    Episode 492

    The mood of the twin professors changed.

    Lin standing on the left raised his index finger and spoke.

    “Now follow along. Slowly as slowly as possible. Find-die Die-be!”

    Simon stammered and slowly followed her words.

    “Fin-ded-ie D-ie-be!”

    “How come the beat breaks?”

    The rune on the right pointed out keenly.

    “This is it this time. Ra-v-ri-ma-đưa ra. anh!”

    “Rav-rima-đưara. anh!”

    Simon once again missed the beat and stuttered.

    At best two Keygen professors failed to give private lessons! My face felt hot and embarrassed.

    ‘Am I a bitch after all?’

    “Then let’s go with something easier! Lin?”

    “I think that would be good. Rune!”

    The two girls waved their index fingers and opened their mouths at the same time.

    “School-paper- ding. Ding. Ding. Come on let’s get together.”

    “???”

    Simon made a blank expression. The difficulty suddenly dropped too much?

    “What are you doing! Follow me!”

    “Oh yes.”

    Although he was a little embarrassed Simon obediently did as he was told. The twins nodded at the same time.

    “Look! You’re good at it right? Simon!”

    “What do you think is the problem? Simon?”

    Simon scratched the back of his neck.

    “It’s not a funeral song it’s just an easy song.”

    “I just sing well but why is the tempo wrong in the funeral song? Simon.”

    “Have you ever wondered why only funeral songs are out of rhythm? Simon.”

    ‘Now that I think about it.’

    The two girls swapped places and laughed.

    “You knew it from the beginning.”

    “What is the correct answer?”

    “Actually Finde-die Die-be should be called Fin-ded-ie D-ie-be like you.”

    “That’s the original.”

    Simon’s head spun.

    What on earth are you trying to say?

    “The funeral song taught to the students in the first summons funeral class is the song of humans.”

    “This is a system that uses human sounds to operate a magic circle created by humans so the rhythm must match the magic circle.”

    “But Simon sings it in a raw way.”

    “Simon knows the real thing not Bacchi so he is not used to other methods.”

    “I’ll tell you something new about Simon.”

    The two cleared their throats opened a soundproof barrier around them and sang a new song at the same time.

    [Der Konig von Undead fiel hier nieder――!!]

    “!!”

    Simon felt goosebumps rising all over his body.

    “Try to follow me.”

    Simon reproduced their music exactly. A short song consisting of a few sentences.

    Simon also performed this song without difficulty.

    “I understand. Keep calling.”

    “Close your eyes and create pitch darkness.”

    Simon closed his eyes and began to sing.

    “Ich sclwöre bie-de Dun kelheit.”

    Emotions are heightened. The song goes well like a lie as if making up for the hardships I went through earlier.

    “Okay I’m doing well!”

    “Like when giving orders to undead-”

    “Stronger!”

    “With more determination!”

    Simon who was shouting the song with a frown felt a tightness in his chest.

    “Make it ring harder!”

    “Higher!”

    Simon took a deep breath.

    Then I felt like I was vomiting out something that was stuffy deep in my heart.

    [Der Konig von Undead fiel hier nieder――!!]

    Without realizing it Simon exercised ‘absolute command’ with his own voice not with his thoughts.

    Grumble.

    Grumble.

    The moment Simon sang the stone chambers of the graveyard in this complex place opened with a loud sound and skeletons and zombies began to rise.

    Phew!

    puck!

    Zombie arms rose from the floor and skeletons flocked in their eyes shining.

    [Der König ist Zurück—!!]

    One.

    Two.

    Dozens if not hundreds of undead in the graveyard.

    They gathered in front of Simon.

    “also.”

    “That’s right.”

    The twin professors held hands. All the undead here stood up and knelt down in worship to Simon.

    “ah.”

    Simon finally opened his eyes and was shocked by the scene that unfolded around him.

    [Hehehehe! I got a kick out of this.]

    Peer’s clone could be heard giggling.

    “What Nephthys said is correct.”

    “Right right.”

    The twin professors approached with their eyes shining. Then they asked at the exact same time.

    “Are you the ‘seventh’?”

