Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 952
The second day’s work was completed.
After work, it is now free time. The selected students, who had already become close to each other after coming from middle school, left for the downtown area of Sky Island as soon as class ended.
And Simon was alone.
He returned to his dorm alone and ordered food from the dorm kitchen. As he sits alone at the large, eight-person table and waits quietly, he hears the clatter of food being prepared in the kitchen.
After a while, the food came out.
‘…hmm.’
All the food was white. Things like multigrain bread with nothing inside or white soup. There is no meat to be found.
Is it a virtue for believers in the Federation to eat food like this? Simon thought about this and that and took a bite of the white soup.
‘It’s so bland!’
Even though the selected candidate is a trainee, this is a bit too much. I don’t know if it’s breakfast, but I don’t think I’ll be full from this type of food in the evening. Simon, who was very active and at the age of eating, desperately needed meat.
Suddenly, I became envious of my classmates who had gone off to downtown on their own.
‘…I can’t help it.’
There was something like an invisible wall.
The fact that eight of the selected students came from the middle school division has already solidified their network, and the fact that only two of the selected students are men is also true.
As Afnel is a religious organization, it tends to be wary of unfamiliar people of the opposite sex. It was difficult to get close to Simon because everyone got nervous as soon as he got close.
While comforting himself, Simon took a bite of bread.
‘Because it’s easier to do the investigation alone and quietly. ‘I guess I’ll ask Lethe to take me to a restaurant tomorrow.’
At that time, Simon was having a lonely dinner, thinking about various things.
Rattling.
I can hear the sound of a food tray being set down from the seat across from me. A girl with lemon-colored hair in two braids sat down.
Simon immediately remembered his face and expression.
‘Number 9 Lisa.’
Like Euclid, he was a select student from outside.
Not much was known about her. The only background she knows in the Holy Federation is that she is from an ethnic minority from a remote area. Her bracelets and collar have diamond-shaped patterns, and her nose and lips are very small.
Rattling.
Sweet.
An awkward silence falls as the meal continues.
She sits at the same table, but the distance feels very far. The two quietly scooped up the white soup and put it into their mouths.
‘I can’t sit still like this, this is an opportunity.’
A chance to make friends and gain information.
Simon gathered courage and opened his mouth.
“excuse me….”
surprise!
She was startled and stopped her movements. The spoon that was scooping up the soup flew up loudly and fell with a clatter on the floor.
“I’m sorry!”
“?”
Simon was sweating profusely. I think this is the one who needs to apologize.
“Were you surprised when he suddenly spoke to you? are you okay?”
Simon got down from her chair and went over to pick up her spoon, and she, at a loss, reached down with her arms.
and.
Percussion.
The two people’s hands touched exactly on the spoon.
“Hkkiyaaaak!”
A startled reaction at the mere touch of a hand.
She said, shaking her hands.
“It’s not intentional!”
I feel like they keep taking away my lines. Simon smiled bitterly, picked up her spoon, and went to the kitchen.
He soon told her about her situation, took her new spoon, handed it to her, and wiped her floor clean with her rag.
“are you okay?”
“It’s okay… Hiccup! “It’s disgusting!”
What kind of language is this?
Simon sat down again.
“I’m sorry for startling you earlier. “I am Euclid.”
“ancient! ancient! “It’s Lisa…!”
“Since we are both recruits from outside, we wanted to talk about it at least once.”
Simon told her ordinary, everyday stories in a friendly voice to make her feel at ease as much as possible.
The class was harder than expected, and the food tasted bland, which was disappointing. The Shinsung train that came into Afnel was so big that it was surprising.
She seemed to have calmed down a little, nodding her head and listening to her story, when she suddenly spoke.
“excuse me! Priest Euclid’s divinity…! “It’s the power we saw in class!”
“?”
Her thin lips twitched slightly and she smiled.
“It’s so beautiful…!”
“ah.”
Simon also laughed.
“thank you. “Lisa also did well in sacred mechanics class.”
“Hmm!”
She was startled and tried to drop her spoon again.
Simon, who had decided to give up trying to figure out where the surprise was, continued quickly.
“It’s okay to call or say whatever you feel comfortable with. Oh, by the way…”
“Lisa!”
The two people’s heads turned.
From upstairs, a girl with sharp green short hair was coming down the stairs.
“Let’s go out and have dinner together, so what are you doing here…!”
As she said that, her eyes widened when she saw Simon, and her impression hardened.
Simon also realized who she was.
‘Number 3, Maricello.’
As a result, he is in the same class as the genius Meryl and Sway, the son of Raitt, so he is the starting number three, but his talent is so outstanding that he is not inferior to the two.
She was glaring at Simon as if she were going to kill him.
‘More than anything, one of the three people who reacted when I showed my face.’
Among them, she was the one who showed hostility that bordered on anger.
Now that she looked, she wasn’t just angry.
Disgust. And there was also a little fear in her eyes.
“Lisa! “Why are you eating with that guy?”
“Hey, Maricello!”
“Come on!”
She grabbed Lisa’s wrist and dragged her outside. Even as she left, her murderous gaze did not go away.
Soon the door slams! And it closed. Simon, who was alone again, blinked.
‘I could have made friends, but it’s a shame. Rather…’
Suspicious.
