Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 147



Chapter 147

A lecture room on the fourth floor of the Magic Technology Academy.

Inside a chill strong enough to reach bone filled the room. Walking on the frozen floor a girl with light-blue hair left a trail of steam behind her.

All the plants guarding the desolator were incapacitated or frozen to death and Meilyn glided across the slippery ice.

She safely retrieved the desolator at the back of the lecture room and put it in her own subspace.

“Clear.”

Letting out a quick sigh she pressed the small button on the side of her glasses’ frame. It sent a signal to Kajann to inform him of a mission success.

Having effortlessly done her part she straightened her back triumphantly.

“Ah-ah-ah-Achoo! Achoo!”

Then she began to sneeze. She rubbed her arms and brought her legs together as she trembled.

“Gosh I caught a cold. Do I really have an aptitude for ice?”

She finished her mission cleanly but it was too cold.

Meilyn left the frozen lecture room with quick small steps.

A warehouse in the first-year boy’s dormitory.

“Now now! There’s another plant over there!”

Rick was clapping his hands and shouting. In the storage room filled with plants over a dozen Kizen students were engaged in a fierce battle.

And Rick sitting comfortably at the back watching the scene stroked his chin.

‘The tension is dragging a bit.’

He took a golden egg-shaped ornament from his pocket and threw it toward the vines saying

“A golden egg! There’s a golden egg worth 5 gold over there!”

“What?”

“Where?!”

Students rushed forward. Any vines that got in the way were cut down by the students who were into swordsmanship and the flower monsters were burnt to ashes by the elementalists.

Kizen is Kizen after all. Rick nodded in satisfaction.

“Ah by the way why do I feel like I’ve been shunted?”

A student weakening the plants with curses from the back spoke to Rick.

“Isn’t this too unfavorable for Curses aspirants?”

Rick shrugged.

“Try asking for your share when everything’s over. Since they’re winning thanks to your curses they might give you some change. Who knows?”

“Hm…”

And so the over-a-dozen Kizen students joined forces and the plants in the warehouse were getting mopped up. Meanwhile Rick put on Kajann’s glasses and strolled in.

While the students who fell for Rick’s words were fighting he retrieved the desolator enchanted with recognition-hindering magic put it safely in his subspace and pressed the button on his glasses.

‘Fufu. A piece of cake!’

“Whoa! Hey! This is a real poison!”

“Cough! Cough! My skin’s going spotty!”

Suddenly the students at his back made a fuss. Rick grinned and pulled out the antidotes he bought a while back in Rochest.

“Of course they’re poisonous. They’re plant monsters! Now now dear customers have a drink!”

Students rushed toward the antidote.

“By the way you know that a bottle of this is 100 silver right?”

“…This crazy bastard?”

The second floor of the learning center.

Pshk! Thud! Crack!

It was a slaughter. And watching it all was a single student legs trembling where he stood.

It was Toto the summoner from Class A.

‘…Just who is he?’

A boy with a blue cloak and strange crown tore through vines and monsters alike. Toto could only hope that this raw strength wouldn’t be turned against him.

[Hey loser!]

The boy’s gaze turned to Toto.

[If you run away I really will kill you!]

“Y-Yes sir!”

Prince was tearing the monsters apart in a rage that would make a berserker look tame.

[I obviously thought we’d be working together! So how dare you make me the zombie prince take care of small fries like this! Argh!]

He was done in barely five minutes. Plant matter was strewn across the floor.

Prince put on the glasses he got from Simon and pressed the button.

[Loser get over here.]

Prince gestured. Toto who valued his life more than anything else ran over.

[Put this in your subspace.]

When Prince gestured into the air something like a black box suddenly popped out of his hand. Toto’s eyes widened.

[Hey are you ignoring me?]

“N-No sir!”

Toto placed the box in his subspace as he was told. Prince smiled and put his arm around Toto’s shoulder.

[Yeah if you keep obeying me like that everything will end smoothly. Capisce?]

“Y-Yes sir!”

[Next question. What item is your subspace opened with?]

“It’s this bracelet.”

[Take it off.]

Toto eyes wide hugged the bracelet to his chest.

“No you can’t! This is my precious—!”

[You’re not gonna give it to me?]

When Prince raised his fist without hesitation Toto had no choice but to hand over his bracelet. Tears formed in his eyes.

[Oh stop crying! I’m not stealing it!]

Toto didn’t stop crying so Prince shouted

[I’m borrowing it for a moment for your safety! I’ll have it returned this evening.]

“Y-You sure?”

[I promise. Upon the honor of the zombie prince.]

What the hell was a zombie prince?

Regardless he didn’t care what happened as long as he could get his subspace back. But it felt uneasy letting Prince leave like this.

He didn’t seem like a bad person but Toto thought he might just forget about it. But if he asked him for an item that he could hold on to as collateral he’d be smacked.

Giving up Toto just held out his pinkie.

“Th-Then pinkie promise me please.”

[…]

Prince let out a dumbfounded laugh.

[Gosh kids these days.]

Prince squatted down and put his pinkie to Toto’s.

When Toto was about to take his hand away deciding that Prince would remember it after doing this much Prince shouted

[Ah what are you doing? Aren’t you gonna stamp it?]

