Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 438



Episode 438

Jeopuk- Jeopuk-

Dark basement.

Someone was walking into this place where there was so much dust and a musty smell that it was hard to breathe.

No more accurately I was being dragged.

A young teenage boy with blond hair. And he was walking with his arms held by sturdy men in suits.

After a while the boy reached the deepest part of the basement. The men finally let go of the boy’s arm and stepped back.

Cheeeee-

A flame rises in the darkness. The sound of smoke being sucked in is heard and then a long puff of smoke comes out.

“Did you come? Malcolm.”

The lights in the basement turned on and the surroundings became clear. The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa was someone the boy knew very well.

He is the leader of the ‘Randolph Gang’ one of the three major gangs of the Dark Alliance and is also the boy’s father.

Margel Randolph.

“……father.”

And this boy’s name is Malcolm Randolph.

I was a special case number 10 Keygen student.

“That’s cold Malcolm. It’s a long-awaited vacation but you disappear without even seeing your father’s face.”

Malcolm remained silent then looked up.

“What did you call me for father?”

Margel sighed and inhaled cigar smoke once again.

“I guess I’m a parent too so something like this came to me from Keygen.”

Malcolm made a flinching look. What Margel was shaking in his hand was Malcolm’s first-year report card from Kizen.

“Let me see.”

Margel slowly opened his eyes.

“At the time of admission I was a special class 10 student. And at the end of the first year…”

The corners of Margel’s mouth twisted.

“128th place.”

“…….”

It fell from 10th to 128th.

Malcolm with a stiff face and his fists shaking shouted.

“that-!”

“I know.”

Margel interrupted in a cold voice.

“Your specialty ‘Doppelgänger’ is a black magic that increases the number of people by creating alter egos. It may be good at the beginning of the semester but it slowly starts to lose steam in the second half of the first year. Your competitors continue to learn and become stronger.”

It was just as Margel said.

From the middle of the second semester all of the Keygen students had at least one ranged attack weapon and knew the search-type black magic and curse to find the main body among doppelgängers.

-When dealing with Malcolm you only need to learn one ‘color curse’.

Such rumors circulated widely and the winning know-how was shared.

This was the reason why Malcolm the doppelganger whom no one wanted to meet in the duel evaluation in the first semester was reduced to a neighborhood book in the second semester.

“It’s not just because of that!”

Sweat beaded on Malcolm’s forehead. I had to make an excuse somehow.

“The liquid bomb used as the main weapon…!”

“I heard it was banned.”

Margel spoke as if he had been waiting.

The Randolph Gang’s special ‘liquid bomb’ that gives jet black color and explodes. The combination of that and the doppelganger was powerful.

However as a result of Keygen’s review it was banned for use as it violated multiple duel evaluation regulations.

“But isn’t that the benefit of self-employment?”

When Margel craned his head and asked Malcolm realized his mistake.

‘Shit.’

Even if it meant beating me to death I shouldn’t have brought up this story as an excuse.

“Do you remember? Special case number 1: Duel evaluation with Simon Pollentia.”

Of course I remember.

You can’t forget if you try to forget.

“During the duel evaluation watched by numerous high-ranking officials including the royal family you used liquid bombs excessively.”

The Randolph Gang committed countless terrorist attacks using these liquid bombs. It earned astronomical amounts of money as a result of its profits and also caused the downfall of several competing organizations.

Although it was a very sensitive item Malcolm used the liquid bomb to somehow win the duel with Simon and caught the attention of the kingdom officials who were watching the duel evaluation.

In the end all the unsolved explosion cases that the Randolph gang had been denying were reinvestigated.

As a result the gang suffered irreparable damage.

The four kingdoms rushed to confiscate the organization’s businesses and had to pay large-scale damages and all kinds of penalties. They were even attacked by other gangs who had suffered damage from liquid bombs.

“If you have something to say say it. Your damn school play put the organization in jeopardy.”

“…….”

“But that doesn’t mean your grades in school are good? Simon Pollentia the man you fought with maintained first place. I did it on my own without any support from my family.”

Margel clenched his chin.

“……I wanted a son like that too. That guy’s father is so happy that he’s dancing.”

‘Ugh!’

Malcolm who was sobbing could not say anything.

Margel scolded coldly.

“It’s over now. Don’t go back to Locke Island.”

“……!”

The message was to stop using Keygen. Malcolm urgently raised his head.

“father! I am……!”

Jump!

Malcolm’s words did not continue. Suddenly a flashing black figure jumped out and kicked him by the chin.

