Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 128. The strongest of the academy

returned right before the start of the second semester, so most of the students seemed to have returned. There are only two days left until school starts, but when I see the bustling streets, I feel the realization that I have finally returned.

“ah! Student Adrias.”

When I went to the dormitory management department that manages the dormitory, the supervisor recognized me.

“Did you hear the news?”

“Yes, I just checked.”

“The newly assigned room for student Adrias is Room 313 of the Dersion Dormitory. You can move your luggage now, but would you like some help moving your luggage?”

“no. are you okay.”

“Then, you can move all your luggage and return the key to the ash dormitory right away.”

“All right.”

“And if you see any strange signs, leave the dorm right away and ask for help. There will be guards near the dormitory.”

“Has confirmed.”

Originally, the ash dormitory was a free dormitory.

On the other hand, Dersion was a paid dormitory, but it feels like the room has been upgraded.

After receiving the room key from the headmaster, we headed for the ash dormitory.

I didn’t have much to carry, but it wasn’t like I didn’t have it, so I had to go.

‘Woke up sooner than I expected. It’s not that it’s advanced much, but it’s definitely delayed if it’s delayed. I didn’t expect it to be pulled back.’

Originally, the mysterious events that occur in the ash dormitory happen during the second semester.

In the game, it happens after the midterm evaluation, and that happened under the premise that Kyler would leave a trace.

‘But I erased all traces of Kyler. You can even go after them and kill them. But rather, the incident was brought forward?’

What is certain is that something happened to the master of this case.

Because if it wasn’t for his stimulation, this wouldn’t have happened.

‘Maybe it’s progressing much faster than I expected.’

If so, the incident at the Ash Dormitory was cute.

Due to the nature of this episode, where more bizarre things happen as time goes by, it is also important to find out how far it has progressed.

“Are you done talking about seniors?”

When I came out of the management department, Lucia, who had been waiting for me, looked at me with a curious expression.

“uh.”

“where is it? Newly assigned dormitory.”

“Derzion. It’s a little closer.”

“Iknow, right. Then we can go together.”

I’ve felt it for the past few days, but it seems that Lucia, who has always had a sleepy expression and atmosphere, has become energetic.

Will the disease be cured? You should get used to it gradually.

“I’ll pack some stuff for now.”

“I will help you.”

“When I say luggage, I only have clothes and books. He’ll be back soon, so wait around here.”

Dersion was on the other side, so there was no need to go back and forth to Lucia.

However, Lucia shook her head and inevitably followed me.

“Waiting is boring. Just go with me.”

Still, his eyes were shining brightly.

“And I’m curious. Rumors say there are ghosts, but is it true?”

“It’s not a lie that two people died. I’m sure something strange has happened, so you have to be careful.”

Of course, the reason why the incident happened in the first place in the ash dormitory is probably because of its location.

Even in the game, it always happened here first.

Behind the Ash Dormitory was a mountain named Forest of Golden Foliage.

It was quite large, and it was one of the most popular academy sites because students sometimes climbed mountains and in the fall, the scenery spread out.

‘It’s definitely a place like that… … .’

Hidden Peace No, it’s related to the main episode, so it’s hidden.

Somehow, there was something hidden in that mountain.

This episode was an incident related to that.

‘It’s a setting that the academy officials and professors don’t know about because it existed before the academy was built.’

I wondered if that really makes sense, but what can I do if the game is like that?

Anyway, I had plans to use this episode in my own way, so I had no intention of blocking it.

I think it may cause some damage to students, but try to prevent it as much as possible.

I couldn’t help the two who died first because I couldn’t predict the timing.

Because I don’t know everything.

“There are people who carry luggage like seniors.”

As Lucia said, I could see students who had just returned, like me, carrying their luggage.

He was carrying an enormous amount of luggage with the help of the servants.

There were quite a few students gathered in front of the dormitory.

Everyone seems to have come to see the news of a strange incident, but the guards are restricting entry except for those who want to move their luggage.

“Are you a real ghost?”

“But if it’s a ghost, isn’t it a monster? Isn’t it possible to deal with it with magic?”

