Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 103

Chapter 31: Rumors (1)

I was in desperate danger.

I don’t know where Pascal heard some kind of rumor, or if he thought of something strange himself.

“Hey, teacher. I can’t use Aurors. “Look at the expressions on the students’ faces here.”

All the students watching nodded in unison at my sincere words. For now, they were my trustworthy allies.

“Ahaha.”

Pascal laughed. It was such a dry laugh.

Then he looked at me intently and tugged at the corner of his mouth.

“lie.”

There was something strange about those words, or rather, a sense of déjà vu. I had seen Pascal’s actions and tone of voice somewhere before.

Who was that?

“Then let’s go!”

Pascal shouted cheerfully as if declaring a game.

Then the terrifying Auror’s sword grazed my face.

‘Hey, crazy teacher!’

I took out ‘Neil Jacques’ short sword’. Of course it was the real thing.

Kang! Cough!

My sword and Pascal’s aura clashed with each other. Metallic sounds rang out one after another.

“and! You have a good sword! Frontier!”

Pascal spoke calmly. One attack from this side sends shivers down my spine.

This short sword made of loquat steel has greater durability and strength than ordinary weapons. Moreover, due to the characteristic of ‘eternal antiquity’, the sword itself never gets damaged.

However, if damage exceeds the limit, it may break completely.

Until then, the sword is always in perfect condition, but if it goes beyond its limits, it will completely shatter.

In terms of gaming, you can think of a sword with 100 durability as having exactly the same performance as 100 up to 1.

‘What on earth is this teacher overestimating about me?’

Pascal’s attack is lifeless. It’s just full of fun.

As if telling me to quickly bring out my aurors and respond, each attack is focused on causing me trouble.

Just like a frog being hit and killed by a stone thrown as a joke.

I was a scary frog right now.

‘Ugh!’

Wow!

The short sword hit by the aura trembled. It was fortunate that he had become quite accustomed to fighting while training with At Jie.

However, this teacher seems to have no idea of ​​the extent, so if you don’t respond properly, you could really die.

“Ego! Take it out quickly! “The cowardice stops there, Frontier!”

Taang!

“… … !”

Pascal forced the auror inside and struck away my sword.

The arm holding the knife spread outward, and my chest opened. Taking advantage of that gap, Pascal’s Aura flew in a straight line without mercy.

─Damn it.

weaving

Grade – Unique

Neil Jacques’ Shortsword

Kwaa-ang-!

I used the small sword with my other hand and used parrying skills to block Pascal’s aura.

The students who were watching gasped.

“F-Frondier really has an Auror… … !”

“I couldn’t believe it, but it was real!”

no it’s not! You idiots!

No, it would be better if you thought that way!

“… … “Uh, um?”

As expected, Pascal tilted his head at a sight that was different from what he had expected.

Something invisible struck the auror.

To an ordinary person’s eyes, they both seem the same because they are invisible, but to Pascal’s eyes, it probably isn’t. Because Pascal can see the auror. My woven short sword, on the other hand, ‘doesn’t look real’.

The students seem to be at a distance and pretend that my Auror is invisible because he appears only briefly, but Pascal will feel a strong sense of discomfort.

“Well, I understand. “Frondier students, please return to your seats.”

“… … yes.”

I tried to feign composure and turned my back.

‘What kind of child is he?’

No matter how much Pascal is a ‘bad boy’, he is not stupid and reckless. I just have too much drive and curiosity.

In other words, there is something that made Pascal behave like that.

‘I don’t know who spread the rumor, but I think Pascal believes it because there is some basis for it. I can believe that I use Aurors… … .’

When I thought about it that far, I realized one thing.

The story of Grobel, whom I met at Tavern, came to mind.

-Gregory That bastard is the problem.

-You don’t know? Gregory went to Serph’s residence without knowing he was dead and was caught. Of course, the controlling crow was caught. So we’re looking for them, but we haven’t caught them yet.

-You must not forget! My little brother! My brother Rockbell! Please don’t forget! I did my best!

Grobel was worried about his younger brother, Rockbell. I’m afraid Gregory will approach.

This is information I learned while talking to Grobel, and at the time of the cabin incident, Serf was mistaken in thinking that I was using ‘Auror’. Because Gregory, who gave information to Serph, was mistaken from the beginning.

In other words, it is highly likely that it was Gregory who gave information to Pascal.

Although it is still only a hypothesis.

To verify –

“Selena.”

I whispered to Selena next to me. Selena was taking the same class as she was in the combat category.

“yes.”

“Do your research on Rockbell. There was a young kid during the cabin incident. The child’s name is Rockbell. Check where you live now and whether you are safe. If possible, check whether a person named ‘Gregory’ has been in contact.”

Selena probably received most of the information about me from Mangot. You probably know what the ‘cabin incident’ is.

“All right.”

As expected, Selena answered without asking any more questions.

I think I’ll be able to keep my promise to Grobel sooner than I thought.

after school.

Queenie, the head of the Viet family, has a lot of worries these days even on her way home.

This is because, as a third-year student, she has to think about after graduation as she enters her second semester.

