Chapter 68 Reaction (2)
In the game Etius, there are good and bad actors.
But that’s not a game setting.
Temporary roles set by players through the exchange of information with each other and exchanges through the community.
There are a lot of Etius even if there are only named characters, and all of them have three-dimensional personalities.
Therefore, it is first divided into the largest branch. Those who help the attack are good actors, and those who interfere are the bad guys.
Because of this, the characters set in this way can become villains in good roles or vice versa due to certain variables.
Of course, players choose the good and the bad actors by getting a lot of information and repeated play so far. Only players whose roles have never changed.
Even so, someone could switch roles in the next play. Things that have never happened before can happen.
‘Is Elin-senpai corrupted?’
Of course, looking back and forth, it’s not impossible.
Before Dier entered the school, the character who was famous for having low mana was originally Elin.
Elin decided to improve her pure swordsmanship skills instead of low mana, and thanks to that, she established herself as the best swordsman in Constell.
Therefore, the desire for mana that Elin had will be stronger than anyone else.
Mana became a stumbling block throughout his growth, and even though he said he had reached the pole of his swordsmanship, many obstacles must have stood in the way for one reason of the lack of mana.
That thirst may be even greater than that of Dier.
However, Elin was a person who did not doubt that he was a good character for Frontier.
However, since the protagonist of Etius is actually Aster, Elin is only on Aster’s side, but may be an enemy to someone else. Even if it’s a frontier.
A good character can always be a bad guy.
Even if you’ve never seen such a sight.
‘But.’
Elin is now facing the Frontier, emitting a powerful aura.
The monster’s sudden mana boost, Elin’s instructions to let Roxy out and leaving only the two of them in the building, Elin’s words and actions now.
All of this tells that Elin has ‘fallen’.
“senior.”
Frontier kept his voice low.
“What happened?”
“… … .”
Frontier treated Elin in front of her as usual. That’s what Elin didn’t like.
“I hear that often too.”
As Elin spoke, she raised her sword and took a stance. Clean and elegant, at the same time, a battle posture that makes a huge fear fall on the opponent.
“You don’t even understand the atmosphere, Frontier.”

Elin’s sword with a horizontal blade. Elin was shot at Frontier with her blade.
It doesn’t do anything like kicking the ground, bending your knees, or crouching for elasticity.
It flies straight to the opponent as it is pointed towards the blade. As if a still screen suddenly appeared suddenly.
A terrifying blow that strikes the opponent in a single line as the body flies in a single line, with no indication of when to attack or how to approach it.
Aww!
With Elin’s blade, Frontier raised a short sword and clashed at the intersection.
“Awesome, Frontier. Are you blocking this?”
“Because I know… … !”
Frontier replied so, but a cold sweat broke out behind his back.
Originally, Elin didn’t use this skill very well. It can only be used when the opponent sees a clear gap, when he is vigilant, or for a base to get out of a crisis. This is because the mana originally possessed is low and cannot be used several times.
However, now that mana is overflowing, Elin only used this skill for ‘access’.
gang! Kaang! cackle!
Frontier blocked the sword that Elin swung several times. But at the same time I thought.
Apparently, Elin’s swordsmanship was far beyond the student’s level. Judging by the level of technology alone, it may be comparable to Atjie.
‘It’s at a disadvantage if you go to close combat.’
Frontier manipulated the Black Sky.
Shhh!
The Black Heavens gathered and became a thorn that threatened Elin. The burst of thorns filled without gaps in all directions seemed to completely imprison Elin, but
gang-
Kaga Gaga River!
The sequence is not completely simultaneous, but has an instantaneous sequence, and Elin struck them all “in order”.
“… … !”
And once again.
“Frondie, you.”
-I have no intention of doing it right.
一絲
Aww!
It was too late to raise the sword. Frontier made a quick decision and raised his arm. Ada screamed as she was struck by Elin’s sword. Fortunately, the band, which was making an unpleasant noise, did not crack any further.
“It’s stronger than I thought.”
“Let’s talk a little bit, Elin-senpai!”
“no.”
Shhh, Elin retrieved the sword and stabbed it again. This time three times in a row. Elin, who had an abundance of Aurors, seemed to have nothing to hide.
Swords and arrows can’t stop those three stabs.
‘Damn it.’

Renotorus
Aww!
Frontier crafted Ares’ shield and slashed Elin’s sword.
A divine shield that blocks all attacks in front, Renotorus. Frontier had no intention of weaving Ares’s spears and shields.
Because God Ares manipulated it, I couldn’t read all of the stats and detailed descriptions.
It is possible to weave and use it like this, but I was concerned that Ares would put something on his spear or shield if this happened.
‘… … There doesn’t seem to be any particular problem right now.’
Just in case you didn’t know, I canceled the shield again.
“It’s a mysterious shield.”
Elin, who slipped after being hit by the shield, said.
With those words, Ellie completed her attack stance again.
Of course, Frontier couldn’t just leave it there.

