Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 438
jerk- jerk-
dark cellar.
Someone was walking in this place where it was difficult to breathe due to the blowing dust and smelled of musty.
No it was being dragged.
A teenage boy with still young blonde hair. And he was walking with his arms held by sturdy men in suits.
After a while the boy reached the deepest part of this cellar. The men finally let go of the boy’s arm and stepped back.
Chii-
A flame burns in the dark. I heard the sound of sucking up smoke and drinking it and then a long puff of smoke came out.
“Are you here Malcolm?”
The cellar lights turned on and the surroundings were discerned. The middle-aged man sitting on the couch was someone the boy knew very well.
He is the leader of the “Randolph Gang” which is said to be the 3 major gangs of the Dark Alliance and is also the boy’s father.
Margel Randolph.
“…father.”
And this boy’s name is Malcolm Randolph.
I was a Kizen student in Special Case 10.
“It’s cold Malcolm. It’s a long-awaited vacation and you can’t see your father’s face and go to bed.”
Malcolm remained silent then looked up.
“What did you call me for Father?”
Margel sighed and inhaled the cigar smoke once more.
“I guess I’m a parent too so something like this came flying from Kizen.”
Malcolm winced. What Margel was holding in his hand and shaking was Malcolm’s Keygen 1st grade report card.
“Let’s see.”
Margel slowly opened his eyes.
“At the time of admission I was a special student who entered the 10th class. And at the end of the first year…”
Margel’s mouth twisted.
“No. 128.”
“….”
It fell from 10th to 128th.
Malcolm who was shaking his fists with a stiff face shouted.
“that-!”
“Know.”
Margel cut off his words in a cold voice.
“Your special skill ‘Doppelgänger’ is black magic that increases the number of people by creating clones. It may be good at the beginning of the semester but it slowly wears off in the second half of the first year. Your competitors keep learning and getting stronger.”
It was as Margel said.
From the middle of the 2nd semester all Keyzen students possessed one range attacker and were also aware of search-type black magic or curses to find the main body among doppelgangers.
-When dealing with Malcolm you only need to learn one ‘coloring curse’.
Rumors like that spread widely and victory know-how was shared.
This was the reason Malcolm a doppelganger that no one wanted to meet in the duel evaluation in the first semester degenerated into a neighborhood drum in the second semester.
“It’s not just because of that!”
Sweat beaded on Malcolm’s forehead. I had to make an excuse somehow.
“The liquid bomb used as the main armament…!”
“I heard it was banned.”
Margel said as if he had been waiting.
The Randolph gang’s special ‘liquid bomb’ that gives jet black and causes an explosion. The combination of that and the doppelganger was powerful.
However as a result of Keygen’s examination it was banned for use as an object that violated many duel evaluation regulations.
“But isn’t that self-inflicted?”
When Margel shook his head and asked Malcolm realized his mistake.
‘Shit.’
Even if it meant being beaten to death I shouldn’t have brought up this story as an excuse.
“Do you remember? Exception No. 1 evaluation of duel with Simon Pollentia.”
Of course I remember.
I can’t forget to forget
“At the duel evaluation which was watched by numerous high-ranking officials including the royal family you unleashed a lot of liquid bombs.”
The Randolph gang committed countless terrorism using this liquid bomb. They made astronomical amounts of money with reflexive gains and also brought down several competing organizations.
It was a fairly sensitive item but Malcolm used the liquid bomb to somehow win the duel with Simon and caught the eye of the kingdom officials who were watching the duel evaluation.
Eventually the unsolved explosion cases that the Randolph gang had been denying were re-investigated.
As a result the gang suffered fatal and irreversible damage.
Four kingdoms scrambled to confiscate the organization’s businesses and had to pay all sorts of penalties for massive damages. They were even attacked by other gangs who had been damaged by liquid bombs.
“If you have something to say say it. Your damn school play has put the organization in jeopardy.”
“….”
“Isn’t that why your school grades aren’t good? That Simon Pollentia who fought with you maintained the 1st place in the standings. He didn’t receive support from his family or anything just on his own.”
Margel clenched his chin.
“…I wanted a son like that too. His father must be dancing like that.”
‘Keugh!’
Malcolm groaned and said nothing.
Margel coldly scratched his brain.
“It’s over. Don’t go back to Roch Island.”
“…!”
It was a call to quit keygen. Malcolm raised his head hastily.
“Father! I…!”
jump!
Malcolm’s words didn’t follow. Suddenly a gleaming black figure came out and kicked his chin up.
