Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 121 Chapter

37 Memory (3)

9:52 AM.

A third-grade classroom where one theory class has ended.

Queenie kept fiddling with the glasses she wore on the bridge of her nose, feeling awkward.

“uh? “Did you buy Queenie glasses?”

My friend Anne came up to me and asked.

“Oh yeah. “I feel like my eyesight has gotten a little worse.”

Queenie covered it up with a convenient lie.

Of course, Quinier’s eyesight is fine. These glasses were prepared after listening to Frontier’s words.

“Does it suit you well? After all, it becomes your face, so you can wear anything.”

“it’s okay.”

Queenie threw up her hand in response to the compliment that didn’t seem to be sincere at all.

I checked the scenery seen through the glasses again.

‘It’s a bit annoying.’

Quinier checked the bottom left of the scenery seen through the glasses.

[9:52:32]

The time, which can be checked by hours, minutes and seconds, is always displayed at the bottom left of the field of view.

‘So if time suddenly jumps, does that mean I’ve lost my memory?’

If a guy erases his memories, a lot of time flies. Then, when she sees it, it will seem like time has passed.

‘Who on earth is this?’

There is a high probability that the masked man is Constell’s student.

I don’t know what the exact purpose is, but I know that Queenie doesn’t have much of a reason to target her.

It may be the ‘property’ of the Viet family, the family itself, or the revenge of another family whose dark crimes were discovered because of her.

‘But it looks like you want to do something to me since you’re talking about my past.’

And he even lied that the culprit of the incident was Korra.

Thinking about that makes my head ache again, but that’s for later.

If we catch him, we’ll know everything.

‘…But these glasses.’

It’s too obvious.

Queenie doesn’t normally wear glasses.

The day after I met him, I was suddenly wearing glasses that I don’t normally wear. Will he approach me?

In addition, there are not many models of glasses that can see the seconds to check the time. He may already know about these glasses that I prepared in a hurry.

Queenie was anxious on the inside, but she was looking at her watch faithfully.

First of all, Queenie herself can’t think of any other alternatives. Anyway, if you wear these glasses, he will be wary and won’t be able to use his abilities easily. Let’s take comfort in that for now.

Ding—dong—dang—dong—

The bell rang, signaling the end of recess.

Afterwards, Quinier pretended to concentrate on class and checked his watch. The same was true during recess.

However, even after all the morning classes, lunch time, and afternoon classes.

Even after school was over, the clock did not skip the time.

I knew it. This operation is a failure. He doesn’t approach.

Boom—

At that time, Quinier’s phone rang. There was a text message.

As I half expected, it was Frontier.

[Senior Queenie.]

A text message that seems to be a greeting.

I guess they’re asking you to report on the situation. Queenie smiled bitterly and wrote a message.

‘The operation was a failure. ‘There was nothing strange about the watch.’ While I was typing,

the next text message came.

[I found him. Thanks.]

“…Huh?”

You found it? how?

Thanks to you? why?

While my mind was in confusion, I received another text message.

[Sir, I have a question for you.]

I didn’t answer this time. I didn’t really understand what Frontier said, so I was busy clearing my mind.

Meanwhile, another text message arrived.

[Is it a lie that Korra is coming today? Are you serious?]

“What?”

An even weirder story.

If you look at the text and try to understand it as much as possible.

Quinier told someone today about Cora. What this means is that Frontier is asking about the truth after knowing that.

‘Have I lost my memory?’

I got goosebumps when I realized it too late.

* * *

The night before.

I sent a text message to Quinier and then relayed the message to Gregory.

[Give glasses to Queenie?]

“Yes. If you lose your memory, you will also forget the time that passed. “From the perspective of someone who has lost their memory, it will seem like time has skipped.”

You can make someone lose their memories, but they can’t do anything about the past.

If you can always check your watch, you will be able to confirm that you have lost your memory, even if you cannot prevent it.

——But actually, that’s not the case.

“Quinier would think something like this.”

[what? So is it actually different?]

“It’s different. “His ability does not erase all memories, but only erases himself from those memories.”

According to Gregory’s report, Quinier remembers his ‘necrophobia’ as a result of the wolf attack.

‘But it’s probably Cora who killed the person in that incident.’

Korra inherited the white tiger’s blood. It wouldn’t be a problem to kill several people if you wanted to.

However, there is a high probability that it is not your will. The masked man probably caused Korra to go berserk for some reason. Be it magic or medicine.

In any case, Quinier did not completely forget the incident. In other words, the memory was not lost at all, but it was readjusted without the memory of the masked man and Korra.

In the process of the masked man erasing his own existence, Korra was also included.

“So no matter how much you look at your watch, Queenie won’t notice any discomfort. Not all memories are lost, but only the person himself is taken out of the memory, and the thoughts fill in the empty space. “It’s my own opinion, so it’s impossible for me to doubt it.”

[Then why did you tell Queenie to get glasses? It doesn’t do anything to stop this guy’s abilities. [On the contrary, he became arrogant]

After saying that, the crow kept his mouth shut.

Gregory realized it himself. It was quite a rare sight to see a crow’s beak move so hard that it closes midway.

