Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits - Chapter 269

Strongest Necromancer with Evolution Attribute (269)

Professor

“Please take good care of me!”

The guy who knocked on the office and came in was Adam, a year my junior.

He was a student who graduated last year and knew that he was a classmate of Lucia.

“name is.”

But I’ll have to pretend I don’t know.

“iced coffee! I should have introduced the cow first. Excuse me! My name is Adam Taylor, who became Professor Adrias’ assistant professor of magic this year!”

“Is he Count Taylor’s son? Did you graduate last year?”

“That’s right!”

“Originally, I should have entered the tower, but it’s a pity.”

“no! Rather, it is an honor to be able to join Professor Adrias as an assistant professor!”

“After all, he’s a senior in a year, so he’s comfortable with it. I have no intention of treating you so harshly as long as you separate the good and the bad.”

“I see, Professor.”

As a professor… … .

It’s such an awkward title.

The tower in the imperial palace was closed after we left.

It wasn’t a permanent closure, but at least this year it banned entry.

‘This year’s graduates and Lucia suffered a loss.’

Lucia, who should have been rewarded from the tower in the first place, also suffered from this shutdown.

The reward that comes out is random every time, so I don’t know what I got, but considering the future episodes, it was a pitiful loss of power.

In particular, the compensation I received was the best ever, so it was even more comparable.

“This is my escort knight and assistant swordsman instructor, Vivian Belokan.”

“I have heard of it! Nice to meet you, senior Vivian!”

Adam Taylor was a guy whose strong point was his round personality.

I remember that I was able to pass the 4th dimension Lucia well.

I was lucky to get an assistant professor.

“Adam, you can use that seat from now on.”

“thank you!”

In general, being an assistant professor of magic at the academy was one of the courses to enter the Mage Tower.

Those whose talents are recognized, such as Diene and Lucia, are scouted by the Mage Tower immediately after graduation, but before that, most of them become assistant professors or work under wizards subordinate to the territory.

Among them, especially for the position of assistant professor at Rodlen Academy, competition was fierce.

It means that even Adam, who looks a little stupid, is a talented person who survived the fierce competition.

“The professor.”

“… … .”

“Professor Adrias?”

you were calling me

I wasn’t used to being called a professor yet.

“why?”

“I was wondering if there was a schedule for the future. I have to prepare for the lecture in advance, and I have to find a venue and agree with other professors… … .”

“For now, I don’t have any plans this week.”

I said while reading the book I was reading.

“Yes?”

“There is no schedule. At least, as long as the students don’t come looking for me.”

“A free map. okay.”

Adam nodded as if he understood.

The conversation was interrupted for a moment, and Adam raised his hand again as he finished reading the book.

“That professor.”

“Ask me at once.”

“Sorry. that’s it… … .”

Adam asked cautiously, looking left and right as if he was a bit troubled.

“What can I do?”

“You have to find out for yourself. You are no longer a student.”

“That’s right. haha.”

“Like I said, I have nothing to do right now. So, do some personal research.”

“Is that okay?”

“then? What are you doing?”

Adam, who was momentarily dazed at my words, nodded.

“Thank you.”

“It’s nothing to be thankful for. Oh, and since I’m an assistant professor, I should be a professor too. If I’m not busy, you can always ask for advice or help with magic. Even so, I’m not very good at it.”

“Oh no! Adrias senior’s graduation thesis has been reviewed by me more than 100 times!”

It seemed that he didn’t notice how quickly he spoke, even though he said he was a senior.

Since the graduation thesis was made by Diene and Lucia, it must be perfect.

“I was still conducting research on the concept of ‘control’. Analysis of this new origin has been the hottest topic in magic academia, let alone the Empire these days, and it is an honor to have an authority look into it!”

I guess you’re overestimating me too much.

In order not to disappoint his expectations, there might be an opportunity to get help from Diene nearby.

“Then right now… … !”

smart!

What interrupted Adam’s words was the sound of a knock on the door.

It was fortunate for me.

“who are you?”

Adam did not forget his duty.

The answer came straight from the other side of the door to his question.

