Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner – 503



Episode 503

The battle with the immortal army is over.

Following the Ganeth Guild even the Tarados regular army joined Simon’s side. Each soldier swung his weapon to prevent the undead regenerating in front of him from rising again.

And Simon who is the only one who can destroy them passes by and finishes with the Great Sword of Destruction. There were no more undead soldiers coming back to life.

“Encamp here!”

“Move quickly before night falls!”

It was getting dark. The nights in Tarados were notoriously cold so under Simon’s mediation the two forces camped together.

In the meantime Cerne seemed to want to engage in a fight with the regular soldiers led by Lorraine with his group of thieves but Simon stopped him.

Taaang! Taaang!

While the girls sat and rested Kazan held a nail in his mouth and skillfully hammered it. A large military tent was quickly being built.

‘It’s harder than it looks.’

Simon was also helping Kazan.

All that was needed was to wrap the rope connected to the tent around an iron stake and secure it but there was more to worry about than meets the eye. The tent had to be pulled in a balanced manner and it was necessary to avoid sandy areas and find solid ground.

“how have you been doing? Simon.”

At that time a black-haired girl approached Simon.

“Ah Lorraine!”

“Want me to help you?”

“No no I can do it by myself.”

She nodded and squatted down next to Simon to watch.

For some reason I felt nervous because there was someone watching next to me. Simon’s hammering also became more careful.

land- land-

“I was surprised.”

Simon said hammering away.

“The reason you showed up with the lord soldiers and the reason Serne brought the Ganeth guild.”

Lorraine grinned.

“A lot happened.”

She said that this mission evaluation also came to stop Sernet’s plot.

When she found out that Cerne was going to Tarados Simon’s destination she asked the school to prepare an additional teleportation magic circle heading to Tarados.

However the day before the mission evaluation contact with the minion dispatched to Tarados was suddenly cut off.

Lorraine realized the seriousness of the situation and crossed over to Tarados before Simon.

Waiting for her were soldiers sent by ‘Steel’. They even tried to catch Lorraine after seeing her Kizen uniform.

“That’s why there was no teleportation magic circle to Tarados.”

“that’s right.”

“It’s jingling~ Really.”

Cernet was walking towards the two with his arms crossed.

“How could you think of following me to a place like this?”

In order to avoid Lorraine’s pursuit Cerne received a request from another area and then crossed over to Tarados using the Ivory Tower’s teleportation magic circle.

Lorraine raised her eyes.

“Of course I have to follow. It won’t work out the way your ivory tower wants.”

Sernet laughed as he faced the flashing red eyes.

“At school he behaved calmly like a beast with his arms and legs tied. As soon as you go outside your true colors are revealed?”

She was pointing to the lock necklace Lorraine wore around her neck.

The lock was open.

“therefore-”

Lorraine scolded coldly filled with death.

“Think carefully about everything before you act. If you act even slightly suspiciously I will strike you first.”

“Oh my~ I’m so scared.”

“Stop fighting.”

At that time Kazan holding a hammer suddenly popped out from behind the military tent.

“I can’t just hang out here forever. I want to make specific plans for the future.”

* * *

Kazan immediately called the witnesses to this tent.

The coachman who played his role as a guide and Sarah the client’s younger sister.

General Amin leads the Tarados regular army.

Even Karak the bandit leader who leads the Ganeth Guild and claims to be Cerne’s right-hand man.

“This is Amin.”

General Amin began the briefing as a representative.

“This is the entrance to the secret base of ‘The Order’ where we are currently encamped. All prisoners captured throughout Tarados are sent here.”

Simon adjusted his posture and sat down.

“……What happens after you are sent to the secret base?”

“I only saw the ‘door’ open from afar but I don’t know what happens to those who are dragged in.”

“hey. That’s okay~”

Cernet brushed her hair below her ear.

“Tell me how I can get into that secret base or something.”

Because he gave off an atmosphere that was completely untouchable even General Amin treated him with courtesy.

