Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 303
“First of all I would like to introduce the necromancer who will host the 4th BMAT.”
Aaron’s expression hardened a little when he turned over the script in his hand and saw the next content but he continued talking without showing much expression.
“The hottest necromancer of this era. A genius administrator born in the Kingdom of Langastine Burnett’s “Most Influential Man of the Week” “The Necromancer Who Wants You to Put Your Arm Around My Waist” and.”
Aaron’s voice which had been skimming through it became serious at this time.
“One of the 10 Mysteries of the Continent.”
Loaf loaf loaf!
On the podium people dressed in clown costumes burst out blowing trumpets and playing various musical instruments.
Suddenly the entire auditorium went into a festive mood.
The troupe members sang and danced to the upbeat music that moved their shoulders. In particular when two clowns appeared tumbling in the air the students applauded with delight.
Phew! Phew!
Suddenly the lights suddenly brightened and a splendid fireworks show unfolded from the ceiling.
While everyone was distracted by the show on the ceiling someone was walking towards the center of the podium.
“Let me introduce you.”
said Aaron.
“This is the nickname ‘Necromancer of Cards’ Mr. Endolas Vaudeville.”
There were so many cards that I couldn’t count all of them scattered in the sky making various animal shapes. Finally the cards created a door on the stage and Endolas appeared through it.
He wore white makeup all over his face and green paint around his eyes. He wore a very high-brimmed hat with a bunch of vicious curls sticking out from the sides giving a ridiculous impression.
Soon the music stopped and the man raised his arms and a loud applause came out.
“Greetings dear Kezen students! I am Endolas Vaudeville!”
He took the hat with his index finger and thumb lifted it slightly and saluted. There was a lot of showmanship in every action.
“It’s the real Endolas!”
Dick exclaimed excitedly.
Simon of course was the first to hear of it. But Dick as well as he was looking ahead with a surprised face even Meirin and Kami Barez unlike usual.
“Who who are you?”
Simon asked cautiously. Dick giggled and tapped Simon on the arm.
“You’re a friend worth explaining.”
“…shut up.”
Simon replied blushing as if embarrassed. Dick spoke again.
“You know the 10 mysteries of the continent right?”
“I know the concept but I don’t know what all 10 are.”
“That’s enough. Of those 10 mysteries two are human-related and one of them is him.”
Simon blinked.
“So who’s the other one?”
Dick replied with a grin.
“Death Witch!”
Endolas Vaudeville who received the amplification crystal from his minion began his speech.
“Thank you for welcoming me! I am also honored to meet the continent’s best elites who will lead the future of the Dark Federation! And above all!”
He pointed to his chest with his thumb.
“I am pleased to announce that I Endolas Vaudville will host this ‘4th BMAT’!”
Aaaaaaaaaa!
The students responded with great cheers.
Endolas spread his palms and the cards that emerged from his palms all flew into the air and created magic.
“My ability is to create a special ‘room’ with this card.”
The light shimmered from the cards creating various scenes on the ceiling.
A moving castle on legs a labyrinth full of snakes a dragon’s rare fire and a room piled with gold.
“As I imagined! As I imagined! Any adventure can be recreated! You can enter the world of cards and choose the adventure you want to enjoy!”
You choose the adventure you want?
What do you mean?
“I’ll give a supplementary explanation in a moment.”
Aaron gave a signal and the minions activated the mana projectors unfurling a large screen in the center.
“The test locations for the 4th BMAT are the 1st year campus of Keyzen and all of Rock Island. Endolas himself hid 2000 cards on the island.”
The location of the 2000 cards on the map of Roch Island came to mind as an example.
“If you ever find a card you can enter the ‘room’ it created and take the test.”
On the center screen a minion who had entered the library at Roksum was shown stepping on a card and slipping into it.
Soon the screen changed. Before I knew it the minion had fallen somewhere in the woods. He saw monsters running towards him.
“When you enter the room the conditions for clearing the test will appear. In the current case you must defeat 30 kobolds within 20 minutes. Students who successfully pass the test like that can obtain the card.”
Turning the document Aaron was holding to the next page he continued.
“The basic condition is to have 6 or more cards in hand at the moment the test ends. 5 or less cards will be expelled as substandard. At least 50 people will be expelled for this test so be careful.”
Simon who was listening to the explanation nodded with his eyes shining. This 4th BMAT was a card battle.
“Now now! I Endolas the game organizer will explain again!”
Endolas stepped forward and waved his hand. Soon the screen changed and various card colors were displayed.
“Each card has a different color. I would appreciate it if you could refer to the rulebook I made for this part!”
The fireworks show from the ceiling stopped and books rained down on each student one by one.
Simon also reached out and brought one of them.
“Endolas’ Game Rulebook”
Simon opened the flat square rulebook. In fact it was not a book but a piece of paper folded in several layers.
Opening it wide a map of Roch Island and a detailed description of the game appeared.
Meirin who was reading the explanation smiled.
“I thought it would be complicated but it sounds like a lot of fun!”
First of all the cards had seven colors.
red – occult
Orange – Jet Black Mechanics
Yellow – Summoning
Green – Necromancer
blue – hematology
Indigo – Blind Doxology
purple – mattology
Cards of each color are matched with a specific subject.
For example if you get a red card the possibility of a game related to curses increases.
In addition the color of the card that appears in each section of Roch Island is also differentiated.
For example green cards come out well in the forest and orange cards come out well in the Keyzen Campus.
These details were something students had to figure out for themselves as they progressed through the game.
