Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 494



Episode 494

Finally the day in question. The summons material science performance evaluation has begun.

The performance evaluation location was a place called ‘Plant Hall’ inside the Keygen Campus.

“Is everyone ready?”

A man wearing sunglasses with his upper body muscles exposed. Professor Grerion spoke loudly. The students responded with an energetic ‘Yes!’

“I will turn on the timer from now on. Get started!”

The students turned on their eyes and scattered in all directions.

Keygen’s ‘Plant Museum’ was a huge space built with steel and vinyl and contained vegetation from all over the continent.

With Grerion’s permission students were able to collect two species of plants from here and combine them to create their own chimera.

The key to this performance evaluation was how to create a chimera that demonstrates strong synergy.

“It’s extremely hot in here.”

Toto said wiping the sweat from his forehead. Simon had already taken off his school uniform jacket wrapped it around his waist and was looking through the plants.

“Toto have you decided what to join?”

“huh! I expected this to be a performance evaluation and pulled out a few lists!”

Toto was flapping his notebook around but Simon covered his ears.

“Toto cover your ears.”

“huh?”

“Someone picked Mandragora.”

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

A plant that screams when pulled. Mandragora was very famous.

Students who heard the screams were seen quickly covering their ears.

Only after the student who collected the mandragora quickly placed it in a black plastic bag and poured dirt into it until the body was completely submerged did the mandragora become quiet.

Toto lowered his hands covering his ears and muttered.

“……Definitely the person who transforms Mandragora into a chimera and turns its scream into a song will get an A+.”

“Oh that’s a really good idea.”

Toto immediately found the plants he wanted and left the botanical garden while Simon went a little deeper.

[Extremely dangerous.]

[There is a risk of being eaten.]

Before we knew it we had arrived at a place where there were bug-killing plants and related plant-type monsters.

If you go further inside there are strange things that chew up whole monsters but even with Grerion’s authority they couldn’t get there.

There is not much time given. Simon hurriedly looked around the bug-killing plants in the botanical garden.

“Found it!”

A bug-killing plant dripping poison from its mouth. Both the color and appearance were just as they appeared in the encyclopedia.

Simon pulled it out by the roots and carefully placed it in a collection bag. I also packed a few other plants just in case.

‘Okay next.’

The next place we headed to was the plant museum where plants that live in cold regions are grown.

Cold air was coming out of the magic circle on the ceiling and the further you went the more snow you could see and there was even a strange entity rooted on the ice.

Breath came out. Simon untied the jacket he had tied around his waist put it on his body and buttoned it.

‘good. ‘Let’s do our best and find it!’

* * *

After an hour Simon was able to secure all the harvest without difficulty and escape from the plant center.

There was a work table set up outdoors outside the botanical hall.

This is where chimera splicing takes place and the students who came first were seen making plant chimeras using all the knowledge they had learned in class so far.

Simon also looked around looking for an empty seat.

‘Oh it’s Lorraine.’

Lorraine’s table was filled with cute plants which were somehow her personal taste.

When she saw Simon passing by she stammered and said that she would make a chimera that would become the ingredients for perfume. Although I never asked Simon quietly shouted ‘Going!’

And Hector next to him was not in a fuss.

He had collected a plant-type monster that looked like a vine and it was engaged in a bloody struggle with the ingredients on the table. The vine monster wrapped Hector in vines and Hector was grabbed and torn apart with its might.

Simon pretended not to see and quietly slipped aside.

‘I found an empty seat!’

Simon finally settled down at the table and carefully laid down the ingredients he had collected from the botanical garden one by one.

I washed my hands thoroughly set up the tools and ripped off the magic tape.

Perhaps it was because I had memorized the botanical book so well that an idea came to mind as soon as I heard Grerion’s performance evaluation task.

‘For now let’s make just two types.’

* * *

“Performance evaluation is over.”

Grerion stopped the timer in his hand and looked at the students and said.

“Everyone hands above head. Students who touch the table even slightly get an F.”

“Students! I’ll just take three steps away from the table.”

The students withdrew licking their lips with regret. There was also a student who was stopped by teaching assistants as he let the darkness pass perhaps because he still had regrets even after time had passed.

“Then I will introduce a special artifact to be used in this chimera evaluation.”

Grerion said. Four teaching assistants were coming from behind whining and carrying a large flower pot.

“This is ‘Roina’s Flower Pot’ brought with permission from Nephthys. As we all know it is difficult to achieve 100% performance with a plant chimera that has just been spliced ​​together. Because it’s a plant it takes time. However if you plant a plant in this pot you can see in advance what the plant will look like six months later.”

Students were clamoring for the new evaluation method.

“I will show you the evaluation method without any hesitation. Please come out one by one from the front row.”

Students in the front row lined up carefully holding potted chimera plants.

“report.”

The male student who came out first opened his mouth.

“This is Matt Comer! What I combined is Linset which has a high sugar content and delicious fruit and Plant-type Monster Fleece.”

“Why did you combine the two?”

“Linset is a sweet and fragrant fruit but it has the characteristic of only growing at a time. Fleece is a plant-type monster that grows numerous tree fruits! By combining the two I wanted to grow a lot of expensive linset fruits.”

The male student showed a confident attitude by listing examples of successful improvements to similar plant-type monsters and plants.

“Is it breed improvement caused by chimera? You will know when you see the results. Plant it in Royna’s flower pot.”

“yes!”

When the male student picked up the chimera plant and planted it in ‘Roina’s flower pot’ a moment later an illusion of the same plant appeared next to it.

“……ah.”

however.

The fantastic plant chimera was drooping black and rotten.

“This is what happens when you combine plants that don’t match each other. They only killed those who were living well for no reason. The evaluation score is ‘F’.”

