The Academy’s Weapon Replicator - Chapter 58

Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 58 Chapter

16 Attack (3)

If you go all the way to the west of the capital Cylester, you will come across a lush forest.

As you go inside, which is full of dense coniferous trees, you will see a huge tower standing alone against the cliff.

It is not easy to find this place unless you know the exact location.

This is because the trees and cliffs serve as natural barriers.

Since it is hidden by nature, it cannot be discovered even with magical power detection.

There is only one reason why I can discover this.

Just because I know.

Because I discovered it through countless repeated gameplays.

The road along the way was more uncomfortable than I thought.

Because I was walking along a narrow road that only Elysia went in and out.

I made my way through the trees along a narrow gap that was embarrassing to call a road.

“…There really is. Top.”

We faced Elysia’s residence.

A huge 8-story tower made of gray bricks.

It is a fairly tall building, but it is lower than a tree.

This is because the trees here in the world are generally too large.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“Let’s go in normally.”

“Wouldn’t they have prepared a defense against external intrusion?”

“It’s okay because Philly is here.”

Fili narrowed his eyes at my words.

Needless to say, they looked suspicious of my words.

“Will my daughter care about me now? “In fact, they would attack me as well.”

“…I would rather do that.”

“I beg your pardon?”

While having that conversation.

Surprisingly, or surprisingly to Philly.

Squeak –

The main door of the tower opened.

What came out from inside was Elysia.

Elysia said to Philly, whose expression hardened at the sight,

“Mom!”

Surprised that Fili discovered his hidden abode.

Happy to have come this far.

The joy of meeting one’s own mother unexpectedly.

He smiled brightly, depicting all of that with his facial expressions.

“How did you find out about this place?”

Elysia approached us without hesitation.

Completely unarmed without needing to look closely.

He came up to us completely defenseless, grabbed Fili’s hands and shook them.

The situation I am most concerned about.

Philly has a personality that doubts everything.

Fili clearly excludes any enemy, no matter who it is.

But what if you’re not sure if it’s your enemy?

What if she finds herself in a situation where she has to conclude that her daughter is her enemy amid unclear evidence?

…Even then, can Philly cast aside his doubts?

“Here, herbal tea.”

Elysia proudly guided me and Fili into her tower.

Elysia held out a teacup.

To Philly and to me.

He sat me down at the table, gave me some herbal tea, and sat down with me.

“….”

In a rare moment, Fili caught my eye.

But I have no more help to give.

Because I already said everything I wanted to say.

“So what brought you here?”

Elysia asked Fili.

“just. “I wondered what my daughter would do hiding in a place like this, even hiding it from her mother.”

Fili smiled and answered.

That expression was perfect.

“I come out sometimes when I’m tired from living in the imperial palace. “I think my mom will get scolded if she finds out.”

“Hmm.”

Fili looked around inside.

You might be pretending to look around and look for anything suspicious, but you probably won’t be able to find anything.

If that were the case, Elysia wouldn’t have invited us.

‘Anyway, Elysia is in an emergency as well.’

There is no way Elysia expected the two of us to come.

If that were the case, he would have run away from here in the first place and gone to the imperial palace.

Right now, Elysia is just improvising and acting.

In other words, this is actually a fight between me and Elysia.

Who will succeed in convincing Philly?

“You said Mr. Frontier.”

“yes.”

Elysia spoke to me.

“I have heard of the reputation of the Roach family, but it seems very awkward to me that a son of a son who is not Prince Ampere is with my mother.”

It was an easy-to-understand check.

This is a story about whether someone like you knows the topic and installs it.

but.

“I see.”

whatever.

I didn’t feel the need to answer why.

No matter how high the princess’s position is, is she as good as the empress?

Elysia frowned at my shameless answer.

Although it was only for a short time.

As expected from Fili’s daughter, she is good at managing her facial expressions.

Also, as Fili’s daughter, she is not as good as Fili.

“Mr. Elysia.”

“…’Seed’?”

Elysia asked back as if it was a title she had never heard before.

“Can I take a look at this tower?”

“….”

Elysia glared at me.

Maybe it’s because I’m being arrogant, or maybe I’m just skeptical about seeing the tower.

I don’t know which one, but either one is fine.

It is not possible to refuse this offer.

“…great. Feel free to look around. “Would you like me to guide you?”

“no. “Let’s take a look around by ourselves.”

I said that and pretended to look around the room.

Elysia is hiding something in this tower that should never be discovered.

Nevertheless, the reason it is so confident is because it is close to impossible for me to find it right now.

So there is one thing I have to do.

We have to make Elysia reveal what she was hiding on her own.

“…Can I go upstairs?”

“follow your heart.”

I didn’t find anything special and stepped onto the stairs leading upwards.

Ah, I feel like I can see it somehow.

Behind me, Elysia is smiling in remorse.

I don’t know if Elysia knows that I’m making a similar expression.

Constell was quiet.

Most classrooms were in the middle of morning classes, and the teachers’ voices could only be heard occasionally.

