Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 18 Vipa River

Since then, Constell has been buzzing with the story of Atzier becoming a teacher.

The absurd (?) story that Frontier wiped out the hordes of monsters with ‘fireworks’ quickly subsided.

“Aster, are you okay?”

Lunia approached Aster and gave a worried expression.

He heard that Aster couldn’t even attack properly and lost to Atzier.

“it’s okay. No injuries.”

I’m angry because I’m not hurt.

At that moment, the laughter of students passing by was heard.

Aster has a wide reputation, but there are always envious students wherever he goes.

Aster who is a commoner but has great power and talent. It is the perfect target for envy.

“They said he was the best prospect in Constell, but the form… … .”

A voice that seemed to pass by, but clearly said to be heard.

Whoops, Lunia’s head turned.

Aster could only see the back of Lunia’s head, but the student who had laughed at Aster a while ago looked at Rounia’s face and ran away with a hiccup.

Seeing Aster again, Lunia had a clean smile.

“Aster, don’t worry too much. Frontier says there’s nothing wrong with it? That’s where you end up.”

“… … .”

“Aster?”

At Lunia’s words, Aster recalled the battle that Frontier had shown a while ago.

No matter how it might appear to others, Frontier certainly fought a little bit better than Aster himself.

The problem is that gap. The gap with Frontier.

As Lunia said, Atzier didn’t put the ejaculation in his hand when he faced Frontier.

As soon as he saw a gap, he swung his fist without hesitation, and Frontier responded, but was helpless against all kinds of attacks.

However, only the vital points on the face, chin, and center of the body did not match.

And the last slap.

Unlike Aster, who looked like a child was laid down, it was a rough slap.

Atzier obviously didn’t take care of Frontier.

Maybe that’s because I couldn’t look at it?

‘I thought I would not rely on divine power as much as possible.’

Even that was arrogant.

Without confidence, Aster wasn’t sure if he could defeat Frontier let alone Atzier.

However, the feelings of suffering from inferiority and jealousy of Frontier are not suitable for Aster.

But I can’t live without losing.

Aster just thought. How he will grow now.

Reluctantly, Aster already knew how.

“… … ha.”

“What sigh?”

“I have to go to my sister. After school, I’m always in the training room.”

Constell’s best swordsman. From a rational point of view, this is a perfect choice.

Since he felt that he lacked something, Aster was going to ask Elin to learn even by bowing his head.

Already huh, okay? I think I can see Elin’s eyes looking at me as if it’s a no-brainer.

But there, Lunia made a subtle expression.

“Um, but how about going next time?”

“why?”

“I heard it while passing by, but I don’t think Elin-senpai will be in the training room today.”

“What? Is your sister going home right away?”

what’s up where are you sick

Aster tried to worry a little, but Ronia shook her head.

“It’s not like that, you met a blacksmith.”

“blacksmith… … ?”

Aster’s expression turned suspicious like never before.

* * *

“… … Awesome.”

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Elin stared blankly at the completed sword.

A blade gleaming with silver, and a crude hilt beneath it. The guard that separates the blade and the handle is not large, but it is supported. The length was just right for her. It could be held with one hand or both hands.

In any case, the design was unsightly, but Elin’s eyes recognized the value of this sword at a glance.

“Yes?”

Frontier, who was next to him, nodded as if satisfied.

After Elin had been scammed earlier, Frontier introduced a blacksmith to Elin.

The blacksmith’s name is Neil Zach.

Elin asked Neil with her twinkling eyes.

“Can I touch it?”

“Aww, that’s right. It was made for guests.”

Neil crouched out of proportion to his muscular body. His face is also very sad, and he always has a smiling face.

At first, it was Elin who did not trust her face, but now that she sees the sword, she has completely changed her mind.

Elin raised her finger horizontally and placed the sword on it. This was not only to check the center of gravity, but also to check the damage or curvature of the blade.

‘… … Perfect.’

As a test, Elin blew the Auror lightly. The qi emitted from her went straight out into the sword without blockage or shaking.

“… … Awesome! Perfect!”

“Heh heh, I don’t know where to put my body because you praise me so much… … .”

Neil crouched down with a hand on his head.

A low attitude that doesn’t suit a blacksmith too much. Because of that image, Neil was still unpopular.

The blacksmith’s skills are flawless, but he hasn’t seen the light yet.

“Frondie, how do you know such a person? How did you find out?”

When Elin asked, Frontier laughed awkwardly.

“Um, like I said before, we are not close friends. I know it one-sidedly.”

At those words, Elin looked at Neil this time. Neil also nodded.

“Yes. Frontier, did you say? I see it for the first time too. I don’t know why you saw someone like me and asked for it, but it’s such an honor.”

“Frondier, have you been to this smithy before?”

“There is not.”

Elin didn’t understand. We’ve never seen each other, but one of us knew each other unilaterally. This blacksmith named Neil isn’t even famous.

Besides, Frontier said, ‘You can trust me because I’m sure of my skills’. So, it sounds like you already know your skills. So, I must have introduced her to her with confidence.

Even if the questionable gaze was turned to Frontier, Frontier only smiled.

* * *

Together with Cybel’s father, Daud Forte, Neil is the most frequented blacksmith.

Unlike blacksmiths who usually have a solemn or arrogant image, Neil is shy and cautious.