    Simon flinched.

    “I heard it from Nephthys. Baby corps commander.”

    “I was keeping an eye on you. Baby corps commander.”

    The twin professors’ eyes sparkled.

    “Nephthys wants you to rise to the next level.”

    “You are the most important key to Nephthys’ plan.”

    Hundreds of undead let out the cries of the dead.

    The hands of the two twin professors went up.

    “Our test-”

    “Congratulations on successfully passing.”

    All the dead who rose from the graveyard opened their jaws and cried.

    It was an unforgettable experience for Simon.

    * * *

    The next morning.

    “Undead are beings on the border between life and death and necromancers are people who breathe special life into the dead.”

    2nd year intermediate summoning class.

    “Of course the priests of the Holy Federation think that it is a strange puppet manipulation technique that moves corpses but there is a qualitatively different reason from that. Necromancers use the skills of the undead when they were alive.”

    The professor in charge Aaron was walking around the podium holding a textbook and explaining things.

    “The ‘Rune of Repression’ which has the power to control residual thoughts and bring out the undead’s skills from when they were alive and the base formula are essential for summoners to learn. It is not only used when using Skeleton Knight. From now on I will explain various variations and structures. Open your textbook to page 16.”

    The students flipped through their textbooks and took notes on what Aaron had written on the blackboard.

    “…….”

    Simon who was dazed by himself heard the sound of snapping fingers and turned his head. Lorraine sitting next to me was looking at me worriedly.

    “what’s the matter? Simon. What’s going on?”

    “Oh no. It’s nothing.”

    Simon quickly came to his senses and said.

    “It’s not like usual.”

    This time Toto from the opposite seat spoke.

    “This is the first time I’ve seen Simon blank out while taking Professor Aaron’s class.”

    Lorraine narrowed her brows.

    “……Are you heartbroken because you couldn’t sing the funeral song yesterday?”

    This time I heard a chuckle coming from the backseat.

    It was Cerne.

    “I guess I was very shocked when I first found out that I was Parkchi~”

    “It’s not like that!”

    Simon said blushing.

    “You guys over there be quiet.”

    At Aaron’s words the four people fell silent again and turned their attention to the textbook.

    ‘I keep thinking about what happened yesterday.’

    match! match!

    Simon patted his cheek and came to his senses.

    And then it was time to write down the contents on the blackboard again.

    -Kiriri!

    “!”

    When I came in a spider was tapping on the window.

    Simon was startled and looked at his surroundings.

    Fortunately Aaron and the assistants are looking elsewhere.

    Simon opened the window with as natural a movement as possible and the corpse spider dropped a note on Simon’s desk through the gap in the open window and disappeared.

    ‘This is a letter from Hergé! ‘Did you find out something?’

    Currently Erzsebet was investigating an unidentified group that had been experimenting with the ‘sword’ in the Dresden Royal Library.

    Simon fluttered and opened the document.

    “To my lovely corps commander”

    I’m sure Hergé sent it! Simon tensed up and read the contents of the note.

    “Even now as I write this letter in the library all I can think about is the corps commander. Even thinking about the one-day date ticket that the corps commander gave her as a reward makes the girl’s heart pound…”

    ‘…That sounds strange wasting half of the report.’

    Simon immediately looked down and arrived at the next paragraph.

    “I believe that this has conveyed at least one tenth of the millionth of the girl’s love for the corps commander and I am giving you this interim report. To conclude we haven’t figured out this language yet. “The more I research the more I think these letters are more of a sophisticated code rather than a language.”

    It’s an advanced encryption method.

    “I was looking through the materials in case I might discover a regularity and I came across the scribbles of the person who wrote or read the materials. Of course this graffiti was written in continental language.”

    “!”

    Simon lowered his head and looked at the next letter.

    “Large-scale cleaning of Tarados is necessary.”

    ‘…….’

    A strange look appeared in Simon’s eyes.

    What is tarados? Person’s name? Or is it a place name?

    And what does it mean that a major clean-up is needed?

    When Simon thought of the evil deeds they had committed the word seemed horrifying to Simon.

    ‘Peer peer.’

