Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 25 Chapter
7 Disciplinary Committee
Edwin was sitting in a chair.
My saliva dries up. That’s how much cold sweat broke out on my back.
In front of him, Constell’s famous teachers were looking at him.
Surrounded by them, Edwin sat like a criminal.
No, the criminal was right.
Now he is attending the disciplinary committee.
“…Edwin.”
“Yes, yes!”
A white-haired man sitting across from Edwin. There was a shimmering blue glow inside his wrinkled eyes, and he was wrapped in a long robe of unknown size.
He is the final person in charge and highest rank at Constel.
This is the president, ‘Zodiac’ Ospreet.
“There is no need to explain the circumstances separately. “Because you turned yourself in.”
“…That’s right.”
Edwin nodded silently.
The young man on the right let out a deep voice. It was Ales, the instructor in charge of basic combat skills.
“The students were unilaterally assaulted. Some of them were seriously injured! In particular, Gary is still hospitalized with a broken jaw! That sin is never light. Even if it’s embroidery!”
“I think ‘I did embroidery’ is more important?”
The person who answered was ‘Jane’, a teacher in charge of basic mana theory and basic practice.
A teacher who guided Frontier and his party through the lower-level dungeon.
That lively face was still noticeable even within the committee.
“Until student Edwin used the golem, he was the one who was being assaulted one-sidedly. “All of the students who were harmed belonged to the commoners’ group ‘Aktober,’ and it has already been confirmed that they systematically harassed Edwin.”
“Even so! “They didn’t hurt Edwin to that extent!”
“It may have stopped there because Edwin was acting in self-defense. “It is not right to describe what could be considered ‘excessive defense’ as ‘one-sided assault.’”
Jane and Alles are both Constell’s full-time teachers who teach first-grade common classes. They taught Edwin and Gary when they were in first grade.
It was around that time that the conflict structure between commoners and nobles became more severe.
Jane struggled to distinguish between individuals in the conflict, but Ales was on the side of the commoners from the beginning.
This is because he is the one who built up his reputation through repeated sincere and honest efforts in the commoner class.
The spectacles of being a fallen aristocrat are worse than the spectacles of being an aristocrat.
Many teachers and students knew that Edwin did not belong anywhere and was wandering around.
But Edwin persevered and has not been implicated in any incidents to this day.
Therefore, Jane believed Edwin in this incident as well, while Ales believed that Edwin had committed it this time.
“Both of you, calm down.”
Elegant voice. It was Malia de Roach, a health teacher.
It was strange that Malia, who was just a health teacher, would attend the disciplinary committee, but no one complained about it.
“The reason Edwin was brought here today was not because of the assault incident. Yes?”
“that’s right. “The golem is the problem.”
Aless replied as if satisfied.
Jane pursed her lips.
In fact, from the perspective of Constel’s teachers, this is more problematic than the assault incident.
Even Jane, who wants to defend Edwin, doesn’t have much to say about this issue.
“Edwin, you stole Teacher Binkis’ golem and used it to assault. Do you agree?”
Ales’ question is malicious.
That’s literally what Edwin confessed to earlier.
Edwin closed his eyes and answered.
“Yes that’s right.”
“The date of stealing the golem and the assault incident are very close together. “It appears that the golem was stolen from the beginning to assault the students. Do you agree with this?”
“Teacher Ales!”
Jane shouted. Alex’s statement now is just logic based on speculation and far-fetched logic.
However, Edwin’s posture and expression from when he first came here were already withering with guilt.
That kind of nonsense can work.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you agree or not?”
“Teacher Ales! “You are saying too much!”
“I didn’t ask you, Teacher Jane!”
Aless stood up from the chair.
The trudging, indifferent gait was in itself overflowing with intimidation.
Ales approached Edwin and threatened him.
“Answer me Edwin! If you weren’t planning on attacking the students, why did you steal Teacher Binkis’ golem? The first time you used the golem right after you stole it was for assault! “If this series of actions isn’t intentional, what is?”
Edwin still had his eyes closed.
Ales’s scolding did not shake Edwin’s heart. He was just shaking and shaking himself.
-I did something worse than that.
Any excuse can be made for hitting students.
However, he tried to silence Elin, who was his close friend, and Frondier tried to kill him with all his heart.
The starting point of that unknown anger was unclear, but it was clearly his will.
-Has it really fallen? Edwin.
Elin, it’s just as you said.
It’s also funny to deny it.
“Answer me! Edwin!!!”
Ales’ work.
Edwin slowly opened his eyes.
Yes, it seems everything was intentional. It is right to admit it. Because Edwin von Behertio fell.
Slowly his mouth opens and
voila!!!
A sharp sound filled the entire conference room, hitting all the walls and ceiling.
Everyone turned their gaze in the direction where the sound came from.
“…Mr. Binkis?”
Ales tilted his head as if wondering.
Teacher Binkis’s hands were touching.
She clapped her hands.
“Ah, I finally understand.”
“What do you mean now?”
“Hey, I don’t understand why Edwin came here and did that. I’ve been watching the situation for a while and it looks like this. So, student Edwin is being scolded now?”