Wow!

Right!

The shape appeared on both the left and right. Pain pierced my abdomen sides and thighs. I couldn’t breathe.

In an instant two Margels grabbed the back of Malcolm’s head which was covered in blood and fell to his knees and slammed it into the ground.

Boom!

I heard the sound of my nose breaking.

“Have you still not come to your senses?”

And the real Margel was still sitting on the sofa. The gang members watching from behind swallowed their saliva.

‘That’s Margel’s doppelganger…!’

The doppelgangers grabbed Malcolm’s head and forced him to raise his head. In addition to the crushed nose bone blood was flowing from his forehead.

And Malcolm saw.

The sight of Margel sitting in the darkness his eyes flashing.

He wasn’t the boss of one of the three major gangs for nothing. Margel was always cruel and unforgiving. Even if it’s my son.

“School play is over. Do you understand?”

Malcolm could only nod in the face of absolute horror.

Soon Margel’s doppelgängers threw Malcolm to the floor and disappeared into the air.

“This is a new mission for you.”

Palak.

Several photos fell in front of the fallen Malcolm.

“Bring the item in the photo.”

What appeared in the photo was the bone structure of some monster and the teeth were filled with high-purity gold. It was a very expensive looking item.

“It is located in a place called Deimos Museum on the Parona Peninsula. It would be a good idea to bring other expensive things along with you.”

Malcolm raised his upper body and looked at the photo.

“……What about other forces besides mine?”

“You go alone. Malcolm.”

“It is impossible to secretly retrieve this item by yourself.”

“It will cause a disturbance.”

When Margel gestured the four men whined and brought something and slammed it on the floor! I put it down loudly.

A metal body about the size of a knee. A red core was visible in the middle.

“Liquid bombs can no longer be used so new products were developed.”

“……Replacement for liquid bomb?”

Margel nodded.

“It is said that high-level monsters create special waves when they control lower-ranking entities of the same type. Sub-entities absolutely obey that wavelength.”

“no way…….”

“okay. This is a device that attracts Nagas created by referring to the waves caused by the ‘Naga Queen’.”

Margel grinned.

“If it works many Nagas will flock to the Farona Peninsula. Malcolm take advantage of the chaos and infiltrate the exhibition hall.”

“father!!”

Malcolm jumped up.

“The Parona Peninsula is currently celebrating! If you attract monsters there will be enormous damage…!”

“Do you still think you are Keygen? Son.”

Malcolm winced and closed his mouth.

“please.”

Margel nodded and glared at Malcolm with cold eyes.

“Don’t disappoint me twice.”

* * *

After leaving the port on the Parona Peninsula Simon and his group immediately went to change their clothes.

And since we had already come to Parona thanks to Meilin’s active opinion we decided to rent and wear the region’s traditional clothes.

“No what is this?”

D i c k said looking down at his baggy clothes.

The silk robe decorated with the moonflower pattern of the Parona Peninsula fell below the knees and white pants had to be worn separately. Lastly it is complete when you put a hat on your head.

D i c k had a disapproving expression.

“……What is the floral pattern on men’s clothes? And this isn’t even a skirt. Why is it so fluttery?”

“I think I’m pretty good.”

Simon was also dressed in traditional attire. He was holding the end of his hat and covering one eye as he posed in the mirror.

“This is 100% a rip off! 900 silver for a 3-day rental of these clothes! For this money you can eat 20 bowls of hearty meat noodles!”

“We’re here~”

Meyrin and Camivarez arrived.

D i c k who had been grumbling with Simon turned his head.

‘Wow…!’

A blue-purple silk robe that goes down like a dress and looks pretty and white pants with a side slit. And even the hat is smaller and cute than the one for men.

Meilin struck a lively pose with her hands together and one leg raised.

“how is it? suited?”

Camivarez was laughing with his hands on his chest.

“Oh I’m kind of nervous.”

Simon whose face was flushed red could not take his eyes off the two people. I just nodded as if I was fascinated.

“It suits you really well. Two people.”

“No does this make sense?”

D i c k looked at his clothes and got angry as if he couldn’t even say that they didn’t suit him.

“If women’s clothes are so pretty why are men’s clothes like this? This is discrimination!”

“If I tease you why don’t you wear women’s clothes too?”

Meilin covered her mouth and laughed.

“And look at your best friend next to you. He suits you well.”

In fact the clothing store clerks couldn’t take their eyes off Simon. D i c k shook his head.

“This should be taken out of the discussion. Even if he just wears a white shirt he gets complimented.”

