Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 226

Chapter 73 Convocation (3)

I laughed awkwardly at Lily’s words. It was, of course, a made-up smile.

“I’m going to hold on for a while.”

After gaining Helheim’s mana, he became quite confident in his defense. It was the same when the first-year students were tested.

There’s nothing I can do about the whole Zodiac rushing at me, but if I’m ready, I’ll be able to deal with it.

More than that, there’s no way I’ll ever attack Barthello in the first place.

‘Imitate me and approach Bartello… … .’

I said it quite frighteningly.

Perhaps Bartello’s safety will be guaranteed.

All the Zodiac are gathered here, not me. It always shows up when attacking.

In other words, even if I respond to the first attack, Zodiac will take care of the rest. Even if it doubles as a watch over me, the main task of the Zodiac right now is to protect the Emperor.

So it’s not Bartello that I’m worried about right now.

‘My feet are tied.’

I am the only one who can find the monster, and the monster is aiming for the emperor.

As long as this premise holds, I must stick to Barthello’s side. At least until I’m sure there won’t be another monster like that.

‘The imperial family is investigating.’

As of now, the identity or source of the monster is unknown. Ampere and Atzier know that they are monsters from another world, so they should be better than others, but would that mean a lot?

smart-

Then someone knocked on the door.

“Excuse me. I have a story to tell the Zodiac.”

Somewhat light-hearted, and a little rude tone.

I frowned slightly at the familiar voice.

“who are you?”

After hearing Ludovic’s question, ah-ha-ha, there was an answer.

“My name is Pascal Schlitz, the Imperial Knight.”

Pascal Schlitz.

Pascal, where Atzier resigned as a temporary teacher and was newly appointed as a teacher at Constell.

He came, whom players called the ‘bad boy’.

“If you have a story to tell, tell it outside the door.”

Ludovic’s sharp tone. However, at this point of emergency, the Emperor was in danger, it was natural.

Pascal spoke outside the door just as he had said.

“The frontier student… … No, but the monster that Mr. Roach captured.”

It was awkward to call Pascal whether he still had the habit of being a teacher.

“What is that monster?”

“Your appearance has changed. It’s getting more and more human. He’s in prison now, and he’s about the same size as the guard in charge. Perhaps you are imitating the person you see.”

Everyone turned to me at Pascal’s words.

His eyes are like saying, ‘Are you good enough?’

“What is the speed of imitation?”

“It’s pretty fast. Maybe I’ll be surprised if I go back to jail now and check it out. We’ll probably have a full replica of the jailer within three hours.”

Even if the monster now looks exactly like the jailer, it won’t change anything. being arrested

“How many of you inside will follow me? You’d better check it out yourself. If you are a Zodiac, you may be able to tell them apart from normal humans.”

At those words, the zodiac looked at each other.

“I will go.”

The first to speak was Daisy Foster, who was arguing with Ludovic.

“You mean our job is to stay here until the enemy attacks, right? I’m so tired of that, I can’t stand it.”

“daisy.”

“Set up the number of shifts between me and my return. How long are the 12 Zodiac members staying here? It’s crazy.”

Daisy turned to the door, speaking to Ludovic.

As she said, it’s not realistic for all of the Zodiac to stay here forever. As long as you are a human, you need to rest, and if there is a guard, there must also be someone who needs to find the enemy’s location.

It was not easy for everyone to speak out because no one else and the Emperor was in a dangerous situation, but Daisy gave them what they needed.

quiver-

The door opened, and Daisy saw Pascal smiling.

“… … Is there anything that makes you feel good?”

“no. I always look like this.”

Because that was true, my expression became subtle.

“See you, Your Majesty.”

Pascal took a step closer to the open door and bowed before the emperor. Bartello, lying down, did not respond.

Pascal raised his head again, found me and waved his hand.

“ah! Frontier, how have you been?”

“… … Yes.”

“Ahaha. It’s still bland. There are a lot of accumulated stories, but I’m busy right now, so I’ll take it easy later.”

… … There must be no such thing as a story piled up with Pascal.

While we were having that conversation, another person stood up.

“I go too.”

This time it was Monty Morgan, the most reticent man in the Zodiac.

Monty is a professional, but what he does is more like a mercenary.

If you like the amount offered by the request, you work, and if you don’t like it, you don’t work.

As a professional job is ultimately in the public interest, Monty helps the people of the Empire as a result, but he doesn’t seem to be interested in anything other than money.

Because of such a disposition, Monty has a poor reputation among pros and at the same time has the highest ransom.

“There is something I want to check.”

At Monty’s words, Pascal nodded without question.

“Then are you two?”

Looking around Pascal, the others remained silent. Of course I stayed still.

“Let’s go.”

So Pascal went out with Daisy and Monty.

After a moment of silence, Ludovic looked around at everyone and said.

“Then, as Daisy said, we also decide our turn. Let’s team up of three and take turns guarding this place.”

There was no one to refute Ludovic’s words.

For this mission that you don’t know how long you will have to wait, it is essential to preserve your stamina.

However, there is only one problem with this.

it’s me

“… … What are you going to do?”

