Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 47
Chapter 12 Traitor (1)
Aten quickly approached and checked Frondier’s condition.
It only takes a moment to feel embarrassed.
She calmed down in an instant.
Frondier appeared to have simply fainted.
However.
‘Pulse…’
I checked the pulse, but it was too light.
So much so that you won’t be able to feel the beat unless you really give it your all.
The same goes for breathing.
“I will check.”
A healer from the Imperial Knights approached.
The healer stretched out his hand and assessed the condition of Frondier’s body.
This is to check the inside of the body by penetrating mana.
“…This.”
The healer’s eyes widened in disbelief.
There was despair and fear in his eyes.
“How is your condition?”
“…Every part of the body is missing.”
“A defect?”
“Not only are the internal organs such as the heart, lungs, liver and stomach lacking, but also the bones, nerves and muscles are all lacking.”
It’s not enough.
Aten recalled what Renzo said.
– Indeed! Is it doping? I don’t know what he did, but I can’t trust Mana!
Doping.
Renzo said so.
It was definitely an incredible amount of mana otherwise.
I don’t know how they did it.
However, if the price is this state of the body, it is too harsh.
“Then what should I do?”
“….”
“Is recovery possible with healing magic?”
“….”
Even though Aten was asking, the healer just kept his mouth shut as if he was troubled.
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Aten’s expression turned cold.
She never panicked.
In times like these, things only get colder.
“…Aten. Healing is a means of recovering from wounds. But this person’s only wound is a bruise on his side. Of course, this is serious, but even if I recover from this wound…”
“Even if I recover?”
“…the damaged area will not be restored.”
At the healer’s words, Aten closed his eyes tightly.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw her mother, Fili.
“In that case, Mother, take Frontier to the hospital immediately.”
“…Aten.”
“Hurry up. “Surgery may be delayed.”
“Aten.”
“Come on-”
Fili grabbed Aten’s shoulder.
“This child cannot be moved now.”
“….”
“You heard that not only the internal organs but also the muscles, bones, and nerves are damaged. “You never know what might happen during the moving process.”
Now Frondier’s body is weaker than the child’s body.
The amount of defects is greater than that of a baby, and the volume is much larger than that of a child.
No matter how carefully you transport someone on a stretcher by car, their safety cannot be guaranteed.
“Even if the surgery goes well, you will have to live with a serious disability.”
After hearing Fili’s words, Aten looked at Frondier’s face.
It was the face I always saw.
Whenever I met him at Constel, he always chased after me.
It was that face, that shoulder, and that body.
“…Then what should I do?”
No one responded to Aten’s words.
“Aten, I’m sorry, but he…”
A knight approached Aten.
Aten looked at him with emotionless eyes.
“He did his best to save Aten. Since he saved the princess of the empire, there is no greater honor for him-”
Ouch!
After hearing the knight’s unrequited consolation, Aten slapped his cheek mercilessly.
Cold frost formed on his beaten cheek.
“Shut your mouth. “Frondier did not save the princess of the empire.”
“Ah, Aten.”
“It’s nothing like that.”
Glorious?
Because I’m the princess?
Frontier de Roach saved me because she was the princess?
it is not so.
If that were the case, Frontier wouldn’t have been able to treat me so comfortably.
Like so many other people, you must have groveled in front of me and treated me with disrespectful titles.
it is not so.
Frondier didn’t save the princess.
In his eyes, Aten or anyone else would have been the same person.
I just saved an ordinary person.
That was Frontier’s choice.
Aten got down on both knees.
I looked at Frontier with those pure white eyes.
“Aten?”
…The royal family is those who stand on top to protect the people.
What was the purpose of the numerous educations based on all that wealth and power?
Save it.
That’s what you do, Aten.
Aten’s magical power rose.
The surrounding temperature went down that much.
Aten is originally good at ice magic.
But beyond that.
Aten gradually became cold, as if even his exhaled breath was frozen.
“Ah Aten! “It’s dangerous!”
The knight’s voice stopping her.
I can’t hear it.
It’s as far away as a horse across the water.
Aten has reached a certain level now.
‘think.’
Find a way.
What should I do to save Frontier?
I’ve never learned anything like healing magic.
Healing doesn’t work in the first place.
You can’t get back what you lost.
‘…Unless it’s lost.’
Frontier increased mana.
Many parts of the body were lost in the recoil.
In other words, a lot of it was converted into mana.
What needs to be done is not to treat the wound.
Just as you changed your body into mana, this time you change mana into your body.
In other words, it is ‘reduction’.
I’ve never done anything like that, and I don’t know if it’s even possible.
For some reason, Aten had a feeling that that was possible.
Aten’s hands rose above Frondier.
Every time her hand moved, the air sparkled.
Particles of air were freezing.
That cold mana seeped into Frondier’s body.
‘…I see.’
Through that process, Aten understood Frondier’s physical condition.
At this very moment, he was able to perform a skill that only a healer could train for several years.
After checking inside, I was able to see for myself how dangerous Frontier was now.
It’s not dead.
It’s definitely alive.
However, that life was gradually dying out.
Lost internal muscles, blood and bones.
Everything has become too ‘small’ to sustain Frondier’s life.
‘Okay, if we spread the mana evenly like this…’
Aten slowly poured mana into the area where Frondier was missing.
The precision of mana manipulation, which was sprayed out almost like a thread, was astounding.
However.
‘…It’s impossible, Aten.’
