Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 11 Dragon Heart (3)

got in trouble

The reason I had no intention of forming a team was, of course, to prevent the score from being divided.

It was because she was trying to use weaving.

Of course, you can’t use it carelessly because the drone is flying next to you, but it’s better than being pushed to the bottom.

Because I can’t be excommunicated.

Drones can be destroyed secretly if done well.

Because drones relay their activities, students leave them alone, not something that cannot be broken.

But when Aten is by his side, all those thoughts are futile.

Well, Aten’s skills are much better, so let’s play with that.

“Please take good care of me, Mr. Frontier.”

“yes. Please.”

As I answered, I glanced around the forest.

Well, this field.

It’s refreshing to see it through the eyes of reality, but it’s nice.

“First, let’s set up a base camp.”

“Base camp? The practical exam is not that long.”

“Of course, it’s not a real camp, because we need a place to gather evidence of catching monsters.”

“okay.”

I started the search with Aten, who nodded meekly.

… … I’ve been feeling it recently.

Frontier’s body instinctively wants laziness.

I don’t even feel like I’ve taken a few steps, but I’m already sleepy and tired.

Is it a habit of the body that I have been doing for over ten years?

Without realizing it, the strength in my eyes is loosened and my expression is becoming weaker.

But you have to do what you have to do.

I plucked some grass while walking.

Seeing this, Aten asked.

“What are you doing?”

“Gathering.”

“What kind of grass?”

“It’s medicinal. It helps if you apply it to the wounded area.”

It’s not very effective, but it’s easy to manufacture and ready to use.

Even if you look for high-quality herbs in such a place where there are no pharmaceutical facilities, the cost-effectiveness is low.

“Mr. Frontier, did you learn herbal medicine?”

Aten asked with a surprised expression.

Learning herbal medicine will help you interpret the grass.

At first, you can only know if it is toxic or not, but later you can figure out the specific effect.

Of course I shook my head.

“Just, I know.”

“Five… … .”

Aten’s eyes of pure admiration are burdensome.

It’s not a lie. I’ve seen it several times in game.

On the contrary, it seems to be the most honest thing I have ever said since entering this world.

In the middle of the walk, I dig up useful grass and look around to find a place to camp.

The fruits of the tree are also edible.

When Aten asked, ‘How do you know if it’s edible?’, he replied, ‘I just know’.

It seems that the twinkle has been added to Aten’s eyes looking at me.

“… … I can’t believe the rumors.”

Aten suddenly said that.

As I looked up, Aten smiled modestly.

“I heard some bad rumors about you.”

“okay.”

According to the rumors, I should have just been a carrier.

He doesn’t do anything and just follows him around, and he’s too lazy to do anything and jogs whenever he has time.

I would have imagined such a character.

“But after all, rumors are just rumors. Your face just looks sleepy… … .”

“Not a sleepy-looking face, but sleepy.”

“Is that so?”

Hua-am, yawning while speaking.

My eyes were already half closed.

However, if you close your eyes halfway, you may feel sleepy.

… … It’s almost like feeling.

“So speaking, wouldn’t our base camp be better in a cave?”

Aten asked.

I shook my head.

“no. It’s too dangerous.”

“Are the cave monsters that strong?”

“The problem is not with demons, it’s about people.”

“Person?”

Aten tilted her head.

I looked into her eyes.

Those innocent eyes were an expression that I didn’t really know.

Really, is this a princess?

“You heard it when I explained it. Monster materials should be brought to the front of the teacher at the end of the subjugation time.”

“Why?”

“Why would you do that? Once you get the monster material, you can settle it on the spot.”

This field is Constell’s facility.

A drone is already flying next to us.

We check all the places for the safety of our students, so the settlement of monster materials is simple.

But it didn’t.

“… … ah.”

Aten made a sound as if he understood.

she said

“You mean that the material can be taken from another group?”

“okay. So caves are dangerous. It’s too conspicuous, and there’s no place to hide the subject matter. If we get high-scoring material, we should each have it in our arms, but other miscellaneous things will have to be hidden somewhere.”

For the same reason, the place to hide the subjugated evidence should not be too exposed.

In the forest rather than the plains or grasslands. Where there are many leaves of grass and branches.

The location of the camp may be revealed.

It would be better if you could hide it, but you have to be prepared to get caught.

What is important is the material of the monster rather than the camp.

There is no better place than the forest to hide this.

When hiding something, rather than tidying up the surroundings so that it is not visible,

It is effective to hide it in a cluttered and complicated place in the first place.

“Mr. Alex gave a Japanese speech before the start.”

– There is no guarantee that you will always have a strong and reliable companion by your side when you fight against danger.

“It also meant that it was important to teamwork with anyone, but to put it more simply, there are very few people in society to trust.”

The purpose of this practical skill is to give you a sense of what society as a combatant is like in advance.

Constell’s first-year students, although young, have been accumulating combat training in their own way.

But becoming a pro demands more than that.

That is what this training aims for.

“This is not a subjugation war. It’s a fight.”

* * *

While Frontier and Aten were searching for monsters.

A man moved secretly in the woods.

He started ‘material hunting’ from the beginning.

If you are a greedy student, you must be obsessed with monsters to increase your score.

‘… … great.’

The man stopped moving.

Frontier’s position was within range.

Frontier’s eyes staring blankly around him are drowsy.

‘!’

this is a crossbow

Of course, Aten next to Frontier is dangerous.

As much as possible, I don’t want to fight.

However, the two have not yet been caught.

If you approach it well, you can rob Frontier’s pocket without being detected by Aten.

It doesn’t matter if you get caught after stealing. Only if you run away.

Practical practice is, after all, a test.

Violence between students is prohibited.

You’re probably still seeing this through the drone.

