The Academy’s Weapon Replicator Chapter 202

Chapter 67:

A time when there was turmoil and tension in Constel due to rumors of Trinity Frontier.

“…Well, it was something I had to do someday.”

Aten made a promise for no reason and called from his mansion.

The call connection tone lasted less than 3 seconds.

-Aten~! Why did you call me first?

It was her mother, Empress Fili, who received it.

When he heard Fili’s voice full of joy, Aten felt a little sorry. Sometimes I should call first. No, but since Philly calls so often, it doesn’t really have any meaning

– right? hello?

“Oh yeah. mom. I guess the connection was weird for a moment. I get along well?”

-then. I’m doing well. Nothing much happened at the imperial palace. However…

Fili paused before speaking. It was a rare thing for her.

And soon a voice mixed with empty laughter was heard again.

-no. I’ll talk to you later.

“What is that way of speaking? “I’m very angry.”

-Ahaha. You’ll find out soon anyway. So what’s going on? There’s no way my daughter just called.

Umm. Aten was dissatisfied with Fili hiding his words, but had no choice but to change the topic. Because once Philly makes a decision, he never changes it. Just like now, he smiles brightly but doesn’t answer.

“…It’s just not that big of a deal.”

Aten told Fili what happened at Terst Department Store.

The terrorist act of a man named Jacob, the wounds presumed to be traces of his strange mana flow injection, and the possibility that the mana injection is returning to the group system rather than to the individual.

And from Constell to the unidentified recommendation delivered by Jane, the homeroom teacher.

-Hmm.

Philly’s impressions were brief. This doesn’t mean that Fili is indifferent to the issue, but that this is usually her reaction.

“I’m just saying something like this happened. “Something like a recent talk.”

Aten said that on purpose because he didn’t think this matter had much to do with the imperial palace.

In any case, it is just a conversation between mother and daughter and is not addressed to ‘Empress Fili’. Of course, my true intention was to ask you to know about this incident, but I couldn’t say that.

-Terst Department Store is where the terrorists were?

“huh. “In front of the cafe.”

-oh. That’s quite a coincidence.

Is it elaborate?

Aten was puzzled by Fili’s choice of words. The doubts were compounded when Philly asked someone on the other end of the phone, ‘Isn’t that true?’

-No, we are still investigating that matter here.

“inspection? “In the imperial palace?”

Are you saying this incident wasn’t just about Constel?

-It seems like the mana injection you mentioned doesn’t discriminate against people.

“What does that mean?”

-They say that whether a weak person or a strong person has a lot of mana or not from the beginning, it will definitely be effective?

Of course, the disadvantage is that it cannot be hidden and leaks, but Philly added.

Aten’s expression became cold.

Until now, it was believed that the subjects of mana injection were limited to those with weak mana from the beginning. Those with sufficient skills will not be effective.

But in reality, it’s just the weak people who want it, and it’s an injection that doesn’t discriminate against anyone.

Anyone who wants to can obtain even more amplified mana by taking an injection.

“…What are the side effects of that?”

-Nothing special yet. You saw it yourself too, right? Bloodshot eyes, rough breathing, excitement and tension, uncontrolled aura leaking every time you speak, etc. Everyone has similar symptoms, but that’s it. So far, no one has died because of it. Just

“just?”

-It looks like I have to live like that for the rest of my life.

Aten thought about those words for a moment. The symptoms Fili just mentioned would certainly be strange if the average person continued to experience them, but if it wasn’t life-threatening, there would be quite a few people who would want to gain mana that way. The desire of people to become strong on this continent is enormous.

-In fact, if there are no casualties, the police don’t step in. The same goes for the imperial palace. But there are two reasons why we started investigating this time.

“What?”

-First of all, getting an injection is in the realm of medicine. Not magic. I don’t know the principle of the technology for storing mana in liquid, but putting someone else’s mana into it is not that simple. In order to use the ignorant method of injection without side effects, precise processing of the solution is required from the beginning. There are no side effects at the moment, but that is just a story for now.

“…!”

Aten guessed what Fili was trying to say.

“…How many people would have died before that?”

-okay. It’s not a place that operates normally. I don’t know what steps were taken to eliminate the side effects. It would be nice to say that no one was hurt in the process, but I think the chances of that happening are very low.

Aten’s thoughts are the same.

It is a drug that was originally injected into terrorists. There is no way it is a complete group.

-And the second.

“What’s the second one?”

-Once someone gets an injection, what do you think they will do afterward?

“…Well, wouldn’t I be able to do the things I couldn’t do when I was weak?”

-A person from Aten. What you couldn’t do when you were weak, but become able to do it when you become strong. What do you think there is?

At those words, Aten was about to respond but closed his mouth.

Fili knew what he was talking about.

Even when I think about it just now, I don’t have such a good idea.

-And what if that power isn’t enough? What if you feel inadequate?

“…Then again, drugs….”

That’s right.

There is no guarantee that a person who has received an injection once will not receive another injection.

But will there really be any side effects from the second injection?

-We still don’t know what effect the second injection will have on the human body. It may actually cause side effects serious enough to lead to death, or the symptoms mentioned above may disappear. The problem is that you don’t know.

Aten listened to Fili’s words for a moment and then made a sound.

Something suddenly occurred to me.

There are rumors going around recently about Frontier.

“…mom. “There have been rumors going around about Frontiere recently.”

-She’s always a rumor.

That’s true though.

“There are rumors that he may have received a mana injection.”

This time Fili stopped talking. Aten continued speaking.

“Could it be that their purpose is to appeal to the idea that symptoms will disappear if you get the injection more than twice? Frontier is that kind of person. “Frondier’s mana has increased to the point where it’s not even possible with just one injection.”