“yes. First of all the time to enter the secret base is estimated to be midnight. All prisoners are transported at night and arrive at this site at midnight. There was never a time difference and sometimes when there were too many prisoners they were sent back and taken in at midnight the next day.”

This is what I heard from Lorraine earlier.

That’s why we camped out at the ruins and held out until midnight.

“Then how do you open the door at midnight?”

When Kazan asked Amin took out a key from his pocket and showed it to him.

“This is the key taken from the lord. If you insert this key at the moment a space distortion occurs in the ruins at midnight you will be able to open the door to the secret base.”

“Oh that key! Our boss was holding it too.”

This time the bandit leader Karak raised his hand and spoke. Then he looked at Sernet and quickly corrected his words.

“Of course it’s just the old boss! Even though we serve our queen now!”

“Oh what a loyal man you are.”

Cerne laughed loudly. Lorraine’s eyes turned to her.

“What did you do with the black wolf Ganeth?”

“How did you do it~”

Cernet shrugged his shoulders.

“He dared point a weapon at me and because he had poor mental control he made a mess out of anger. He was covered in blood and was running away in tears. I think he would be dead by now.”

“As expected queen! The only person on the continent who can overwhelm Captain Ganeth like that is our queen!”

Simon who was listening to the story burst out laughing. I wondered how he got hold of the Garness Guild but he just suppressed it with force.

“Then how did you bring the permanent soldier?”

This time Cerne asked Lorraine. She answered with a sigh.

“Finding you and Simon was the priority but the situation in Tarados was so serious that we couldn’t just ignore it. While I’m on my way to get an explanation from the lord I’ll do my best.”

also.

As she was the successor to Nephthys she also felt a great sense of responsibility for the Tarados incident.

“The lord was arrested and locked in a dungeon.”

In fact even among the soldiers of Tarados the lord’s reputation was the worst. It was natural that the soldiers were made to act as villains but their salaries continued to be delayed under various excuses.

Amin’s popularity is much higher than that of the lord. Upon hearing the news that the lord was imprisoned and that Amin had staged a coup most of the soldiers took Amin’s side.

All of the regular soldiers brought in were soldiers loyal to Amin not the lord.

“Let’s get back to the point. This is a rough map of the inside of the secret base in the lord’s vault.”

Amin put the map down on the table. Kazan tilted his head and looked at it.

“This is too confidential information for an outsider to possess.”

“The lord entered the society as a member. He must have been an important figure to the organization as he provided enormous manpower.”

Simon clapped his hands.

“great. Then I will rest until midnight and when the time comes I will open the door to the space with the key and enter.”

Simon turned his head and saw Lisa with a nervous expression.

“Don’t worry Lisa. I will definitely rescue you.”

“huh!”

She nodded. At the same time the necklace around Simon’s neck shook.

[Wait a minute! You must not have forgotten your priorities! My body comes first!]

‘okay. knife.’

Simon looked around at the other students.

“You’ll all help right?”

Kazan nodded.

“This has already been discussed. I am your bodyguard and I have agreed to cooperate no matter what.”

Lorraine also helped.

“As a Kizen I can’t pretend not to have seen the tragedy of Tarados. I will do my best to help you.”

Cernet said with a smile.

“I don’t like it~”

‘huh?’

Then he opened his palm and showed it.

“Wouldn’t it be nice if I got a fair price for it?”

“……You.”

Sernet is not only a powerful being in and of himself but also a person who does not need to hide his strength as a corps commander. Her help is essential.

Simon took a long sigh and raised his head.

“What do you want?”

“As always you must stamp the coupon.”

Cernet narrowed his eyes and spread three fingers.

“About three chapters this time?”

“…….”

To be honest I tried not to pay attention to her using coupons at first but she kept appealing to me like that so I couldn’t help but pay attention.

If you collect all 10 cards what on earth do you wish for and do something like that? I even felt a little scared.

“Three chapters is too much. Make it one piece.”

“Three sheets.”

“One piece.”

“Three sheets.”

“One piece.”

Differences of opinion are rarely resolved.

At that time Cerne narrowed her eyes cutely and grabbed Simon’s arm.

