Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 453
Chapter 127 Choice and Decision
Basileo saw a flame burning before his eyes.
“This is hellfire….”
“Of course, the method is a little different from what I made. Of course, the end result will be similar, but for most wizards, resolving the conflict between spells is almost intuitive. “I had a strong perception that as long as the results were good, the process was good, so I didn’t know the exact reason.”
To be precise, this is the tendency of a battle mage. The wizards for research purposes have slightly different tendencies. At least try to trace the cause of any result.
However, it was decided that the stopping technique was too basic and that most of the interpretation had already been completed.
Minor errors are scattered in many other places. Even if you knew there were questions, they were probably way down on the priority list.
“Hellfire is the highest level of flame magic, right? “So, did Basileo master the highest level of magic?”
“yes. “It was a success until it was implemented.”
Elodie nodded.
Basile looked blankly at his spark.
“Something looks really scary.”
“Don’t be scared of your magic. “Because magic usually doesn’t harm the caster.”
“It feels strange that the combination of techniques I already know can produce the highest level of magic.”
“There won’t be a big difference in the number of spells you and I know, right?”
When Elodie said that, Basileo was surprised.
“really?”
“To a wizard, a magic formula is like a mathematical symbol. “You need to know a lot of it, but just knowing it won’t do anything.”
That’s right, Basileo nodded as if he understood.
If you know the symbols and how to calculate them, you’re practically at the starting point.
When you run into a problem, what symbols to use, how to combine equations, and whether the calculations are fast and accurate. For wizards, the problems that come after that are more and more difficult.
“It is difficult to use this hellfire in actual combat right now. At this rate, it’s just a very hot flame. “If you want to hit the enemy, you have to land a bullet or shoot, and you have to do something with your mana, which is almost empty after one use.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Basileo nodded, and soon the flame went out.
“It’s really a huge amount of consumption. “I wonder if there is any other magic that uses this much mana.”
Frondier and Elodie made subtle expressions at Basileo’s words.
There are quite a few ways to use more mana. They both knew it well.
“Anyway, I won the bet, Elodie.”
“Okay, congratulations.”
Elodie shrugs her shoulders at Frondier’s words.
Basileo tilted his head at the sight of the two.
“I’ve been feeling it for a while now, but you two seem quite close.”
“oh.”
“It seemed like there was a confrontation in the teacher’s office with a very stiff and businesslike attitude.”
“uh.”
The two then realized their mistake and looked at each other.
Frondier scratched his head.
“Well, I was going to find out someday anyway. “Does it matter?”
“…What do you know?”
Basileo asked with a skeptical look.
In the teacher’s office, the two are blunt to each other and their values do not seem to match. But in reality, we are close enough to feel comfortable talking to each other.
In other words, these two are actually…!
“Are you a male couple?”
“no!”
Elodie immediately denied it.
“Then a married couple fraud group?”
“Why are you taking a turn for the worse! Neither a couple nor a fraud!”
Frontier next to me seemed to be thinking deeply about something and spoke.
“I think fraud is the right thing to say.”
“Don’t make things difficult!”
Basileo’s face became increasingly strange.
Frondier decided to stop joking because he felt that if he continued like this, he would get really weird thoughts.
“It’s quicker to just look at it.”
“Are you really going to take me away?”
“then. “It was decided from the beginning.”
Frondier nodded. Although it was an incomprehensible sound to Basileo.
Frontier said:
“Then Basile. “Let’s go to the next location.”
“Next location? Come to think of it, I did say ‘for now’. “Coming here.”
“You’re quick to notice.”
“Where is the next place?”
Frondier pointed at himself with his thumb.
“my house.”
Basileo opened his mouth. He blinked a few times, then for some reason turned his gaze to Elodie.
Elodie looked as if she was looking at him, and Basileo looked troubled.
“I don’t particularly want to disturb you two.”
“It’s not like that!!”
* * *
While the three of us were having that conversation.
In fact, there was someone watching them.
