Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1006
“…Huh!”
Simon, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly raised his upper body.
“Ha, whoa.”
Cold sweat ran down my face and my body trembled. Simon, who stared blankly at the ceiling for a moment, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As if
he heard the commotion, the door to the hospital room opened and Lorraine walked in. She said with a worried expression.
“What’s wrong, Simon? “Did you have a nightmare?”
Simon said ‘Hello, Lorraine’ and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“I do not know. “I don’t remember what the dream was about.”
“Hmm.”
She sat quietly on the chair in front of the bed and looked at Simon.
“Today is the day you reveal to people that you are a corps commander. “Maybe it’s because I’m too nervous?”
“Maybe so.”
Lorraine’s eyes showed even more worry.
“Should I tell my mom and ask her to postpone the schedule? Or even now, reveal the truth about the corps commander….”
“No, it’s okay.”
Simon said, smiling brightly.
“I’ve already decided. “I can’t put it off any longer.”
“…huh. “If you decide, I understand.”
Lorraine stood up.
“Get ready, the Dark Alliance summit will begin soon.”
* * *
Dark Alliance High Lords Summit.
The so-called ‘Union Summit’ boasted the largest scale among the various diplomatic meetings held in the Dark Alliance.
This is the largest conference hosted by the Dark Alliance, with the participation of not only the kings of the four kingdoms and Kizen elders, but also special autonomous districts such as Ivory Tower, Pentamonium, and Grand Forge, and lords of each influential region.
There are over 1,000 attendees, and this year the summit will be held on Locke Island in Keygen.
The facility utilized Keygen’s main auditorium. Originally, it was a space where new students would be busy before the entrance ceremony, but today, rulers from each region were gathering and talking.
‘Wow, I’m nervous.’
Simon, who sneaked into the auditorium, felt thirsty.
I thought that even though Nephthys laid the board, it was too large. I thought it would just be announced in front of a few media and it would end, but it turned out to be a joint summit! It felt like my mind was turning white.
Again and again.
“It’s okay, right?”
Lorraine walked to the side and stood in front of Simon.
Simon was a little surprised. She was wearing a black dress that looked difficult to pull off. Her hair was tied back stylishly, and she even wore bracelets and modest accessories on her wrists.
She usually walked around in her school uniform, but wearing this outfit made her look quite adult.
“what’s the matter?”
“Oh, it’s nothing! I’m okay.”
Simon turned his head to catch his breath, then looked downstairs. The heads of each region were sitting down one by one.
There are also some familiar faces.
Blue Harbor, Pentamonium, Farona Peninsula, Mechria Grassland, Northern Kalos, Grand Forge, etc.
We can see the faces of lords and representatives from various regions that Simon had visited.
I started out as a mountain boy who didn’t know anything during the first year entrance ceremony, but now that I was about to enter third year, it was amazing that I could see people to say hello to.
“Senior Simon! Senior Lorraine!”
A familiar voice echoed from the second floor.
A boy with a large head, short red hair, and a neat tuxedo was running this way.
“Arthur!”
It was Arthur, the second special mercenary king last year.
As he approached, he bowed politely to his seniors and shook their hands.
Simon asked, shaking his hand.
“Are you attending the summit too?”
“ha ha ha! That’s it! Because of his position as the mercenary king. “I think I will come forward as a representative of the mercenaries and speak out my position!”
After answering that, Arthur looked at Simon with shining eyes.
“Oh, and your job, senior. “I heard the story from Sasha.”
“…Yeah, I’m sorry for not telling you sooner.”
Among the first-year trio, Sasha was the only one who knew a safe mailing address. So, I sent a letter to Sasha and told him that I was the corps commander, and told him to tell the other two as well.
So I thought Arthur and Princess Molly would know by now.
“no! What are you saying! On the contrary, my respect for Senior Simon has grown even more!”
Arthur bared his teeth.
“One way or another, the world is going to turn upside down today!”
“…I don’t think it’s that much.”
Gurgling!
At that time, a sound came from Arthur’s stomach. Arthur said hahaha! He smiled and scratched his head.
“I was so nervous that my stomach hurt! “I’ll just have to excuse myself!”
“Yeah, I’ll see you when school starts.”
Lorraine also waved her hand.
“Thank you, Arthur.”
“Try hard! Senior Lorraine!”
Arthur hurried back the way he came. Simon and Lorraine made eye contact and smiled.
“Arthur is still the same.”
“I know.”
Still, something.
I felt a little nervous because I felt like I was rehearsing in front of Arthur before revealing my identity at that heavy summit.
“Then let’s go…”
“Ugh! excuse me!”
Arthur came back quickly.
“I forgot I came to the second floor to go to the bathroom! “I’ll go first!”
He quickly disappeared.
It still seems the same, Simon thought.
* * *
An hour later, the official summit began.
I was familiar with events such as entrance ceremonies and graduation ceremonies held among students of the same age here, but this event held by high-ranking adults had a completely different atmosphere.
