Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 356

Chapter 104: Quantum (4)

The very next day after telling Monty.

I returned to Monty’s residence and headed to his sparring hall.

and,

Pow!

From Noble mtl dot com

Rolling and rolling.

“… … .”

“… … .”

I brushed myself off and stood up.

“Now, let’s keep going.”

“Are you sure you really defeated Belphegor?”

I tried to just move on, but Monty wouldn’t let me.

About 30 minutes after we started sparring.

Monty handed me various weapons one by one and tried to check my skills.

And my skills were not much different from what I originally thought.

“You’re quite fearless, asking me to teach you all weapon techniques in this condition.”

Monty said, shaking his head.

Except for the sword, which I had been using from the beginning, I was desperately weak in weapons such as spears, blunt weapons, axes, and hammers.

“And the sword is of a very high standard.”

“I defeated Belphegor with this.”

“All I can say is that it was really luck.”

Monty sighed.

“The basis of your power lies in ‘prediction.’ I understand that. But you tend to believe it too much. There is no preparation at all for when something goes wrong. “He’s too defensive when blocking, but too reckless when attacking.”

hmm. There was nothing to refute.

That’s probably due to the influence of Atjie’s unique training.

In my training with Ajie, I always repeated sparring that was close to the actual fight.

I am confident that the problem that Ajie gave me at that time was a difficult problem that no one would be able to present now.

Because of this, I was surprisingly more confident in defense than attack. I became familiar with each attack method and how to deal with continuous movements.

But after that defense, it doesn’t translate well into offense.

“I understand very well what kind of training you received. And it’s not bad. To live as a professional, it is important to respond to various unexpected situations. Defense against enemy attacks is more important than anything else. “Because I have to live for now.”

First of all, you have to live.

That was probably the only line Ajie thought about while teaching me.

“Your prediction must have worked out well when fighting Belphegor. But unless you’re really looking into the future, that approach is reckless. If you were wrong even once, it was the end. “Isn’t that right?”

“… … you’re right.”

From beginning to end, the fight with Belphegor was a mess of bluffs, deception, and random arguments. If I hadn’t done that, I would never have been able to win.

… … Maybe it was because Belphegor was boasting about his own characteristics, or maybe it was because he was too ‘lazy’.

“If your opponent clearly understands your current state, it will be very easy for your opponent to defeat you.”

“I was confident in my defense.”

“I guess so. That’s the problem. I told you before. “The gap between defense and offense is too large.”

“… … ah. “It’s obvious.”

“yes.”

If I’m just playing defense, my opponent won’t be able to attack me easily.

But that doesn’t mean the fight is over. If I want to win, I have to attack my opponent.

And that is when I am at my weakest, and any enemy who knows me will target that.

“It’s ironic that the moment I attack is also my weakest moment.”

“You speak so carefreely. “After getting beaten up like that just a moment ago.”

“I didn’t get it. “I just got hit a little bit.”

“Look at yourself and tell me.”

hmm. Well, he didn’t see my face after we started sparring. There isn’t a mirror nearby.

However, Selena’s face, who was watching from the side, gradually darkened, and now she was almost crying, so I was only able to get a general idea.

“It is impossible to use all my weapon skills in that condition.”

“Monty, you were in the same state as me at first, weren’t you?”

“Of course I did. “Even though he was bigger, stronger, and faster than you.”

Is that the same situation?

“Also, my eyes were good. The technology’s observation skills were also excellent. His adaptability to weapons was also unrivaled. Ever since I was a beginner, I had no doubt that I would become a Zodiac. “Everyone around me saw it that way too.”

Hmm, as Monty said that, he shook his head as if reminiscing.

I didn’t ask this to hear this.

“I want to be good with all weapons. If you, Monty, the Weapon Master, tell me how you got to that position and the process, I will learn.”

“Of course I intend to. I didn’t make you my best disciple for nothing. but… … .”

Monty glanced into my eyes and said.

“It seems like you want to learn it much faster than the time period I assumed.”

