Academy’s Weapon Replicator chapter 417

Chapter 120: Machia (5)

[…]

[The reason I came here personally is because you crossed the line of what I allow.]

[Are you out of your mind? I am a person who has ties not only to nobles, but also to the royal family of this country, and even to King Palma. If you do something stupid to me, something will happen that you can’t handle.]

[Okay. Then, let me tell you something.]

Frondier spoke in a more subdued voice. In his head, he was thinking things like, ‘The king here’s name was Palma.’

[If you do something stupid to Carla, something really unbearable will happen.]

[… !]

[For me. I want to create a society where humans and demons can coexist well. But for that to happen, several premises are needed. Devils like humans, but humans hate devils. So, don’t we need to prepare ourselves so that we won’t be hated even when we enter human society?]

Front Dear, even though he said it himself, he thought it was a brilliant piece of bullsh*t.

Humans and demons cannot coexist. Even if that is possible, this does not mean that it is okay for them to be mixed within a social organization.

Just as you wouldn’t put a dog and a monkey in the same cage, there are definitely areas where they can never understand each other.

Of course, I do this knowing that it is bullsh*t. To look more like the devil.

[Preparation, what on earth are you preparing for…]

There, Lady Achaia’s expression changed.

[No way, gathering information from nobles… !]

[You noticed.]

I didn’t notice it at all.

Frondier smiled darkly, as if it had been his plan.

[You seem to think that this is work that Carla has just begun at Atlas.]

The wife’s eyes waver at the sound of Frontier’s voice. The premise she had been thinking about all along is falling apart. She had that kind of face.

Like driving a wedge in there.

[Since when do you think I have been collecting that much information?]

[… Lie…]

It’s a lie.

[Do you think the connections you talk about will be more effective than the information I have?]

Mrs. Akiia said herself. She says she has ties to the king.

It was an appeal that there was a high possibility that the king or royal family would be on her side, but on the other hand, if she made a big mistake, it could even affect her royal family.

[… What is the purpose?]

Finally, that question came from her wife. In effect, it was a declaration of defeat.

[I can’t tell you that.]

Because I don’t even know Frontier.

[Atlas is where my son goes. What on earth is going on here? Why is Carla gathering information about the devil? What is the reason for collecting and trading information on nobles?]

Lady Achaia was worried about her son. Probably most of her nobles who shared her cause. She was probably thinking of leaving Atlas when she was done.

From Frontier’s point of view, this is a bit difficult. He still needs his position as an Atlas teacher, and if Ajax’s evaluation of him deteriorates after he leaves Atlas, it will be difficult for him to continue as a teacher.

[Don’t worry.]

So said Frontier.

[Nothing will happen to Atlas. Because we are moving for that.]

[… What are you talking about.]

[Coexistence of devils and humans, I told you so.]

[That bullsh*t.]

That’s right bullsh*t.

But there may be people who believe that that’s not bullsh*t.

Frontier decided to become that person.

Just for a moment.

[Our demons are currently in conflict.]

Our devils. The moment I said that, I got goosebumps inside my armpits.

[Opposition… ?]

[It’s the same as humans. I believe there is no need to fight humans.]

[… Saying that, you are gathering information to threaten the nobles?]

[Is that a problem?]

Of course it was a problem, but Frondier asked, tilting his head.

Demons are usually like this. Frontier was increasingly pretending to be a demon.

[… After all, I can’t have anything to do with you guys. You can’t understand humans. You guys.]

And it worked very well.

It worked so well that Frontier felt a bit bitter.

[Anyway, please watch. There should not be any interference from you yet.]

After Frondier said that, he stepped back.

He exchanged greetings with the other noble ladies, gave the same greeting to Lady Achaia, and left.

The electric sound flew back to his back.

[Are you really the 72 devil?]

Frondier thought about the question for a moment and then spoke.

[I am close with Bael.]

* * *

First, the fire was quickly extinguished. Maybe.

When I arrived at the gym, my sixth sense told me that some magic was already about to be activated.

With her wife, Achaia, at the center, I was able to persuade her to get over her immediate situation amicably.

I’m not sure if that persuaded her wife either.

In any case, this is nothing more than buying time. If we leave it like this, Lady Achaia and her collaborators will take some time to tighten the collar again. At that time, it will be more difficult to block as Lady Achaia knows about my existence.

It must be resolved before that.

“Good. “Now let’s look for the collar again.”

I am imitating Kala’s dark side.

This is partly to lure out the real black devil himself, and even if the dark devil does not move, it is for me to take advantage of the dark devil’s position.

Carla is someone you can use. Just like the original darkness was. He already has a good system in place, so unless a real dark side appears, I will pretend to be a dark side as much as I can.

Then, the first thing that must be determined first is contact with the color. Because it doesn’t make sense that Kala’s dark side can’t even meet Kala.

From her perspective, the target of the threat simply changes to me, but from my perspective, I become able to take on the mistakes others take.

‘What needs to be resolved first is petrification.’

I didn’t know it before, but the reason Carla is avoiding me must have something to do with petrification. I’m glad to know that I’m not avoiding it because I don’t like it so much.

‘Now that I think about it, how does the original dark side respond to the petrification of the color?’

