Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 218
“Teacher get ready.”
As Aaron chinned the male assistant ran to the track panting with a sword.
The teaching assistant stopped walking quite a distance from the starting point of the track.
Aaron took out a skeleton from subspace. It was just a common Irish Ratman Skeleton that could be found anywhere.
The skeleton stood at the starting point of the track with a sword.
‘What are you trying to do?’
Simon and all the students were looking at the skeleton with puzzled eyes.
I saw the skeleton bend its knees and raise its heels. It’s like preparing for a rush.
Tsupat!
The skeleton standing at the starting point disappeared in a frenzy. The students around me screamed softly and crouched or held onto their skirts.
“!”
At this time Simon saw it clearly with his own two eyes.
The skeleton at the starting point reached the front of the teaching assistant who was over 20m away with a single charge. The skeleton swung the sword with even the power of a rush.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
A roar that was unbelievable that a skeleton swung.
The teaching assistant who received the attack was pushed to the surface and rolled several laps on the track before falling to a halt.
Chaaaak.
The skeleton that landed on the floor pretended to point a sword at the fallen trainer. The teaching assistant was sitting on the floor shaking his head with a half-fazed expression.
“Skeleton Dash.”
Aaron spoke amid the silence of the astonished students.
“It’s a special dash used by skeletons.”
Wow-!
Exclamations and applause poured in from all directions.
Simon who was clapping his hands seemed to be itching already.
“Quiet.”
In an instant the surroundings became quiet.
“If you thought black magic was the exclusive property of necromancers you were mistaken. Necromancers can command the undead they control to use black magic as well. If you advance your level a little further you’ll be able to deal with magical undead like the Skeleton Mage. that can be done.”
Laughter flowed from Simon’s teeth. Meirin who was standing next to him flinched and turned to him.
“Hey! What is that creepy laugh?”
“No I just like it.”
I thought black magic was very wide and vast. I felt happy just knowing that I still had so much to learn.
Simon came to his senses and listened to Aaron’s explanation again.
“Of course it won’t be easy but if you master this technique you can catch priests and other opponents as much as you like with skeletons. Got it?”
“yes!!”
Certainly if a skeleton can use that level of rush it is possible to preemptively attack or pressurize before the Priest’s divinity pours out.
It was as if Monster A holding a sword turned into a high-speed shell loaded with live ammunition. Everyone wanted to learn this skill.
“Then let’s go straight to practice.”
Teaching assistants moved busily and installed straw bales tied to poles throughout the track. It was the same thing that knights often used to practice swordsmanship.
“The principle of Skeleton Dash is not difficult. To put it very simply think of it as the feeling of commanding a Skeleton connected to your thoughts to ‘step on the pitch black’.”
The magical principle ended with adding a small formula next to the ‘summoning magic circle’ drawn on the skeleton’s skull.
Now guide and concentrate the skeleton’s jet-black under your feet and let the jet-black explode and shoot forward.
It certainly wasn’t a difficult principle but doing it yourself was another matter.
After giving detailed tips on commanding black magic to the undead Aaron set the students on the track and had them practice.
“let’s begin!”
The first to step out confidently was Meirin. She ordered her charge as she let the skeleton hold her sword.
Tsupat!
The skeleton stepped on the jet black and flew up properly. I could hear the cheers of the students watching.
“As expected the elite!”
“Is it a success on the first try?”
However it was good to explode jet-black from under the skeleton’s feet but the leg bones were shattered and scattered due to the strong pressure.
In the end her skeleton was blown off the lower body and only the upper body fell in front of the rice straw. It was a fiasco.
‘Ugh.’
Mei Lin’s face turned red and Dick and other students poured out loud laughter.
“Puhahaha!”
“I told you to practice and you developed a completely different technique!”
“Is it a new technique that sacrifices the entire lower body in one charge?”
Then Dick put his hand to his mouth like a megaphone and shouted.
“Maylin original! Lower body break!”
Red-faced she picked up a bone from the floor and threw it at Dick.
“Ugh! Let’s see how good you guys are!”
After harshly threatening her classmates she glanced at Aaron.
Of course I thought I would be scolded but Aaron’s expression was surprisingly not bad.
“It was good for a first try. This is top of the line.”
“yes yes?”
Meilin narrowed her eyes in embarrassment.
“It’s a problem that happens when you focus on the dash and neglect the state of the skeleton.”
Aaron explained pointing at his shin and ankle in turn.
“If you go out with strong force it’s natural that this side is overworked. People’s muscles are overloaded but skeletons just collapse. Next time while trying to charge pay attention to the bonds between the bones of the lower body.”
“Go thank you!”
Mei Lin bowed her head and said ‘Did you see Dick and the students making fun of her?’ I looked down with a look. their mouths swelled up.
the following turns.
There was a reason why Aron said to Meilin ‘This is the top level’. Most of the students couldn’t even send the skeleton forward and fell to the ground from the start.
Other than that I managed to charge but there were also cases where I jumped in place instead of in front.
At the same time as rushing all the bones of the skeleton were blown away and there was also a case where the bone spear was unintentionally driven into rice straw.