The students looked at each other with frightened expressions as they watched Grerion mercilessly beat up F.

“next!”

In fact when Grerion announced the performance evaluation last week there was a small debate among the students about how to evaluate the plant chimera.

It was natural that the plant-type chimera that had just been created which was neither a monster nor an undead had difficulty functioning properly.

There was an opinion that they would keep the pots whole for several months and then see the reaction and there was also an opinion that since it was a battle of ideas you had to get a high grade with a plausible combination even if it was a bit unrealistic.

The students who chose the impact and unconventionality of the presentation over the stability of the chimera were all exposed to the shape of a dead plant and received an F.

“It’s alive. C.”

Even if you survive after 6 months the minimum rating is ‘C’.

Grerion highly evaluated the Chimera’s survival. Surviving for several months in nature was proof of the chimera’s level of understanding and perfection.

And then Hector’s turn in question came.

“Poetry Vine is less aggressive because it only senses its prey through touch but by adding plants that can sense temperature in addition to touch we made it a more aggressive monster.”

However it was too aggressive. The vines were flying in all directions and ended up entangling Toto’s legs which were unlucky enough to get caught and dragged him away.

The presenter Hector stood still with his body covered in dragon scales perhaps out of desperation whether the vines wrapped around him or not.

“It’s a chimera that can be used well in the field.”

When Hector placed it in Loina’s flower pot Grerion was satisfied with the vision of a larger Chimera six months later.

“A+. Hector Moore.”

“thank you!”

Grerion is also a field necromancer.

If the stability condition of not dying after six months was met students who chose the more unconventional and combative chimera were highly evaluated.

After a while Simon’s turn finally came.

Unlike the large and unconventional plant-type monsters chosen by other students Simon’s was a rather small and dwarf bug-catching plant.

Grerion nodded.

“report.”

“This is Simon Pollentia. A combination of a plant-type monster called ‘Phobea’ and a red lotus root with tubers.”

Simon calmly continued his explanation.

According to what I saw in the plant encyclopedia Phobea grows on ‘Bee Island’ and has evolved to eat countless insect-type monsters called ‘Killer Bees’.

Killer Bee is a wasp monster so major that ‘Queen Bee Meridiana’ ranked 6th in ranking even uses it as its main weapon.

It has a variety of powerful poisons and Phobea swallows it in one bite then combines the poison with ingredients from its own body converts it into a substance that does not harm itself and releases it through the roots.

“The antidote is the goal.”

Grerion touched his chin.

“But I have never seen a poison magician who uses fovea as an antidote.”

“Yes at most the detoxified ingredients are thrown into the ground through the stem. So we replaced this root with a tuber plant so that the detoxifying substances are accumulated in the stem instead of being released into the surrounding ground. If you cut the stem and eat it you can expect a detoxifying effect.”

“You’ll see.”

Grerion immediately planted Simon’s Phobea in Loina’s flower pot.

After a while Simon’s Phobea showed that it had grown properly as an illusion. The stems were also strong.

There was no way to know from fantasy whether this tuber really had a detoxifying effect but it was meaningful that it worked as Simon had intended and that he survived.

“Good job. The evaluation score is A. Simon Pollentia.”

“thank you!”

I was worried because I couldn’t prove the detoxification effect but Simon was very satisfied. Soon Grerion called the next student and Simon returned to his seat.

“great job.”

Likewise said Fitzgerald who along with Hector was the only one to receive an A+. He had been a necromancer specializing in chimeras since his first year so he was the student with the greatest strength in this subject.

“Thanks Fitzgerald.”

“Let me give you a personal opinion.”

Fitzgerald pointed to a large bug-killing plant on Simon’s table.

“If I had written something that had more impact than Povea I wouldn’t have thought I could have aimed for an A+.”

“It was my choice so I have no regrets.”

Simon grinned.

“When splicing with Chimera the sense of Fovea was much better.”

“okay?”

“Yes it stuck neatly without any resistance.”

Anyway the students who completed the evaluation were free.

We went near ‘Roina’s Flower Pot’ to look at other students’ chimeras or sat down to rest and chat. Some students even used their spare time to create another chimera for fun.

Simon was cleaning up the messy table.

“The Summoning Department class looks interesting.”

Simon looked back in surprise. A gray-haired male student wearing bandages was walking toward the outside training center.

“Kazan!”

Kazan smiled tiredly and scratched the wound over his eye.

“Matuhak ran around all over Rock Island wearing a curse bracelet all day. They say performance evaluation is like crossing a desert.”

“……Ahaha. Professor Hongpeng values ​​physical strength the most.”

Kazan looked around and pointed to the side. Simon nodded and followed him quietly.

A bench behind a deserted building.

Kazan took out the request form he had brought with him and showed it.

Registration request: Separation of corpses

Request grade: F

Request reward: 5 gold

Request Location: Tarados Territory Dresden Kingdom

Details: Separation of monster corpses and provision of services

Special information: 1168798164

“The problem was the peculiarity here. It was the password as expected.”

Kazan’s mouth opened.

“In Tarados they used a language called ‘Ruki’ which has now been lost to continental languages. It appears to be the native language of the Tarados natives.”

Kazan took out the rookie word list.

“Here I combined this number with the first word of the number that appears in the rookie word list.”

“I’ll give it a try.”

Simon checked by looking at the request form and the rookie word list in turn.

“Two numbers and one word right?”

“okay.”

“count. ryo. main. yo. this. fat. What does this mean…”

At that moment Simon felt goosebumps growing all over his body.

“Please save me.”

“okay.”

Kazan nodded with a serious expression.

“Something crazy seems to be going on in Tarados.”