It was solemn and serious.
The procedure was also quite long. Procedures that I have never seen before were carried out, such as a grand address, a congratulatory speech, a dog speech, a welcome speech, etc. Two hours after the summit began, Jane, who was in charge of hosting the meeting, opened her mouth.
“Nephthys, Grand Commander of the Dark Alliance, Armad, Secretary General of the Dark Alliance, and His Majesty the Kings of the Four Kingdoms are entering!”
A group of people walked out to the podium.
Nephthys, who was walking in the lead waving her short arms, the kings of the affiliated countries, and the secretary-general of the union organization walked along holding their mustaches.
Of course, the one who stole everyone’s attention was Nephthys.
-You look beautiful today too.
-You’re brave. It’s the ilium.
-It’s spooky.
Still, her appearance seemed different to the general audience.
The audience got up from their seats, and when Nephthys and his group took their seats at the head of the podium, they sat down again.
“Thank you everyone for joining us!”
Nephthys, who received the loudspeaker crystal ball from Jane, came forward and said.
“As everyone was informed in advance, this is the agenda for this summit.”
She raised her fingertips, and the word ‘commitment’ appeared on the stage.
“The entire continent is under a desperate and indiscriminate attack. “There are actually people who have suffered great damage.”
Everyone’s eyes rested on King Shahed, who was sitting on the podium for a moment. He still had his right arm in a splint.
“Today, we will discuss how to respond at the level of the Dark Alliance. “If you have any opinions, please tell me without hesitation.”
Then one by one, hands were raised, and the rulers of various territories spoke of their positions.
Jane appropriately interrupted the long story, and Nephthys answered the question.
“We pay a huge amount of taxes to the Federation every month.”
The third questioner, the Lord of Padro Estate, continued speaking with a stern expression.
“But to be honest, I don’t think the Union and Keygen are handling this issue properly. The great territory of Riveron, which had become a battlefield for dragons, was devastated. The Shahed incident ended only after 15 days, not to mention the Pumpkin incident. In a situation like this, why would we remain united? The taxes levied on the great estates are too heavy! It would be better to stop paying huge taxes to the Federation and use the money to hire private soldiers and necromancers from the fiefdom!”
Several lords nodded their heads in agreement.
Of course, there were complaints even in small fiefdoms. One lord had the right to speak and raised his hand.
“The coalition’s support is focused on cities with large populations or large populations. Please pay attention to the small territory. We are part of the federation and pay accordingly, but small country estates are disappearing without even knowing whether they exist or not. “We want to live too.”
The lords of small fiefdoms also said, ‘That’s right!’ He shouted and expressed his dissatisfaction.
“Yes, yes. “I understand those complaints.”
Nephthys patted my shoulder with her small fist and sighed.
“But my body is one? My strength is being depleted, and I don’t know how hard it is for the headquarters to work overtime under the war system for several months. We are doing everything we can, but the number of victims is bound to increase. “What do you think is the fundamental reason for this?”
The audience was silent, and she crossed her arms.
“That’s because the headquarters of the organization has no substance! It’s rooted in other dimensions, including dungeons. They attack us, but we can’t attack them! They suddenly appear in an area, commit acts of destruction, and then disappear. It is difficult to stop the organization with the military power of the existing territory, and when the alliance prepares and sends troops, the organization has already fled and the location in question has to wait for a tragedy to occur.”
Several lords were seen nodding their heads in agreement.
“There is no way to deal with those hiding in another dimension.”
“Do we have to continue to suffer like this?”
At that time, Nephthys’ blue eyes sparkled.
“But even in this one-sided situation, we found a way.”
“!”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Nephthys.
“The topic of the future is ‘dimensional war.’ We intend to chase the Order into the hidden dimension and eradicate them. We have already destroyed the organization’s largest research center and caused them irreparable damage. “There is progress, little by little.”
An exclamation erupted in the main auditorium upon hearing the news that the organization’s facilities had been destroyed across dimensions. The whispering voices grew louder.
“…Dimension war, that’s an incredible story.”
“But Nephthys is not the kind of person to talk nonsense.”
They are the people of the continent who farm on their own land and make a difficult living from day to day. It was true that the stories of death and dimensional war did not touch my heart, but the recent events occurring throughout the continent were equally questionable.
Although the world was changing rapidly, at least the rulers and sovereigns of each territory had to accept and deal with these changes.
“In that sense, we invited a special guest to this summit.”
Nephthys stepped back.
“The person who has caused the most damage to the Order on the continent so far, and the Society’s strongest natural enemy. “He is also an expert in dealing with dimensions.”
no way!
People got up from their seats one by one.
Soon Nephthys smiled and said.
“I will call the hero of Bell Heights, the commander of the 7th Corps, here.”
The moment she finished speaking.
Simon, who was waiting behind the stage at the podium, calmed his pounding heart and put on Peer’s helmet.
‘Goes.’