“Are you that worried about that? “You can just stay as the head of the family, eat well, and live well.”

My friend Anne, who was walking next to me, gave me a scolding. At first glance, I did not understand Queenie’s concerns, as Anne had already become the head of the family and had decided what to do.

“If I was just going to stay as a merchant, I wouldn’t even go to Constell.”

“Umm… … ?”

Queenie has a dream.

Her family, Viet, is a family that was on the verge of collapse. Because she restored it with Queenie’s power, she became the head of the family.

So why did Viet almost fall in the first place?

‘A family that just follows money has no power.’

Quinier believed that the reason the Viet family fell was because they did not have the strength to protect themselves.

Before she became the head of the family, the Viet family tried to resolve even the family’s protection and defense through diplomacy with other families. In other words, they attempted to trade financial gain and the family’s defense capabilities.

He tried to strengthen his family’s defenses by purchasing knights from other families, free knights, and, if necessary, mercenaries with money.

There were no particular problems at first. As long as fair trade continued, there was no problem with the family’s defense.

The problem came after the knights or family that the Viet family bought with money joined hands with a hostile family that was trying to overthrow Viet.

Viet, who lacked the power to defend himself, could not be free from coercion by force.

It was like making a deal with someone holding a knife at you. Of course it couldn’t work out.

‘For now, other families are just watching, but you never know when something like that will happen again.’

That’s why you have to prove it. Once she, the head of the family, has enough power, she won’t be able to mess with her again.

If you graduate from Constell, deal with monsters, and make enough achievements, knights will gather in her family. If that happens, she will be able to have a knight order under her family.

“The question is whether to become a professional or aim for a knighthood… … .”

When you become a professional, you will be given assignments, and to some extent, you can choose your own. In other words, it can be performed while also serving as the head of the household.

However, becoming a professional in itself does not mean much, so it takes time to achieve such achievements.

Conversely, once a knight becomes a knight, he receives recognition from surrounding families, and it becomes easier to recruit other knights. There are many cases where the head of the household is the knight commander himself.

The only question is whether the current Quinier and Viet family have the capacity to do so.

-Did you hear that rumor?

At that time, Queenie heard something that tickled her ears again. Two female students were walking and talking. After listening for a moment, it was nothing special, like someone confessing to someone.

“There seems to be a lot of gossip these days.”

Queenie is aware of the recent sparkling rumors. As a merchant, she naturally values ​​information, and most information, even the smallest details, flows to her.

“It’s a new semester. And this year’s first-year class has many very promising talents.”

“I envy young people.”

“huh. “They’re two years younger than us.”

Anne smiled and responded.

Queenie likes to spread rumors. Sometimes important information can be obtained from it. It is also my role to determine the truth.

… … but.

‘These days, I feel like there are too many.’

No matter how new the semester was, no matter how many promising first-year students performed.

This situation, with many rumors that have nothing to do with it spreading, is somehow strange.

Recent rumors are completely unconnected and sporadic.

It feels somewhat artificial.

“… … !”

At that time, Quinier stopped walking.

On one wall of the hallway where Queenie and Anna were passing, there was a large ‘magic poster’ attached.

The magic power was a method of writing on the wall using mana luminescence without the need for paper or pen.

At a glance, the writing looks like someone was playing a malicious prank. The main character was so large that it filled the empty space on the wall.

Its contents. Queenie was staring at Daejabo as if she were nailed there.

[Quinier de Viet has an extreme phobia of corpses.]

[Quinier de Viet did not enter Constell to improve his skills. He is hiding in Constell.]

“──Ha.”

Anne, who was next to me, let out a sigh and a sneer. I thought Queenie might be worrying unnecessarily so I said something.

“Well, if there’s a lot to talk about, rumors like that start to spread.”

“… … .”

“Quinier?”

Anne dismissed it as a rumor.

Queenie’s expression wasn’t like that.

Quinier squeezed her hand once, relaxed it, and then squeezed it again.

It was a habit of trying to hide the trembling.

two days later.

I heard Selena’s report from the mansion.

It’s only been a few days since she was asked to investigate Rockbell, but it seems Selena has already completed the investigation.

“Mr. Frontier. “Before I report, I want to ask you something.”

“what?”

“Master Frontier, can you believe my report?”

Selena is a member of Mangot. It is inevitable that she and I will be suspicious of each other.

I told Selena to betray Mangot, but that was only my one-sided promise. Selena can refuse if she wants to, and I have no way of knowing which side she is on.

However, I had some kind of confidence. That Selena will be my ally. And she doesn’t even have to be an ally.

As long as Selena knows who she is and has a desire to return to her family, she has no choice but to grant my request.

My order to Mangot to report about me ‘appropriately’. In fact, Selena is already following that order. Since I am not talking about ‘ancient languages’.

“Believe.”

“… … .”

“There is no reason not to believe it. “At least you have no reason to lie to me about this matter.”

“… … All right.”

Selena nodded deeply.

“First of all, Rockbell is safe.”

Starting with those first words, Selena’s report began.