Slowly, he gradually gets closer to the Frontier.

I am confident in hiding. That’s why I’m trying to hunt for this kind of material.

touk

‘uh?’

Then I felt something touching my ankle.

It wasn’t negligent.

At first, I was walking looking under my feet.

‘Certainly there was nothing?’

There was nothing, but it definitely felt like something was touched.

Instinctively, the man looked at the Frontier.

‘… … nothing?’

There was no particular reaction from Frontier.

He still looked sleepy.

‘Wow, are you too nervous?’

At that moment, Frontier suddenly raised his arms.

When the man hardened his body in those arms that were stretched out at a fairly high speed.

“Whoa am~”

Frontier yawned loudly.

It was just a stretch.

‘Oh, that’s a surprise. What stretches so loudly,’

just go there

The man’s thoughts were intact.

wow!

“f*ck!”

The man was hit in the head by a branch that fell from the air.

In an unexpected surprise, the man lost consciousness at once.

wobbly.

A tree branch rolled beside it.

Until the very end, when consciousness completely disappears,

He could not grasp the connection between the stretching of Frontier with his arms outstretched and the fallen branches.

The man was so lost.

* * *

‘… … It’s like a comedy.’

Unfortunately, the man’s ugly appearance was filmed on the broadcast screen.

Elin looked at him with a puzzled look.

Originally, I came to check the appearance of my younger brother Aster, but Frontier’s appearance appeared on the broadcast screen as often as Aster.

Probably because of Aten.

‘Frondie used an invisible weapon.’

When the man who was about to attack Frontier approached, there was a subtle reaction from Frontier.

He probably touched something invisible, and Frontier felt it.

And as he stretched out, the branches were cut off and fell from above and hit the man directly.

Pretending to be stretching, he must have thrown something on a branch.

It’s probably a dagger.

I didn’t see this either.

‘Is the throwing skill increased?’

Elin was making the correct guess on her own.

This is a possible guess since she’s seen Frontier fight before, but others will think that a branch just fell by myself and hit the man’s head.

‘There is Atten, too, and there is no need to worry about Frontier,’

The moment Elin thought about it,

She felt her spine tighten.

A brief moment from placing your hand on the scabbard and giving strength to the sword handle.

But.

“The response is good.”

Someone pressed the handle of the sword with a finger.

“… … !”

‘I can’t pull it out.’

With the power of that single finger, the foot movement was suppressed.

“It feels good to live, and the posture to switch to foot is fine. Well, what is the skill level of Constell’s best prosecutor?”

There is no hostility in a calm voice.

Life was also only a moment, but it disappeared in no time.

Only then did Elin check the opponent’s face.

‘… … this person is?’

brown haired face.

A common appearance that you can find anywhere you pass by.

But Elin knew.

who is this man

And that there is no one who doesn’t know this man other than himself.

“… … Mr. Edden Hamerlot.”

“Oh, do you know me? Miss Elin Aster.”

gotta know

What kind of humility are you talking about?

No. 1 in the pro ranking, Edden Hamerlot.

He is the strongest man in the world right now.

“… … I was surprised.”

“sorry. Were you joking? But most of them don’t respond when I shoot life.”

That’s why he shot everyone he met for life.

Even the strongest man is playful.

“But do you know me?”

“I know. It’s because I’ve been watching the Aster family siblings for a long time.”

“… … Aster is probably the main purpose.”

“Hahaha, definitely his potential is amazing. I don’t deny But I am also interested in you.”

“Is that so.”

Elin answered with an uneasy heart.

Edden also turned his gaze to the screen as if he didn’t really care.

“Let’s see, that Aster-kun… … . It looks fine.”

On the screen, Aster teamed up with his friend Lunia and was dealing with monsters.

Probably number 1 is almost certain.

“Aren’t you proud of your sister? My younger brother’s number one place is certain.”

“I do not know. Aster is still clumsy in his movements. Sometimes I try to push myself out with my own strength.”

“Haha, you’re strict. So who are you paying attention to?”

Edden asked as if he had known him.

It’s the first time I see you today.

Elin sighed.

“This is Frontier de Roach.”

He said with the heart that it would happen.

Well, as long as you don’t know the true face of Frontier, it’ll sound like a joke.

“Hmm, Frontier de Roachra. Who is that?”

“… … I’ll let you know when it’s on the screen.”

Elin then looked at the screen.

If you tell me who it is, I think Edden will be a little quieter too.

… … By the way.

‘uh?’

The huge screen in front of you constantly changes screens.

Sometimes a close-up of someone, or from above where you can see the whole thing.

The faces of Aten and his team, Frontier, appear frequently.

By the way.

“Hmm, Miss Elin. Has Frontier not come out yet?”

“… … .”

But the frontier is not caught.

No matter how much time passes

Even though it was their turn to be caught on screen for most of the first graders.

“… … what?”

The screen, which is just being broadcast, seems so heterogeneous now.

* * *

“yes? Mom?”

Suddenly Philly stood up.

Without a word to Elysia and Saleh.

But soon Philly said with a smile.

“Mom’s bathroom~”

“What else do I say? You can see it when you go upstairs and enter the passage.”

“Okay.”

And Philly got out of the seat and walked.

Her face, which no one could see, was terrifying.

‘what.’

It is the start of foresight.

I don’t know what happens.

But this dirty, sticky thing runs down his throat, the unpleasantness.

The invisible foresight always made her anxious, but she had never felt such a strong foresight.

Philly looked at the screen.

Practical exam being broadcast.

As far as I can see, there is no point where it can be a problem.

It seems to be proceeding normally.

But every time I check that screen, the anxiety and fear rises.

I can’t see it, but

In that field where the practical test is conducted, something is happening.
