Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 10 The Empress’s Perspective (1)

General hospital near Constell.

Cybel and Elodie were anxiously awaiting the results of Frontier’s examination.

This was originally the hospital where Cybel was admitted.

This time the position was reversed.

──Serf was supposed to have been killed by Cybel.

Anyway, that’s true.

At the time of making this decision, Cybel,

“But we know the truth. Without Frontier I couldn’t do anything. Frontier saved the child and saved us. It has to be recognized by people!”

so insisted on Her words were theories.

But Elodie shook her head.

“Even if everyone knows that Frontier has done the right thing, there is no guarantee that his image will improve.”

“why… … ?”

“… … Images are like that.”

Will Frontier become the hero who saved the child? Or become a murderer who kills people.

Which way the addition leans, Elodie is unsure.

However, the latter was considered more likely.

The reason is because of Serp’s popularity.

‘Before this incident, Serp had a good reputation within the Empire. In addition, ‘Indus’, to which Serp belongs, has a high position among commoners. On the other hand, Frontier has a very bad image, let alone a reputation, and, besides, it is a noble… … .’

In the extreme, you might think that Frontier killed Serp and covered up the case.

Because of this, the ball goes to Cybel, not Frontier.

Cybel is well-known enough in Constell, and there are commoners who are not nobles.

And if you add Elodie’s own testimony, the case won’t get caught.

‘To be honest, I’m a little pissed off about what Frontier did.’

frontier.

You should be rewarded for that.

When Elodie was thinking like that.

quiver-

The door to the waiting room opened and the doctor came out.

“Come on, sir! How is it? status?”

Cybel approached the doctor and asked urgently.

Seeing those worried eyes, Elodie smiled bitterly.

‘Good, Frontier.’

The doctor smiled as if to reassure Cybel.

“The body is fine. The wound on his side healed well, and he didn’t bleed as much as I thought.”

The two were relieved by the doctor’s explanation.

But the doctor seemed to think about something for a moment and then looked at the two of them.

“How is your relationship with the two of you?”

“yes? Uh, my friend.”

“Didn’t the guardian come?”

The two nodded at the doctor’s question.

In fact, Elodie had contacted him. To Frontier’s older brother, Atzier.

After arriving at the hospital, she contemplated who to contact in Frontier’s family.

Her father Ampere, her older brother Atzier, and her mother Malia, Constell’s health doctor.

The reason Elodie eventually called Atzier was simple.

Malia doesn’t know her number, and Ampere is so scary.

It’s scary, but it’s because we talked anyway.

When Elodie explained the situation, Atzier seemed to think for a moment.

– I leave it to you.

said so.

“Yes?!”

Elodie asked involuntarily.

-If my family goes, there is a risk that rumors will grow unnecessarily. That’s not good for Frontier either.

It was still just an honest answer.

If you think about it, that’s right. Frontier’s family are all so famous.

The doctor patted his chin as if in trouble.

“Um, that’s right. I have something to tell you.”

“Is the Frontier dangerous by any chance?”

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

“No, not like that. But I have something to tell you.”

“Then tell me. I will take responsibility and deliver it.”

Elodie said, and Cybel next to him nodded eagerly.

“… … Well, that’s right. That would be fine. Then this way.”

So the three moved to the doctor’s examination room.

Cybel and Elodie sat down in their chairs with a lot of tension. Contrary to saying that it was okay, the doctor’s expression was quite serious.

The doctor said again.

“Don’t worry too much. The patient has no problem. But I want to warn you.”

“Caution, you say?”

When Elodie asked, the doctor nodded and pulled out two pictures.

“First, I had an X-ray because I had a deep cut in my side. As I said, the treatment went well. Fortunately, the knife doesn’t touch the bones and intestines, so there won’t be any aftereffects. It will leave almost no scars.”

The doctor’s explanation relieved Elodie and Cybel’s tension a little.

The doctor took out the next picture.

“And here is a picture of the mana distribution.”

“Mana distribution?”

“Yes. Literally check the mana distribution of the target. You can check the amount of mana remaining, where the mana is concentrated, etc.”

After that, Elodie and Cybel looked at the picture.

And at the same time, he tilted his head.

“Well, I don’t know. I can’t see any mana.”

The photo they were looking at was just a white silhouette of a person.

I know this is a frontier, but how do you see the mana distribution?

“You see.”

“Yes?”

“The patient collapsed from exhaustion of mana. When I got to the hospital, I had no mana.”

The two of them opened their mouths in amazement at the doctor’s words.

So there were only silhouettes in the picture.

‘Cause it’s empty

“Of course, it is not uncommon to be stunned by exhaustion of mana. As both of you have experienced, people feel extremely tired when they run out of mana. Besides, the patient moved very vigorously before the mana exhaustion, and there was bleeding.”

The two nodded their heads.

The two of them are students of Constell, so of course they know how to feel when they run out of mana.

Being stunned by exhausting mana is quite understandable.

“Then this is the next picture.”

The doctor took out a new picture.

Another mana distribution photo.

But it’s definitely different.

“… … uh? There is a place that looks blue. Quite a lot.”

“Yes. That’s mana. This picture was taken an hour later.”

“Hey,” Cybel exclaimed.

Even if you run out of mana, do you recover mana so quickly?

‘So fast?’

However, unlike Cybel, Elodie is a pure wizard.

The pace seemed a little odd.

So Elodie asked cautiously.

