Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner - Chapter 248
Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 248
There was a lot of fighting but in the end Simon decided to safely get the exclusive right to attack the dungeon.
The queen and the treasurers were somewhat surprised by Simon’s choice.
It came out pretty strong so I was afraid that I would ask for the right to attack the biggest dungeons in the kingdom and even the dungeons I was preparing to attack but Simon’s choice was unexpected.
White Tomb Dungeon.
The name came from the discovery of a dungeon gate in an underground tomb built of white stone. So far there have been several raiding parties but they failed to enter and exit in the first place.
No one could pass through the gate no matter what special secret was hidden. So now raiding parties have withdrawn and archaeologists are investigating to solve the secrets of dungeon access.
It’s been 10 years already and now Simon said he would take this dungeon which was like a giraffe.
Even in the kingdom there were lingering feelings about the potential value of dungeons but it was a somewhat acceptable line.
However in the kingdom it was nailed that if Simon took the monopoly all archaeologists would be withdrawn and information obtained in the kingdom could not be provided.
Simon had to uncover the secret of the dungeon alone.
The queen and the officials firmly believed that Simon would never be able to solve this riddle that no one had been able to solve for 10 years and in the end they expected him to rely on the kingdom again by giving up some of the right to capture.
[Ha ha ha ha! I know how to get in and out so it doesn’t matter!]
Simon had peers. In fact he knew the secret of the dungeon.
In the end Simon decided to return to Keygen after being promised exclusive rights to the dungeon and even signing the documents.
There was no time to enter the dungeon right away and Magnus’ threat still remained so he planned to prepare slowly. He also safely received 2000 gold commissioned gold.
‘It was a short but fulfilling schedule.’
Simon was so proud of himself. Of course it was a mentally exhausting schedule because of being caught up in Serene and Lorraine’s conflict all day long.
That afternoon Simon returned to Kizen in a teleportation magic circle.
I broke up with the two and arrived at the dormitory but there was no one in room 409.
‘They both seem to have finished their missions.’
Since today was the 3rd day I thought I would be able to see my face tomorrow the last day.
Simon was unpacking his things leisurely when he belatedly found a note attached to his desk. This ill-handed handwriting like a crawling earthworm was unmistakably Dick’s.
-During the emergency meeting! As soon as you see the note pack your clothes and come to the address below!
Beneath it was the address on the Rochester side.
Simon’s eyes gleamed with wonder.
‘Meeting?’
* * *
As soon as Simon returned to Kezen he changed his clothes and went out to Rochester.
As the day got darker streetlights powered by mana bulbs lit up all over the city.
‘There are many people even at night.’
The night of youth continued as the curfew and other restrictions were removed during the mission review period.
Also if we start preparing for the 3rd BMAT test from the day after tomorrow it is obvious that we will be very busy so everyone thought to burn the holiday economically.
“Here you are.”
Simon arrived at the address written on Dick’s note. It was an ordinary two-story family home.
The address pointed to the second floor so I was going up the stairs but I already heard a buzz.
“excuse me.”
Simon knocks on the wooden door but there is no response. The knocking sound seemed to be drowned out by the clamor from inside.
It wasn’t even locked so Simon carefully opened the door and stepped inside.
“ah.”
It was a cozy tree house made of logs. It was chilly outside because of the night wind but it was warm and pleasant inside.
– Meow!
As soon as Simon entered white and black little cats came running.
‘uh? Why are they here?’
These were the kittens that Kamibarez raised in the women’s dormitory.
As the cats clung to Simon’s paws rubbed against each other and acted like charms it seemed that the accumulated fatigue melted away.
Simon squatted in place and tickled the cats.
“Hey! What are you doing? Come in quickly if you’re late!”
Now I heard a very familiar Meirin-specific snarky cry.
“Simon~”
Kamibarez also stuck out his head and laughed.
“hello!”
“Hello Kami! Everyone is here.”
“Yes! Mei Lin and I arrived this morning.”
Simon changed into slippers and entered the room. The cats meowed and followed Simon.
“Are you here?”
Dick who was sitting at his desk smiled and waved.
Firewood was burning in the fireplace next to it and simple snacks and wine were placed on the table. On the soft sofa various magic circle drawing tools and books were piled up.
“What is all this?”
Simon asked in bewilderment and Dick answered with arms outstretched.
“I borrowed a day for a countermeasure meeting! We’re all going to sleep here today!”
“Suddenly what kind of meeting?”
“Looks like you don’t know yet.”
Meirin turned to Simon and continued.
“The theme of the third BMAT exam is revealed.”
Simon’s eyes widened rapidly.
“That has it already been revealed?”
