Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 26
Chapter 8 Fraud
The first thing thrown was a dagger.
The next one, judging by its throwing stance, is a type of spear.
What he swung after getting close was probably a two-handed sword.
Elin is now watching Frontier’s fight. Over and over again.
After seeing the scene countless times, I was able to figure out the identity of Frontier’s invisible weapons one by one. I had a glimpse of the type, length, and weight of the weapon.
And last.
The sword with which Frondier cut down the golem.
Only the sword was not transparent and was clearly visible to Elin’s eyes.
Frondier didn’t even use aura, and even the cutting technique was clumsy, but it easily cut down the golem.
Most likely, the weapon itself is of a different class.
But, somehow.
I think I saw it somewhere──
“Elin, Elin!”
“… … !”
Elin opened her eyes. She was in class.
Giselle, a classmate, was waving her hand in front of Elin.
“What’s going on? The kid who used to sleep only when walking around, now sleeps in the classroom. No, is this more normal? Should I say I’m fortunate?”
“I didn’t sleep.”
slept.
Elin, who had trouble sleeping, surprisingly reached the stage where she could dream the dreams she wanted.
If it is a recent incident, it is even possible to recall it by looking back at the memory like now.
Anyway, Frontier is a very mysterious person.
An incompetent person who is lazy, has no desire for improvement or ambition, and whose talent is limited to a mediocre one, who only brings honor to the family name.
… … That’s definitely what I heard from the rumors.
Rumors are inherently unreliable, but can they be this much different?
What on earth did the people who spread the rumor see in Frontier?
“How about your side?”
“… … “Oh, it’s okay.”
While answering Giselle, Elin looked at her side.
I’m still wearing a bandage, but the pain isn’t enough to make life uncomfortable. Of course, this is based on her own standards.
I dodged the golem’s spear, but it is true that the cut was quite deep.
“Well, I just sleep every day and recover quickly from this side. “Is your physical strength good or bad?”
“I walk while I sleep as a way to conserve energy.”
“yes yes. “I know.”
Giselle waved her hand to stop listening to Elin’s boring explanation.
Well, Elin felt a little embarrassed and spoke in unison. Did she talk about this so much?
“No matter how much it happened to my friend, I was too reckless on my own. Either call more people or tell the teacher. “I’m glad it was resolved.”
“… … There was no such situation. Edwin’s condition seemed dangerous.”
Elin felt a little guilty as she spoke.
As Giselle said, the other students at Constell think that Elin solved this case alone.
In fact, she doesn’t know that there is another person who has contributed more than her. But Elin didn’t say that.
This was, after all, a request from Frontier, who was a person of merit.
-You don’t have to lie, but please don’t tell others that I was there that day. It gets complicated for no reason. There may also be some misunderstanding with senior Edwin.
Since he said it that way, Elin didn’t intentionally say that Frontier was there.
… … Could it be that Frontier has been hiding his achievements like this until now?
… … no way?
“You said I need to get the sword again?”
“huh. “I’m going to find out today.”
After fighting the golem, Elin’s sword was broken.
It was because of the technique of taking away the opponent’s weapon, ‘falling’.
It is said that Ajie’s original ‘fall’ does not even leave a scratch on the opponent’s weapon.
However, the golem’s fall was so rough and rough that her sword was already tattered.
… … I’m a little annoyed that I fell victim to such crude technology.
However, he has become too far removed from the blacksmith he was originally indebted to.
Both Elin and her younger brother Aster came this far to enter Constell.
So, I need to find a weapon shop or blacksmith near Constel.
Giselle smirked.
“Would you like me to go with you? Elin, for some reason, I think it would be perfect to go to change weapons and get scammed.”
“… … Ugh, no, that’s enough.”
Actually, I was going to ask for it first, but I don’t want to ask for it when it comes out like that.
Yes, you have to see it with your own eyes and decide for yourself.
I’m being scammed. Who cares about who?
* * *
“Sir, if you have a sword, wouldn’t it be right to choose a companion for the rest of your life?”
