Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 105 Chapter
31 Rumors (3)
Pascal was staying at his mansion. He was leaning against the window and talking to someone.
“The information is wrong!”
Pascal shouted. He felt anger for the first time in a long time.
[sorry. I thought it was highly reliable information.]
In front of Pascal, a crow was making fun of its snout.
“It’s an illusion…”
Pascal couldn’t understand it, but he understood.
When I had a light(?) sparring with Frondier, Frondier clearly knocked out his auror.
But that wasn’t Frontier releasing the aurors. I don’t know what he hit, but unlike the Aurors, it wasn’t visible at all.
‘It was a strange technique.’
It wasn’t visible, but considering the distance from Frondier at the time the auror was thrown, the range was not small.
I’m not sure because it’s an Auror’s sense, but it felt like ‘metal’. Then another sword? Or a shield? Are you using an invisibility spell on your weapon?
“Next time, bring the correct information. “That’s why we’re connecting with you.”
[of course. We at Indus will always move for mutual benefit with Pascal.]
“You speak well.”
Even though Pascal scolded him, he generally trusted the information the crow gave him.
In particular, the information about the articles is reliable. As soon as the crow asked for information about the knights who committed trouble, those knights were either caught or ran away.
Pascal was not interested in what happened to the other knights in the imperial palace. It was just as good without it. Because competition within the imperial palace has disappeared.
Because his only goal is to become the empress’s bodyguard.
[Then, please give us the following information. Please do your best to ‘verify.’]
“Yes. “I don’t know why Indus is doing this.”
[We just try to uncover lies and reveal the truth. The more the dark side of the imperial palace is peeled away, the easier it will be for Pascal.]
Is that really for the commoners?
I don’t know why Indus, who said he was for the common people, approached him. As long as the information is provided, it will be useful.
“is it so. “Stop it.”
Pascal bit the crow with a wave of his hand. Caw-! The crow soon returned to its flying nature and disappeared with a cry.
“Whoa, I almost hurt the student.”
Pascal mutters like that.
But a different crow than the one that had just flown by the window flew by.
The crow had a piece of paper in its mouth.
“What is this?”
[This is our Indus business card. I brought this because I want to build a strong relationship with Pascal in the future.]
“Business card…?”
Pascal took the paper and looked at it quietly.

I asked Aten for help in meeting Empress Fili.
It was ridiculous to try to meet the Empress like this, but since the matter was serious, there was nothing I could do.
However, there were some minor problems before meeting Philly.
“Selena. I have something to investigate separately today. “Go back first.”
I said to Selena, who was standing quietly next to me.
Selena spoke in a voice full of loyalty.
“Wherever Frontier is, that is where I will be. Anytime, anywhere, I will exist to protect Frontier.”
…ha.
I feel like these days, Selena is a victim of rote education.
I don’t know what and how Mangot taught me, but the facial expressions and acting of the lines were perfect, but there was no context at all.
‘If Selena gets involved, the story only gets more complicated.’
I thought about it for a moment, but there was really no need to think about it.
To be honest, it was okay.
“Okay then, stay next to me. “Her Majesty the Empress will be here soon.”
“…If you say Her Highness, I am Fili Ter, the only empress of the Terst Empire.”
“It’s long. And it is the correct answer.”
Selena closed her mouth at my answer.
After being frozen for a moment, Selena bowed politely.
“If Your Highness is by your side, there is no need for me to be there. “I will follow your orders and leave.”
“…okay.”
I thought it would be a bit annoying, but it got tiresome so I quit. As soon as she heard my answer, Selena disappeared in an instant. It was almost like running away, no, it was just running away.
For some reason, Selena is very afraid of powerful people.
Buung –
As I waited in front of the school gate, a sedan pulled up in front of me. It was a completely different vehicle than the last time I saw it. I heard that cars are changed periodically to avoid attracting attention.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Philly. “I have something really important to discuss, so I’m afraid to be rude…”
I said hurriedly in front of the window of the car going down.
And saw.
“…What did you just say?”
A handsome man with eyes like sharply forged swords was staring at me.
…It was Azieh.
“Frondier, I just referred to His Highness as ‘Mr. Philly.’”
“Ah, Frontier. long time no see. “Did you have a good vacation?”
Fili, who was sitting next to me, looked at me and waved. Then he looked at Ajie and said something.
“It’s okay, I gave permission.”
“Do you mean you allow me to call you ‘Mr. Philly’?”
“yes. Because you deserve it. “Just sit in the passenger seat in front of the Frontier.”
Following Philly’s words, I walked forward and got into the passenger seat.
…I can feel Ajie’s eyes burning behind me. No, rather than burning, it feels like stabbing me in the back of the head with its eyes like an awl.
“Frondier, I will ask you again later about what you just said. “You’ll have to prepare a good answer to convince me.”
“No. I said I gave permission, right? “If you reprimand Frontier for no reason, he will think that you ignored my words.”
Atjie glares at me and Fili defends me. I didn’t say a word in the flow of the conversation.
Because I really felt like I would die if I said something wrong.
“So Frontier, why did you call me? “If it wasn’t a big deal, no matter how broad-minded I may be, I wouldn’t forgive it.”
Fili changed the subject. It was truly a consideration that brought tears to my eyes.
“…Her Majesty the Empress?”
