The Academy’s Weapon Replicator

"You see, I'm proud of Frondier. I'm proud to be with Frondier. As a homeroom teacher who has been with you all along. There are parts I respect as a human being. Really?"

"......Thank you."

"But there's one thing I really regret. Why is there always something happening around Frondier? And why is it always not small but big?"

"......I'm sorry."

In the faculty room, I was listening to Jane's praise, lament, nagging, and grumbling. Since all of it is sincere, I can only be grateful and sorry for her words.

"So...... Cain. You don't have a last name. Just Cain?"

Jane asked, looking at Cain next to her.

Cain wasn't particularly arrested or anything for causing a big accident. For now, she is very quiet, and there was no particular damage.

If I had to say, there were some scorch marks on the walls and floor from the flames caused by Sybil.

Just that alone was enough to knock out one of Constel's teachers who was confronting the shepherd of Manggot, and throw two students, the main characters of the war, into confusion. I feel the power of it anew.

"Yes. I don't have a surname. It's Cain."

Cain answered politely, which was quite different from her charge at me.

Seeing Cain like that, Jane tilted her head for a moment.

"...That's rare these days."

Then I asked.

"Did they exist in the past?"

"After the monster war. Not all families had courage at that time. Especially, many nobles who had the duty to protect their territories ran away. After the war, the names of such families became infamous, so...."

So, it's better to have no family name.

But in this world, if you don't have a family name, you are usually treated lower than commoners.

The most common punishment for criminals who commit serious crimes in this world is the loss of their surname. Regardless of commoners or nobles.

Being treated as a criminal would have been better, I guess the name of the family who fled from the war at that time was dangerous.

There, Jane glanced at Cain.

Cain nodded calmly.

"My grandfather said the same thing. That's why he abandoned the castle. He said it's better not to be tied to something pathetic."

"Zodiac Heldre...."

Heldre was a vicious criminal before becoming a Zodiac. The fact that he has no castle means that he had already fallen when he was a criminal. Heldre would have rather welcomed that. R̃ΆＮỘ฿ÈS

Considering the reversal from a criminal to a Zodiac, I can't even guess how many numbers Heldre annihilated during the monster war.

'I beat such a guy well, me.'

While I was thinking that, Jane asked Cain.

"So, did you come to take revenge on Frondier?"

Heldre's death was very ambiguous at the time. It was not clear who killed him or how he died.

Of course, that was the case at the time, and in the current situation where the evaluation has been reversed, many people think that I killed Heldre. The circumstances are likely to have been so.

And it's as if I killed him. He died from Renzo's blow, but I created that situation.

However, Cain shook her head.

"I didn't come for revenge on my grandfather. I know what he's been up to, and it's been a long time."

"Then?"

"I came to settle the score with the Frondier. I didn't even plan to attack at first, I just wanted to check where he was and come back later."

Saying that, Cain glared at my face sharply.

"Seeing your relaxed and languid face suddenly made me lose my temper."

"…You attacked someone for that reason?"

"Hmph. I didn't intend to kill."

I know. There was no intention to kill. That's why I tied her up neatly with the Obsidian. I am confident that not a single wound was inflicted.

Jane asked.

"What did you come to settle?"

"…"

At that point, Cain bowed her head. Her hands and shoulders trembled as if she was holding back her anger.

"Hey! You!!!"

No, she didn't hold back.

Cain shouted as if pouring out all her anger at me.

"Why did you lie to me!"

"Lie?"

"You said the Emperor was dying!!"

"……!"

I opened my mouth in surprise. Not because I realized what my lie was.

Because this was the staff room, and not only Jane but all sorts of teachers were here,

And Cain's voice was loud enough to echo throughout the entire building.

"When you said the Emperor was dying, I, uh! Uh!"

I hurriedly covered Cain's mouth with my hand.

But it was a hasty measure, and Jane looked at me as if she was more suspicious.

"……What was that just now, Frondier?"

She wasn't the only one.

Several of the teachers in the staff room who heard this came up to me.

And among them, there was the worst opponent.

"Really, it's scary to eavesdrop."

A knight of the Imperial Palace and a teacher.

The mischievous Pascal Schilitz.

"Interesting story, isn't it? Student Frondier."

He approached me with a still lively smile.

The deep shadow in that smile is too scary.

"There's a misunderstanding, Teacher Pascal. I didn't mean it like that."

"Oh? So it's not 'I didn't say it,' but 'I didn't mean it like that'?"

Oops.

I realized my slip of the tongue and quickly changed my aim to Cain.

"Hey! How can you say it like that! It sounds like I'm wishing for His Majesty's death!"

"Uh! Uh-uh!"

"... Frondier. You have to untie her mouth for her to answer."

Jane made a valid argument.

It was valid, but I really didn't want to untie Cain's mouth.

However, staying like this would only deepen my suspicion, so I had no choice but to retrieve the Obsidian again.

As soon as her mouth was opened, this is what Cain said.

"He's called 'Your Majesty' here! When he's with me, he's the Emperor, even using his name!"

"Hey!!"

"Where did that smug expression go when you were with me?! Try lying here too! You liar!"

Could it be that my greatest enemy in this world is Cain?

I can't beat that sincere look of injustice in her eyes. Because that's not an act.

"You clearly said that! That the Emperor would die!"

"So, that's..."

"That the Emperor would die, and the next Emperor would abolish the caste system!"

"......!"

At that moment, the atmosphere in the office changed.

The space that had been filled with a joking air until a while ago had completely swept away such a messy mood.

Pascal's smile faded.

It was a clear sign of 'warning'.

"It was for that reason that Aster was supposed to be the main character of the war! Only if a commoner becomes a representative can the caste system be overturned!"

"......Hey, wait a minute."

"Why are you the main character!"

Whether Cain knew this atmosphere or not, she kept shouting in the frozen office.

"You're 'Roach', aren't you! You fool!"
