The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 442 (1) – The Academys Weapon Replicator

“Professor, hello… no, what’s wrong with your face?”

Atlas’s faculty office.

One of the teachers passing by saw Frondier’s face and asked in surprise.

Frondier’s eyes slowly turned to the teacher.

“……Is there something wrong with my face?”

“It’s not so much strange… as it is that you look like you’re about to die. Did you get any sleep?”

“Sleep is something I do from time to time.”

“Good heavens.”

After giving Frondier some worried and sage advice, the teacher returned to their seat.

‘For Frondier’s face to show fatigue. This is a little too much.’

Frondier looked in the mirror. He definitely looked tired. His dark circles were down to his cheeks, and his skin was as pale as a corpse.

He really hasn’t been sleeping lately.

Because of one thing Elodie said to him.

‘……Math.’

If arithmetic is not enough, then do math.

It could be said to be an Elodie-like answer.

And perhaps the most appropriate solution for Frondier.

‘It’s not realistic for me to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship like Aster now. As Elodie said, I have no choice but to become strong in my own way. I think the word ‘math’ will be a hint for that.’

But for now, that hint is like a faintly shining grain of sand.

A faint clue that he doesn’t even know is really a hint or not, and whether he can become that strong if he believes in it and moves forward.

So, for the past few days, he had been repeating endless contemplation using three-dimensional map devices and workshops.

His haggard appearance was the result.

Elodie hasn’t come to him lately either. If she got close, she would have to fight him with smoke as always, but seeing Frondier’s current face, she couldn’t bring herself to provoke him.

“He, hello. Professor Frondier. You don’t look so good.”

At that time, Teacher Giotto came stealthily, looking around.

Giotto had been like this ever since his speaker wiretapping was completely busted last time.

Because after that, Giotto hadn’t received any information.

Whether Frondier was going to expose the wiretapping, hide it, or was still thinking about it.

He didn’t know anything for sure, so his anxiety grew worse day by day.

But if he asked Frondier about it, he might use it as an excuse to expose him, so he couldn’t.

“I’ve had a lot on my mind lately.”

Frondier treated Giotto as usual, whether he knew how Giotto was feeling or not.

He treated Giotto indifferently, as if threatening him during Maki’s schedule was a lie.

“I, I know a good spa, and if I introduce you under my name, they’ll give you good service,”

“Don’t worry about me. Teacher Giotto.”

Frondier was considerate of Giotto, but from Giotto’s point of view, he would only get more anxious.

Giotto rolled his eyes from side to side and added one more word.

“Right. It seems like you have a heavy teaching load. Come to think of it, I forgot for a moment that we have enough teachers for combat skills. You don’t have to take that class anymore.”

“……Class……”

As Frondier muttered the word, Giotto nodded his head vigorously. His complexion brightened. As if he had found the right answer.

“It must have been burdensome to take on different subjects at the same time as a homeroom teacher. I’ll change the schedule right away, “

“Teacher Giotto.”

“Wh, why?”

“There is clearly a subject in Atlas called ‘Combined Use Of Magic And Combat’, isn’t there?”

“……Ah. There is. It’s an elective. The students’ preference is so low that we are considering abolishing it.”

Frondier stopped talking after hearing that far. It hadn’t actually been a few seconds, but in the meantime, Giotto was burning up inside.

Frondier spoke as if he had made up his mind.

“Can I be in charge of that subject? If possible.”

“Combined Use Of Magic And Combat? We, well, as I just said, it’s on the verge of being abolished… but there’s nothing I can do! I’ll try to push it forward actively!”

Giotto was speaking with a troubled face when he realized his mistake and changed his attitude. Frondier was treating him so normally that he kept forgetting his position.

Or was this what Frondier was aiming for? As expected, he was scary, Frondier de Roach!

“Combined Use Of Magic And Combat……. That’s what they call it.”

“It’s not popular, but it’s a subject with a deep history. Everyone calls it that.”

Frondier nodded.

“Thank you for listening to my request, Teacher Giotto. I apologize for taking your time.”

“Th, then I’ll change it from combat theory to Combined Use Of Magic And Combat starting tomorrow.”

At that, Frondier tilted his head.

“What do you mean change?”

“……Huh? Wasn’t that what we were talking about?”

When Giotto couldn’t understand, Frondier spoke as if asking what he meant.

“I’m asking you to add it, not change it.”

Giotto’s jaw dropped.
