Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Chapter 15 Fishing (4)

“Mr. Alex.”

Alex looked back at the voice coming from behind.

Frontier was standing there.

Alex waved his hands without hiding his annoyance.

“What is it, Frontier? I said I’ll pay you back later,”

“I found a rat.”

Alex’s hand stopped.

He looked at Frontier again with a hardened face.

Frontier still had a face.

Just like that drowsy, sleepy face.

Taking one step closer to Alex.

Alex asked with a frown.

“What do you mean?”

“I have found out who the traitors of Constell are.”

said so.

Alex widened his eyes.

He asked, lowering his voice than Frontier.

“Is that real?”

“Yes. That’s not what I’m talking about here. Come this way.”

“Well.”

Frontier took the lead, and Alex followed.

quiver-

The empty classroom door gently opened and Frontier stepped inside.

Derelict building, empty classroom in the corner.

“Put on soundproofing magic.”

“please.”

Frontier stopped as he walked into the classroom.

And he said without turning his head.

“Teacher.”

“What?”

“You don’t have to.”

“What do you mean?”

Frontier turned his head to look at Alex.

was smiling softly.

“You don’t have to draw that sword.”

As Frontier said.

Alex’s hand was on the handle of the sword attached to his waist.

I found the traitor.

That is nonsense.

Because the traitor is Alex.

Alex is a traitor, and you tell Alex that you found the traitor.

The frontier is stumbling.

However, if you were convinced of the traitor in any way, there must be a reason.

If that’s the reason Alex strangles himself.

Furthermore, if it harms the princess.

“… … frontier. Don’t be too resentful You put your hand in a pit of fire.”

“Teacher.”

Frontier quietly called out to Alex.

defenseless attitude.

languid voice.

“You don’t have to watch out for me.”

“… … What does that mean?”

Alex’s face became extremely tense.

Frontier laughed softly.

And Frontier said something unbelievable.

“Because I’m a mouse too.”

Saying that, Frontier raised his right hand.

On that index finger, there were only four rings in the imperial family.

‘The Princess’s Ring… … !’

Alex’s eyes widened uncontrollably.

* * *

After talking to Philly on the roof.

I looked at her for a moment.

Like the Empress, Philly was wearing a variety of luxurious accessories.

What caught my eye in particular was the ring worn on the index finger.

I asked.

“Only Mr. Philly’s ring.”

“yes?”

Philly used the john again on me.

It seems that that honest appearance was only for a short time.

I was a little sad, but I didn’t mind.

“Do you think Philly and your children are all wearing the same ring?”

“Yes. This is what I tell my daughters… … ah.”

Philly convinced herself rather than answering me.

By answering the questions up to that point, I understood my intentions.

The sunken eyes, the hand brought to the corner of the mouth.

“… … indeed. I know what you mean.”

“Does the ring look exactly the same?”

“It’s exactly the same. But there is no spare. It’s a ring specially made for me and my daughters.”

Then there are only 4 rings.

Because it has a very complex pattern, a clumsy copy is immediately noticeable.

“But I can’t take this ring off. Every move is observed in public places, so if they find out that the ring is missing, the enemy will be alert.”

“You don’t have to.”

I held the necklace and black lotus in my hand.

I thought I would show this skill to someone someday.

That’s the Imperial Empress.

There is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Philly’s Ring

[Phillie’s Ring]

– The finest ring that Philly gave to her daughters.

– Although there are no magical properties, the artistry of the ring itself and the rarity of having only four are comparable to its value.

I showed the weave in front of Philly’s eyes.

A ring that takes shape in an instant and fits in my hand.

It looks exactly like Philly’s ring.

“… … Oh my gosh.”

Philly looked at the scene blankly and said something.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

I think it’s the most honest voice I’ve ever heard.

“How do you see the Empress?”

I held out the ring.

Philly looked around the ring of black cloth.

“… … It’s the same. Everything from texture, luster, and even patterns. You won’t be able to tell it’s fake with your eyes.”

“I’m going to catch Constell’s traitor with this.”

Philly looked around the ring once more at my words and smiled.

“It would be worthwhile.”

* * *

Alex pointed to the ring I had shown him and trembled.

“How did you get that ring… … !”

“received. I don’t think the teacher would believe me just by saying it.”

Alex will know the meaning of this ring.

“No, even so, though… … !”

Alex seemed confused.

that I am wearing this ring.

Alex doesn’t know the connection between me and Philly.

Even if I knew, I wouldn’t expect Philly to hand me her ring.

Actually, it’s a woven product, so it wasn’t from Philly.

“Are you really saying that Elysia-sama gave it to you?”

Well, you said it yourself.

As Alex said, the mastermind of all the crimes is Elysia.

To Alex, this ring will appear to have been given to him by Elysia.

I think about the possibility that it was given to me by my other daughters, Aten, Saleh, or Philly, but the hypothesis is broken by the fact that I came to see myself as a traitor.

I’m the only one who knows that Alex is a traitor.

If anyone other than me was suspicious of Alex, Alex, who has a good sense of humor, would have noticed right away.

Alex believes that it is impossible for anyone to know who he is.

Because of that, my lie works for Alex.

There’s absolutely no way you’d get caught, because in the first place, you’re an ‘ally’.

Because Frontier de Roach is his reinforcements sent by Elysia.

It is impossible not to be caught by this reassuring and sweet lie.

“Did I really give you the ring? That precious ring?”

“That’s right.”

“can not believe it.”

“Then would you like to see it for yourself?”

I reached out my hand.

Alex, who had been thinking of killing me if I left the car a while ago, now flinched and pulled himself even if I held out his hand.

In the midst of all that, my eyes carefully scan the ring on my hand.

Well, it’s something that even Philly, the owner of the ring, can’t tell.

