The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 249

Chapter 78 Mixed (2)

Elodie was completely against it, but I was also in favor of taking May to Constell.

Someday, Mei will have to enter the world too. I can’t keep you locked up in my workshop forever.

If May keeps her appearance fixed and doesn’t try to change into someone else again, there is no need to worry about being caught.

Mei looks very young now, so of course it would be difficult for her to enroll, but it would be okay if she just wanted to tour for a day.

Elodie gave all kinds of reasons to convince May that she should not go to Constell, but honestly, unlike Elodie, the reasons were not valid at all, so they were all dismissed.

“…Okay then.”

Elodie looked at me pointedly with half-open eyes.

“How are you going to explain that?”

“that?”

“He has a face similar to mine and yours.”

At those words, I looked at May. A face that definitely resembles mine and Elodie’s. Maybe that’s why May’s appearance is very, very outstanding. It looks so androgynous that it doesn’t feel realistic.

I tilted my head and said.

“…by chance?”

“Dismissed!!”

“Sometimes in life, you might meet someone who looks like you.”

“You and I are taking her, but do you think we can just say it’s a coincidence that she looks like me and you?”

When I hear it like that, it seems awkward again.

Hmm, I rested my chin and thought for a moment.

In any case, you need a good reason to take May to Constel.

Still, my reputation isn’t good at Constel, so I have to come up with an excuse to erase the teachers’ suspicions.

“…For now, let’s just say he’s my relative.”

“It’s okay. So, aside from the fact that it resembles you, what are you going to do with the thing that resembles me?”

“That’s just a coincidence.”

“hey!”

“Or do you want to say he’s your relative? “I’m okay with a coincidence of resemblance.”

“It’s not that kind of problem!”

…wasn’t it?

Elodie didn’t seem to like the fact that May’s face resembled hers.

Elodie trembled as she looked at me for a while, unable to understand. Then, as if he had given up on something, he sighed and slumped his shoulders.

“…okay. Whatever happens, I don’t know. “So what should I do during class?”

“are you okay. “Because I have someone to be with.”

“okay?”

huh.

The crow will be by your side.

“Then the remaining problem is….”

“It’s common sense.”

May doesn’t know about this world. Rather than not knowing about the world, I don’t know much about people and society.

“You need to teach me about that too.”

“that’s right.”

I heard Elodie agree and then looked at her. May was also looking at Elodie.

May bowed her head.

“Please take care of me.”

“Yeah… huh?!”

Elodie, who had been answering without thinking, raised her head in surprise.

“Nana?”

“huh. “I have to go to Constel again starting tomorrow.”

“I have to go too?”

“You can’t go yet. “Osprit didn’t come back.”

Ah, Elodie let out a short sound. I guess I forgot about it for a moment.

Elodie is still lost in this world. Mei and May are the only ones who can see her now.

“I don’t know how long it will take for Ospreet to return, but we have no choice right now. “Just waking you up was a big deal.”

I knew the power of this magic when Elodie disappeared.

And even Elodie, who is trying to combine the Four Elements, was unable to dispel the magic and fell into hibernation, so it’s best not to even dream about how I can use this magic.

“Well, that’s true, but…”

Elodie looked at May with an anxious face.

“I’m not good at treating children. “It just rang all the time.”

“May is smart, so she’ll be fine.”

It’s not that smart.

Actually, Elodie doesn’t have much to teach you. All actions, such as greeting people, purchasing items, or using a vending machine, will be perfectly learned once you show them.

Actually, what I’m worried about right now is not May, but Elodie.

‘If it is possible for May to always be looking at Elodie, then Elodie will never disappear again.’

Of course, I am always aware of Elodie’s existence, but as I do not fully understand this magic, no amount of preparation is enough.

If there was a good reason to teach May some general knowledge, Elodie wouldn’t be so lonely.

“…good. It just worked out well. “It will be easier to teach May because other people won’t see me.”

In the eyes of others, May will appear to be alone, so we can take various measures to deal with it. This is an Elodie-like thought.

I looked outside.

In reality, when I returned after waking Elodie from her sleep, the sun had already disappeared for a long time. The moonlight shone softly on the dark night.

There are no light sources such as street lights around here, so the only source of light is the lantern that lights up the hut.

I stood up.

“Then I’ll go. “It’s late at night.”

“Are you going to go?”

“There is a bed on the first floor. Let’s sleep there. May… can sleep on her own, right?”

May nodded.

I spoke to Elodie again.

“From now on, I will come here every day after school. At least until Ospreet returns.”

“…Do you know when you’ll be back? “It might take years, even decades.”

Elodie asked, looking at me with a dissatisfied face.

I tilted my head.

“Things like that happen, too.”

“…uh?”

“Then sleep well, Elodie. may.”

After saying that, I went up to the basement and left the cabin.

You’re coming here. I’ve set up the portal in advance, so there’s nothing difficult.

