Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 851
– The right to challenge Balak. It seems that the time has come to take back the position of student president.
About two hours before Simon meets with the headquarters staff.
Prior to that Simon had met one person first.
– I have something to tell you is that okay?
It was Leonard the representative of the 3rd year Summoning Department who called Simon upon arriving at the dormitory.
He had a friendly smile on his lips as always but Simon was a little nervous. He thought he was talking about the recent Merida and Chatel affair.
However as it turned out it was a different business than Simon expected.
-Do you remember what we said before? I’ll let you make an appointment to meet with the 2nd place in 3rd grade.
-ah!
2nd place overall in 3rd grade that I only heard rumors about.
If you look at it he was a person who might be the key to this student president’s competition.
– Grimoire is looking for you.
* * *
Simon traveled with Leonard to meet the very second overall.
We arrived at the Kizen campus library.
There were a lot of students because it was the time before the midterm exams. It was hard to find an empty seat and it took quite a while to get into the library from the entrance.
‘Is it okay if I talk about something important here? There are so many people?’
Simon looked around anxiously. Leonard on the other hand opened her mouth with her nonchalant face.
“Actually every time I met Grimoire I hinted at him a few words but he didn’t seem interested. Recently I think he wants to meet you to see if he’s interested in something.”
“Ah yes. I see.”
“This way.”
Simon and Leonard passed through a field crowded with students studying for exams and came to the end of a library full of old books and documents.
There weren’t many students here with bookshelves that reached up to the ceiling and were filled with old books.
“Don’t miss it and follow me from behind.”
“yes.”
Leonard walked briskly among the innumerable bookshelves and collections and Simon followed closely behind. He thought something was wrong but he returned to the bookshelf he had seen earlier.
‘Are you going round and round in the same area?’
Leonard’s expression was serious so it didn’t look like he was joking.
Soon Simon noticed a strange phenomenon. He was just circling the same place over and over again as it got darker around him. The students who had been visible one by one became almost invisible and a silence so heavy that even the sound of turning books could not be heard fell.
“I waited for Grimoire’s curse to come. I have to do this to meet her.”
side world.
As if entering a mirror the letters and direction of the old books were established in the direction of looking into the mirror. The world was bathed in a gloomy light and the library was enveloped in bleak silence.
“All right.”
A few more laps later Don Leonard beckoned.
“Now let’s go see Grimoire.”
end of the library.
The library which was full of students studying had turned into an empty place. Surprised Simon only blinked his eyes.
‘What kind of dark magic is this?’
The use of black magic without permission is prohibited on campus.
However if students and even professors often come in and out of the Kizen Library they must have the confidence and skills that they will never be found out if they are hiding with this kind of black magic.
Simon looked around and looked out the window. It was not the usual sky or Kizen Campus. It is a world sprinkled with dizzying colors.
“It’s better not to look out the window.”
Leonard advised.
“Because I might go crazy or go crazy. Oh he’s just sitting there.”
Simon was taken aback.
On top of the darkened library bookshelves out of nowhere owls settled down and stared at us.
And in the middle a woman sitting as if leading owls.
Instead of a school uniform he was wearing a black mat and underneath was bare legs and bare soles. A teacup with black steam rising was placed on her lap and a hood connected to a mat was pressed down on her head.
‘This is the person.’
This gloomy female student is the 2nd overall Grimoire in the 3rd year.
She said that she was ranked second overall but she was not the department representative. She didn’t even join the seminary student council this time so I wondered if she was someone who wasn’t interested in high positions.
“Wait.”
her mouth was open
“Simon Pollentia.”
It’s a rather cold and strange voice as if it wasn’t human. When she gestured her table and two chairs appeared as if they had always been there.
Simon bowed lightly and sat down. Leonard also sat down next to him and sighed lightly.
“I’ll just see you in a comfortable place so why did you call me to a place that gives you motion sickness?”
“Eyes of those who watch are everywhere.”
By replying like that she dismissed Leonard’s complaints and stared at Simon.
“You seem to have something to say to me too.”
“….”
Simon didn’t deny it.
After quietly opening the subspace I took out a cursed doll and set it down in front of me.
“Is this what you did?”
A hair of Simon’s head was tied to a cursed doll made of rice straw. A nail is stuck in the middle.
It wasn’t even that long ago. Before crossing the border when Simon took a test for divine defense someone used a cursed doll to disturb Simon. After that Simon kept looking for who was doing it.
“Right. I did.”
She didn’t even deny it.
Simon who was going to engage in psychological warfare if he pretended not to know was a little dazed and Leonard frowned.
“What? I haven’t heard of that.”
“I have no reason to tell you everything Leonard.”
“Grimoire!”
“Quiet in the library.”
She grabbed the long hood and pulled it slightly toward her forehead.
Simon asked again.
“May I ask why you interrupted me then?”
“Because you shouldn’t fight Balak.”
Her crimson eyes twinkled.
“If you go through various processes and get your hands on the Death Knight you will eventually challenge Balak. About that part Sota Psyche and I agreed.”
“What are you talking about? That’s a different story!”
When Leonard jumped up from his seat and shouted she raised the tip of her index finger.
