Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner - Chapter 266
Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 266
10 minutes before the start of the test.
rumble.
Simon was waiting on the floating platform on the sea.
The scaffolding was a flat buoyant material that seemed to be made from slime by-products. Between 20 and 30 students were placed on each scaffold and they all wore protective vests over wetsuits provided by Keygen and wore tongue pads on their arms.
Looking around I could see that there were countless such floats.
In other words this time it was a test in which all 847 first-year students took the test at once.
“Simoon! I’m here!”
Dick is seen waving his arms and shouting at a scaffolding far away. Simon smiled and shook his hand.
‘good. Let’s concentrate.’
Simon checked the tongue pad on his wrist.
‘The design is different from the one I wore during the island survival evaluation.’
Points from hunting monsters are calculated remotely by the tongue pad and transferred to the headquarters for aggregation. The current points and overall rankings could also be checked with this tongue pad. Simon checked several features before the game.
No one said a word around as if everyone was nervous. He was silently relaxing his body taking deep breaths and controlling his mind.
[Khaha! Are you nervous? boy.]
Hearing Peer’s voice Simon smiled and shook his head.
‘I’m fine. It’s not the time to be nervous yet.’
Whoa!
At that time a voice magic circle unfolded in the sky and a loud sound resounded.
[Thank you so much for waiting! Then from now on the 3rd ‘comprehensive black magic ability evaluation’ will begin.]
[Start the countdown!]
[10.]
[9.]
….
The students energetically began to sing along to the count.
[6.]
[5.]
The same was true of the crowd at Rochsum watching on the screen.
Regardless of status or nationality everyone was shouting numbers.
[2.]
[One.]
[The exam begins!]
Woo woo woo!
With the sound of boat horns echoing throughout the sea the students all jumped into the sea as if they had been waiting.
with a plop! with a plop! with a plop! with a plop!
It was a spectacular sight to see hundreds of students jumping into the sea at the same time creating splashes of water.
“Euhaha! Go first!”
Surprisingly it was Dick who was at the forefront of the entire school. When he put an enchantment on his flippers and started the engine jet black radiated like a booster.
“All the coins are mine… Huh?”
taut!
Dick the leader stopped moving. When he looked back a male student holding a strange fishing rod-like equipment was smirking.
The needle was caught in Dick’s flippers before he knew it.
“Where are you going!”
As he pulled the rod Dick’s body was pulled at breakneck speed.
“Whoaaaagh! What are you doing! Are you not me?”
“I don’t know! I’m just targeting the one who goes first!”
As the male student raised his fishing pole Dick who was the leader flew to the surface. He smiled contentedly.
Fuck! puck!
“Ugh!”
Suddenly a jet-black arrow shot from behind his back and severely slashed his barrier gauge.
“who is this!”
Looking back another group of students spread their hands toward his back.
“These…!”
“Should I watch the back of my head?”
The sea turned into chaos in an instant.
The number of coins at the bottom of the sea is limited. The number of coins first distributed is only 1000.
Considering that each person had to collect 10 of them to pass the test only about 100 people could get through quickly.
Of course the competition is bound to be extremely fierce.
Of course as time passed on the side of Keygen more and more coins were scattered to the bottom of the sea but the students were more ignited to compete for the top spot.
“Catch that!”
“Get out!”
“It’s not time to fight among ourselves! Let’s catch those who are going down first!”
Projectiles curses and black magic spread out from all directions.
And Simon who was chosen as one of the students to pay attention to as Jane during the daily commentary said.
“….”
I just sat quietly on the floating platform. She was just watching the situation under the sea.
There is a popping sound from the sea and spray rises. It wasn’t like they were fighting among themselves beating drums and playing janggu and messing around.
‘You don’t have to jump right in. If I go ahead I’ll get a concentrated attack and lose my strength.’
In fact not only Simon but most of the top players were watching the situation from the top of the float. I don’t lose my strength for nothing and I’m waiting for the other students to lose their strength.
Simon also decided to wait patiently while charging the air magic circle.
[However the test time is only 4 hours. Aren’t you too relaxed boy?]
Peer said.
[I’d rather suggest changing the order.]
‘Order?’
[Yes! Go out to the open sea catch monsters and raise points then come back when the coin battle is a bit loose!]
‘Oh that’s a good way too.’
In fact there were not a few students who went straight to the open sea to avoid the fierce coin competition.
The side where the coin is at the bottom is a shallow sea with a depth of only about 20 meters but if you go over to the open sea the depth will increase dramatically and a lot of monsters will appear.
It is a way to collect points by hunting monsters first then returning with an hour or so left to collect coins. By that time everyone would have secured coins and went out to sea.
Of course you can also collect coins by hunting other students in the open sea. All the students who are now going to open sea were thinking this way.
‘But I’m going to wait a little longer.’