“It was originally a portal installed to create a workshop next to the cabin.”

The cabin has suddenly become a place to meet Elodie and May.

* * *

“…Finish your story before leaving.”

Elodie muttered with a dissatisfied face.

It may take several decades.

The answer that came back to me was, ‘That could be possible.’

“what. Are you going to come here after school for that long? When you graduate from Constel, it won’t be after school or anything. fool.”

Elodie grumbled without knowing why she was grumbling.

Then, after a while, I quietly looked at May next to me.

“…I couldn’t ask in the end.”

Elodie muttered.

May now looks like a mix of Elodie and Frondier.

Because I observed Elodie and Frondier together in a dream.

In other words, Frondier entered Elodie’s indefinite hibernation. To save Elodie.

The Frontier in front of Elodie was not a fake created in a dream. It really was a frontier.

May is nothing short of proof.

That’s why Elodie wanted to ask.

‘…Have you really forgiven me?’

Frontier is smart. He would have clearly known what method to use to save the traumatized woman.

So wasn’t Frontier saying something he didn’t mean to say?

Could it be that he just told Elodie what she wanted to hear in order to get out of the dream?

In fact, Frontier still resents and hates Elodie, but he is just hiding it.

“….”

Of course, May just looked at Elodie with innocent eyes at Elodie’s muttering.

Elodie smiled and shook her head.

“No, May. “I didn’t mean to tell you.”

“Do you think Frontier in the dream lied?”

“?!”

Elodie lifted her head in surprise. There were so many surprises today.

“How?”

“You said you observed dreams.”

“I know that, but how can you guess that from what I just said?”

Elodie just said she couldn’t ask.

May said.

“I think I would have been worried about that.”

“….”

The current May even somehow follows Frontier and Elodie’s habits. Did I come to understand Frontier and Elodie better by imitating the two?

“Don’t worry too much.”

“…It’s a bit pathetic to be comforted by a child.”

“Frondier risked his life to save me.”

“…!”

May spoke with pure eyes, as if she was saying the obvious.

“There is no way Frontier hates Elodie.”

When I say that, I somehow feel like Frontier again.

“…okay.”

Before she knew it, Elodie had her knees together and buried her face.

“yes?”

The low voice he recited trembled like a leaf, and his blooming smile was red.

* * *

We don’t know when Ospreet will come.

In the meantime, we have decided not to interfere in this world as much as possible.

Elodie and I have already disobeyed all of the letters Ospreet delivered to Jane, the current rector.

I told Elodie that Elodie was affected by the disappearance and was forgotten by everyone just because of that fact, and she was convinced.

Actually, that may not be the only thing.

‘…If I say this, other people will think I’m crazy.’

Elodie has too many gods.

What I have experienced while living in this world so far is that even though God is by your side, you cannot always see good things. In fact, the opposite is more often the case.

The best example is Edwin, whose mind was controlled by his own god, Hephaestus. This eventually caused Edwin great guilt and he no longer believed in God.

‘It is possible that Elodie being caught up in Ospreet’s magic was God’s work.’

It may not necessarily be Rudra. Elodie has five gods.

From my conversation with Rudra, God has a completely different perspective from humans. What they love and care for humans may be different from what humans think from the beginning.

‘It’s proof that the owners of a person’s divine power love that person.’

Love isn’t always good. The same applies to God’s love.

It is not strange that among the five gods, there is one god who has the wrong love. In my opinion, Rudra is strange enough.

In any case, the existence of God does not necessarily bring good results to humans.

As proof,

“Puhuok!”

Even now, Pielot is rolling around in front of me because the god Hypnos was caught trying to steal my belongings.

Rumors are still prevalent in Constell that Pielot, the biggest freshman prospect this year, is being pushed aside by the worst sophomore.

The rumor will never die down.

Because it is an absolutely clear fact.

“…Hmm.”

Pielot gets tested by me once a month.

Rather than a test, it is a bet that will depend on Pielot’s future life as to whether or not he will turn a blind eye to his criminal activities.

If he touches my body within 5 minutes, Pielot wins.

“Khuuuuuuck!”

Watching Pielot rolling on the ground after being hit by my weaving once again made me feel a little sad.

‘…What should I do?’

I was a little worried.

Actually, I have no intention of accusing Pielot. Whether I win or lose. This test has already entered an unrelated phase. That was my intention from the beginning, and Pielot probably knew the truth.

Therefore, I need to gradually readjust my condition to match Pielot’s current stage.

If this situation continues, it will become nothing but harassment.

‘The combination of black cloth and instant weaving that I have also works on demons.’

Of course, the demons called by that guy named Mizonas were numerous, but not that great. That must have been the limit of the gate that was forced to open using the Dragon Heart.

However, considering that demons can use auras like breathing due to their nature, it is clear that they are at a starting point far ahead of humans.