“Mhaha! Who am I? This Dick is faster than anyone else…!”
“Don’t be cocky! Pretty much everyone knows right now.”
When Meilin scolded him Dick lowered his head with a sullen expression.
“Hey the intense information warfare I was expecting wasn’t like this!”
“But is this information for sure?”
“Yes! I’m sure!”
This time Kamibarez clenched his fists and said.
“The theme of this test is ‘sea’!”
According to her explanation a large-scale magic circle and an underwater test site are being built in the sea not too far from Rock Island.
“ocean…!”
It felt like a headache.
A test at sea this was unimaginable.
“I’ve been digging into details such as material flow and human resources that Keygen is moving and I’m sure.”
Dick rested his arm on the back of his head.
“However entry into the test site is strictly forbidden at the Kizen Headquarters level so we do not yet know what kind of test is taking place at sea.”
“But it’s clear that the theme is the sea.”
“That’s it!”
After thinking about it for a bit my head went white.
‘How on earth am I supposed to fight in the sea?’
I thought I knew why the emergency meeting was held. I couldn’t quite figure out how to fight at sea.
At least Simon had the experience of fighting at sea once. It was when he fought the traitor Finch on the island of ‘Blue Harbor’ he visited for the second mission evaluation.
“The battlefield called the sea is a necromancer’s nightmare.”
Maylin explained.
“It is difficult to maintain unity in the jet-dark magic circle and it is easily scattered. The black magic that can be used is limited and long-distance projectiles such as jet-black arrows are slowed down in water. Most undead that can be commanded are also vulnerable to the salty sea And it’s safe to say that you can hardly use skeletons. Because bones are lighter than water they will float.”
After hearing her explanation Simon’s expression became serious.
“By the way how do you hide in the sea?”
“Yes. Breathing is the biggest problem.”
said Kamibarez who was lounging with the cats in his arms.
“Wouldn’t it be fine if it was a test of fighting on a boat?”
“It will never be a naval battle.”
Dick laughed sullenly.
“Isn’t Kizen vicious today and tomorrow? It’s not strange to have us handcuffed and teleported to the bottom of the sea.”
“Handcuffs handcuffs…”
Kamivarez’s face went pale. Maylin interjected pressing Dick’s forehead firmly.
“That sounds strange we must always prepare for a fight in the water. Even if it’s a water battle theme like Kami said we have to prepare for drowning.”
“Yes that must be true!”
Following Kamibarez Simon nodded in agreement. Mei Lin clasped her palms together drawing everyone’s attention.
“Then as captain I’ll give you instructions.”
She took out one of the piles of books on the sofa and opened it.
The title was < Necromancer survive the sea! >.
“Simon came too so if we talk from the beginning it’s not like there’s no black magic that can be used in water.
Simon took the book and examined the blueprints himself. It was a magic circle that made simple gills but there were a lot of formulas I had never seen before.
At a cursory glance to make this I had to learn the rune word ‘limping’ and there were other runes I had to go through before learning that rune word.
“Other books are usually like this.”
“Something feels unkind.”
“Haha! What do you expect? Necromancers are all like that!”
Dick interrupted.
“Necromancers are basically Silipas so they develop the best magic circles they can make. Unless it’s a textbook it’s safe to say that it’s hard to find black magic for beginners in the water that is considerate of beginners!”
“So you’re saying we have to make our own black magic for the test?”
“That’s it! It’s easy to understand.”
“ruler.”
Meirin looked around at the members and opened her mouth again.
“The first thing we need to create is black magic that will help us breathe underwater. Besides that we need to make black magic for underwater attacks that will allow us to intercept enemies at sea and dark magic that will help us move quickly underwater. I will be taking the test this week or next week We don’t know so let’s hurry up.”
Meilin assigned each of the three roles and divided them up.
“Then begin!”
Simon and Meirin decided to take charge of the most important breathing magic circle.
I decided to spread out the books I borrowed from the library and write only the important formulas.
After making the magic circle like that after a simple test I decided to go to professors or teaching assistants to check the stability.
“But did you manage to borrow these books?”
At Simon’s words Meirin said “huh” and smiled.
“As soon as I heard the information from the commoners I ran from the library.”
The three of them said they had swept all the dark magic books related to the sea. It is said that there were even students who came and went faster than they did.
“Now the latecomers who arrived at the library must have been embarrassed.”
“Good job.”
Simon first looked at the magic circle blueprints made by Meirin.
“This is a reservoir method that stores air in the magic circle.”
“Yep.”
“But in order to keep the magic circle in the water for a long time shouldn’t we add more formulas to strengthen the bond?”
she shrugged.