“… … “That’s a reasonable thing to say, but,”
“Is that so? That’s why you have to use our sword made of non-powdered steel-”

I felt dizzy.
Elin’s eyes were spinning as the merchant’s lengthy explanation poured out to her.
At first, she was clearly examining the swords closely with her own eyes.
However, the merchant quietly approached me and recommended various weapons, and the price gradually increased until it reached this point.
I think I will be pushed by the momentum and flow and if things continue like this, I will buy this sword. And the thought that it would be okay to buy it at this level secretly arises.
In fact, the purchase has already been decided, and all that remains is self-justification within her.
The perspicacious merchant noticed this and spoke with even more enthusiasm.
“How are you? A famous sword made from the highest purity loquat steel does not negotiate on price. However, if you have it, it will be a reliable companion that can protect your own safety and the lives of your precious people-”
“That’s the Pipa River?”
At that time, a voice was heard interrupting the merchant.
The merchant quickly turned his head and smiled kindly at the man who had stopped talking.
“Oh, of course. “It is steel made through a special process by obtaining ore from the ‘One Year Glacier Basteres’ in the north.”
The man was quietly looking at the sword, as if he was listening to the merchant’s explanation or not.
And Elin was a little surprised and looked at the man blankly.
The man was Frontier.
“How are you, our guests? “If you use a sword, this item is perfect.”
There Frondier laughed. I don’t know what the merchant said was funny, but Frondier said:
“It’s like looking at a cubic object and calling it a diamond.”
“… … ?? “What?”
The merchant was dumbfounded for a moment by Frondier’s calm words, but quickly gathered his brows. Elin, who was listening, was surprised and looked at her sword again.
That means this is fake?
“Why are you suddenly starting a fight? “Are you saying this is fake?”
“yes. “Let alone loquat steel, it is mixed with impurities and cannot be properly made into steel, so to speak, it is miscellaneous gold.”
“Now, miscellaneous? hey! This young Nomu Shikya! Let’s see! Let’s see! Do you have any proof?! “Where are you talking nonsense like that?”
The merchant was furious, his anger stretching all the way to the ceiling. Even though he was listening to the sound right next to him, Frondier remained calm.
Indeed, at that point, Frontier’s Taeyeonjayak is also worthy of respect.
Proof, Frondier muttered peacefully,
He held the famous sword, which was said to be so great, in his hand and raised it horizontally, and then slashed the front of it from top to bottom with his other hand.
Clang!
For some strange phenomenon, my hand brushed the front of the sword in the air, and a loud sound was heard.
And the sword was broken in two.
“Huh, huh!”
The merchant stepped back in surprise.
Rather than the fact that the sword was broken itself, he was probably more surprised by the fact that he broke it with his bare hands. That’s how it will look to the average person.
Of course, Elin knows a little bit about his identity, but of course she keeps quiet here.
“If you promote a sword like this as a pipa steel, I don’t know, but the ‘Smished’ association won’t just ignore it.”
“I-I didn’t know! “I’m just a merchant who receives and introduces goods!”
“okay. The producers who provide you with the goods, including you, have all committed crimes. “I need to catch them all.”
“Well, that’s possible?”
“sure. Enough in Roach’s name.”
‘Roach’. As soon as the name was mentioned the merchant fell to his knees. His upper body was completely bent and flattened.
“sorry. It’s my personal fault. Similar promotions have yielded good returns several times in the past. “Other people don’t care.”
Even without asking, he is revealing every detail of his past crimes.
Frondier shrugged his shoulders at that and looked at Elin.
“So, what should we do?”
“… … Umm, me?”
“sure. “The reason I almost got scammed was because I was a senior.”
Elin’s eyes wandered, not knowing how to react.
I see, I really almost got scammed.
“Well, should I report it?”
Although she almost got scammed, Elin was ruthless when it came to crime.
She didn’t get caught up in the scam because she was weak.
It’s just that I didn’t know much.
A merchant’s voice was heard, sighing and despairing.
* * *
“Then why are you asking for a sword? What was there originally?”
