    Episode 469

    In the end the candidate from the Amperge family who had been causing trouble was completely suppressed by Simon.

    The minions tied him up tightly with a rope to prevent him from going on a rampage any longer.

    and.

    “Did you see it?”

    The freshmen who saw all this on the boat were the current student council president Holic.

    “He looked like an innocent kid on the boat but when he fought he was really powerful…!”

    “Do you see that the tendons on your arms are angry?”

    “The student council president is now in his second year!”

    “Are you one year older than us? Do you have a lover?”

    The female students gathered among themselves and chatted loudly.

    “I’m crazy. That guy fights so well. really.”

    “Summoning department?”

    “I think it was the Matu department. I see you are quick on your feet and fight back with your fists.”

    “I don’t know. Since I saw you using black fire earlier I’m sure it’s pitch black.”

    The boys were playing around analyzing Simon’s battle as they pleased.

    “Please be quiet!”

    The minions went around trying to get the students to their seats but they could hardly calm down after seeing the fight earlier.

    At that time Simon stuck his head out the window.

    “Guys it’s dangerous on the boat. Would you please sit down and be quiet?”

    “yes!!”

    They were freshmen who sat down in their seats in the blink of an eye.

    ‘What happened to the kids who didn’t listen like that?’

    Simon smiled faintly and turned his head to talk to the employee. Screams of female students were heard everywhere.

    “Arthur Bleman. You have been confirmed.”

    Meanwhile all the new students came in with Arthur who was the last person in line showing his admission certificate. There were no students entering the dock anymore.

    Arthur gave Simon a thumbs up.

    “Oh it was really great! Senior Simon!”

    “I’m sorry for interrupting. Arthur.”

    In fact it was an opponent that Arthur would have easily beaten if he had put all his effort into it.

    “haha! no! I used my fists carelessly and was very careless! I’m learning a lot!”

    At that time the servant’s expression hardened as he checked the number of people listed on the document for the last time. Simon saw that and asked.

    “What’s wrong?”

    “Ha student council president.”

    She continued speaking with an embarrassed expression.

    “One person has not arrived yet.”

    “what?”

    After hearing those words the headquarters staff quickly ran to the boat.

    “Okay freshmen! Numbers from front to right!”

    “one!”

    “two!”

    Every new student on the ship raised their hand and said their number. The female student at the end of the first floor shouted ‘200! I shouted ‘Number is over!’ and the male student on the second floor said ‘99! I shouted ‘Number is over!’

    “A total of 299 people. That’s right it’s okay to ask one person! There is one person missing on the second floor!”

    We are about to depart but the atmosphere has become urgent. Simon asked his servant.

    “What’s the name of the new student who didn’t show up?”

    “Wait a minute…!”

    The servant answered while flipping through documents.

    “This is Heidi Ferris.”

    ‘ah!’

    If it’s Heidi she’s the new student I met at the bookstore. The same girl who was playful and didn’t believe me even when I told her she was a second grader.

    Hehehehe—

    A dark laugh was heard.

    The candidate from the Amperge family who was lying down tied with a rope was shaking his shoulders and smiling.

    “What should I do with this?”

    He twisted his mouth.

    “Maybe he won’t come? Another seat is empty like this.”

    “Chairman!”

    The headquarters employee holding the communication crystal ball rushed towards Simon in a huff.

    “Let’s talk for a moment!”

    “yes.”

    The freshmen stuck their heads out the window to see what was going on. Simon walked quickly along the dock with the staff and talked.

    “Just communicated with headquarters. Apart from our Langerstine team all students set off for Locke Island.”

    “We’re the only ones who haven’t set off.”

    “That’s right. And when it was reported that there was a shortage of one person headquarters issued new guidelines.”

    The employee continued speaking with an earthy face.

    “If you do not arrive after 5 minutes we will ask you to put the next candidate on the boat.”

    “!”

    Simon immediately turned his head. Candidate No. 1001 who was tied up with a rope was smiling meaningfully.

    “It’s hard to accept.”

    Simon spoke persuasively.

    “That candidate used indiscriminate violence and even tried to attack our students. You saw it all before!”

    “It’s hard for me to understand but that’s the guidance from headquarters. I can’t help it.”

    The number of students enrolled at Kizen has been maintained at ‘1000’ for hundreds of years. That number has been a long-standing tradition and the reason why there were ‘candidates’ was to ensure that the number was 1000 in case of an emergency.