“…Basileo, that guy.”
It was Aias.
Of course, he was not near them, and he saw the scene from a distance away on his way back.
What magic does Ajax do?
It was a spark, but it was no ordinary thing. As a warrior, he did not know exactly what magic was, but it was not easy to estimate the size of its power.
In order to use strong magic, you must know the strong magic itself.
In other words, Basileo learned something.
“Those two people…”
But what Aias was worried about was not the power of magic, but the two people next to Basileo.
Frontier and Elodie.
Although they are famous for not getting along with each other, the two, who are said to be at the top in terms of ability right after taking office, were gathered together to watch Basileo.
It’s hard to hear the conversation because it’s far away, but there’s no doubt that Basileo performed magic in front of them.
“Has Basileo caught the eye of those two people…?”
I don’t know exactly what the situation is. But you can get a general idea even when looking at it from a distance.
Basileo receives some kind of expectation from the two. I don’t know if it was as a wizard or something else, but I guess it was as a wizard that he performed magic.
Frontier and Elodie are both wizards. At least that is the perception within the atlas.
So, it may be natural to pay attention to Basileo, the wizard at the top of the Atlas.
However.
─Why don’t you make a decision?
Aias has been struggling with that one question recently.
Decide to be a hero.
You haven’t made that decision yet.
I explored the meaning of those words. It was a question that never left my mind even during the final exam.
In fact, because he was so absorbed in that one thing, he became strangely quiet, and people around him began to notice the change in him.
He is changing faster than Aias feels himself changing.
‘The fact that Master Frontier called Basileo separately does that mean that Basileo made a decision?’
I felt a great sense of inferiority to Pielot and Glaucus.
And this time, even Basileo.
Even the beings he felt were his equals and rivals are ahead of him.
If
Frontier hadn’t asked that question before, Aias might have exploded here.
He may not have been able to resist the feeling of being pushed off the stage and threw something.
But for now, it was just,
“Decision…”
Ajax bit his lip.
He feels the weight.
The weight of being a hero.
When you realize that things won’t work out on their own.
When he knew he had to choose.
When he realized that whatever he chose, both failure and success were his responsibility.
“…You mean you did it? “Basileo.”
His gaze became distorted.
At first, when I heard Frontier, I thought it was a simple matter.
All you have to do is decide.
If you’ve been putting it off, just stop doing it and move on.
However, the reality is not like that.
If it is true that he was procrastinating, then there must be a reason for procrastinating.
“Something this heavy….”
If you take one step forward, your determination to walk from there on will change.
As soon as the thought that he could still step down because he did not choose came to mind, the thought itself was humiliating, and a
huge determination that made it impossible for him to just take a single step weighed down on him.
If it had been done on its own, it would never have been like this.
Being a hero doesn’t come naturally to anyone.
It is at the peak of unnaturalness.
“Basileo.”
Aias shook his head. When I closed my eyes and opened them again, the gaze was clear, but just as sad.
“See you later.”
Ajax turned away. He headed towards the path he had originally taken.
He hadn’t made his decision yet, but
he knew the weight and determination of a hero.
For Basileo, who did it first, the feeling he felt was different from an inferiority complex.
There was no longer any room to feel inferior.
“That’s amazing, Basileo. “You can choose that.”
I’m still angry, and the urgency hasn’t completely gone away.
Aias was able to walk away with a slightly relieved face.
* * *
“I don’t like it!”
Basileo answered immediately.
Then he turned around and walked away.
About one or three steps. He was caught by the black
sky
and struggled.
“Ahh! no, I do not want! I don’t! I want to go! “Let me go of this!!”
“So you gave me a chance. He also warned us that there was no going back after hearing everything we had to say. “You were the one who said you would listen to everything and follow you no matter what.”
Frondier looked at Basileo with a puzzled expression.
Where did that stubborn expression go before he heard the whole story? Basile now seemed to only want to leave this place.
And it did.
“I didn’t know it would be like this!”
