Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 479
that evening.
Summoning department dormitory study room.
The three musketeers Simon and Toto and even Fitzgerald of the same club after a long time were sitting around a desk and working hard on a summon materials study assignment.
The study room was quiet and peaceful.
The only thing that could be heard was the rustling of a quill and the occasional fluttering of a bookcase being turned over.
“Aww I don’t understand!”
Suddenly Toto who had been writing in a notebook screamed while tearing his hair out.
“We are summon majors so why do we have to study these things?”
The task of this ‘Summoning Material Science’ was to memorize almost a book’s worth of handouts. It was a copy of the Encyclopedia of General Plants and Plant Monsters.
said Simon.
“Professor Keyzen’s order. There must be a reason for memorizing it.”
“…Uh yes. I guess so.”
Toto nodded sullenly then gathered his head again and raised his quill.
Simon who had just finished ‘Mandragora’ and turned to the next page raised his head.
I saw Fitzgerald’s figure.
Wearing horn-rimmed glasses and always carrying books he is a typical model student and scholar-type classmate.
“Fitzgerald.”
“hmm.”
“You don’t even do assignments what kind of books are you looking at like that?”
He had another strange book open and was reading. The title was “Wishing you all well” but somehow just looking at the title made his head ache.
“Books are food for the mind.”
Fitzgerald raised his glasses.
“I just had dinner and I’m full so I need to give my head its daily bread.”
“What if I don’t give it to you?”
“The brain complains of mental hunger. In the end intellectual inquiry will be castrated and it will lead to tragic words of emptiness filled with vanity.”
“?”
By the way he is the same as ‘Benya Vanilla’ a senior in the club.
It means weird guy.
“And a copy of it.”
Fitzgerald pointed at the task with his fingertips his eyes fixed on the book.
“I’ve already read the original text several times so I don’t have to study separately.”
Simon let out a laugh.
“…It’s amazing in many ways.”
“More than that Fitz!”
Toto who was scribbling with a quill glanced at Fitzgerald.
“When I was in 2nd grade I thought the three mutant members would be together all the time! In class I always hang out with the M class kids!”
“That’s strange.”
Fitzgerald also jokingly counterattacked.
“I thought the class A classmates were ostracizing me because they hung out with each other.”
“Ooh we can’t do that!”
The three laughed lightly.
As they were about to resume their work the door to the self-study room slid open and a male student entered.
Seeing the gold badge attached to his collar the three jumped up from their seats. He was a senior in 3rd grade.
“Ah ah. You don’t have to. Be comfortable.”
He was a male student with a naive impression like a bear with drooping eyebrows.
“Leonard and Will are off on missions now and there’s no one to say anything to you guys for the time being.”
“Ah yes.”
The three of them sat down again. The third grader picked up a book from his cabinet.
“really.”
Then as if remembering something he put his hand over the cabinet.
“Eat this.”
The mutant members who were concentrating on their homework were surprised.
‘Love Cookie’ which is popular these days and is not available in Rochester. It was sweet and cost-effective so it was among the top late-night snacks among students.
Toto who immediately recognized it as a love cookie by looking at the wrapping paper asked in surprise.
“Um can we really eat this?”
“then.”
The 3rd grade senior laughed. Then with a slightly embarrassed expression he scratched her head.
“Yeah I just want you to know this. Not all seniors hate you guys.”
“…ah.”
“I really like you guys. We’re seniors and juniors living in the same lodgings and studying the same studies right? Personally I don’t quite understand why they’re harassing me so much that I have to lose my sophomore year.”
Simon looked up at him with surprised eyes.
“…Seniors.”
“Even though I have no strength I can’t stop Will and Leonard and will continue to do so but it’s just that not all of the 3rd years are wary of you guys. I just want you to know that one thing.”
The 3rd year senior smiled innocently and spread his palms.
“If there’s anything you don’t know about the dormitory or department life ask me. I’ll do anything I can to help.”
Toto lowered his head with a sullen face.
“Thank you senior!”
Simon and Fitzgerald also stood up and bowed their heads respectfully. The 3rd year senior even took care of something to drink and quietly closed the door and left.
At the same time the nervous Toto let out a sigh of relief. said Simon her eyes shining.
“He is a good man.”
“Yeah! That’s a real senior!”
“sympathy.”
Fitzgerald was also opening the book he had closed.
The three started the task in a warm atmosphere again. I used my brain hard and Simon who had a crush on sweet things picked up a love cookie.
“Oh wait.”
Then Fitzgerald raised his arm to restrain Simon.
“…We may have been caught off guard.”
“absence?”
Fitzgerald raised his glasses.
“Why did you mention that senior Leonard and Will had left? Why did he suddenly say he was taking out a book from the cabinet then took out a snack and brought it to you? Did he really come to the study room by accident to take out a book? thinking-“
Yum.
Simon ignored it and grabbed the cookie and ate it.
Fitzgerald jumped up from his seat with a surprised face.
“Simon!”
Simon grinned.
“I didn’t take drugs or anything weird. It’s just a delicious cookie.”
“…hmm.”
Fitzgerald sat back down with a puzzled look on his face. It was somehow funny so Simon burst into laughter.
“Are you accepting good intentions and starting with suspicion? I don’t think it’s a good habit.”
Fitzgerald pressed down his glasses.
“I think it’s better than getting hit in the back of the head if you’re not paying attention.”
“No no I didn’t mean to completely let go of the guard. But this 3rd year senior acted out of good faith. If you can’t accept people’s good intentions innocently for the rest of your life because you’re bound by suspicion like that.”
Simon smiled.
