Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 494
Finally the day in question. Summon materials science performance evaluation has begun.
The place for the performance evaluation was the ‘Botanical Hall’ inside the Keygen Campus.
“Is everyone ready?”
A man showing his upper body muscles and wearing sunglasses. said Professor Grerion aloud. The students vigorously replied ‘Yes!’
“I’m going to turn on the timer from now on. Start!”
The students lit up their eyes and scattered in all directions.
Kizen’s ‘Botanical Hall’ was a huge space built with steel bars and vinyl and had vegetation from all over the continent.
With Grerion’s permission the students were able to harvest and combine two plant species here to create their own chimera.
The key to this performance evaluation was how to create a chimera with strong synergy.
“It’s incredibly hot in here.”
Toto said wiping the sweat from his forehead. Simon had already taken off his school uniform jacket and wrapped it around his waist looking through the plants.
“Toto have you decided what to join?”
“Yeah! I expected it to be a performance evaluation like this so I pulled out a few lists!”
While Toto was flapping his notebook Simon covered his ears.
“Toto cover your ears.”
“huh?”
“Someone chose Mandragora.”
Kyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
A plant that screams when pulled out. Mandragora was so famous.
I could see the students who heard the screams hastily covered their ears.
The student who collected the mandragora quickly put it in a black plastic bag and scooped up soil to submerge it before the mandragora calmed down.
Toto muttered as he lowered his hand covering his ears.
“…The one who transforms Mandragora into a Chimera and turns screams into singing sounds will definitely get an A+.”
“Oh that’s a really good idea.”
Toto immediately found the plants he wanted and left the botanical garden while Simon went a little deeper.
[Extremely dangerous.]
[There is a risk of being eaten.]
Before I knew it I came to the place where there were bug-catching plants and related plant-type monsters.
If you go further inside there are eccentric things that eat monsters whole but even with Grerion’s authority you couldn’t go that far.
Not much time given. Simon hurriedly looked around at the insect traps in the botanical garden.
“found!”
A bug-catcher that drips poison from its mouth. Both the color and appearance were the same as in the picture book.
Simon pulled it up by the root and carefully placed it in his collection bag. He also took a few other plants just in case.
‘Okay next.’
The next place to go was the branch where plants living in cold regions were raised in the botanical garden.
Cold air was pouring out from the magic circle on the ceiling and the further you go the more you can see eyes and even a strange entity rooted on the ice.
Breath came out. Simon untied the jacket from around his waist threw it over his body and fastened his buttons.
‘good. Let’s do our best to find it!’
* * *
An hour later Simon was able to get out of the botanical garden without difficulty securing all the harvest.
Outside the botanical garden there was a table for work.
This is where the chimera splicing takes place and the students who came first were seen making plant chimeras by mobilizing all the knowledge they had learned in class so far.
Simon also looked around for an empty seat.
‘Oh it’s Lorraine.’
Lorraine’s table was somehow full of cute plants that were her personal taste.
Seeing Simon pass by she stammered and said that she would make a chimera to be the ingredient for the perfume. She never asked but Simon quietly shouted ‘fighting’.
And Hector next to him wasn’t even in a frenzy.
He had collected a plant-type monster that looked like a vine and was fighting a bloody battle with the table’s ingredients. The vine monster wrapped Hector in vines and Hector grabbed and tore with brute force.
Simon pretended not to see and quietly slipped away.
‘I found an empty seat!’
Simon who finally settled down at the table carefully put down the ingredients collected from the botanical garden one by one.
I washed my hands thoroughly set the tools and tore off the magic tape.
Perhaps thanks to memorizing the botanical encyclopedia the idea came to me as soon as I heard Grerion’s performance evaluation task.
‘Let’s make just two types for now.’
* * *
“The performance evaluation is over.”
Grerion who stopped the timer in his hand looked at the students and said.
“All hands above their heads. Students who touch the table even slightly are still F.”
“Students! I’ll take three steps back from the table.”
The students licked their lips and withdrew. There was also a student who was stopped by his assistants while letting go of the darkness as if he had no regrets even after time passed.
“Then I will introduce a special artifact for this Chimera evaluation.”
Greerion said. Four teaching assistants came from behind whimpering carrying large flower pots.
“This is ‘Roina’s Pot’ brought with permission from Nephthys. As everyone knows it’s hard to show 100% of its performance with the plant chimera you just joined. It takes time because it’s a plant. You can see the image six months later as an illusion in advance.”
Students groaned at the new evaluation method.
“I’ll show you the evaluation method right away. Come out one by one from the front row.”
Students in the front row stood in line holding potted chimera plants.
“report.”
The first boy who came out opened his mouth.
“I’m Matt Comer! What I’ve put together is linset which is high in sugar and has delicious fruits and fleece a plant-type monster.”
“Why did you combine the two?”
“Linset is a sweet and fragrant fruit but it is characterized by only one fruit at a time. Fleece is a plant-type monster that grows many berries in clusters! I wanted to combine the two to grow a lot of expensive linset fruits.”
The male student showed a confident attitude by row after row of successful cases of improving similar plant-type monsters.
“Is it breeding due to Chimera? You’ll know when you see the results. Plant it in Roina’s pot.”
“yes!”
The boy picked up a chimera plant and planted it in ‘Roina’s pot’ and after a while the same illusion of the same plant next to it was born.
“…ah.”
however.
The phantom plant chimera was drooping and rotted black.
“This is what happens when you combine plants that don’t fit each other. You killed only the ones who are living well for no reason. The evaluation score is ‘F’.”