“……Isn’t that a compliment?”

So the four people came out onto the street wearing the traditional costumes of the Parona Peninsula.

“Wow!”

There were so many people. Half of the tourists like Simon and his group were wearing traditional clothes.

“It’s really pretty!”

The street was already in the middle of a moon flower event.

Moonflowers in full bloom were swaying in the wind and numerous street vendors were attracting tourists with their delicious smells.

“Where is D i c k’s accommodation?”

“It’s about 30 minutes from here by carriage? First I have to go grocery shopping.”

“Let’s buy something to bake here at the market.”

Simon and D i c k discussed their future plans.

“Kami! It’s here! There are so many moonflowers blooming here!”

“I think it’s pretty there too!”

Meirin and Camivarez were busy enjoying the festival 100%.

“Simon! Simon! Look here!”

Simon who was looking around the evening street turned his head when he heard Maylin’s voice.

Meilin was nestled among the blue-violet moonflowers. He stuck his head out and asked with a shy smile.

“Where am I?”

“……!”

Simon’s face who was not immune to this type of play turned red.

“Ah Lord Meyrin!”

D i c k walked forward knelt down in front of Maylin’s flower field picked up a nearby rock and wailed.

“Lord Meyrin! Where did your body go and only your head came…!”

D i c k was immediately knocked out by Meilin’s double side kick. Simon laughed out loud.

“Simon~ Simon~”

This time Camivarez pointed to a street vendor with his fingertip.

“Hey would you like some grilled skewers?”

“Good. I will live.”

“Oh no! I am……!”

Simon grinned.

“Let me buy it. I had to bring in money during vacation.”

There was 10000 gold received from Israfil as a Holy Federation mission.

Even though Simon was having a happy time meeting his group members for the first time in a long time and enjoying the festival he still had some worries.

‘How should I bring up the story of the student council?’

Simon was planning to make his executive offer tonight.

I’m following my companions around and worrying about it alone.

Tuk!

I bumped into someone on a busy street.

“Hmph! I’m sorry!”

The passerby I bumped into earlier quickly lowered his head and held out his hand. When I came to Simon had fallen to the floor.

“Are you hurt anywhere? I’m really really sorry!”

Simon’s eyes widened.

‘What just happened?’

Although he did not activate the jet black Simon had a different strength from ordinary people. Even though I was thinking about something else I never thought I would fall so easily.

Simon raised his head and saw the pedestrian he had hit.

A young neat-looking boy with red hair. It was a lion’s head with a clear forehead and a lot of thick messy hair.

‘I didn’t hit you on purpose. ‘It seems like a real mistake.’

Simon stood up holding the boy’s hand.

“I’m truly sorry again!”

The boy apologized several times.

“no. I was thinking about something else and couldn’t see.”

The red-haired boy apologized again and again and disappeared into the crowd. While he was wrapped in a robe he was wearing something long and wrapped in cloth on his back.

“Simon! Simon! Where are you?”

“Oh sorry. I’ll be there soon.”

* * *

“Ugh! It hurts~”

A red-haired man who had escaped the crowd was rubbing his shoulders with bright eyes.

-What’s going on?

A woman’s voice was coming from a communication crystal ball mounted on the fence.

“I was just walking down the street when I bumped into someone and the magic activated. If the other person fell and I was in this much pain…”

He scratched his head.

“Originally I would have fallen on the floor! I guess you did? Ahaha!”

-I told you to stop being rude right? Mercenary King.

The boy called the Mercenary King spoke as if he were embarrassed.

“Ugh! As expected that title still feels a bit burdensome.”

-Then you can get used to it~ How is the situation?

“It’s still quiet.”

The boy looked around the street with a serious expression as if he had never done that before.

“But are you sure? Information that there will be an attack by the Randolph Gang.”

-I don’t know for sure. Still we get paid regardless of whether there is an attack or not. I hope nothing happens.

“hmm.”

The boy stroked the handle of the sword he was carrying on his back. Then he said as if something suddenly occurred to him.

“ah! really! Now that I think about it I bought a great souvenir at the Parona market!”

-souvenir?

The boy rummaged through his pocket and pulled out something.

“This one! It’s a magic artifact that allows you to easily see coins dropped on the street if you keep it in your pocket! For only 10 gold!”

-…….

There was silence in the communication crystal sphere for a moment.

-Oh! Do you believe that? Even if I pick up all the coins I drop for the rest of my life I won’t be able to earn 10 gold!

The boy’s mouth dropped open.

“Then did I get scammed?”

-You idiot!!
