Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 958
On the podium of the cathedral, where the sunlight passing through the window breaks into brilliant colors.
Simone and Lisara knelt side by side and held hands.
‘I’m a little nervous because it’s an excellent event at this time.’
Simon narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth.
“Hmm. Sister Lisa, for some reason, you gave me the Holy Sacrament…”
“I’ve been watching Priest Euclid all this time.”
Simon’s neck twitched as if he was nervous.
‘You watched it? until now?’
“I thought it was great. Especially during Mrs. Homilli’s dog light class. Maybe it’s possible to use something so brilliant and pure. “I thought they were really ‘just like us’ selected students.”
Considering that she is a suspect, every word feels meaningful.
Simon slowly raised one leg he was kneeling on and gave strength. I was prepared to deal with any situation.
“But unlike Priest Euclid, my divinity has been shamefully weakened since coming to Sky Island.”
‘huh?’
“It wasn’t like this originally. “After becoming an Afnel student and coming to Sky Island, my divinity has been fading away.”
Small tears formed in her eyes.
“Does the Great Mother look at me badly? Why are you taking away my power? “Did I do something wrong?”
His voice soon became watery, probably because he was going through a lot of emotional distress.
“I’m really worried about that, so… I’m sorry.”
There was silence for a moment.
She closed her eyes and looked around with tears streaming down her face.
“…Priest?”
When Simon didn’t make a sound, he was embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.
Still, my eyes don’t open. Because it was forbidden to open one’s eyes for prayer, sacramental mass, etc.
Simon was somewhat dumbfounded.
‘Was it really just counseling for concerns?’
Lately, I’ve been so obsessed with finding the culprit that I’ve become suspicious of her.
Simon quickly adjusted his posture again and opened his mouth with a hmm.
“I’m sorry, sister.”
First of all, I sincerely apologized.
“But is there any reason to confide such important concerns to me, a fellow selected student who is neither a third-year senior nor a saint?”
“Ah…”
Her cheeks became colored like the sunset.
“The divinity of the priest I saw during the opening hours was so brilliant! I can’t forget it in my mind. I wonder if there is a secret to receiving the goddess’s love…”
‘It seems like he is thoroughly looking for the reason for his weakening divinity from outside.’
Although he was not an expert on divinity and was not in a position to give advice, he strangely felt like he knew the answer.
“Then, would you please tell me Sister Lisa’s story first?”
“yes?”
“I heard that you were a select student from outside. And you said earlier, ‘It wasn’t like this originally,’ right? “I think I need to know first what’s going on with Sister Lisa.”
“Ah yes!”
Lisa was from an ethnic group from the far northern region of the Holy Federation called Freezepel.
She was the only divine user in the village. He healed the residents when they got sick, chased away the undead when they appeared, and even spread a barrier to block the cold.
-Lisa is amazing. He is the treasure of our clan.
-Are only saints in high places saints? Lisa is our pride and the saintess of Priespellman!
Lisa waved her hand at the word saint. Because I thought it was blasphemous to dare to compare myself to such a great being.
Then one day, someone from Epnel came to visit after hearing rumors about Lisa.
They persuaded the village that Lisara would be able to do more for the goddess if she systematically learned about her faith at school.
In the end, the village decided to let Lisa go for the sake of her future. He was prouder of her than anyone else, saying that someone from such a remote village would ascend to heaven.
That’s how Lisa left her hometown and entered Afnel as the starting number 9. Although she was confident that she could grow further.
“When I came up to Sky Island, I realized that I was a frog in a well.”
She lowered her head.
“In the village, I was the only one who could use divinity, but when I came out, there were many priests who were much more powerful. Priest Euclid, Sister Meryl, and Sister Bersi! As expected, the goddess only judges my pride…”
“No.”
Simon, who had suddenly returned to his normal speaking tone, spoke firmly.
“Listen carefully Lisa.”
Then he removed one hand and held her hand with both.
Her shoulders trembled.
“You shouldn’t try to find another reason. “The reason your divinity is weakening is not because you have been shunned by the goddess, but because you do not believe in yourself.”
“B but…! Divinity is a small miracle that the goddess lends to believers! “My sluggishness is clearly the goddess’s fault…”
“But you are the one who causes that miracle. “Do you think the goddess would want to lend proper strength to you, who only resents you without making any effort to change yourself?”
She looked as if she had been caught off guard.
“believe. “Yourself, no one else.”
Simone made her open her palms with both hands.
“It is you who creates divinity. “What you need now is not faith in the goddess, but faith in yourself.”
“….”
“Think of the faces of the people in your clan. The look on their faces when you used your power to heal them and how important you were to them. “Think of the eyes of the people you loved.”
Her expression changed in an instant.
“And by following my words, you will create divinity.”
Simon’s mouth slowly opened.
“I am. “You can do anything.”
Her mouth followed suit and opened.
“…I can do anything!”
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
OK.
A dazzlingly clear and gigantic nova bloomed from her palm. Startled, she forgot what was happening and opened her eyes.
Lisara’s divinity, filling the surroundings with white, was slowly spreading throughout the room.
“ah.”
She looked in disbelief at the results she had created.
and.
“Okay?”
I looked at Simon, smiling brightly, beyond the dazzling divinity.
“It’s a pretty and warm divinity.”
Lisara’s face turned red all the way to her ears.
