    Episode 493

    The next evening.

    Summoning Department Dormitory.

    Second-year Summoning students were crowded into the lobby making noise.

    In front of the students there were finally two bulletin boards installed with the mission evaluation request form they had been waiting for.

    “wait for a sec.”

    Simon also left the crowd and stood in front of the bulletin board. When Toto was struggling among the crowd I held his hand and pulled him out.

    “Thank you Simon!”

    Simon smiled lightly then turned serious again and looked at the bulletin board.

    ‘It’s just as Professor Aaron said.’

    The easiest white request form disappeared.

    The majority were blue requests and red requests heading to the neutral zone were also frequently seen.

    And what catches the students’ attention is the ‘black request form’ which has only a few pages and is the most difficult.

    It was a mission to the Holy Federation.

    Murmurs can be heard everywhere.

    “……Black is really on a different level. There is also a request for assassination.”

    “Spy mission? They say I have to pretend to be a resident of the Holy Federation and infiltrate?

    “Necromancers are always caught.”

    “The Heretic Questioner’s execution ending is confirmed.”

    Simon laughed quietly as he heard that story.

    Intelligence mission within the Holy Federation. I was confident that it would be left to me but there was one more important thing to do right now.

    “Large-scale cleaning of Tarados is necessary.”

    I will go to Tarados.

    There we will track down the group that kidnapped ‘Kal’ and if there is a stronghold destroy it and get him back.

    In order to collect all of his father’s Ancient Undead and to face his archenemy Magnus he had to somehow find the remaining half of the sword.

    ‘I wish there was a request from Tarados.’

    Simon carefully looked at the bulletin board.

    The names of various fiefdoms including Langerstine Arnish Farona and Hove were passed around but the place name Tarados was not seen. Perhaps because it was in such a remote location there were no requests.

    “Simon! I decided on this!”

    Toto said pulling out a blue request form.

    “Subdue the monster colony!”

    “Oh you chose something difficult.”

    There are some easy missions such as guarding the main character or guarding the top but subjugating a colony was the first mission that was quite difficult.

    “Would you like to join us?”

    Toto asked his eyes shining.

    “sorry. I have already decided on the mission I want to do.”

    “No no. Well there’s nothing I can do about it!”

    Toto went to persuade Fitzgerald and Simon took his position again and seriously looked over the request.

    ‘Is it really not there?’

    It seemed like I had skimmed through the front part and now I was persistently looking through the request form which was hidden behind the request form and was hard to see.

    ‘ah!’

    I finally found it.

    Among the many requests there was only one.

    Registration request: Separation of corpses

    Request grade: F

    Request reward: 5 gold

    Request Location: Tarados Territory Dresden Kingdom

    Details: Monster corpse separation work and service provision

    Special information: 1168798164

    ‘What is this?’

    A typical ‘eating raw’ request commonly spoken among students.

    It meant a request that required only simple labor without any risk.

    However such requests were usually found only in white request forms and it was extremely rare for a blue request form to be given an F grade.

    ‘Separate the bodies.’

    Simon ripped the request form from the bulletin board and looked at it closely.

    Among these numerous requests this is the only Tarados request.

    More than anything I’m concerned about ‘special details’.

    「Special information: 1168798164」

    “Simon Pollentia.”

    While I was concentrating on the request my name was suddenly called from next to me.

    I looked up and saw Hector towering like a mountain hill standing with his arms crossed.

    “Hector?”

    “Get rid of that guy before your seniors catch you.”

    He pointed behind him with a sour expression. Simon also looked back and was surprised.

    ‘Kazan!’

    Kazan a member of the Matu Department was wandering into the dormitory. Some students were already excited when they found out that students from other departments had joined.

    Students from other departments entering the dormitory were not prohibited by school rules but this was a taboo among students.

    ‘I asked Kazan for some work but I never thought he would come to the dormitory in person!’

    Before anything happened Simon quickly walked towards Kazan.

    “who is this!”

    One step too late.

    A 3rd grader who was heading to the common kitchen heard the 2nd graders’ murmuring and screamed.

    “Matu Department? What kind of bastard has no sense…!”

    “It’s been a while. Daniel.”

    Informal language that pops out all of a sudden.

    Kazan was saying this while scratching the wound on his right eye. He had a second-year red mark on his collar but the third-year student had a flinching look on his face.

    “Ka ka kajan? Was it you?”

    “How are you? We were in the same class in first grade.”

    Kazan came striding towards me with his hands in his pockets.

    The second graders who were watching looked puzzled. The sky-like third-year senior was trembling with fear when he saw the second-year student.

    Kazan Edwald Kizen’s only paid student.

    Due to his undefeated record in duel evaluations his ruthless personality and the violence he suffered during his freshman year he is a taboo subject to mention among current third-year jockeys.

    Above all to some students who were in the same class at the time.

    “Do you have something to say? Daniel.”

    It was an object of fear.

    Hearing Kazan’s gloomy voice the third grader replied in a quiet voice ‘Oh it’s nothing!’ and left the lobby as if running away.

    “hmm.”

    Kazan scratched the wound over his eye.

    “Kazan!”

    At that time Simon quickly came over and grabbed his shoulder.

    “There are a lot of eyes watching so go outside and talk.”

    “I get it.”

    * * *

    The two came out of the dormitory.

    As soon as Kazan came out he handed several requests to Simon.

    “As you requested I have selected requests from nearby areas that can lead to Tarados Territory.”

    “Luckily I don’t think there’s a need to go around.”