I’m curious about that too, but I just deal with it my way.

And there is one thing I can guess about it.

It’s just a possibility, but I can’t help but check it out.

‘He was at the gym a little while ago, but he disappeared again.’

I even saw him talking to the nobles, but while talking to Lady Achaia, he disappeared again.

Now is the time for a short break after sparring. It seems like he plans to avoid me whenever he has free time.

But, well, that’s their situation.

“I need to make you feel comfortable little by little.”

Carla avoids me because she’s afraid I’ll turn to stone. Maybe.

So when you realize you don’t have to, you’ll stop avoiding me.

‘Kala is a monster. At least for now.’

I got a different feeling from Kala than from a human. Unlike I didn’t feel anything from Lili or Arald, I had a clear feeling from Kala.

That probably means they sensed that it was a monster.

My sixth sense gives me a clear signal of the collar’s presence.

Of course, if it were the original, it would be sending a warning to the threat called monsters.

For me now, it just clearly tells me where the collar is.

So I walk along, following that feeling,

“… Uh? Nonsense!”

I found Carla in a thicket of bushes behind a building where no one seemed to be coming.

“If you stay in a place like this, you will get hurt.”

I walked up to her and said. Naturally, Carla stepped back that much.

“Uh, how did you find it? Me?”

“I put a location tracker on you.”

“… !”

“It’s a joke.”

I spoke to her collar who hurriedly fumbled with her clothes at my words. Carla turned her head, her face slightly red.

“W-what’s going on?”

“You’re avoiding me. President.”

“I didn’t avoid it.”

“I just asked how you found it.”

That means he ran away.

“…”

“There is no end to this.”

Fault!

I jumped lightly and reached the front of Kala.

“Oh, no! I’ll go! “I remembered something important!”

Hot!

He grabbed Carla’s arm as she tried to escape.

“My work is important.”

“Then get to work! “Why are you holding me down!”

“This is important now.”

“W-what are you talking about!”

Carla’s face got even redder and she waved her arms eagerly, but there was no way she would let go of my hand with this fragile body.

“Look at me, President.”

“Oh, no! No!”

Of course she can’t see me.

And now it’s actually dangerous for her to see me too.

Unless something I need to check is confirmed.

“Well, I remembered something urgent! “It’s urgent and important!”

“My work is urgent and important.”

Carla closed her mouth in response to my answer, as if she wasn’t going to argue anymore.

I just looked at that collar.

——Frondier, you have a weakness for women, right?

Damn.

Woe!

“Kya?!”

I used my strength to grab her collar and pull her.

Carla didn’t originally wear sunglasses.

If sunglasses are one of the ways to prevent petrification, then regular collars can control petrification without the need to use them.

But I always wear sunglasses in front of me.

In other words, there are conditions under which control fails.

Whether it’s emotional upset or physical shock.

Something needs to be taken out.

Anything.

From Noble mtl dot com

“President.”

I spoke to her, her rector.

She’s soft on women. I’ll never hear that again.

“Look at me.”

“… !”

Now she shakes her head without answering.

But clearly, my sixth sense responded to the power of the collar.

It’s definitely not ordinary magic. An alien force felt in Carla’s body.

And,

‘… Also.’

I was sure.

I know this power.

‘I wondered what this curse from God was.’

Carla was clearly cursed by God.

So what is God’s curse? Is it different from curses made by demons or humans?

How does God bestow upon humans the terrifying power of turning those who look at them into stone?

Carla’s appearance now, the foreign feeling emanating from her, the brilliant and eerie light.

I have this light.

I’ve already seen it with Aster, Elodie, Edwin, Pielot, etc.

‘This is divine power.’

The Kala was exactly like their brilliant and glorious power.

And the moment I knew that, what I had to do was decided.

Kuuk

I forced Carla’s face and snatched her sunglasses.

Quack!

Then she took it in her hands and crushed it without hesitation.

“W-what are you doing! Whoop!”

Then, she grabbed Carla’s protesting face with both of her hands and forced her to look her in the eyes.

Carla closed her eyes tightly as if it were her last line of defense, but she lifted her eyelids with her thumbs.

“No! “You are in danger!”

“That won’t happen.”

I thought so too a little while ago. I was worried that I would become a stone without knowing anything about it.

But not anymore.

Since we know that the identity of Kala’s curse is actually divine power, the same rules will apply.

——If you use demonic power on a target that is using divine power,

‘Come out.’

I look straight into Carla’s eyes and unleash my demonic power.

The collar may be dangerous during this process. I am making some predictions, but they are not 100%.

But like I said, Carla is not my colleague or anything.

If Elodie sees this scene, she won’t be able to say that I’m weak to women.

‘Come out, Athena.’

Petrification, a force that Kala herself cannot control. That is why it is called a curse.

So, can Athena really be controlled?

No, even if that is possible, can we as ‘God’ avoid this situation?

‘No, that can’t be.’

At that moment, I saw the scenery around me change. I smiled at him.

A soaring tree. Starting from that, magnificent trees grow with branches in all directions, creating a forest.

Before I knew it, Kala’s appearance had disappeared, and I was left alone with the sight of the forest filling up around me.

‘Pantemonium’ opens.