Fili, who was watching this, swallowed a confused expression.
Even if Aten contains his mana with amazing manipulation power.
Even if Aten can truly return mana to the body.
In the end, knowledge gets in the way.
“…!”
Aten’s fingertips trembled.
It was just as Fili thought.
It succeeded in containing mana, but it stopped there.
Aten had an intuition that ‘reduction’ would be possible with his abilities.
But you can’t do what you don’t know.
“…Aten….”
Everyone was looking at Aten.
That cold face tinged with pain.
Blood flowing from his tightly bitten lower lip.
‘Find….’
Find a way.
You are a princess.
You’re a being that has to save people.
‘…no.’
That’s not it.
Are you still going to lie to me after coming this far?
Not as a princess.
Just as Frontier saved Aten Terst, not the princess.
I want to save Frontier.
I
am Aten Terst!
Frontier de Roach!
…uh?
Then she saw a scene.
A sight that only reaches her eyes, not reality.
Jerk.
Fili, who was watching, took a step forward.
I will stop Aten.
Later, Fili will tell Aten about his foresight.
Aten has a future where she can ‘give back’ someday.
Then you will definitely be hated by Aten.
Why didn’t you tell me in advance?
If that had been the case, Frontier could have been saved.
Aten, the purpose of her life, will curse her for a long time.
It’s okay though.
Hatred was something I decided on a long time ago.
“Aten, stop now-”
Fili was about to say that but stopped.
Aten was looking at the sky, not Frondier.
When I looked into Aten’s eyes because I was concerned about his strange behavior.
Fili knew.
What is Aten looking at now?
‘Aten, no way…!’
-I am a descendant of Bala
. -My mother said she was able to do it.
-I don’t want my daughters to have this ability.
Fili said to Frontier:
The reason she has precognitive abilities is because she is a descendant of the Valar.
Fili’s mother was also able to use that wisdom.
Then, your daughter, Aten, is also-!
‘…ah.’
Aten looked.
I didn’t feel the whole future like Philly did.
Bala’s blood becomes lighter as the generations go by.
All Aten can see now is herself.
There is only one future.
‘I see.’
I saw myself standing as a healer sometime in the future and
I saw that knowledge.
Aten poured out mana.
Aten’s cold mana is pouring down on Frontier.
Aten’s eyes were warmly looking at Frondier in the coldness of the air that froze and broke into light.
As if carefully waking him up from sleep.
Frontier Frontier.
wake up.
Frontier’s eyes trembled.
The eyes slowly opened and he saw Aten laughing as if he was crying.
“…Aten.”
“Mr. Frontier.”
“…Why are you laughing or crying?”
Seeing Frondier scolding her as usual, Aten smiled, a little uncharacteristically of her.
“I saw the future.”
“…Aten.”
Frondier sighs in response.
“From the moment I first met you until now.”
Conversation isn’t working.
* * *
Renzo’s intrusion put the entire district of Constel on alert.
As the scale and cause of the damage were being analyzed, all lectures were suspended.
But in fact, that was a superficial reason.
There was a more understandable reason why Constell stopped teaching.
“──There’s a rat here.”
Central conference room.
At the gathering of Constell’s teachers, Aless, the combat arts teacher, growled.
Even Jane, the teacher who always disagreed with Ales, remained silent.
Because I had the same thought.
Jane slowly opened her mouth in agreement with Ales.
“…Previously, while the 3rd year students were having a professional experience, a monster from outside invaded the place.”
The monster outside that Frontier warned Queenie about.
However, even though Quinier handled it well, there was damage.
Many teachers left Constel to honor the families of those who died and investigate the cause.
The same goes for President Ospreet.
“It just so happened that Renzo attacked at a time when many of the teachers had disappeared.”
“According to reports, Renzo suddenly appeared and attempted to kidnap Aten. “It’s as if it just popped out of nowhere.”
“…Transfer magic.”
Teacher Binkis, who was listening, made that decision and everyone nodded.
However, transfer magic is not as easy as it sounds.
Moreover, if you are trying to move not just goods but also living beings or even people.
“It was fortunate that the student coped well. A much more dire situation would have occurred.”
Jane said.
Health teacher Malia smiled bitterly.
“They handled it very well.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They don’t know that Frontier cut off Renzo’s arm.
They heard that something had changed.
During the practical training, a student named Frontier de Roach happened to discover Renzo.
Afterwards, he sneaked out and told Eden and others, and thwarted Renzo’s plan with a neat first response.
This plot was something they knew.
Frontier did not want his activities to be known.
Of course, the people present had no choice but to know.
However, he already knew Fili Aten Elin, and Eden had a soft-spoken personality, so he left the knights to Fili.
Since it is left to Fili, it is safe to say that there will be no chance of the information leaking out among the knights.
‘It seems like Frontier handled it too well.’
Malia thought.
I don’t know the details of how Renzo broke in, but he probably didn’t come in without thinking.
Even more so considering that there is a traitor inside.
At first glance, it doesn’t make sense that Renzo was caught by Frontier before he even started planning.
‘Could it be that Frontier is a traitor?… That’s a stupid idea.’
Malia’s head spun.
‘But if you tried to stop Renzo, the student would usually try to call the teacher.’
However, none of the teachers involved in this incident knows anything.
So why didn’t Frontier inform the teacher?
‘…Is that right?’
I don’t know how he found out, but Frontier guessed it too.
There are traitors among teachers.
