Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 355
Simon went around the Pentagonium to watch the event.
There were plenty of things to see such as a mecha undead demonstration and a lecture by a high-ranking summoner so I had a great time.
It was getting dark and I came home. Simon and Kazan decided to share one room and Serne the other.
After studying curses moderately I take out a book to sleep.
-Let’s talk for a minute.
Kazan summoned Simon.
Even if it wasn’t a dormitory the location to meet Kazan was the same. When I went up to the roof of the inn Kazan was looking up at the night sky.
‘Come to think of it today is also a full moon.’
Simon asked as he approached him.
“What about wine?”
“I’m on a mission right now.”
As Simon sat down on the seat next to him Kazan opened his mouth.
“I’ll go right back to the main topic. The reason I asked to see-“
His eyes flashed like blades.
“I have something to report on a mission.”
Simon swallowed and nodded.
* * *
the next morning.
The time of trouble has finally come.
“Wow my heart trembles!”
“My voice keeps cracking. What should I do?”
The morning routine was the 1st year necromancer student thesis presentation.
Simon was leaning against the wall and quickly leafing through the script of a pre-written thesis. He said Serne was late so Kazan went to see her.
“Oh~ You work hard? Kizen.”
At that time a male student wearing a checkered school uniform against a green background spoke up.
Simon recalled.
Arland 1st year was his name Benz? It was a boy who shook hands with his hand.
“Ah don’t be so wary. Today innocently without any other tricks-“
Chark!
He unfolded the thick thesis paper and held it up.
“Because I’ll compete only with my summoning skills.”
If that was the case it was welcome. Simon smiled and said.
“I’ll look forward to it. Benz.”
“!”
At that word Benz’s face turned red in embarrassment.
‘Ki it’s an honor that Kizen remembers my name…! Not!’
He suddenly mates his cheeks! match! hit it loudly
‘Don’t like this! Hurt my pride!’
Then he turned and looked at his reflection in a nearby glass window.
“Who am I?”
He muttered something to himself and smiled at himself in the mirror as he straightened his school uniform tie.
“A proud student of Aland.”
“….”
Simon decided to just pretend he didn’t see it.
“anyway!”
Benz who recharged his self-esteem pointed at Simon’s chest.
“This year’s thesis presentation at Pentamonium is the worst ever! Let’s be careful!”
“Why is this the worst ever?”
“Heh. I don’t know anything! Look there!”
In the direction Benz pointed his finger at there were three judges sitting.
“From the right Calavan of Source Hell Vintra of Papers Shredding Latoniya of Proof Musae.”
“What… what?”
“They’re the most notorious judges at the Pentamonium. It’s usually just one of those three but this year the trio terribly got together.”
Benz rubbed his shoulder like he was getting goosebumps.
“It wasn’t a joke yesterday either. All of our sophomores went mental saying that I’m nothing and that I need to think about the future again. There were also seniors crying bitterly in the dorm.”
“…is that enough?”
“They’re demons that eat away at your confidence.”
Having said that Benz let out a deep sigh.
“But aren’t we in a position to properly follow the black magic curriculum from this year? How original can you come out if you ask a student to write a thesis? This is a structure that has no choice but to be robbed.”
“hmm.”
“So I only prepared the most difficult words and logic so that the judges couldn’t understand…”
“What are you two doing?”
A sweet voice interrupted like the rustling of a spring breeze. Benz looked behind her and stepped back in surprise.
“You you…!”
With her ivory-colored hair fluttering like a pictorial Serene approached with her hands behind her back. Then she smiled like a fox and slightly bowed her back.
“Were you bullying Simon again?”
“Oh no! I…!”
Benz couldn’t speak properly because his lips were shaking.
This man was the sun. The feeling of being hit directly from the front without a shield against the light from the noble sun. Benz felt like he was being grilled like a crumpled squid from head to toe.
It’s embarrassing just to make eye contact. It’s uncomfortable being like this. She seemed to have to look up high at her. She seemed to have to lie flat on the floor and crawl.
“Serne.”
At that time Simon spoke in an admonishing tone.
“?”
When she smiled and turned her gaze to Simon Benz felt the tension in his chest disappear for the first time.
“Sir excuse me!”
Benz rushed down the stairs as if running away. Serene glanced at the back for a while before asking.
“What did you talk about?”
“Just about the thesis review.”
“Serne Eindark. This is the second warning.”
Kazan who followed sighed and said.
“If you use your strength for one more trivial matter I will report it to the superiors and send you back to Rock Island.”
“It’s too much~ I didn’t do anything and just stayed still!”
Serene’s lips pouted out but Kazan lightly ignored them.
Oddly enough Serne would jump right at Lorraine the daughter of Nephthys but tended to listen to Kazan in her own way.
Perhaps it was because Kazan was also on her recruiting list Simon guessed.
“Don’t sit down.”
So the first year thesis presentation began.
Among the Necromancer schools Sierra was the starting point. A first-year girl in her red school uniform was watching her surroundings crouching.
“I haven’t even started but it’s already dark before my eyes.”
Said Vintra of The Paper Shredding a judge sitting in the middle of the table.
“Yesterday sophomore year was the worst. Except for one student there wasn’t much going on.”
The judge sitting on the right Calavan from Source Hell said.
“It’s a terrible level but still like a professional don’t be swayed by emotions and judge fairly.”
The judge on the left Mr. Latoni said.
The judges were exchanging light jokes prior to the presentation but in the eyes of the students it was no different from a conversation between demons.
Vintra who sat in the middle said with a serious expression.
“Let’s begin.”
