Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 503
The battle with the Undead Army is over.
Following the Garnes Guild the Tarados regular army joined Simon’s side. The soldiers each brandished their weapons to prevent the regenerating undead from rising again.
And Simon the only one who can annihilate them passes by and finishes with the Greatsword of Destruction. There were no undead soldiers reviving anymore.
“Here we camp!”
“Move quickly before night falls!”
It was getting dark. The nights of Tarados are notoriously cold so with Simon’s intervention the two factions camped together.
Even in the midst of this Serene seemed to want to fight against the regular soldiers led by Lorraine with her band of bandits but Simon stopped them.
Daang! Daang!
While the girls sat and rested Kazan carried a nail in his mouth and hammered skillfully. A large military curtain was quickly being built.
‘It’s harder than it looks.’
Simon was also helping Kazan.
It is a task that requires fixing the rope connected to the tent by winding it around an iron stake but there are more things to be concerned about than it looks. I had to pull the tent in a balanced way and I had to find a solid ground avoiding sandy places.
“How are you Simon?”
Then a dark-haired girl approached Simon.
“Ah Lorraine!”
“Can I help you?”
“No no I can do it myself.”
She nodded and sat down next to Simon to watch.
Somehow there was someone watching next to me so I became nervous. Simon’s hammering also became more careful.
land- land-
“I was really surprised.”
said Simon hammering.
“The fact that you led the lord’s troops and that Serene brought the Garnes Guild.”
Lorraine smiled.
“A lot happened.”
She said that this mission evaluation also came to stop Serene’s conspiracy.
Upon learning that Cerne was going to Tarados Simon’s destination she asked the school to prepare an additional teleportation magic circle to Tarados.
However the day before the mission evaluation contact with the servants dispatched to Tarados was suddenly cut off.
Lorraine realized the seriousness of the situation and came over to Tarados before Simon.
The ones waiting for her were the soldiers sent by the ‘Society’. They even tried to catch Lorraine after seeing the Kizen uniform.
“That’s why there was no teleport magic circle to Tarados.”
“that’s right.”
“It’s jingle jingle~ Really.”
Serene was walking toward the two with her arms crossed.
“How could you think of following me to a place like this?”
In order to avoid Lorraine’s pursuit Cerne received a request from another region and then came over to Tarados with the Ivory Tower’s teleportation magic circle.
Lorraine raised her eyes.
“Of course I have to. It won’t turn out the way your ivory tower wants.”
Faced directly with the flashing red eyes Serene smiled.
“At school you behaved like a wild beast with your arms and legs tied. You show your true colors as soon as you come out.”
She pointed to the padlock necklace Lorraine was wearing around her neck.
The lock was open.
“therefore-“
Lorraine chilled his brain with his will to live.
“Think carefully about each one before you act. If you do anything suspicious I’ll hit you first.”
“Oh my~ I’m scared.”
“Stop fighting.”
Just then Kazan with a hammer burst out from behind the curtain.
“I can’t just sit around here. I want to make concrete plans for the future.”
* * *
Kazan immediately called the referees to the tent here.
The coachman who served as a guide and Sera the younger sister of the client.
General Amin leads the Tarados regular army.
Even the thief captain Karak who leads the Ganeth Guild and claims to be Serne’s right hand.
“This is Amin.”
General Amin started the briefing as a representative.
“This is the entrance to the secret base of the ‘Society’ where we camped. All prisoners captured from all over Tarados are sent here.”
Simon straightened up and sat down.
“…What will happen after being sent to the secret base?”
“I only saw the ‘door’ open from afar but I don’t know what will happen to those who are dragged away.”
“Excuse me. That’s enough~”
Serene tucked her hair under her ears.
“Tell me how you can get into that secret base or something.”
Because it gave off an atmosphere that was incompatible with the original General Amin also treated it politely.
