Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 32

Chapter 9 Menosorpo (6)

There was silence in the audience at Frondier’s words.

Grobel did not keep his mouth shut on purpose.

There was confusion for a moment.

‘What should I answer?’

Rockbell must seem like a hostage to Frontier now. You wouldn’t think he was Grobel’s younger brother.

So, of course, Frontier demands Rockbell. For the safety of hostages.

The reason Frontier came here in the first place instead of trying to run away was because of Rockbell.

“I don’t know what you guys want. But you want that kid so much that you have to hold him hostage, right? So I came out here. Send the child to me.”

Grobel laughed at Frondier’s words.

It was a laugh mixed with bravado.

“Huh, I said it a while ago. Do you think the suggestion will work?”

“If it doesn’t work, I’ll just go back into this house. As you may have noticed, there is an exit underground. “Do whatever you want, whether you kill that child or not.”

“If he breaks away, does that mean it’s over for you too?”

“Well, no matter what happens, I will die later.”

Saying that, Frondier took a step back.

I really felt like going back into that burning house.

Grobel’s molars gained strength.

‘Why are you so proud?’

I thought I would be scared and tremble when I came out of the house.

But isn’t he actually making a deal with his confident posture and eyes?

Then Serph spoke.

“All right. “Let’s send the child.”

Grobel was surprised and turned his gaze to Serph.

If this kid is a stranger, it’s probably okay. But Rockbell is his younger brother.

To a human sloth like that?

Serph smiled at Grobel as if to reassure him.

Grobel was reluctant, but nodded and spoke to Frondier.

“good. “I’ll send it to you.”

“Send the child alone.”

“──Okay.”

Grobel tapped Rockbell on the back.

It was a sign to go.

Rockbell’s uneasy steps headed towards the frontier.

…At this time, Rockbell’s state of mind was almost panicky.

‘what? ‘Am I really going?’

In this situation, I am suddenly being pushed into the hands of my older brother without even understanding how the conversation is progressing.

It was scary enough for a boy of about ten years old.

‘They said all I had to do was cry!’

There is no need to act anymore. I really feel like crying.

With that look on his face, Rockbell approached Frontier step by step.

Frondier was looking at Rockbell with an indifferent expression. That scared Rockbell even more.

Soon, when Rockbell’s foot reached Frondier a stone’s throw away,

the sound of Tat Frondier stepping on the ground.

Frondier, with that indifferent expression, rushed towards Rockbell in an instant.

“Hi!”

Rockbell recoiled in surprise.

And

Taang!

He heard the sound of metal behind him.

“…uh?”

Rockbell looked behind him.

What fell was a broken arrow. Frondier ran towards Rockbell and blocked the arrow.

I don’t know how it was stopped. It didn’t matter to Rockbell how he did it.

The important thing is.

‘I shot myself with an arrow…’

Rockbell looked blankly at the mercenary group members on the other side. I saw Serf Daniel at the center.

Even though we only met for a short time, he always had a kind smile on his face.

Serf Daniel had that same smile on his face.

He was holding a bow.

“Uh…?”

Those are the only words that come out. I feel dizzy before my eyes. Fear presses heavily on my lungs.

In the meantime, Frondier, who had blocked the arrow, said as he held him in his arms.

“Hold on tight.”

At those words, Rockbell unconsciously grabbed Frondier’s sleeve with both hands.

Frondier rushed into the burning house, holding Rockbell.

* * *

“Serph, you crazy bastard!!”

Grobel grabbed Serph by the collar. I was so angry that my hands were shaking.

Serph fired a bow at Rockbell. He shot his younger brother with an arrow.

Serph spoke with a shameless expression even while being held by the collar.

“Tsk, I failed.”

“What kind of bastard is failure-!!”

Grobel exploded with anger and shouted.

But Grobel, who was about to plant his fist in the face, suddenly stopped.

“Put your hands down.”

“….”

Grobel wordlessly loosened his grip on Serph’s collar. His eyes were unfocused.

One of the mercenaries who saw this opened his mouth.

“What, what…”

“Everyone, shut up.”

But before he could finish speaking, Serph hung up.

In an instant, the focus of all mercenary members became blurred. Just like Grobel, they just stood there helpless and dazed, with their bodies relaxed.

This was Serph’s ability ‘mind control’.

When the conditions are met, Serph can manipulate the opponent to his will.

After handing out your business card to the other person, the other person must read the business card, check the name, and remember the name ‘Serf Daniel’ in their head.

Even if these conditions are met, it does not work well on people with strong mental strength, but for this mercenary group, it is no problem.

“Tsk. “It wasn’t a bad idea.”

Serph clicked his tongue.

Originally, I was planning on putting a kid named Rockbell in the cabin if I had the chance. It was a scenario like ‘Frondier locked the child in the house and burned him to death.’

The next scenario was ‘Frondier killed the kid by shooting him with an arrow’, but it didn’t work out as expected.

“Just like I heard from Frontier, you know how to use Aurors.”

Serph was sure.

Gregory had a report.

Gregory specializes in timing. He has been collecting information within Constell by training various animals.

However, Frontier was not in that information network to begin with. The discovery was by chance.

At that time, Serph was listening to Gregory’s report at his residence as usual.

