Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner - Chapter 244

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 244

There was a dead silence in the ballroom.

The nobles could not shut their mouths in shock.

As if drunk and drugged this man with gray eyes and a scruffy face as if he hadn’t washed for several days drenched in rain and becoming a beggar is really the third prince of the royal family Andre.

“Cha-am~ Fate is harsh isn’t it?”

A twisted tongue flowed from Andre’s mouth.

“Someone was kicked out of Kizen and the succession to the throne was completely overlooked.”

Andre’s dead eyes turned to Simon.

“Who’s like this! Take off your nice clothes! Put on a pretty girl on each side! They’re enjoying themselves!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

The sound of self-deprecating laughter filled the ballroom.

Every time his body swayed raindrops dripped onto the red carpet.

“Cha-am~ It’s shameless! The bastard who dropped my life into hell crawled all the way here!”

“Brother!”

Princess Molly ran in with a confused expression.

“I clearly told you not to come in…!”

“Shut up!”

When Andre shouted hysterically even Princess Molly flinched and stopped.

“Do you think I’m still afraid of you! I’ve got nothing to lose now! What should I be afraid of when my life has already hit rock bottom! Heh heh heh! Ha ha ha ha!”

Male voice male voice.

The nobles started whispering in an unusual situation. Andre was also a member of the royal family the protagonist of this ball so no one could disobey him tonight.

Andre’s gaze was directed straight at Simon.

“…”

Simon who caught his gaze also rose from his seat.

“Simon.”

Lorraine rose after him and blocked his way.

“You don’t have to deal with an insane person.”

“Thanks for your concern. But this is my job.”

Since he had been entangled with Andre in Kizen the current encounter was probably inevitable.

Stepping into the mud on his own Simon swallowed a deep sigh and bowed according to the manner.

“Meet the prince.”

Andre shrugged and laughed. His boots made a squeak when he stepped on the carpet.

“Shameless bastard! Such a shameless bastard! It’s all because of you!

The ‘common sense’ he meant here meant that when Malcolm whom he had pushed for put on the armor of the Black Knight Simon had to lose in the duel evaluation out of respect for the royal family.

Simon raised his head.

“As I swore at the entrance ceremony I just did my best in everything.”

Without hesitation Simon said what he wanted to say.

“Catching the weak points of equal keyzen students and treating them like servants intimidating students with Noble’s power and monopolizing the club’s budget and using it privately were all actions done by the prince.”

The risk for that action just returned. Simon said so.

“X-Ral!”

Andre whose face was flushed from alcohol pointed with his finger.

“Do you know why customs are customs? When past examples harden into culture that’s custom! Am I the only one who made a mistake? Using the club’s power! Using budget money! Everyone else is doing it and only those who don’t become idiots. It’s real!”

His voice grew stronger.

“So I did and then I got lucky! In the first place if you gave up the duel evaluation as usual the moment you saw the R-shaped symbol of our royal family this would not have happened! You broke the convention and everything went wrong! Some madman Beating up someone wearing the royal black knight armor?”

“It’s such a custom.”

Simon closed his eyes.

“It’s none of my business.”

Male voice male voice.

When it came out quite strongly the nobles made a surprised expression.

“And let me correct the wording. It’s not customary. It’s a vice.”

“This bastard…!”

When Andre became enraged and tried to attack Simon the royal elite knights the Dark Knights immediately grabbed Andre’s arms.

“Prince.”

“Let go!”

Andre pushed them away with a violent arm movement.

“Yeah fine. If you’re so proud to ignore me!”

Andrew strode in the other direction not in Simon’s direction.

“I’ll smash you with that very custom!”

The surrounding crowd retreated to the surroundings like the sea parting.

“Ah~ It’s unfolding for the worst.”

Serene muttered.

The place Andrew was headed was the execution platform. Andre climbed onto the scaffold adorned with all sorts of vines and waved the bell.

“I am Andre Dresden of royal blood! Simon Pollentia!”

His finger pointed at Simon.

“I challenge you to a duel!”

* * *

Shoot Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The raindrops were thicker than before.

A large open space in front of the banquet hall. Banquet guests gathered with umbrellas. In the center of that spacious clearing two boys faced each other in the rain.

“Simon it’s not too late.”

Lorraine was stopping Simon. Even her dark hair was wet with her water.

“No matter how you look you’re a second year Kizen who has gone through all the hardships. This match is too reckless.”

Serene also nodded.

“I agree with you. It’s not a big deal for a sophomore to be your opponent~”

After a long time the two agreed.

There is even a saying that one second-year student is worth ten first-year students. The students who endured the hellish competition and stress and became sophomores were outstanding.

A battle between adults and babies. It was absurd that the match between the two was concluded.

“Of course it should be a handicap match.”

Andre said with a smirk.

Andre himself the man who requested the duel was well aware that it was a match that made no sense.

‘This is a duel to restore my honor.’

Andre also wanted an honorable victory.

After winning the duel he couldn’t stand the false accusation of being a loser who pettyly bullied his former juniors.

“Just say anything. Shall we fight with the black magic learned only in the 1st year?

So if you put a handicap on it and make the match look even a little fair your honor when you win will increase.

But Simon shook his head.

“I don’t need a handicap like that.”

“then.”

Then Lorraine stepped forward.

Students are Kizen’s assets and Kizen had an obligation to protect them from outside pressure.

“I’ll do my best to help you personally.”

Andre made an impression.

‘As expected Kizen bastards. I knew it would come out like this.’

