Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 457
Chapter 127 Choices and Decisions (5)
During the two weeks of work during vacation, everyone worked hard on their own maintenance.
The target is Charon, who has the divine power of Poseidon. The capital of Palma, where he is located.
‘No, it’s not actually Poseidon, but something impersonating it.’
In any case, that something is the key to the possibility of civil war in Palma, and if he is the devil, it is a time bomb that will lead to a war with God.
A civil war may break out just as Frontier heads toward the capital. No matter how much you prepare, it is not enough.
President Carla, who knew this, also came to Frontier’s house and had meetings whenever he had time.
“This is a map of the capital city of Palma.”
Carla brought a table and spread the map out on it.
“It takes about 5 hours by car from here. “It’s quite far.”
“If there was a straight line between here and the capital, would it still take about 5 hours by car?”
“yes. “It’s already close to that road.”
It’s quite far.
It’s not just a detour route due to mountains or valleys, it’s a 5 hour drive even though it’s straight.
This is simply physically distant.
‘At this distance, it’s quite slow for news from over there to reach here. If it’s a huge incident, you’ll see it on Wizard View, but you won’t even notice small signs.’
In the worst case, when news that a civil war may begin reaches here, the civil war may already be well underway in the capital.
“If I go, it will be difficult to get in touch with this place.”
“That means you can’t expect support.”
“There is no one to support you.”
Lily said from next to me. That was correct.
“Who will accompany you?”
Elodie asked Frondier. How many of these people are heading to the capital? It was an important issue. It was time for Frontier to demonstrate his power as a leader.
“First of all…”
Frondier raised his finger and was about to point out Elodie, but he immediately stopped when he felt a look in his eyes filled with tremendous determination.
When I shifted my gaze, Selena was there.
“….”
Selena kept her mouth shut and just looked at her eyes,
– Surely she wouldn’t leave it behind again, right?
was saying.
If I left it behind, I would either die or be killed.
“…First of all, Selena.”
“As expected. “I believed it.”
Do not lie.
Selena’s complexion changed completely and she smiled brightly. Frondier shook his head as if there was nothing he could do.
“But we will act separately.”
“…! “Why!”
“Because if I’m in danger, they’ll come straight to me.”
Selena with shadow transference. She can be by Frontier’s side at any time.
So, it is better to act separately from Frontier. Although it is possible to come at any time, it is not easy to go.
Selena said indignantly.
“Ugh, something is absurd.”
“Not at all. “What are you talking about?”
Frondier looked at Elodie this time.
“And Elodie. Basically, move freely. Since you never know what kind of situation might arise, I hope you can deal with it flexibly. “I’ll trust you with most things and leave it to you.”
“huh. okay.”
“Do you need a lineman?”
“I do not need.”
“good.”
The conversation is so simple that it seems empty. But that seemed to be enough.
“And Lili and Arald, please act like me. Our goal is to ultimately find the devil. “I’ll be strong with you two.”
“I can’t tell the difference between a devil and a human?”
“But it’s okay. “You know the devil’s way of thinking and knowledge much better than I do.”
The two nodded as if they understood.
Frontier looked at May.
“May, I’m sorry, but would you mind looking at the house this time?”
It’s dangerous to take May with you. It’s not that I’m worried about Mei, I’m worried about Mei after she saw the devil or God.
May will always come when you need her. But not now.
“You don’t have to be sorry.”
May said.
Then, the roles of everyone in it were decided.
However, people remained. Elodie asked.
“What about Ajax and Glaucus?”
“Of course I can’t take you. “Because it’s dangerous.”
It was an immediate answer. Those two are just students who will be taught at Demon Battle, and have nothing to do with this plan.
If you ask him to follow, it seems like he will follow, but he has no intention of doing so.
“What about Basileo?”
“I will take you, but I will place you in an extremely safe place. If he gets into a situation where he is in danger, he will stop all plans and leave. “Because the operation was a failure.”
“…He had great determination and said, ‘I don’t want to live alone.’ “You said it as if you and Basileo were going to fight.”
“That was just to see your resolve.”
Frondier shook his head resolutely.
“He won’t hurt you.”
“…Hmm, okay.”
Elodie nodded. For some reason, there was a lot of pressure on his lips.
Selena, who was listening next to her, asked.
“Well, what about Pielot?”
“….”
Frondier’s immediate answer stopped there.
That’s why Lili tilted her head.
“what’s the matter? Wasn’t Pielot decided from the beginning? “We were going to provide support to those in danger from the rear of Elodie and Frontier.”
“…right. “That’s right.”
Frondier nodded and agreed, but his voice and facial expression were not positive at all.
