    Episode 466

    “how have you been doing? Arthur.”

    Arthur’s pupils filled with emotion when he saw Simon’s face.

    “Simon!!”

    He rushed over and hugged Simon’s body tightly. Simon felt a moment of pressure as if he could not breathe.

    “I missed you! I can’t believe we meet so soon! How disappointing it was that I couldn’t even say goodbye properly on the Parona Peninsula!”

    “Now wait!”

    Simon let out a laugh.

    “Calm down Arthur.”

    Only then did Arthur let go of Simon and take a step back. He doesn’t have a great physique but his strength and stamina are like a gorilla.

    “Let’s settle this situation first and talk about it.”

    Simon looked around.

    You can see gang members scattered everywhere and gang members whimpering as they are pinned to the wall caught by Simon’s bone armor. Two more of them are sleeping in Simon’s sleep.

    Simon opened his mouth.

    “Now I’m going to ask you a few questions.”

    He walked towards the gang members pinned to the wall and opened a subspace.

    “You’ve heard rumors about necromancers right? If you don’t get a satisfactory answer I’ll make it so you can’t die forever.”

    The zombies that came out of it were making ‘oooooo’ sounds and liquid was flowing from their mouths. The faces of the gang members looked pale.

    “You bastard!”

    Among them one gang member screamed evil.

    “If you want to do it do it! What kind of punishment will a necromancer receive if he carelessly touches a civilian…!”

    With an expressionless face Simon slightly took off his outer robe to reveal his black school uniform. Their expressions became even more determined when they saw the Kizen pattern visible on his chest.

    A necromancer belonging to Keygen.

    Even first-year students had investigative powers within the Dark Alliance.

    “Then first question.”

    Simon adjusted his robe again and continued speaking.

    “Please state your affiliation.”

    “…….”

    They desperately avoided Simon’s eyes and kept their mouths tightly shut. Simon sighed deeply.

    “I didn’t want to see blood from the first question.”

    As soon as he finished saying those words the zombies started walking with their mouths wide open.

    “Oh no! Simon!”

    Arthur grabbed Simon with a cold expression.

    “No matter how keygen it is you can’t kill people!!”

    ‘You are real.’

    Simon glared at Arthur.

    Of course it’s acting. What if you are deceived before the enemy can be deceived?

    But something unexpected happened.

    Arthur’s desperate actions to stop Simon actually stimulated the gang members’ fear. They all trembled and twisted their limbs as if they were convulsing as if they thought they were really trying to kill them.

    These people are very scared.

    “Put this aside. Arthur.”

    Simon decided to take advantage of Arthur’s actions.

    “I’ll just rip off a few people as examples.”

    Arthur was scared and stopped him and the zombies came right in front of the gang member drooling.

    “What is that bastard doing!”

    Someone couldn’t stand it anymore and screamed.

    ‘That bastard?’

    Simon’s eyes shone sharply.

    “Do it quickly!!”

    “I’m really going to die if I keep doing this!”

    Are there any other colleagues around? Simon looked around but there was no sign of anyone else.

    ‘hmm?’

    Then Simon noticed something black and shiny under the shirt of a passed out gang member. I quickly walked over and pulled up the person’s shirt and I saw a clear magic circle drawn on his body.

    Slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    And soon.

    The man’s body disappeared like dust.

    ‘what?’

    Srurr-

    Slurrrr-

    The same goes for other gang members. Everyone’s bodies were scattered like grains of sand and disappeared.

    ‘this!’

    Simon took out a black feather from his pocket and quickly put it inside the clothes of the gang member whose slip was the last to disappear.

    Soon all the gang members disappeared from the scene as the gang members scattered and disappeared along with the feathers.

    “What happened?”

    Arthur looked around in confusion. Simon said shaking his hands.

    “I guess there was a necromancer there too.”

    What was engraved on the abdomen of these gang members just now was a ‘permanent magic circle’.

    Putting a permanent magic circle that allows darkness into ordinary people without a core would probably cut their lifespan by half every time they used it.

    ‘What is their purpose?’

    They were not simple robbers.

    Dozens of suicide commandos.

    And all I got in exchange for half my lifespan was the skill to disappear without being caught.

    “Arthur. Do you have any idea why those people were targeting you?”

    Arthur who was looking around with a dazed expression quickly came to his senses and answered.

    “Uh there is none. I just followed him because he was a guide hired by his colleagues.”

    “……You too.”

    Simon laughed bitterly.

    “But Simon! Did you really turn those people into undead?”

    “Of course it’s acting.”

    “Was it an act? and! and! Oh then you were just trying to scare me to get information out of me! I was fooled!”

    Simon scratched the back of his neck.

    ‘If you’re really coming to Kizen you’ll have to go through a lot of trouble.’