-…Whatever the intention, it’s good to use it as an excuse to keep getting injections.

Fili muttered.

Then he suddenly spoke in a strange voice.

-So, what you’re saying is that other students who saw Frondier’s rapid growth fail to acknowledge his desperate efforts and the courage he had in overcoming danger and hardship, and believe that he became strong by committing expedient or criminal acts? Frontier is just a lazy person who has never put in any effort?

“…I didn’t say that.”

It’s not wrong.

But why bother saying that again?

“Oh no way.”

-Okay then, Aten. I will think about that agenda too. Please be careful while staying at Constel. I don’t think he’ll touch you, but you’d better be careful. There are always things you don’t know about the topic.

“Mom, wait a minute. “You just said such a strange thing.”

-Well then, hello Aten.

Fili hung up without giving Aten a chance to speak.

Aten quietly looked at the phone where the call ended.

“no way. “I thought there was someone next to me.”

Fili’s playful smile is clearly visible.

* * *

Imperial Palace Fili’s personal office.

“ha. Aten too. “You can’t kidnap a man by just blindly helping him.”

Well, I guess I don’t even think about doing that. Fili looked at his phone and muttered regretfully.

“By the way, did you hear the story?”

He then spoke to the man who was standing quietly in front of him while he was on the phone.

The man secretly let out a small sigh and said.

“You said it so I could hear it.”

Black hair and well-trained body. A sharp face reminiscent of a forged sword.

Agier de Roach was there.

“Eavesdropping on the Empress’s phone calls is a serious crime. “Azzie.”

“…I tried to leave.”

It was Philly himself who dissuaded him.

Fili smiled brightly as if he was happy.

“So how do you feel? “I think my younger brother is still surrounded by bad rumors in Constel.”

I knew you would ask that.

Ajie lowered his eyes.

“Students love rumors. They are always looking for gossip, exaggerating and distorting it to spice up the conversation even if it is not particularly sincere. That’s all. Frontier won’t mind either. “I can’t let something that isn’t true shake my brother.”

At Jie’s words, Fili’s eyes cooled as if he was not amused. It felt like he was going to say something like this. That’s why azizi. In some ways, I can’t shake this man’s feelings.

“──But.”

But after that, Atjie said:

“If there is someone who cannot enjoy rumors as just rumors and truly believes them. “If there is someone who looks down on what Frontier has done so far and seeks self-satisfaction by being captivated by unreliable information that is just floating around.”

Sunlight peeked through the slanting clouds through the windows of the imperial palace. The sunlight that penetrated rested on Ajie’s hair, eyes, chin, and shoulders.

“I should be ashamed that I graduated from Constell.”

Fili blinked and looked at Ajie. Soon a smile appeared in his eyes.

“That’s strict.”

“Positions and qualifications are created by people. “Constel should do the same.”

“Mr. Ajie, you really like talking about qualifications and responsibilities.”

Ajie did not reply to that.

Qualifications and Responsibilities. Of course, I don’t have a preference for such words. I just think it should be that way.

“Will the Empress be okay?”

“What?”

“….”

Ajie held back from saying something. To say any more than this would be to go too far.

However, since Fili has a good sense of humor, he can communicate even if he hides his words.

“Are you talking about my husband? “Why don’t you tell your daughter?”

“….”

Fili’s husband. Bartello Terst.

The current emperor of the empire.

He is simply not well at the moment. Although you are not sick, it will probably be difficult for your body to recover.

The cause is not serious. It’s just that my strength is running out and I’m getting old.

“are you okay. “I will have to say something when the time is right, but that is not today.”

“….”

“Aten only knows the emperor’s face, but does not remember his father’s face.”

Aten rarely saw Bartello’s face. When he was very young, he appeared briefly, but after Aten grew up, Bartello never came to see him.

Only instructions were given occasionally. It was literally like an order given by the emperor to his subjects.

In the past, the relationship between Frondier and Ampere was quite awkward, but Aten and Bartello went beyond the awkwardness to the point where they began to doubt their relationship as father and daughter.

“Well, even if Aten wants to see it, my current husband will never show his face.”

If Aten sees Bartello now, even that innocent child will open his mouth in shock. That’s how much Bartello got old and withered. That’s why Bartello even hid his appearance. Now I can’t even meet Philly easily.

“Well, we’ll talk about this later. “We’re going to be busy from now on!”

Partner Fili clapped his hands as if to brighten the mood. Ajie understood what he meant and nodded.

“Even Aten contacted me with this agenda. “You know what this means, right?”

“of course.”

The reason Ajie came to the imperial palace this time is different from the last time.

At that time, Ajie came to the imperial palace to fulfill his duties, but now Ajie came to the imperial palace as a ‘professional’.

It was by chance that Atjie overheard Aten and Fili’s phone call, but the original location for his work was not the imperial palace.

“I have already received calls from several places. The details are different, but the general outline is the same. “It’s the ‘mana injection incident.’”

Taaak Fili lightly snapped his fingers. Atjie bowed deeply to him.

The imperial palace knights immediately gathered and lined up. Fili said as he looked through the whole thing.

“This enemy is on a scale that exceeds our expectations. It is a power that may be comparable to the previous ‘Indus’ or even to ‘Cape Ten Thousand’. “It would be nice if it were a group of mad scientists who just didn’t appear in the world, but that won’t happen.”

It was a very dangerous and scary statement, but Fili’s face showed no fear as he spoke. She said with a rather gentle smile.

“This agenda will be a joint mission involving our palace, professionals, and even Constell.”

As Fili said that, he looked at Ajie. Ajie didn’t make a special expression, but unusually, he had the same thoughts as Fili.

Fili said exactly what he thought.

“long time no see.”
