The Academy’s Weapon Replicator Chapter 1

Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 1

Prologue

The man held the sword with both hands. The blade raised vertically reflected sunlight.

[Baldur. Give me strength.]

The blade glowed as if responding to the chant.

The man let out a huff, kicked the ground, and took a leap. There was a dent in the spot where he hit, and the air trembled for a moment and followed him.

A group of monsters fill the landscape in front of you.

In one of them, the blade was extended through the head of a cow standing on two feet with two horns growing.

[Wook… … !]

Suddenly, the blade flew towards the temple of the bull’s head and slightly cut the skin.

His attack with all his might stopped there.

The cow stretched out its arms. He grabbed the man’s leg. The man was caught helplessly in the air.

Whoosh, the sound of the wind disturbs his front,

[──!]

The cow shook the man on the tree next to him as if it were a wet towel.

Whether it was his back or his side, the man was hit somewhere and broke somewhere, and blood flowed back from somewhere and he vomited.

Suddenly, the body that was briefly attached to the tree slipped.

The leg that was caught was also broken. No, it is correct to say that I was torn apart.

He lay down, lifted his head, and looked up.

The sun shines. It is the light that made his sword shine just a moment ago. Sunlight breaks through the green clusters of trees.

And the cow.

The cow saw him with its own eyes.

[…] … Baldur, who presides over justice and light, call me… … .]

There was a fluttering sound.

* * *

I looked at the monitor for a moment.

The phrase ‘GAME OVER’ was placed in the center of the screen in a simple and unpretentious way.

Hmm, I snorted. And I took that much breath.

“Mangem!”

I was about to hit the shotgun when I remembered the price of the keyboard, and when I was about to throw the mouse away, I also remembered the price.

My hands hovered in the air for a moment and then I crossed my arms.

“I tried everything I could think of.”

‘Etius’, a game where swords, magic, gods and monsters exist.

I can say without a doubt that there is no one who is as deeply into this game as I am.

Everyone shouted that it was a game before me and then escaped.

And now that I have finally declared that I am a gamer, I am the stupidest gamer and the biggest victim.

“I thought it was a god game.”

Lively AI, vast open world, attractive characters, and countless contents.

At the time of opening, it was expressed that a fantasy world from another world was literally incorporated into the game.

In fact, it was a balance problem.

Apart from the death of the main character, no one has seen the ending of this game.

Although it is a vast open world, there is a border that cannot be advanced due to monsters, and once that border is crossed, even ordinary mobs cannot be easily killed.

I don’t think it was a game made with the intention of beating it. The company has no intention of fixing it.

But rather, it stimulated my desire for a challenge.

‘The fact that you have no intention of fixing it means that there is definitely a way to attack it somewhere.’

Because I believed that.

Why did you do that?

“I’m tired.”

I put my arms on the desk and buried my face.

The time has come for me to say goodbye to this game.

The game over just now was the last move I could think of to win this game.

Since that also failed, there is no other way.

“Frondier student.”

In the end, Etius became the first game I couldn’t conquer.

Since no one has been able to capture it, I’ll leave it out of the discussion.

“Frondier de Roach.”

… … But what does this mean?

I heard a strange noise in my room, where I was the only one.

Let’s raise our heads there.

“… … ?”

It looked like a blackboard.

In front of him, a woman who looked like a teacher seemed to be holding a textbook-like book and giving a lecture.

The teacher was looking at me now.

“Oh, me?”

I answered without realizing it.

Frontier? I’ve never heard a name like that.

“Then who else is there besides you?”

The teacher said it as if it were obvious. It seemed like it was obvious that I was a ‘frontier’ or something.

I looked around. I saw the faces of students wearing school uniforms.

Some people were giggling at me.

‘It’s not my room.’

This is a classroom. My room has become a classroom. I just woke up with my face buried in the desk.

‘… … ah.’

Is this a dream?

Are you so crazy about the game Etius that you have dreams this clear?

“Frondier, do you know the name of this weapon?”

The teacher displayed the screen on the right.

It is a magical system that floats images in the air, ‘Wizer View’.

It’s a special feeling to see magic techniques that you only see in games before your eyes.

‘That’s it.’

I saw that it was a weapon that the teacher had brought up with Wizard View.

It was a tree branch. It’s not a weapon or anything.

‘… … aha.’

I get it roughly. What answer does the teacher want?

But it’s a dream.

Should I try to be a little more oblivious?

“That’s a tree branch. “It’s not a weapon or anything.”

The students’ laughter grew louder at my words. The teacher also sighed.

