Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 742
that evening.
Headquarters of the Holy Federation of the Bahilla Front.
Israfil wrote a letter on the spot and hung it on a divine pigeon. It immediately arrived at the headquarters of the Bahilla Front.
“Archbishop!”
The letter was immediately delivered to the Archbishop commander-in-chief of the front lines and he opened the seal and read the contents.
“Who is this letter from?”
A man in the same room asked while resting his chin. The archbishop narrowed his eyes with a strange expression.
“It was sent by an officer named Israfil.”
“I’ve heard of it. It’s the trickster who goes with the Miracle Saint. What’s wrong?”
“Let’s see.”
The Archbishop slowly read through the letter.
“Writing a letter out of concern for the saintess? Heh heh!”
“…?”
“Leaving the command without permission from the central government. Tryst with a man at the escaped place. All of this is not Saint Anna’s fault but because of the seducedness of Lena who she took in as an attendant? Hahahaha!”
The archbishop laughed loudly as if he were watching his granddaughters joke. The man I was with also laughed.
“That’s an interesting report.”
“Saint Anna had this kind of side too yes! I’ve been worried a lot since she only did what she was told to do like a machine but it was a pointless worry.”
Having said that the archbishop brushed his beard with a darkened face for a moment.
“My daughter-in-law is also with that bastard…”
“Please stop talking about your daughter.”
The man quickly cut off and continued.
“Anyway. Regardless of the seriousness of the job this is a formal report from an officer and it is also true that the saintess who should set an example for all people should be held accountable. The headquarters has an obligation to take appropriate measures.”
“Okay. There’s no need to make a big deal out of it.”
The Archbishop waved his hand.
“It’s a long war that has been going on for nearly 100 years. Everyone from laymen to high-ranking priests has reached the limit of dissatisfaction and fatigue. If you tighten it too much the followers can’t breathe.”
“Then what would you like to do?”
“Send someone to bring the saintess. But there’s no need to interrogate. Later I’ll go down and talk to the saintess myself. If you tell me well you’ll understand.”
The story ended there. The Archbishop intended to finish by talking to Anna in moderation at his own discretion.
but.
“….”
The man who had been talking with the archbishop quietly slipped outside and took up the communications orb.
“This is the Bahilla Federation Headquarters. Respond.”
Chijik!
A muffled voice echoed from the crystal ball amidst the murmur of noise.
-What’s going on?
“A variable has occurred. Jonah and Anna’s meeting is taking place in an unexpected area. History is about to return to its original state.”
Chijik!
-It’s difficult. Is it because of who Nephthys sent?
“The cause is unknown. However according to the circumstances the person named ‘Lena’ is suspicious.”
-i get it. I’ll go there myself so wait.
The man slowly lowered his head.
“For a union.”
– For a union.
* * *
Time passed and Richard and Anna returned to the orphanage across the sea.
After kissing the two of them somehow became indifferent.
Anna in particular was so shy that she couldn’t even look into Richard’s eyes properly.
‘I’m going to die.’
Meanwhile Richard was showing symptoms of mana depletion.
Spirit magic was a technology that was gradually dying out on the continent like the ‘Auror’ of knights or ‘Pure Magic’ of wizards. The reason is of course that it is less efficient than pitch black or divine.
Even Yona the commander of the corps and the best talent of the Dark Alliance had to consume a considerable amount of internal energy to travel to the sea with two spirit dragons.
nevertheless.
“It was so much fun.”
If it was for the smile in front of her would mana be a problem now?
He might be willing to give up his life thought Richard.
“Did you feel any discomfort?”
“yes!”
“Thank God. Now before the director notices we’ll go back to our dorms.”
The two held hands and walked through the garden side by side.
Only 10 minutes to the accommodation.
But I don’t want this short garden to end forever thought Richard.
“Richard might be right.”
Suddenly Anna said so.
“It’s been a while since I did something with my will. When was the last time I made a decision the way I wanted the way I felt. Maybe this is the first time.”
“…Ayla.”
she laughed bashfully.
“But today which went astray just once was the most special and shining day of my life having lived the same way my whole life.”
Richard said with a slightly serious face.
“Today isn’t everything. Keep challenging like that.”
“yes?”
“Little by little little by little little by little. It’s like being in control of my life. Don’t let others sway my decisions. Ayla does what she wants.”
Anna’s eyes folded into half moons.
“Thank you Richard are you worried about anything?
“I’m worried.”
Richard stared blankly at the sky for a moment.
“I’m troubled exactly the opposite of Ayla.”
“which?”
“When I was young I too lived a life of being caught and forced by my family. Then I ran away from home and after that I don’t know if it was compensation psychology or retaliation psychology but I lived recklessly as I pleased.”
he closed his eyes
“If you live like that you might break your nose once but strangely I was lucky. The world was easy. I thought that the whole world was a stage for me and I did whatever I felt like and I won and won. But-“
Richard stretched his arms.
“I suddenly looked back and it was empty.”
“ah.”
“I can’t really attach my heart to anything. Even though I work hard I quickly get tired of it so I go looking for something else that looks interesting and after living like that before I know it I don’t have anything precious left. At this age I already feel remorse.”
“Is that so? Then.”
Anna smiled warmly and held Richard’s hand tightly.
“I need to find a place to put my heart.”
“Where to put your heart?”
