Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 602
After the weekend and two days of major classes.
The midterm exams have finally begun.
Simon also forgot all about Manus and concentrated on studying handwriting.
“Don’t be nervous so that you can demonstrate your capabilities as much as you have prepared.”
said Aaron. Upside down test papers lay in front of the students’ desks with their hands above their heads.
“Cheating is zero. I won’t tell you not to do it but if you can do it.”
As befits a summoning professor Aaron’s method of catching cheaters is also unique. There were dragonfly-like creatures with multiple eyes floating around him.
He checked his watch and opened his mouth.
“Begin.”
It was a hard march.
The major exam is more than 4 hours long. Even if menstruation comes you have to endure a thorough concentration fight.
Simon solved each one by focusing on the heavy paper and the black letters written on it.
During the midterm each professor had a unique way of catching cheating and it was a little fun to see.
The professors of the Summoning Department each brought out summons to complement their visual and auditory abilities Jane calculated the space in the classroom and placed teaching assistants at the back and sides Hong Feng climbed up on the podium and looked down at the students as if pressing down.
“Excuse me for a moment gentlemen.”
Bahil put a curse on the ‘space’ itself called the lecture room. The students had to take the exam while trembling in the red-hot classroom like a scene from a horror novel.
It was more scary because I didn’t know how the curse worked. I had no intention of cheating but it would be terrible if the curse even misfired.
“hmm.”
So Bahil left cheating monitoring to his own curse pretending to walk around and eagerly looking through Simon’s test papers.
‘Boo it’s burdensome!’
Simon the person involved felt like crying. In particular when Simon wrote down the answer to the subject matter question he was so close behind him that he could feel Bahil’s excited breath.
– Great! great! great! great!
The back of Simon’s head was sore from watching him with those eyes from behind.
Seeing that he completely forgot his duty as a test supervisor Chehekl the chief assistant slapped him on the back suppressed him and dragged him away.
And the most difficult subject was ‘Emperorship’ which was unexpectedly taken on the last day.
-North and south wind of Baldwin Kingdom. Choose all of the plates and utensils with the wrong angle.
-Choose the wrong order of courses. However the season is summer and the dress code is black.
‘What does the dress code have to do with the order of the courses!’
The etiquette of the Royal Academy felt like a prank by nobles. I wondered if I should pay close attention to a pleasant meal.
And the easiest was the test that followed.
“… What are you doing now?”
Sacred Defense Professor Farahhan asked with a puzzled expression.
“ah.”
Simon who had been lying face down with the exam papers covered 5 minutes after the start of the exam got up.
“Release everything.”
For a while the eyes of unlucky eyes were shot around but I couldn’t afford to care about other people’s gazes. Simon’s fatigue was piled up so he lay down and closed his eyes.
An hour later a clear bell sounded.
“finished!”
“Now liberation!”
Students threw test papers and cheered. All of them had neat faces and sunken eyes but all of them seemed to be in the best mood.
But Simon couldn’t like it yet.
There was one more test left that was just as important as the midterm.
‘Let’s go back quickly.’
In the meantime I went all-in for the midterm exam and now it’s time to prepare for Manus Dullahan again.
Two days left.
Simon headed to the ‘Ruins of Peer’ where the Ancient Undead of the Legion not the mutant club were located.
-This terrible thing must be discarded!
In fact upon learning that Simon was injured while making Manus Dullahan Benja became enraged and insisted that Manus be scrapped. But Simon shook his head.
– The injury was entirely my mistake. I think it’s still too early to give up on research.
Benja was concerned but Simon held the ownership of Manus so he didn’t stop it.
However it was dangerous to keep it in the basement of the club because there were first-year students so Simon decided to move Manus to the safe ruins of Pier.
[Khehehe! Come on boy!]
[Are you here? young master.]
[I am the commander of the corps~]
Simon’s Ancient Undead.
Peer Achemus and Elizabeth welcomed me. The Lich staff ‘Hersheba’ floating in the air also waved its body from side to side and said hello.
“How’s everyone?”
Simon greeted them and moved on.
I saw Manus’ skull on top of the ruins altar.
“During the midterm Manus was fine right?”
[Khehehe! okay. He was silent.]
Simon slumped down in his seat and began to pull out the materials for making Durahan.
Elizabeth approached with a worried face.
[Will you be all right right after the exam? Taking a break today.]
“no.”
Simon took out his work tools and said seriously.
“Even now it’s too late. Whether it’s porridge or rice it’s time to pay off.”
Simon took out a zombie from subspace.
“Would you like to come too Prince?”
Simon said that to the gray ring he wore on his left hand and placed the ring on the zombie’s body. Quarreung soon! And black lightning fell on the zombie which transformed into the prince.
[Ha ha ha ha ha!]
As soon as Prince appeared he stretched out his hand and pointed at Manus.
[Nice Manus! How does it feel to have only your head left?]
Prince and Manus had fought over the leadership of Death Land. Simon shook his head.
“Manus’ thoughts have long since gone.”
Either way the Prince was intent on making fun of Manus.
Simon laughed and took out the ingredients from the subspace.
‘Okay let’s start again slowly.’
* * *
Simon succeeded in making a Dyurahan with Abaddon.
But with this he couldn’t beat Hector and Aseraz as well as the other students who had the Guardian in their hands. He somehow had to complete Manus Dullahan.
‘Still during the midterm my thoughts were sorted out.’
An extremely brief summary of the production process of Dullahan is as follows.
1) Draw two summoning magic circles on the head and body.
2) The two summoning magic circles are connected with ‘Interlock Rune’.
In this way the two parts are undoubtedly separated from each other but the head of the undead controls the torso with the ‘interlocking rune’.