“What?”

[Didn’t you say it’s a pinkie promise? We need to put our pinkies together stamp it by putting our thumbs together sign it and even laminate it!]

“I mean this is literally what the kids d—”

Prince gave Toto a stare so cold his legs crumpled from beneath him. 

“I-I’ll do it!”

Toto got caught by the wrong guy.

Just like that they also completed the strange promise ceremony Prince wanted.

But by this time Prince was scanning Toto’s clothes up and down.

[Hey by the way that school uniform looks pretty good you know?]

“Wh-What?”

At the same time.

Simon finally joined Pier and Elizabeth at the campus.

“It was so nerve-wracking. Why were you all so late?”

Pier in plate armor stiffened at Simon’s question.

[After passing through the fog there was another damn barrier!]

Elizabeth nodded.

[Yes it was a large-scale barrier that covered the entire first-year campus. Not even my subterfuge abilities let me slip through. It seemed to be the kind to completely block the entry of invaders.]

So the barrier was already that complete. Simon rubbed his forehead.

“Then we must resolve this situation or else.”

[Kuhehe! That’s exactly it!]

Simon turned his head for a moment and stared north.

‘I wonder if Cami got out safely.’

If Camibarez reached the mausoleum and called for the professors it’d mean that a new option would arise. But for now Simon thought it best for himself and Kajann to resolve this.

Simon returned to the Poisonous Alchemy Academy and came down to the basement guarded by Kajann. He passed through a dark passageway and reached the hidden hazardous commodities storage.

“You’re back.”

Kajann’s voice was heard in the darkness as he climbed down to the floor from the ceiling.

[Oh it’s him.]

Said Elizabeth as if fed up. Simon let out a wry smile and looked at Kajann.

“What about Francesca?”

“She hasn’t left the room yet.”

Kajann shook his head and continued.

“And there’s good news. Your comrades have successfully neutralized the four desolators.”

“That’s great!”

Now the basic conditions to fight Francesca were fulfilled.

All of the desolators were in subspaces and couldn’t be detonated by Francesca’s ignition signal. It was now impossible for her to threaten them with the explosives.

Above all preventing the large-scale explosions was a massive relief.

The catastrophic future had changed and from now on they could make a much better one.

“Oh and I also found Professor Lang’s diary and ID in his office.”

Said Simon taking out the ID.

“I gave the diary to Camibarez and made her go to the mausoleum where the professors are. Now we just have to use this ID and…”

“…get inside and arrest Francesca.”

The two nodded.

“Eliza!”

[Yes~]

Elizabeth stretched a spider web wide and wrapped it around Simon’s school uniform. The web changed colors and Simon was wearing new navy-blue clothes.

“Pier.”

[Here I go!]

Pier threw off his armor disassembled himself into hundreds of bones and clung to Simon’s body.

His cape wrapped around Simon’s body and his skull covered Simon’s face like a helmet. Simon gripped Pier’s greatsword alongside the bone attached to his right arm.

‘The Overlord’s good to go too.’

Everything was ready.

Simon took a deep breath and placed Lang’s ID on the dark magic circle.

Whirrrrrrr!

The ID was sucked into the wall as it and the door turned into hundreds of blocks. They repeatedly rose and fell like the keys of a piano and soon an entrance formed.

Knowing that Francesca was here made it impossible for Simon to relax. He followed Kajann inside barely daring to even breathe.

The name ‘hazardous commodities storage’ was accurate. Dangerous goods were thoroughly sealed behind dozens of locks or seals. On the surface it just looked like a room full of barrels.

Then Kajann pointed to the side.

‘…?’

When Simon turned his head to look he saw four empty spaces that looked recently occupied.

Their dark magic seals must have been erased. The surrounding area was full of dust yet those four spots were perfectly clean.

‘So she took the desolators from here!’

It was very reassuring to see just four empty spaces. Simon was worried that he might have missed one.

The two continued walking. Then Kajann raised a clenched fist.

“Here she comes.”

Swiiiiiiiiiish!

A black cross flew through the air.

“Back off.”

Kajann’s arm twitched as if about to explode. He didn’t even dodge the flying cross thrusting his fist forward instead.

Thuuuuuuuuuuuuud!

The jet-black cross and Kajann’s fist fully collided. There were cracking sounds coming from Kajann’s arm but the cross crumpled like a can and shattered.

“Tsk!”

Kajann frowned and brushed his arm off. Simon said in fright

“D-Didn’t you just have to dodge it?”

Kajann silently pointed behind him. There was something like a storage tank there.

Simon understood immediately. If the cross had crashed into it and destroyed the storage tank… He didn’t want to imagine what would’ve happened.

‘As expected from Kajann. He is greatly experienced.’

Admiring Kajaan inwardly Simon also took note of everything around him. Then Kajaan said

“Duck.”

“!”

Simon Kajann and Elizabeth immediately ducked down on the ground. Crosses coming from three different directions collided above their heads then crumpled.

It was a very brutal attack.

[How dare a mere priest…!]

Elizabeth raised her head while radiating killing intent.

[Such attacks shall never best us you know? Show yourself already!]