At the same time as weaving the bow and arrows of the gods, it shoots a black sky to block Elin’s escape route. Of course, Yongke was also an Elin who avoided cooking well.
“Stop.”
It was unreasonable to go beyond Frontier’s ‘view’.
“This arrow never misses. If you saw it, you would know.”
Of course, the condition is that you must be within Frontier’s field of vision, but you don’t have to say that.
“Shoot, Frontier.”
But Elin said.
It wasn’t the pride of being able to avoid it. Elin was right.
“If you don’t shoot me now, other kids will be in danger.”
“… … Are you saying that your purpose was to bind my feet in the first place?”
“Well, that’s what it is.”
As long as Frontier is here, of course, you cannot use ‘fireworks’ to defeat one monster.
“… … .”
“what’s the matter? Shoot it, Frontier.”
Elin stood still with her attacking posture relaxed. It was an easy-to-understand attack.
Frontier opened his mouth, aiming at Elin.
“Senior, do you remember?”
“What?”
“The day we stopped Edwin-senpai together, during the Golem Incident.”
“… … .”
On the day that Edwin was induced by Hephaestus and caused the incident, Elin stopped Edwin before Frontier. To bring back a friend who has fallen into a strange path.
“Then I said. Edwin-senpai can’t kill anyone.”
“… … I don’t remember very well.”
“The same goes for seniors.”
“… … .”
Elin looked at Frontier silently. As if piercing through Frontier’s thoughts.
But it was the same with Frontier.
“Am I stranded? That doesn’t really matter anymore. In Constell, there are many outstanding students besides me, and they also grew up with the courage to die during vacation.”
Frontier knows Aster Evans.
When playing as the main character, the factor that makes Aster the strongest is the appearance of another strong man.
In the beginning, it was Robald, and then so did the numerous enemies, and so did the Zodiac, and the mythical monsters that lie far and wide outside.
Aster now has an existence called Frontier.
He will never stop here.
‘There’s no way you don’t know that.’
Elin Evans is Aster’s older sister.
As for Aster, you would know better than Frontier.
For Aster and Elodie and other students right now, there were no students who would become dangerous because they were the trembling of the monsters outside, and even if the deteriorated plate boosted their mana a little. They will solve it quickly and move on to help other students.
That’s why Frontier’s behavior is even more bizarre.
“Frondie. At the time of the Golem incident, I saw Edwin as a complete enemy at the time and fought. I think you still lack that. You should take this opportunity to learn to doubt.”
Elin’s words.
Frontier’s eyes quickly became cold. Memories that had been forgotten for a while slowly surfaced on the surface.
“… … like that.”
A voice that slowly spit out echoed in a mournful tone.
“I’ve already done it countless times.”
“… … What?”
The game Etius is a world where everything is uncertain.
We don’t know what lies beyond the realm of humans, we don’t know what clearing the game is, and we don’t know what each character thinks.
It was natural for players to get caught up in doubts over repeated game overs.
Broadly, starting with the suspicion of ‘Isn’t it a game without clearing?’
In the past, ‘Is the main character a pioneer in the end?’ to suspicion.
Frontier, of course, went through the process, and most of them quit the game in the process.
I’m playing a game, but I don’t trust the characters in the game, I don’t believe what’s written in the book, and I doubt every word they say, every action they say.
And when you fall into the shadow of doubt that you don’t trust people, even if the game doesn’t tell you, it’s already the point of ‘game over’.
‘If you don’t believe in anything, you can’t go anywhere.’
In the end, if you want to take even one step forward in the game Etius, you have to believe in something.

Nothing can be known Just like reality, building up what you believe to be right one by one.Doubt always runs on the basis of belief.
Whatever you decide to believe will not be shaken no matter what.
Frontier who played Etius more than anyone else. For him, belief is the only basis and key to the strategy of this game.
And Elin is included in that foundation.
“Of course, there is no such thing as an unshakable belief for me.”
Reckless belief is the same as a person who believes rock-paper-scissors is a game of probability and gives only rocks unconditionally.
Even if there is trust that Elin has shown in her plays so far, it is the same.
Faith always presupposes each other.
“You told me to shoot an arrow.”
Frontier’s cool eyes shot at Elin.
“I will say the opposite.”
Strengthening the bowstring, said Frontier.
“Take one step from there.”
“… … !”
It’s fair to say that Elin has already been corrupted enough just by looking at her outward appearance.
The reason Frontier hasn’t turned her into an enemy yet is simply because she’s ‘Elin Evans’.
However, Frontier is not immature enough to even look at things like that if they go overboard.
“I made enough concessions to my seniors. Seniors will too. It reminded me of my older brother while fighting with my senior.”
Just as Frontier had no intention of killing Elin, so was Elin.
Elin herself answers with the excuse that it is ‘to keep her feet tied’.
“The fact that Elin-senpai doesn’t move there is the last line I can yield to him.”
Elin said to Frontier, ‘Shoot’. As if knowing that Frontier wouldn’t shoot.
But if you’re sure that Frontier isn’t really shooting, then Elin can move on her own. If Frontier doesn’t shoot, she’ll regain the upper hand.
In other words, in fact, Elin knew it too.
What it means to break this deadlock.
“I have no idea what kind of process the senior went through, and he was injected with mana, and he is now confronting me.”
I don’t know any.
that too.
“The seniors will too. You know nothing about me.”
As Frontier spoke, he had never seen him during a sword fight with Elin.
Slowly raising ‘living’, I told her.
“I will say it again. Try moving. From then on, I will do whatever Elin-senpai wants me to do.”
Frontier’s life was suddenly contained in his voice, eyes, and even the slight trembling of the bow-pulling demonstration, filling the building and stabbing him at Elin.
As if the black stream reacted to it, it swayed like a wave and raised a sharp blade against Elin.
“As an enemy, I will kill you.”