    * * *

    The two walked together and talked about various things. Arthur said he arrived in Langerstine yesterday and was lost all day.

    Fortunately I had a note with the address on it.

    “It’s close from here. I’ll take you there.”

    Arthur smiled broadly at those words.

    “Haaah thanks to you I survived! Langerstine is so complicated that I don’t know anything!”

    “I also had a hard time in first grade.”

    The two people walked side by side and talked to each other.

    “What’s going on in Langerstine Simon?”

    “Just some school work.”

    “Oh indeed!”

    Arthur bowed his head.

    “sorry! I will change your title again Senior Simon!”

    “huh?”

    “Actually I decided to enroll in Keygen tomorrow! ha ha ha”

    As expected Arthur was a new student at Kizen.

    Perhaps all the outsiders boys and girls wandering around Langerstine at this time are Kizen students.

    however.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “ah.”

    Simon who had a heavy heart cleared his throat in embarrassment.

    In fact the first time I heard someone call me ‘senior’ in voice I was excited.

    “Just surprised.”

    “ha ha ha! Were you surprised? I am entering there as a special admission student!”

    That’s right he’s an active mercenary king.

    From what I saw in Parona he seemed to have a lot of combat experience and was very talented.

    No matter what anyone says it is a powerful special case number one.

    “Actually I am also a special admission student. I was admitted through special admission number 1.”

    “Oh! That’s a coincidence!”

    A first-year student at Keygen who knows nothing about the world.

    Simon felt a reflection of himself from a year ago in Arthur.

    So I felt more affectionate.

    The more I talked to him the more I felt like I was falling into memories.

    “Did you buy any textbooks?”

    “no! I’m going to the bookstore today.”

    Simon cleared his throat and said.

    “I’m going to the bookstore today too so if it’s okay with you would you like me to guide you…?”

    “Oh I’m sorry senior!”

    Arthur smiled broadly.

    “I decided to go with my mercenary colleagues!”

    Simon was sweating profusely.

    “That’s right. Then there is nothing we can do.”

    “Uh over there!”

    At that moment Arthur’s colleagues were seen in the distance.

    At first glance it was the uniform worn by mercenaries.

    “Arthur!!”

    They came rushing in. Then he started berating me asking me why it was so late and to stop worrying.

    Simon watched from a little distance. I could see how much they cared for Arthur.

    “Thank you for having Arthur.”

    Among them a female mercenary approached and greeted them.

    “no. Of course I just did what I had to do.”

    Simon looked at Arthur and raised his hand.

    “Then see you tomorrow on the boat to Kizen. Arthur.”

    “yep! Senior Simon!”

    Simon who brought Arthur to the side of his colleagues walked around Langerstine Street in a robe and with a leisurely gait.

    Today is free time.

    It was okay to do anything.

    And since I am a Keygen student I was able to find students who looked like Keygen freshmen everywhere.

    There were sometimes false rumors about what subject I would take or whether I would be able to meet a professor I respected so I was itching to correct them but I held back because I was afraid I would be treated as a weirdo for no reason.

    Arrived at the bookstore.

    Only certain bookstores carry Keygen textbooks. Needless to say this place was crowded with kids who looked like new students from Keygen.

    ‘It reminds me of the old days.’

    Boys and girls from all over the continent. They were all choosing books from the list of textbooks enclosed in the envelope containing Keygen’s admission certificate.

    “Videotoxic? The subject name is fun!”

    “Ugh look at the illustration here. The skeleton looks scary.”

    “I don’t think I can touch it~”

    Simon was walking around and smiling happily.

    ‘cute.’

    Thinking that they were all my juniors I couldn’t look this pretty. They seem like little chicks who don’t know anything about the subject or the professor. She pulls out the books holds them in her arms and rushes to the counter.

    I saw many children who had already made friends at the bookstore. He starts talking to me by saying ‘You’re a freshman too right?’ and they seem to become friends right away.

    ‘Hmm stop watching and just do my own thing.’

    To find the 2nd grade textbooks you had to go a little deeper from the entrance of the bookstore. Simon walked leisurely and picked up the textbook he needed.

    ‘Intermediate major summons. I also checked the author’s name.’

    I decided to purchase all three textbooks for my major here.

    In the case of general classes I had no choice but to purchase them from Rochester because I didn’t know what would happen when I registered for the classes.

    Simon heads to the counter with his textbook around his waist.

    “Ugh! Sigh!”

    I saw a girl whining standing on tiptoe trying to pull out a book from the top shelf of the bookshelf.

    Simon immediately noticed that it was a new student and approached him.

    “Want me to help you?”

    The girl glanced at Simon and then returned to her work.

    “it’s okay.”

    The girl said that but she looked very tired as she whimpered with sweat beading on her forehead. Worst of all it felt like the bookshelf was shaking and the books on it were going to spill out and cause injury.

