The Academy’s Weapon Replicator-Chapter 356 (1) - The Academys Weapon Replicator
Winter break had begun.
Not much had changed for Frondier, as he hadn't been to Constel since the war ended.
However, it was a good opportunity to input a one-month period into his head.
From Frondier's perspective, it was rather unusual that he wasn't going to places like the Tyburn or Yeranhes, which were incredibly dangerous, during the break.
‘Though it feels like my body will be more exhausted than back then.’
Monty's order: Face as many different weapons as possible.
However, Frondier encountered an unexpected difficulty in this regard.
‘...Surprisingly, the people I know don't have a wide variety of weapons.’
Aster, Sybil, Dier, and Piellot all wield swords.
Among them, Sybil at least uses a unique weapon called a rapier, but she mainly fights with it using slashing techniques, so he can't learn the unique skills of a rapier.
Apart from them, everyone else is a mage. Facing mages is also important, but not right now.
‘I decided to learn the sword from Ellen and the spear from Azier, so I want to find other weapons.’
Of course, even within the category of "swords," there are countless variations, and mastering each one would be helpful enough. However, for Frondier, who wants to learn the entire spectrum of weapon groups, it's undeniably disappointing.
It's natural that there are many people wielding swords within Constel.
One reason is that swords are easier to handle and feel closer to hand compared to other weapons, but the most important factor is the number of legendary weapons.
Constel students dream of obtaining a legendary weapon someday, just like Aster acquired Excalibur. In fact, it's not just the students' dream but also the aspiration of each family.
In the case of the Roach family, Enfer wields "Gram," so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the weapon itself represents the family's reputation.
And among these legendary weapons, swords are overwhelmingly dominant, followed by spears.
‘In the end, easily accessible weapons are wielded by many, resulting in heroes mostly having swords, and the next generation of heroes who desire those weapons also choose swords from a young age, and the cycle repeats.’
Anyway, that's why it's not easy for Frondier to find other weapons now.
“...Sigh.”
But the truth is, there was someone.
Someone who wasn't a sword or spear user, and someone who could be incredibly helpful.
However, Frondier really didn't want to meet him, so he tried to find other ways.
‘The first thing that came to mind is the answer after all.’

Frondier sighed and started walking.
He knew exactly where to go to meet him.

“...You want me to teach you the polearm?”
And so, he arrived at the Rishae mansion.
Revet, Elodie's older brother, was looking at me with a very unpleasant expression.
And next to him, Elodie was watching Revet and me with a very intrigued look.
“Yes. Please.”
I bowed my head to Revet.
“Why should I help you?”
Revet asked in a still unpleasant voice.
I knew it from the beginning, but Revet really dislikes Frondier.
There are many reasons for that, similar to why everyone disliked Frondier. Lazy, incompetent, and an immature student who relies on the prestige of his family. Revet used those reasons to despise Frondier. ȐàꞐộʙÊȿ
However, from my perspective, having shed those images, those reasons were nothing more than excuses. Revet still hates me.
The reason was actually simpler.
Because I'm next to Elodie.
“I need to learn weapons. To my knowledge, the person with the greatest skill in polearms is Revet.”
“So that's why you need me.”
Revet, as expected, wasn't swayed by flattery.
“Tell me what benefits I would gain from helping you.”
I briefly met Revet's eyes as he spoke.
...He's definitely looking at me with displeasure, but it's better than before. My image in his eyes has definitely improved.
He must have seen me fighting in the war and defeating Belphegor, so he must have his own thoughts.
Quinie's Wiserview doesn't bother me in every way. Although it is bothersome.
“...If you teach me.”
“If I teach you?”
Revet looked down at me with cold eyes.
There's no way someone like you could make a deal with me, that's what his face said.
I replied to him plainly.
“I will try to prevent Elodie from going to the dormitory.”
“...What?”
“What?!”
Elodie, who had been watching from the side as if it were someone else's business, was startled.
“Hey, hey! You, you, you, what are you doing on your own...!”
The flustered Elodie stutters, pointing at me. Hmm, it's a somewhat nostalgic sight.
“...How do you know that?”
Revet, who was relatively calm, asked me. No, maybe he's not that calm. His pupils are shaking tremendously.
“The story of Elodie going to the dormitory in her third year has already spread as a rumor within Constel.”
Of course, it's a lie.
The reason I know about Elodie's dormitory situation is, naturally, because of Mei.
Mei was born not long ago, and because she's quite dangerous, we needed someone who could control her and keep the secret.
And the people who best fit those conditions are Elodie and I.
If I don't go to the dormitory, Elodie will go and stay with Mei. After the war, I was busy being Lily's knight and couldn't take care of Mei, so during that time, Elodie took care of her.
Elodie probably wouldn't have told her family about Mei's existence, but she must have talked about the dormitory. It's obvious how Revet would have reacted upon hearing that.
The first of the two things Revet hates most in the world.
Elodie being away from him.
“...You're saying you can stop that?”
Revet's eyebrows twitched. His heart must be wavering just as much.
“Yes, I can.”
The reason Elodie wants to stay in the dormitory is because of Mei.
In other words, if the Mei issue is resolved, Elodie wouldn't need to go to the dormitory. There would be no need for Revet to persistently hold her back.
“...Hmph! Unbelievable! Even I can't bend Elodie's will, do you think you're any different!”
Revet crossed his arms and shook his head.
...Honestly, Elodie is a very flexible and adaptable type. She's good at listening to the advice of those around her and adjusting her own opinions.
Maybe Revet is the only one who can't persuade Elodie.
“Of course, I might not be able to persuade Elodie.”
“It's not that you might not, it's that you can't!”
“But I will say this.”
I raised a finger and said.
“I will go to the dormitory.”
