Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 67

Chapter 20 Scouts (1)

“… … Father?”

When I went to Constell, Aten told me about Ampere.

Surprisingly, it seems that Ampere came and went to Constell.

“yes. It was noisy for a while.”

“… … Well. I felt it was a bit noisy.”

I don’t talk to anyone during class, and I go straight to the training room after school. It’s a bit late on these rumors.

Aten said with her lips thinning a little.

“… … Did he come without saying a word to his son?”

“Well, that’s the nature of it.”

You probably didn’t even know it. Ampere is a person who has nothing to say about his work.

Aten blinked her dark eyes a few times as if thinking about something.

“… … It resembles something.”

“with who?”

“… … My father and Mr. Frontier’s father.”

… … oh

You are talking about Emperor Terst, Aten!

You’re just a dad, so I don’t get it at all! Aten!

– Still, the story made sense.

I didn’t meet the Emperor very often as a player, but I did meet him.

Emperor Terst was an emperor who was like a model answer to ‘Severeness, Strictness, Thoroughness’. He must have been a stereotype that was easy to think of when he said he was an emperor.

However, his coolness went beyond the limit. Beyond the cold, it’s heartless. Whereas Ampere still loves Atzier only, Terst never gives his heart to anyone.

In Elysia’s runaway, Emperor Terst had a small share.

Anyway, I don’t think I need to worry about Ampere for now. Maybe it was because of Atji, who was a teacher. Love at Ampere’s Atzi is supreme.

There is something more important to me right now.

“More than that, we have final exams soon.”

“Yes. ‘Scout’ is allowed from today.”

The final exams will start soon. About half a week left.

After the final exams are over, the results for the year are announced, and this is the difference between the success and failure of the mission that Ampere gave to me.

The midterm exam was ranked 16th, so if you want to be in the top 10, you have to get a fairly high rank.

… … no.

“You have to be number one.”

“yes… … ?”

“That is the safest and most reliable.”

Aten’s eyes widened at my words.

take first place This is not an easy word to come out of. Because there are huge students flying and crawling above me.

But it is not without possibility. Unlike the midterm exam, the final exam is conducted as a team.

In the practical performance of the final exam, students take the exam in teams of three.

This three-person team is the minimum number of people who can perform a task when they become a professional. The minimum number of people who can check each other’s status and divide the front, rear, and auxiliary.

And one in three is a senior. The first two people who form a team go to the senior and ask for it. If the senior accepts, you can join the team. This is the ‘scout’ that Aten spoke of.

Of course, any upperclassman with good skills wants to form a team, and this battle is not easy.

In other words, the exam is already starting before the final exam writing or practical exams start.

Of course, no points are given to upperclassmen, so if you play too much, you lose points for the same team, so balance is important.

For this final exam, I had a conversation with Elin in the training room the other day.

Finally, the time has come to conclude the discussion.

“Then, shall we go?”

“Yes.”

We nodded with determination.

* * *

After hearing the story of me and Aten, Elin blinked her calm eyes a few times and said.

“The crowd.”

It was truly a blunt refusal.

Aten, who was next to him, was gloomy and disappointed.

Then Elin raised her hand.

“Ah, but don’t get me wrong. No matter who made the offer, I had no choice but to turn it down. In fact, they were all turned down.”

“Why?”

“I was recently selected as an intern.”

Intern?

I paused at the somewhat unfamiliar word and asked.

“Are you talking about becoming a professional intern?”

“yes. The internship itself cannot be done while studying, but training must be done in advance.”

I was definitely surprised.

Most of those graduating from Constell become professionals and work on commission.

For this reason, there are many cases of internships from when they were students in order to experience professional work in advance.

But in that case, it’s usually 3rd grade.

Elin is a sophomore.

“… … Well. I can tell you two.”

Elin looked at me and Aten in turn and said,

“While Frontier and Renzo were fighting, I intervened.”

“… … Oh, it was.”

I blew out Renzo’s right arm, but there was one left.

I thought Renzo would lose his fighting spirit by flying one arm, but Renzo’s mental power was far beyond my expectations.

If it hadn’t been for Elin at that time, I would have been dead.

“It seems that Edden Hamerlot-san took good care of it.”

indeed.

Edden Hamerlot, number one pro. I was there at the time

Clearly, Elin’s performance was much earlier than in the original game.

The fight against the golem that Edwin was controlling, the one move that made Renzo retreat.

Unlike in the game, Elin has already started to catch the public eye.

Is it the butterfly effect?

“So, did you come to work with Edden Hamerlot?”

“Um, well, that’s right. Only during the internship.”

“How long is the internship period?”

“Until the end of summer vacation. During my studies, I only participate on weekends.”

In that period of time, you will be able to gain considerable experience.

“Congratulations, Elin. You are one step ahead.”

“… … .”

When I said that, Elin looked at me.

what.

It was a genuine compliment.

“… … Well, thank you.”

Elin said so after a moment of silence.

The face that turned its eyes away from me obviously didn’t suit me to say thank you.

Then, suddenly, the announcement sounded.

[Frondier student, Frontier de Roach in the first year. Please come to the health room right now.]

It was a bit of a sudden show.

It’s strange that you’re specific to me, it’s a health room.

There, this voice is definitely Malia.

“… … Then I’ll go. Good luck, intern.”

“yes. you also.”

I said hello to Elin and went out with Aten.