“I’m Toto Amori!”
As an aspiring student of summoning science Toto who was expected in this class also failed. The skeleton’s body remained intact but only its feet flew off and touched the rice straw.
Another big laugh erupted around and the nickname ‘Toto Original – Skull Kick’ was born.
“Well done. Top rank.”
“Go thank you.”
Aaron praised it but Toto who really wanted to look good was a little discouraged.
Aaron opened his mouth.
“There is no need to be discouraged. I must say no student ever succeeds on the first attempt…”
oh oh oh oh oh!!
At that time fierce cheers erupted from the track where the teaching assistants were practicing. Aaron and Toto’s heads also turned in the direction of the sound.
It was Simon’s turn.
The skeleton he sent was shot out in a straight line and as he swung his sword the straw split in half and fell to the floor.
A skeleton stopped on the track in a slashing stance straightened his posture and raised his sword and Simon who was standing at the starting point of the track could be seen clenching his fists in joy.
“….”
“….”
When Toto turned his head to see Aaron Aaron averted his gaze and cleared his throat.
“…Don’t mind that guy he’s just a madman.”
* * *
‘Once more.’
Simon was focused on honing a new technique after a long time. The skeleton returned from the track and stood at the starting point again.
The skeleton’s pitch black flowed from the skull and moved from bone to bone concentrating on the toes. In that state bend your knees and assume a jumping position.
‘With the sense of stepping on the jet-black.’
I remember the first time I took a Mathuhak class.
But now in the second semester I’m not stepping on the pitch black I’m making the skeleton do it. This was a different issue.
Simon who was slowly raising his concentration opened his eyes wide and activated the absolute command.
‘Fly!’
Taat!
The skeleton kicked off the floor and flew up. You can see the dust flying around where the skeleton used to be and a black trace spreading out.
The skeleton leaped 10 meters and swung the sword as it was cutting through the rice straw.
Wow!
Exclamations poured out from the students who were watching. The summoning assistant holding the paper board checked the records.
“10 meters leap. Cut through the target! Very good.”
I thought it was a really good technique. Looking at it again being able to reduce the distance from an opponent by 10M at once with that undead that only has bones is ridiculous utility.
but.
‘Something is unfortunate.’
Compared to the first attempt the distance itself increased but Simon was still not satisfied. I walked to my destination and inspected the rice straw I had just cut.
‘I couldn’t completely cut it and only slightly brushed the tip.’
If you use the absolute command to give a dash command you can dramatically increase the skeleton’s dash speed and stability. But the details were the problem.
When an absolute command is used the skeleton focuses only on the realization of the command to ‘fly’. By concentrating on using just one move the concentration when attacking the most important target is lost.
As soon as we found the problem we immediately came up with ways to improve it.
‘Then this time with two absolute commands!’
Simon made two attempts in quick succession.
fly → cut
fly and cut
The results were all failures. The former focuses on the first absolute command ‘fly’ and ‘slash’ is buried.
The latter gave two absolute commands at the same time so the skeleton just focused on flying.
Satisfactory success did not come out and failure was repeated but Simon rather came more.
‘I’m going to break this wall somehow in today’s class!’
There was one person who had been glancing at and caring about Simon who was developing faster than anyone else.
‘As expected he succeeded.’
At the sight of Simon using the dash as if showing off Hector’s desire to compete like wildfire began to burn.
“Student Hector Moore? Start.”
At the instructor’s words Hector returned his gaze to his skeleton. Even the assistant who was watching from the side flinched at those fiery eyes.
‘There’s nothing I can’t do. Whatever he does I can do it too.’
Hector stretched out his right arm and commanded the skeleton to dash.
Boo woo woo!
The skeleton used a dash and cut the rice straw 5 meters away. The factions watching from behind shouted fervently.
“As expected Hector!”
“You’re different from the other kids… Huh?”
Suddenly the cliques fell silent. Same with Hector.
His head was boiling with annoyance.
“It’s a failure.”
The teaching assistant put a check mark on the paper board and said.
The dash and attack itself were successful but the skeleton’s foot bones were blown off. The skeleton also fell on the ground because it had no feet after cutting the rice straw.
“briefing.”
Hector stared at his assistant and said.
“please.”
His voice was dripping with anger and resentment. The assistant shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
The young man is no joke.
“I think the bonds between bones have been established properly. However because we were so excited and eager to get ahead the control of the undead was momentarily shaken and the bonds became dull. Why don’t we relax a little more and try?”
At that Hector immediately took out a new skeleton and set it on the starting line. I closed my eyes and slowly calmed down my excitement.
‘Empty your mind. Get away from useless thoughts and only look forward.’
Hector’s eyes slowly opened. Now he could only see rice straw 10 meters away.
‘liver….’
“Waaaaaa!”
“You Simon! This time it’s 11 meters!”
“Awesome Simon!”
Whoops!
Hector’s skeleton disintegrated into eight bodies at the same time as he jumped. The sword in his hand was embedded in the rice straw but the skeleton was shattered and scattered on the floor.
“Aaaaaaaaa!!”
Hector erupted in anger like an active volcano.