“Is there something you’re worried about? Did Selena notice something?”
Selena normally wouldn’t ask this question first. However, in Pielot, Selena asked first.
As if he noticed something.
Selena seemed to be choosing her words and then slowly opened her mouth.
“Pielot, I was training with Frontier until recently. “I just saw it by chance.”
Pielot’s training is different from that of the students of Demon Battle.
Frontier himself takes the initiative, and this is a training that literally puts Pielot into the real world.
Just yesterday, Selena headed to Frontier’s workshop to report on the meeting and plan preparations.
And she saw.
“Pielot, we defeated the prototype. “It was very fragmented.”
“…What is a prototype?”
Lili asked, and Frontier answered instead.
“You saw it then. When confronting the Zodiacs, the golems I created to block the other Zodiacs except Ludovic. That’s the prototype.”
“Oh, when you told me to kneel?”
“…Why do you remember it that way?”
“Why? “For me, that was the most powerful moment.”
Lili laughed bitterly. Then I opened my eyes.
“Wait a minute, Pielot knocked it down…”
Her expression quickly turned into astonishment, and Arald, who was listening, asked.
“Are you saying that Pielot’s power has surpassed Zodiac’s?”
“No, it’s not like that.”
Frontier shook his head there.
“First of all, the prototypes that confronted the Zodiacs outnumbered them. And since my goal in the first place was not to hurt the Zodiac, I just focused on wasting time. I even protected dangerous golems with black cloth. So simple comparison is difficult.”
But even so, Pielot’s defeat of the prototype is significant.
Selena said.
“You may be acting calm now, but the face Frontier showed at the time was one of shock itself.”
“…I was honestly surprised.”
Pielot’s growth is exceeding Frontier’s expectations.
Truly rapid and rapid growth. As if I had boarded such a train.
Lily asked.
“Then isn’t that a good thing? “If my skills improve, I will be able to be more active.”
“It would be nice if that happened, but it’s really difficult for people to be like this.”
Frontier gave an ambiguous expression.
Yes. That rapid growth itself is the reason for Frontier’s current concerns.
“First of all, Pielot himself doesn’t understand.”
“what?”
“How you cut down the prototype.”
“…huh? How did you cut it? “Isn’t it just a cut?”
“That doesn’t mean it didn’t work out. Originally.”
A battle between Pielot and Prototype.
Frontier was deliberately not speaking, but the possibility of Pielot hurting the prototype was zero.
Frontier knows the power of Pielot’s strikes so far.
A material called black cloth, and the composition of the prototype. When you think about all of that, Pielot’s sword can’t even cut down a stationary prototype.
Of course, I didn’t say those words to Pielot in order to make him more aware of the actual situation.
Pielot was cut down. It was completely shattered.
And from then on, I couldn’t cut it again.
“That guy has definitely caught the flow of growth right now. That’s for sure. That’s why it’s dangerous.”
“By now, I was wondering why I was able to cut, and why I can’t cut now, what has changed, is it coincidence or skill, and if it’s just a coincidence, can’t I repeat it? “Thoughts will keep going through my head.”
Selena said.
The agony just before taking a leap forward was probably felt by most people here. Pielot is standing at that point now.
But at least most of them climbed the stairs during that period as a training exercise under ‘safe conditions’. Generally, in such a situation, you don’t go to a more dangerous place.
“There’s no way I can move properly while my head is in such a mess. “It will be difficult to follow.”
“Then wouldn’t it be better to leave it out of the plan?”
Lily asked again. But as if the question was more difficult, Frondier nodded and tilted his head.
My head was tilted so much that my whole body tilted.
“The opportunity for growth that Pielot feels now does not come often. You probably know better than anyone else now. In that state, the human mind becomes simpler and clearer. Your whole mind and brain are working just to break through the wall. “Maybe this experience will be an opportunity to greatly increase Pielot’s growth,” “
Or, it could be a choice that puts him in a more dangerous situation?”
“Keueuung.”
Elodie’s joking tone deepened Frondier’s agony.
Elodie said.
“You said you would stop seeing Pielot as a student?”
“…It did.”
“You’re only one year older than us, but you’re being overprotective?”
“…It was about Basileo.”
“There’s no difference.”
“…right.”
Pielot’s skills are already beyond that of a professional. There is no doubt about it.
Frontier’s agony may make Pielot sad. You may still feel like you are not being trusted.
But, no, still, maybe, maybe.
“…Selena.”
After deep thought and much deliberation, Frontier finally made one choice.
“…Really?”
Selena immediately knew why she had been called. So I asked again.
Are you really going to make that choice?
Frondier nodded and said.
“Connect Pielot and your shadow.”
