Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

“Woah, woah! We actually hunted it! Wahahaha!”

“You guys are the best!”

The other three came running.

Everything went just as planned! On that, everyone pulled off their roles well.
Group 7 embraced each other and ran all over the place, savoring the joy.

[Congratulations on clearing, Group 7.]

Jane’s comments continued.

She pointed out that there was a strong tendency to rely on the ability of one summoner, and the length of hunting time was too long, but overall, it was favorable comments.

They decided to raise the mastery of Dark Flare and Curses as much as possible during the rest of the time and the weekend.

“Thank you, Professor!”

As they walked out of the training room, some students applauded them.
There were a lot of envious stares too.

It took quite a while, but at least they hunted the Cyclops.

“Wooh, Simon! As expected from my rival! Well done!”

Cindy Vivace came over and raised her hand.
As Simon also spread his fingers with a smiling face, she high-fived him loudly.

‘That hurts.’

Simon asked while shaking his hands off,

“Did your group make it?”

“Of course! It was easy after I got the feeling of ghosting!”

If Group 7 was to the extent where Meilyn was the core, Group 5 was really all-in on Cindy Vivace.

She turned into a ghosting state that was immune to any physical attacks, dodging the Cyclops’ attacks, and then returned and repeated slashing with the jet-black scythe that her teammates had made.

They succeeded in hunting the Cyclops without difficulty.

“By the way, Simon, weren’t you a Necromancy aspirant?”

“……I said I’m not.”

While everyone was exchanging stories in a friendly atmosphere, only Hector, who was taking a break after finishing the simulation, had a turbulent glow light up in his eyes.

Contrary to the popular notoriety about Kizen, Simon was enjoying the best days in his life at Kizen.

The classes of Kizen’s professors were tough, but it was without a doubt fun.

Talking about performance assessment while chatting with friends during break time, running to eat the limited menu Rick found during lunch break, going to the library in spare time, and getting tutored by Pier about undead management was all just fun.

In Curses, the frequency of Professor Bahil accommodating Simon increased significantly.
Meilyn now had second thoughts about what Rick said.

‘Is Professor Bahil actually in favor of Simon?’

Of course, Simon shook his head. 

He had poor grades in Curses, and he fell behind in practical activities because he had no prior learning.
He couldn’t find any reason why a person like Bahil, a fan of meritocracy, would favor him.

“Today’s class ends here.
Have a great weekend.”

“Thank you for your work!”

With Eric’s Mechanics of Jet-Black as their last class, another week ended safely.

PR/n: We’ve changed ‘Epidemiology of Jet-Black’ to ‘Mechanics of Jet-Black’ after learning more about the class and finding the latter name more fitting.

Tomorrow was finally the weekend!

The students were making plans to hang out at Rochest with excited faces.

“How pathetic.”

Seeing the students in a cheerful atmosphere, Meilyn grumbled while packing her things.

“How can they think of hanging out in Rochest when the Cyclops performance assessment is next week? They’re hopeless idiots.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Rick, who was sitting down in a chair, giggled as he supported the back of his head with his hands.

“Aren’t you actually just being petulant because Cami got asked out, but no one’s asking the ace of the Ivory tower to hang out?”

“Hey!!”

The two started arguing today too, and as Rick said, Camibarez was asked to go out of the classroom by a male student.

Even Simon thought she deserved a lot of popularity.

A cute appearance, a gentle personality, being kind, and smiling at everyone.
There’s no way that male students would just leave her be.

Just then, Camibarez, who had just been asked out, ran back into the classroom.

“Cami! How did it go?”

Quickly asked Rick.

“Uhm……”

She spoke in a faint voice with her face flushed red.

“I’m sorry for him…… But I refused……”

“As expected!”

Meilyn’s agitated face became 200% brighter.

“Cami is thoughtful after all! You’ll stay with us on weekends to practice, right?”

“Ah, yes! I realized that I fell short during the simulation, so…… I want to practice with you all.”

After answering like that, Camibarez moved her eyes and looked at Simon’s face.

Then, when she met Simon’s eyes, she was startled and quickly looked down.

“I’m sorry but~ I’ll pass.
Quite busy with my business schedule.”

Said Rick while shrugging.

Meilyn glared at him, but she didn’t say anything more than that.
For Rick, who aimed to become a merchant, the weekend schedule was as important as a class.

Meilyn, with her arms folded, turned toward Simon this time.

“Simon, don’t tell me that you also have plans on your weekend like that idiot there?”

Simon felt a prick of conscience with Meilyn’s question.
He planned to go to the ruins to see Pier on the weekend.

“……Tomorrow might be hard, but I’ll participate in the training the day after tomorrow.”

“Oh, gee! Even you? Don’t you know that your role is the most important in this performance assessment?”

Simon quickly waved his hand in denial. 

“I’m not just going there to play.
I’m gonna do my personal training.”

“Personal training?”

“Yeah.
There’s someone in Rochest who looks after my Summoning studies.”

Meilyn blinked in surprise.

“Oh, you got a weekend tutor? So you were aware that you’re lacking in prior learning, huh?”

“W-Well, yeah.”

Camibarez, who had been lowering her head sullenly, suddenly raised her head.

“St-Still, you’ll see us at Kizen the day after tomorrow, right?”

“Yeah.
I still have to sync with you guys.” 

“What a relief!”

“Hey, Rick! At least come that night too.”

“I don’t know how it’ll turn out, but I’ll try.”

“You really act so busy.”

“You’re a sad woman for being so free on the weekend, Meilyn.”

“Just die!”

Seeing the two of them fighting, Simon laughed out loud.
At the same time, he was contemplating the weekend plans in his head.

‘There are only a few days left until the actual battle.’

Simon was going to train really hard with Pier this weekend.

Actually, he didn’t tell the other members of the group, but Simon’s goal this time wasn’t at the level of buying time with the undead.

‘Defeat the Cyclops with a skeleton.’

Simon was planning something that none of the Summoning aspirants of Class A could even dare to do.