    If there is a shortage of personnel Keygen will put aside other issues and try to fill in the numbers.

    Simon stood on tiptoe and looked around the dock.

    ‘I can’t even see #1002 or #1003 nearby.’

    It was quite possible that several other candidates were wandering around the site but only one candidate that of the Amperge family came. It smelled bad.

    Jerk. Jerk.

    Simon walked quickly towards the candidate from the Amperge family. He was smiling calmly as if he knew this whole situation.

    “you.”

    Simon said with a serious look on his face.

    “You ordered people to kidnap the new student right?”

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    The candidate avoided eye contact and spoke in a hesitant tone.

    “Don’t get upset and try to solve this. Let me get on the boat too.”

    “…….”

    Simon was sure.

    This guy kidnapped Heidi to get into Keygen.

    ‘I won’t fall for provocation. Let’s be cool.’

    Simon first took out a dagger from subspace and cut the candidate’s rope.

    “Ah I guess I’ll buy something now. Because it was tied too tightly to prevent bleeding.”

    The candidate stood up and tapped my neck.

    “Now let’s go to Locke Island…”

    “Kneel.”

    Simon kicked his legs and made him kneel on the floor. The minions held his arms tightly to prevent him from doing anything foolish.

    “Oh really!”

    A sly smile appeared on his lips.

    “Is it okay for a guy named the student council president to beat up a freshman like this? Just follow the rules! If one person doesn’t show up you can just let the candidate in. Why is it so complicated!”

    It wasn’t entirely wrong.

    As Simon the student council president’s job is to lead new students.

    If we just take this guy to Rock Island like this the 1000 seats will be filled and the entrance ceremony will go smoothly.

    And this guy sold himself to dangerous black magic. After a few months it will automatically be filtered out from the competition due to side effects.

    ‘but.’

    Simon gritted his teeth.

    -Anyway it was fun to meet you! If you meet at school pretend you know me!

    Simone couldn’t give up on Heidi either.

    She did nothing wrong.

    If she passes the entrance exam but unfairly misses admission to Keygen she will have to live in pain and regret for the rest of her life.

    Since I came here as the student council president I will never see anything like that.

    ‘Let’s look for clues.’

    Simon grabbed the candidate’s jacket and pulled it up. I saw countless permanent magic circles drawn on his body.

    ‘……also.’

    Simon looked at the black magic circle drawn on his stomach with cool eyes.

    Necromancers’ magic circles have different compositions even if they use the same black magic. Just as the fingerprints on each person’s hands are different so are the necromancer’s habits and jet-black nature.

    Simon had already seen this composition somewhere. The same goes for this jet-black texture.

    ‘Yesterday when Arthur was attacked.’

    The unidentified group that attacked Arthur.

    I thought they were a petty gang that took money from outsiders but when Simon overpowered them they disappeared using strange black magic. Although he was not a necromancer he had a permanent magic circle drawn on his body.

    ‘The one who casted it on that candidate is a necromancer who enjoys using high-risk black magic.’

    The puzzle in my head comes together quickly.

    Simon believes that this candidate is related to the group that attacked Arthur and there is a high possibility that the group kidnapped Heidi.

    The reason they attacked Arthur was probably to kidnap him for just one day and prevent him from entering the ship.

    However the kidnapping of Arthur failed and the target was eventually changed to the slightly easier Heidi.

    ‘This is it.’

    Although he was distracted by the forbidden black magic and went on a rampage he had a part of him that believed when the candidate first told him to check for empty seats.

    Simon stood up.

    “Did you find out anything?”

    An employee approached me with a nervous look and asked.

    “How much time is left?”

    “We are leaving in 5 minutes.”

    “Couldn’t we extend the time a little more?”

    The employee frowned and was lost in thought. Then he smiled slightly.

    “……Would you like to write a poem? I think I can somehow extend it by 10 minutes.”

    15 minutes!

    “Enough.”

    Simon turned his back.

    “After 15 minutes please don’t wait for me and leave immediately as scheduled.”

    “Oh I understand.”

    fault!

    Simon started running raising his jet black legs like boosters.

    The freshmen watched the scene with a buzz and the candidate sneered and giggled.

    “Try hard try hard. I said it couldn’t be done~”

    * * *

    fault! Tadat!