“… … I, he, can you restore mana so quickly after you run out of mana?”

The doctor fixed the glasses.

“I have something to tell you about that.”

“what?”

“As Miss Elodie noticed, the patient recovers too quickly from mana exhaustion.”

Cybel, who was listening, blinked.

“Is that a problem then?”

I also wanted to ask that question Elodie.

It felt weird that the speed was too fast, but I was wondering if it was particularly bad.

the doctor said

“Rather than a problem… … . It’s as if your body got used to it. To exhaust mana.”

The two’s faces hardened at those words.

Then the two found out. Why did the doctor want to say this to the guardian?

“I don’t know what the patient has been doing. However, mana drain is not a common occurrence. You may have often been put into very intense battles, or comparable situations. Do you have any guesses?”

The two shook their heads at the doctor’s question.

He shook his head, but his face was confused.

Mana depletion is not intentional.

Of course, mana exhaustion doesn’t mean it’s particularly hard on the human body.

However, using magic or using skills means that it is a battle situation after all.

Exhausting mana means that you did your best in that battle.

So, being used to mana exhaustion, in other words, means repeating horrendous battles frequently.

“… … Teacher.”

Elodie opened her mouth.

“If you are used to mana exhaust, how many repetitions did you repeat?”

“Hmm, well. At this rate of recovery.”

The doctor fixed the glasses and looked at the picture again.

“──I think I passed a hundred times.”

Elodie’s eyes trembled.

She felt an unknown emotion welling up in her body.

‘That, I didn’t know?’

Cybel, though.

Elodie has been watching Frontier for a very long time.

Now, there was a time when I called Frontier by a nickname I didn’t even want to call because I was cringing.

If the number of times of mana exhaustion exceeded 100, it would have happened before the entrance to Constell, unless you were exhausting mana every day.

it would be a long time ago

Since then, Frontier has run out of mana?

‘What the hell have I seen so far… … !’

In the end, the rising emotions ran all the way to the top of his head.

It was a feeling I didn’t want to realize.

But you have to know It was anger. anger against yourself.

“Hey, Elodie! Elodie!”

“… … ah?”

When Cybel called Elodie’s name, Elodie barely returned to her sanity.

The temperature in the room was very high.

At the end of the day, the divine power was almost activated.

“Sin, sorry!”

Elodie quickly apologized to the doctor.

The doctor seemed surprised, but he laughed and said, hahaha.

In fact, the divine power without the intention of killing does not harm the opponent even if it is activated.

In the case of Elodie, the degree to which it gets hot or cold or the wind blows.

However, depending on the opponent, it can be seen as a threat.

The doctor said to comfort them both.

“As I said, there is nothing special about the patient’s body right now. However, we must urge you to refrain from crowds. If the patient repeats a really dangerous situation.”

“… … All right.”

After answering somberly, the two went out of the examination room.

“… … .”

“… … .”

After listening to the doctor’s explanation, the two of them became infinitely depressed and sat next to each other in the chair.

Elodie said carefully after thinking.

“… … That’s right.”

“… … yes.”

“Frondier, you say you only sleep in class every day. I’m going to miss outdoor classes.”

“… … yes.”

“That, maybe… … .”

Elodie’s thoughts.

It was the same with Cybel.

It wasn’t that Frontier was lazy, but maybe he had no choice but to do so.

Repeat the fight enough to run out of mana, recover, fight again, and repeat.

Normal school life is impossible with such a body.

Cybel raised her head and muttered like a sigh.

“When we went to the dungeon, Frontier seemed good at traps.”

Cybel remembered the time when she and Frontier were left alone.

At that time, I had a bad perception of Frontier, so I couldn’t make a proper judgment, but Frontier continued to protect her.

Many traps were cleared, and even if caught, she protected her.

Maybe it’s not that I’ve acquired the knowledge of the trap.

If you have ‘experienced’ the trap.

Human Sloth Frontier.

A lazy and incompetent man at the bottom of Constell.

On the other hand, the truth was too cold and bitter for both of them.

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh”

Ainen was walking down the street with a lively pace.

As a librarian, she likes to read books even on holidays, but today was an outing.

Even a hum that doesn’t fit is coming out.

“Frondie that guy. There are times when it is surprisingly helpful.”

Ainen picked up Sage phone and checked the text message again.

contents is,

[Congratulations! This is the expert answer for ‘Miscellaneous Knowledge Required for Adventurers’!]

[We give you a Terst department store gift certificate!]

Surprisingly, he obtained a gift certificate by correcting all the problems solved in the library.

Of course, this is a big credit to Frontier who solved the last problem.

Shall I buy you a meal later?

“Uh-huh.”

Ainen laughed like an immature child.

No matter how reputable Constell is, even the librarians don’t pay that much.

She, who reads books, is always short of money, and for her who is still living alone, food and various living expenses are painful.

In Constell, you say you’re single, but you say ‘housewife’ for whatever reason.

Even if you live alone, a housewife is a housewife. Well then.

“First, buy some silver clothes, and you can’t miss out on cosmetics. Oh, shall we change our shoes this time?”

He is walking while adding a melody to his self-talk.

It was a passage that showed that she was never young.

… … And Ainen didn’t know.

There was a man watching her.

“… … Yes, the target has arrived.”

A man hiding in a crowd of people and making quiet contact.

He confirmed that Ainen was going into the department store and spoke again.

“The Ainen float has entered the department store, Her Majesty.”
