Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 12
Chapter 3 Fate Manipulation (3)
“Ugh. “It doesn’t work out as I thought.”
Cybel put her finger to her lips and was lost in thought.
‘Aster Evans… … .’
His divine power is very famous.
Normally, people who have received divine power are busy hiding it within their family, but when the owner of divine power is as good as Baldur, there is no need to do that.
Rather, it would be better to publicize it widely and benefit other families or organizations. So everyone knows Aster’s divine power regardless of his will.
On top of that, he has a strong network, sincerity, talent, and even an eye-catching appearance.
‘I really want to make it mine.’
But it doesn’t work out as expected.
I think he tried quite hard after Frontier left to recruit Queenie.
He was gently rejected with a gentle smile.
‘It was a proposal that paid attention to facial expressions, gestures, and even the tone of speech.’
A rhythm appears in Cybel’s movements as she walks. Soon she was walking as if she was doing a little dance.
Cybel has never faced much rejection in her life. The world always treats situations according to her taste.
So, she doesn’t understand unlucky people. She doesn’t understand human effort.
This is not to belittle the effort. Something you literally don’t know.
Because I believe that everyone is as lucky, as talented, and works just as hard as she does.
To her like that,
I’m not very familiar with ‘rejection’, and I don’t like it either.
Hehehe.
Click, click.
Ah, I can hear you. The sound of destiny aligning. The sound of the gears moving little by little to suit her.
Of course, Cybel knows that this sound is simply an auditory hallucination.
──Fate doesn’t make a sound.
Without any warning, fate has already prepared for her.

The dungeon I will participate in this time has a ‘sanctuary’.
People with divine power are given the opportunity to briefly encounter the owner of the divine power, that is, God.
Simple wishes can be granted, and just by saying the words a few times, one’s spiritual power becomes stronger.
This is truly the perfect place for Aster. So, according to the original game, Aster reaches there and sees Baldur.
Thanks to this, I can further increase Baldur’s power.
“There’s no need for me to go.”
Of course, it is useless to me as I have no spiritual power.
Let’s explore appropriately and watch Aster’s sanctuary event.
“oh.”
I saw Quinier waiting at Constell’s front door.
I felt a little relieved. It may not be possible for Queenie alone, but there was definitely a possibility that she would not come after making a deal.
“You came quickly.”
Queenie looked at me and waved her hands. The expression was subtle.
“Frondier, why did you participate in this dungeon raid?”
“Oh, I originally had no intention of participating. “Because I was singled out by Aster.”
“Aster Evans? hmm… … .”
Queenie looks at me and looks surprised. Are you friendly with Aster? It’s a face that looks like this.
“omg? what? “How could I be late?!”
A lively voice was heard from a little distance away, and Cybel was seen running hurriedly.
“Because I’m not late.”
Aster follows behind him, giving a calm voice.
Cybel ran in front of me and was panting.
“Aren’t you late?”
“The teacher hasn’t come yet, so what?”
“I see. thank god.”
Saibel is relieved. Soon she found Queenie and bowed curtsy to her.
“hello. This is Cybel Forte. “Please take care of me today.”
“nice to meet you. “It’s Quinier de Viette.”
Queenie also nodded sweetly.
It seemed like it was the first time they were meeting, but they continued their conversation.
To begin with, they are both good at dealing with people and being sociable. And there are some aspects in which they resemble each other a bit.
Now, here comes someone who is a bit uncomfortable for me.
While I brought Queenie, Cybel and Aster decided to bring the teacher.
“You all waited a long time, right?”
A determined, yet soft voice was heard.
Teacher Jane.
This is a female teacher I met as soon as I entered this world.
So, the person I saw on Wizard View’s tree branch and decided that it wasn’t Mystiltein.
I wouldn’t have any good feelings about it.
“This is Jane, who will be in charge of leading and guiding you today. Shall we go straight away?”

Jane smiled. Her face facing me was spotlessly clear.
… … First of all, that’s how I saw it.