Teacher Binkis was speaking with a refreshing expression as if he had finally solved the problem.
Teacher Alles frowned because it was so strange.
“Don’t you know better than anyone else what student Edwin did?”
“So no one said anything to me. Because there was such a misunderstanding.”
misunderstanding?
Ales’ expression became increasingly unpleasant. For some reason, I had a feeling that Vinkiss was going to say something very unpleasant.
Binkis put both hands on his hips and spoke in a very proud tone.
“I gave that golem to student Edwin. “Edwin didn’t steal it.”
Surprisingly, it was a really unpleasant comment.
“What what?”
“As everyone knows, Edwin has been my assistant for a long time. Edwin was such a talented student that, shamefully, he received a lot of help when researching golems. The golem is that gift.”
Aless was dumbfounded by those words and opened his mouth.
A teacher gave a metal golem to a student as a gift? Is that a guy worth a penny or two? Are you a guy who only needs one or two books of knowledge? Will it be made with a day or two of skill?
Absolutely not.
Ales looked at Edwin.
Edwin was even more surprised than Ales and was looking at Vinkis with wide eyes. Her lips were trembling and her eyes were watering as if she was about to cry.
“Looking at Edwin’s expression, you don’t think so?”
“Huh, that expression?”
Binkis sneered at Ales’ words.
“Where has the ‘logic’ and ‘guessing’ you were proud of Edwin just a moment ago gone, and are you suddenly talking about facial expressions? Mr. Aless, are you now able to read the inner thoughts of people’s faces?”
“Teacher Binkis! Anyway, how does it make sense to give a metal golem as a gift?”
“Don’t you know? “Are you saying something even more ridiculous than this?”
“A more ridiculous claim…?”
Binkis looked around the audience at Aless’s puzzled question. When everyone paid attention to her with that gesture, Vinkis smiled haughtily.
“I ask the opposite question. You all seem to think that Edwin stole my golem. How did he do it?”
“…That’s by sneaking into the lab.”
“Go in?”
“…her.”
All teachers knew the true meaning of Vinkiss. I also clearly knew the intention.
Teacher Binkis is trying to protect Edwin even if it means using force, and
it is impossible to break that logic now.
“My golem has several designed encryption and security features. No one can interfere with the design of the golem except me. From what you say, Teacher Ales, it seems like you know the value of metal golems, but would you have left such an item in the lab without any measures taken?”
“Well, wouldn’t it be possible if you have extensive knowledge about golems and metal magic?”
“I assure you.”
Vinkiss shifted his gaze. Ospreet was located at the end.
“Not one of the teachers here can crack the code I put on the golem. “It’s the same even if you’re the president.”
No one could comment on that.
Even if it is Osprey, it cannot be solved. I know the weight of that statement.
Ospreet, on the other hand, had no reaction. It seemed to either confirm Vinkis’ remarks or ignore them.
Binkis looked at Ales.
“I ask again. “Which seems more likely: me gifting a metal golem to a student, or a student unlocking the golem’s security device that no teacher here can unlock?”
“…Teacher Binkis, such unreasonableness….”
“It’s not me who is unreasonable.”
While those words were coming and going.
To Edwin, their conversation just seemed like background noise.
Guilt makes me cry and shame covers my eyes.
Teacher Binkis is protecting him. Himself who tricked her into stealing her golem.
Binkis was Edwin’s few ally, who was caught up in the perception of a fallen nobleman. Edwin betrayed her and she trusted him once again.
That fact alone made his whole body tremble.
Edwin lowered his head.
I was so miserable that I didn’t even know what face I was making, so I just looked at the floor.
Ospreet saw that.
Clutching his knees, his shoulders shaking and his head hanging.
‘…Behertio.’
Family Behertio thought it was already completely over.
The time when it was called a prestigious family was truly a time when the head of Behertio and Ospreet were at their peak together.
I thought we would slowly grow old together as time passed.
What was so urgent? What kind of greed and stubbornness tempted you to your downfall?
I thought it would wither so quickly that it would never rise again.
“──Teacher Malia.”
Ospreet, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.
“yes.”
“I heard that Edwin, a male student and a female student, went to the infirmary together at the site where the golem was destroyed.”
“That’s right.”
“Have you heard anything from them?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
Edwin’s eyes brightened. This is the story of Elin and Frontier. When he raised his head, he made eye contact with Malia, who was looking at him.
“Edwin, these are the words they convey to you.”
“Yes yes?”
“First of all, the frontier de Roach of the boys’ side said.”
Malia’s expression was softer than ever. Those eyes seemed to embrace Edwin warmly.
“I’m sorry for destroying the golem on my own. “Please tell me that.”
“…!”
Edwin listened to those words with his expression lost. Tears eventually flowed from the two eyes that were shaking endlessly.
“And this is what Elin says.”
Edwin didn’t even think about wiping his tears, and his dry face was wet with tears.
Looking at that, Malia smiled in a rare playful way.
“They said they didn’t know because they were sleeping.”