There are many reasons for taking this approach which at first glance seems inefficient.
‘…Durahan’s explosive power and output.’
Dyurahan absorbs a large amount of mana and the ‘Jilheuk Engine’ runs rampant to deliver the jet black to the whole body. In the process the body takes an enormous load.
If there is a summoning magic circle inside the body it will be engulfed in the runaway pitch black and damaged within a minute.
Just like the ghouls that are destroyed after using Reno’s golden line Dyurahan must have become an undead that can be used and discarded once.
However the modern Dullahan keeps the summoning magic circle which is the core in the ‘head’. It became possible to let the body run wild without any room for damage.
‘It’s amazing even thinking about it again.’
The creators of the first Dyurahan turned the disadvantage that the neck and body are separated into an advantage.
This is what I learned from special lectures by professors of Summoning Studies.
However the ‘interlocking rune’ used in Dyurahan is basically only applicable to undead with the same body and head.
Simon couldn’t find a breakthrough at this point and was stuck.
“Failed again.”
Simon lay down on his back at the disastrous result of the practice material. Then Peer says keuhehe! approached with a smile
[Why don’t you rather give up that ‘interlocking rune’?]
“yes?”
Peer sat down next to Simon.
[I don’t know the details of human black magic but the rune language can’t link two different entities.]
“but.”
Simon crossed his arms and closed his eyes.
“That’s the core of Dyurahan. If you don’t use interlocking runes and key formulas you can’t even call it ‘Durahan’ in the first place.”
I thought about assembling Manus into a skeleton but I couldn’t fully demonstrate my strength if I put another skeleton’s body on it.
Above all what he promised Aaron to learn about the Bone Dragon was to create the most outstanding ‘Durahan’ among his peers.
He could never give up on his second year’s final goal the Bone Dragon.
[May I say something? young master.]
Then Achemus intervened.
[The body of the undead is also important. It is difficult to find cases in which other thoughts move the body during life. Of course with one exception-]
“if there is?”
[chimera. Among them Abomination.]
There was a difference in Achemus’ eyes.
[As an undead I don’t see things like that but Abominations don’t move by mixing different flesh?]
Upon hearing this Simon jumped up from his seat.
* * *
“With the thoughts of an undead can you make the bodies of other undead move?”
Simon came to Grerion’s lab/cave where he had to travel on the train he had visited during his first class in Summoning Materials.
The middle of the cave was full of misty moisture and smelled of sweat.
“Whoa.”
Grerion was repeatedly lifting and lowering weights in the middle of the cave. On both sides of the iron rod hung rocks of equal size.
‘…How can people hear that?’
Simon watched the scene with his mouth open.
thud!
Grerion put down the weight and finally approached Simon. His figure wiping the sweat with the towel around his neck was clearly thinner than before.
It had been that way ever since the Battle of Prigod Autonomous District and it seemed that it was a reactionary who used a technique to make its entire body a chimera.
“Why are you curious about that?”
Simon quickly stepped aside.
Grerion didn’t come to Simon he just went to pick up another tool. This time he held onto a large lever-like device connected to the cave with both hands and repeatedly closed and opened it.
Kudo deuk!
Deed Deed Deed!
Every time the cave trembles as if it were crying out.
“Students think now is the time to focus on making Dyurahan.”
Simon smiled awkwardly and opened his mouth.
“actually….”
I honestly explained everything to Grerion. He said that the only ‘guardian’ he had at the moment was his body so he wanted to make that guardian’s body move with the head of another undead.
Hearing that Greerion laughed out loud.
“What an interesting idea! I usually just dismiss it as a delusion when I think about it but it’s interesting that you seriously came to me for help!”
thud!
He put down the lever and came closer.
“As Aaron said.”
“yes?”
“No it’s nothing. If you ask if it’s possible to link the body of another individual undead with the thoughts of an undead it’s possible under certain premise.”
He took out several books from subspace.
“Maybe you came with the Abomination in mind?”
…How did know?
Thinking that professors are different Simon nodded his head obediently.
“First of all the rune language used by the Abomination is like this.”
Seeing this Simon’s eyes widened rapidly.
‘Oh it’s difficult.’
Not only was it difficult but the rune language and system used by Simon were also different.
“And while the Abomination seems to be a jumbled mess of flesh it’s actually treated with chimera technology so that multiple bodies act as one body. It’s not like moving two different bodies.”
“…ah.”
thud!
Grerion hit the cave with his fist.
“I’ll ask Simon Pollentia.”
“Yes! Tell me.”
“Your idea is undeniably unconventional.”
Grerion raised an eyebrow.
“But why isn’t the method unconventional?”
“…!”
“Why do you want to refer to the existing knowledge of summoning and why do you want to follow only the system of runes that already exist?”
He raised Grerion’s thick arm.
“I consider your idea a delusion. But you seriously try to make that delusion a reality. What is the reason? Is it because it would be nice to simply do that? Is it cool? Because it would be great to complete it? Not all of them.”
His fingertips stopped in front of Simon’s forehead.
“Because I really think I can.”
“….”
“The answer is in your head. Can you really with all the means at your disposal claim to be making that delusional durahan?”
It felt like being hit in the back of the head with a hammer.
Suddenly my heart thumped.
I don’t think I heard anything that important but a fire lit up in my heart.
“…thank you!”
A smile finally formed on Simon’s lips.
“I think I can.”
Looking at Simon’s back as he left Grerion smiled.
-If Simon comes to you to ask for help with the production of Durahan please point out the direction rather than technical advice.
‘…He’s his direct disciple so the diagnosis is accurate.’
Time passed like that.
Finally the day of the ‘single undead operation’ performance evaluation came.