“There’s no room to put that in? Look at the magic circle. It’s dense as it is now.”
“Then let’s change the unnecessary structure first and secure as much space as possible. First of all change the complicated jet-black circuit into a straight line.”
“You idiot! What kind of attack magic is this? If you turn the circuit into a straight line it’s just an air gun launch magic!”
“We just need to distribute the circuit at the end. Wait a minute.”
Simon flipped through the book to find relevant information.
“Kami! Can you give me an example of circuit distribution?”
“Yes! Simon!”
Kamibarez was in charge of data research and offensive magic.
She spread out her books on one side of the table and sat in them eagerly turning the pages.
“How about this?”
“Oh I found it quickly! Thanks!”
Simon took the book opened it and corrected the drawing with a quill.
“I’ll try to make it right away.”
When Meirin floated the magic circle in the air as per the drawing and let the jet black flow a leak was discovered in the middle.
“It’s a failure. It’s pitch black.”
“This line has resistance so the damage keeps piling up. Wait a minute.”
The four of them were engrossed in developing underwater magic circles.
While Mei Lin reviewed the rune words Simon sighed and picked up the unopened wine on the table.
“Can I drink this?”
“Uh eat as much as you want!”
Dick nodded.
Simon drank a sip of the wine just enough to not get drunk and took a snack. In fact I was hungry because I couldn’t even eat dinner.
“Hey Simon! Look at this!”
“huh.”
Two hours passed in an instant and the night deepened. The development of the magic circle continued in a free atmosphere.
“Puhaha! Look at them!”
Dick pointed with his fingertip. Two kittens were sleeping inside the pot hugging each other.
Meirin and Kamibarez held hands and let out screams of joy.
“So cute!”
“Ha ha heart attack for real.”
“Shall we take a break?”
At Simon’s suggestion the two girls ran to the cats panting.
Dick stretched out on the sofa and closed his eyes but after a while Mei Lin slapped him on the back and woke him up.
“Simon! Please look at the attack magic I made!”
“okay.”
It was a modified version of the jet-black arrow that Kamibarez made but it was already named the jet-black torpedo.
Dick snooped over and exclaimed admiration.
“Oh~ Nice composition! Let’s try it.”
“Uh where?”
Dick ran to the bathroom and filled the tub with water.
“hey!!”
Seeing this Maylin shouted.
“Don’t do it! Accidents happen!”
“Hzmlug!”
When Dick gave a female voice a pepper shaker thrown by Meilin flew to his forehead. said Dick dodging quickly.
“Ehehe it’s not dangerous it’s black magic like jet black arrows but it’s okay! I’ll take care of it!”
After a while Kamibarez entered the bathtub and spread a magic circle under the water.
At first it failed because the jet black kept scattering in the water but soon as the proficiency increased the bond became solid and they succeeded in creating a magic circle even in the water.
“Okay! Let’s shoot here!”
On the other side Dick was waiting with a defensive magic circle. Simon came to watch and Meirin who had been ignoring him was standing on tiptoe behind Simon as if he was curious after all.
“Jet-black torpedoes!”
Fighting!
The projectiles fired by Kamibarez bounce in the water of the bathtub! and flew away Everyone exclaimed in admiration.
“?!”
But suddenly the torpedo that was heading forward hit Dick’s defensive magic circle and it soared into the air without breaking.
As it is it hits the mana light bulb hanging on the toilet and Pababat! An explosion was heard.
“Whoaaaagh!”
“Aww!”
Dick and Kamivarez came out startled.
The mana bulb shattered and fell to the floor and Dick tripped over the bathtub and collapsed.
“I can’t live! I told you not to do it you troublemakers!”
Even though Meirin was angry her mouth was smiling as if it was funny. She was the same with Simon.
Kamibarez lowered his head.
“I’m sorry.”
Meirin stroked Kamibarez’s hair lightly and glanced at Dick.
“This is all for experimentation but it’s Dick’s fault for spreading the defensive magic circle thick.”
“…Wow look at people being discriminated against. I can’t live with sadness.”
Even as Dick said that he climbed into the bathtub and looked at the light bulb.
“It’s a relief! There’s no hole in the ceiling only the light bulb is broken.”
Dick cleared the debris and pulled a new light bulb from his subspace and put it on.
When the magic circle on the ceiling is activated the fire is pot! and came in
“I replaced the one sold in the market with a better one! The owner will not be dissatisfied with this right?”
Simon said with a smile.
“Still tell the owner clearly.”
“Ah of course. I changed the light bulb so I have to beg for a lower inn fee.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
The night of the countermeasures meeting deepened.