“If it’s a powerful ghost, you won’t be able to deal with it at the student level.”

“But the undergraduate professors looked around and there was no trace.”

“That is such a mystery. I want to go in too.”

In general, Rodlen Academy students were so confident in their skills that they often showed such childish behavior.

It’s time to be afraid of nothing. I’ve been through a lot of practice with various evaluations.

But I didn’t care much because I knew the truth of that incident.

You only have to be careful at night anyway, so unless you spend the night in that dormitory, there won’t be any additional victims.

“Hey, did you hear that?”

“what?”

“I heard it by chance a while ago, you know Diane Alven.”

“Senior Diane? Why senior?”

“I heard it was a little strange. Even if I say hello while muttering to myself, he ignores me and walks around… … .”

“You there.”

The students who were chattering at the sudden interruption looked at me.

If I’m not misunderstood, things got a little messy.

“Ah, senior Adrias.”

“Just talk about it in detail.”

It seems that I had something to use my strength as soon as I arrived.

* * *

There was a guest in the newspaper club at Rodlen Academy.

It was Marvin Garrett, a second year student at Vulcan Academy, which is said to be one of the two major mountain ranges in the academy world.

He looked around the room for club activities and said.

“It is also Rodlen Academy.”

“This is nothing. Compared to other major club clubs, it is weak.”

Kram, a 4th year magician who is the head of the Newspaper Club, waved his hand.

“The juniors who will guide you to the academy site will come soon. Until then, please enjoy watching.”

“All right.”

Leaving behind Kram, who left the room, Marvin looked around and looked out the window. The Vulkan Academy he lived in was also famous as a prestigious academy, but compared to the imperial academy, it was inevitable that it was lacking in terms of facilities.

“The site itself is incomparably expansive.”

After looking at the site guide map for a while, Marvin exclaimed when he saw the site on the Faculty of Engineering.

In the case of Vulkan Academy, it was a place where only magic was taught, so the Faculty of Knights was unfamiliar.

I heard that there are many cases where he works with the engineering department students, but Marvin was curious about what activities he was doing.

Just in time, students came in due to insolvency.

“hello. This is Dexter Bright, a freshman in the Faculty of Magic, who will guide you on today’s tour. This guy is Richard Wilson, a freshman in the Faculty of Engineering.”

“Nice to meet you.”

In response to the greetings of the two freshmen, Marvin greeted them face to face.

“Nice to meet you too. My name is Marvin Garrett, a sophomore at Vulcan Academy. I had a chance to tour Rodlen Academy, so please take good care of me.”

Marvin was a member of the newspaper club belonging to Vulcan Academy.

Every year, the students of the academies went on field trips to each other, especially clubs such as the newspaper club often went on field trips as a kind of activity.

“I heard that Vulkan Academy doesn’t have an engineering department. May I introduce you to the engineering department first?”

“of course. I look forward to it.”

Following the students of Rodlen Academy, we went outside and conducted a full-scale field trip.

They got on the Mana Injury Train to the Faculty of Engineering and started talking.

“Then you probably won’t run into each other except during evaluations, right?”

“Except for clubs, that’s how it is. Oh, but there are tournaments, so you can compete there.”

“Come to think of it, I heard that this year’s tournament was very unusual.”

When the topic of the tournament came up, Dexter spoke on behalf of Richard from the Faculty of Engineering, who had been talking.

“Yes! This year, the Faculty of Magic won the championship.”

“Oh oh? Then, it seems that the Faculty of Engineering won the championship in the meantime?”

Richard, not pleased with Dexter’s excitement, immediately interjected.

“It’s been 12 years. Until then, our department of knighthood continued to win the championship. No, not only the championship, but also the runner-up was ours continuously.”

“But this year, and maybe even next year, our magic department will win.”

Seeing the two first graders suddenly fighting, Marvin was interested.

There are two faculties within the academy, so we learn to compete with each other.

‘Is this kind of competitive spirit conducive to growth?’

Marvin watched as he quickly took notes in his notebook.

“Okay. Will we be able to win again next year?”