“It’s broken so I can’t use it. “Because of the golem’s fall.”
After leaving the weapon shop, the two walked down a brick road.
‘Lubagne’, an area near Constel, famous for its various shops and restaurants.
Frondier tilted his head while eating Louvanne’s famous ‘double-egg egg bread.’
“In the fall… … ?”
“huh. “I guess what the golem did wasn’t a proper fall.”
At those words, Frontier seemed to be thinking about something.
I see, the unfinished fall will damage the opponent’s weapon. I heard such a murmur.
“you? You also lost your weapon in the fall. “I caught it again.”
Elin recalled the weapon Frontier showed her last time.
If you think about it, it was strange. The weapon must have been damaged due to the fall, but Frondier reacted as if it wasn’t like that at all.
“ah… … . Mine was in bad condition from the start. “After that incident, it became more damaged, so I did something about it, but I didn’t know it was because of the fall.”
It took a while for Frontier to come up with a plausible answer.
Elin remembered the shape of the sword.
Well, the design and casting method looked old.
… … The more I think about it, the more I think it’s a sword I’ve seen before.
“But it’s better to leave it to a trustworthy blacksmith rather than stopping by a black weapon shop.”
“It used to be like that, but since I came to Constel, I don’t have those connections.”
Elin spoke calmly, but when the situation reached this point, she realized that she was in a more difficult position than she thought.
Her situation is similar to that of her younger brother Aster.
Unless we find some solution.
“Then, shall I introduce you?”
Then Frontier spoke.
“Do you know a blacksmith?”
“yes. Oh, it’s not an introduction. “Because we are not friends.”
Frondier made a strange noise.
“You know a blacksmith, but you’re not acquainted with him?”
“Well, there are circumstances that are too difficult to talk about. But he is truly trustworthy.”
Elin thought for a moment. But the worries did not last long. She decided to trust Frontier.
If you don’t do that in the first place, you might get scammed again. Frontier, who just caught the fraud, is much better.
“Then don’t be shy.”
“What.”
Frontier answered briefly. As if it really wasn’t a big deal.
Elin looked at Frondier’s side face for a moment.
Frontier’s face is clearly drowsy. He also looked sleepy.
If I had seen myself sleeping, would I have looked like this? Elin suddenly thought.
“… … Frontier.”
“yes.”
“Why are you helping me?”
“… … .”
“Why, just like last time and this time too.”
Elin had asked before. Why did she save me? Just before she collapsed, Frondier looked at Elin and said, ‘She is someone who should not die.’
I’m not sure what that means.
If you simply think one-dimensionally, you end up with very childish thoughts.
The favor that Frontier is showing me may be-
“… … “Senior Elin,”
Frondier opened his mouth. He looked at Elin quietly and seemed to be contemplating what to say to her.
Even the gap between worries was as if Frontier had taken Elin,
“It’s like a child released into the water.”
“… … what?”
“You have sleepwalking skills.”
“… … No, that’s not sleepwalking, it’s a sleeping method created to preserve energy in case of an emergency.”
“I almost got scammed a while ago.”
“I have nothing to say about that.”
Frondier laughed at Elin’s honest admission.
“There are not many people I worry about. “Everyone just worries about me.”
Come to think of it, I wonder if that human sloth Frontier is worried about me.
Constel: Am I the most skilled swordsman in the world?
… … There’s something humiliating.
“That worry is an illusion. “I didn’t experience anything like this before, so I’m sure I’ll get used to it quickly. Even when I’m walking and sleeping, if something dangerous happens, I wake up on my own, and I’m smarter than I thought.”
“A wise saying is something to use in times like this.”
Frondier answered playfully.
That was clearly a return to the answer Elin had given to the merchant earlier.
… … No, wait?
then?
“… … Since when have you been watching? “I’m talking to that merchant.”
“From the moment the merchant asked, ‘Sir, that sword is good, but how about this one here?’”
It’s almost my first time.
“So you were watching me get involved with that person the whole time?”
“Ah, then I will contact you separately regarding the blacksmith.”
“You’re not answering properly?”