“This is Morgan.”

“Come on in.”

The first guest in the office was Morgan, an academy employee under the direct control of the principal.

He opened the door and came in and greeted me with a friendly face.

“Professor Adrias. I really did not expect to see you again like this.”

“I still find the title of professor awkward.”

“haha. You will gradually get used to it.”

He waved his hand as I tried to guide him to a seat.

“I came only to deliver the words of Principal Deos, so I have to go again urgently.”

“okay.”

“There was a word that I would like Professor Adrias to participate in the seminar tomorrow.”

“If it’s a seminar… … .”

“This is a seminar for new students of the Faculty of Magic. Professor Kaylin, Professor Silvecque, and Professor Tolman participate.”

I knew.

Nevertheless, what I asked back was to say how to prepare for the seminar with only two days left.

“I heard there are only two days left.”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry. All the lectures were prepared by the other professors, and Professor Adrias just sits there.”

Is it a face or a beach?

You don’t have to refuse.

“All right.”

“Then, knowing that, I will leave.”

Morgan must have been really busy, so he just said what he had to say and withdrew in an instant.

Adam asked softly as he left.

“If it’s a seminar, other Mage Towers will come, right?”

“I guess. This is Rodlen Academy.”

“Of course Rodlene’s tower will also participate, right?”

“uh.”

Looking at your expression, I love it. I die. I die.

When Morgan left, it was quiet again for a while.

Adam said he hadn’t brought all his stuff yet and left to get it, while Vivian was just staring at my face from the side.

It’s peaceful.

“Another guest.”

said Vivian, looking towards the door.

Judging by the footsteps, I guessed it was Serena.

smart.

“come in.”

By the time I was in my senior year, I was busy writing my thesis and making original magic, and last year I couldn’t pay attention because of the time I spent in the tower and the time I spent reorganizing after coming out.

It’s like I haven’t been able to take care of it for 2 years, but now I was curious about how much the trio had grown in 4th grade.

“Hello professor.”

The one who entered as I expected was Serena Estial.

Unlike two years ago, she seemed to have a sharper body shape, but the coat on her shoulder and the armband hanging from the coat stood out.

“Serena, long time no see.”

“Professor is still the same.”

It seems that somehow the atmosphere has changed a little?

In the past, he was embarrassed by me, but he grew up?

“so. What’s the matter?”

“I came right after hearing what you said in the auditorium.”

Serena waved the sword at her waist slightly.

“I will prove myself and receive guidance.”

“Are you confident?”

“yes.”

also changed

It wasn’t a bad change in my opinion, so I was just happy.

“I thought the first week would pass quietly, but something happened right from the start.”

“Do you like it?”

“No, I am rather happy. I would have been disappointed if at least one of you hadn’t come.”

“Looking at it now, the professor has changed a little. You know how to joke like that.”

“I used to be like this.”

The silly jokes were over.

I immediately closed the book and got up to take Galaksur.

“Go to the gymnasium.”

* * *

My office was located in the Faculty of Magic.

Apparently, I was from the Faculty of Magic, and my graduation thesis played a big role.

Thanks to this, the road to the gymnasium was packed with people.

“Professor Adrias.”

“Are you with the student council president?”

“The escort driver behind me is also a senior who graduated the year before that?”

Due to the nature of the academy, as the grade goes up, the number of students decreases, so there were more students seeing me for the first time than those who knew me.

Thanks to that, unlike before, I saw a lot of students who were full of sympathy, but thanks to Serena next to me, nothing unpleasant happened.

“Come to think of it, I heard the student council has gotten a bit stronger lately?”

“Yes, it happened because I did it.”

“I got out. The you I knew was at the bottom of the student council.”

“That was when I was a freshman.”

It wasn’t that the gymnasium wasn’t on the grounds of the Faculty of Magic, but I dared to come to the Faculty of Knights.

Serena wasn’t the only one I needed to see.

Ohhh!

When we finally arrived at the gymnasium, there were already quite a few students.

It seems that rumors have already spread, and I could see some of those who were already in their seats.

“President Serena, cheer up!”

