Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 53

Chapter 15 Fishing (2)

Frontier’s record breaking was soon announced throughout Constell.

Soon, the faculty members in charge of the training room program gathered and started a re-inspection.

This is not because Frontier’s record breaking is not sure, but because the 3.14 second figure is too unreasonable.

“Yes, I am ready.”

Said Jane, a missionary in the middle of the private training room.

Several magical spheres were already floating around Jane.

After confirming that, the faculty rigged the test.

‘Target’ is the highest difficulty.

“Well then, let’s begin!”

Faculty members run the tests.

Jane fired multiple magic spheres at the target.

After a while,

“… … Hmm, it works.”

The record is 34.6 seconds.

The teachers gathered and scratched their heads.

There were no problems with the test function.

Jane’s record was shorter than her previous one, but it was not significant.

“If you finish casting the magic in advance and have someone else manipulate the program for you, it will only save 1 or 2 seconds at most.”

“The record holder of 31.5 seconds, which was the previous best record, said that he was good at high-speed burst. In other words, instead of hitting each target individually, a large number of bullets were fired.”

“Then the record of 3.14 seconds makes even more sense.”

The program currently has no malfunctions or typographical errors.

This means that the records of Frontier are true unless they are broken and fixed at will.

During that conversation, one of the faculty members opened their mouth.

“Can’t a guy named Frontier be good at programming? If you are hacking or cheating in moderation-”

When he had said that far, the other teachers looked at him with their eyes wide open.

The man didn’t understand why the people around him looked like that for a moment, but soon realized that his face went cold.

“… … Well, it cannot be ruled out as a possibility.”

It was Malia who said that.

Malia de Roach, Frontier’s mother.

In this place with her, the man’s remarks were too little, even if he didn’t notice.

“But Frontier has no talent for that. I’d rather have some talent than that. Even at home, I never dealt with the program. Could it be an answer?”

“Yes, yes. sorry. Malia.”

“I’m sorry. It was a good guess.”

Malia said with a laugh.

It just looked cold and frightening in the eyes of a man, but Malia was quite sincere.

‘… … But if it’s not a hack, how did you really do it?’

Malia watched Jane test.

The record of 3.14 seconds is difficult to convince anyone other than Frontier.

I don’t know how in the first place.

“Magic ‘chain lightning’? Lightning strikes the target in a chain.”

“Not through. The target is just a hologram, so there is no lightning. And if it was that simple, the record would have been broken before.”

Lightning is fast, but due to its nature, it cannot be cohesive with magic bullets. Moreover, it is surprisingly difficult to match.

In the end, considering the efficiency, there is no choice but to use a large number of magic bullets.

‘Targets only appear after the test has begun. In other words, the moment the test starts, the number of targets is grasped at a glance, and after making enough magic bullets, all of them are given guidance properties… … .’

to be foolish

It’s futile, but it’s the only possibility I can think of right now.

When the story progressed up to that point, Teacher Alex, who had been quiet, said:

“But was Frontier a wizard?”

At that, everyone closed their eyes for a moment.

Their eyes turned to Jane Teacher.

Jane was the only one who knew Frontier here.

I have experience going to dungeons together.

“… … That, okay?”

But Jane couldn’t give a cool answer either.

Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Frontier fight.

At the time of attacking the dungeon, it was separated from Frontier due to a trap along the way.

‘But the outfit wasn’t that of a wizard. He was also holding a dagger.’

At that time, the dagger that Frontier was holding was a basic dagger for capture, but it was also true that there was no weapon other than that.

“Isn’t it better to ask yourself what happened? It doesn’t seem to be a program error either. Let’s think positively. If 3.14 seconds is a record without lies, then there is a student at Constell who will set the standard for genius again.”

“Um, yes, but… … .”

At the words of Teacher Alex, the other faculty members gave troubled faces.

In fact, most of the teachers have consistently maintained a close contempt for Frontier, no matter how good it was.

It’s hard to understand even if you suddenly set such an absurd record.

And there is an immediate problem.

One of the staff spoke up.

“Then, who are you asking?”

* * *

So now.

I looked at the two teachers sitting in front of me with a somewhat absurd feeling.

Teacher Jane and her mother, Malia, a health teacher.

“So you came to ask how I set the record.”

“Um, well, that’s it.”

Jane answered with a frown on her face.

In the end, it was as if all the teachers who checked it said that they could not reveal their identity.

I thought for a moment.

Breaking the record for hitting a target was an unexpected accident.

I once again reduced the power of the new weapon.

‘… … But if things went like this, the stone would have rolled better.’

This place with only teachers Jane and Malia.

And these two are perfect leaders who have never been corrupted in the game.

I can’t help but take advantage of this situation.

It was especially fortunate that Malia was here.

Malia has a ‘blood magic’ similar to how Philly inherits ‘wisdom’, and that magic was absolutely necessary in my plan.

“So how did you do it? How were you able to cut the record by 27 seconds?”

“… … Teacher, what do you think I did?”

I asked.

Jane’s eyes narrowed.

You’d rather not like me asking.

But it’s up to me to say it anyway.

Jane looked at me for a moment and then said as if giving up.

“… … The teaching staff believes that it generates a lot of magic bullets, or that the induction attribute is attached to the burst option.”

indeed.

No one seems to think they shot with a bow.

Actually, there are not one or two targets, and it is difficult to imagine in the first place.

It’s hard to believe without seeing it for yourself that an arrow splits at will.