“Isn’t that a greater misfortune than getting hit in the back of the head someday?”
“…!”
Fitzgerald opened his mouth as if in great shock.
Soon he changed his poses such as crossing his legs turning his head or crossing his arms savoring Simon’s words and finally getting his posture right.
percussion.
He finally closed the strangely titled book in his hands and opened his textbook and notes for Aaron’s summoning assignment.
“Have you read everything yet?”
“Because I’m full.”
Fitzgerald clicked and moved his quill.
“Your words have just met your quota for dinner. You won’t need more food.”
“….”
A deep smile crept across Simon’s lips.
I had been in the same club for a year but I still hadn’t quite grasped what kind of person Fitzgerald was.
But today for the first time I felt like I knew a little bit more about who he was.
“Yum yum. You guys don’t eat it? This is really delicious!”
Toto who had already eaten his 10th love cookie saw the two of them.
“If I don’t eat will I eat it all?”
Only then did Simon and Fitzgerald’s arms move urgently.
* * *
The assignment was finished late in the evening.
Simon and Toto were walking to their dorm rooms chatting.
Toto was holding a box of leftover love cookies in his arms.
“uh?”
Simon stopped. Toto followed suit stopped and raised his head.
“What’s wrong Simon?”
“Did we leave the door open and go to work?”
“I do not know.”
Simon opened his eyes sharply pulled the door open and slowly entered.
There didn’t seem to be any major changes in the room. The items on the desk are still there.
however.
“Hee hee hee!”
A strange noise was heard. A white blanket began to rise from Simon’s bed.
“Hee! Ears ghosts?!”
Toto was frightened and backed away but Simon laughed as if he was relieved at last.
Soon the blanket was lifted and silver hair fluttered.
“It’s a ghost! It’s scary!”
Wow with the appearance of a little girl! Seeing the cute ghost threatening him Simon greeted him warmly.
“Hello Mr. Nephthys.”
“Nefthys?!”
Shocked so much in a short time Toto stiffened while standing.
Just then Nephthys jumped down from the bed and Odo ran to Toto.
“Uh uh uh uh.”
The ruler of the Dark Union is right in front of you.
I should have taken an example right away but I was so shocked that I couldn’t move my body or speak.
Nephthys said nothing staring up at him.
“I-I…!”
You must have been angry.
What are you angry about?
Did I do anything wrong to Lorraine?
Or did you just not say hello?
‘I’m going to die like this…!’
“Toto.”
Simon pointed to the cookie box Toto was hugging.
“Looks like you want to eat that.”
“huh?”
When Toto unloaded the box of cookies Nephthys took it with her eyes shining.
“It’s a cookie!”
Then right away yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum began to eat.
Toto collapsed on the spot with his soul drained out of his face then clung to the wall.
“Nephthys-nim why are you here?”
“Oh!”
she said with a broad smile.
“Will you follow me for a second? Simon!”
Simon and Nephthys left the room.
Looking at the empty dormitory room a mischievous laugh came out of Toto’s mouth.
‘Oh Simon was the student council president. The president deserves to come in person.’
His limbs trembled.
I couldn’t even compare it to the first grade when I got along quietly and quietly. She became Simon’s roommate but now her scale has grown too much and many incidents have occurred which is not good for her heart.
‘Twas what kind of life is Simon leading…’
* * *
Simon and Nephthys walked on a forest road with few people.
It was a cozy night with the pleasant sound of insects resounding. I also liked the sound of the grass being stepped on.
“I remember?”
she asked abruptly.
“Ah I’m sorry Nephthys-sama. We were supposed to meet the night before the entrance ceremony but I suddenly took over as the new student leader…”
“No no! Not that!”
She shook her head and looked at Simon again.
“I was supposed to give you a present!”
Of course I remembered.
– With this I haven’t completely fulfilled your request. I’ll give you my personal gift later too. Are you fine?
-A gift?
-huh! It’s still a secret~ I’ll give it to you as a new school year gift!
In return for defeating Silage during the last Blood Bridge incident in 1st year Nephthys was carrying out the groundwork to change the perception and public opinion of the 7th Corps in order for Simon to act as a legitimate Corps commander one day.
The fact that she appeared in person at the appointment ceremony for the student council president this time is also part of that kind of work.
However Simon’s original request was ‘pardon for the sins of the 7th Legion’ and she decided to give her a personal gift saying that she did not fulfill all the requests.
“This is it.”
What she took out of her bosom was a small pearl-like bead. Simon accepted it.
“Try to drop it on the floor.”
As Simon instructed he set the marble down on the floor. She held out her hand.
“Hold my hand.”
Of course because of the height difference it felt like she was clinging to Simon’s hand with her arms outstretched.
“Now step on this marble half and half with me. At the same time!”
“All right.”
Simon and Nephthys lifted their legs at the same time and stepped on the marble.
“!”
The scenery around us has changed.
The scenery of the autumn forest with fallen leaves spreads out.
“A space?”
Simon’s eyes widened.
“It’s a little special sub-space. People who are not objects can also enter temporarily! Come on come this way!”
Is the subspace a gift again? Simon silently followed her.
and after a while
I saw a large hill made of fallen leaves piled up.
“Do you know what this is?”
Simon shuddered just to see it protruding from the tip of the fallen leaves.
“This…!”
It was a big bone.
When Nephthys lightly clashed her hands all the fallen leaves flew away revealing the dragon’s bones intact.
It was bigger than Carissa the dungeon lord Simon had experienced in the Holy Federation. He died and only bones remained but the remaining magic power still swayed.
“It’s a present for you Simon.”
She smiled.
“Bone dragon. When can you handle this?”