“How about three photos including an intimate date with me?”

“Big! My queen…!”

Karak the bandit leader glared at Simon with eyes burning with jealousy.

Either way Simon continued negotiations.

“Then wouldn’t it be right to cut it down instead?”

“Wow that’s too much!”

“Then two pages including the time you give.”

“Yes I like it!”

Cernet finally seemed to be satisfied and stretched out his hand and Simon took it and shook his hand.

* * *

As time passed the surroundings became dark.

Cernet who has a My Way temperament calmly covered himself with a blanket and closed his eyes while Kazan analyzed the map of the secret base in detail.

And Lorraine stepped forward to prepare dinner.

“I’ll make something simple. I thought it would be a good idea to eat something before a big battle.”

As she got up with the bucket Simon followed suit.

“Oh I’ll help you too.”

As the day grew dark the two walked together to tap the underground water that was said to flow near the ruins.

There were no cooking facilities so each person had to prepare their own food. Fortunately there was a cooking set in the sub-space so I planned to make a simple vegetable soup.

“…….”

Simon walked with an empty bucket and glanced at Lorraine.

Her steps are light today. Sometimes I walk slightly like I’m running.

A somewhat relaxed expression.

It was definitely different from what it was like at school.

“Where do you keep looking?”

Lorraine asked playfully. Simon flinched and quickly turned his head.

“No that……”

“Do you care about this?”

She waved her lock necklace. Simon nodded slightly.

Actually I wanted to keep asking but Lorraine’s expression has always been dark lately and she was holding back on saying it because it might be a family issue with Nephthys.

“My mom said this during vacation.”

Lorraine straightened her locks. Her long eyelashes drooped.

“During your first year at Keygen how much did you grow compared to Simon and other classmates? do.”

“…….”

“I didn’t have anything to say.”

Lorraine is already a complete necromancer in her own right.

Her red ability which acts on summoned bodies becomes strong enough to defeat 10 skeletons alone when given to a skeleton and when given to a skeleton horse it becomes faster than any other skeleton horse in the world.

However as the supernatural ability was strong dependence on it was a problem.

Simon scratched his head as if embarrassed.

“……Are you comparing me to me? I feel a bit sorry for some reason.”

“What is there to be sorry about? And the second example my mom gave was Pantasus senior. He also became the strongest in Keygen by honing in on just one curse without any special abilities. Listening to those examples I really feel like I haven’t grown much compared to when I was in first grade. I had that thought.”

Simon nodded silently and listened to her story.

“It was also true that I had no motivation to study in the first year.”

The night wind blew and her black hair fluttered.

“Because nothing I learned at school was stronger than my abilities. Rather than learning I tried to get involved in the management of the school and prove to adults my abilities as a manager. But as a student something important was missing.”

We soon arrived at a place where underground water flows. She puts the bucket down in the hole and it fills with water little by little.

The two sat down and waited.

“So there are restrictions.”

She brought her legs together and pulled them up to her chest.

“Do not interfere with school operations until graduation. It’s mom’s order.”

“……That’s why you couldn’t stand at the forefront and stop the 3rd graders from hazing.”

“huh. Because I don’t have any authority. And secondly -”

She locked the lock on the end of the necklace and put a jet black mark on her palm.

There was no trace of red at all and it was pure black like her hair.

“Seal your supernatural abilities on campus.”

“…….”

“All future classes exams and performance evaluations must be resolved using the necromancer’s natural power without any special abilities. The only time I can use this ability is when I have to fight in the name of the Archbold family or when it is my mission to stop Cerne.”

Simon opened his mouth.

“It’s not a problem for me to say but isn’t it a bit too restrictive? Until now you have been using black magic by mixing jet darkness with supernatural powers. If you suddenly block it…”

“Yes that’s right. In Keygen I may have become a below-average necromancer.”

She folded her dark palms and clenched her fists.

“After spending a day or two like that Simon.”

Then he looked at Simon and smiled.

“I started to respect you.”

Simon pointed at himself with a puzzled expression.

“me?”