“… … !”

“I know you were called a human sloth. It continued until Constel’s first year. And you are now nearing the end of your second year. “I will be in the third grade in a little while.”

“… … you’re right.”

“In other words, your growth period is less than two years. “If I had hidden powers even before I entered Constell, that would be another story.”

There was no such thing as hidden power.

Less than two years have passed since I was literally possessed.

“You defeated Belphegor. The Seven Sins are beings on the same level as God. “An ordinary student from Constel, no, a student who I heard was far below ordinary defeated a being of that caliber.”

“… … .”

“Frondier, you haven’t grown up. No matter what talent I gather, I can’t grow like you. Besides, as I can see now, if you have mediocre skills as a warrior.”

It hasn’t grown.

A word that literally pierces my heart.

“If you learned from Ajie, you would know. Swordsmanship is probably what you invested the most time into. After investing two years, the only thing you can do well is defense. To be honest, even at this level, it can be said that the talent is outstanding. As you said, if you decide to just defend, it will be difficult for anyone to attack you.”

Defense is the only thing that can be done properly after investing two years.

If I think about it calmly, it clearly proves the imbalance of power I have right now.

I have never defeated any enemy with pure weaponry. I overcame it by using the power of the weapon itself and the situation where the opponent had no choice but to choose one side.

‘… … No, it’s a bit strange to talk about it without Heukcheon and Menosorpo.’

Of course, using those two is my skill, but anyway, I use ‘Weaving’ as a weapon duplication.

Since you have chosen that path, it is natural to use your weapons well.

“In other words, it takes a lot more time than I thought to use all the weapons well.”

“Yes… … “I want to say that.”

Monty grinned while speaking like that.

“If you want to get stronger quickly, there is a way.”

“Is that true?”

“Of course. Instead, the method is,”

“It must be a difficult, difficult, dangerous and painful way.”

Monty nodded, seemingly satisfied with what I said.

“It seems quite familiar.”

“I had to do something to defeat Belphegor within two years.”

hahahaha, Monty laughed heartily at my words.

“It’s as if you knew Belphegor would come two years ago.”

“… … ha ha ha. “It means that he approached it with that much determination.”

Of course I knew that.

That’s why I did everything I could to fight.

“Yeah, good.”

Monty’s eyes lit up.

“Frondier, the hero who defeated Belphegor. Compared to the path you have walked so far, the training you will do from now on will be nothing compared to that. Now that I think about it, Constel is about to go on winter vacation. “It just so happened to be good.”

“Your tone of voice makes me anxious for no reason.”

“Think of your most difficult time.”

Monty’s words made me think back to the past for a moment.

It’s hard to choose the one that’s the hardest. The fight with Belphegor… … . Or maybe it’s Yeranhesryeo. Tayvon was difficult, and the fight with Renzo was terrible.

Monty said while I was recalling various memories.

“This exercise will be 5% easier than that.”

“… … “Do you know what my most difficult memory is when you say that?”

Also, 5%. If it’s just that easy, it’s not easy at all. It’s very special.

“But for now, let’s rest today.”

“I can start right away.”

“It’s more painful and difficult to see your face now.”

“… … .”

I saw Selena. He was nodding his head repeatedly as if he strongly agreed with what Monty said.

Monty glanced at Selena and said.

“Learn a lot from that kid too. “Right now, I’m closer to a weapon master than you.”

“What can I learn?”

“anything. Weapon Master means being proficient in all weapons. This applies both when holding it in one’s own hand and when dealing with an opponent’s weapon. Weapons have different shapes, but ultimately come down to one thing. “What do you think that is?”

“… … “I think it’s about defeating your opponent.”

“Yes.”

I thought it was a wild idea, but Monty nodded neatly.

“The one thing that all weapons boil down to. It was created to defeat enemies. “If you can learn that principle, your skills with all weapons will naturally improve.”

“Is there really such a thing? “Is there a principle that applies to all weapons?”

