Chapter 320 (2) - The Academys Weapon Replicator
Chapter 320 (2) - The Academys Weapon Replicator
Elodie, a magician said to have skills comparable to Aster, surprisingly struggled.
It wasn't that a particularly strong devil was attached to Elodie. It wasn't that Elodie's power was weak.
The problem was the location.
'Why today of all days! Doing self-study in the classroom, of all places!'
Crash!
The axe swung by the devil was blocked by Elodie's magic barrier.
A considerably large axe was swung down with weight, but the barrier didn't even budge. However, Elodie's expression was pure agony.
"Haha! Your barrier seems quite sturdy, but looking at your face, it seems like you've reached your limit!"
The devil smirked triumphantly.
This barrier, no matter how much it's hit, doesn't even get a scratch, but looking at the woman's face, she seems to be getting tired.There was no doubt about it. He had already lost count of how many times he had struck. Was it possible that he couldn't break a single barrier of a mere magician after clashing head-on like this?
No way. Yes, that's right!
"Die with this!"
The devil imbued all the aura he possessed into the blade of his axe. It seemed that this woman, for some unknown reason, only used mana barriers. Since she was pouring all her mana into it, it was naturally strong.
However, he was a devil. A body more familiar with aura than humans. He could never accept being pushed back in a battle of energy.
"Uwaaah!"
Kwaaaaaang─!!
The devil’s strike, with all his might, collided with the barrier, creating a tremendous noise. The shockwave caused the objects around the classroom to tremble and spread out from the center of the two.
In the meantime, Elodie shifted her gaze and her pupils trembled intensely.
The devil saw it.
'Kuh, ugh. Is it still not enough? But looking at that expression, it's clear that she's reached her limit. Next time. Next time for sure!'
And during that time, Elodie thought.
'No! That's Selena's desk! The aura of the devil is damaging the desk!'
Thud.
Elodie gritted her teeth.
If she left the classroom as it was, she didn't know how this ignorant devil would chase her.
He might come breaking everything, desks and walls. That's why she had been only blocking him so far, but there was a limit to her patience.
If she just kept blocking, it was obvious that the surrounding objects would be swept away.
This time, the devil swung his axe horizontally. Again, the strong aura flowed excessively, sweeping the surroundings. As the blackboard started to get damaged, Elodie felt sick to her stomach.
How much does Teacher Jane cherish that blackboard! Although most of the classes these days are conducted through Wizard view, Jane insisted on using the blackboard, saying it didn't suit her teaching method.
The pace and rhythm of Jane's explanation and the content written on the blackboard matched, and Elodie liked it very much. Jane was very pleased when Elodie told her directly.
'But dare you! You of all people!'
Screech...!
Smoke rose from Elodie's gauntlet. During the war, there was no need to control her strength, so she took it off, but not here.
Now is the time when power control is needed.
"Block this too! This time it's bigger!"
Swoosh!
The devil raised his axe high. Of course, it was to strike down.
However, there was no next move.
"Huh?"
The moment the devil held the axe, Elodie pointed her finger in front of both hands of the devil holding the axe. But the devil was unable to lower his arm as if he was blocked by a wall.
The perfectly exposed chest of the devil. Elodie's finger, no, the tip of her nail touches his vital point.
'It won't work with a finger. I'm going to blow up this classroom wall.'
Screech!!
Elodie's artifact screams. It's to handle her mana.
Although it's an artifact created to help Elodie control her power.
Somehow, it seems that Elodie started to give up power control more and more because of this artifact.

Vroom-
From the tip of Elodie's nail, a thin light that penetrates the devil and stretches beyond the classroom window.
It was light, so it made no sound.
The devil lowered his arm. He also dropped the axe.
Elodie left the devil alone and quickly ran behind him to check the window.
"......This much, well. It should be okay, right?"
Elodie stared at the window with her eyes slightly open, and found a small hole. It was so small that only someone like Elodie herself would notice it.
In the meantime, the devil's body, which had finally lost its balance, slowly tilted and fell with a thud.
Elodie didn't even glance at him and left the classroom.
"Let's move quickly. Something in the classroom might get damaged at this rate."
Unlike Aster, Elodie's mana detection recognizes the devils that are already spread out in all directions.
Of course, she didn't know they were devils until she fought them, but now they were flaunting their aura.
"What the hell? They all came together."
Elodie unfolded a triple concealment magic. It was the magic she used during the date of Frondier and Selena last time. Of course, Frondier noticed it, but it's not so shoddy that it would be noticed by the devils.
Elodie, unaware, had been discovered by the Frondier.
'...There are traps set up near the principal's office. They've planted quite a lot.'
She looked in the direction of Osprey's office with her eyes. She focused her mana detection more finely.
Then, the exact locations of the traps became visible. Most of them were installed on the doors.
'...The principal can use spatial magic through doors, so this must be a countermeasure against that. Then, going to the principal is indeed the right answer.'
...But wait.
The enemies know that the principal can use spatial magic, so they set up traps on the doors as a countermeasure.
Then why don't they do it to me?
Elodie pulled out her phone. She turned it on just in case, but as expected, neither texts nor calls were working.
Since the Sagephone is connected through magic, it can't be used while mana interference is occurring. In other words, the devils don't want information to be exchanged.
Even after doing all that.
"They don't take precautions against me?"
Elodie was a little upset. Elodie, too, had recently mastered a part of spatial magic.
Of course, she can't do something as incredible as connecting two spaces with a single door like Osprey.
At the very least, she can convey my voice to someone at this distance. Beyond mana interference.
[Director.]
[Oh, it's Elodie.]
Osprey's welcoming voice. Judging by the tone, Osprey seemed to be perfectly fine. She wasn't worried in the first place.
[Elodie, I'm sorry, but I have something to tell you right away.]
[I've been waiting for you to say that.]
[Could you go to Aten Terst? The devils are targeting her. It seems they're trying to pick the weakest person among the Frondier's associates.]
[...I see. That's what it is.]
Elodie understood the general situation with that one sentence.
As she was about to move to find Aten according to Osprey's words, she paused for a moment.
There was another question.
'...They're looking for the weakest person among Frondier's associates?'
That makes sense.
The enemies' goal would be a hostage from the Frondier, so it would be easier to capture someone much weaker.
But why Aten?
"......Ah, I see."
Elodie laughed softly.
She had figured out the identity of the subtle discomfort she had been feeling.
While being wary of Osprey's spatial magic, they were not wary of Elodie.
They were looking for the weakest person among the Frondier's associates, and that person was Aten Terst.
The conclusion that ties these two together.
"The update is slow."