“Whether it’s a place an organization a person or a memory create a place to return to one day. A place where I can rest my weary heart where I can be as comfortable as I want to be without worrying or paying anything.”
“….”
Richard stared blankly into Anna’s face.
a place to return to someday
A place to rest your weary heart.
It is a place where I want to be without any worries or costs.
There was nothing like that for Richard after he left his family and hometown. He was only going through everything and was a stepping stone that was used and discarded for his own growth.
I hadn’t even thought of the need for something like that.
It feels like air is going through a clogged brain.
“Thanks for the good advice Ayla.”
“I’m glad I was helpful.”
I don’t think I’ve walked much but I see an inn in front of me.
‘Shit.’
I didn’t want to end it.
Richard was willing to do so if the devil appeared in front of him and asked if he would sell his soul for ten more minutes of lodging.
I wanted to talk more with her.
I wanted to be with you even for a few more seconds.
Unfortunately the footsteps brought the two of them to their destination.
“….”
“….”
moment of parting.
There was an awkward silence between the two for a while in front of the hostel.
“Richard.”
“yes.”
“Even if it’s small and trivial little by little. You said to do whatever you want right?”
“Yes it was.”
“I’m going to practice now.”
Having said that Anna lifted her toes.
He kissed Richard’s cheek lightly.
‘!’
Richard felt his thoughts freeze.
Her hair turned white and her surroundings melted like sweet sugar.
Anna whose cheeks were red like apples gave an embarrassing smile and averted her gaze then met their eyes again and smiled hesitantly.
Richard saved.
Right now I’m madly in love with that luminous body in front of me.
“Then I’ll go.”
Anna tucked her hands behind her back and smiled.
“See you tomorrow Richard.”
“…yes.”
Richard caressed my cheek and gave me a goofy laugh. She is shaking her hand until she enters her quarters.
“….”
Richard’s body belatedly sensed dysentery.
‘what? This energy.’
It was an unpleasant sensation as if it was running down the spine. He shouted as he watched Anna walk away.
“Isla! Avoid!”
“?”
Darkness was rising in the form of claws beside Anna. Richard hurried forward and swung his arm.
Kwaji Jik!
The darkness hit Richard’s forearm and collapsed.
“Lee Richard? What’s going on?”
Richard who blocked Anna’s way took a sharp look around.
It was too late to notice because I kept focusing on her.
My senses gradually expanded and at the same time I sensed a foreign energy I realized that the lighted accommodation was strangely quiet.
“This.”
Kulleong-
beep-
Something was happening in the black darkness. Richard said immediately prepared.
“It’s a dark spirit.”
“yes?”
Richard was dumbfounded.
In this era where elemental magicians themselves are hard to find what other attributes are the spirits of darkness?
“Come out.”
He also created two lower fire spirits using elemental magic. As the spirits spewed flames from their mouths the dark spirits stood guard and retreated.
“Now! This way!”
Richard wrapped his arms around Anna’s shoulders and ran. Arriving at the building in an instant he slammed the door and entered.
-Giggigigigi!
-Geugguk!
It was after the spirits of darkness had occupied even the inn.
Fortunately the children are not visible. It seems that no one is dead.
‘Did the watcher notice the spirit attack and evacuate the children? Well done.’
“Richard!”
The spirit of darkness came running tearing apart the spirit of fire that Richard had summoned.
Richard hurriedly stretched out his arms to open a defensive magic circle.
‘Kuu! Mana!’
I used too much power to summon the Spirit Dragon earlier so the magic circle couldn’t open.
Wow!
At that moment Richard doubted his eyes. As her gray hair fluttered Anna who jumped in like lightning kicked the dark spirit with her shoe.
percussion.
Soon after she landed on the floor and struck down the dark spirits around her with her dazzling taijutsu. It was a perfectly flawless movement.
“Oh Isla?”
jump!
After taking down the dark spirit with her elbow she belatedly said ‘Hot!’ he blushed and covered her mouth.
“Ahaha was that a little extreme?”
…awesome.
Even in the midst of this Richard felt a crush on her. Then realizing that this was not the time he slapped me on the forehead.
“There must be children running away nearby! Let’s follow them!”
“yes!”
The two of them kicked the dark spirits one by one at the same time and ran out.

same time.
Simon and Lethe who were protecting the orphans were frantically defeating the dark spirits and making a retreat. Behind them orphans directors and volunteers followed with frightened faces.
It was fortunate that among the volunteers there were veterans or those who knew how to use a sword.
“Wow that’s great.”
However among those people Simon and Lethe shined the brightest. The two were breathing in perfect harmony. Crossing each other and kicking or back to back they were knocking down the enemy.
“What is this all of a sudden?”
Simon knocked down the dark spirit with his elbow and looked back at Lethe.
“Do you have any guesses? Lethe.”
“There is.”
Lethe shattered the body of the Dark Spirit with a brisk rounds kick and continued.
“It’s probably the gangsters’ job. I think they know we’re here and get in the way.”
“…Are you saying you heard it already?”
He was prepared to be found out by the gang one day.
But even if you notice it it’s too fast.
I’ve only allowed her to see Richard and Anna twice now.
“The fact that we’re doing volunteer work here nobody but you and me and my father and mother would know.”
“I don’t know where the information leaked.”
At that moment Simon stopped moving and looked back with lowered eyes. Lethe blinked her eyes.
“Huh? Why is that?”
Simon lowered his stance.
“…someone’s coming here.”