I said.

“okay. “He will become arrogant and use his abilities without hesitation.”

Queenie’s defense was a poor response to the masked man’s abilities.

He throws a bait where he thought Quinier was mistaken.

“I think he thinks he’s pretty smart.”

Let’s see if it’s as good as you think.

* * *

The next day I gave Gregory instructions as planned.

No, I was going to get off.

“….”

“What’s wrong, Mr. Frontier?”

Aten asked me, who was still looking at the crow.

This is a classroom.

In order for me to proceed according to plan, I need to receive continuous reports from Gregory.

Inside this classroom, next to Aten.

‘…eh.’

I don’t know.

“When the bell rings, proceed as planned. “Report regularly.”

[I understand.]

I said to Gregory, and Gregory opened his mouth to answer. He seemed to know what I meant by even using an honorific title.

“Huh? uh?”

Aten was surprised as he looked at me and the crow in turns.

“What did the crow say…?”

“hmm. “I worked hard on timing.”

A highly skilled tamer can teach an animal to speak.

This is especially easy for highly intelligent individuals like crows.

But that’s something that only extremely high-level tamers do. That also took a considerable amount of time.

In my case.

“When did you get so good at timing… no, that’s ridiculous. Is this a talent? divine power?”

As expected, this is the reaction.

I pulled the corners of my mouth into a confident smile. I recently learned about natural smiles from Selena, but I’m not sure if it worked out well.

“Talent, strength, etc. “I would say it’s the ultimate result of combining everything you can think of.”

I said whatever I could.

But Aten put his hand to his mouth and raised his eyebrows together seriously.

“Talent and divine power… the ultimate result of combining everything…”

Aten, don’t mutter so seriously.

As I listened to other people, I realized that I had said something very embarrassing.

“Now now.”

I looked at Aten and asked.

“Do you know how to do the ‘Whispering Wind’ spell?”

I was blatantly dragging Aten into the incident.

Aten nodded.

“Use it right now.”

At my words, Aten spread his hands without asking.

A soundproofing spell where only my voice, Aten, and Gregory’s voices can be heard. The wind whispers.

I checked it and saw a crow.

“Then if you find anything, report it right away. “If it’s urgent, class time is fine.”

[How can I check if he is using his abilities?]

“…I explained everything yesterday.”

[sorry. My memory is vague. It’s a crow.]

This is a question that anyone who sees this bastard should listen to. In fact, Aten was watching the crow with interest and curiosity.

I said with a sigh.

“There is no need to check whether the ability is being used. “What matters is the content of the words.”

If he saw Queenie wearing glasses, he would definitely approach her. Believing that Quinier had mistaken his abilities.

Of course, you can’t help but believe it because it’s true.

Queenie is very popular. You will be able to talk to a lot of people.

What’s important is the content.

Who brings up the story about ‘Kora’?

‘The fact that I don’t know Korra means that she will almost certainly be removed from the game.’

In other words, he is targeting Cora before Queenie. Korra is the biggest obstacle to his plan.

“Find the guy asking about ‘Korra.’ “If it’s a question like when will Korra come to Constel again, you win.”

[okay. Indeed, you are the master.]

This guy was having fun.

Ding—dong—

And when the class bell rang, the crow bowed its head in a respectful manner.

[Then I will follow your orders.]

As he said that and looked at the flying crow, Aten’s eyes were shining like never before.

And Gregory is definitely enjoying it too.

I asked Aten, who was blankly watching the flying crow.

“Aten are you okay? “You probably don’t even know what’s going on.”

“it’s okay. Because it seems important. “Unless Mr. Frontier wants to commit a crime.”

After saying that, Aten looked at me in surprise.

“Are you sure I was involved in a crime?”

“no. No way.”

“Yes. “It was a joke.”

okay. That’s a joke.

Aten learned a new ‘joke’.

“Because I trust Mr. Frontier.”

…and additionally learn ‘burdening’.

* * *

And after a while.

[Report.]

It wasn’t until after school that I got my harvest.

A crow flew to the window and opened its mouth.

[I found a guy who asked Quinier about Cora’s location. He even asked explicitly when he would come.]

“Okay. “What did Queenie answer?”

[I answered that I would come today. However, I don’t know if it’s true. [Quinier at the time would have been suspicious of everyone who approached her.]

Quinier would naturally be wary of anyone who asks about Cora.

So I may have lied, or I may have told the truth to attract him. He probably believes that he will be able to determine when he loses his memories.

Anyway, he took the bait well.

“Then, after asking, you must have done something to make Queenie lose her memory. Did you check that too?”

I asked Gregory.

If you had asked about Korra, of course they would have done something to make her lose her memory afterwards.

[…That.]

But Gregory, uncharacteristically, stopped talking.

[I saw with my own eyes that he had touched Queenie’s arm with his finger.]

“…That’s all?”

[Yes.]

I narrowed my eyes.

In other words, the condition for causing someone to lose their memory is just a brief physical contact?

‘No. Since it’s a short memory, the conditions may be relatively simple.’

…even so.

It was a moment when I realized the fear of ‘divine power’.