Just within it.

“…teacher.”

Suddenly, a female student raised her hand.

“What is it, Elodie?”

“sorry. “My head hurts so much…”

“What? “Go to the nurse’s office right away.”

“Thank you…”

The teacher sent Elodie away with a worried look.

Elodie is a model student who lacks both skill and character.

I don’t even think it’s a trick.

Elodie, who came out into the hallway like that, walked with a very normal gait for someone with a headache.

This

means that the first one to notice was Elodie.

‘…but it’s really faint.’

Something was wrong with Elodie’s mana detection.

From far away but from all around.

Something that can almost be attributed to a feeling of faint malice bristling towards Constel.

‘What Frontier said was true.’

Elodie heard about the ‘raid’ from Frondier one step ahead.

The contents were not at all believable.

If it were the old Elodie, I wouldn’t have believed it.

So, Elodie knows that Frontier has changed.

Elodie gave up her thoughts and went up the stairs.

Of course, it had nothing to do with the nurse’s office.

Crash.

As she opened the iron door on the rooftop, the cold morning wind swept her away.

Elodie stood on the edge of the rooftop and narrowed her eyes.

Even at this height, not even a shadow of a monster can be seen.

In other words, Elodie sensed malice from a distance that could not be seen.

‘If Frontier hadn’t told me.’

The monster must have attacked Constell before Elodie could react.

Then her power is halved.

-It’s okay because I trust you.

“…joy. “What you said was correct.”

Surely there was no need for her to believe Frondier’s words.

As Frondier told her the schedule, Elodie became more sensitive to the mood and eventually realized that Frondier was right.

Frontier really just believed in Elodie.

Her keen sense of mana.

“I feel like I was tricked somehow.”

Elodie de Inies Richae.

5th place in midterm exam.

For a woman who is said to have received the love of five gods, this achievement is somewhat ambiguous.

Of course, there were many people who expected it to come in first place.

However, this result is not because of her lack of strength.

“I’m glad I found out in advance.”

Elodie raised her magic power.

A light warm-up exercise to fend off an attack.

That alone made the air around her begin to tremble.

“Because you don’t have to control your strength.”

She is poor at controlling her strength. I haven’t done much.

None of her teachers at Constell taught her how to control her strength.

Rather, it was recommended to increase output. She was worried that her talent would fade.

Strength control can be done later, but it is unknown when the growth of maximum output will end.

Midterm exams are taken together with other students.

In other words, the reason her ranking is ambiguous during the actual exam is simple.

If you go all out, other students will get involved.

Soon, a faint wind of dust was seen from a very distant place.

A huge army of monsters whose number cannot be counted.

Elodie, who had strengthened her vision by injecting magical power, soon saw the scale.

Elodie smiled fearlessly at the sight of such a large-scale monster that would have caused an ordinary person to collapse due to lack of strength in their legs.

As soon as she found a monster within her maximum viewing distance, she deployed the technique.

Her school uniform fluttered, and her eyes and hair alternated between red and blue.

“I asked you to make it as flashy as possible.”

Elodie brought both hands forward and took aim.

…Actually, if you get the approximate distance right,

there’s not much point in aiming with this magic.

“I just do as I’m told.”

Elodie seemed like it was someone else’s business.

A storm of flames was unleashed on the army of monsters approaching from afar.

After Frondier went upstairs, Elysia spoke in a soft voice to Fili.

“I know what Mom is thinking.”

“….”

“You’re doubting me.”

Fili took a sip of tea without saying anything.

“Is that guy like that? “I’m the culprit?”

Elysia asked again, but Fili still remained silent.

But Elysia also knew that Philly would come out like this.

Philly’s style is to use silence and facial expressions to make the opponent make mistakes.

However, Elysia also knows another weakness of Fili.

Since she is my daughter, I have no choice but to know.

“Have you ever thought that Mom was strange?”

Philly doubts everything.

While he suspects that Elysia is the culprit,

he also suspects that she might not be the culprit.

That’s Philly.

The true power of Fili is revealed when given enough time.

Philly’s choice, made after careful consideration and long consideration, was always the right answer.

However, if time is tighter than expected, Philly may also make mistakes.

“Should we fight?”

Fili’s eyes faintly wavered at Elysia’s words.

“I am my mother’s daughter, Mom. “Why would I do that?”

A slight amount of strength went into Fili’s hand holding the teacup.

“I knew I would be suspected. But think about it calmly.”

Fili’s mouth trembled slightly.

A subtle movement that Fili’s daughter Elysiana could barely detect.

Elysia smiled in remorse.

“…Mom, the culprit is Saleh.”

“…!”

Fili’s eyes widened.

This time, it was a big change that everyone could recognize.

“That man is Saleh’s henchman. He is framing me to help Saleh.”

Fili was surprised by Elysia’s words.

It really was as he said.

“…Elysia.”

“huh?”

Fili finally spoke.

Seeing Fili’s face with the usual smile on her face,

Elysia realized with great fear that something was wrong.

“You crossed the line.”