Suddenly the desk behind it rotated and flipped Leonard’s body over to the other side. Simon felt Leonard’s presence and pitch darkness completely disappear.
“Be quiet in the library. Never say it twice.”
She lowered her hand and stared at Simon.
“Because it’s noisy the interrupter left for a while. Let’s continue the conversation.”
Simon felt his heart race.
‘No matter how much it’s my domain I can’t help Leonard-senpai that easily…!’
An unexpected encounter with Grimoire.
I broke out in a cold sweat but I shouldn’t panic. Simon said calmly.
“You said I shouldn’t fight Balak. I wonder why you say that.”
“Fight Balak and you will die.”
She closed her eyes and continued.
“Is there any countermeasure against secret writing?”
“Cancer?”
“It is the worst evil that Balak harbors the secret of death. It cannot be avoided or prevented.”
she raised her hand An old-looking ‘crystal ball’ appeared in her hand where the teacup had just been held.
“It seems that Balak has already used the Secret Book on you once.”
The crystal ball reflected Simon and Balak fighting.
Simon of course remembered.
Last semester in the last fight with Balak who appeared after defeating Eisel it was the moment when each other’s attacks were about to reach each other’s throats.
The metal mask Balak always wore had turned to ashes and something terrible was rising up his gaping throat.
It looked far from any elements or life forms that existed in this world and was a primary-colored snake of darkness that seemed to be woven from a group of anglerfish.
-You’re out of your mind Ballack.
Of course in the very next scene the professors invaded the duel and in particular Bahil a professor of curse studies blocked the black magic himself.
“Yes the technique you almost got hit with is a secret weapon.”
Grimoire who made the crystal ball disappear said.
“What is a cancer letter?”
“It’s complicated to explain but to put it simply it’s death itself that takes the life of the target it hits.”
She slowly closed her eyes.
“I don’t know if the rumor that Balak killed the ‘Ark Paladin’ is true or not but it would have been possible to kill him if he had used the secret book while he was careless. It seems like it but he must have paid a hefty price.”
She saw Simon.
“Professor Keyzen is like that but you can’t stop the secret practice.”
“….”
Simon straightened up and sat down.
“But if I use the challenge this time I’ll be fighting in a place where many people are watching. I wonder if Balak will use such a technique…”
“Are you willing to risk your life for the mercy and complacency of the enemy?”
Simon’s eyebrows twitched. Grimoire continued.
“At that time there was a pretext that professors prevented duels that were not permitted in advance but this time it is different. More than anything Balak is more than you think. He has a different way of thinking than normal humans.”
The reason Balak hasn’t written a secret book so far is because most of the students who challenged him have fallen in the line of Balak’s deadly poison magic she said.
At that time the only person who could pierce deadly poison magic was Azel during the school year but Balak also valued the match with Azel so he did not use the secret book against him even if he was defeated.
But Simon is different. She had already written a secret book with the intention of killing Simon once and it was her opinion that the next time it would be used at a more certain moment so that no one would interfere.
“Give up the challenge Simon Pollentia. If you fight him you will die.”
Hearing this Simon smiled kindly.
“I understand what you mean.”
“then….”
“That said you can’t just listen to people you don’t know well and give up without fighting the opponent.”
If it’s a diagonal line it’s over enough.
Whether as a corps commander or as a student out of the countless enemies he’d met so far there were more of them aiming for Simon’s neck.
It’s the same now.
Simon got up from his seat.
“Of course I will listen to the senior’s warning. I will prepare a countermeasure against cancer. But I won’t give up just because you stop me.”
he turned his back and went back Grimoire who was silent for a moment spoke.
“for a moment.”
Simon stopped.
“I have the countermeasure against the secret book.”
“….”
“I’ll help you. I’m the one who knows the secret book next to Balak.”
Simon turned and looked back at her.
“Why are you trying to help me?”
She closed her eyes.
“Two years ago I was the one who helped bring out the secret book that had been dwelling in Balak’s body and helped him use it.”
“…!”
“Even though I know for sure that my junior will die from cancer I feel remorse no matter how much I leave it alone.”
As she moved her hand a large staff came out.
“Instead I also have a condition. If you defeat Balak swear to do my favor.”
At her words Simon straightened up.
“First of all can I know what that request is?”
* * *
After that incident Simon announced to the Kizen Headquarters staff that he would use the right to challenge Balak.
The headquarters staff agreed with Simon but asked for Simon’s understanding explaining that it would take time to return and maintain as Balak is currently carrying out the school’s duties from outside.
According to the story of the head office staff the time of about 2 to 3 weeks. He said that it would be better to think about the end of the midterm exams in the second semester. Simon also had to study for the exam and above all he needed a little time to master the Death Knight’s controls so he readily agreed.
And the very next day the news that Simon had used the right to challenge was widely spread throughout the school.
-Simon Pollentia has finally moved!
-They declared a challenge to Balak! He lit the fire directly from the vanguard!
Simon had just requested a duel according to his schedule but it was like pouring oil on the pyre unwillingly.
The entire second year started to burn.
– We can’t sit still!
The prelude to the application for an indiscriminate duel in the school has risen.