“Yes. First of all it is estimated that midnight is the time to enter the secret base. All the prisoners are moved at night and arrive at the ruins at midnight. Not once has the time zone been wrong and sometimes if there are too many prisoners we send them back and then Sometimes they would take me in at midnight.”
This was something I heard from Lorraine earlier.
That’s why we camped at the ruins and held out until midnight.
“Then how do I open the door at midnight?”
At Kazan’s question Amin took out a key from his pocket and showed it.
“This is the key I got from the lord. At midnight when the space is twisted in the ruins insert this key and you will be able to open the door to the secret base.”
“Uh that key! Our boss had it too.”
This time Karak the bandit leader raised his hand and said. Then he looked at Serene and quickly corrected his words.
“Of course he’s just the old boss! Now he serves our queen!”
“Oh you’re a faithful man.”
Serene laughed loudly. Her Lorraine gaze turned to her.
“What did you do with Garnes the Black Wolf?”
“How did you do it?”
Serene shrugged.
“He dared to point a weapon at me didn’t control his mind and made a mess out of anger. He ran away covered in blood and weeping but I think he must have died by now.”
“As expected Queen! The only being on the continent who can overwhelm Captain Ganeth like that is our Queen!”
Simon who was listening to the story laughed. He wondered how he got his hands on the Ganeth Guild but he just overpowered it by force.
“Then how did you bring the lord soldier?”
This time Serene asked Lorraine. she replied with a sigh.
“Finding you and Simon was the priority but the situation in Tarados was so serious that I couldn’t just let it go.
also.
As she was the person who would succeed Nephthys she felt a great sense of responsibility for the current Tarados incident.
“The lord arrested him and put him in the dungeon.”
In fact even among Tarados’ soldiers the lord’s reputation was the worst. It was only natural that while he made his soldiers play the villains their salaries continued to be withheld making various excuses.
Amin’s popularity is much higher than that of the lord. Upon hearing that the lord was imprisoned and Amin staged a coup most of the soldiers sided with Amin.
All the regulars brought in now were soldiers loyal to Amin not to the lord.
“Let’s get back to the topic. This is a rough map of the inside of the secret base in the lord’s vault.”
Amin set the map down on the table. Kazan tilted her head to see it.
“It’s too classified for an outsider to be holding.”
“The lord entered as a member of the society. As much as it provides a huge amount of manpower he must have been an important figure for the society.”
Simon clapped his hands.
“Okay. Then I’ll rest until midnight and when it’s time I’ll open the door to the space with the key and enter.”
Simon turned his head to see Lisa who had a nervous expression on her face.
“Don’t worry Lisa. I’ll be sure to rescue you.”
“huh!”
She nodded. At the same time the necklace around Simon’s neck swayed.
[Wait a minute! Don’t forget to prioritize! My body comes first!]
‘okay. knife.’
Simon looked around at the other students.
“Are you all going to help?”
Kazan nodded.
“This has already been said. I’m your escort and I’m willing to cooperate in anything.”
Lorraine also helped.
“As Kizen I can’t pretend I didn’t see the tragedy of Tarados. I’ll do my best to help.”
Serene said with a smile.
“I don’t like it~”
‘huh?’
Then he spread out his palms.
“Won’t you know if I give you a fair price for that?”
“…Yes you.”
Serene is not only a powerful being in her own right but also a person who does not have to hide the strength of the commander. Her help is essential.
Simon let out a long sigh and looked up.
“What do you want?”
“As always you have to stamp the coupon.”
Serene winked and spread three fingers.
“About three copies this time?”
“….”
To be honest I tried not to pay attention to her coupon coupons at first but since she kept appealing like that I couldn’t stop paying attention.
If you collect all 10 cards what kind of wish do you want to make? I even felt a little bit scared.
“Three is too much. Do it in one.”
“Three chapters.”
“One sheet.”
“Three chapters.”
“One sheet.”
Disagreements are seldom narrowed down.
Then Serene winked cutely and grabbed Simon’s arm.
