Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 109 Chapter

32 Kraken (1)

Aten and I arrived in front of the broadcast room.

“…Is Serph still around?”

“I don’t know if he’s here, but he’s probably watching us.”

He tried to kill me by using all the students who received his business card.

It looks like he really wants to kill me, so he probably didn’t just jump out.

“Then this broadcast room itself could be a trap.”

“yes. “You know I have no choice but to come here.”

Aten raised his hand and closed his eyes.

“…I can’t feel any mana. “It doesn’t look like a magic trap has been set up.”

“good.”

I nodded and slowly opened the door. Nothing happened.

After looking around carefully, I entered and saw several students who had collapsed.

“Aten.”

“yes.”

Aten approached and checked the students’ condition. Meanwhile, I checked the broadcast room equipment.

And I was able to find it soon. What was Serf’s intention?

[Come to the auditorium.]

One short line. He designated a place to meet me.

Aten said after checking the condition of the fallen students.

“…I’m bleeding profusely. “It may be okay right now, but it would be dangerous if I left it alone.”

“That means I’m going to tie you up here.”

Aten nodded.

“Are you okay? “The auditorium really seems like a trap.”

“We can’t keep leaving students like that.”

I took out my phone.

“Would you like to call me?”

“huh. To my brother.”

A sudden eccentric event in which Philly’s driver crashed his car into a guardrail.

It’s probably because of the ‘business card’.

Since you did that after answering the phone, you must have heard Serf Daniel’s voice on the phone. Now that the misfortune caused by that ‘business card’ has spread throughout Constel, we must inform Atjie.

I want to tell Fili, but I don’t know what he might say to me if Ajie is next to me.

I hear a brief call tone.

-…Frondier.

Atjie answered the phone.

“Oh brother. That’s me. Constel is now in shambles. “Most of the students are following the antics of Her Majesty the Empress’s driver last time.”

I tried my best to explain, but somehow there was no response from the other side of the phone.

Then Ajie opened his mouth.

-Frondier I also have something to tell you.

“What is it?”

-Well, that’s right. To borrow your expression….

Ajie spoke in a somewhat awkward tone.

-This side is also a mess.

“…yes?”

-No, let me correct that a bit. The situation is not messy. However, there is no doubt that something strange has happened.

“Is there a problem?”

-Most of the knights of the imperial palace are standing still.

“Standing still?”

-okay. His eyes are far away and his expression looks like a corpse. It feels similar to the driver you mentioned. Right now, everyone is standing still with that kind of face.

If so, it was definitely Serf’s doing. Business cards were also distributed to the drivers.

But it is a strange thing.

Ajie also said he felt the same way.

-But I don’t know the criminal’s purpose. If I could give an order that would cause a car to crash into a guardrail like last time, there would be nothing I wouldn’t be able to do with this many articles. I don’t understand why it’s left standing like this.

I also frowned because I thought the same thing.

A serf would have been able to give a much wider range of commands.

“…!”

I raised my head.

Realized. If you think about it, it was a simple thing.

“…I see.”

-Frondier?

“okay. There’s no way he’s alive.”

I was mistaken. This incident was a joint operation between Gregory and Serf.

But that was impossible. What I first thought and what I believed was correct.

“Oh, thank you. “I’ll hang up first.”

-If you can solve it there, hurry. There is an emergency situation here due to business paralysis.

“yes.”

I hung up.

I was mistaken.

Yes, to borrow Ajie’s expression—

the enemy is now on high alert.

* * *

Footsteps echoed loudly in the empty auditorium.

I walked slowly, but it echoed throughout the auditorium.

“…Howdy.”

And in the center of the auditorium, a man was sitting on a chair.

He was unarmed. I was completely defenseless.

I slowly approached him. He raised one hand as if in greeting.

“Hello Frontier.”

He acted as if he knew me, but it was my first time seeing him.

Yes, of course.

I am now seeing the face of ‘Gregory’ for the first time.

“…you’re hurt.”

“Uh huh.”

Looking closely, Gregory’s condition was serious.

His entire body was covered in wounds, especially his side. There’s no blood flowing, but that’s probably it.

“Necrosis is occurring. I got hurt while running around, but I couldn’t go to the hospital. “Now the only answer is surgery.”

“…Maybe I should have found a pharmacy or a quack.”

“Hot ha. “You don’t know much about Indus.”

That explained it in one word.

Most things that are not legal have the eyes and ears of the Indus. I couldn’t have done that with my body running away.

“It wasn’t Serf after all.”

“okay. You knew it. The guy died in the cabin. Getting hit by an arrow. It was stuck in the exact center of my forehead as if it had been painted. “If that happened and he was still alive, I wouldn’t have stuck around with him.”

It was Gregory who handed out business cards and ordered me to be killed in the broadcast room.