Pielot, who was born with a high aptitude for Aura, had already mastered Aura even before he had proper sword skills. The title of the biggest freshman prospect comes from that knowledge.

In other words, Pielot’s talent comes from having almost the same start as most devils. That alone is an incredible talent.

‘So, I did a lot of experiments at the time.’

Knowing that, I conducted various experiments while dealing with demons and in my spare time.

What is the difference between the weaving of Black Heaven and the Weaving of Menosorpo? Can Black Heaven alone fight against them? How well can demons withstand divine weapons? How much of a gap is there with Constel’s new students?

…What I learned through various experiments is that the combination of black cloth and instant weaving alone makes the opponent very picky.

It was so difficult that many people died while trying to deal with it. This means that it is extremely difficult.

‘It was natural that it was difficult for new students to pass my test at the time. ‘I was thinking wrong.’

From that perspective, Pielot is currently facing an opponent that is completely unsuited to his level.

It’s not that I’m strong, but the combination I’m using right now is too difficult. It was a combination that could easily handle even dozens of demons attacking it.

‘But if I lower my skills, Pielot’s bad habits will pop out again.’

Nevertheless, the reason why I continue this almost bullying battle is because I cannot look into Pielot’s heart.

Is the current Pielot ready to grow? Wouldn’t he be back to being as arrogant as before? Won’t we once again forget that the basics are just as important as the Aurors?

“Oh, there’s still a long way to go!”

“There is still time.”

I spoke calmly to Pielot’s cries. He grits his teeth and quietly observes Pielot, who is attacking him.

…I don’t attack as blindly as before. I am preparing by thinking it through. Maybe it’s because they’re used to my attacks, but they react quickly and don’t easily show loopholes.

‘Is this okay?’

Pow!

“Tsk!”

Even if you get hit somewhere, you don’t panic or lose your body’s balance. The right option was clearly stuck in my mind.

However, something frustrating is visible that is different from Pielot so far. I don’t feel like I’m giving my all in some way.

This is something I cannot ignore. Did Pielot sense that I wasn’t going to press charges and start fighting before I knew it? Because of that suspicion, my attitude toward Pielot becomes increasingly cold.

…But as time goes by and you realize that Pielot’s serious attitude is not an act, you become more suspicious. Are there other reasons for not giving your best?

“Pielot.”

In the end, I decided to ask directly.

“Why don’t you give it your all?”

“That’s not true!”

Pielot shouted in embarrassment. But when I see it with my own eyes, it’s clear that I’m not giving it my all.

“I don’t blame you. “Of course, that was my intention at first, but it seems there is some reason I don’t know.”

“That…”

“If this continues, your pride as a warrior will be damaged even before you are accused of a crime.”

Pielot bit his lip at my words.

After taking a deep sigh, Pielot spoke.

“…Do you remember the freshman skills test?”

“of course.”

“At that time, I ignored the strategy created by Dier and tried to attack my senior.”

At that time, Pielot had two choices: attack me or attack the key.

By choosing the easy choice first, he could have gained an advantage over me, but Pielot completely ignored the key and was only looking at me.

“At that time, my stubbornness ruined the operation. “It was a strategy that Dier was sure our team could win.”

“…You can definitely win?”

That’s surprising. It cannot be said that you will definitely win just because you present the Easy Choice first.

“How can you guarantee that you will win? In that situation?”

Pielot hesitated at my words and then spoke.

“…I can separate the auror and the actual sword and attack simultaneously at different targets.”

“…!”

I was surprised at those words and looked at Pielot.

“…At that time, you were able to hit me and the key at the same time?”

“That’s right.”

That’s definitely a strategy that can win 100%. Especially since I didn’t know such technology existed.

But then.

“Then you can use that technique when you fight me now, so why aren’t you doing that?”

If Pielot can attack with two different trajectories at the same time, it will be difficult for any country to deal with.

Is Pielot, whose Auror talent is different from others, truly capable of such high-level skills?

However, Pielot hesitated and turned his eyes to the side as if he was embarrassed.

“But this technology has a fatal flaw.”

“what?”

“…something like that.”

Pielot pursed his lips in a way that did not suit him and then said,

“…the sword must be sheathed.”

“…huh?”

“So, it is ‘baldosul’.”

Put it in the scabbard.

In other words, before using a skill, you must perform a dangerous action that does not apply to either attack or defense, such as putting the sword into the sheath.

Although the image of ‘baldosul’ is cool, when viewed realistically, it is not.

“…why?”

This is a technology that inevitably raises questions.

Pielot’s face turned red and he muttered in a hushed voice.

“…Because it was cool to see him do Baldo when he was young.”

“Because it’s cool?”

“After practicing like that, I ended up being able to do just that.”

“….”

I thought about what to say for a moment, but ended up keeping my mouth shut.

The concerns of Constel’s biggest freshman freshman were truly unique.
