Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 456
The structure of the Department of Summoning and the dormitory was quite unusual.
‘How many roofs does that have?’
It was a large wooden building with a roof that rose abruptly like the peaks of a mountain range.
It feels like several rooms are connected and attached to one large building and there is a bit of concern that it might collapse but also has a strange sensibility. It is like a fairytale hideaway built in the woods by a retired witch who worked her magic to pass the time.
There were rooms made of bones like a summoning department dormitory and there were also rooms that wriggled. There was also a large tree that protruded through the roof of the dormitory building and small houses were also attached to it.
And guarding the entrance were two skeletons over three meters tall. With a large halberd in their hand the second year students looked nervous.
“Oh this is just the interior.”
At Leonard’s words the students passed by in relief.
“Phew I was scared.”
“Is this also an interior?”
A student lightly touched the stone statue with his foot. However the stone statue suddenly rose and struck the student with its paw.
“Huh!”
“Ha ha ha ha! That’s a real gargoyle! Be careful.”
After passing through the skeletons and gargoyles and entering the room the smell of tree sap wafted in with the warmth. Thanks to the orange lights hanging from the ceiling the inside of the dormitory was extremely cozy.
Subtle warmth was spreading from the two stoves and undead decorations worthy of the Department of Summoning could be seen everywhere. The monster bones creaking and hanging from the ceiling had a sense of reality and at night it looked quite frightening.
There was even an aquarium on the wall.
A school of sharp-toothed fish roamed around and when the hands of the seniors touched the glass of the aquarium they came in black and clashed their teeth.
As if the seniors were used to it they were playing with the fish by moving their fingers.
“This is the lobby.”
Leonard explained.
“Gather in the lobby. When you hear the announcement you can come down here and gather. And this is the dormitory manager.”
A servant sitting at the front desk in the lobby got up and bowed to the students.
“You can use the lobby freely but talking loudly smoking and eating and drinking are of course prohibited.”
Leonard naturally moved to the side.
“The rest room is right next to it.”
“Wow!”
Subsequently I looked around the rest room laundromat and common kitchen and it was better than I thought. In fact Simon preferred a cozy environment like a house like this to other large flashy buildings.
Now Leonard took the students down to the basement.
“This is a workshop.”
Simon’s eyes flashed open. Perhaps this is the largest facility in the inn.
When I first came to the mutant club it was exactly that feeling. Various complex equipment was installed and the shelves were strewn with various undead materials.
“We’ll assign desks one by one. Also if you touch other people’s things carelessly you’ll get in trouble so be careful. The Department of Summoning is quite sensitive to material theft. If you want to store ingredients in the freezer be sure to write them down and label them.”
Leonard lined up to explain.
‘I like it more and more.’
Simon was quickly becoming fascinated by this dormitory and his future life. This place was fulfilling 200% of the summoning student’s romance.
“Ugh the smell of a damp corpse~”
Serene was the only one who said that without notice. A third-year girl looked back at her to give her notice then realized she was Cerne and quickly turned her head back.
In addition there were several workshops.
“If you flip the switch like this.”
Hard!
When Leonard entered the studio next door and pulled the lever the surroundings turned bluish with a fairly strong noise. It is as if water is filling up in the secret room.
“…!”
The students looked around. The entire room is covered with full mana.
“Isn’t it good? If you make a magic circle here you can get pretty good results. Of course those who have mana turned on must turn it off before going out. If you ask the seniors who are working on detailed mana device usage they will kindly tell you.”
Besides that Simon and the students toured various facilities. There was a personal warehouse or cooling water system as well as a place to store the monsters that were caught.
Leonard went to the bathhouse the students were looking forward to the most and was explaining but Simon’s mind was only thinking about the work ahead.
“Okay I just wanted to look around here and now I’m going to assign a room.”
at las!
All the sophomores had nervous expressions on their faces.
“Rooms are for two people. Wouldn’t it be better to just decide between close friends?”
“yes!!”
“Yes yes. I understand. If you wait here a little longer the housekeeper will come.”
After explaining the dormitory Leonard climbed the stairs to the third floor. Sophomores occupied rooms on the first and second floors and juniors occupied the third and fourth floors.
All the other 3rd graders are also going up.
“Attention everyone.”
Hector the sophomore department representative stepped forward.
3rd grader Will tapped him on the shoulder gave him a bloody look at the 2nd graders and followed Leonard up.
“Before assigning rooms let me explain the simple rules we must follow.”
They said it was a rule so I thought it was something like a commute time or a bathroom rule.
It was a slightly different rule.
Sophomores must never go above the 3rd floor of the dormitory.
When you meet a senior bow down to the waist and greet them politely.
If there are seniors in your personal warehouse wait at the entrance until they leave greet them when they leave and then write.
The coolant should be filled by the sophomore on duty.
If seniors run errands follow them without saying anything.
etc.
From things you can understand to content that makes you think ‘Why?’ It was such a rule that is often applied between seniors and juniors.