Bahah!
Enemy!
The figure also appeared on the left and right. The pain pierced the abdomen flanks and thighs. He couldn’t breathe.
Two Margels grabbed the back of Malcolm’s head as he fell to his knees covered in blood in an instant and slammed him hard into the floor.
Boom!
There was a groan and the sound of a broken nose.
“Have you not come to your senses yet?”
And the real Margel was still sitting on the sofa. The gang members who were watching from behind swallowed dry saliva.
‘That’s Margel-sama’s doppelganger…!’
The doppelgangers grabbed Malcolm’s head and forced him to look up. Blood flowed from his bruised nose and down his forehead.
And Malcolm saw.
The sight of Margel sitting in the shadows with his eyes shining.
He was not the boss of one of the three major gangs for nothing. Margel was always cruel and unforgiving. Even if it’s my son.
“School play is over. Did you understand?”
Malcolm could only nod his head in absolute horror.
Soon Margel’s doppelgangers threw Malcolm to the floor and scattered into the air.
“This is a new mission for you.”
Palak.
Several photos fell in front of the fallen Malcolm.
“Bring the object in the picture.”
What appeared in the picture was a bone structure of a certain monster and the teeth were filled with high-purity gold. It was a very expensive looking item.
“There is a place called the Deimos Museum on the Parona Peninsula.
Malcolm raised his upper body and looked at the photo.
“…Any power other than me?”
“You go alone Malcolm.”
“It’s impossible to sneak this thing out by yourself.”
“It will cause a commotion.”
When Margel beckoned the four men whimpered and brought something to the floor with a thump! put it down
A metal body about the size of a knee. A reddish nucleus was visible in the middle.
“Liquid bombs are no longer available so I developed a new one.”
“…Replacement of liquid bomb?”
Margel nodded.
“It is said that higher level monsters generate a special wavelength when controlling lower entities of the same species. Lower entities absolutely obey that wavelength.”
“no way….”
“Yes. This is a device that summons the Nagas created by referencing the waves generated by the ‘Naga Queen’.”
Margel smirked.
“If it works numerous naga will flock to the Parona Peninsula. Malcolm you take advantage of the chaos and infiltrate the exhibition hall.”
“father!!”
Malcolm jumped up.
“Now the Parona Peninsula is in the middle of a festival! If you gather monsters you will get tremendous damage…!”
“Do you still think you’re a kid? Son.”
Malcolm winced and shut his mouth.
“please.”
Margel put on his pods and glared at Malcolm with cold eyes.
“Don’t let me down twice.”
* * *
After getting out of the port on the Parona Peninsula Simon and his party immediately went to change their clothes.
And with Meirin’s positive opinion since we had come all the way to Parona we decided to rent and wear traditional costumes of the region.
“No what is this?”
said Dick looking down at his baggy clothes.
The silk dress with the moon flower pattern of the Farona Peninsula fell below the knee and white pants had to be worn separately under it. Lastly you have to wear a hat on your head to complete it.
Dick had a disapproving look on his face.
“…What’s with the flower pattern on the man’s suit? And this isn’t even a skirt so why is it so long?”
“I think I’m just fine.”
Simon was also dressed in traditional attire. Holding on to the tip of a hat and covering one eye she was posing in the mirror.
“This is 100% overpriced! 900 silver for a 3-day rental of clothes like this! With this money you can eat 20 bowls of hearty meat noodles!”
“We’re here~”
Meirin and Kamibarez have arrived.
Dick’s head which had been grumbling with Simon turned.
‘Wow…!’
A blue-purple silk dress that comes down like a dress and looks pretty and white pants that look like side slits. And even a hat that is smaller and more dainty than men’s.
Meirin took a lively pose with her hands together and one leg raised.
“How is it? Do you like it?”
Kamibarez was laughing with his hands on his chest.
“Oh I’m kind of nervous.”
Simon whose face flushed red couldn’t take his eyes off the two of them. He just nodded his head as if he was possessed.
“They go really well together. The two of you.”
“No does this make sense?”
Dick looked at his clothes and got angry as if he couldn’t bear to say that it didn’t suit him.
“Women’s clothes are so pretty but why are men’s clothes like this? This is discrimination!”
“If you twist it will you wear women’s clothes too?
Meirin covered her mouth and laughed.
“And look at your best friend next to you. He’s a good match.”
In fact the clothing store clerks couldn’t take their eyes off Simon. Dick shook his head.