    Simon grinned and showed the Tarados Territory request form.

    “There was only one posted on the Summoning Department bulletin board.”

    Kazan tilted his head.

    “Surprisingly. I heard that Tarados was a closed and poor territory. I didn’t think I would have the funds to entrust Keygen with the request.”

    In addition to the amount paid to students as a reward the request also incurs a huge registration fee. Even if you are a student you can entrust your work to Keygen.

    “But look here. There are strange letters written in the special information.”

    “1168798164.”

    Kazan picked up the request with his index finger then lifted it above his head and looked up at the request.

    “It’s a password.”

    “yes?”

    Kazan put the request in his arms without hesitation.

    “I will decode it and come back by tomorrow.”

    Simon smiled bitterly.

    “You can take your time since you are leaving on the weekend.”

    “I will do it by tomorrow.”

    Is it an illusion? Kazan seemed to be happy perhaps because he found a code to decipher.

    At that time when the two people were talking about each other.

    “…….”

    There was a student hiding behind a wall and eavesdropping.

    * * *

    “Uhm so that’s right?”

    A firewood storage area behind the quiet Summoning Department dormitory.

    There Cerne was sitting with her legs crossed reigning like a queen.

    Her slightly damp ivory hair was tied up with a string as if she had just come out of the wash. And what she was sitting on was not a chair but a person lying face down on the floor.

    ‘I’m scared!’

    The clique student who came to report to Sernet trembled in fear.

    A male student lying on the floor had a feather stuck to his back and a note written on his face that said ‘I will never be rude to you again.’

    “Simon and Kazan are planning to go to Tarados during the mission evaluation period this weekend~”

    Her tongue flickered.

    “I’m not sure why you want to go to such a shabby place but it might be an opportunity to get Simon in debt and get a coupon stamp.”

    “coupon?”

    The student who reported raised his head.

    “What do you mean? Sernet.”

    “Oh there is something like that.”

    Cerne grinned.

    “And did I allow you to ask questions?”

    Phew!

    A feather stuck in the back of the clique student. His eyes became glassy and he made a ‘whoosh’ sound scratched his chin and looked around.

    “I don’t know why you have such reckless curiosity towards me.”

    She took a sip of wine amused by her classmate’s antics.

    The dangerous look in his eyes was bright.

    * * *

    Dark basement.

    A woman with a shadow on her face was walking.

    Even when the light shined directly on her her face was not visible. In fact even the people here had never seen her bare face.

    The men waiting around lowered their heads.

    “Are you here? Nirti.”

    “huh.”

    She raised her hand in greeting.

    “You came back quickly from Langerstine.”

    “Because the experiment is the most urgent. What about today’s test subjects?”

    “20 people secured. Some are in good condition.”

    “good.”

    Skinny people dressed in white hospital gowns presumed to be the test subjects were walking with their hands tied.

    All of them had unfocused eyes and no will to live. I was taking each step with difficulty.

    “Get ready quickly. In order to comply with the elder’s instructions the experiment date needs to be brought forward.”

    “yes!”

    They dragged away people wearing hospital gowns.

    The woman with a shadow on her face turned her head and looked at what was in the coffin in the dark.

    Grumble-

    A green mushy creature was writhing inside the coffin.

    The woman placed her palm on the glass tube and looked at it as if fascinated with a smile of utmost satisfaction on her lips.

    “We’re glad you fell into our hands Ancient Undead. I won’t let your pain be in vain.”

    Gurgling!

    It moved as if it were angry but was trapped in the coffin and couldn’t do anything.

    “Nirti!”

    This time heavily armed soldiers rushed in front of her.

    “What else?”

    “We have captured an important member of the Tarados Revolutionary Group!”

    The soldiers kneeled in front of her a young man who showed signs of rough torture everywhere.

    However the revolutionary members were smiling and the soldiers were looking embarrassed.

    “what’s the matter?”

    Nirti asked reading the mood.

    “I’m sorry. All routes to the outside were blocked but I guess they turned to Keygen for some reason.”

    Perhaps that was why the revolutionary member was smiling even as he was bleeding.

    “To Keygen?”

    Nirti’s reaction was surprising.

    “Why did a wealthy person who can move Keygen join these beggars?”

    “That’s it. It’s not a formal request. Isn’t that there? The person who entrusts missions to Keygen students…”

    “Students?”

    Hahahahaha!

    Nirti burst out laughing without even listening to everything he said.

    “What is it? Just a student?”

    She came over and grabbed the revolutionary member by the hair.

    “This is absurd. Did you think you could liberate Tarados just by playing a game for students when the crows couldn’t even come?”

    “Pfft!”

    “I swear. Until this experiment is completed you people of Tarados will not leave a single person alive and will use them as test subjects.”

    She said with bloodshot eyes. An indescribable feeling of anger and hatred flickered in both pupils.

    “Light will never come to Tarados.”

    Pow!

    She threw away the revolutionary and then turned her head.

    “Prepare your troops just in case. And anyway the students’ mission is to go sightseeing? When they come we only give them satisfactory results and send them back to prevent them from coming to our side.”

    “yes!”

    Her eyes sparkled.

    “Yes no one can stop my plan.”

    * * *

    “Uhm.”

    Simon who was talking with Kazan outside the dormitory suddenly squinted one eye and picked his ear.

    “Why but Simon?”

    “Oh no.”

    Simon lowered his hand and smiled awkwardly.

    “I just suddenly got itchy ears.”
