The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 411
Chapter 119 Kala (4)
Kala devours knowledge about the devil.
However, that knowledge is very basic. Carla doesn’t even know that.
Either he is a stranger on this continent, or he is a devil himself and does not know what is important to humans.
Arald pondered for a moment on his wife’s reasoning and then asked.
“What do you mean by your lack of knowledge about demons? Does it mean that it hasn’t been long since Carla came here?”
“yes. “Not only Kala, but also an educational institution called Atlas has a short history in this country.”
Atlas was created not long ago.
Under the leadership of President Carla, large-scale buildings were built and excellent facilities and teachers were gathered, making it the best educational institution in the country in a short period of time.
“Until the educational institution called Atlas appeared, there was no such thing as Carla.”
“Are you sure about that?”
“You look like that, right? Even if she isn’t Atlas, she has the kind of beauty that would make her famous right away. But no one knows what kind of person Carla was before she became the head of Atlas.”
At those words, Arald and Lily looked at each other.
Stranger or devil.
For those who fall into both categories, Kala’s situation is unusual.
said the wife.
“Kala has been quite quiet since setting up Atlas. I didn’t seek out knowledge about demons or travel around to meet nobles. He was just like an ordinary president. “Except for the looks.”
“In that case, Carla’s current behavior must be very strange to those around her.”
“yes. However, most people think that Kala is belatedly trying to care about her relationships with the nobles around her. Or maybe the benefit he experienced from his looks was so great that he changed his mind.”
“But I don’t know what the purpose is, but Carla seems too impatient right now.”
Everyone here still doesn’t know what Carla’s plan is. However, I felt that Carla was overexerting herself.
He approached the son of a famous nobleman. Of course, even if he didn’t do anything special, it’s enough to raise suspicion. Rumors had already spread that knowledge about demons was being gathered there.
“In fact, that impatience made us suspicious of Carla.”
At that time, Lili thought. If Carla is truly a demon, she may be in a very similar situation to Riri’s past.
In other words, the person who can best understand Kala here is Lili.
‘I understand that you established an organization called Atlas. Just as I became Zodiac and Arald founded a company called Hitchcock. If you really want to live a decent life in human society, you have to arm yourself with powerful lies. Humans look for hidden things, not things that are openly revealed. ‘Because there’s no need to look for it.’
Most of the empire’s demons remain hidden. That’s the natural flow. A demon that is perceived as a hostile entity by humans. If such a devil were to live among humans, he would naturally have no choice but to hide.
Although it is difficult to distinguish between humans and devils, we cannot think of revealing it openly.
In other words, Lili and Arald took advantage of the prejudice that demons would naturally hide and sought stability by exposing them. Agoris is a place more familiar with demons than the continent of Palind. Carla also reached a similar thought as Lili.
‘If Kala is truly evil, she will decide to build Atlas and live quietly there. As long as possible. That’s consistent with Carla’s behavior that your wife just described.’
The wife said Carla was usually quiet.
‘So, Carla’s behavior now and Carla’s originally calm behavior are not connected. ‘There are conflicting purposes.’
Kala, who had lived without any problems so far, suddenly began acting strangely and attracting people’s attention.
This is probably not the situation she wants. That was Lily’s thoughts.
“…things have changed.”
“huh?”
“Kala’s situation has changed. I don’t know what it was specifically, but something happened that made me have to change my original plan to keep quiet. To Carla.”
Lili calmly explains to Arald, who asks questions.
After hearing that, Arald asked his wife.
“Ma’am, was the reason you acted like that in the teacher’s office to fool Carla?”
“Yes, because I couldn’t trust Kala or anyone else in Atlas. More than anything, I didn’t want my family to find out that we were suspicious of Kala. “It would be difficult for someone like that to come directly into Atlas and become a polarizing mother who only focuses attention on her son.”
Well, that’s true.
The wife continued talking.
“Just before you all came to Atlas, the nobles were very concerned about Kala’s movements. Either politically or, well, a little bit risqué.”
“I guess you were in a somewhat sensitive state.”
“The ones who were really sensitive were some of the nobles who found out that Kala wanted demonic knowledge. So when I heard that a new teacher had been appointed to Atlas, I wondered if something was moving.”
Frontier and Elodie. The sudden appearance of the two. At first, the wife thought the two teachers were Kala’s henchmen.
But surprisingly, nothing special happened and things seemed quiet, but this time, the student who was said to be a transfer student got into a fight with her son.
“So I went directly to the teacher’s office. I’m sorry, student Pielot. “I was having doubts.”
“Oh, no… As a result, nothing happened.”
Pielot shook his head.
Meanwhile, Arald thought.
‘Then, was it a quest to find out the identity of the Mana, Pielot, that Frondier mentioned?’
Arald asked.
“Have your suspicions about us been resolved?”
I can’t talk about the mana that my wife showed in the teacher’s office. But from what the wife said, it seemed like she had let go of her doubts about Pielot.