“If I could say it in words, I would have taught it a long time ago, but in the end, you have to experience it to know. Face as many weapons as possible. “You will naturally realize something.”

“All right.”

I bowed my head and approached Selena.

Then he said.

“Then, please take care of me.”

Selena answered.

“Rest now!!”

* * *

My second year at Constel is coming to an end.

I wanted to at least attend the vacation ceremony, but I couldn’t.

If I go, Constel will be in an uproar, and the school vacation ceremony, which should be completed in such a short period of time, will not proceed properly.

It would be okay if it ended simply as a fuss, but due to the nature of the organization called Constel, there was a high possibility that all kinds of professionals and prestigious nobles would approach me.

The plan is to get to know each other and secure friendship, even if it is late. Plus, it would be better if you could scout as well.

To be honest, I thought it was possible, but the student council president Elin senior and president Ospreet came to me and told me.

Really, is it really that bad? I wanted to, but this was the first time I saw senior Elin shake her head so resolutely.

‘When I was in the previous world, when I became famous, I wanted to go to places like schools and hear cheers.’

After all, when you face reality, things don’t go as planned.

Instead, I decided to meet the people I needed to meet separately.

“Senior Elin, you’re going to become a teacher?”

I visited Elin and was surprised to hear her story.

This is Elin, who originally decided to become a professional. So, I have been performing temporary missions since my second year.

“That professional.”

Elin said.

“You found out Eden’s true identity.”

“… … ah.”

Come to think of it, it was like that. Elin was under Eden Pro.

“After that, I started thinking a lot. “It is true that I am short on mana, and I think it will be a bit difficult to live as a professional in the future.”

The weakness of Elin, a swordsman genius. Extremely low mana amount.

However, when Elin said that, her eyes were so sparkling that instead of showing any sense of inferiority, I tilted my head.

“… … Come to think of it, senior.”

“huh?”

“The demons who infiltrated the school also attacked seniors, right?”

If Satan’s demons were planning to threaten me, wouldn’t they have turned to Elin as well?

Wasn’t Elin dangerous?

“Yes, he came, but I defeated him.”

“okay.”

“huh.”

“… … “No, is that the end?”

“It’s over.”

I narrowed my eyes there.

Very, very suspicious.

“… … “Senior, you’re not quitting being a professional because you think you’re limited, right?”

It’s definitely true.

Elin has grown up. I don’t know if the mana amount has been improved, or if it has become stronger even with that small amount of mana.

It is clear evidence that those demons were defeated without difficulty.

“I got caught.”

Elin said so,

“Actually, I’m interested in teaching.”

“Interested?”

“okay. Surprisingly, I might have a talent for teaching.”

“… … ah. I see.”

I can guess.

A flash.

A variation of the technique Elin taught Aster, ‘Ilsa’.

“Of course, it was my cocky younger brother who completed Ilseom, but I gave him the hint.”

“Hoo.”

“I thought it was impossible to teach Ilsa to my younger brother. That’s not in the textbook, it’s a technique I created. “I never thought about passing it on to others, but as I did it, it became clearer, and while I was teaching, I realized what it meant to learn.”

Well, I know that Aster is talented, but it doesn’t make sense that the person who teaches such a skill is incompetent.

After hearing that, I thought for a moment.

“Then, can I teach you this vacation?”

“huh? “Ilsa?”

“no. Just the basics of swordsmanship.”

Elin gathered her eyebrows together as if she didn’t understand.

“Do you need to learn the basics?”

“sure.”

“… … “You defeated Belphegor?”

“… … I need.”

Is this what it feels like from a third person’s perspective? I’m really embarrassed to say it too.

“Well, okay. “If you want to become a teacher in the future, experience is more important than anything else.”

“thank you. “Then can I come visit you every day from 1 to 3?”

“Why is the time zone so accurate?”

I took out my phone and wrote down my schedule.

Then he said:

“During winter break, there are a lot of people I need to learn.”

“What are you learning?”

“All weapons.”