    Simon opened a very large sub-space while running along the deserted beach road.

    “I’m coming out. Archemus.”

    Sigh!

    A man with jet black wings reminiscent of a crow jumped out from inside.

    [Did you call me? master!]

    Archemus the leader of the Skullwing unit.

    Since I had to go out of Rock Island before using the teleportation magic circle I brought it with me in case I was attacked by Magnus.

    I was determined not to use Ancient Undead in the city but the situation was urgent so I had no choice.

    “Please make the darkness as dark as possible and take me to the sky.”

    [I will follow your instructions!]

    Archemus hugged Simon tightly and immediately soared into the sky using only the power of his wings. Langerstine’s tall buildings whizzed past and in an instant the sky was visible past the rooftops.

    “Ugh!”

    Simon closed his eyes tightly and endured the pressure.

    And after a while.

    Flap!

    Flap!

    Two black wings spread straight out in the sky.

    Simon was up on a cloud. Buildings and people are visible in the distance.

    ‘Okay if I raise it to this level I won’t be caught by other necromancers.’

    Simon turned his head and looked at Archemus.

    “Archemus! Do you remember the feather you gave me at Peer’s Ruins?”

    [Of course I remember. master!]

    Simon’s eyes lit up.

    “You said you could find that feather no matter where it was right?”

    Archemus nodded.

    [Of course.]

    * * *

    “…….”

    Heidi opened her eyes.

    A place I don’t even know where it is. When I opened my eyes it was here. If you stick your head out you will see something like a sofa or bed and this is the kitchen.

    It seemed like ‘those guys’ had probably rented a lodging somewhere and used it as a hideout.

    Slap!

    Her arms were tied to chains fixed to the wall.

    I cried so much that the area under my eyes stung. I had no strength in my whole body. A bowl was placed in front of my knees which were worn out from struggling.

    “No you didn’t even eat a single bite? Is it okay to ignore our sincerity like this?”

    The dirty-looking bearded man laughed.

    She ignored those words and turned her head away. I saw a window.

    “……!”

    The day was shining brightly outside the window.

    “Oh no!”

    She tried to get up. But with the sound of a chain crashing her body sat down again.

    “Please get me out of here…! please!”

    She begged shedding tears.

    “Please! I have to go to Kizen today! The ship will be leaving soon!”

    The men who kidnapped Heidi just burst out laughing.

    “I told you to give up.”

    “They should have already left by now.”

    As the day dawned great despair clouded Heidi’s vision. All the efforts to enter Keygen passed away like smoke.

    When you first open the core.

    When I made the jet black arrow.

    When I was shaking and solving the first question of the entrance exam.

    And the day I finally received Keygen’s admission letter. When the three of us Mom and Dad hugged each other and shed tears.

    All of this went to waste.

    The day before admission.

    I let my guard down and got kidnapped.

    ‘…I want to go.’

    She closed her eyes looking out the window as it got brighter.

    ‘I want to go to Kizen. Even if it means selling your soul to the devil…!’

    The man who saw her smiled.

    “It would be better to give up cleanly. It’s too late to leave now…”

    Wow!

    As the window shattered the girl witnessed a miracle happen before her eyes. My ears buzzed like noise.

    feathers.

    Thousands of pitch-black clouds outside the broken window. Tens of thousands of crow feathers fluttered around the room covering the entire area in pitch black.

    And what appears among the black feathers exploding out is a boy in a black school uniform.

    Wow-

    He is seen sliding his feet on the floor and moving forward gracefully and is seen approaching the three men.

    Lightly.

    Black feathers covering the surroundings briefly obscured Heidi’s vision and then came down. Meanwhile the boy passed forward and three men were seen soaring into the air spraying blood.

    Pow!

    Sigh!

    Crack!

    Their bodies were stuck to the ceiling and walls.

    “what’s the matter!”

    The men in the living room came running. Again it was hit by a large black feather that flew outside the window and flew away.

    “It’s not too late.”

    A gentle voice that seems to calm the mind.

    The blue-haired boy’s pupils shined among the black feathers falling in the sky.

    As he gestured metal snakes appeared from nowhere and tightened her chains shattering them.

    “you are……!”

    Heidi’s eyes widened dramatically as she felt her arms become free. The boy smiled and held out his hand.

    “I’ll take you there. With keygen.”
