Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner - Chapter 555
Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 555
the next morning.
The morning class was Jurassic. Simon went to school nervously fearing there might be a strange rumor but the atmosphere in his classroom was no different from usual.
Friends passed by greeting Simon as usual.
‘I’m glad. Didn’t they spread the rumor?’
Simon thought of such an optimistic thought but in fact the girls couldn’t stand their itchy mouth and spread rumors all over the place.
The contents of the rumor are as follows.
-Simon the student council president and Merida the 4th overall were spreading the blankets in the main building at night and doing strange things while getting tangled up in each other.
Originally rumors have to be moderately credible and plausible to spread widely but this rumor was only stimulating but the impression that it was somewhat out of the blue was strong.
Even if you think about Simon and Merida’s usual behavior and above all the act of spreading a blanket and doing strange things in the main building where a lot of people come and go was unrealistic.
If the place was an empty lecture hall with no one around the rumors would have spread even louder.
Even the students who liked to gossip soon lost interest because bringing up this story would only make them look like fools. Only the two female students who saw it with their own eyes were frustrated.
of course.
“Hey you crazy pervert bastard!”
There were also people who believed.
Mei Lin who was in the same class grabbed Simon by the wrist and brought him outside then hit him in the face with a cushion.
“Me Meirin! Wait! Eup!”
“Uh uh how! The student council president who should be the model for the students! With a girl at school! That such shamelessness…!”
Mei Lin whose face was red slammed the cushion. Simon asked holding onto the cushion.
“Wait a minute. What exactly did you hear about that shameless act?”
Simon wondered exactly what kind of rumors had spread but when asked Meirin’s face reddened like a tomato.
She backed away and said ‘That’s right.’ she stuttered and then she screamed as if her shyness had reached its limit.
“Why are you telling me that? You pervert!”
“…Simon.”
Next to him was Kamibarez who had a sullen face wiggling his hands.
“It’s shocking. Adults before us…”
“I’m not Kami! What’s wrong with you?”
Kkeukkeuk.
Looking where the laughter came from I saw Dick laughing with his mouth covered. Simon glared at him.
“You’re guilty Dick.”
Even ridiculous rumors would sound plausible if Dick adapted them.
“Ah~ I heard some interesting rumors and only told the student council members.
“…okay.”
Simon explained everything.
“Merida put on a slip?”
“That’s why you’re so entangled!”
“…Don’t say you’re entangled Kami. It’s a strange feeling.”
Simon scratched his cheek shyly and turned to look at Dick.
“please.”
I meant to spread a rough explanation. Dick who had been sitting by her window came down to the floor and shrugged her shoulders.
“Even if I don’t use my hands the rumor is going to subside. If you just leave it alone there’s no need to scrape it off and it will go away on its own.”
“I wish it was.”
“Hehehe but for a month or two you’ll be hooked up with Merida for fun?”
Dick tapped Simon’s forearm.
“If it was a true story I would have become a hero to men. Real man Simon!”
“…Please be quiet.”
Simon looked around anxious to see if anyone would hear.
Mei-Lin said while holding the cushion as if she was still concerned.
“But Simon why did you suddenly get involved with Merida?”
“I’ve been chosen as a dispatch partner this time.”
“oh?”
Dick burst out.
“Hey! Then at the dispatch site that rumor might become reality…”
Bawk!
Dick was hit in the back of the head by Meilin’s cushion and fell out. Kamibarez said.
“I’m glad it’s decided now Simon! Where is the dispatch destination?”
“Oh that’s it.”
Simon scratched the side of his head and looked at Meirin.
“It’s an ivory tower.”
“What?”
Meirin seemed completely unaware. Simon said what happened to her.
“…Festival of time. That’s right. It’s time to start soon.”
“You know what?”
“What do you mean I belong to the Ivory Tower so of course you know! I even went inside a few times.”
After hearing her story it didn’t sound like a dangerous place.
Of course Meirin at the time was young and hadn’t even opened her core so she mainly wandered around the lower floors which were less dangerous. She said she didn’t know what the upper class was like either.
“A place where time flows on the continent it’s cool! I really want to go there someday!”
Kamibarez who was listening to the story flapped his wings.
“I envy you. Some go to the desert on a dispatch and some go to enjoy the festival? Isn’t the discrimination too severe?”
Dick grumbled.
While they were talking about this and that Simon looked sideways at Meirin.
-From now on this is a secret mission that is only entrusted to the student council president by the head office.
Because it was top-secret it was a mission that could not even be told to friends in the Ivory Tower.
This was not a simple dispatch.
At Keygen Headquarters only Simon the student council president was entrusted with the mission. Simply put it is about bringing information and data from the Ivory Tower from inside the Tower of Time.
In other words it was to act as a ‘spy’.
At this time Simon made one thing clear.
-I know you can’t refuse the mission but I don’t want to get involved in a conflict between Kizen and the Ivory Tower.
-Aha I could be misunderstood like that.
The headquarters staff opened his mouth with a serious face.
– I can’t tell you the details because it’s a top secret but this time the peace of the continent is at stake.
-yes?
-The owner of the ivory tower is plotting something.
Simon recalled the conversation he had with the headquarters staff yesterday.
Meirin is really ignorant. She knew about the Festival of Time itself but she had no idea that Simon was being dispatched to the Ivory Tower.
However one person who seems to know.
– Something interesting will happen soon.
Serene Eindark.
She is the official heir to the Ivory Tower and within the organization she belongs to a faction hostile to Kizen.
Above all the ivory tower owner is her adoptive father.
‘Umm I hope I didn’t get caught up in trouble.’
Simon pressed his temples hard. He only wanted to return safely and learn Dullahan.

