Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 604
It was a harsh rule.
If you don’t catch all the monsters you called within 15 minutes you get merciless ‘0 points’.
Of course there was at least a safety device but there was a ‘team score’ in this test.
A team of 8 people made up of 2 groups. Teams are ranked by summing the points of each team member and team points are given differentially according to the ranking.
Even if your individual score is 0 due to missing a monster if you belong to a team with a high team score you have a little room for recovery.
Of course there is only room for recovery but in fact getting a good individual score was the most important thing.
“This is Esch Arzel!”
Eshu raised his hand while listening to the explanation about the team score.
“You said that 2 groups are one team but our department has 13 groups?”
“Even if it wasn’t I tried to explain it.”
Aaron said calmly.
He saw assistants approaching him setting down a box and pouring numbered marbles into it.
“Since the number of groups is odd only one randomly drawn group here will play the game with only four players. Instead the team score multiplier is doubled.”
Having said that Aaron put his hand into the box and the students whispered with a worried look on their faces.
“A team of four is it good?”
“…Well it probably depends on the situation. Both the benefits and the risks are doubled.”
“A team with good power will have an advantage.”
“I think it will be very burdensome.”
Click!
Aaron pulled a marble from the box.
Then I checked the numbers on the surface.
“The group of 4 people who take the test is ‘group 8’.”
Ahhh-!
Sighs were heard everywhere.
Of course Team 8 is currently considered the strongest group in Class A.
Aceraz Mikel and a powerful two-topper named White were holding on.
“All right.”
Aseraj the team leader replied with a confident smile. White as usual stared blankly at her blank face while the other two members struggled to hold back laughter of joy.
“Is it like this?”
“First place is unconditionally in group 8.”
After that Aaron designated the rest of the teams as well.
“I’ll pull it out!”
“I’ll pick one too!”
It looked like fun but the professors of Lin and Rune twins begged them to do it themselves.
Rin chose one group and Rune picked the other group forming a team.
Team 1: Group 1 Group 9.
Team 2: Groups 3 and 12.
Team 3: Group 5 Group 7.
Team 4: Group 6. Article 13
Team 5: Group 8.
Team 6: Group 4 Group 10.
Team 7: Group 2. Article 11.
Simon is 6 teams. That was the sixth turn.
‘It’s fortunate that it’s in the second half.’
Simon naturally thought that the later order was advantageous.
Although the psychological pressure will be great because of the scores obtained by the students in front it will be easier to make judgments by looking at the previous order.
“Oh student council president!”
The leader of Team 4 who seems to be seen often these days approached with a smile on his face.
In the last ghoul performance evaluation they joined Simon’s strategy and defeated Hector Joe and took second place.
“Are 10 groups involved like this again? Please take good care of me!”
The leader of Team 4 held out his hand and Simon smiled as he held it.
“Yes. Please take good care of me.”
Not bad for 4 trillion.
Of course it would be ideal to join forces with Hector’s 1st group or Cerne and Fitzgerald’s 11th group to contain Aseraz’s 8th group but that was too greedy.
The other members of the 4th group who came after them shook hands with Lorraine Toto and Eshu and strengthened their fighting spirit.
“Eshu!”
“nice to meet you!”
In particular Eshu seemed to like it very much because his best friend whom he ate with was in the 4th group. The two held hands and ran around.
“Excuse me.”
While the members of the group were talking the summoning assistant came over and handed out handouts one by one.
“This is a list of monsters that appear in the underground dungeon. There are also characteristics of the monsters so please refer to them when making a strategy.”
“thank you!”
Teams 10 and 4 sat around the table and immediately established a strategy.
“There are five types of monsters in total.”
said Lorraine.
< Green Oak Hammer Knoll Jejili Mine Kobold Stone Harpy. >
“There are no difficult monsters. Stone Harpies who can fly are a bit tricky.”
“Are they randomly mixed out of these five types?”
“that’s right.”
A male student from Group 4 whose father said he was a hunter explained. He knew every detail of the monster’s characteristics.
“I think Jejili is a variable.”
A sleepy-eyed boy with drooping eyes pointed at a picture of a monster with his fingertips.
“This guy’s nickname is ‘Cowardly Jezilli.’
“You’re not escaping by digging a hole or flying in the sky are you?”
“I can’t do that.”
“It’s fortunate.”
“I’ll have to leave the jet black needed for the chase.”
Students quickly shared important guidelines.
Certainly not monsters strong enough to destroy Dyurahan so focus on reducing the number of heads by pushing as hard as possible without sparing your strength for 15 minutes.
If the battle is unfavorable Jezilli who runs away should be killed as early in the battle as possible. Next the Stone Harpy can fly so kill it with the second priority.
After sharing such information the order of appearances was decided.
“Who do you want to take the first turn?”
“I think the vanguard is really important. It’s a fight of momentum.”
The members of the team heated up as if the order was extremely important but Simon who was silently listening in the background had a different idea.
‘There is a team score but it’s not a test that requires team play or teamwork.’
Thinking so Simon leaned back.
‘This is a thorough individual exhibition. When it’s my turn it’s for the team’s sake to catch monsters as accurately as I can.’