“Yes yes!”
After outputting the video with the mana crystal ball the female student put her hands on her chest and took a deep breath. She then opened her eyes wide and looked at her judges.
“I’m Ellaria Lekrel a freshman in Sierra majoring in Summoning. The subject I’ve researched is the habits and physiology of the undead ‘Kelin Ear’ in the swamps. And how to operate it.”
As soon as the words were finished the three judges leaned deeply against their backs with sullen expressions. The energy of ‘I’m not interested’ was already emanating from his facial expressions and gestures.
The Sierra female student was a little taken aback but continued her presentation without wavering.
“Kelin Ear is an undead that lives mainly in swamps and is mainly found in the territory of Kalos Kingdom. The body length is about 2-3 meters the length of the tail is 30 cm and the height of the shoulders is…”
“next.”
“Ah yes! I’m sorry! Dragonbone Ears are known to mutate into undead during the process of decomposing the corpses of monsters that have sunk into a swamp. Especially in a deep swamp…”
“next.”
“Keel ears are classified as skeletons but due to their nature restoration techniques cannot be used. Instead-“
“next!”
The students who had prepared their presentations were not even given a chance to speak properly. The girl’s pupils began to shake anxiously.
However like a necromancer student she went out boldly. She skipped 80% of the content and turned her thesis over to the back page. The judges brought out information that they would be curious about.
“Please look at the printed screen. This is the formula for summoning the dragon bone ear that I made in advance.”
Only then did the judges correct their posture.
“As you can see the key rune word is ‘funeral’. And the formula that supports it is-“
“for a moment.”
This time Calavan from ‘Source Hell’ said. Her eyes flashed through her glasses.
“I know there is already a research paper on making keel ears using Jangsong rune. Please tell me the source.”
“Chu the source…!”
While the female student was confused Calavan opened the subspace and manipulated the magic circle and several documents popped out.
It was enlarged so that the spectators could see it using magnification magic.
“< Assembly-oriented modeling methodology for the design of Keel’s Ear and < Summoning Interpretation of Funeral Rune Words >. Even if you simply search there are two. Ellaria students? What is the difference between these two theses and yours?”
The crowd started to murmur and Ellaria stuttered.
“Mu of course there is a pre-existing thesis related to burial mounds and keel ears! I converted the strain and rotation values of the equations to the Kandal formula…!”
“Prove it.”
This time Latoni the ‘proofless bird’ intervened.
“Please rationally prove why you thought the Kandal formula and the design of the keel ears fit together.”
“Ah ah yes!”
She hurriedly scribbled some math on the blackboard but Latoni snorted.
“It is visible that he forcibly inserted his thoughts based on the existing < Jangsong Rune Word Summoning Interpretation > paper.”
“yes yes?”
“I will prove why the author of this paper did simple calculations without using the Kandal formula.”
Latoni got up and started writing formulas on the blackboard. The student thesis presentation suddenly turned into class time.
The irony of judges teaching presenters. However there was no way a single student could break his words as one of the elders of Pentamonium.
Even after she was robbed by Latoni the attack continued.
“Why didn’t you cite the formula?”
“That’s not how you treat Keel Ear. Have you tried actually assembling a Keel Ear corpse?”
“What the hell do you teach kids in Sierra?”
The judges were like hyenas. Even if she showed the slightest loophole she relentlessly bit and scolded to death.
Just looking at the female student’s bewildered expression I could tell that her mentality was cracked.
“I will tell you the results of the evaluation.”
Finally Vintra of Tearing Papers lifted up the female student’s thesis.
“Trash. Zero points.”
Then in front of the female student’s eyes he began tearing the paper to pieces. She scattered the shredded papers at her feet and said coldly.
“Didn’t you think of the pentamonium too easily?
“Don’t think too much.”
Source Calavan of Hell spoke coldly.
“Without minimal preparation sincerity and worry fill in the obvious. You were the one who ignored Pentamonium first.”
While the audience was quiet the female student lowered her head like a criminal and went down the stairs. As her friends ran over and patted her on the back the tears she had been holding back eventually spilled out.
‘I think it’s a bit harsh.’
Simon who was sitting in the crowd and watching distorted his impression.
Of course it was true that Ellaria’s thesis had shortcomings but she wondered if it was necessary to push a student learning black magic to such an extent.
bang!
Vintra of Tearing Papers slapped the table with the palm of her hand and opened her mouth.
“Today has been extremely unpleasant from the start! Next!”
* * *
As the order passed the atmosphere in the venue became more bloody.
“Trash. Zero points. Next!”
Scraps of papers torn to shreds littered the podium floor.
“This is a thesis right now! You know it as a school homework!”
“This is why the generation of peace is the problem! When I was a student from beginning to end…!”
“Leaving aside everything else there is no sincerity or courtesy. Isn’t it normal to know the basic form for the Pentamonium thesis?”
tal tal tal.
Like a threshing machine the mentality of the students on the podium was ground. Sierra Arland and Moiran couldn’t avoid such a blade.
at least
“It’s better at least.”
Moiran’s male student.
Yesterday the boy who talked about overthrowing Kizen in front of Simon got a pretty good rating.
“It’s still lacking a lot but at least it’s the best among them.”
“Where do we want something big? Even if we do this much we’ll just get over it.”
For the first time I got my thesis back without being torn by Bintra of the Paper Shredder.
The male student who came down after receiving a small round of applause from the crowd was naturally looking at Simon.
“Now it’s their turn.”
Vintra of the Blindfolder crossed his arms and said.
“Come up Kizen!”
