Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 202

Chapter 67 The Trinity

Around the time when rumors of Frontier caused commotion and tension in Constell.

“… … Well, it was something I had to do at some point.”

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

The ring back tone lasted less than 3 seconds.

-Aten! What’s the matter, do you call first?

What she received was her mother, Empress Philly.

When he heard Philly’s voice full of joy, Aten felt a little sorry. Sometimes I call first. No, but it doesn’t really mean anything because Philly calls so often.

– Oh? hello?

“Ah, yes. Mom. Wait, the connection must have been strange. I get along well?”

-then. I’m fine. There’s nothing wrong with the palace. but… … .

Philly stopped talking. It was rare for her.

And soon a voice mixed with laughter was heard again.

-no. I’ll talk later.

“What is it, that rhetoric? I am very angry.”

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

uhm. Aten was dissatisfied with Philly’s hiding, but had to change the topic. Philly, once he makes a decision, he never changes. Like now, he smiles brightly and doesn’t answer.

“… … It’s just, it’s nothing.”

Aten told Philly what had happened at the Terst department store.

The terrorist acts of a man named Jacob, his bizarre mana flow, wounds presumed to be injection marks, and the possibility that mana infusions are returning to the system of groups rather than individuals.

And even an unidentified recommendation from the homeroom teacher Jane at Constell.

– Hmm.

Philly’s impressions were brief. It’s not that Philly is indifferent to the matter, but her reaction is usually like this.

“It’s just that, something like this happened. It’s like a recent talk.”

Aten deliberately said that because he didn’t think this incident had much to do with the Imperial Palace.

To the last, it is just a conversation between a mother and a daughter, not to ‘Empress Philly’. Of course, I really wanted to know about this case, but I couldn’t say that.

– The place where the terrorists were located is Terst Department Store?

“yes. In front of the cafe.”

-Oh. That’s really clever.

is it crafty?

Aten was puzzled by Philly’s choice of words. The question was compounded when Philly asked someone from the other side of the phone, ‘Isn’t it?’

– No, I’m still investigating the matter here.

“inspection? In the Imperial Palace?”

Is this not just about Constell’s side?

-The mana injection you mentioned doesn’t seem to discriminate between people.

“What does that mean?”

-Whether it’s a weak person or a strong person, no matter how much or little mana you have from the beginning, they said that it will surely work?

Of course, the downside is that it can’t be hidden and it leaks, but Philly added.

Aten’s expression darkened.

Until now, it was believed that the target of mana injection was limited to those with weak mana from the beginning. Sufficiently talented people wouldn’t be able to demonstrate their effectiveness.

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 puts their mind to it can get more amplified mana by injecting it.

“… … What are the side effects?”

– Nothing special yet. Have you seen it yourself? Bloodshot eyes, rough breathing, excitement and tension, out of control and leaking auras every time you speak. Everyone has similar symptoms, but that’s it. So far, no one has died because of it. just,

“just?”

– It looks like you have to live like that for the rest of your life.

Aten thought for a moment at those words. It would be strange if an average person continued to do the symptoms Philly just said, but there must be quite a few people who want to gain mana even if it’s not life-threatening. The aspirations of those who want to be strong on this continent are immense.

– In fact, if there are no casualties, the police will not come forward. So is the palace. But there are two reasons why we entered the investigation this time.

“What?”

-First, getting injections is the realm of medicine. not magic. I don’t know the principle of the technology that puts mana into liquid, but it’s not that simple to put someone else’s mana into it. 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 right now, but that’s all about ‘now’.

“… … !”

Aten guessed what Philly was trying to say.

“… … Before that, how many people would have died.”

-okay. It’s not a place that works normally. I don’t know what steps they took to get rid of the side effects. It would be nice to say that I didn’t hurt anyone in the process, but I think the probability of that happening is very low.

That’s what Aten thought.

It is a drug that was initially injected into terrorists. There is no such thing as a complete group.

– And the second.

“What is the second one?”

– What do you think the person who got the injection will do after that?

“… … Well, why don’t we do things we couldn’t do when we were weak?”

-Aten, a person. What you couldn’t do when you were weak, but what you can do when you become strong. what do you think there will be?

At that, Aten shut her mouth while trying to answer something.

I knew what Philly was trying to say.

Even thinking about it right now, I don’t think it’s that good.

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

“… … Yep, another drug… … .”

Yes.

There is no guarantee that a person who gets one shot won’t get another shot.

But the second injection, will there be any side effects?

– We still don’t know what effect the second injection will have on the human body. It can cause serious side effects that can actually lead to death, or rather the aforementioned symptoms can disappear. The problem is that you don’t know.

Aten listened to Philly for a moment, and then shouted, “Oh.

Something suddenly came to mind.

Rumors about Frontier that have been circulating lately.

“… … Mom. There have been rumors about Frontier recently.”

– He’s always a gossip.

that’s though.

“There are rumors that he may have been injected with mana.”

This time, Philly stopped talking. Aten continued talking to him.

“Isn’t the purpose of those people to appeal that if you get two or more injections, your symptoms will go away? Frontier is such a person. Frontier’s mana has grown so much that he can’t even get a jaw with just one shot.”

-… … Whatever your intentions, it’s good to use it as an excuse to keep getting shots.

Philly muttered.