“You managed to find Serph’s voice.”

“It’s just one sentence. ‘Kill the Frontier’. That guy was shouting that out a dozen times from where he died. “I analyzed the remaining mana with a recorder and recorded it.”

Serph was dead, but his business card remained.

The business card still had Serf’s abilities. It was useless because there were no Serphs, but that one voice remained.

Gregory raised his head and looked at me. The feelings of resignation and giving up were clearly visible in those eyes.

“Frondier. Arrest me.”

“….”

“You can’t run away from Indus. Even if we borrowed the eyes and ears of all animals, it was impossible. The investigative net is getting narrower. “In this situation, it would be better to get caught by the police.”

“Did you go through all these months just to get caught?”

“yes. “Based on the information I’ve gathered so far, you would be the perfect person to cause a big fuss.”

I am connected to many named characters within Constell. Of course, I have tried to make that happen.

But in Gregory’s eyes, it was actually something worth using.

“What did you do to the imperial palace?”

“I didn’t do anything special. At first, I dug up information from the dirty knights and threatened them. So it was made to cause petty crimes. Of course, I borrowed the name from Indus.”

“…The eyes of the Indus have turned towards the imperial palace.”

Gregory nodded.

The commotion going on in Constel right now. From my perspective, it seems like a very big event, but outsiders probably don’t even know what’s happening yet.

On the other hand, the incident at the imperial palace must be causing a stir by now. There have been incidents of accidents involving new, junior knights, but today the knights stand still as a group.

“The orders are the same. Of course it was, ‘Kill Frontier.’ But the knights don’t know who Frontier is. So I have no choice but to stand still.”

This was why I was convinced that Serf was dead. It’s not that Serf didn’t give other orders, but it was because he realized that he couldn’t do anything other than order me to be killed.

“You made a big deal out of just wanting to get arrested. “I could have just embroidered it.”

“If I had not committed this incident and turned myself in, I would only live for a year at most. During the cabin incident, I was merely an informant. Even before that, it was mostly like that. Because I am a ‘spy’. Then, after you are released, you will just be targeted by Indus again.”

“…Are you saying you caused an accident and extended your sentence? “Because it’s important to live even if you serve a long time in prison?”

“of course. I want to live like crazy. And the other guy can’t relax. Even if I get arrested, Indus can get me out in the meantime. “I needed someone who was famous and whose family was very high-ranking.”

It means I was a perfect fit there.

Gregory looked relieved as if he had finished telling the story. He held out both hands.

“Now, arrest him.”

“…First of all, there are no handcuffs or ropes for me.”

“Then at least subdue him with your bare hands. Because acting is important in things like this.”

Gregory speaks confidently.

I sighed and reached out to Gregory.

Moment.

“──I found it.”

Like neither male nor female.

I heard a voice that was just persistently displeased.

Sigh!

Something black came out from behind Gregory and wrapped around his neck.

“Big!”

Gregory was dragged helplessly with his neck wrapped around his neck. Crash! The chair fell over and Gregory waved his legs frantically, but he slipped helplessly.

‘whip?’

No, it wasn’t that simple. The moment that sticky, squishy thing with a very faint purple glow grabbed Gregory, it reminded him of something like the tentacles of a mollusk.

The tentacle extended from a person. Where did it come from, or was it there from the beginning? Even though it was right in front of me, it didn’t feel real. It was that heterogeneous.

The other part looked like an ordinary human, but the right arm turned into a tentacle and was holding onto Gregory.

…There is no guarantee that just that right arm will change. That whole body pretending to be human might be something like a mollusk.

“Knock…knock….”

Gregory waved his hand to remove the tentacle wrapped around his neck. However, the hand could not grasp the tentacles as if they were moving through water.

──Ignoring the physical power of that tentacle opponent, I unilaterally exercise physical power.

“Hello, Frontier de Roach.”

Just like that voice, it was impossible to guess its gender from its face and body.

“I am a person who has nothing to do with Indus.”

The strange way of speaking, the voice, and the strange appearance were all getting on my nerves.

He is a person who has nothing to do with Indus.

“Free Gregory, Indus.”

“yes? why? We were enemies until just now. I can’t use it if you suddenly act like I’m friendly. “And”

he stretched out his left arm. The moment I thought that the index finger was raised, its

tentacle

grazed my temple. After all, it’s not just the right arm that can turn into a tentacle.

“It’s not Indus. “Did you just say that?”

“Okay then what is it? What is the number of ‘persons not related to Indus’?”

He grinned at my question. The manipulation of the face, with the eyes and mouth curved like a crescent moon, was not a human smile.

“I don’t need to know the number, but I don’t know.”

The guy rolled his eyes as if he just remembered something and said,

“Yeah. “It’s called ‘Kraken.’”

He introduced himself with a truly fitting name.
