Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 35 Chapter

10 The Empress’s Eyes (1)

General hospital near Constel.

Cybel and Elodie were anxiously awaiting the results of Frondier’s examination.

This was the hospital where Cybel was originally admitted.

This time the position was reversed.

──It was assumed that Serph was killed by Cybel.

Because it’s true anyway.

When making this decision, Seibel said,

“But we know the truth. Without Frontier, I couldn’t do anything. Frontier saved the child and saved us. “That needs to be recognized by people!”

It was emphasized like that. Her words were correct.

But Elodie shook her head.

“Even if everyone knows that Frontier did the right thing, there is no guarantee that Frontier’s image will improve.”

“why…?”

“…That’s what an image is.”

Will Frontier become a hero who saves the child? Or do you become a murderer who kills someone?

Elodie isn’t sure which way the pendulum will tilt.

However, we decided that the latter was more likely.

The reason is because of Serf’s popularity.

‘Serf had a good reputation within the empire before this incident. Moreover, ‘Indus’, where the serfs belong, has a high status among the commoners. On the other hand, Frondier has a very bad image, let alone a reputation, and he is of course a noble…’ To

put it in the extreme, one might think that Frondier killed Serph and covered up the incident.

That’s why I give credit to Cybel, not Frontier.

Cybel is well-liked in Constel and is a commoner, not a noble.

And if Elodie’s own testimony is added, there will be no problem in the case.

‘To be honest, I’m a little angry that what Frontiere did is being buried.’

Frontier.

You should get that much compensation.

When Elodie was thinking like that.

Squeak –

The door to the room I was waiting in opened and the doctor came out.

“Teacher Seo! How about this? “What’s the status?”

Cybel approached the doctor and asked urgently.

Elodie smiled bitterly when she saw those worried eyes.

‘That would be nice, Frontier.’

The doctor smiled at Cybel as if to reassure her.

“I feel fine. “The wound on his side healed well and he didn’t bleed as much as expected.”

The two were relieved by the doctor’s explanation.

But the doctor seemed to think about something for a moment and then looked at the two.

“What is your relationship with the two patients?”

“yes? “Oh, I’m a friend.”

“Isn’t your guardian here?”

The two nodded to the doctor’s question.

Actually, Elodie had contacted me. To Atzie, Frontier’s older brother.

After arriving at the hospital, she wondered which member of Frontier’s family she should contact.

Her father, Ampere’s older brother, Adgier, and her mother, Malia, are Constell’s health doctor.

The reason why Elodie eventually called Ajie was simple.

Teacher Malia doesn’t know the number and Ampere is very scared.

Even though I’m scared, I still talked to him.

As Elodie explained the situation, Atzie seemed to think for a moment.

-I leave it to you.

That’s what I said.

“yes?!”

Elodie asked back without thinking.

-If our family goes, there is a risk that rumors will grow unnecessarily. That’s not good for Frontier either.

He still answered simply.

If you think about it, that was right. Because all of Frontier’s families are very famous.

The doctor stroked his chin as if he was troubled.

“Hmm, I see. “I have something to say to the guardian.”

“Is Frontiere dangerous?”

“No, it’s not like that. “But I have something to tell you.”

“Then please tell me. “I will deliver it responsibly.”

Elodie said, and Cybel nodded eagerly next to her.

“…Well, I see. It’ll be okay. Then this way.”

So the three of them moved to the doctor’s examination room.

Cybel and Elodie sat on the chairs, very nervous. Despite saying it was okay, the doctor’s expression was quite serious.

The doctor spoke again.

“Don’t worry too much. There is no problem with the patient. But I want to caution you.”

“Caution?”

When Elodie asked, the doctor nodded and took out two photos.

“First, I took an X-ray because I had a deep wound on my side. As I said, the treatment went well. Fortunately, the knife doesn’t touch the bones or internal organs, so there won’t be any aftereffects. “There will be almost no scar.”

The doctor’s explanation eased Elodie and Cybel’s tension a little.

The doctor took out the next picture.

“And here is a picture of the mana distribution.”

“Mana distribution?”

“yes. It literally checks the target’s mana distribution. “You can check the remaining mana amount and where mana is concentrated.”

At those words, Elodie and Cybel looked at the photo.

And at the same time he tilted his head.

“I don’t know. “I can’t see any mana.”

The photo they were looking at only had a pure white silhouette of a person.

I know this is Frontier, but how do you look at the mana distribution?

“You saw it well.”

“yes?”

“The patient collapsed due to mana exhaustion. “When I got to the hospital, I had no mana.”

The two opened their mouths in surprise at the doctor’s words.

So there was just a silhouette in the photo.

Because it’s empty.

“Of course, fainting from mana exhaustion is common. As you both have probably experienced, people feel extreme fatigue when they run out of mana. In addition, the patient moved too hard and suffered bleeding before mana depletion occurred.”

They both nodded.

Since they are Constell’s students, they naturally know the feeling of running out of mana.

Fainting from exhaustion of mana is completely understandable.

“Then this is the next picture.”

The doctor took out a new photo.

Another photo of mana distribution.

But it is clearly different.

“…uh? There is a place that looks blue. Quite a lot.”

“yes. That’s mana. “This photo was taken an hour later.”

Hehe, Saibel exclaimed in admiration.

Even if you run out of mana, is it possible to recover it this quickly?

‘This quickly?’

However, unlike Cybel, Elodie is a pure wizard.

The speed seemed a little strange.