“Wow! This is a really fun reservation!”
exclaimed Dick who was looking at the rulebook.
“There is also a siege theme! 30 people divided into siege and defense teams to fight!”
“Here here! A fairy race theme would be fun too!”
‘hmm.’
Simon was watching the ‘skeleton assembly showdown with the undertaker’ theme. I really wanted to try this.
“Oh hey idiots! Look at the back page instead of that!”
Maylin said.
“Even cards have combinations!”
“really?”
Basically 1 point per card. However if you collect all 7 cards with only red cards +3 points are added.
“hmm.”
Dick put on a troubled expression.
“In this case we should strategize well rather than randomly collecting cards.”
Simon was also looking at the explanation of the card combinations in the rulebook.
‘Other combinations are fine let’s look at the top.’
The score of the card combination increased as you went up.
Red orange green and blue.
Gather all the cards to make 7 cards. Score x2.
14 points.
And on top of that if you add the ‘Golden Card’ in addition to the PuljunoChopanambo if you have 8 cards score x3.
A whopping 24 points!
As long as it was completed the top 10 ranking was a definite combination.
However no explanation was given for the golden card. It was only said that it could be obtained during the game.
Of course even if I couldn’t find the golden card it wasn’t bad because it was 14 points.
‘good.’
Simon made a decision.
‘The competition will be tough but of course it’s right to aim for the best combination and prepare.’
“Now pay attention!”
At Aaron’s voice the students who were immersed in the game rule book raised their heads.
“I’ll give you plenty of time to strategize so everyone fold the rulebook and put it on your lap.”
The students made a sad sound of ‘Ah-‘. Aaron’s eyes lit up.
“Put it on.”
There were no two protests. As the students told me I put the rule book on my lap.
“Hmm Kizen is too forceful.”
Endolas made a disapproving look.
“Students are focusing on my game like that!”
“I’m sorry. I have to finish the notice.”
Aaron bowed his head and apologized politely then looked at the students again.
“If you play Endolas’s game once you’ll get a feel for it right away. But there is an important notice.”
Aaron looked around at the students and then continued.
“As you have heard rumors several controversies about BMAT are emerging. The entire curriculum for the second semester revolves around BMAT and subject progress and performance evaluations are piled up. In the first place you too will be moved to second grade if your performance evaluation score is low. I cannot advance.”
At the word of promotion to the 2nd grade everyone’s faces were tense.
“So Keygen is thinking of introducing a new method. So-called.”
Aaron’s mouth opened.
“It’s BMAT after school.”
BMAT after school.
Since this was a new concept again everyone hung their heads and focused on Aaron’s story.
“Originally the 4th BMAT was scheduled to be conducted as a fierce card competition to be held in Rock Island for 2 nights and 3 days under the supervision of Endolas.”
‘…Three days and two nights?’
The students made dizzy faces. Some students like Kamibarez breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other hand the host Endolas was turning his head with his arms crossed with an expression full of regret.
“Keygen has become so comfortable! Eh tsk. Shrinking the game…!”
Endolas grumbled dissatisfiedly but there was no room for change as it was an agenda that had even been approved by Nephthys.
Aaron continued his explanation.
“As I said before the entire second semester tends to flow too much toward the BMAT. So at our school we plan to conduct the BMAT only twice a week for four hours after school to relieve students’ burden and focus on their subjects.”
Simon nodded. Listening to it like this really eased the burden.
“But no.”
Dick on the other hand was resting his chin on something disapproving.
“If that’s the case you’re saying we’re going to cut our break time and do BMAT. This is a bit…”
“There are also students who will be dissatisfied with this.”
Dick shut his mouth with a prickly expression at Aaron’s continued words.
“So I’m trying to relieve you of one important burden.”
Aaron picked up a new document and read it.
“I will replace the 2nd grade promotion test with the 5th BMAT.”
“Wow!”
Exclamations of joy erupted from everywhere.
It was also rumored that the sophomore promotion test was notorious. If it was removed of course it would have been a great welcome.
“Of course the difficulty of the 5th BMAT will increase accordingly. As an aside as a result of running the simulation at Keygen Headquarters based on your level of skill at the time of the 3rd BMAT if the current quota of 797 people proceeds to the 5th BMAT.”
Aaron lowered the papers and looked at the students and said coldly.
“We predicted that at least 500 people would drop out due to falling short of the standard.”
Hugs buzzes buzzes!
The students’ faces went white.
“So the guidelines of Keygen Headquarters are as follows. In this 4th BMAT and performance evaluation season at least 1.5 times improvement in skills. The faculty also accepted this. In other words the meal you just ate-“
A dark smile crept across Aaron’s lips.
“Think of it as the Last Supper. It’s going to be even harder in the future.”
“….”
At that time a quiet tension lingers in the auditorium.
“Such an insult! I can’t take it any longer!”
Card’s necromancer Endolas raised his voice.
“Right now the 4th BMAT is just around the corner so why are you mentioning the 5th already! Let the students fully focus on my game Professor Aaron!”
It seemed that Endolas had also accumulated a lot.
“There must be a big conflict between Endolas and the faculty.”
Dick quietly whispered to Simon.
“Endolas is a person who is very proud of his ‘game’ and the faculty wants students to focus on their lessons. Something like that.”
“hmm.”
Simon nodded in agreement with Dick’s explanation.
Aaron also obediently ignored it as an apology.
“This is all the professors have to say. From now on if you have anything you want to say to the students feel free to do so.”
“Keuhmmmm!”
Then Endolas came forward with a satisfied smile.