“So what did you think it was going to be about?”
“At least! “I didn’t think it was about jumping into the middle of a war that might break out between God and the devil!”
“You should have made that level of determination. “It’s the path you chose.”
“Ugh! I didn’t choose it! “I didn’t choose this!!”
Struggling.
Basileo tried to free the body captured by the Black Sky, but it was an impossible task for a wizard’s body. Fortunately, he wasn’t restrained that hard, so he was struggling.
“Ugh, ugh. This is what happened…!”
Basileo’s eyes lit up.
“The shadow that will be engraved in my eyes is a flame of deep darkness, a light that will never cool down after the shadow.”
Pew!
Heukcheon hit his head.
“This bastard, are you trying to use what you just learned from me on me?”
“A wizard is one who uses everything he has learned at the right time!”
The truth was being pushed to a strange place.
Frondier was dumbfounded. What’s absurd is that if I had just left it alone, it would have been a complete hellfire. The structure of the technique took the correct steps.
“…You know, Pron.”
Elodie, who was watching from the side, said.
“Are you really going to take Basileo away? Anyway, isn’t it too dangerous? “Basileo is still a student.”
Elodie with a worried face.
Lily, who was next to him, raised her hand.
“I also agree with Elodie. We’re not going to the capital to have fun. “Do we really need to drag someone who doesn’t have the mindset to do it?”
There, Frondier raised his finger.
“First, let’s rebut Elodie.”
“huh?”
“We and Basileo are one year apart.”
“…Ah, um. huh? “Oh, I see.”
Elodie tilted her head with a look that said, “I guess that’s what I heard.”
“The mission I will give Basileo is no more dangerous than ours. “You and I have been through more dangerous things since first grade.”
“…that’s right. It did.”
“So, excluding someone from a mission because they are a student is discrimination!”
“that’s right! okay!”
“And if you don’t have to do something dangerous for that reason, it’s unfair to you and me in the past!”
“okay! “That’s right!”
I was persuaded.
“Teacher Elodie! “Come to your senses!”
Basileo shouted hard, but it did not reach Elodie’s ears.
“And a rebuttal to Lili.”
“huh?”
“This guy doesn’t have a bad mindset.”
“Is that so?”
Lily looked at Basileo.
“I’m not in the right frame of mind at all!”
cried Basileo.
Lili looked at Frondier again.
“…I heard it’s not done?”
“No, it’s not.”
Frondier shook his head resolutely.
“This guy is just scared.”
“…Well, no, you know?”
Lily became confused for a moment.
So, you’re scared, but you’re determined?
…That means,
“What is that?”
“That’s what I said!”
Basileo actively supported Lily.
Frondier said.
“I’ll show you the proof.”
“evidence?”
“Listen carefully, Basileo.”
Frondier looked at Basileo. For some reason, Basile had no intention of listening.
“It was said that it was a war between God and the devil. So you have reason to be scared.”
“that’s right! is it so! I was scared! “You’re a coward!”
“But you won’t have to fight them.”
Basileo, who had been struggling at Frondier’s words, stopped.
“We’re the only ones fighting those guys.”
“…What about me?”
“You will be placed in an extremely safe place. “I’m taking you there for the sake of your growth.”
Lily thought after hearing that conversation.
‘what. I’m just saying don’t worry because it’s safe. ‘I’m quite sure I believe that.’
Basileo rolled his eyes after hearing Frondier’s words. He seemed to be worried.
However.
“…that’s not possible.”
When Basileo looked back, his eyes changed.
“If I didn’t know at all, I wouldn’t have known. “We can’t just watch.”
“Are you going to fight too?”
“I don’t want to fight! “I don’t like it!”
Basileo lowered his head. He didn’t make a sound, but he muttered all kinds of curses with his mouth.
He spat it out between his molars.
“I don’t want to live alone.”
“….”
Frondier did not say anything, but instead looked at his colleagues around him.
The meaning of those eyes was clear.