“Simon~ Simon~”
Serene whispered.
“Don’t you think it smells like old days?”
A few students let out a muffled laugh. Simone noticed Cerne and Lorraine just folded her arms and closed her eyes as if lost in her thoughts.
“Of course this is a rule between students not something the school stipulates to follow.”
said Hector.
“I won’t force it. But as everyone knows this is the academic life. A social misfit is someone who refuses to do what everyone else is doing and has done everything. What is a misfit?”
The surroundings became quiet for a moment.
“There is a welcome party for students in the evening.”
Hector looked around at the students and said.
“This is the same. You are free to participate but if you have a good idea in your head I hope that all of you will participate without exception. Networking with seniors is important not only during school life but also after graduation. It means that there is no need to pretend.”
Then I heard the sound of footsteps.
A middle-aged woman in loose clothing was approaching. Hector quickly withdrew and returned to his seat.
“My name is Margaret the dormitory head.”
Margaret was a very strict and demanding character.
Unlike other minions the housekeeper was a person who had the authority to control and punish students so he was a person to be extremely careful in dormitory life.
“I will explain the precautions from now on.”
It was she who gave one line of greeting starting with precautions.
Hector explained the rules between seniors and juniors but housekeeper Margaret talked about standard rules for ordinary life.
Curfew penalty points laundry etiquette.
In addition it was forbidden to sort and dispose of garbage and to drink alcohol and smoke cigars in the dormitory. In particular when sneaking into a room of the opposite sex both the owner and the party were given the highest penalty.
“If you do what you have to do and rest there is no reason for the headmaster to interfere and give you penalty points.”
She raised her eyes.
“Please follow the rules and live your life.”
“yes!”
“Then let’s start assigning rooms. Go around freely and check the room number. You can sign this form with the roommate you want. Boys go up the stairs on the right and girls go up the stairs on the left.”
She said that and nodded once.
“Let’s get started.”
Pababat!
As soon as the words were finished the students stepped on the jet black and flew up.
Students ran up the stairs to get a good room but the headmaster’s mouth opened violently like a monster.
“I would have said it would be a penalty if I played indoors!!”
All at once the students stuttered and changed from running to walking.
“Especially the green-haired boy who stepped on the jet black and the boy next to him please come here. Penalty points.”
“Yes yes? Already?”
“come here.”
While the two students had fallen out and trudged to the supervisor Simon quickly climbed the stairs and headed for the second floor.
“Ah what is it?”
“I don’t think there’s such a thing as a good spot?”
The first students to go up said so. Simon also checked but most of the rooms including the size of the room the furnishings inside and the size of the bed were the same.
If all the rooms were there the next most important thing was the roommate.
“Wait student council president!!”
Simon who had been looking around the room looked back in surprise. A brown-haired male student I had never seen before said with a smirk.
“Do you want to sleep with me? Go-go?”
It was a bit embarrassing for someone I didn’t know to say that out of the blue. A few more students came after that.
“Hey! Simon! I saw that bastard snoring.”
“You’re going crazy!”
“Simon! No Chairman! You say you’re from Baldwin? I’m Baldwin too!”
The first day of sophomore year of study.
The friends who were close in the first year were torn to shreds in different departments and they are seeing each other for the first time. If you don’t have a particularly close friend sticking to a celebrity to boost your network is one of the safest options.
Of course Simon the person in charge was a little bewildered.
‘I don’t have a dick so it doesn’t really matter who I share the room with.’
However I felt that the few people in front of me were taking a more blatant approach rather than being burdensome.
It wasn’t just the feeling of being friends purely but the desire to tear something off my background was shining in my eyes.
Looking around Simon noticed a boy far behind the reaching out students.
Short and dwarfed he looked sideways at the other students. He hesitated speechless then resigned himself and turned his back.
“Everyone thank you for the suggestions but I’m sorry.”
Simon said.
“I have a kid who promised to be my roommate.”
At that the short boy who was returning stopped walking. Simon looked at him and said.
“Right. Toto?”
“!”
Toto turned his back and looked at Simon. The students around him glared at Toto as if it were real.
‘What is he?’
‘Student president with a boy like that?’
Toto involuntarily swallowed. But more than the pressure from the students around him the thrill that Simon had chosen me was greater.
“Right Simon! Have you decided where the room will be?”
Simon smiled and pointed.
“How about this room? It’s close to the stairs and looks nice.”
“Yeah good!”
The students around her eventually gave up their lingering feelings and moved on. When only the two of them were left Toto said with thrilled eyes.
“Are you really going to share a room with me?”
Simon scratched the side of his head and laughed awkwardly.
“If it’s okay with you.”
“Thank you so much Simon!”
“I’m more grateful.”
The two went down the stairs and wrote each other’s names and signatures in one of the rooms.
“Oh come to think of it what about Fitzgerald?”
“When I was signing earlier I saw that he had already booked a room with another kid.”