“Yes, I didn’t really doubt it from the beginning. The reason the fight first started was because my son seemed to be causing trouble. “No matter what, we can’t induce something like that.”
However, Mrs. Achaia calmed down and calmed her expression.
“A newly appointed teacher at Atlas. “The man became even more suspicious.”
“…!”
This is the story of Frontier. Lili, Arald, and Pielot tried not to show their expressions.
“I’ll be honest. “I used magic, along with a bit of acting, in the teacher’s office.”
“…!”
This time I was actually surprised. It was because I didn’t know that my wife would tell the truth.
Lily asked.
“What kind of magic was it?”
“As you might have guessed, it’s a magic that finds out the age of the target. As you know, demons live much longer than humans. That’s why there are many cases where the face and age do not match. This is the simplest way to find out the devil. “It’s not exact, though.”
I didn’t expect it at all.
Lili and Arald didn’t show it, but they were confused.
The magic of finding out the age of an object does not exist on the Palind Continent.
Originally, the existence of demons was unfamiliar to the Palind Continent. Therefore, magic or technology to deal with demons was not developed. Rather, he was focused on dealing with powerful monsters.
But in Agoris, on the other hand, are they good at dealing with demons?
“But that man was the only one who noticed my magic.”
“…You mean the teacher?”
“yes. Just before I was about to confirm the identity of the Pielot student, I felt an unknown force being applied to me. “It was my first time feeling such fear and pressure.”
Mrs. Achaia shrank and shook her head, as if she was still trembling when she thought about it.
She said with narrow eyes.
“That force is clearly not human. It must be the devil.”
“….”
It was completely wrong, but it was difficult to deny it.
The lady said while looking at Arald and Lili.
“I’m sure it’s with Carla. Or maybe it’s really dark. If you have that much power. “You two, please be careful.”

Frondier proposed a large-scale mock sparring between grades in Atlas.
There was a very good excuse for this.
“Recently, there was an incident where two students were sparring, and the other student fainted, causing an uproar in the family.”
A sparring match between Pielot and Aias.
Frontier decided to use this situation until the end.
“The rumor spread, and now the family is receiving inquiries due to concerns about their children. “All the teachers here know.”
This was true. In fact, similar calls often come to the school office, and teachers like Frontier are more aware of the situation.
“That doesn’t stop students from sparring. “As long as you follow the exact rules.”
In fact, Aias and Pielot engaged in sparring within the proper rules. So the incident ended with Aias only fainting without any major injuries.
“So this is a mock sparring?”
Teacher Giotto asked. Frontier nodded.
He said, looking around at the other teachers.
“If you can’t get rid of it, just show it. “How the sparring actually goes, if anyone gets hurt, to what extent, and how the students can overcome it.”
There is only one reason why families worry about their children.
Because I’ve never seen it.
I don’t know how the sparring progresses, so my imagination of ‘what if something goes wrong’ keeps growing.
The imagination should not be excessive.
‘Well, the reason may be this on the surface, but in reality, something else will bloom within the families.’
This is, after all, the reason for hosting.
However, this hosting is in line with Atlas and the family.
‘A golden opportunity for our family’s child to demonstrate his skills in front of many families.’
The families will catch on to this, and Frontier knows that this plan is possible because of it.
‘Even if we do it on a large scale, sparring itself won’t be that much fun. It’s not like using an actual sword, and there will be significant restrictions on magic.’
Since the ostensible reason is to put parents at ease, the sparring will be held quite safely.
However, for Frontier, it doesn’t matter whether this event is fun or not.
‘But this event will definitely bring a lot of nobles together. I guess I can’t help but come out.’
color.
The plan is to forcibly drag her out, even though she is the head of Atlas, she doesn’t even have a nose in sight.
“Mr. Frontier, the plan is good, but how do you plan to proceed? “If all students sparred 1:1, it would take an enormous amount of time.”
“of course. So, we will select a class representative. It is up to each class to decide on a representative. “It’s okay to do whatever you want, whether it’s having their own sparring session or voting.”
This time a different teacher asked.
“What about the gap between grades? Do you give a penalty to third graders?”
Third graders learned significantly more than first graders. Of course, 3rd grade is more advantageous.
To this, Frondier said:
“There is no penalty. “Sparring must be fair.”
“Then…”
“Of course, third year students would have an advantage. But since everyone knows that, it won’t be that much of a problem.”
This event does not have great rewards or glory.
If there is a benefit, it is an opportunity to be noticed by many families. If you are a truly motivated student, you would rather fight with a third year student.
And above all.
“In events like this, aren’t surprises always important?”
Frontier knows Pielot’s thirst. The current Pielot has no rivals in the same grade.
There is nothing to hide.
If there is no one among the underclassmen who can stand up to Pielot, that’s fine. If not, it’s even better.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
Frondier was truly hoping that an arrogant underclassman would show up to trample on his student.
