must retake the written exam after the actual performance.

There are events that occur during that retest period, where Aten is absolutely necessary.

Aten opened her eyes wide for a moment as if she was surprised by what I said.

and said

“I was still following you.”

“I know!”

“And it’s hard to imagine Mr. Frontier teaching me.”

“What does that mean?”

“sorry. I will correct it. I don’t have good faith.”

“Have you ever heard of being so honest that it hurts you?”

“!”

At my words, Aten gave me the most startled expression I’ve ever seen.

“How do you… … !”

… … Why?

He was starting to get annoyed.