    Simon slowly walked over picked out the book she wanted and placed it lightly on the pile of books. Then I slowly walked towards the counter pretending not to have seen anything.

    “……thank you.”

    But then I heard a thank you.

    When I turned around I saw a girl greeting me with her lips pouting as if she was embarrassed. Simon also turned around and smiled.

    “Not much to say.”

    “hmm-”

    She came hurriedly in front of Simon.

    “Hey you’re a freshman too right?”

    “I’m in second grade.”

    “Hahahaha! Don’t be rude!”

    She laughed cheerfully and slapped Simon on the forearm.

    “Just by looking at them I can see that they are our age!”

    It sounds obvious.

    The 2nd grader and the 1st grader are one year apart so it is true that they are the same age.

    “Ah~ I’m looking forward to the entrance ceremony. right?”

    However the girl had already decided on her own that Simon was a new student.

    “Aren’t you excited?”

    “Of course I’m looking forward to it.”

    Because my friends and I planned the entrance ceremony.

    “I’m a keygen. I still can’t believe it!”

    She started talking so loudly that Simon had no time to speak.

    “I came from far away. From Eren Territory Kalos Kingdom! Where are you from?”

    “Lethhill of Baldwin Kingdom.”

    “Les Hill? This is my first time hearing it. Anyway please take care of it! My name is Heidi Ferris.”

    She held out her hand. Simon also hesitated for a moment and then took his hand.

    “My name is Simon Pollentia.”

    “huh? It’s a name I’ve heard a lot before.”

    She shook his hand vigorously and smiled as she scanned Simon’s face.

    “Kkeke is this your first time holding a woman’s hand?”

    “Oh no. It’s not like that…”

    “Eh~ I guess so.”

    Heidi was a very playful girl. As we walked and chatted we noticed a shiny red mark inside Simon’s robe.

    “pretty. What is this?”

    Simon answered simply.

    “Kizen 2nd grade symbol.”

    “Oh really! Don’t begrudge me!”

    “……It’s true.”

    She burst into laughter.

    “What kind of second grader is a blind kid like you? Do you want to hear that kind of respect from me? Do you know that I will act according to your intentions?”

    “No it’s not like that……”

    “What are the 2nd graders doing now? Ruku? No they said they were going to Rook Island first! You thought I didn’t know right?”

    “It’s Locke Island. And I stopped by to guide the freshmen…”

    Cluck cluck!

    Now she was laughing so hard.

    “Oh really! What kind of concept are you? So funny! Even if you think about it yourself don’t you think it’s an excuse that makes no sense?”

    I felt like I might not be able to believe it. Because it is originally the professor who leads the students not the second year student.

    Simon was too lazy to persuade me too much.

    ‘I’ll believe you when I meet you on the boat tomorrow.’

    That’s how I finished calculating the textbook.

    Simone wanted to show Heidi how she was purchasing second-grade textbooks but there were too many freshmen waiting in line so Heidi went to the counter next to the clerk and paid.

    “Anyway it was nice meeting you.”

    Heidi said outside the bookstore.

    “If you meet me at school pretend you know me.”

    “okay.”

    “Then my mom is waiting for me at the dorm. I’ll go first!”

    Heidi waved her hand and ran into the alley. Simon also waved at me.

    “See you tomorrow. Heidi.”

    “huh!”

    * * *

    Langerstine’s unique shabby and narrow alley.

    Heidi who came out of the bookstore was walking with a confident gait holding a textbook to her chest.

    “Ah Simon he’s really funny.”

    She was still feeling the lingering memories of the friend she first met at Langerstine.

    “On the one hand I’m worried~ How can such a clumsy and fierce-looking kid survive in Keygen? Should I help you?”

    Sweet.

    There was a sound of something falling around. She turned her head to look at the source of the sound and then started walking again.

    “Looks like there are a lot of rats. Ugh I hate big cities.”

    She started walking again.

    Sweet.

    Percussion.

    Tuk.

    However I started hearing strange signs of popularity from people around me.

    It was a bit loud to be considered a rat.

    ‘……Isn’t it a rat?’

    Even so it was a remote place and she felt a hint of fear so her walking speed became faster and faster.

    fault.

    Ta-da-da-da-da-da!

    Before I knew it she was running down the alley at full speed.

    After passing through a maze-like alley you can see an open boulevard with carriages passing by in the distance.

    ‘That’s it! They’re all here…!’

    Hot!

    Then her vision became obscured. At the same time I felt my mouth and nose being blocked by something made of rough material.

    “Woof! Whoop!”

    She struggled violently. However my consciousness gradually became blurred and I eventually lost consciousness.

    There were a lot of people around there wearing robes.

    Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss—

    Soon their bodies scattered like powder and disappeared.