This side has to give a handicap to make the royal family show mercy but it was disgusting to try to give a plus instead of a handicap again.

“Yes that’s good too. But there are conditions!”

Andre spread his arms.

“If Simon loses even with your help you should kneel under my field and bow your head.

It was a provocation that had no nutritional value spit out because there was no way it would be accepted.

but.

“yes.”

Lorraine nodded lightly. Rather Andre and the nobles who were watching were embarrassed and so was Simon.

“Lo Lorraine!”

“You can win.”

she said as if it didn’t matter. Simon scratched the side of her head.

“Yeah but it is.”

“That’s all right.”

Andre let out a sullen laugh.

“But would it be enough to help out? A battle between the 2nd and 1st years…”

“Then me too~”

As if Serene had been waiting it jumped out and clung to Simon’s right arm.

“I’ll give Simon a hand. In return if Simon loses heir to the Ivory Tower’s knee. Isn’t that fine?”

“Serne!”

Simon wondered why these two were like this.

‘hmm.’

Andre who scanned Cerne and Lorraine with a sinister eye licked his lips.

If you win it’s big news. The dark history of those two monsters will continue for the rest of their lives and their names will be mentioned every time.

And it will stand tall as an icon that watered the keygen and the ivory tower.

If that happens all the anti-Kizen factions of the Dark Alliance will take notice of him and give them strength.

I will not allow myself to become a victim of political strife. Andre who drew a picture of the knight’s revival nodded his head.

“I accept!”

That’s how the duel between 1st year Simon and former 2nd year Andre was established.

It was decided that Simon would receive help from Lorraine and Serene one by one and Andre would do his best.

Then we had operational time.

“I have this.”

Lorraine handed a dagger of her own to Simon. The entire blade of the sword was stained with dark red light.

“It’s a dagger that can withstand any kind of impact instead. I’ve filled it with my jet black. Every time it withstands an impact the red color of the dagger’s blade gradually fades and when the red color disappears completely it returns to a normal dagger.”

Simon grabbed the dagger and swung it into the air. He was light and had a good grip.

“Thank you Lorraine.”

As soon as Simon was able to say thanks Cerne suddenly appeared from behind! and hugged him

A pleasant scent of flowers rushed in from behind and Simon’s body stiffened as it was.

“What is this?”

Lorraine who thought it was an unreasonable trick frowned.

“What? I’m giving you my present too?”

Serene who sent a triumphant smile stuck her head out and spoke in a quiet voice in Simon’s ear.

“Do you remember when I taught you about jet-black differentiation in the body when we had a joint class in the first semester?”

“Huh? Uh uh.”

“I’ll give you the effect as it is.”

After a while she fell. I felt her spirit greatly lifted as she felt her feathers cling to her body.

It was a kind of simple compello effect.

‘If so.’

With Simon’s pounding heart he squeezed Lorraine’s dagger tightly.

‘Isn’t it just that I can’t lose?’

I can’t jump to conclusions because I don’t know the skills of the 2nd year Kizen yet but Simon felt his confidence rise.

While Simon was examining his new powers preparations for the duel proceeded quickly.

The role of referee was decided to be played by the royal butler who had attended Kizen in the past.

The rules were the same as the duel evaluation in Keygen. You will be disqualified if you use forbidden black magic or go outside the boundaries set by the arena. It was a victory if the opponent surrendered or made it incapacitated.

After a while Simon and Andrew who had finished their preparations came forward.

Andre said with a smirk.

“Oh! Shouldn’t we make a bet with each other?”

“You tell me.”

“Why don’t you quit Kizen if I win? You ruined my life so maybe it’s the other way around.”

Perhaps because he had nothing to lose Andre was making bigger and bigger irrational numbers.

At the word expulsion Lorraine’s eyes flashed with life. Serene on the other hand had her arms crossed and only raised the corner of her mouth probably because it was a very tempting proposal.

“On the other hand what if I win?”

“Tell me anything.”

Simon quietly tapped the clone of Peer hanging from his chest with the tip of his finger.

Peer spoke in his head and Simon agreed.

“Among the dungeons that currently exist in the territory of the Dresden Kingdom.”

So that no one else could hear Simon said his condition quietly.

“I want you to give me the ‘monopoly right’ in the one place I want.”

“…!”

Andre made a giddy expression.

Then whatever the dungeon must be handed over the value of the dungeon was astronomical.

“Do you know what you are asking for?”

“If you don’t like it stop.”

Andre was furious.

If Simon was full of confidence Andre thought it was a fight he could never lose. It was even a duel in which his knightly revival was at stake.

Andre declared drawing an R over his chest.

“In the name of the Dresden royal family I will accept Simon Pollentia’s terms!”

At the ball in front of a crowd of people Andre promised. The two quietly turned their backs and walked away.

[Khaha! I thought I wouldn’t be going to that dungeon for a while but this worked out really well!]

Peer said in his mind.

The dungeon the two requested was a likely place for the new Ancient Undead to hide.

There was no way to go because the kingdom with the right to attack strictly controlled access but I didn’t know that I would go through such a legal route.

‘Of course it’s a story after winning.’

The two widened their distance and faced each other.

[There is no place to go back boy! The opponent will come out with all their might without being vigilant.]

‘yes’

One day he had to fight Magnus and his sophomore year was a mountain he had to jump over at any time.

Simon took a fighting stance.

‘I will definitely win.’

The butler froze.

“Then from now on the duel between Prince Andre and student Simon Pollentia will begin.”