Then I heard Professor Grerion’s voice.
“Come on! Let’s begin. First team out!”
* * *
Team 1 Hector’s 1st group and 6th group moved to the test site.
The rest of the students moved to the lounge and observation room.
“Wow revamp this sofa!”
Everyone was tensed up ahead of the big test but Eshu buried himself on the sofa smiling calmly.
‘surely.’
It was a good place to stay. There is also a stove and a kettle to eat when you are bored. The toilets are also quite close.
And in front of the break room there was a screen that operated as a mana output machine and students were already huddled in front of it.
“Now we begin!”
The mana screen worked.
I could see the students in Groups 1 and 6 standing in a line in front of the exam hall in the order they appeared. Hector the strongest was the last.
Then a dungeon keeper in a black robe approached.
He was a mature man with wrinkles and his arms visible through his robe were full of all sorts of scratches.
“name.”
“Ko Koiter Pizzen.”
Koiter seemed extremely nervous probably because it was his first time in the department. His lips were quivering.
“How many monsters?”
Koiter took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“Twenty please.”
Simon who was watching from the waiting room tilted his head curiously.
20? Isn’t that too little?
In addition if it was Coiter Pigeon he was the first student to shout ‘A’ in response to Aaron’s question.
“Confirmed.”
The dungeon keeper retreated and Coiter Pigeon arrived at the test site.
There were no monsters in the spacious underground space so it felt empty.
Coit Pizzen is the end of the place.
I stood in a place blocked by barriers.
-Coiter Pizzen student. Please bring out the undead.
A broadcast sound was heard. Coiter Pizzen nodded and took out the durahan he made from the space.
The main ingredient seemed to be Abaddon. His whole body was covered in armor and he chose a greatsword as his weapon.
– We’ll start when we’re ready.
Fortunately preparation time was unlimited.
Coiter piled up formulas on the prepared magic circle step by step and as soon as the finishing work was over he attached the magic circle to Dullahan’s back.
Whoops!
The magic circle worked like a power supply and started waking Dyurahan.
Dyurahan who had stopped in place slowly raised his head and lifted his head off the floor.
Keying-!
Flames flickered in the two pupils of his head.
“Chi please start!”
Coiter Pizzen exclaimed hastily.
-Coiter Pizzen student. It’s the beginning of the test.
Chunk! Chunk!
The entrance to the underground dungeon opened and twenty monsters poured out. Coiter roared vigorously and stretched out his arms.
“Let’s go! Dyurahan!”
* * *
The result was bland.
“?!”
Dullahan of Coiter Pizzen was strong.
It took only 4 minutes for 20 monsters to fall.
The remaining time was 11 minutes.
“Uh. Huh…?”
However even after catching the monster the test was not over. The test is over when the 15-minute time limit has elapsed.
Coiter held onto his hair and cried.
“Shit it was a mistake! It was a mistake! I could have won even if it was many times more than now!”
He spent the rest of his days bitterly beating himself.
It was because they were too conscious of the risk that if they missed even one they would get ‘0 points’.
at last.
– timeout.
No matter how much strength I had left I couldn’t do anything.
I had no choice but to stand with Dyurahan helplessly for 11 minutes.
The remaining 11 minutes felt like an eternity.
– Koiter Pizzen student completed killing 20 monsters within the time limit.
– Coiter Pizzen students and Group 1 scored 20 points.
bang!
Coming out to the waiting room Koiter was immediately grabbed by Hector and pushed against the wall.
“What are you doing!”
Hector growled enraged. Coiter waved his arm through tears.
“I-I didn’t know this would happen! I didn’t know this would happen!”
“Did you say something like A-class in front of the professor with that kind of self-esteem?”
Koiter Pizzen looked at the other students as if it was unfair.
“Everyone everyone said! Even if the score is somewhat low let’s not get 0 points! Let’s go steadily! If we don’t get 0 points we’ll win! It was that kind of strategy!”
All the students who caught Koiter’s gaze slightly averted their eyes.
“I am. Calm down Hector.”
Someone put a hand on Hector’s shoulder. When Hector turned around with angry eyes the elongated male student was smiling.
“I just want you to learn the lesson in the first turn. I’ll get points hot and come back.”
-Next turn please come in.
“Yeah~ yeah.”
Hearing the broadcast he waved his hand and headed for the test site.
“Everybody just watch.”
The male student stood in front of the barrier of the underground dungeon.
“It’s Kurte Tremblay!”
The dungeon keeper nodded.
“How many monsters?”
Kurt grinned.
“What is 20? Like a man quadruple! 80 please.”
* * *
15 minutes later.
– timeout.
Kurt’s face was pale.
-Court Tremblay student out of 80 monsters within the time limit 76 monsters have been eliminated.
– 4 remaining monsters.
-Kurt Tremblay and Group 1 scored 0 points.
Aaaaaaaaa!
From the waiting area beyond the wall an enraged Hector could be heard shouting.
I could even feel the bloody Dragon Fear.
“Uh uh how come…”
Kurt sat down with a blank face.
this test.
It wasn’t as easy as I thought.