***
After exploring the streets of Sky Island, the 10 selected students gathered one by one at the square where they had first gathered.
“Yes, good job! “Very good!”
Lirinet, who had cake cream on her mouth as she was rushing out of the dessert shop, was checking the results of her juniors’ missions.
Simon and Lisa had just arrived at the square.
‘I haven’t said a word since I left the cathedral.’
Simon glanced at Lisara.
Suddenly Lisara is avoiding him. When our eyes met, they were startled or turned their heads away.
‘Did I make a dangerous remark during the excellence ceremony? It would be difficult to tell third years or the Heretic Questioner.’
However, Lisara was not the type to tell others about what happened at the temple. Simon stopped because he felt like he was causing unnecessary trouble.
Rather than that.
-When I came out, there were many more great priests. Priest Euclid, Sister Meryl, and Sister Bersi!
Number 4, Bersi’s name came up.
The recruit who was most surprised and appalled when Simon took off his hood and first appeared. I was curious what kind of person she was.
Judging from the story, it seemed like Lisa had seen Bersi’s power up close. Maybe there is a friendship.
“Hey Lisa….”
“You came at just the right time.”
Number 3, Maricello, who was originally Simon’s partner, was walking forward with great strides.
She was cold and spoke quietly to Lisara without even looking at Simon.
“I completed all my missions here with Sister Merrill.”
She handed me a checklist notebook. Lisara said as she took it.
“We finished everything safely.”
“Yes, thank you very, very much.”
After saying that, Maricello made a guilty expression and hugged Lisara.
“And I’m truly sorry. “I didn’t want to leave you with such trash.”
“….”
She broke away from Lisara and continued.
“I didn’t want to spend even a moment with that bastard. I really owe you a lot, sister. I must receive this grace….”
“Euclid!”
Lisara said, crumpling the notebook in her hand.
“Don’t talk bad in front of me!”
A shrill cry echoed through the square.
Maricello froze like a stone statue, and the other recruits and Lirinet who heard the shout also widened their eyes.
“…oh!”
Lisa later realized that her voice was too loud and covered her mouth. Then I made eye contact with Simon, who had a surprised expression on his face, and his face turned red up to the nape of his neck.
“I’m sorry for yelling!”
Then he quickly ran away into the next alley. The selected students whispered.
“I guess they had a fight.”
“…This is the first time I’ve seen Sister Lisa so angry.”
Maricello stood there with a completely lost expression on his face.
Lirinet wiped the cake off her mouth and clapped her hands and shouted.
“Now brothers and sisters, be quiet! “When you get back, come check on your mission!”
In the end, Simon and Maricello, who were originally a team, took the notebook and took on the task of examining Lirinet together.
“The checklist looks fine, but-”
Lirinet, who had signed the notebook, looked at Maricello and narrowed her eyes.
“Are you going to scold me next time if I change the group as I want?”
Looks like he already knew everything. Maricello had no choice but to bow his head and say, ‘I’m sorry.’
So Simon and Maricello finished the inspection and walked away.
“you.”
“?”
Maricello said, glaring at Simon.
“I don’t know what kind of mean way they roasted and boiled the kind Sister Lisa like that, but-”
Her eyes flashed fiercely.
“I’m not fooled. “I wonder how everyone will react when they find out your true colors.”
After saying that, she walked away with long strides and left first.
Simon made a ‘grunt’ sound and crossed his arms.
‘Euclid. ‘What on earth happened that made the kid do that?’
***
Even after coming to the Holy Federation, I developed a bit of a routine.
During the day, he attends classes diligently, obtains information from various students, and investigates saints and murderers.
After class, I eat dinner, exchange excellent compliments, and try to become friends with my classmates.
After dinner, he goes into a nearby deserted forest, sets up a barrier, and begins practicing new chaos magic and void using the knowledge he has learned about divinity.
After training, I go to the library early in the morning when everyone is asleep. I was planning to go to the library today too. I haven’t gotten all the information about Death Knight yet, and I haven’t completely uncovered the secrets about Deity or Afnel.
‘Let’s get ready to go out at dawn.’
Simon stretched out, put the notebook he had written behind his pillow, and lay down on the bed. I planned to sleep for about two hours and then get up and go to the library.
‘Just two hours.’
While Simon was closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep.
‘!’
Suddenly, a chill ran through my body.
‘What did you just do!’
The feeling that someone is watching you.
Simon got up, quickly looked around, walked to the window, and opened it wide.
Whiiiiing!
The window opened roughly and a cold wind blew.
You can see Epnel City sparkling at night in the distance, but the entire area around this accommodation is immersed in darkness.
There is full silence.
That’s when Simon tried to get closer to the window.
Ahahahaha!
The students’ loud laughter could be heard from another room. Then, thumping and footsteps are heard.
‘Hmm, I felt a strange energy…’
Simon, who was dazed, chuckled.
‘Did I have a nightmare because of the noise beyond the wall?’
Simon took one last look out the window and closed the window with a loud thud.
And behind the window that Simon closed.
Gradually.
Tangled, seaweed-like hair hangs down. Next to it, a strange arm, like a skinny mummy, was stepping on the roof.
A crackling noise was rising above the body, where the skin had dried and the bones were clearly exposed. It was moving quietly, resting on the roof.
Creak.
My head creaked, I turned 180 degrees and looked at the window where Simon was sleeping.
Then he opened his mouth and smiled until his gums were all exposed.