On the day of dispatch evening.
Simone left the dorm in a bow tie and tuxedo.
It’s been a long time since I decorated it to the fullest. I put my bangs up and changed it to a style that clearly exposed my forehead and I lightly tapped on the new dress shoes I bought this time.
[Khehehe! I’m looking forward to this Ivory Tower schedule!]
‘Please take care of me Peer.’
In preparation for an emergency the Ancient Undead decided to accompany them on this outside schedule as well.
It is Peer Hersheba and Achemus who take them directly to subspace.
Currently Elizabeth was stepping on the tail of ‘White’ under Simon’s instruction. I was thinking of calling her with Hersheba’s ability.
In addition the demon of disease ‘knife’ is melted into the peer’s sword and the prince can call only a zombie. At any time the entire 7th Corps can move.
Simon who has finished preparing rides the teleport magic circle from Keyzen and moves.
arrived beyond space.
“ah.”
The night sky was densely studded with stars.
When I lowered my head the bright lights dazzled my eyes.
Simon was dropped off in the middle of a big city. Tall tower structures stretched towards the sky as if competing and the noise from everywhere was deafening.
Simon was a bit surprised.
‘Was the ivory tower such a bustling place?’
When ordinary continental people hear the word ‘ivory tower’ they think of an image of geeks who only have one big tower in an empty field and only study in it.
However the technology of the tower is transmitted outside the tower and a large metropolitan area is naturally formed.
Woo-woo-!
There was even a train in the middle of the city.
‘amazing! It’s not even the Holy Federation but it’s a train!’
No matter how old the necromancer is everyday items that are closely related to people’s lives are still usually made with mana.
Magic Crystals Mana Screens Communication Orbs Memorial Orbs Mana Lamps Mana Stoves and more.
Of course jet-black-based items have better performance but there was a disadvantage in that they were expensive because there was no special means of production that surpassed the Necromancer’s core.
On the other hand mana-based items could be mass-produced and were inexpensive.
The Ivory Tower must have amassed tremendous wealth with these mana skills.
‘It’s nice.’
A city of high technology and wealth that surpasses even Langerstein.
That was Simon’s first impression of the Ivory Tower. The style of the building was the same and even the people walking on the street were rich starting with the clothes they were wearing.
Simon held up the map under the twinkling lights delighted in his new surroundings.
‘It will take some time to walk to the destination.’
Since I had come to the Ivory Tower I decided to take the train.
Instead of a regular train there was a tourist train that only operated during this ‘Festival of Time’ period and I paid a somewhat expensive ticket price of 500 silver and boarded it.
‘oh.’
The train was running slowly and one side of the wall was almost like glass so I could see the night view of the city clearly.
“Tourists to the Ivory Tower! Welcome!”
Each train car was accompanied by a guide explaining the city.
“The Ivory Tower has been a pioneer that has led mankind for over 2000 years…”
Simon listened to the guide’s explanation and looked at the pictures and paintings on the train walls.
Most of the works praised the long history of ivory towers but there were also photos of ivory towers towering over jungles deserts and glaciers.
‘There was an ivory tower in a place like this. Did he change places often in the past?’
There was also a pretty interesting piece next to it. It was a picture of a naked ape who seemed to have not yet evolved and a wizard wearing a robe and holding a staff smiling and drawing a V with their arms wrapped around their shoulders.
‘This is too far-fetched!’
Aside from whether or not it made sense to have a picture of friendship between an ape and a wizard there was no such thing as a magic camera back then.
“This picture. At that time there were no magic cameras weren’t they?”
There was a tourist who spit out exactly what Simon was thinking and asking questions. However the guide answered solemnly without a hint of embarrassment.
“In the ancient continent there existed a legendary magic system called ‘Sorcery Civilization’. These secret techniques that cannot be analyzed even with modern knowledge…”
If the guide thought something was strange he brought up the story of the magical civilization and covered it up.
Magical civilization was a kind of cheat key.
Still looking around the materials I thought that the sorcery civilization might have existed.
‘Isn’t that why I tried research to turn back time in the ivory tower?’
That’s how Simon did some sightseeing and had a good time and arrived at his destination the station.
‘Actually it would have been faster to just walk.’
The tourist train took quite a long time to go round and round at a slow speed.
Simon opened the map again.
Looking at the entire city area two large towers towered over the city.
The relatively small white tower on the left is the headquarters of the Ivory Tower.
And on the right the tallest tallest faded gray tower is the headquarters of the old Ivory Tower now called the ‘Old Tower’ or ‘The Tower of Time’.
‘Here it is.’
It was used as the home of the Ivory Tower for 1700 years based on the weight of 2000 years.
The Tower of Time appeared in front of me.
Woo woo woo woo woo-!
An unknown aura was swirling around the top of the tower. Something like a golden band like Nephthys’ superpower entered the body of the Tower of Time and then disappeared.
What will happen here?
Simon moved on with a pleasant tension.
“Hey let’s get past it!”
The city’s carriages made a loud noise and stopped in front of the Tower of Time. Gentlemen and ladies got off the carriage one after another.
“Countess and wife Calveline it has been confirmed.”
At the entrance of the tower stood a butler checking on the invited guests. After that you can see armed soldiers but the security is tight.
‘…I arrived safely.’
His partner Merida was nowhere to be seen.
Merida who thought they would depart together from Keygen said they would come in using a different route.
I assured her that she would arrive at her destination on time but she didn’t even poke her nose.
At that time Simon who became impatient was looking around.
‘!’
dark night.
We see a girl sitting on a bench under a dim lamplight. Dressed in a black off-the-shoulder dress she was a face Simon knew well.
‘Merida?’
She was dozing on the bench.