Watching Grerion mercilessly beat F the students looked at each other with frightened expressions.
“next!”
In fact when Grerion announced performance evaluation last week there was a small debate among students about how to evaluate the plant chimera.
It was not a monster or an undead and it was natural that the plant-type chimera he had just created would be difficult to function properly.
There was an opinion that the reaction would be seen after storing the potted plants for several months and there was also an opinion that since it is a battle of ideas it is necessary to obtain high grades with a plausible combination even if it is somewhat unrealistic.
In this way the students who chose the impact and disruption of the presentation rather than the stability of the chimera were all given an F when the shape of a dead plant was revealed.
“You’re alive. It’s C.”
Even if you are still alive after 6 months the minimum price is rated as ‘C’.
Grerion highly praised the survival of the Chimera. Surviving for several months in nature was proof of the high level of understanding and perfection of the Chimera.
Then came the turn of Hector in question.
“Poeti Vine is less aggressive because it only detects prey with its senses but we added plants that can sense temperature in addition to its senses to make it a more aggressive monster.”
However it was too aggressive. While flying vines in all directions they entwined Toto’s leg which was unlucky and dragged him along.
The presenter Hector stood still with the dragon’s scales covering his body as if in desperation whether the vines had entwined him or not.
“It’s a Chimera that can be used enough in the field.”
When Hector placed it in Roina’s pot Grerion was satisfied with the illusion of a larger chimera six months later.
“A+. Hector Moore.”
“thank you!”
Grerion is also a field necromancer.
Students who chose the more unconventional and combative Chimera received high marks if it met the stability condition of not dying after six months.
After a while Simon’s turn finally came.
Unlike the large and unconventional plant-type monsters other students chose in Simon’s case it was a rather small and dwarf insect-catching plant.
Greerion nodded.
“report.”
“This is Simon Pollentia. A plant-type monster called ‘Phovea’ and a red lotus root with a tuber are combined.”
Simon calmly continued his explanation.
According to what I saw in the plant encyclopedia fovea grows on the ‘island of bees’ where it has evolved to catch and eat countless insect-type monsters ‘killer bees’.
Killer Bee is a major hornet monster that ranks 6th and is used as a main force by ‘Queen Bee Meridiana’.
It has various and powerful poisons and after swallowing it in one bite Fovea combines the ingredients and poison from its own body to convert them into harmless ingredients and release them through the roots.
“The antidote is the target.”
Grerion touched his chin.
“But I’ve never seen a poison magician who uses fovea as an ingredient for an antidote.”
“Yes at most the detoxified ingredients are thrown out into the ground through the stem. So I replaced this root with a tuber plant so that the detoxifying ingredients do not release to the surrounding ground and accumulate on the stem. If you cut the stem and eat it you can expect a detoxifying effect. can.”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Grerion immediately planted Simon’s fovea in Roina’s pot.
After a while Simon’s fovea showed a properly grown phantom. Her stem mass was also solid.
There was no way to know whether this tuber really had a detoxifying effect but it was meaningful that it was done according to Simon’s intention and above all that he survived.
“Well done. Your grade is an A. Simon Pollentia.”
“thank you!”
I was worried because I couldn’t prove the detoxification effect but Simon was very satisfied. Soon Grerion called the next student and Simon returned to his seat.
“great job.”
Likewise Hector and Fitzgerald who were the only ones to receive an A+ said. Since he had been a necromancer specializing in chimeras since his first year he was the student with the greatest strength in this subject.
“Thank you Fitzgerald.”
“Let me give you a personal opinion.”
Fitzgerald pointed to the large bug-catching plant on Simon’s table.
“If I had written something that had more impact than Forbea I wouldn’t have known that I could aim for an A+.”
“It was my choice so I have no regrets.”
Simon smiled.
“When connecting with a chimera the feeling on the fovea side was much better.”
“okay?”
“Yeah they stick together neatly without any sense of resistance.”
Anyway the students who finished the evaluation were free.
I went near ‘Roina’s Flowerpot’ to see other students’ chimera or sat down and chatted while resting. Some students even made another chimera for fun using their spare time.
Simon was clearing the messy table.
“Summoning classes look interesting.”
Simon looked back in surprise. A gray-haired male student wearing a bandage appeared at the outside training center and was walking towards him.
“Kazan!”
Kazan smiled tiredly and scratched the wound in his eye.
“The Department of Matus wore a cursed bracelet and ran all over Rock Island all day long. The performance evaluation was said to be crossing the desert.”
“…Ahaha. Professor Hongfeng values stamina the most.”
Kazan looked around and pointed to the side. Simon nodded his head and quietly followed him.
A bench at the back of an empty building.
Kazan took out the request document he had taken and showed it.
Registration Request: Corpse Separation
Quest Grade: F
Quest reward: 5 gold
Location: Dresden Kingdom Tarados Manor
Details: Monster corpse separation and service provision
Special: 1168798164
“The problem was the singularity here. As expected the password.”
Kazan’s mouth opened.
“In Tarados they used a language called ‘Lukio’ which has now disappeared due to the continental language. It seems that it is the native language of the natives of Tarados.”
Kazan took out a Rookie word table and held it up.
“Here’s a combination of this number and the first word of the number in the Rookie word table.”
“I’ll give it a try.”
Simon looked at the request form and the Rookie word table alternately to check.
“It’s two numbers and one word right?”
“okay.”
“Three.
For an instant Simon felt goosebumps all over his body.
“Help me.”
“okay.”
Kazan nodded with a serious expression.
“Something crazy seems to be going on in Tarados.”