“You would have known if you had seen the tournament, right? Is there really anyone who can beat Diane-senpai in the Faculty of Engineering?”

“wait a minute. I suddenly wondered, but does Rodlen Academy have a ranking among students?”

After thinking about Marvin’s question for a while, the two shook their heads.

“Not officially.”

“That means… … .”

“There is something that our newspaper department has ranked on its own.”

Just as Dexter and Richard looked into each other’s eyes and nodded, the train just arrived at the Faculty of Engineering.

“also! could i know? As a member of the same newspaper club, I really like topics like this.”

“I just arrived, so I’ll show you.”

At Richard’s words, Marvin tilted his head.

“Will you show me?”

“I have ranked promising players by grade level, and I will go and show them myself. First of all, from the Knights Faculty.”

After following Richard, he headed straight to a training ground near a dormitory.

There were overflowing with people who were training even before school started.

“Oh oh!”

“There is also a personal training room, where we hone our family’s secrets and sword skills, and most of the rest we train here. Working together is efficient and we can give each other advice.”

Richard picked out strong men from the newspaper club among those who were training.

“First of all, first grade. Do you see that girl over there?”

“I see.”

“That student is Serena Estial. She is the youngest daughter of the Marquis of Erestial, and she is one of the top 3 students in the first year.”

“Your strength is amazing.”

I was genuinely amazed to see her doing strength training with a heavy weight.

However, I was surprised by Richard’s words that followed.

“Originally, I used to work out with equipment that was twice as heavy as that, but these days, I changed my training method.”

“double!”

“Serena used a greatsword in an unusual way, but recently, she kept changing the type of sword. Still, if you see how strong it is, you will be amazed that it is one of the top three.”

“The other two rivers, then… … ?”

“Chris Yunor, the son of Marquis Yunor, an Aura Master, is hard to find these days as he only uses his personal training room. I sometimes come out to exercise, but I can’t see it today.”

As Richard explained, Marvin noticed one male student in particular.

A man with brown hair and blue eyes.

Even though he was wearing light armor, his slender body showed off his small muscles.

Even just by looking at the outside, I instinctively felt the intuition of a great strongman.

“That person… … .”

“You know right away. He is the last of the three, or to be honest, Louis Atman, who is called the strongest freshman.”

“The best in 1st grade. By any chance, how much would that be if it were considered as a whole?”

Marvin’s innocent question left Richard speechless for a moment.

Then Dexter, who was next to him, spoke instead.

“Our newspaper department is estimating that it will be in the top five as a whole.”

“her! That’s great. Didn’t you say you were in first grade?”

“Louis Atman is out of the question as a genius who broke all previous records at the Monas Academy.”

Marvin nodded his head at Dexter’s words, which he rated highly despite not being in the same engineering department.

“You said it was the top 3, so what level are the other two people excluding Lewis?”

“Except for Louis, the other two are just fine. Overall, I’d still barely make it in the top 30. It’s actually more like 1st and 2nd, rather than 3rd.”

“At that level of difference, that student is exceptionally great.”

After that, explanations about the 2nd and 3rd years of the Faculty of Engineering continued, but there was no one as shiny as Lewis.

“One of the four heavenly kings in the third year… … .”

“uh? hey hey There Vivian Velocan!”

Dexter shouted at Richard, who had been explaining for a while.

Then Richard stopped explaining and looked at Vivian leisurely passing by.

“Vivian Velocan? Could it be that the tournament runner-up?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Oh oh.”

I knew the name of the tournament runner-up.

Laudelen Academy’s Spring Tournament was so influential that other countries paid attention to it.

‘It’s beautiful.’

I thought it would be a bit more rambunctious to be called the runner-up of the tournament, but it was neat. It was unbelievable to see the muscular bodies of those who are working out in the gym now that they even won the runner-up with that slender body.

‘Well, isn’t the body everything?’

It may be that he is excellent at handling mana.

Still, it was surprising that I didn’t feel that I was strong just by watching it with Louis Atman.

“Our academy official ranking 2nd place Vivian senior.”

She could see that the haze in Richard’s eyes was firmly in her.

“I don’t feel anything compared to the student I just saw, Louis Atman.”