“As expected, you didn’t attend class at all today either.”

I didn’t listen at all. I should have been able to hear it.

“… … Teacher, was today’s lesson about ‘Baldur’?”

In Norse mythology, Odin’s son, Baldur, the god of light.

It is said that he was stabbed to death by a mistletoe branch.

The name of the tree branch is ‘Mistiltein’.

In other words, I had to look at that tree branch and answer Mystiltein correctly.

The teacher looked at me like I was something strange.

“… … That’s right. Frontier student, if you knew, why?”

“teacher.”

I looked at the tree branches in the wizard view again.

It’s definitely true. That’s just a ‘tree branch’.

“Mistiltein doesn’t look like that.”

A weapon that will one day be wielded by the protagonist in the world of Etius.

I have seen and handled that weapon countless times.

It is not difficult to distinguish between ‘Mistletoe Twig’ and ‘Mistiltein’.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The students and teachers looked at me in silence. It was a gaze filled with things like discomfort, anger, and disgust.

That’s right. At the start of the game, everyone thought Mystiltein really looked like that.

“… … .”

Let’s see, so.

When will this dream end?

* * *

… … A week has passed since then.

I decided to admit it. This is not a dream. Whether I admit it or not, this was reality.

I thought it was a dream, so I said something about Mystiltein, but my image only got worse.

As I passed through the hallway, I heard voices whispering to me.

-Is this the one who was talking nonsense in class?

… … Me in charge of him and him.

“Well, I guess this body originally had a bad reputation.”

Now I am inside a mansion. The mansion where the original owner of this body lived.

As for how I got there, as soon as school was over, there was an assistant waiting in front of the front door to pick me up in the car.

I came here in a very luxurious sedan.

… … Up until this point, I had some expectations. This is because I realized that even though he was not the main character, he was the son of a noble family of considerable repute.

Besides, I really liked the face of this body reflected in the mirror.

The jet black hair and eyes were so dark that they were quite luxurious, and so was her appearance.

Before I found out its identity, I was almost fooled by its appearance.

I looked at my watch on the desk in my room.

Smart watch.

It was the only item brought back from the original world when coming over to this side. Was it because I was wearing it on my wrist? If so, why did my clothes change?

That’s something we still don’t know.

I was wondering if this smartwatch would work, but not only does it work.

•Name: Frontier de Roach

•Age: 17 years old

•Affiliation: Second son of the Roach family, first year Constel trainee

•Race: Human

•Strength: None

It worked in a completely different way.

Now this isn’t a clock or anything.

The status of Etius that we are familiar with. It was on my smartwatch.

When I saw this, it felt real. The feeling that I had fallen into another world.

For me, a complete stranger to this place, this status was a bit of salvation.

“… … Frontier de Roach.”

It was an unfamiliar name. It took me a while to come up with it.

I worked really hard on this game. Trying to find hidden elements in every nook and cranny. He was a difficult person to remember, even for me.

When I finally remembered, I sighed first.

──Human sloth Frontier.

It is a derogatory term referring to a sloth. It is just a derogatory term without any other meaning.

Lazy but powerful,

Lazy but with something hidden,

It’s not like that.

Just a lazy and lazy character. That’s just the character.

“The skill set is like this, but it doesn’t mean I don’t understand being lazy.”

In the world of Etius, the only things that determine what is strong or weak, capable or incompetent are skills, magic, and divine power.

Among these, divine power refers to the power given by God.

In Etius, all kinds of mythical gods appear and grant power to humans. However, there are not many people like that.

People who receive divine power are no different from being chosen, and in reality, all people who have divine power are named.

On the other hand, everyone can acquire skills and magic, but their power is minimal compared to divine power. However, it is not easy to obtain.

There are a very few people who, through hard work and talent, develop skills and magic that surpass divine power.

Frontier naturally has no divine power,

There is no magic,

If you look at the skills.

[Weaving]

•Grade: Unique

•Description: Saves and replicates images of objects. However, it is an illusion. It goes through a process of ‘work-out’ and ‘replication’.

– Workshop: Stores woven objects in virtual space.

– Replication: Duplicating objects stored in the workshop.

It is like this.

What does this mean?

I picked up a fountain pen on the desk and used ‘Weaving.’

The image of the fountain pen is saved, and the saved image is filled in as if thread is being woven before your eyes.

As if printed with a 3D printer.

Probably because of this appearance, it is called ‘weaving’.

[Viet Company’s high-quality fountain pen] (replica)

•Grade: General

•Description: A woven product imitating a fountain pen. There is no physical entity.

