Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 477
by Jessie@AFNCC
Episode 477
An hour ago.
When most of the students had completed the Skeleton Knight Simon was still concentrating on assembling the skeleton.
“Now!”
Simon’s Skeleton Knight swung his sword.
Pingrrrrrr-
At the same time as he swung the sword his waist also rotated causing his entire upper body to spin about two times. The students who were watching were busy laughing and holding their stomachs.
“I’m sorry. Simon. Sigh!”
Even Toto was covering his mouth with a gaping look on his face. It was a sight that could only be laughed at but among the students Simon was the only one with an excited expression and sparkling eyes.
“This is cool!”
“……huh?”
Toto looked at Simon with strange eyes.
* * *
And another hour later Simon and Aseraz were standing on the podium leading their Skeleton Knights.
“Undead duel. I did it a lot during my freshman year so I think I know the rules well. The sorcerer’s black magic is strictly prohibited and the one who decapitates the undead first wins.”
“yes!”
“yes!”
Simon and Aseraz responded energetically.
‘Simon Pollentia.’
Aaron’s head turned.
‘You’ve always been gifted at coming up with unexpected moves.’
I still get goosebumps when I think of the fight that took place between a skeleton walking on two legs and a skeleton running on four legs.
But this time things are different. The undead are rogue and above all they are skeleton knights. Because it is armored it is impossible to move the bones and reassemble them into a new form.
‘But seeing as he’s determined to win there must be a reason.’
After seeing that the two students were ready Aaron opened his mouth.
“Start.”

Cheoeok.
chuck.
Simon and Areraj took their stances at the same time.
“I’m sorry but I have no intention of losing.”
Aseraz raised her slender arms. Her Skeleton Knight held up two swords and took a neat uncluttered battle stance.
“I don’t even want it.”
Simon responded and prepared the Skeleton Knight. She frowned when she saw that.
“……What are you doing now?”
Just like Aseraz’s Skeleton Knight Simon’s Skeleton Knight also came with two swords and twin blades. I could hear the students murmuring.
“Have you had enlightenment? Did you properly understand the nature of the Skeleton Knight and give it to him? Or do you just want to insult me?”
“Not all three.”
Simon smiled slightly.
“But I won.”
Sparks flew in her eyes.
“Just give it a try!”
Taaaat!
The Skeleton Knight reacted to her thoughts and attacked her violently. He spread his arms slightly and let his two swords hang down taking the ideal stance for dual swordsmanship.
And Simon’s skeleton knight’s stance against this was unique.
chuck!
chuck!
He just suddenly spread his sword-holding arms to the left and right like wings.
“Do it!”
Asheraz shouted in an angry voice.
The two swords of the Skeleton Knight she controlled flew at the opposing Skeleton Knight’s neck at a perfect angle.
‘Gotcha!’
Buuuuung!
However the two swords unexpectedly split the air. Aseraz who was watching from behind had the illusion that the target had disappeared. Simon’s Skeleton Knight avoided it by bending his back strangely.
“Make a mistake!”
Aseraz’s Skeleton Knight reacted quickly and tried to slash his sword downward while Simon’s Skeleton Knight spread his bent knees and dug in backwards.
‘The timing is perfect!’
Simon disarmed one of the magic circles connected to the skeleton. Then the solid line around her waist suddenly broke and the jet black hair that had been twisted like a twist began to straighten out.
Pingrrrrrrrr!
The Skeleton Knight with his arms outstretched held his sword and spun like a top. The Knight of Aseraz quickly gathered his two swords and set up a guard.
Let’s go!
Sparks flew and the two swords simply bounced off.
‘what?!’
Soon Simon’s knight passed by Aseraz’s knight and landed on the floor.

Slur-
The Skeleton Knight who had finished spinning stopped and knelt down on one knee.
At the same time the head of the opposing Skeleton Knight was flying high into the sky.
‘rotation!’
Aseraz’s pupils shook.
The students who were watching also opened their mouths. Her skeleton knight’s head fell to the floor and rolled around.
Aaron lowered his arms and shouted.
“Simon Pollentia’s victory.”
Wow!
It was an unexpected ending. The students opened their mouths and talked frantically.
“What did you just see?”
“What did you do? I heard a skeleton was just spinning around?”
Aseraz stretched out her arms with a vain look on her face.
Simon’s Skeleton Knight struck a cool pose with both swords raised but soon his back swayed and then bent back diminishing his majesty.
“Please explain to your classmates what happened. Simon Pollentia.”
Simon nodded.
“At first the knight I purchased was defective around the waist. So I just separated the upper and lower bodies.”
“Separated?”
“yes.”
Sigh.
Simon took out something that looked like bluish artificial cartilage from his pocket. When I pulled it with my fingertips it stretched and was very elastic.
“This is used to make the joints of a skeleton archer and I connected the upper and lower body and twisted it like a top. I sealed it there with a magic circle to prevent it from being released. The operation method is simple. When the magic circle’s seal is released remotely the twisted cartilage returns to its original position and the skeleton knight holding the sword rotates at high speed for 10 seconds.”
Simon drew a circle with his fingertips.
“It’s bad but I was lucky to figure out this gimmick! Wouldn’t it be great to rotate the knights as soon as they are taken out into subspace? I’m thinking of improving it a bit and registering it as a pentammonium patent.”
“…….”
Aaron just touched his forehead.
Even as my head throbbed the corners of my mouth turned up.
“Crazy guy.”
* * *
Simon received an A+ grade in his first performance evaluation ‘Producing a Skeleton Knight.’
After placing the spinning knight in sub-space while happily whistling I left the classroom.
I wanted to go for a leisurely lunch but since I had a ‘major class’ right next time I just bought a sandwich at the canteen and walked on.
Other students were also moving around buying and eating good food.