“It’s out of the question. He gets compliments even if he only wears a white shirt.”
“…Isn’t that a compliment?”
So the four of them came out to the streets in the traditional costumes of the Parona Peninsula.
“Wow!”
There were so many people. Half of them like Simon and his party were wearing traditional costumes.
“It’s really pretty!”
The street was already in the middle of the moon flower event.
Moonflowers in full bloom were swaying in the wind and countless street vendors seduced tourists with their delicious smell.
“Dick where are you staying?”
“It’s about a 30-minute carriage ride from here? I need to go shopping first.”
“Let’s go buy something to bake at the market here.”
Simon and Dick discussed the future schedule.
“Kami! Here it is! There are so many moon flowers here!”
“I think it’s pretty too!”
Meirin and Kamibarez were engrossed in enjoying the festival 100%.
“Simon! Simon! Look here!”
Simon who was looking around the evening turned his head to Meirin’s voice.
Mei Lin was nestled among the blue-purple moon flowers. She asked with a shy smile sticking her head out.
“Where am I?”
“…!”
Simon who is not immune to such games blushed.
“Ah Lord Meirin!”
Dick strode forward and knelt down in front of Meilin’s flower garden holding up a nearby stone and weeping.
“Meirin-dono! Where did the body go and only the head came…!”
It was Dick who was immediately knocked out by Meilin’s double sidekick. Simon laughed out loud.
“Simon~ Simon~”
This time Kamibarez pointed to a street vendor with his fingertips.
“Would you like some grilled skewers over there?”
“Okay. I’ll live.”
“Oh no! I…!”
Simon grinned.
“Let me buy it. I had money coming in during the vacation.”
There was 10000 gold received from Israfil for the Holy Federation mission.
So while Simon met with the members after a long time and enjoyed the festival and had a happy time a little worry remained.
‘How should I bring up the student council?’
Simon was thinking of making an executive offer just tonight.
I’m following my friends and struggling alone.
Took!
I bumped into someone on a crowded street.
“Hup! Sin sorry!”
The passerby who had bumped into them hurriedly lowered his head and held out his hand. When he came to his senses Simon fell to the floor.
“Are you hurt anywhere? I’m really really sorry!”
Simon’s eyes widened.
‘What is it?’
It wasn’t that he activated jet black but Simon had a different endurance than normal people. Even though he was on his mind he never thought he would fall so easily.
Simon looked up and saw the passerby he bumped into.
A young handsome boy with red hair. It was a thick lion’s head with a clear forehead.
‘I didn’t hit it on purpose. It seems like a real mistake.’
Simon stood up holding the boy’s hand.
“Once again I’m really sorry!”
The boy apologized several times.
“No. I was thinking about something else and couldn’t see.”
The red-haired boy apologized again and again and disappeared into the crowd. While he was wrapped in a robe he was wearing something long and wrapped in cloth behind his back.
“Simon! Simon! Where are you?”
“Oh sorry. I’ll be right there.”
* * *
“Aww! It hurts~”
A red-haired man who had escaped the crowd was rubbing his shoulder with teary eyes.
-What’s going on?
A woman’s voice could be heard from the communication crystal ball mounted on the fence.
“I was just walking down the street and I bumped into a person and the magic was activated. If the other person fell and I was in this much pain…”
he scratched his head
“Originally I’d have thrown myself on the floor! Ahaha!”
-Didn’t I tell you to stop being clumsy? Mercenary King.
The boy called the mercenary king said as if he was embarrassed.
“Ugh! As expected that title still feels a bit burdensome.”
-Then you should get used to it~ How is the situation?
“It’s still quiet.”
The boy scanned the street with a serious expression as if he had never done that.
“But are you sure? Information about a raid by the Randolph gang.”
– I’m not sure. But well we get paid whether or not we raid. I hope nothing goes wrong.
“hmm.”
The boy touched the handle of the sword slung over his back. Then he said as if he had just remembered.
“Ah! Oh! Come to think of it I bought a great souvenir at the Parona market!”
-souvenir?
The boy rummaged through his pockets and took out something.
“This! It’s a magic artifact that if you have it in your bosom you can easily see coins that have fallen on the road! Only 10 gold!”
-….
There was silence in the communication crystal sphere for a moment.
-Ah-oh! do you believe that I can’t earn 10 gold even if I pick up all the coins that have fallen in my life!
The boy’s mouth fell open.
“So did I get scammed?”
– You idiot!!
