The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

Agoris.

The name was unfamiliar to Frondier.

However, judging from what the devil was saying, he could make a guess.

“...Is that the name of the western continent?”

“Kuh-huh, that's right. This place was 'Falind,' wasn't it?”

As the devil said, the name of the continent Frondier had lived on so far was Falind.

Since the outer monsters had attacked and many areas were lost, leaving only the Terst Empire in actuality, the two were often not distinguished, but there was a separate name for the continent.

However, many players tilted their heads when they played the game Etius.

This was because they had never seen or heard the word 'Etius' anywhere in the game.

And the word Etius, which appeared for the first time on Frondier's smart watch a while ago.

Since he first saw Etius in the message that he had completed the World Quest, Frondier was convinced that Etius was the word that meant this world.

But.

‘They said I completed the quest, but incidents and accidents keep happening.’

If the World Quest was over, shouldn't he be moving on to the next ‘world’? But Frondier was still here.

Whether the smart watch was malfunctioning, or there was still homework to be done even though it was over, or he misunderstood the word World Quest and Etius.

Or maybe it was just a bad game.

“Anyway, untie this! I have no business with humans!”

While Frondier was thinking for a moment, the devil was still struggling. But with that much strength, Obsidian wouldn't budge.

In the first place, even if he untied Obsidian, it was meaningless because he couldn't undo Elodie's magic.

“If you have no business with humans, what is the reason you came here?”

Why would devils with no business with humans, and not just one or two but a huge army, attack the mansion?

“Of course, it's to repay an old debt!”

The devil shouted. His mouth curved up as if he was boiling with sadistic pleasure.

“We came to kill devils!”

“...What?”

An answer that could only be questioned.

Devils came to kill devils?

“We know that the devils of the demon realm have entered the human world! We have business with them!”

Devils of the demon realm. Definitely Satan.

The devils who crossed over through the gate at that time. As Frondier expected, it seemed that there were still some left who had not returned.

‘But are the devils living in the human world and the devils of the demon realm on bad terms with each other?’

It seemed they were more than just on bad terms, they were hostile to each other.

Besides, they said they were ‘abandoned’ and used the word ‘betrayal’.

‘Maybe these guys were originally supposed to be in the demon realm?’

If they were staying in the human world for some reason.

Frondier, who had organized his thoughts, asked again.

“What do you mean by Belphegor's warning?”

“Originally, we were going to punish the devils of the demon realm right away, but Belphegor blocked us.”

“Blocked you?”

“That's right. He said we ‘broke the promise’. He said the Falind continent was his. Ha! Why should we listen to such nonsense!”

The devil shouted arrogantly, but Frondier couldn't help but twitch his lips.

‘You were listening to that nonsense faithfully. Until Belphegor disappeared.’

They were just watching his eyes while Belphegor was there, but as soon as he disappeared, they immediately attacked. It was shameless, or perhaps it was just like a devil.

‘Did Belphegor not want the intervention of other devils as much as he wanted to bring down the empire himself?’

Or maybe he purely just wanted the destruction of mankind.

‘But wait, the fact that the guys who came to kill devils charged into this mansion...’

Frondier asked.

“Can you distinguish devils hidden among humans?”

To that, the devil immediately replied.

“Of course! Why do you think we came here!”

Indeed, if they didn't know that there was a devil hiding here, they wouldn't have targeted this mansion in the first place.

“How on earth,”

The moment Frondier said that.

Swish-

Pabababak!!

A hole was pierced through the head of the devil who was diligently talking to Frondier.

Not

Not only that one, but all the devils trapped in Elodie's magic had holes pierced through their bodies.

“……!”

Considering the characteristics of Elodie's magic, it was advantageous to annihilate the guys inside, but it was definitely quite powerful.

“Phew, that was close!”

And then a voice came from behind Frondier.

A man with gentle eyes approached with quick steps.

“You are Mr. Frondier, right? I sincerely thank you for stopping the devils.”

“……Yes, and you are?”

Frondier tilted his head at the appearance of the unfamiliar person.

Of course, the ‘timing’ of the unfamiliar person's appearance was also questionable.

‘It seems like he was trying to shut the devil's mouth just now.’

The moment Frondier was about to ask the most important thing, all the devils died.

If this man in front of him was a devil, he would know it himself. That he had done something very noticeable.

Did that mean the information the devil was about to spit out was that dangerous?

“I am Jeremy de Hitchcock.”

“Nice to meet you. I'm embarrassed because you seem to know, but I'm Frondier de Roach.”

Frondier smiled and introduced himself.

For now, the man was very suspicious, but he would just have to wait and see unless there was any confirmation.

‘……Hitchcock.’

Frondier had heard that name before.

Hitchcock was the name of a family, but it was also the name of a company. The Hitchcock company was famous for making the highest quality magic engineering products in the empire.

The armband that Elodie made to control her magic output was a Hitchcock product, and Frondier's armband was an imitation of the design of that product.

Jeremy spread his arms and looked alternately at Frondier and Elodie who was approaching from afar.

“As expected of Mr. Frondier and Ms. Elodie. Your skills are admirable. To subdue such devils in an instant.”

“Yes. You too, Mr. Jeremy. That was the first time I've seen such a powerful and fast continuous attack. Is it an application of wind magic?”

Elodie asked Jeremy.

Meanwhile, Frondier examined Jeremy's face.

‘……Assuming he's a devil, of course.’

He really couldn't be distinguished from a human.

Unlike the low-ranking devils who looked similar and could be roughly judged by their appearance, Jeremy showed no difference from humans.

‘Judging from the fact that he has his own appearance, he would be a high-ranking devil, but even that information is scarce. How high is high-ranking? Is it lower than Lily?’

While Frondier was thinking, Jeremy held out his hand.

“It's not magic that I use, but a magic engineering product.”

Saying that, he showed the cylindrical device worn under his palm.

“It's an item that can aim and fire high-pressure compressed air at an opponent using mana. The attractive thing is that it can be used even if the user's own magic power or magic skills are not excellent. Above all, it shows excellent power.”

“Oh, that's amazing.”

Frondier also checked the item Jeremy showed him.

‘To be honest, a gun comes to mind first, but it's amazing that the wind itself becomes an attack without using bullets. As he introduced, it seems like it can be used indefinitely as long as there is magic power.’

Perhaps the magic formula was engraved in that item from the structural stage. In other words, it was virtually magic. It's just that he couldn't lower or increase the power there.

“Mr. Frondier, if I had known you were attending the banquet today, I would have greeted you sooner.”

“……To me?”

Frondier asked back.

Of course, he had never met Jeremy before, and although the Hitchcock company was famous, it didn't have any particular connection with the Roach family.

“Of course. You know my family, Hitchcock, right? We run a company, but we've been interested in Mr. Frondier for a long time.”

“……I see.”

Frondier simply replied, having nothing to say. To be honest, he didn't believe it half the time.