Daoud took all the personality that he wanted to be a blacksmith. It looks like it needs more subtlety than that.

So, the official route is to get a weapon from Neil, ask Daud to engrave a magic circle on the weapon.

As such, Neil is one of the ‘knowledges I already know’. I got a lot of help from him as a player. Thanks to this, it is difficult to explain the friendship, but I decided to just push through without explanation.

If Elin gets weapons from Neil, it’s an advantage anyway.

Neil told me.

“How are you, Mr. Frontier? As a reward for trusting me and introducing me to the customer, I will provide you with a weapon for free.”

“Any weapon?”

“sure.”

At Neil’s words, I looked around the forge.

Even if it’s not a custom-made sword like Elin, Neil’s weapon is good enough.

Any of the weapons placed here in the blacksmith will be useful. In the first place, I don’t need a custom-made weapon yet.

But since I’ve been here, I already have a habit.

You can’t choose ‘anything’.

[Neil Zach’s Iron Pole]

Grade: Intermediate

•Description: A long spear cast by Neil Zach. It was made for practice, but the quality is excellent. It is modest without adornment, but the quality of the weapon is impeccable.

[Neil Zach’s Throwing Dagger]

Grade: Advanced

•Description: A dagger cast by Neil Zach. It was a commissioned product, but it was canceled on the way and left in the blacksmith. Among daggers that have not been treated with magic, it is difficult to find items beyond this.

Like this, I put everything I see in the workshop.

Even if it seemed like he was looking around lightly, he was already reading the information with his eyes.

Then suddenly.

My eyes stopped at one place.

[Neil Zach’s Shortsword]

Grade: Unique

•Description: A masterpiece that is difficult to guarantee that even the leading blacksmith Neil Jacques will recreate it. It is suitable for having a ‘tinnitus’ from the strength of the sword, sharpness, and even the construction of the hilt. However, no one is looking for it due to the insignificant length of the day.

Ability Details >

– Eternal Anticipation: The blade of this weapon does not wear out. The only way to achieve that sharpness is to annihilate the weapon itself.

… … unique?

what is this?

I walked like possessed and picked up the sword I checked in the workshop.

“Oh, Mr. Frontier. It was just something I made out of boredom.”

“Are you bored?”

“Yeah, should I just say that I made it randomly according to my hand, haha?”

The blade hidden in the scabbard.

I slowly released the scabbard and revealed it.

“… … !”

You hear Elin inhaling from behind.

… … this, please

I used the skill ‘analysis’ to check the thoughts running through my head.

This time, unlike weaving, the analysis came out quickly.

It has only one line.

– The blade of this sword is made of pipa steel.

“… … Bipa River.”

A long time ago, the phantasmagoric steel that captivated Elin’s ears, the Pipagang.

that’s in my hand now Even as a finished product with a grade of Unique.

“Hey, it’s not a pipagang. It’s not like that. I was just collecting ordinary scraps of iron,”

“The reason Neil wants to hide this sword is because of the length of the blade?”

I held the sword horizontally.

… … It’s definitely a tricky road. It seems to be used for a one-handed sword, but it is a little shorter than the ‘short sword’ that is generally spoken. It’s too big to be called a dagger though.

It can’t be hidden in the arms for a surprise attack, and it’s not long enough to be worn openly and head-on.

Probably, no one would have lived on this road that was visible from inside the scabbard. Even if you have seen it, the pipa river is so rare that only those who have seen it count it.

‘… … It’s a shame.’

But to put it down like this again, it’s too much of a waste.

Raising a weapon made of pipa steel to a unique level is really rare. They say you deserve a ‘tiny name’.

A tinnitus is simply something like ‘Gram’ or ‘Mjolnir’ in my studio. It is said that there is a possibility that people will be called by a new name after gaining fame.

In addition, the ability ‘Eternal Anticipation’ is an ability that can only be acquired when the Bipa River has been perfectly handled.

As the name suggests, pipa steel is very difficult to break, but if you make a proper cutlery with this metal, your teeth will not fall out. And the metal itself is not easily destroyed in the first place.

In most cases, it will become a companion that protects the user until he dies.

Therefore, blades made of pipa steel cannot be sharpened. That’s what it means to not wear out. There is only one way to sharpen it, by tapping it.

Only tens of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of hammering and the far-fetched high-temperature heat make the pipagang sharp little by little.

It’s not something a person can do alone.

“… … I do it with this.”

“Yes, yes?”

Neil seemed perplexed by my words.

But my thoughts were firm.

“I will take this weapon. If you’re interested in the fact that it’s free, pay a reasonable price-“

“Oh, no, no! I’d be really happy if Mr. Frontier wrote it! It was difficult because no one took it.”

A blacksmith knows how valuable his work is.

It must have been heartbreaking to see Unique’s works worthy of a tinnitus were only accumulating dust in the forge.

If I could have such a weapon and get a proper nickname, that would also be a reward.

‘… … wait. this way.’

I suddenly thought.

If you hold this in each hand. That is, if you use it as a double sword.

This vaguely short length is rather easy to handle. There’s less room for knives to interfere with each other.

Of course, there is no unique grade that is equal to this and has a similar length. That’s why it can’t be used as a double sword.

… … country it is possible There is a black river.

Perhaps this weapon is the best weapon to handle with two swords.