Alex can’t figure it out.

“… … But you’re the one who interrupted Renzo’s plans! How can you say that you are Elysia-sama’s subordinate!”

Yeah, that’s the problem.

I’m on Elysia’s side, who interrupted Renzo, so it doesn’t match.

This is where it matters.

Alex now calls me ‘the one who interfered with Renzo’s plans’.

If I knew I cut off Renzo’s arm, I would never say it like that.

In other words, Alex believes the false information I sent to Constell.

This is Alex’s gap.

At the time of the midterm exam, Renzo replaced all the drones around him with fakes in order not to be caught kidnapping Aten.

As a result, no one in Constell witnessed Renzo’s crimes.

Yes. No one.

Even Alex and Elysia, who were teammates with Renzo, did not see the situation at that time.

“That is not true.”

“What, what?”

“Elysia-sama had planned to kidnap Aten from the moment she confirmed that I was acting with Aten. But I wanted a more certain way. That’s why I also brought him to Elysia-sama’s side. It minimizes the chance that something will go wrong.”

“Ha, but the plan failed.”

“Yes. It failed nonetheless. It was discovered by Edden Hamerlot, a pro. Why?”

“Because… … .”

Alex’s bewildered face is worth seeing.

Alex rolled his eyes at my words, and then opened his eyes as if realizing.

Finally, Alex arrived.

To the fake truth I made up.

“… … no way. Nope. It can’t be. Elysia-sama can’t do that… … .”

“… … .”

I was silent once.

Knowing that it is more effective for bluffing.

And slowly opened his mouth.

“Elysia-sama is suspicious of you.”

“No way! It is a lie!”

“You were the only one who could ruin this plan that will never fail. You are the only one who knows all of Elysia-sama’s plans in advance.”

“It’s the same with you!”

“Everyone knew I was acting with Aten. And above all else, I tell others about Renzo-san’s intrusion without being noticed by Renzo-san. Do you think this is possible?”

That’s ironic.

Originally, this lie was a clumsy lie made up to hide the fact that I cut Renzo’s arm.

Now, instead of using that ‘clumsy’ to pressure Alex.

“… … I am not If Elysia-sama hears my story, you will know.”

“Elysia-sama said that she needs clear evidence.”

“What evidence do you mean?”

“Ales-sama, are you really Alex-sama?”

“… … what?”

I narrowed my eyes at Alex’s question.

“Elysia suspects that you have been ‘replaced’ along the way.”

“Replace, Lani… … .”

“Are you really Mr. Alex?”

In the world of Etius, both magic and science remain at a high level.

Changing face and body to imitate others. It’s not easy, but it’s doable.

In other words, Alex was ‘exchanged’ by someone else without Elysia’s knowledge.

The real Alex is locked up or dead somewhere, and the current Alex is a third person that Elysia does not know.

… … This is a fake scenario I made up.

“gibberish! I am Alex!”

“Then you must know about the plan.”

Of course, I know all about Elysia’s plans.

The problem is that the reason is ‘playing it as a game’.

For this reason, no one in Constell can convince anyone.

So, it is not me who persuades Constell’s teachers, but Alex.

—Tell me, Alex.

Choose the path that makes you comfortable.

Don’t make me a cradle-like grave.

Alex’s chin protruded as if biting a molar.

exhale passionately.

“Of course! It’s an ‘attack’!”

“What kind of attack are you talking about?”

“You were bringing in demons to attack Constell!”

“How?”

“It was to spread a large-scale magic circle, ‘Rafflesia’ in Constell, and lure monsters to Constell!”

“The reason is that?”

“Excluding Atten Terst and Rodrik Terst!”

After Alex’s loud cry, there was a moment of silence.

finally pulled it out

Elysia’s ‘Attack Plan’.

As Alex himself said, Elysia uses Alex to build a magic circle that summons monsters to Constell.

When the magic circle is activated, the monsters attack Constell without looking back and forth.

If that happens, all the students in Constell are at risk, and that’s the case with Atten.

And Elysia knows that if Aten falls in danger, Rodrik will come to the rescue.

The plan was to push the two of them into a wave of demons and kill them at once.

Yes.

A quest alarm that popped up on my smartwatch before.

This plan created by Elysia is the main quest, ‘Assault’.

No matter how much he is driven by me, the reason why Alex is able to divulge his plans like this is because he believes in his own soundproofing magic.

That was Alex’s last mistake.

I stared at Alex for a moment.

This is the final stage of acting.

I smiled reassuringly and said.

“Fortunately, the. It seems that Elysia-sama’s worries were in vain.”

“… … It sounds natural.”

“Then I will go back. The teacher can proceed as planned.”

Having said that, I passed Alex and walked out into the classroom.

The important point is that I ‘passed’ through Alex.

Alex had missed his last chance to kill me at this very moment.

When I opened the classroom door,

“Alas.”

Two women stood at the entrance to the classroom door.

“Can we talk?”

It was Malia and Jane.

“her… … ?”

Seeing the two of them, Alex was momentarily perplexed, but soon regained his composure and said:

“What are you talking about?”

Alex took off the shichimi.

He believes in the soundproofing magic that he puts in the classroom.

Malia smiled and pointed to her ear.

“Did you forget my ability?”

Malia’s pedigree ability, ‘sharing senses’.

You can share one of your five senses with someone else.

If you share your hearing, Malia can hear what the person who shared it hears too.

In this case, the soundproofing magic loses its meaning.

Because what I hear with my ears is what Malia hears.

Alex, not knowing what was going on, caused a pupil earthquake,

Finally, the expression on the face looking at me after I finally got to know was just a spectacle.

“You bastard… … !”

what did you hear

It’s not a dog, it’s a mouse.