It seems very far-fetched to find out the truth through the opinions of teachers.

‘If it was Aten, I would have known what he did.’

Aten saw Iokeira split up while fighting Renzo, so it’s possible to guess.

I hope you don’t say anything stupid as much as possible.

And Aten would do that.

“Then it’s the frontier’s turn to answer.”

“… … The conversation here now won’t leak, will it?”

“Of course. That’s why I set up a separate seat for myself.”

“Are you sure?”

“It’s a security magic created by me and Malia-sensei. No information is leaking into this classroom.”

Okay, I know everything I want to know.

I put my hands together.

It feels like Jane and Malia’s eyes are focused on that one movement.

“I have something to tell you two.”

“What?”

“I know who the rat is.”

The moment I said that,

No, before I even finish half of this sentence.

The tension between the two reached its peak, and Jane even raised her mana in an instant.

Jane asked with a smile on her stiff face.

“… … What does that mean?”

Well, this would be a normal reaction.

But Malia was a little different.

Malia said, bringing her face closer to me.

“… … Frontier, is that true?”

Malia got rid of the honorific title for me.

Today she is not a teacher, but my mother Malia de Roach.

“No, Malia. It is too dangerous for students to hear such stories.”

“But now it seems that Frontier already knows everything.”

The ‘rat’ I mentioned, of course, means a traitor in the Constel.

There are two more accomplices in Renzo’s intrusion.

One is the daughter of the Imperial Palace, Philly,

Another one is a teacher in Constell.

It’s a much more urgent and important matter than how I broke the record.

Constell doesn’t know that I stopped Renzo and cut off his arm.

Instead, he finds Renzo undetected and reports it to Edden, who knows that the case has been undone.

But Malia would know the meaning of my actions just with this new information.

Why I didn’t tell the teachers, I told Edden.

I am also suspicious of some of the teachers.

That’s why you can trust what I’m saying now.

“I know you won’t believe me if I tell you who I am now.”

But it’s still not enough.

that I doubt any of the teachers,

It’s a completely different matter to be sure who you are.

“So let me prove it.”

“… … how?”

“I will bring the traitor to the surface.”

Malia and Jane looked at each other’s faces at my words.

Up until now, I’ve only said very absurd remarks, but now these remarks are probably the most absurd.

“… … You’re going to bring out a traitor hidden among the teachers in Constell?”

“Yes. So, please do not divulge this and ask for help when the situation arises.”

“… … What is the situation?”

“You will never know when the time comes.”

The reason I’m not talking about it is because I don’t know exactly where the situation is going to turn.

You have a plan, you have the confidence to succeed, but the consequences are divided into several cases.

Either way, I need a witness.

A witness that I was targeting the criminal from the beginning.

* * *

Frontier finished talking and went back.

Jane and Malia remained there, immersed in their own thoughts.

Jane spoke first.

“Does Frontier really know who the traitor is?”

“… … I do not know. I guess we have to watch.”

Malia tends to support Frontier’s hand whenever possible, but this time around, it was hard for her to believe herself.

The traitor in Constell was not even known to exist by the teachers until Renzo invaded.

And even after Renzo invaded to this day, his identity is obscure.

Meanwhile, Frontier knows who the traitor is.

“Malia seems to believe in Frontier, so what did you think?”

“… … I.”

Malia rarely spoke.

The appearance of her slightly biting her lower lip seemed to be in deep trouble.

“… … Just breaking the record for Frontier.”

“Oh, it was. I originally called the Frontier students for that.”

Jane brushed her hair.

Frontier’s remarks were so shocking that they forgot their original purpose for a moment.

Jane asked.

“Ms. Malia, did you find out how Frontier managed to break the record?”

“No, it is not. but… … I think the timing is too clever.”

“Timing?”

“… … Teacher Jane.”

After long deliberation, Malia looked at Jane as if she had made up her mind.

“Don’t you think Frontier deliberately broke the record?”

“… … What do you mean?”

“This is where we are right now, this situation. We called Frontier for record breaking, right? And we put soundproofing and security magic on it.”

“… … Please, Malia-sensei.”

“And that we are here is something most of the teachers in Constell know. Conversely, our meeting with Frontier is a very reasonable and natural thing for others to see.”

Jane’s eyes widened at Malia’s words.

“You mean that Frontier broke records to give us the traitor’s information? Malia, you are thinking too much.”

“But if this idea is correct, it can explain all of Frontier’s behavior. I can understand the sudden record-breaking.”

If the existing record of hitting a target is significantly updated, of course, the teachers will check it for a program check.

Especially if you are a student with a bad reputation called Frontier.

And if you can’t find a way to update the record, it’s natural to ask Frontier directly.

It is also conceivable that Jane and Malia are pointed out there.

“What if all of this went the way Frontier intended?”

“… … .”

Jane was speechless for a moment.

I wanted to dismiss it as an absurd sound, but the more I thought about it, the more she felt a certain sense of slack at Malia’s words.

Frontier knows exactly who the traitor is. Assuming this is true.

He wanted to pass this information on to a trusted teacher.

However, in Constell, where there are many eyes to see and ears to hear, it is not easy.

Therefore, a ‘place’ was needed to convey information.

But then,

“… … Does that mean that Frontier could break the record at any time?”

“Yes.”

“It wasn’t a coincidence or error that the target hit record was updated to 3.14 seconds, was it possible to achieve that level at any time?”

“… … That would be it.”

Jane shook her head.

To believe all of that at once, Jane was still a common-sense person.