    Simon tapped Peer’s clone which was hanging like a badge on his school uniform.

    After a while a light came on in the eyes of Peer’s clone.

    [Hehehe! Why did you call me? boy!]

    ‘Please look at this here. This is the contents of Hergé’s interim report.’

    Peer said after reading Erzsebet’s note.

    [Tarados is a place name! It is located at the end of the Dresden Kingdom.]

    ‘hmm.’

    [They might be planning something there!]

    Simon nodded.

    Erzsebet said that looking at the state of the ink used in the scribbling it had not been that long since it was written.

    This is an important clue that was obtained with great difficulty.

    I never wanted to miss it.

    ‘What should I do?’

    At that time Simon was crossing his arms and thinking.

    “This is the end of today’s class.”

    Aaron announced the end of class. The students chatted loudly as if they had been waiting.

    “Quiet! I have one message to deliver.”

    Aaron took the chalk he was holding and traced it on the blackboard.

    “Mission evaluation begins this weekend.”

    The students’ expressions brightened.

    Mission evaluation.

    Among Keygen’s famously rigorous curriculum there was a perception that mission evaluation was relatively easy.

    By choosing a mission on Locke Island you could stay at the school and relax or by choosing a simple mission you could get away from Locke Island and relax with the feeling of sightseeing.

    Of course Simon was also using it to his advantage by finding his father’s ancient undead or securing funds and new undead.

    Precious time to go outside as a Keygen student. Simon has always looked forward to mission evaluation season.

    “I understand that you guys like it. but.”

    Aaron raised the corner of his mouth.

    “The rules of mission evaluation change slightly from the second year.”

    The request form for the mission evaluation that Simon experienced during his freshman year is as follows.

    White Request – Mission on Rock Island. No chance of a priest crash.

    Blue Request – Mission within the Dark Alliance. The possibility of a priest collision is extremely low.

    Red Request – Mission within the neutral zone. High probability of a priest collision.

    Black Request – Mission within the Holy Federation. Collided with Priest.

    And the biggest change in the second year mission evaluation.

    “The white request form disappears. Second years do not handle internal requests within Locke Island.”

    The students immediately started chattering.

    “The minimum score starts from the blue request and if you want to get a high score you must take on the red or black request. And you must do so within your second year.”

    Aaron raised his index finger and made the number 1.

    “You must select one black request and clear it.”

    The students’ mouths opened.

    The black request was a mission carried out by real professionals who infiltrated the ‘Holy Federation’ which was infested with priests.

    “……It’s no joke.”

    “I thought I couldn’t go to Shinsung Federation until I graduated.”

    The students were in great confusion.

    “What should I do Simon?”

    Toto trembled and looked at Simon.

    “The Holy Federation is truly a living hell where no one can live! Blood flows instead of rivers! Human corpses are floating away! Monsters hungry for divine power roam around!”

    Simon laughed bitterly.

    “Well I guess it’s not that bad.”

    “You’re sending us to such a scary place! You won’t even be able to cross the border and you’ll be caught by the Inquisitor and killed! You will be hung on a red cross!”

    thud! thud! Aaron pounded on the lectern.

    “Quiet.”

    The surroundings became quiet again.

    “There is still a lot of time left so think carefully. Our professors recommend that you carry out the ‘black request’ in the second semester after your skills have accumulated a little more.”

    Aaron walked with his back behind him dragging his slippers.

    “Tomorrow night a request bulletin board will be installed in the lobby of each department’s dormitory. Starting from the second year many duties appropriate for major students have been added so check them out. So that you can gain valuable practical experience that cannot be obtained at school. more.”

    “Thank you for your effort!”

    One by one students got up from their seats and walked out of the classroom. Simon’s eyes lit up as he organized his textbooks.

    ‘Peer. ‘You know what I’m going to talk about right?’

    [Hehehe! It’s been a while since I’ve warmed up!]

    Peer’s clone’s eyes flashed.

    [I will prepare all troops of the Legion to sortie at any time!]

    Simon nodded and stood up.

    After a long time the time has come to work as a corps commander ‘Pion’.