This side has Deimos the secret weapon.
However as a result of training together a few times in between intervals Deimos’ fuel efficiency was not that good. He can play an active part for about two hours.
So Simon was thinking of getting the coin first and not coming back until the exam was over.
‘As soon as I heard the rules I made a plan thoroughly. Definitely this time!’
Although he had a calm face Simon’s fighting spirit was burning.
With this Deimos if you don’t win first place it’s meaningless.

“This 3rd BMAT! It’s unfolding in a very unusual way!”
The presenter exclaimed in excitement.
“Now the game is over 30 minutes! Only two students have collected more than 8 coins! The checks are so brutal!”
Students were too strongly conscious of other competitors than Coin.
They were concentrating on either floating on the surface of the water to prevent them from breathing or sniping students who were picking up coins from the bottom.
“Ah! It’s going in an unexpected way! According to the exam rules if you don’t collect 10 coins you will be eliminated no matter what high score you get that is you will be expelled! Lieutenant General… No Professor! Aren’t you coming out?”
Jane who was resting her chin on the seat next to her looked at the host with pitiful eyes. The moderator put on a grimace.
“Students are not fools Conrad.”
“Yep! Yep! Of course! The professor believes in the students! So do I! Ah! The moment I speak-!”
The screen has changed.
I saw a boy running coolly in the water.
A boy with white hair and dark brown skin wearing a white swimming cap. As he stretched out his arms and legs projectiles flew from six magic circles at the same time.
Tuck! Tuquaak! Tuck!
The students who approached while swimming were hit by the projectiles were buried in the ‘snow’ and were completely incapacitated. It didn’t even dissolve in water.
In the meantime the boy found two coins at the bottom.
“Ah! That student! That student is exactly what Professor Jane was talking about! Laheim the lord of Snowfield Castle Special 8! I’ve already collected 10 coins! Lead alone!!”
Now when the cool picture came out the audience cheered loudly.
The host also looked at Jane with a satisfied smile.
“Professor! What kind of black magic is that student using!”
Laheim drew a magic circle on the soles of her feet. As if the projectile had been blown away earlier it was moving at high speed like a fish emitting smoke.
“This is ‘Golden Snow’ a dark magic unique to the Seolwonseong family. It looks like normal snow but it has no melting point. Once buried in snow the snow multiplies itself and becomes extremely heavy.”
The students who were hit by Laheim’s snow bomb were struggling to go down to the bottom of the sea.
The only fate of such students was to send out a rescue signal with a tongue pad or to be teleported out by Kizen when the breathing magic ended and the air ran out.
“It’s truly the ultimate black magic in water! But the Raheim students don’t go out to the open sea even after collecting all the coins. Seeing who they’re looking for as they keep wandering around the inland sea? Oh! It’s starting to come out!”
Starting with Raheim strong players who could be called named class jumped in earnest.
Exception No. 7 Elisa made a kind of ‘submarine’ that crossed the ghost ship. Taking all the blows she reached the bottom of the sea and swept up her coins.
Exception No. 10 Malcolm used his doppelganger to quickly find a coin at the bottom of the sea and Kamibarez got himself inside a large drop of blood and arrived at the bottom of the sea then rolled around like a ball to pick up the coin.
Cerne was just sitting still on the scaffolding the starting point but the students started giving coins on their own.
“Suddenly the competition is on fire! Many of the students who were floating on the surface and kept in check are going to the bottom!”
“I was waiting for the coin to increase.”
Jane explained.
“Every time the number of coins at the bottom increases more and more. We just added 1000 coins. Now there is more merit in collecting than blocking on the surface.”
“okay!”
The spectacle was enriched and the audience was satisfied. The moderator also relayed with more strength and spattered.
Then an assistant came over and handed out a piece of paper to the moderator and Jane.
“Ah a new statistic has just come out! Currently students who wish to study Matus and Doxology have an advantage! And a statistic shows that students who want to study Summoning are at an overwhelming disadvantage! I hope you will cheer up a little more! Let’s see student Simon Pollentia!”
pod.
The main screen rotated showing Simon still waiting at the start line.
* * *
Simon was still waiting.
I couldn’t help it because I had a strategy to collect points in the last two hours but it was true that my body was itching a little.
‘Shall we go for a bit without overdoing it?’
While Simon was thinking about that the side suddenly became noisy.
he turned his head.
“!”
Simon hastily backed away.
When the projectiles fly and hit the float boom! pop! and an explosion of snow broke out.
‘I can’t believe this ability.’
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
In an instant the weight is shifted to the side of the snow bomb and the float is overturned.
I saw students on the float with Simon screaming and falling into the sea.
Simon immediately stepped on the jet black and jumped up to the top of the float.
“Finally found!”
A drenched white-haired man threw off his swimming cap and laughed.
“I’m betting Maylin right now and duel!”