I need to find out what happened between number 10 Euclid and number 3 Maricello as soon as possible.
Simon took out his notebook and was about to scribble.
“What are you doing here?”
This time, Meryl No. 1 was walking down the stairs from the upstairs quarters. She was sighing with a disapproving expression on her face.
‘You showed up.’
Tonight she has her excellent sacramental promise with her.
Simon slowly got up.
“Oh, I was eating and I just finished eating.”
“Then let’s clean up quickly and let’s go.”
Meryl touched her neck with an annoyed expression on her face and pointed outside the building.
“Because I don’t like wasting time.”
* * *
Simon brought Meryl to a nearby forest that he had noticed in advance.
He liked it because it was so deserted that few people came and went outside of class hours.
“No, I brought you here to talk about something.”
Meryl grumbled, but she came along well.
She is obviously the number one starter, so from the first day she received attention from her position and refused the honorary offer, she probably wants to avoid being picked on by Riri.
“Then, let’s do it here.”
Soon the two people knelt side by side.
“Why on earth am I doing this here?…”
She was still grumbling, but Simone held out her palms with a smile on her face. She thumps! I put my hand on top to make a sound. My hands were quite numb.
“Let me begin.”
Huh.
Simon closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled. When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Meryl with a slightly nervous expression.
“Sister. Do you swear in the name of the Goddess that you will confess all your sins and mistakes without lies?”
“…I swear.”
I received a rather disapproving answer.
Simon suddenly asked a question.
“Then do you remember the mistake you made on the train?”
I flinch.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, but soon a fiery voice came out.
“How dare you waste other people’s precious time because of something like that…!”
“What happened on the Sacred Train.”
Simon interrupted him and said solemnly:
“I would like you to confess it to the Great Mother in detail from beginning to end. “From a sister’s perspective.”
“Iik!”
I can hear her grinding her teeth.
“This is the opposite in the first place! This isn’t about you telling me your worries or mistakes! “I told you…!”
“Sister. The Great Goddess is watching.”
At times like this, long live the Holy Federation.
Almost any problem can be solved by referring to the goddess. As she pursed her lips, she finally told the story.
Before the Euclid murder incident.
It was a story about a time when Epnel’s selected students came up to Sky Island on the sacred train.
At that time, Meryl and Euclid were riding in the same train car, and they immediately recognized each other as selected students.
While talking, Meryl made a somewhat disparaging remark after hearing that Euclid was ‘number 10’, and Euclid was said to have burst into tears and got angry.
-If you’re so upset, why not prove your skills? Number 10, can you do this?
Meryl was so fearless that she stole a notebook from the pocket of an inquisitor who was traveling around the train. Euclid immediately went behind another Inquisitor’s back after hearing Meryl’s provocation asking if she could do it.
I was caught because I was inexperienced in operating a sacred space.
Euclid lashed out at the interrogator and pointed to Meryl, saying that he had been wronged and that he had also stolen it, but she had already returned her notebook to her owner and smiled, holding out her empty hands.
Simon, who was listening to the explanation, was sweating profusely.
‘Are they kids?’
Well, they were kids at that age.
Simone opened her squinted eyes and looked at her.
“Yes, yes! I was wrong! “Okay?”
Meryl tried to pull her hand away, but Simone held her hand with more force.
“This time it’s my concern. “It seems like there have been strange rumors going around about me among my brothers and sisters recently.”
“what?”
“So, I’m looking back to see what mistake I made, but was there anything else that happened on the train?”
After a moment of silence, as if she was thinking, she opened her mouth.
“…I do not remember?”
“?”
“Because of that, you were taken to the train commander’s office, interrogated for heresy, and returned to our compartment.”
She reportedly got into a fight with No. 3 Maricello out of nowhere.
Maricello even grabbed Euclid by the collar and shot him as if he were going to kill him, and Euclid laughed and provoked him.
He didn’t know if he had seen something in Marie Cello’s guest room on the way, or if he had accidentally caught a weak spot. Meryl doesn’t seem to know anything either.
“Then in the end, Maricello knocked you to the floor and punched you in the face. You tried to get up, but you couldn’t beat Maricello with a ‘holy fight.’ “I was beaten and survived because the passengers stopped me.”
There was mockery in her voice.
“Yes, I provoked you a bit at that time. Even if you die 10 times, you can’t win 3 times. You’ll always be at the bottom. Oh yeah. “You made me do this to spew this out of my mouth?”
She let go of her hand and jumped up.
“You’re annoying and shady. Euclid.”
“….”
“Don’t act proud just because you have some great divinity. “I will definitely defeat you.”
Jump, jump, jump.
Meryl quickly disappeared. Simone let out a long sigh and closed her eyes.
‘No. 3 Maricello.’
When Simone ran into her in the hotel restaurant, he couldn’t forget the look in her eyes.
That anger.
Her eyes were enough to kill a person.
‘It might be worth investigating further.’
Simon took out his notebook and organized the newly acquired information.
And when I woke up, the surroundings had already become dark.
‘Okay, the investigation ends here and now I have to do my job.’
Simon stretched out and raised the corners of his mouth.
Then he grabbed his right and left hands, and boom! and pretended to bump into each other.
‘Development of new technologies.’
