Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 476



Episode 476

Skeleton Knight was a more difficult task than expected.

There were many areas to pay particular attention to. Not only did you have to connect the bones straight like a puzzle like a regular skeleton but you also had to consider ‘armor’.

Some parts have armor on them after assembly and some have bones and armor attached from the beginning to form one part. The moment you confuse the order a catastrophe occurs.

‘Well it’s definitely not easy.’

You must understand the structure and connection sequence of the armor before assembling the bones.

Simon looked around and saw that quite a few students were raising their hands and asking for help. The assistants in the Summoning Department were running around today again leaving a bitter taste in their mouths.

“There is no need to think too complicatedly.”

I heard Aaron’s voice.

“Armor is ultimately just one part. Don’t get caught up in the details but look at the overall picture and work your way through it step by step.”

Simon quickly completed the two legs first. As I took a step back and looked at the finished product a proud smile naturally formed.

‘It’s okay. ‘This is the charm of a knight!’

From the necromancer’s point of view there is a notion that skeletons are fragile and laborious undead that crumble when struck. However since the vulnerable bone joints were covered with metal it couldn’t look this strong.

As soon as his hands began to relax Simon immediately created the torso and installed the chest armor. Once I got the hang of it I was able to follow the order without stopping.

‘Insert it into the groove here and connect it here with jet black thread.’

Toto let out an envious sound as he watched Simon’s Skeleton Knight rapidly taking shape.

“amazing! Have you already made that much?”

“It’s worth doing once your hands are free.”

At first I had a hard time because I had no knowledge of armor and metal smelting but once the blockage was cleared it was easy to solve after that.

Now on Simon’s practice table there was a skeleton knight divided into a lower body and an upper body. This had to be done because of the structure of the armor.

‘last!’

Simon rolled up his sleeves.

‘If we connect this upper body to the lower body and cover it with armor…!’

That’s it!

It was quite heavy due to the weight of the armor. Simon whined and lifted his armor and there was a tup from the other side. There was a white hand holding it.

“I’ll help you.”

“thank you! Lorraine.”

The two people stably held the upper body from both sides and then slowly attached the upper body to the lower body at the signal counting from one two three to three.

Sweet.

You can hear the sound of a proper connection. The jet black of the two vertebrae meet connect and heal into one skeleton.

“Good!”

Upon completion Simon let out an exclamation of joy.

however.

Squeak!

An incredibly ominous sound was heard.

After that sound the Skeleton Knight stumbled and out of nowhere with the sound of something breaking it bent its back sharply and became deeply bent towards Simon.

“??”

Simone and Lorraine looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

* * *

Simon immediately asked Aaron for help.

Aaron who was carefully examining the bent skeleton knight finally opened his mouth.

“There didn’t seem to be any problems with assembly.”

“Then what?”

“It is defective.”

thud!

Simon’s heart sank.

“There are defects in the factory system but undead products like this are not rare. Although the upper and lower body were joined properly the bones above seemed to have been damaged from the beginning. In the end it probably couldn’t overcome the weight of the armor and bent.”

“ah…….”

Simon sighed regretfully.

‘Ugh I should have bought the vanilla brand!’

I stopped by the Necromancer store briefly before leading a new student in Langerstine and the Skeleton Knight’s vanilla brand had almost run out of stock.

The clerk recommended a product from the ‘Pastel’ brand which was one level lower in quality and Simon debated whether to just buy the more expensive product in Rochester or just buy it here and ended up buying the Pastel product.

“Don’t be too disappointed. This is a common experience for summoners.”

Aaron said that and walked towards another student.

“Contact the place where you purchased the product and proceed with the refund process.”

“……yes.”

Simon stared helplessly at the Skeleton Knight whose back was sagging.

“Shoe~jang! I made good use of the glue I lent you!”

At that time the orange-haired female student who had just borrowed the bone glue approached me with a lively smile.

“huh?”

Then he looked at Simon whose head was drooping in frustration and the Skeleton Knight whose back was sagging.

“Kyahahahaha!”

She burst out laughing. As I burst out laughing loudly the students around me frowned and turned around.

“What is this! Ugh! Hahahaha! What kind of old man skeleton is this?”

“They say it’s defective.”

Simon took the glue back with a red face.

“Kyaha! Hehehe! Oh sorry! Ugh!”

After laughing out loud she stumbled as if her body had lost strength and leaned back against Toto’s body. Toto stiffened and his face turned red.

“Because your pose and the skeleton pose are the same. Ughhh! That master’s summoned beast. Kikikick!”

“Stop laughing!”

And a little distance away.

Aseraz ranked 5th in the ranking turned his head after hearing the sound of laughter and his eyes were shining.

‘Product defect? He was the pickiest guy but I’m lucky with my first class.’

Hector who was in the very back seat was also looking at this with an expressionless face.

‘Why do days like this exist?’

Simon who was left alone again looked at the Skeleton Knight whose back was bent and whining. But again I flopped and my back bent to the other side.

‘I can’t give up like this. There’s still a lot of class time left.’

Of course considering that Aron was defective he said he would give the production score a perfect score but because the level of completion was low he could not prevent the overall score from dropping.

Keygen was inflexible in its evaluation and only the results mattered.

‘I try everything I can’t do!’

If the result is important you just need to use a temporary solution or something to keep your back tight so that you can move properly just for today.

Simon took out the tape used in summoning from his bag and ripped it open.

Then he whipped around the waist in a wild motion.

‘The pitch-black route is taken out to the side.’

Simon drew a small magic circle on the defective bone and drew a magic circle on top of it as well. By building a temporary circuit the magic circle was able to communicate with pitch darkness without passing through the bones.