The first was Elodie.

“When Elodie and Frontier were together, Frontier blocked all the broken glass. “I had bare hands at the time too.”

Gregory spoke, but Serph was doubtful.

“Just based on that alone, you decided that Frontiere uses Aurors?”

“That’s not all.”

Serph looked at Gregory, or the crow in front of him, with a look in his eyes telling him to continue speaking.

Gregory lowered his voice as if he was saying something big.

“Golem.”

“…!”

“Edwin’s golem that caused the loss of many of the Constel ‘Aktober’ members who were receiving aid from our Indus. It was Frontier who broke it. At the time, it was not an important issue and was ignored, but looking back and forth, it is clear that it was also Frontier’s doing. And even then”

“…you mean it was with bare hands.”

When such evidence is gathered, it becomes credible that Frontier uses Aurors.

But that incompetent Frontierer uses Aurors with his bare hands.

“How can the human sloth Frontier become an Auror?”

“He must have received divine powers. Sometimes that happens. A person who catches the eye of God for some reason, even if it happens later. Recently, I heard that Frontier is actively participating in class, right? “He must have received divine powers.”

…Is this really an auror you received with God’s help?

“If the opponent uses aurors, even if there are many, it is dangerous. It looks like you saved the Serf mercenary group, so try to put Frondier in a disadvantageous situation, even if only on purpose. Create as much evidence as possible that Frontier killed or kidnapped the child. “The killing comes after that.”

──If you listen to Gregory’s report and think about it, when you just stopped the arrow.

The frontier was bare.

I didn’t catch the arrow or hit it with my hand. The arrow clearly broke and fell in the air.

He is an Auror who received help from God. He’ll probably block arrows with a laugh.

“…evidence.”

Frondier ran back into the mansion. It must be true that there is a way out there.

If you crawl through a narrow escape hatch with a child, a mountain of evidence will be created without Serf doing anything.

It could be a picture of Frontier kidnapping a child.

Serph’s eyes turned to the burning house.

“good.”

Following Serph’s words, the entire mercenary group entered the house.

After putting away the embers and clearing away the smoke, we finally discovered that there was an underground room.

And the moment I went down to the basement and tried to search for an exit.

“…hmm.”

The corner of Serph’s eye twitched slightly.

Anyone can see that it is a way out. No, it was a way out. It had collapsed now.

The stone had collapsed from above, blocking it without a single gap.

After Frontier entered, the stomach collapsed from the inside.

Serph shouted.

“Go out and find it! An escape like this cannot be made long! “It wouldn’t have gone far!”

* * *

“Whoosh… whoosh….”

I was crawling towards the escape. With the child on your back.

The child was tied up using outer clothing to prevent it from falling.

After blocking the arrow, I took the child and ran into the basement, entered the escape hatch, and knocked down the entrance.

Before that, I placed the child under me, laid him face down, made a shield out of black cloth, and placed him on my back.

He then cut down the entrance with Gram and blocked the pouring stones with his shield.

This child fainted, perhaps due to the shock at that time.

…No, that’s not all.

Something was too big for a child’s heart to bear.

‘Serph…’

When I blocked the arrow that flew at the child, I made a shield out of weaving to block it.

Of course, my reaction speed was not that great.

Serph That bastard knew how to shoot an arrow. If a child is killed by an arrow in front of me, it will be much easier to make me the culprit.

‘Ugh, it hurts so bad.’

When I broke down the entrance, of course I wasn’t intact either.

The shield did not completely cover my body, and I felt intense pain in my head, arms, and legs from being hit by stones.

Even the part blocked by the shield was not without damage.

Thanks to this, every time I crawl, the area I touch feels throbbing and hot. I couldn’t tell if it was sweat or blood, flowing down my body.

The escape route was longer and narrower than expected.

…How long has it been like that?

As I was forced to crawl in an uncomfortable position, I felt anxious.

What if the enemy catches up with me like this?

What if you have a bomb? If we destroy this entire escape route.

Or, he may have found the exit of this escape first and is already waiting in front.

Heart beating fast. Rough breathing.

Drops of blood flow from scratches here and there. It’s mixed with sweat and I can’t tell what’s what.

But eventually,

“…it’s outside.”

The end of the escape route. Light leaks in from far away.

Even if there are enemies lurking ahead, that is the only way for me to go.

I gritted my teeth.

Holding the black lotus necklace in my hand, I looked for a suitable weapon in the workshop.

And when I reached for the exit.

Thump!

“?!”

My outstretched hand was caught. And a strong pulling force.

Damn it, the enemy has already arrived!

Just as I was trying to strengthen my hand holding the black lotus.

“Frondier!”

Suddenly, I fell into someone’s arms.

I was dumbfounded and my eyes turned white for a moment.

Just the scent.

I felt a familiar scent that I had smelled once.

This is from back then.

After defeating the Slav in the dungeon.

“…Saibel.”

It was the scent from when I walked with her on my back.

“Welcome.”

Cybel smiled at me.

Understanding does not follow.

“What about here?”

When I asked, Cybel looked back.

There was someone standing behind her and in front of me.

“…hi.”

There, Elodie de Inies Richae was looking at me with a somewhat complicated face.