I held a real fountain pen in my left hand and a replica fountain pen in my right.

When I saw it with my own eyes, it looked exactly the same.

This is weaving. Reproduce objects as illusions.

The image of the object once ‘woven’ in this way is stored in the ‘workshop’.

As written above, the workshop is like my virtual space where I can easily view what I have saved.

Like augmented reality, you can see it with your own eyes, so you can display weapons, tools, etc. without any obstruction.

Therefore, weaving is possible anytime, anywhere.

However, only things I have seen with my own eyes.

Even if I know the weapon in my head, it is not saved in the workshop until I actually see it.

Before I was possessed, Frontier had already used it several times, and some weapons and items were stored there.

… … If you just say it like that, it sounds very plausible.

Because it’s a fantasy, it’s all fake.

A fountain pen copied like this cannot write, much less pierce a single sheet of paper.

Moreover, since it is only visible to my eyes, other people may not know whether I have woven it or not.

A fantasy that cannot interfere with reality at all.

… … We decided to call this ‘delusion’.

I have no idea what to do with this.

“It’s a skill I’ve never seen before while playing Etius.”

Since I’ve never seen it before, of course the rating is unique.

In Etius, unique grades have characteristics that are different from other grades.

The grades range from ‘General’ at the lowest to ‘Secret’ at the highest, but the ‘Unique’ grade is not included here.

Instead, unique classes have different characteristics. That there is only one.

Therefore, unique grades cannot be a standard for judging good or bad. No matter how insignificant it is, if it is only one, it is given a ‘unique’ rating.

… … But is there a unique skill that is this useless?

“Sloth Frontier.”

This skill seems to prove its derogatory name.

From now on, I have to survive the game that I was unable to conquer even as the main character, in the body of Frontier.

“It’s not a matter of just living.”

I clicked on the ‘Quest’ field on my smartwatch.

Quest >

[Main Quest: Transformation of Destiny]

•Explanation: You know the end when humanity will be destroyed. Save humanity and change destiny

This quest was there from the start as soon as I opened the smartwatch. It’s probably a quest that started from the moment I was possessed by Frondier.

As this quest explains, I know the ending of this game. No, I should say that I know the outcome if I fail to conquer it.

The end of humanity is extremely bleak.

In a typical game, there would be a final boss like a demon king or something like that, or a huge conspiracy, or a dark secret. It is not about being destroyed by something like that.

Just get slaughtered by monsters. The home of mankind is gradually taken over by monsters, and eventually they are unable to withstand the waves of monsters and are swept away.

Even the protagonist of this game has such a vain ending.

Stop that. Look at me.

ha ha ha.

smart.

A maid’s voice was heard from the other side of the door.

“Mr. Frontier? “Can I come in?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Without realizing it, I answered politely. Frondier is a noble by birth, so speaking like this would be awkward.

The maid who came in was also looking at me a little strangely. Of course, she wouldn’t say that thought out loud.

“Frondier, a letter has arrived.”

“letter? To whom?”

I try to force myself to say it. It may be awkward for a while, but you will gradually get used to it.

“It’s Ampere.”

“… … “Father?”

Ampere, Frondier’s father.

I don’t know the character Frondier, but I know Ampere. I know very well.

Ampere de Roach, the northern iron wall.

A superhuman who has never once allowed the intrusion of monsters in the territory of ‘Yeranhes’ on the outskirts of the Terst Empire.

The reason why I am unfamiliar with the character Frondier is because the father, Ampere, and his first son, Adgier, account for almost all of the Roach family.

As a general, Ampere has the leadership ability to reach the rank of corps commander, and as an individual, his military power is comparable to that of ‘Zodiac’, one of the twelve fingers on the continent.

Ajie is a fraudulent character according to the Etius formula who inherits all of his father’s incredible talents and grows above them.

Ampere, now my father, is writing to me.

Nervously, I took the letter the maid gave me and broke the seal. The letter contained simple sentences.

[Frondier, your laziness is enough.

Be in the top 10 overall in your grade at Constell.

If you can’t, you will be excommunicated.]

I read through it and exhaled through my nose. And I drank that much.

“… … Mangem!”

“What did you say?”

“it’s nothing!”

It seems like my life is about to become simpler.

I heard a monotonous notification sound and checked my smartwatch.

[Subquest has been created]

[Subquest: Father’s Command]

•Explanation: Due to Frondier’s laziness over the past few years, his father Ampere’s patience has reached its limit.

Goal: To be in the top 10 overall in Constel within this semester

•Reward: Receive recognition from Ampere.

•If you fail, you will be excommunicated.

I know!