* * *
Frontier and his companions traveled by car.
It takes about an hour to get to the dungeon by car. It was quite close so everyone was relieved.
Constell students who enter a dungeon are given leave depending on the size and danger of the dungeon.
The allotted period this time is three days. In it, you must complete the dungeon walkthrough.
“Arrived.”
After getting out of the car, Jane looked around the front of the dungeon.
“Mmm! good good. “It’s a very orthodox dungeon.”
The entrance to the dungeon was a rectangular passage made of stone. In front of it, there are stairs heading down.
The easiest way to recognize a dungeon is by the appearance of the entrance.
When the terrain changes into a dungeon, the dungeon changes its shape and becomes very noticeable.
As if inviting someone.
“Hey, this is a dungeon… … .”
Cybel looked around the dungeon entrance with sparkling eyes.
This must be your first time seeing a dungeon.
Frontier probably felt the same way, but he looked unimpressed.
“Now, from now on, Aster students, Frontier students, and Cybel students will go on field trips as much as possible! “Queenie and I will be exploring the dungeon.”
Dungeons are dangerous for first year students.
In fact, the traps lurking in the dungeon are more problematic than the monsters.
Constel is a place to train combatants, so it can respond to monsters, but is relatively vulnerable to traps.
“I will take the lead, and I will ask Queenie to take the back seat.”
“yes.”
From the front, Jane, Aster, Frondier, Cybel, and Quinier.
By all accounts, Frontier was the safest deployment. It is the result of judging reputation and skills.
“Let’s go.”
As I went down the stairs, I came into a large cave.
It looked like a natural cave. There were sparse flowers blooming between the moss and rocks. And countless stones on the floor.
Even if it weren’t for the entrance, it was hard to believe it was a dungeon.
“Let’s proceed with caution.”
Jane lowered her voice somewhat.
Then he took out the wand from his pocket and lit it.
Actually, Jane isn’t that nervous.
There is no particular danger if you stay with her in the low-level dungeon.
But since students can’t relax, they have to at least pretend to be nervous.
in between,
Queenie was at the back, observing the entire scene.
‘… … There’s really no tension, Frontier.’
It is visible to the girl in the back.
Unlike Aster and Cybel, Frontier’s gait was as if he were taking a walk.
Is that just nature?
Really, can you be that relaxed just by being lazy?
While Jane was walking in the lead, she discovered a hidden trap platform. Although it is an old-fashioned trap, it is surprisingly difficult to find in this place that looks like a natural cave.
Jane stopped walking.
“Aster, Frontier, stop for a moment… … uh?”
Jane stopped and looked behind her.
Frontier had already stopped walking.
Looking at him holding Aster’s arm, he even made Aster walk. Before Jane could warn me.
“… … “Do you know what’s in front of here?”
“It didn’t seem like I knew anything.”
Frondier pointed to the floor with his finger.
A stone that protrudes unnaturally. A trap platform discovered by Jane.
“Do you have nice eyes? Frontier County.”
“Amazing?”
“I was lucky.”
Frontier is humbled by Jane and Aster’s praise.
But I think I just kept it short because it was annoying.
Queenie watched the series of processes in silence.
Looking at the footholds discovered by Frontier, it’s definitely not something you can’t find if you look carefully.
‘Hmm, maybe I was really lucky.’
But then.
Quinier did not miss Frondier’s gaze.
‘… … ?’
Frondier’s gaze looked to the right from the stone floor where the trap was installed, and then straight towards the wall on the right.
A simple wall that has nothing to do with the passage we need to take now.
It was only for a moment that Frondier saw that wall, but there was a clear sense of discomfort.
“Okay, everyone, like Frontier said, let’s avoid that stone floor.”
Following Jane’s guidance, the four people in front of Queenie slowly avoided them.
But Quinier stopped in front of the stone floor.
… … Even with her eyes, which have trap disarming skills, she cannot know exactly what traps will be triggered and how when she steps on this stone floor.