Elin, who raised her hand awkwardly, was a little concerned.

* * *

“Am I an intern?”

It was the very day after Renzo’s case that Elin heard about the internship.

It was on the way back from the hospital to check on Frontier’s condition.

It wasn’t long after I left the hospital when I met Edden, so it was clear that Edin had something to do with Frontier as well.

“… … How is his condition?”

“He said, ‘It’s just a comfortable sleep state. I left only flowers.”

“Right. thank god. So, is Frontier alone in the hospital room now?”

“no. Aten is guarding you.”

“Right.”

Edden nodded with a look on his face that he didn’t even know why he asked.

Elin asked.

“By the way, what does an intern mean?”

“Well. Literally. The ability to sense my life at the first meeting, determination and judgment without hesitation to draw a sword. I bought it all high. Most of all, you didn’t force Renzo to step down.”

At Edden’s praise, Elin’s expression became subtle.

Of course, I know that Edden’s words are sincere, but there was a question that came to mind first.

“Then, why don’t you invite Frontier to intern?”

“yes?”

“If I got Renzo to resign, Frontier was the one who blew up Renzo’s right arm.”

The reason why Elin describes her right arm as ‘blown out’ is simple.

Because I don’t know how the right arm was removed.

Maybe it was a sword or magic, whether it was cut or pierced.

Maybe Edin will too.

“That’s it.”

“Yes?”

“I blew off Renzo’s right arm, what can I teach you? If I do it wrong, my right arm looks like it will fly off, hahaha!”

Edin laughed softly.

Elin’s eyes narrowed.

“You really don’t think so, do you?”

“Ugh. Not all of the reasons. But it’s not a lie. I couldn’t figure out the skills of that frontier. No, he doesn’t know his true identity, let alone his skills. Whether it’s a swordsman or a wizard. You can’t recommend an intern to someone you don’t know anything about. I don’t even know what to teach.”

It was a better answer than before.

But there was still something to hide, Elin’s intuition said.

‘But, well, it’s not something that can be known by asking more.’

Elin decided to step back for a moment.

Eden said.

“Oh, would you mind keeping this a secret? Especially for that frontier student.”

“… … why?”

“Because there may be some misunderstanding. Please, please.”

“like.”

If you think about it, Elin offered an internship at Frontier instead, and Edden turned it down.

Frontier isn’t a very good thing to hear.

“… … Is that real?”

I said with a wrinkled face.

Malia said in an exhilarating tone, as if she had a strong sympathy for my feelings.

“It’s true. I’ve known him since I came here. Somehow, I felt anxious.”

It was like a conversation in a morning drama somewhere, but I became really frustrated.

… … Ampere had no intention of giving me a chance in the first place.

It was an excuse to say that I was in the top 10 in Constell, and I just needed a justification for excommunication.

Suddenly my head started to hurt.

“… … But it’s surprising that my mom tells me this again.”

Usually Malia doesn’t interfere with Ampere’s affairs. Even if Frontier is involved.

Malia seems kind, but she is a woman with clear standards and good lines. She’s not Ampere’s wife for nothing. Knowing that, Ampere must have brought up the story of excommunicating me too.

Malia shrugged.

“Well, if my son was still a ‘human sloth’ after being told he was in the top 10 in his grade, I would have taken the lead in the scandal. Even if Roach’s name is lost, there are many ways to live.”

“Ah, is that so?”

I’m not surprised because I’m being honest. Somehow it seems that it is the right thing to do.

“If it was really excommunicated, my mother would still provide me with a place to live and something to eat. Of course, when you become an adult, there is no soup.”

Malia nodded slightly, as if recalling her previous thoughts.

Then all of a sudden, I clenched my fists to see if I could cry again.

“However! Is it different this time? Your father is busy working, so he can’t watch his children grow up. My son has changed so much! If it wasn’t for our son during the monster attack not long ago,”

Malia suddenly became a fool and was grumbling hard.

I am very ashamed to be the target.

But while Malia was complaining like that, I had a different thought.

If Ampere’s suggestion was false, the quest had obviously occurred.

[Sub Quest: Father’s Order]

•Description: Frontier’s laziness in the past has reached the limit of his father, Ampere’s patience.

Goal: To be in the top 10 overall in Constell within this semester

•Reward: Receive recognition from Ampere.

•If you fail, you will be excommunicated.

… … Obviously there are quests.

If Ampere had made a false suggestion, such a quest would not have happened.

As long as the failure condition is ‘ripple’, if it doesn’t fail, it won’t be ripple. At least this game doesn’t play puns. This is absolute.

This means that the statement that Ampere will excommunicate is a lie, or Ampere will change his mind after breaking this quest.

Anyway, I have no choice but to do my best in the final exam.

“So, did you get it?”

“Yes?”

After thinking about it, I found Malia was asking me something.

“It’s a high school student. You have to form a team.”

“… … oh Not yet.”

Elin was the best option, but was unexpectedly blocked.

Speaking of the remaining upperclassmen… … .

“How about a queenie?”

Malia asked. I didn’t know the name would come out of her mouth, so I asked in amazement.

“… … How do you know Mr. Queenie? No, as a team with me, how did that senior name… … .”

“Yeah, did you ask?”

Malia replied that it was nothing, but she didn’t understand quickly.

Malia said again, leaving me dazed.

“Queenie, I’ve been asked to tell Frontier if he’s having a hard time scouting.”
