Academy’s Weapon Replicator Episode 95
Chapter 27 Fake Threat
Mangot wants Frondier’s ‘ancient language interpretation ability’.
In other words, if Frondier interprets the ancient language and does not convey the contents to Mangot, it is of no value to Frondier.
If Frontier is trying to hide the contents of the ancient language, use threats to find out the contents.
This was the guideline given to Selena, and it was also the guideline given to Hagley before.
Show the difference in power. Correct Frontier’s arrogant illusion that he is superior. When that time comes, put aside all respect and low-key attitude toward Frontier.
‘…I want this man…’
Selena swallowed. The one who was threatening was Selena, but the one who was afraid was also Selena.
Before I knew about Frontier, I thought it was an easy guide. From what I know, Frontier was literally a wreck.
Rather, I hoped that day would come quickly. I hope the day will come when I can throw away the annoying honorifics and pretentiousness and threaten Frondier.
But now.
Selena felt cold sweat running down her back.
‘Will threats work on this man?’
The situation is overwhelmingly in Selena’s favor as the tip of the needle touches Frondier’s neck.
However, Frondier’s languid and indifferent eyes made it impossible to feel that superiority at all.
“Selena, get the needles away.”
“I wouldn’t be in a position to say something like that. “What is the situation now?”
“You are the one who does not know what the situation is.”
It was then. Selena felt Frontier’s mana manifest. There was no change in his appearance, but it was clear that he was trying to do something.
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but just stop.”
“It would be quicker to stick that needle than to talk.”
“….”
Selena bit her lip. As expected, clumsy threats do not work on this man.
The reason Selena preferred needles was not only because they suited her skills, but also because they were more effective than swords or magic when threatening.
The easier a threat is to imagine, the better it works.
Just as it is easier to imagine the pain of a knife piercing the heart than of a gun being pierced through the head.
It is easier to imagine the pain of a needle digging under a fingernail than a knife piercing the heart.
‘I can’t kill this man.’
However, a threat that does not work is not a threat. An ordinary person would tremble at this situation and blow up all the information they have, but Frontier knows his own value.
To make Frondier open his mouth even through threats and torture means, on the other hand, you should not kill him.
The reason Frontier’s life is now at stake is because of a surprise attack.
In order to torture him, he must first be restrained, but Selena did not have the confidence to fight head on and restrain Frondier.
‘But…’
Still, you have to do it. Just as Frondier who does not open his mouth is worthless, she who does not allow Frondier to open his mouth is also worthless.
We don’t know how long this standoff will last, but from here on out, it’s a battle of patience.
But.
“…Good Selena.”
“What is good? “I will never”
“I will tell you. “What was written?”
Frondier said something strange.
“I know that my life is a waste, and I feel like I could really die if I keep going like this.”
Frondier said that and raised both hands as if he were truly surrendering.
Selena closed her mouth with a stern expression. Is it really true? If you look at it, isn’t the content of ancient languages really that big of a deal? Then why did you hide it in the first place?
While Selena’s mind was filled with questions, Frondier opened his mouth.
“It was written like this in the ancient language…”
Selena waited in silence for Frondier’s next words.
“Selena that’s your name.”
“…?”
“This is the name your parents gave you.”
Selena didn’t know what she was talking about at first.
But soon she realized what it meant and her eyes lit up.
“How dare you say outrageous words…!”
“Does it sound like that? When your parents were alive, they raised you without any shortcomings. It was natural. “Because he was a nobleman.”
Selena grabbed Frondier by the collar. I put my weight on it and knocked it over to the left.
I don’t know why Frondier didn’t resist, but Selena got on top of Frondier and looked at him with murderous eyes.
Frontier’s eyes were still calm, as if nothing was special.
“If you don’t shut up right now…!”
“Selena, your parents were nobles. The family name is ‘Barnier’. Since it was in the West, it must have had a ‘de’ attached to it. Your name is ‘Selena de Vanier’. “Do you remember anything about this name?”
dog sound.
But I dismissed it like that. I definitely said that in my head.
Selena’s hands were shaking.
Vanier.
It was like that when Frontier first gave her the name ‘Selena’. I felt a strange sense of déjà vu. The pronunciation of Selena was light, but it had a resonance that could not be overlooked.
And this time too.
Selena de Vanier.
It’s too much to just dismiss as bullshit. It’s not her intuition, it’s a huge feeling of discomfort that feels like her soul is crying out.
“…That’s it.”
Frondier said, ignoring Selena’s confusion.
“This is a sentence that I interpreted from an ancient language.”
“…!”
Selena knew what Frontier meant. Of course, this is not a sentence interpreted from an ancient language. None of that mattered to Selena anymore.
“If in doubt, go to Mangot and tell them this. Is it true or not?”
* * *
Selena’s fighting skills were truly amazing.
I fell in the blink of an eye. I had no intention of resisting, but it wouldn’t have made any difference if I tried.
But after I said that, Selena froze. Just repeating rough breathing and trembling.
Sigh –
I lightly pushed Selena, who was sitting on top of me and shaking. If I didn’t do that, I felt like I would just be shaking like that forever.
While I stood up, dusted myself off, and straightened my clothes, Selena sat down like that, rolling her pupils back and forth.
It seems like he’s using his head hard for other things, but that doesn’t mean his lost memories will be revealed.
‘But when I see him doing that, it’s not a memory that has completely disappeared from my mind.’