However, it was Frontier’s gaze earlier.
The gaze that looked at the wall on the right.
“… … .”
Queenie spread her fan and stepped on the stone.
Shoo!
An arrow flew out from between the cracks in the stones of the right wall.
Kaang and Quinier lightly deflected the arrow with a fan.
Jane shouted in surprise.
“W-what are you doing, Queenie!”
“sorry. I think it would be better to remove it in advance. “I might come back this way again.”
“… … ha. I’m glad you weren’t hurt. “From next time, I’ll tell you things like that in advance.”
“Yes, sorry again.”
As Quinier answered, she looked at the arrow that had fallen on the floor.
‘… … It really came from the right.’
At the end of Frondier’s line of sight, at the right wall, an arrow flew right there.
Could it be that Frontier has advanced trap disarming skills that are superior to hers? Or have you mastered such knowledge?
Quinier saw Frondier. Frontier was also looking at her.
Only Frondier knows the true intentions of Queenie’s actions. He smiled very slightly, like someone who had been told a secret, and then turned to face forward again.
Queenie covered her mouth with a fan.
It’s a habit she does unconsciously when she laughs.
… … .
… .
Afterwards, Quinier observed Frondier’s every move more carefully.
Frontier did nothing.
A party with 3rd graders and professors in the lower level dungeon. Let alone a crisis, there is not even a chance for Frontier to function.
After Quinier deliberately set off the trap, Frondier was even more reluctant to step forward.
“Haam.”
Cybel clasped her hands together and placed them behind her head.
Aster next to him cautioned.
“Sibel, be on alert.”
“But it’s so boring. “The professor finds traps right away, and the monsters that come out every now and then are insignificant.”
This is Cybel’s first dungeon. I had quite a lot of expectations.
It stimulated my sense of adventure and curiosity, but I also wanted to see Aster in action. But he does almost nothing.
The trap is disarmed in advance, and if the monster comes from the front, Jane is annihilated, and if the monster comes from behind, Queenie is instantly annihilated.
‘I didn’t want this.’
Cybel saw Aster ahead. Aster didn’t look particularly bored. Occasionally I look around the wall as if checking the terrain, but that’s it.
──It’s not fun.
Cybel’s eyes sank.
I recommended it because I wanted to know about Aster. He wanted to get close to him by going dungeon crawling with him.
So, if you forced me to participate, it makes sense to satisfy my curiosity, right? Isn’t there something that should be here?
Something, something.
Klik, Kkiririk.
entertain me
At that time, Frontier touched the wall. At the moment when Cybel and Frontier were very close.
The hand that touched the wall caved in.
“uh?”
Frontier’s body tilted. The problem was that Cybel’s body also tilted.
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
The trap was simple.
When Frondier touched the wall, the 2m wall around Frondier fell forward. Of course, Cybel, who was with him, was also caught up in it.
At the same time, the floor they were standing on rose up. The wall became the floor, and the floor became the wall. As if a revolving door was installed on the floor.
“Ouch… … .”
Cybel stroked her head that hit the floor. She looked around and saw that she was none other than Frondier.
This is beyond the wall. A trap separated Frontier and Cybel from the remaining three.
“Uh, what should I do… … .”
Cybel pounded on the wall that was the floor.
“teacher! Here! “Can’t you hear me?!”
Once the trap was activated, it had no intention of moving again.
Cybel was scared. I can’t believe Frontier is alone in a place like this.
To her, Frondier, whose true feelings are completely unknown, is just an object to be wary of.
There’s no way you can lose in a head-on fight, but if you’re caught off guard, there’s no way you can win in a full-on fight.
“Sibel.”
“Yes?”
“I don’t think I can hear any voices over there. “Let’s move forward on our own.”
“… … Uh, yeah.”
Frontier behaved normally(?), contrary to what she had feared.
Cybel looks at Frondier’s back ahead of her and sighs in relief.
──Of course,
When Frontier activated the trap, it was intentional.