So Elodie asked cautiously.

“…Can I recover my mana this quickly after exhausting it?”

The doctor fixed my glasses.

“That’s why I have something to tell you.”

“what?”

“As Miss Elodie noticed, the patient recovers from mana exhaustion very quickly.”

Cybel, who was listening, blinked.

“So does that matter?”

Elodie wanted to ask that question too.

Although it felt strange that the speed was so fast, I didn’t think it was particularly bad.

said the doctor.

“Rather than a problem… it’s like my body got used to it. About draining mana.”

At those words, both of their expressions hardened.

Only then did the two realize. Why did the doctor want to say this to the guardian?

“I don’t know what the patient has been doing. However, mana exhaustion is not a common occurrence. You may often find yourself in extremely intense battles or similar situations. “Do you have any guesses?”

The two shook their heads in response to the doctor’s question.

Even though he was shaking his head, he looked devastated.

Mana exhaustion is not done intentionally.

Of course, depleting mana does not mean that it is particularly hard on the human body.

However, using magic or skills ultimately means that it is a combat situation.

Exhausting mana means that you literally gave your all in that battle.

So, in other words, being accustomed to mana depletion means repeating grueling battles frequently.

“…teacher.”

Elodie opened her mouth.

“If you are used to mana depletion, to what extent did you repeat it?”

“Hmm, I don’t know. “If the recovery speed is this fast.”

The doctor adjusted his glasses and looked at the picture again.

“──I think I’ve done it more than a hundred times.”

Elodie’s eyes trembled.

She felt an unknown emotion welling up in her body.

‘I didn’t know that?’

Even if that’s the case with Cybel.

Elodie has been watching Frontier for a long time.

There was a time when I called Frondier by a nickname that I didn’t even want to call it because it was so cringy.

If mana was depleted more than a hundred times, it would have happened even before entering Constel, unless mana was depleted every day.

It must have been a long time ago.

From then on, Frontier suffered from mana exhaustion?

‘What on earth have I been watching so far…!’

Eventually, the emotions welling up reached all the way to my head.

It was a feeling I never wanted to realize.

But I have no choice but to know. It was anger. Anger at yourself.

“Eh Elodie! Elodie!”

“…ah?”

When Cybel called Elodie’s name, Elodie barely came back to her senses.

The temperature in the room rose to its peak.

My divine power almost activated.

“I’m sorry!”

Elodie quickly apologized to the doctor.

The doctor seemed surprised, but laughed it off.

In fact, divine power without killing intent does not harm the opponent when activated.

In Elodie’s case, it gets hot, cold, or windy.

However, depending on the opponent, it may be seen as a threat.

The doctor spoke as if to comfort them.

“As I said, there is nothing special about the patient’s body right now. However, you must be advised to refrain from gathering in groups. “What if the patient repeats a truly dangerous situation?”

“…All right.”

The two answered somberly and walked out of the examination room.

“….”

“….”

After hearing the doctor’s explanation, the two became extremely depressed and sat side by side on the chair.

After thinking about it, Elodie spoke carefully.

“…You know.”

“…huh.”

“Frondier always says he sleeps during class. “I’m going to skip outdoor classes.”

“…huh.”

“That can’t be right….”

Elodie’s thoughts.

It was the same for Cybel.

It’s not that Frontier is lazy, it’s that he had no choice but to be.

Repeat the fight until you run out of mana, recover, fight again, and repeat.

There is no way a normal school life would be possible with a body like that.

Cybel raised her head and muttered like a sigh.

“When we went to the dungeon together, Frondier seemed to be good at traps.”

Cybel recalled the time when she was left alone with Frondier.

At that time, I had a bad opinion of Frondier, so I couldn’t make the right decision, but Frondier continued to protect her.

He disarmed many traps and protected her even if she fell into one.

Maybe that’s not why I learned the knowledge about traps.

If you have ‘experienced’ a trap.

Human sloth Frontier.

Constel is a lazy and incompetent man.

That part of the truth was so cold and bitter to both of them.

“Heungheung~ Heung~”

Ainen was walking down the street with a lively pace.

As a librarian, she likes to read books even on holidays, but today was her first time going out in a while.

Even an incongruous hum comes out.

“That guy from Frontier. “There are times when it is surprisingly helpful.”

Ainen picked up the Seiji phone and checked the text message again.

The contents are

[Congratulations! This is the full answer to ‘Miscellaneous knowledge needed for adventurers’!]

[You will receive a gift certificate to Terst Department Store!]

Surprisingly, you got the gift certificate by answering all the problems solved at the library correctly.

Of course, this is largely due to Frontier for solving the last problem.

Should I buy you a meal later?

“Hehehe.”

Ainen laughed like an immature child.

No matter how prestigious Constel is, it does not pay that much to its librarians.

She reads books voraciously, but she is always short of money, and as she lives alone, food and other living expenses are painful.

At Constel, they don’t say single, so they just say ‘housewife’.

Even if you live alone, a housewife is a housewife. Well then.

“First of all, let’s buy clothes first. We can’t miss out on cosmetics. Should we change shoes this time?”

I am walking while talking to myself with a melody.

This part showed that she is by no means young.

…and Ainen didn’t know.

There was a man watching her.

“…Yes, the target has arrived.”

A man who hides among crowds of people and makes quiet contact.

He spoke again after confirming that Ainen was entering the department store.

“The Einen float has entered the department store, Her Majesty the Empress.”