“Of course, I will be here.”

Ludovic asked me as if he was a little worried, and I gave a natural answer.

I can’t get out of this place. There is no one to take turns.

Even if other people use auras and magic to protect the emperor perfectly, once I get out of this place, when I come back, other people can’t help but doubt me.

In the meantime, there is a possibility that a monster will impersonate me.

“If the mission is long and I have to close my eyes, please have at least one person beside me to protect His Majesty. It would be even better if it was covered with a barrier that does not allow water to leak.”

“Can’t you notice the monster’s approach while you sleep?”

“You can notice it.”

My sixth sense is always active even while I’m sleeping. In the first place, I couldn’t sleep because of it. Because my senses are too sensitive.

When the sleep god Hypnos put me to sleep, I slept without knowing that he was taking the black lotus, but that was the power of the gods.

“But you must be worried. There is no way I can convince you that I can notice an enemy approaching while I sleep.”

The Zodiac thought for a moment at my words, then looked at each other and shrugged.

“As you say. Let’s make it as convenient as possible for you. It would be painful to keep waiting here.”

In consideration for Ludovic, I smiled and nodded.

But his mind was still uneasy.

‘I knew it was going to be like this at the time he offered the possibility of mimicking me. I’m totally bound here.’

I couldn’t help but say that. That’s much more dangerous.

But here all the zodiac are summoned.

Read at noblemtl.com

No matter how great the enemy is, is it possible to break through all of them and kill the emperor? When you tried to harm the Emperor, you would have known it would be like this.

‘Did you believe that the monster’s surprise attack was sure to succeed?’

If not.

If all of the Zodiac were to be summoned, and I had predicted that I would join this place.

… … If it was the enemy’s intention from the beginning that I was bound here.

‘… … What he’s aiming for, is he really the emperor?’

* * *

When Pascal arrives in prison with Daisy and Monty.

The three were speechless together. Even Pascal, who had already been imitating the monster, had nothing to say about the scene inside the prison.

“… … You have already copied it perfectly.”

“Yes.”

Daisy’s answer.

As the saying goes, being in the prison was no longer a konjac monster.

The jailer was locked up in the prison. Of course, the guard who looked just like him was outside the prison, looking at his face.

“… … How is it? Can you tell the difference?”

Pascal asked the two of the zodiac.

Daisy frowned and looked at the guard inside the prison and the guard outside the prison.

“… … It will be difficult.”

That feeling was the same for Monty.

“The pattern of breathing, gait, and even the flow of mana are the same. At this point, this is no imitation. I became that person from the inside out. Imitation is usually meant to deceive others, but this has no such purpose. It’s more of a result of just trying to be that person with all your might.”

While Monty was explaining, the monster in the prison murmured quietly with the jailer’s face.

“Hey, mana… … . ugh, my… … . Throat, Momomomok, Enemy.”

Daisy frowned at the sight.

“… … After appearance, is it language?”

“Frondier said this guy is ‘learning’. It’s like watching a child growing up at a fast pace.”

“Even though he’s a child who wants to kill the emperor.”

Pascal was the last to speak.

Then the monster’s eyes turned to Pascal.

Then I closed and opened my eyes a few times.

Bump, tick.

Then suddenly,

Tick-tock-to-be-

The eyelids were raised and closed repeatedly at a speed that would be impossible for a human being. Speed is also speed, but that bizarre movement was definitely not something that humans could imitate.

“… … I’m pretty sure the guy inside is a monster. I wondered if the two of them had swapped while I was there.”

“Please don’t say anything scary.”

said the jailer with a tired face.

Daisy tilted her head.

“What are you doing?”

A monster that blinks dozens of times in one second. Then, at some point, the whole body flowed down like ink.

That moment was definitely the same as when he was a konjac monster.

However, immediately after.

“… … !”

It turned out to be Pascal Schlitz.

“… … what.”

At that time, the instinctive disgust and fear of those watching the prison began to inflate.

“How long did it take to change now?”

“… … 3 seconds? Time is meaningless to count.”

“right.”

Pascal stopped smiling after a long time.

He wasn’t surprised that the konjac monster had turned into himself. There was something more terrifying than that speed.

“… … That sword.”

Pascal opened his mouth.

“He even followed my sword. Even the clothes I’m wearing now.”

“… … Right.”

Daisy and Monty nodded.

A monster that changes shape from moment to moment within the prison. The monster was not naked either as a jailer or as Pascal. with clothes on

In other words, those clothes and weapons are also not real. What the monster copied.

“You said it before. He even mimics the flow of human mana.”

“… … It did.”

“If he could truly mimic perfect, that sword would have the same strength and sharpness as the sword I have now.”

“It is very likely.”

“then.”

Pascal looked at Daisy and Monty.

“Couldn’t he be able to imitate more than that?”

“… … What do you mean?”

“For example, to come.”

“… … !”

Daisy and Monty’s faces hardened at those words.

Pascal spoke again.

“If his impersonation is really doing the high-speed ‘learning’ as Frontier said.”

First appearance, then voice, then language.

Then the next-

“What will happen after you learn all that humans do?”