Then, suddenly, he spoke in a strange voice.

-Aten, you mean that other students who have seen Frontier’s rapid growth believe that he has become stronger by committing expedients or near-criminals without acknowledging that he had the courage to overcome the hardships and dangers of his desperate efforts? Is Frontier just a lazy guy who never tried anything?

“… … I didn’t say that.”

It’s not wrong.

But why do you have to say it again?

“Oh, maybe.”

– Then Aten, okay. I’ll think about it too. You too, be careful in Constell. I don’t think I’ll ever touch you, but it’s better to be careful. There are always things that don’t know the subject.

“Mom, wait a minute. You just talked so strangely.”

– Well then, Aten.

Philly hung up without even giving Aten a chance to speak.

Aten looked at the phone where the call had ended.

“no way. I thought there was someone by my side.”

Philly’s playful smile is clearly visible.

* * *

The Imperial Palace, Philly’s private office.

“ha. Aten too. You can’t take a man if you just help out blindly.”

I really don’t want to think of that. Philly looked at her phone and muttered as if regretfully.

“By the way, did you hear the story?”

Then he said to the man who was standing still in front of him while he was on the phone.

The man secretly let out a small sigh and said.

“Did you tell me to listen?”

Black hair, a well-groomed body. A sharp face reminiscent of a forged sword.

Atzier de Roach was there.

“It is a felony to overheard the Empress’s phone call. Oh my.”

“… … I was about to leave.”

It was Philly herself who stopped it.

Philly smiled as if he was happy.

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

I knew you were going to ask

Atjie lowered his eyes.

“Students love rumors. Without being particularly sincere, they are always looking for gossip, inflating and distorting them to have a conversation or to set the mood. Just that. Even Frontier wouldn’t mind. Nothing that isn’t true can’t shake my brother.”

Atji’s words, Philly’s eyes went cold as if it wasn’t interesting. Heck, I thought I’d say something like this. That’s why Aji. You can’t shake this man’s feelings.

“──But.”

But after that, Atzier said:

“If there are people who can’t just enjoy rumors as rumors, but truly believe them. If there is someone who is foolishly aware of what Frontier has been doing and seeks self-satisfaction by being seduced by unreliable information that is just floating around.”

Sunlight shone through the slanted clouds through the windows of the imperial palace. The transmitted sunlight stayed on Atjie’s hair, eyes, chin, and shoulders.

“It would be a shame that I graduated from Constell.”

Philly blinked and looked at Atzier. Soon, a smile lingered in his eyes.

“It’s strict.”

“Positions and qualifications are created by people. Constell should, too.”

“Ajie-san really likes to talk about qualifications or responsibility.”

Atjie did not answer him.

Qualifications and Responsibilities. Of course, I don’t have any preference for that kind of thing. But of course I think it should be.

“Is the Empress okay?”

“What?”

“… … .”

Atjie was trying to say something. Because if I said more than this, I would have crossed the line too much.

However, Philly’s eyesight is so good that even if she hides her words, the conversation is still going.

“About my husband? Why don’t you tell your daughter?”

“… … .”

Philly’s husband. Bartello Terst.

The current emperor of the empire.

He is currently simply not feeling well. It’s not that you’re ill, but it’s probably hard for your body to recover.

The cause is not great. It’s just getting weak and getting old.

“it’s okay. I’ll have to say it at the right time, but that’s not today.”

“… … .”

“Aten only knows the Emperor’s face, but he doesn’t remember his father’s face.”

Aten seldom saw Barthello’s face. When he was very young, he showed his face for a while, but after Aten grew up, Bartello never came to see him.

Only occasional instructions were given. It was like an order the emperor gave to his subjects.

In the past, the relationship between Frontier and Ampere was quite awkward, but Aten and Bartello went beyond awkwardness to the point of doubting their relationship.

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

When Aten sees the current Bartello, even that blunt child will open his mouth in amazement. That is why Bartello was very old and withered. Even more so, Bartello hid himself. Now, even Philly is not easy to meet.

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

Fellow, Philly clapped her hands as if to evoke the atmosphere. Atjie understood the meaning and nodded.

“Even Aten contacted me with this agenda. Do you know what this means?”

“of course.”

The reason Atjie came to the Imperial Palace this time was different from the last time.

At that time, Atjie came to fulfill his duties in the Imperial Palace, but now Atjie visited the Imperial Palace as a ‘pro’.

It was a coincidence that Atzier heard Aten and Philly’s phone call, but his original location for this task was not the Imperial Palace.

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

Ack, Philly flicked his finger lightly. Atjie bowed deeply to him.

The Imperial Palace Knights immediately gathered and arranged. Looking through the whole thing, Philly said.

“This enemy is bigger than we expected. Perhaps more than the previous ‘Indus’, perhaps even comparable to ‘Mangot’. It would be nice to have a group of mad scientists that just didn’t come out, but it won’t be.”

It was a very dangerous and scary remark, but there was no fear on the face of Philly speaking. Rather, she said with a soft smile.

“This agenda will be a joint mission involving the Imperial Palace, the pros, and even Constell.”

Philly said so and looked at Atzier. Atjie didn’t have an expression on his face, but it was rare that he had the same thoughts as Philly.

Just as he thought, Philly said.

“long time no see.”