“Call me Mr. Fili.” “It’s always been like that.”
“….”
I looked at Philly in the rearview mirror. Fili was grinning. He seemed to be in a very good mood.
“…about the knight called Pascal”
“Call me Mr. Philly.”
The tactic of just trying to get over it didn’t work either.
“…Philly, do you know about the knight called Pascal?”
“sure. I know. He’s a promising knight of the imperial palace, but I don’t know? “I also know that you work as a teacher at Constel.”
Fili seemed very satisfied, and his voice was filled with kindness.
Atjie next to him closed his eyes deeply and sighed.
First of all, let’s not force ourselves to pay attention to Ajie.
“Well, Pascal thinks I use Aurors.”
“Hmm, I see?”
“I don’t know exactly where and how the rumor spread, but I don’t think Pascal believed it without any basis. It was a convincing lie. “If you think about it that way, the person behind those rumors is probably”
“Wait a minute, Frontier.”
Then Fili interrupted me. She tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.
“Why is that a rumor?”
“…yes?”
“yes?”
Something is out of focus in the conversation. Fili and I looked at each other with similar expressions.
Soon, Fili’s eyes widened as if he had realized something incredible.
“You don’t know how to use Frontier Aura?”
“…yes. That’s right.”
When I said yes, Fili opened his mouth as if he was even more surprised.
“No, then how did you do it until now…?”
Even though Fili was surprised, he omitted any detailed explanation. Things like Renzo and Chimera. Thank you again for your consideration.
“It’s hard to say, but I don’t know how to use Aurors.”
“…oh my god.”
Fili closed his mouth for a moment, as if thinking about something. Meanwhile, Atjie was saying to me with his eyes, ‘What on earth are you doing?’
“──Well, I understand for now. So what’s behind it?”
“I can guess who is behind it.”
“Is the force behind it big enough to call me?”
Fili’s question had a bone to it.
If you only listen to the story so far, it will seem like I am bringing up a personal problem and whining to Fili, the empress of the empire, to solve it.
Actually, that’s not entirely wrong, but there’s one difference.
“I think it was a guy named ‘Gregory’ who was behind it…”
I told Philly what I had researched and guessed about. Fili listened to my story, remained silent for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
“So that guy named Gregory is spreading rumors to Constel. Through information obtained through spying.”
“yes. “To Constel and to the imperial palace.”
“…How much do you know? Frontier?”
Fili guessed what I meant and asked in disbelief.
Yes. The recent misadventures of knights. This is also not unrelated to Gregory, as it causes a commotion by occurring simultaneously.
…But actually, as far as this is concerned, it’s not for me to brag about it. Because this is what the subquest told me.
Fili narrowed his eyes and said.
“But for a large amount of rumor to spread, it has to be told to a large number of people. And that too to influential people. How is Gregory leaking information to them? And why do they believe Gregory and spread rumors?”
When Gregory approaches others, he usually takes on the form of a ‘crow’.
It would be difficult for anyone to believe without doubt what a crow says. Why did they believe what Gregory said?
I also knew the answer to this.
“Gregory is a member of the former ‘Indus.’”
“…!”
Fili’s expression changed.
On the surface, ‘Indus’ is an organization that works to improve the rights of common people. This is the organization that Serfs Daniel and Gregory who targeted me belonged to.
However, because Serph died and Indus completely succeeded in cutting off its tail, there are still very few people who know the darkness of Indus.
Of course, Fili is among the very rare people who know the darkness.
“Gregory was expelled from Indus after the police found him participating in the crime. However, this is information that ordinary citizens cannot know. “That’s what tail cutting is all about in the first place.”
“…So, Gregory was kicked out of Indus, but he’s still pretending to be Indus?”
“That is highly likely. He seems to be spreading all kinds of rumors after gaining the trust of key figures by borrowing Indus’ name. Even if they are skeptical at first, when what Gregory says turns out to be true, they will also begin to believe him.”
“What is Gregory’s purpose?”
“…I don’t know exactly about that yet. “I believe you are planning to run away.”
I understand that Gregory is trying to make a fuss.
If he borrows Indus’ name and spreads all the rumors he has collected so far, Indus’ image will naturally be damaged.
The police are still moving to investigate the drivers’ crimes, and Indus is moving to restore its image.
…But I can’t imagine how big a fuss created by rumors would become. Wouldn’t it just be a little noisy?
“As long as Gregory goes on a rampage like this, Indus will not stay still. “I can only guess that Gregory is taking advantage of that gap.”
“okay. “It’s not bad.”
Of course, Philly. Guessing is fast.
I nodded and said.
“However, the information I checked did not confirm why the drivers committed the crime. “Once you know that, you will have a clue…”
That was then. A ringtone was heard from somewhere. The seat next to me was the driver’s side.
“I’m sorry, can I take it?”
“Of course.”
Fili said without concern. The driver took out his Sage phone and brought it to his ear. And
boom –
the speed of the car became strangely fast. The speed of the car, which had been creeping up, was now something that could not be ignored.
I looked at the driver.
“…Hey.”
The moment I quietly recited, the driver turned the steering wheel. The accelerator continued to accelerate without stopping. In front of me, there was a guardrail and a bottomless cliff beyond.
Quang!!
The sedan hit the guardrail and soared into the air.
