Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 403
the day before the luncheon.
The 247 students who were confirmed to be eliminated took off their keygen school uniforms and left Roch Island.
When the surviving class A students including Simon gathered in the classroom for their last class the empty seats looked exceptionally large.
In such a turbulent atmosphere Professor Jane’s last ‘beginner black magic’ class began.
-I had a hard time following my guidance for a year. Now this is the last time I sing ‘Class 1 A’.
Jane’s slightly trembling voice was something Simon had never heard before.
-I’m proud of you. Class A.
A lot of emotions intersected with that word and half became a sea of tears in an instant.
Kamibarez cried out loud and Meirin turned her head and wiped her eyes. Dick who had been timing the gag also kept his mouth shut not daring to break colic this time.
The crying quickly spread and the tears of the teaching assistants standing behind were also reddened.
After class the students hugged and said goodbye to their teaching assistants.
“Teacher unnie! Thank you so much for the past year!”
“Congratulations on your second grade promotion Jamie.”
Whatever it was the surviving students of Keygen had to move forward.
And just today.
A promotion ceremony for 400 first-year students was scheduled in the auditorium.
Parents and relatives were coming into Roch Island with bouquets of flowers. The students were also excited about seeing their parents after a long time.
Since today was the last day of the first year of Keyzen Simon also packed up early and left the dormitory to visit the professors he hadn’t been able to say hello to before.
Aaron from Summoning Science Hongfeng from Mathusology Byeolnight from Maddok Study Erik from Ebon Mechanics and Umbra from Necromancer.
Unfortunately however he did not meet Bahil of the Curse. In Bahil’s lab there was only Chief Assistant Cheheckle.
According to her Bahil cut all contact with Simon after he left Simon’s hospital room and went into hiding.
He said he was a person who would come in when the new semester started anyway and Chehekl said not to worry about it.
And the last place he headed to was Parahan Professor of Divine Defense and Simon’s Priest teacher.
Farahhan gave him various divinity-related assignments saying that vacation from Kizen is the best time to practice divinity.
He also took the Shinsoo Hayangi and Kkamangi from Parahan’s house and put them in the divine subspace where Akalion was and returned.
I felt sorry for continuing to leave it to Parahan even during the vacation and above all there was an expectation that Anna a former saintess and mother would give me a clue to awakening.
“Laugh.”
My legs hurt after walking around very busy since dawn. Simon stretched his arms and looked down from the hillside.
I could see students and parents gathering in the auditorium.
“Then let me go down too!”
* * *
Although the promotion ceremony had not yet begun the enthusiasm of the students and parents was hot.
If entering Kizen was a family celebration being promoted to second grade was a family honor.
A father and son hugging each other with tears in their eyes and a female student holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms and smiling broadly as if she had the whole world. She was full of happiness and laughter everywhere.
And among them there was a girl with light blue hair looking around intently.
It was Meirin.
“I said it was in front of the fountain! Where are you wandering?”
After looking around intently for 30 minutes Mei-Lin finally found a man with short sky-blue hair just like her and shouted.
“Dad! It’s here!”
Meilin waved her arm.
The man who was walking through the crowds around him also saw Meirin and smiled.
“Yes Meirin.”
Daniela Villenne the moderate leader of the Ivory Tower and Meilin’s father.
The two women didn’t hug cry or make unfamiliar noises like the people around them. They just faced each other and smiled lightly.
“Congratulations on your second grade promotion.”
Daniela handed over a bouquet of blue roses that matched Meilin’s hair color.
Holding it in her arms Meirin smelled the fragrant flowers and smiled brightly.
“Yeah. Thanks Dad!”
“I heard the story. You said you were in the Top 10?”
Meilin smiled while drawing a V.
“I said I would do it too!”
“Yes. I’m sure you’ll stand on the face of seeing the tower lord’s face.”
Daniela sighed and touched her forehead.
“I ran away from home from the ivory tower and entered Kizen on my own and I was so upset. Do you know how much I bowed my head to the elders?”
“Oh really!”
Meirin blushed.
“Yeah but you worked hard and got 8th place! On a good day stop nagging!”
But Daniela’s nagging didn’t stop. He ran his fingertips through Meilin’s light blue hair.
“You’ve grown your hair longer. You’re a student isn’t this too long? If you keep fiddling with your hair you’ll lose your concentration.”
“Don’t mind my hair! What’s wrong with my hair all of a sudden?”
Mei Lin got angry and removed Daniela’s hand.
“I’ll have to call the hairdresser first when I go back to the ivory tower.”
Daniela sighed and looked around.
“Rather than that where did Serene-nim go?”
“….”
At that question Maylin’s lips protruded.
“…Why is he?”
Daniela insisted in a deliberately stern tone.
“Didn’t your dad tell you to call me Serene?”
“Poem no! Am I crazy?!”
Meirin jumped up.
“He-and didn’t you come to congratulate me today? Dad why are you bringing up that nasty story to make me feel better?”
“I came to represent the Ivory Tower. Serene-nim should also congratulate her on her promotion to the second year.”
Daniela showed the bouquet of white roses she was holding behind her back.
Meirin snorted with a ‘huh’.
“…For those things you can just ask the tower owner to come and give them to you.”
“Because Tower Lord thinks Kizen is in the middle of enemy territory.”
Daniela who was saying that looked at her watch.
“Oh the ceremony is about to begin. Where is the bathroom?”