“Aja aja!”

Enthusiastic cheers and support were like a spring tournament.

The freshness and strange tension flowing through it just felt cute.

“Let’s start with sparring lightly.”

“All right.”

Serena set down the coat from her shoulder.

Then he slowly began to draw his sword.

I don’t know how much my skills have improved, so it’s a bit ambiguous to relax.

“Vivian, my extra sword, please.”

“huh.”

Galaksur’s cutting power was ambiguous to use in sparring because it competed for the top among named items.

However, Serena, who saw that, had a bad expression, probably thinking that she was being ignored.

“Remove your face.”

“… … I’m not the kid I used to be, Professor.”

“I know. If I hadn’t known, I would have picked up a training sword, not a real sword.”

Those words sparked Serena’s attack on me.

Kang!

“good.”

A surprise attack aimed at breathing.

not bad.

The surroundings were enveloped in silence.

I could feel that even the cheering students were concentrating on us with tense expressions when the sparring started.

Slowly—.

Chaeeng!

Serena’s attack was simple but quick.

In addition, the seemingly flawless group began to emerge as if she had absorbed them well.

“under.”

Seeing Serena’s growth, I sighed involuntarily.

It was the first time I knew that even when I was happy, I could sigh.

Chun!

Serena vomited everything with all her might.

The sword, which I thought was simple, sometimes showed irregular movements, and sometimes tried to cut the texture of my movements along the flow of perfection.

‘Is this your interpretation?’

With a feeling of pride filling my heart, Serena suddenly blocked my sword strongly and stepped back.

Uh-uh—.

Her sword started to cry.

“It’s out!”

Someone shouted while watching Serena like that, and I saw others watching with anticipation.

“come.”

I didn’t interrupt her preparations.

I just hung my sword and waited for something to come.

Peeing-.

Her sword approached at a speed that even I almost missed.

However, my genius-level swordsmanship talent instinctively read even her sword.

Fain!

With a sound like a drum exploding, Serena bounced out.

It sounded pretty loud for a blow with the side of a sword.

“ah?”

“What happened?”

Even those who were seated jumped up and tried to figure out what had just happened.

But no one could explain it.

“It is not over yet.”

Serena woke up looking fine.

You’ll actually be fine. Because I hit you with power.

“okay.”

“… … ha.”

Despair flashed in Serena’s eyes at my calm reply.

Did you show too big a gap?

In fact, if it was the way it was originally, it wouldn’t have been if there was a big difference between Serena’s skill and mine.

However, due to an unexpected relationship with the tower, I, who had learned the martial arts of the Namgung family, went up another level.

It was one of the best martial arts in that world, so it’s natural if it’s natural.

“Do you think the gap hasn’t decreased?”

“… … .”

“You should have already known that you are not the only one running in this world by watching Louis or Chris.”

As much as I tried myself, the other person is working hard too.

So don’t be careless.

“I know. But at least… … .”

Serena slowly inserted her sword.

“I wanted to surprise you.”

“I was surprised enough.”

It wasn’t a lie, it was real.

I always tried to take care of him with the compulsion that I had to watch him by my side, but in the end, it was surprising that he had grown so well without me.

“I couldn’t keep up with your speed for a moment. I almost blocked it by instinct.”

“… … Really?”

“You must be feeling it vaguely too?”

Serena must have felt it too, but it seemed that she wasn’t sure.

And Serena, who finally put her mind at my words, smiled.

“ha. I’ve grown up, right?”

“okay. Now Louis or Chris will win too?”

“Sorry, but not that.”

Serena smiled bitterly and turned her head.

“It’s finally here. I wondered why it didn’t come.”

“Serena Estial.”

I didn’t care if Lewis or Chris came.

The one in front of me right now is Serena.

It was not enough to just focus on her.

When I called her name forcefully, her gaze returned to mine.

To her, I spoke clearly.

“You deserve my free guidance.”

“… … yes.”

“My free map is not for everyone.”

At my words, Serena nodded.

“You mean I acknowledged it.”

“iced coffee… … .”

Her expression was stained with joy.