“The next class is Summoning Materials but it’s a bit far to get to the classroom!”
Toto said taking out his notebook and looking at it.
“How far do I have to go?”
“here.”
Toto opened the second-year campus map he had kept in his notebook and pointed to it.
“Wow that’s quite a bit of money.”
“huh. It’s a similar distance to Professor Hong Peng’s outdoor class.”
Because the class was just one hour away the Summoning Department students had to move diligently. Fortunately the spacious Kizen second-year campus had a horse-drawn carriage that ran free of charge within the camper.
So they rode a carriage crossed a bridge passed through a forest and finally arrived at the place.
Gooooooo-
It was the entrance to a huge cave.
“Teaching classes here?”
“I think I’d believe it even if it was a dungeon.”
While the students were making a fuss someone suddenly jumped out from the darkness of the cave. Toto next to me let out a surprised sound ‘Wow!’
“hello.”
A man in a strange outfit.
He was wearing an unidentifiable uniform and had a band tied around his shaved head. Tattoos of unknown meaning were visible under the eyes and on the face and the eyes were out of focus.
He bowed with his hands clasped together and greeted the students.
“I am the teaching assistant in charge of guiding this class. Everyone please follow me.”
Leaving only those words the assistant turned his back and walked into the darkness of the cave. The students also murmured and quickly followed him.
Took- Took-
The sound of water falling from the cave was unusually loud. I could hear the sound of waves crashing and the rock wall scraping which seemed to come from far away.
Simon looked around with curious eyes.
‘How deep is it here?’
After walking for about 20 minutes I saw a railroad track in the cave.
“I will wear a hard hat and board the train.”
Toto looked around with an anxious expression.
“Oh my god are we going deeper here?”
Food deud-deuddeuk!
Huh!
Wow!
The students screamed and lowered their posture. Suddenly a flock of bats passed over the students’ heads.
‘Surprise.’
Simon also raised his head. The teaching assistant here looked carefree as if he had just seen a passing bird.
“Come on let’s get in.”
This orbital train was designed so that three people could ride in one compartment. Simon gave Toto who was short a hard hat hanging on the wall and put it on his head himself.
Hot!
But suddenly there was a hand grabbing Simon’s wrist.
“Come quickly~ Simon!”
“Serne?”
She narrowed her eyes.
“I’m scared of dark places so you have to stay with me. What are you doing?”
“No what are you talking about-”
In the end Simon was dragged by Cernet and stood in front of the train.
It seemed as if it was not intended to carry people and everywhere it was covered in pitch black ash.
“hmm-”
Sernet who was disapproving at the sight grabbed her skirt and jumped in place.
No matter how many times I saw that ability it was amazing.
White feathers poured from her body sparkling and flying landing on the train compartment and turning into luxurious feather blankets and carpets.
Other places were dirty but this place feels like a luxurious room.
“Now let’s sit together. Simon.”
But as darkness descended in that luxurious compartment a black-haired girl appeared as if she had been sitting there from the beginning.
Cernet frowned.
“Why are you here on your own?”
Lorraine responded coldly without even turning around.
“You already have a criminal record right? I can’t leave you and Simon alone.”
“Oh really~ You always disturb people!”
I had no choice as I had to leave soon.
The moment Cernet gets on the train grumbling and Simon is about to get into the compartment for the last time.
“Train No. 1 will leave first.”
The teaching assistant suddenly popped out and entered the last compartment. Simon was hit on the back and pushed away.
Shake!
Immediately the train departed and the teaching assistant bowed and bowed putting his fists together. Cerne who was left with Lorraine without Simon can be heard screaming in anger.
“…….”
Rattle rattle!
And then Train No. 2 arrived at the railroad next to Simon. A new instructor wearing the same outfit as before jumped out of the darkness.
“Students please board the next train.”
* * *
Rattling- rattling-
Train No. 2 departed. Simon was looking at the cave ceiling with an embarrassed smile.
‘How did this happen?’
I thought I was going on a ride with Lorraine and Cerne but when I came to my senses I found myself surrounded by men.
“Ugh!”
On the right was Toto who had followed Simon. He was so frightened that he was trembling holding on to one of Simon’s arms.
And on the left.
“…….”
There was Hector.
He also looked very upset because he was separated from the friends he was going to ride with. Because it was so big Simon was stuck in the train.
Simon and Hector kept an uncomfortable silence and only Toto was scared! Hehe! The streets were making noise and making a fuss.
“Close your mouth.”
Hector’s mouth opened.
“Tttttttttt. It’s noisy. dwarf.”
These were words directed at Toto. Under Hector’s pressure Toto hiccuped and closed his mouth. However if he still saw something scary he whined and gave strength to Simon’s arm.
Simon looked at Hector for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Hector.”
“Don’t talk to me.”
Hector responded coldly but Simon decided to try conversation rather than making things awkward.
Because I don’t think I’ve had a proper conversation with him since freshman year ended.
“Didn’t you get scolded by your third-year seniors last time? You just kicked me out before the department welcome party even started.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
Hector opened his eyes sharply.
“And according to regulations department representatives can only make recommendations and cannot be involved in the affairs of the student council. That’s why I didn’t stop you.”
“ah.”
“But the opposite is also true. Even if you are a member of the student council you cannot get involved in the affairs of the department. That’s a monthly pass.”
Simon smiled slightly.
“Still if the line is crossed like last time our student council will have no choice but to step in.”
“……This bastard.”
The sparkling eyes of the two boys met directly.
Hector who had been glaring at Simon for a moment while struggling with his nerves suddenly let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.
“Of course I am personally grateful that you prevented the last hazing incident.”
Simon’s eyes opened wide.
What does he say now?
“But not twice.”
After Hector said that he didn’t say anything until the train arrived.