“That’s great. Let’s unpack our stuff first.”
“huh!”
* * *
The dorm room was small but cozy and nice. In particular the comfort was incomparable to that of the first grade.
Of course the building itself would have been better for the first year dormitory but at that time three people shared a room and now only two people use it so the room looks relatively large and spacious.
“Simon! You know what? The 3rd graders use one of the biggest and best rooms by themselves!”
“I have to be promoted even if I want to use that room.”
“Ahaha!”
Toto is shy but after getting close with him he is the type to talk a lot. In particular since their interests in summoning science overlapped they communicated well.
Time flew by as we chatted and took out our luggage from the subspace and organized it. It was already evening.
“Laugh.”
Simon sat down on the soft bed and organized his thoughts.
The days were drawing to a close but there was still much to do.
I had to go to the department welcome party find out what happened to Bahil and go to the Ruins of Fear and listen to the report as a corps commander.
I thought that I should get along well with the department welcome party and then get out of the way.
“It’s already dark. I’m trembling.”
Toto who was looking out the window gritted his teeth.
“Why are you shaking?”
“The welcome party! The seniors drink a lot have them perform talent shows and just have a ceremony or something…”
“If you think it’s going to be difficult tell your seniors and get out of the way.”
“Uh how do you say that!”
Just then a sound was heard from the hallway.
-Student President Simon Pollentia. Please come down to the lobby right now.
Simon got up from his seat.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
“I think you’re calling because of student council work.”
“Ah I see.”
As Simon wrapped his jacket over his shirt and prepared to leave Toto swallowed his envy and waved.
“Bye.”
“I’ll stop by the welcome party after work even if it’s late.”
“Oh no. Stay in the student council as long as you can! There’s nothing nice about coming here. Okay?”
-Student President Simon Pollentia. Please come down to the lobby right now.
Simon let out a bitter laugh.
“The housekeeper has an impatient personality. I’ll come and see you.”
“huh!”
Simon immediately left the room and strode down the stairs.
The housekeeper was waiting in the lobby.
“Simon Pollentia I got a call from the school. Please go to the student union building right now.”
“What’s going on?”
“Student council meeting. Check the details there.”
Simon nodded and moved on. He just opens the door and comes out.
“Simon Pollentia.”
Hector arms folded was leaning against the wall waiting. Simon opened her mouth in surprise.
“Ah Hector. Long time no see…”
“Stop saying hello.”
Hector lifted himself off his back.
“Are you thinking of flirting with the seniors already?”
“…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
“The 3rd year seniors don’t like being the 2nd year student council president. At the welcome party hosted by the seniors here they wouldn’t be too greedy if they were just escaping from the student council president’s job.”
“….”
Hector spoke calmly.
“Anyway I know that the position will be held for a few months and then handed over when Senior Agel returns. If you look far and think you will be able to calculate which one is wiser to invest in.”
Simon laughed lightly.
“Whether it’s months or weeks this is my responsibility. I can’t pretend I didn’t hear.”
“….”
That’s what he said but Simon thought that Hector would come out more forcefully.
He was the sophomore department representative and it was his job to make sure all the students attended the welcome party.
but.
“do whatever you want.”
Hector coolly turned his back and walked away.
“Instead it’s up to you to take care of the back.”
Click!
The dorm door was closed. Simon looked out at the darkening garden and adjusted his collar.
‘Shall we go?’
* * *
Even in the midst of darkness the 2nd year campus was shining thanks to the streetlights with mana lights.
Arriving safely on campus Simon moved to the student center building in the center.
“I’ve been waiting for you. Student President.”
The servant waiting at the entrance lowered his head.
“Let’s go to the break room first. Everyone is waiting.”
Simon followed him to the lighted break room on the first floor. As I opened the door I saw a familiar face.
“Ah Simon! Are you here?”
Kamibarez greeted Simon by flapping his dainty wings. Meirin and Dick whose expressions had hardened a little widened their faces when they saw Simon.
“Are you here Chairman?”
“Hey! My best friend!”
Dick held out his fist and Simon bumped into it too.
“hi.”
“Hehe wow. Really.”
Dick giggled.
“I haven’t seen your face for a few hours so why are you all so happy?”
“that’s right!”
Kamibarez nodded his head. Simon sighed and sat down on the sofa.
“Starting today I’ll start doing student council work.”
“Yes yes. He said he was going to clean up the student council room and sit here for a while.”
Maylin said. Simon straightened his back and looked at his friends.
“How is the atmosphere in the department everyone?”
The moment Simon brings up that topic.
“It was so very strange!”
“It’s scary! Seniors are holding on to their weight and acting in a scary way!”
“Ah the black mechanics department is mild. The poisonous department only has real geeks!”
“Our hype senior!”
“Listen! Listen to me first!”
Torque sprang out like water bursting out of a clogged dam. Simon let out a bitter laugh.
“Tell me one by one.”