“How about three with the addition of an intimate date time with me?”
“Big! My queen…!”
Bandit leader Karak glared at Simon with eyes burning with jealousy.
Either way Simon continued the negotiations.
“Then wouldn’t it be right to shave it off?”
“Wow that’s too much!”
“Then two pieces including the time-consuming ones.”
“That’s fine!”
Serene finally reached out her hand as if satisfied and Simon shook hands.
* * *
As time passed the surroundings became dark.
Serene who has a lot of My Way temperament calmly covered the blanket and closed her eyes while Kazan analyzed the map of the secret base in detail.
And Lorraine set out to prepare dinner.
“I’ll make something simple. I thought it would be nice to eat something before a big battle.”
She raised herself up with the bucket and Simon followed suit.
“Oh I’ll help you too.”
As the day got dark the two of them walked together to open the underground water that was said to flow near the ruins.
There were no cooking facilities so each person had to take care of what to eat. Fortunately there was a cooking set in the subspace so I was thinking of making a simple vegetable soup.
“….”
Simon glanced at Lorraine as he walked with an empty bucket.
Her steps are light today. Sometimes she even walks like a little hop.
An expression that looks kind of carefree.
It was definitely different from how it was at school.
“Where do you keep looking?”
Lorraine asked playfully. Simon startled quickly turned his head.
“No that…”
“Do you care about this?”
She waved a padlock necklace. Simon nodded her head slightly.
Actually I wanted to keep asking but lately Lorraine’s expression had always been overshadowed and she was reluctant to say anything because it might be a family problem with Nephthys.
“When I was on vacation my mom said this.”
Lorraine touched the lock. She had her long eyelashes down.
“During the first year of Kizen how much did you grow compared to Simon and other classmates?”
“….”
“I didn’t have anything to say.”
Lorraine is already a complete necromancer in her own right.
Her red ability which works on a summoned object becomes strong enough to defeat 10 skeletons alone when given to a skeleton and becomes faster than any other skeleton horse in the world when given to a skeleton horse.
However as strong as the superpowers were dependence on the superpowers was a problem.
Simon scratched his head in embarrassment.
“…Did you compare me? I’m sorry for some reason.”
“What is there to be sorry for? And the second example my mother gave was Pantasus senior. He also became the strongest in Kizen by polishing only one curse without having an ability. I did think so.”
Simon nodded silently and listened to her story.
“It was also true that I wasn’t motivated to study for the first year.”
The night wind blew and her black hair fluttered.
“Because nothing I learned at school was stronger than my ability. Rather than learning I was involved in the management of the school and tried to prove my abilities as a manager to adults. However as a student I was missing something important.”
Before we knew it we arrived at a place where underground water flows. As she sets her bucket down where her pit has been dug her water is filling up bit by bit.
The two sat down and waited.
“So there are restrictions.”
She brought her legs together and pulled them up to her chest.
“Don’t interfere with the school’s operation until graduation. It’s my mother’s order.”
“…That’s why you couldn’t stop it by stepping up to the front during the third year’s declaration ceremony.”
“Yeah. I don’t have any authority. And secondly-“
She closed the padlock on the end of her necklace then blackened her palms.
There was no red aura at all and a pure black jet-black shimmered like her hair.
“I will seal my abilities on campus.”
“….”
“All future classes exams and performance evaluations must be resolved with the power of a necromancer without any special powers. “
Simon opened his mouth.
“It’s not a problem for me to say but isn’t it a bit excessive? You’ve been using dark magic by mixing supernatural powers with jet-darkness until now. If you suddenly block it…”
“Yes that’s right. I might have become a less-than-average necromancer at Kizen.”
She folded her palms that had caused darkness and clenched her fists.
“Simon after spending a day or two like that.”
Then he looked at Simon and smiled.
“You made me respect you.”
Simon pointed at himself with a puzzled expression.
“me?”