Everything I said is true. Because I saw it as ‘analysis’. As I had guessed before, a lot of mana was needed. It was fortunate that I had amplified my mana with Dragon Heart.
Rather, I had something to hide. Selena’s last line as seen through analysis. That’s all I didn’t say.
─Selena’s father was murdered by ‘Mangot’.
That one line.
I couldn’t say this much. Rather, it was obvious that I would lose trust. Besides, I don’t know what Selena will do when she hears about this.
I climbed onto Cassian and saw Selena still sitting down.
“Get in. A lot of time has passed. “I cannot ignore the fact that you held a weapon to my neck and threatened me, but this is not the place to punish you.”
“…yes.”
Selena nodded obediently and got on my back.
Cassian ran through the forest again and I got lost in my thoughts.
What to do with Selena was a matter of later. Now something more serious filled my mind.
─For the giant who will bring down the gods.
I recalled the ancient language sentence that Merlin had shown me.
In the world of Etius, ‘giants’ are ancient beings.
Like the ‘Titans’ of Greek mythology and the ‘Jotuns’ of Norse mythology.
Just because a giant is a person, it does not necessarily mean that they have a large body. In fact, it should be said that ‘size’ had no meaning to beings of ancient times.
…The problem is that giants are, to put it simply, the archenemies of God, who threatened God’s place.
However, this is the sentence that King Arthur gave to Merlin.
‘…perhaps.’
Maybe I’m wrong about something about this world.
Najiman was delving into the game Etius like crazy.
I may have misunderstood something from the beginning.
* * *
The troops on the wall were experiencing hell.
I thought I was rolling through hell until now, but I wasn’t.
Now, without Frontier, they were literally struggling in the jaws of hell.
“Aaaah!!!”
While I was distracted by the monsters around me, at some point, my colleague next to me was snatched up and floated into the sky.
Something resembling a pterosaur grabbed the soldier’s shoulder with its claws and flew high into the sky.
The soldier was thrown from a high altitude by a monster and fell cruelly, and those who remained listened to the screams of the falling soldier for a long time.
“Damn it…”
Sanders cursed as he looked at the battlefield that had become chaos. Still, we checked the barriers from time to time.
…The wall hasn’t collapsed yet.
“Sanders! Watch the front! “If the barrier explodes, you’ll know even if you don’t like it!”
“Yes yes!”
Ridwi urged Sanders.
The head of the family, Lidwi, decided that it was time to retreat and went into battle on his own.
He held up a long staff and every time he swung it, lightning passed and split the left and right sides of the monsters.
Its destructive power was considerable, but it was not enough to withstand the number of monsters flocking towards it.
Above all, among the monsters outside, there were some that could withstand even that lightning.
“Hehehe… This makes me feel old too…”
Ridwi wiped away what was dripping from the corner of his mouth. I thought it was saliva, but when I looked at it, I saw it was blood. I didn’t think I was overdoing it, but my body was honest.
Coooooo!
There was an earthquake on the wall. Lidwi, who was standing above, tilted and swayed.
A huge monster was pounding in front of the barrier. Ogre. The huge thing was smashing its head into the wall. A tendon appeared on Lidwi’s forehead.
“You stupid bastard of all time….”
Ridwi’s hand moved to the staff. Sparks flowed from Reed’s eyes and fingertips.
Gurgling! The lightning followed a violent path and pierced the ogre’s head. Unfortunately, the body slowly tilted towards the barrier.
“Oh no.”
The ogre’s body was pushed through the loose barrier. The already cracked barrier cracked.
Soon, it was about to completely break apart.
Ice magic type 3:
Immediate range amplification granted.
Glacial fog
made a crackling sound and the ogre froze. Even the walls that were about to collapse were all held together as one body.
“It’s better. “The walls have become thicker.”
The main character was Aten.
Lidwi checked it and chuckled. ‘The little princess is bluffing…’ she muttered, but it was a very quiet sound.
“Sigh… Sigh….”
Meanwhile, behind the barrier, Cybel gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Her eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot, and her beautiful face was a mess with sweat and blood-soaked hair sticking to it.
“…Mr. Saibel.”
“iced coffee. are you okay. Very okay. There’s nothing wrong at all. So, can you please stop calling me? “It’s hard to answer.”
Saibel responded calmly to Aten’s worried tone.
Aten builds a barrier and Cybel infuses it with mana.
Originally, the purpose was to take turns replenishing mana after building the wall, but that is no longer the case.
Part of the barrier had already been breached, and Aten covered the entire empty space with ice.
I can no longer count the number of times the monsters broke through that ice wall.
Since Aten had to build the ice wall again every time that happened, it was up to Cybel to grant mana.
Since he didn’t know when the wall would collapse, Aten couldn’t waste his magical power carelessly.
‘Sibel is already at its limit.’
Cybel has not reached his limit, but has already surpassed it.
Aten was amazed that she, who was not a wizard to begin with, had survived this far.
“Frondier… If you come, really… “You’re dead…”
Saibel recited with a look on her face as if she were going to die first. Those eyes were still burning brightly.
Aten asked.
“Do you still believe it, Mr. Cybel?”
“…Huh…?”
“Do you still believe that Mr. Frontier will come?”
At Aten’s question, Cybel seemed to take a moment to catch her breath.
And he answered as if he was asking something like that.
“Of course. You too.”