“Still, in terms of skills, Vivian senior is at the top.”

“is that so?”

“yes. I even sparred myself, so that’s for sure.”

“Dalian! Did student Vivian Velokan win?”

“Yes.”

This is another piece of information I didn’t know.

In fact, I knew the story about Louis Atman. I just never actually saw it.

But it was the first time I knew that Vivian had sparred with Louise.

‘I’m glad you came.’

Again, this information must be obtained locally.

Since they could later lead the continent, the character analysis of Rodlen Academy students was essential for the newspaper department.

“I endured quite a bit, but in the end Vivian sunbaenim won lightly. Of course, Lewis is also great for a freshman, but there are speculations that Vivian is stronger than most knights on active duty.”

“Hoo.”

In the case of the senior class students, it was difficult to see them, so after checking all the people worth seeing in the Knights Faculty, they moved to the Magic Faculty.

Coincidentally, the Faculty of Magic was in a very noisy state due to a strange incident.

After hearing the explanation, Marvin also showed curiosity.

“It is a very strange case.”

“We also wanted to investigate, but it’s not easy because it’s a case where there was a loss of life.”

When told that not even Rodlene’s students can do their own research, Marvin regrets it, but suppresses his curiosity.

“Rather than that, are there any students from the Faculty of Magic who are ranked or are there promising ones?”

“of course!”

Dexter shouted as if he had been waiting.

Looking at Richard, he raised his shoulders as if he was proud of something and explained.

“To be honest, there are not as many talented people as in the Engineering Department. Even in the first year of the Faculty of Magic, there are students who are called the 3rd class, but they are shabby compared to the Faculty of Knights. Sophomore year is at the same level.”

Having said that, Dexter smiled broadly.

“But from the third grade, the story is different. In the third year, Lucia Everlast… … .”

“Lucia senior didn’t even participate in the tournament, so do you have anything to evaluate?”

Dexter glared at Richard, who suddenly intervened.

Richard casually shrugged at him.

“why? is it true Of course, it’s true that Lucia-senpai is called a genius, but that’s all within the Faculty of Magic. To be honest, I didn’t even participate in the tournament, so I didn’t even get ranked in the newspaper department.”

“That’s right.”

Dexter struggled to admit, and Marvin shook his hand.

“Well, being a wizard isn’t just for combat, is it? Even if you are not strong, you can change the world through research and experiments.”

“Our Magic Faculty is the real 4th grader.”

Dexter looked at Richard again, as if he wanted to retort.

But this time Richard also turned his head away as if he had nothing to say.

“No. 1 in the official ranking! There is senior Diane Alven. A genius wizard who beat even seniors, and an elite of combat magic who gave the Faculty of Magic a championship in 12 years.”

“Hey, you’re right there.”

Richard raised his hand to indicate that there really was Diane Alven standing there.

She stood still on the side of the road, staring into the air and muttering to herself.

“oh! That’s Diene Alven! I wanted to meet you once.”

“Let’s go and say hello to Senior Diane. She’s a kind person, so she’ll accept the conversation.”

As expected, there were quite a few people gathered around Diene.

As a celebrity, it was inevitable that people would gather.

“But it is.”

“Say yes.”

“The two of you said earlier that it was an official ranking, but are you saying that there is also an unofficial ranking?”

“Oh that… … .”

At that time, the talkative Diane’s surroundings became quiet.

Marvin and the newspaper staff looked around at the suddenly chilled atmosphere and air.

“ah… … .”

Richard opened his mouth involuntarily.

There, a man with black, rust-tinged hair was approaching with an expressionless expression.

An old sword that didn’t match the magician’s robes was stuffed at his side.

“That person… … ?”

A cold, sticky aura enveloped the surroundings.

A man who overwhelms the atmosphere around him just by appearing.

Dexter swallowed and barely opened his mouth at the sight of the man who was wearing a sword but was confused as to which department he belonged to because he was wearing a robe.

“No. 1 in the unofficial ranking.”

Marvin’s eyes widened at Dexter’s words… … .

Richard nodded softly.

“Adrias Cromwell.”