‘Okay this feeling?’

Simon stepped back and crossed his arms.

“Move! knight!”

Clap clap clap.

As Simon gave the command with resignation the Skeleton Knight began to hesitate and take one step at a time. Although it was clumsy I was able to walk.

‘Running may be difficult but this is the extent of it.’

Simon sighed took out a sword from subspace and placed it in the Skeleton Knight’s hand. Then he pointed the sword in a direction where there were no people.

“Swing!”

Buuuuung!

It has a fairly lively sound. Hope came alive in Simon’s eyes. The students also murmured and looked in Simon’s direction.

“This time horizontally!”

Buaaaaang!

The Skeleton Knight turned his waist and took a big swing.

Snap!

Unable to overcome that force the Skeleton Knight’s back bent again and shook like a spring. Simon covered his forehead and loud laughter was heard around him.

“are you okay? Simon.”

Lorraine approached and asked. Simon nodded vigorously.

“of course. I’m not giving up yet.”

“Yes cheer up.”

Did you come here to encourage me? Simon really felt his body gain strength.

‘But I just saw the path.’

All of Simon’s equipment was taken out on the table. I never intended to give up.

* * *

Time passed.

Students completed their skeleton knights one by one and waited in line to be inspected.

And the first person to complete a knight in the 2nd year summoning department was ‘Aseraz Mikel’.

Boom- Boom-

Every time her knight swung his sword exclamations of exclamation could be heard from everywhere.

A blow that comes straight down with great force. It could not even be compared to the promiscuous swordsmanship of an ordinary skeleton.

“Well done. Aseraz.”

Aaron who was holding the evaluation form nodded.

“The score is……”

“It’s not over yet. professor.”

As Aseraz gave the command with resignation the Skeleton Knight put down the shield he was holding in his left hand. Instead he grabbed another sword.

‘Twin Blades?’

The moment Aseraz gives instructions.

Sreung! Sreung!

The two swords crossed in a beautiful trajectory. The students couldn’t help but open their mouths as they cheered. Aaron also nodded in satisfaction.

“Quite a bit. How did you do it?”

“The material for my Skeleton Knight is Galvaren a level 3 monster.”

She quickly started explaining.

“It is a monster that uses an irregular fighting method. After connecting strongly with the Skeleton Knight’s thoughts I devoted myself to finding the most appropriate techniques I had used in my lifetime. I found that holding two swords doubled the effect and I tried changing the skeleton of the wrist and arm to match those characteristics.”

“……Creating a summoned animal is basic and you’ve already given it a personality.”

Aaron smiled.

“It’s a pity that I can’t give it a higher score than A+. Good job.”

Clap clap clap!

Aseraz came down from the podium receiving applause from the students.

“next!”

Hector received an A+ for assembling a knight that was 1.5 times the size of a normal skeleton knight as large as himself. It was common knowledge in summonology that the larger the skeleton the more difficult it was to make.

Fitzgerald received praise from students for creating a unique undead that engraved an enchantment magic circle on the equipment and then strengthened the skeleton’s sword and armor by infusing them with jet black when battle began.

But Aaron had different thoughts.

“The idea is good but it didn’t take into account the knight’s jet black consumption and available time. As it is it is difficult to move for more than 5 minutes let alone be strong enough to not require control.”

Fitzgerald was taken aback by the unexpected harsh criticism but quickly adjusted his glasses and responded.

“My goal was to create a Skeleton Knight model specialized in short-term decisive battles that offsets its shortcomings.”

“It wasn’t a bad answer for an impromptu response.”

But Aaron was on top of Fitzgerald’s head.

“If you were really trying to create a model specialized for short-term decisive battles you wouldn’t have given the enchantment magic circle to the armor.”

“…….”

“And if they had used lighter armor I would have given in to that. It’s B+. Fitzgerald.”

No amount of skill could fool Professor Kizen.

Fitzgerald neatly acknowledged returned to his seat and spoke quietly to Toto.

“I thought it was an attempt worth giving.”

“……ha ha ha.”

And then.

“Simon Pollentia.”

Simon came up for evaluation. Next to him was a skeleton knight with unsteady steps. Loud laughter erupted from everywhere.

“……You worked hard.”

Aaron said sadly.

He was a Skeleton Knight who poured out all kinds of materials and succeeded in straightening his defective back but it seemed like he sacrificed a lot in return. The armor was also cut to resemble light armor to reduce weight.

“As I said before there were no flaws in your production. However as a professor of summoning I have to look at and evaluate the results.”

“I know.”

“Simon the points I will give you…”

“Wait a minute Professor.”

Aaron turned his head. Simon smiled meaningfully and spread his arms.

“I am confident that I can win against any knight with this knight.”

The students around them murmured. There were also students who openly laughed.

“Bluffing?”

“It’s like that even after seeing what happened to Fitzgerald earlier.”

“I said it wouldn’t work for Professor Aaron.”

A deep smile appeared on Aaron’s lips when he heard those words.

“Can you take responsibility for that?”

“Of course.”

Aaron’s head turned.

The first person you see is Hector.

Honestly as someone who watched Simon and Hector grow together in Class A I wanted to see them fight.

However as a professor I had to put aside my selfishness during class. The student with the best skeleton knight in this class.

“Aseraz Mikel. Come out.”

Grumble!

As if he had been waiting Aseraz got up and brought a skeleton knight with two swords.

Hector was halfway on his butt but when he saw Aseraz leaving he gritted his teeth.

“Simon Pollentia.”

Aaron turned his head.

“If you defeat the Skeleton Knight of Aseraz I will deceive you.”

A smile appeared on Simon’s lips.

“I’ll show you.”