“…You can enter any building. Here the Maengdok Academy is the closest. Go straight and it’s on the right side.”
Daniela who was in a hurry headed to the bathroom.
Meilin had to hold a bouquet of blue roses and even a bouquet of white roses that belonged to Serene.
She sighed with a sullen expression.
“…Daddy’s stupid.”
Meilin grumbled and looked down at her feet. I even tried kicking the pebbles around Eight Eight.
I worked hard.
I started from the bottom and even made it into the Top 10.
excellent. proud. Is it that hard to say something like that?
Feelings of sadness flooded over me.
“Let me ask you a question Lady.”
At that time a man approached Meirin.
“Ah yes.”
Merlin turned and looked at him.
“…!”
There was a walking statue in front of me. He was wearing glasses that didn’t match at all and a mustache but he didn’t fade this man’s good looks.
“I want to go to a place called the Great Auditorium but where should I go?”
“ah.”
Merlin’s face turned red.
He is an extremely attractive person. He seemed to emit pheromones all over his body.
The epitome of middle age. Rather his age due to ‘ageing’ further enriched his cool as a gentleman. Even his age was a weapon to this man.
Meirin stuttered.
“Uh that big building over there…!”
At that time the man who was staring at Meilin grabbed her left hand and lifted it up. She suddenly caught her hand and screamed at her intimidatingly.
“Why why are you like this?”
“…here.”
The man lifted Meilin’s slender wrist and pointed at it with a wink. She also found it too late.
It was bleeding.
“It looks like it was pricked by a rose thorn.”
The man took a handkerchief out of his pocket chief. Even the simple action of taking out a handkerchief exudes elegance.
He used elemental magic to stop the bleeding in an instant then carefully tied Meirin’s wrist with a handkerchief.
“A rose that grew up eating the dew seduces with its fragrance and boasts its splendid figure but it can have thorns.”
The man whispered to Meirin who was absent-minded.
“Just like Lady.”
Merlin’s eyes widened. That cheesy line sounds classy now.
After tying Meirin’s wrist with a handkerchief he took a step back and smiled.
no longer hurt
“go…!”
If you say thank you you will break up now.
But it was a pity to part like this.
“Wait would everyone be scared if there were thorns?”
Meirin regretted it like crazy the moment she said it all.
What the hell am I talking about! crazy!
I want to bang my head against the wall and pass out! I want to go into the mouse hole!
In the middle of Mei Lin screaming inwardly and running amok.
“Not being afraid of sharp thorns being stabbed and even prepared to bleed. That’s it.”
The man laughed seriously.
“It’s the charm of a rose.”
Merlin’s face heated up. The man sent a nice gesture and moved towards the auditorium.
It was a strong impression. Meirin sat down on the fountain.
‘…Yeah but why do you think you resemble someone?’
* * *
The promotion ceremony has begun.
All the students stood in the front and the parents were in the back.
Vice-Chancellor Jane’s impactful speech followed followed by boring yawning speeches by the Kesen elders.
“You are now 2nd year Keyzen. Keygen 2nd year has the same authority as a professional necromancer and can act as a commander. Don’t tarnish the honor and history built up by seniors called Keygen…”
It was incredibly long.
“Hey Simon.”
Dick giggled and hit Simon with his elbow.
“Are your parents here too?”
“…no.”
couldn’t come
His father Richard was in a situation where he could not come out of Leshill let alone Roch Island because of the stigma of a traitor. Not to mention Priest Anna.
Dick made a grimace.
“Uh uhm. Did I ask something wrong?”
“It’s okay. I’ll see you soon when I get home.”
When I turned my head I could see the students sitting in their seats waving their arms in the direction of their parents. Everyone is holding something like a bouquet of flowers.
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t envious but what I can’t help is unavoidable.
“How about you then?”
Dick shrugged at Simon’s question.
“There’s no way a father who favors only the eldest son will come to the promotion ceremony of only the third son.”
For reference Dick was the third of eight sons.
“My mom divorced my dad and is in another kingdom. Instead my second older brother and third and fourth younger siblings came to visit. I’ll introduce them later.”
“okay?”
Simon’s face brightened.
Dick’s brothers! I wanted to meet you soon.
“Hey have you seen Mei Lin’s father? Mei Lin is really short-haired!”
puck!
Dick said ‘Agh!’ fell down with a sound. Mei Lin who was sitting in the seat behind her was huffing and puffing with her face blushing.
“You just talked behind my back!”
“No don’t you think it’s all gossip when your name is called? That’s why your usual behavior… Evil! Ah! Okay! I was wrong! Put your head down and talk!”
Simon giggled and looked back. Kamibarez was also watching with a grin.
“How’s Kami? Is Daddy here?”
“I do not know.”
She wiggled her fingers in response.
“If you hadn’t come because there were a lot of people…”
“…Ahaha.”
Kamibarez’s father was Dietrich Horn Ursula the current vampire lord.
Being a reckless nuisance and a serious daughter-in-law Kamibarez was ashamed of her father.
Simon has been through it once.
Right before the start of the second semester Dietrich who was with her at Langerstein attacked her by saying ‘Prove your worth’.
“That is all.”
Just then the elder’s speech ended. The students who were dozing off gave a louder applause than ever before.
“Thank you for your hard work Elder. Then it’s your turn.”
Jane who had gone up to the podium opened her mouth.
“Senior sophomore Simon Pollentia. Come up to the podium.”
