I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 121

121. First Lecture

Late night.

Owen is already asleep on my bed, breathing lightly. It started late, and it must have been difficult for Owen, who was still young, to endure.

Still, he tried to focus on his own, and it was particularly admirable that he tried to put at least one field related to the soul into his head.

Of course, Finden Eye didn’t come back after running away.

She’s probably going back to her room and sleeping.

Erica, who listened to the lecture until the end, was organizing the things she felt in her own way.

“As expected, the satisfaction level of the lecture itself was quite high, probably because it was unfamiliar knowledge. It makes me want to hear it again.”

“Yes.”

“But I think you are trying to give a lot of information in a very short period of time. That’s why I won’t be a teacher for long. You have to exercise a little judo.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s lecture time, but it’s not necessary to just lecture. Especially since you’re a warlock, you mean there must be students who are nervous?”

That was right.

She actually said that she was most worried about dealing with such students.

I need to learn, but can I concentrate properly if I’m afraid of the professor?

I can’t even see the blackboard properly.

“That’s why it’s okay to relax with an icebreaker or something like a joke.”

“… ….”

Do I really think I can do that? She said Erica, and then, thinking that this was not the case, she crossed her arms for a moment and pondered, then she opened her mouth again.

“Otherwise, it would be okay to tell the story of what you went through. I’ve been through a lot of incidents during this vacation, so I’ll focus on those things or cool my head for a while.”

“Hmm.”

“Alternatively, giving the students something to eat or something they might like during the lecture would be quite helpful.”

I thought it would be a good method. Honestly, Erica’s advice was quite helpful.

“Thank you, it was very helpful.”

Erika smiled softly when she honestly expressed her gratitude.

“What is this? Rather than that, I liked seeing you sincerely try to be a professor.”

I didn’t bother to answer.

Since I work for money, I also thought about doing my best, and since there are a lot of main and supporting characters in the academy, my lectures will be of some help.

“Hey, by the way.”

Erika hesitated for a moment. Erica opened and closed her mouth several times, as if she had something difficult to say, but eventually she made eye contact with me and she said.

“What is the identity of a student named Arya Rias?”

I never thought the story of Aria would come out of her mouth.

“She met the boy this summer vacation. Dante? It’s an unfamiliar group, but I fought together against the warlocks belonging there.”

“You mean?”

“Yes, in Rometiu Forest. I was looking for a spirit there with the intention of learning the spirit magic you told me about.”

I definitely wanted to feel a unique energy beside her, but was it a spirit?

Anyway, Erica seemed to have grown a step further than before.

“I saw Arya there. Starting with killing people without hesitation, to you…… He was showing an unusual obsession.”

“… ….”

“Of course I want to follow your wishes, but I am also a professor, Deius.”

Erica made a firm declaration about Arya with her fists clenched.

“You can’t have a dangerous kid at the academy who won’t even kill for a professor.”

Because I also agreed with that statement.

I replied with a small nod.

“Yes, I will take care of that child.”

“…… Call me if you need any help. Still, I am… Medicine, because she is a married woman.”

Erika stutters and dares to point it out. The reaction was strange, but I didn’t bother.

“Yes, when the time comes, please.”

Then Erica gave her a bright smile that she only shows in private situations.

“Yes!”

“Wow, this is my first time listening to a lecture in the auditorium.”

“There are all grades, not just the first grade, right?”

“Don’t make eye contact with seniors.”

A large auditorium where Deius’ lecture is about to begin. Most of the students of the academy were gathered here because any student who applied for a joint lecture for all grades could listen.

Just as first graders watch their seniors, sophomores and juniors are also paying attention, but first of all, the professors standing behind the auditorium.

Since the lectures at this time were expected to be concentrated in one place, except for the liberal arts, almost all the professors were preparing to come and listen to Professor Deius’ lecture.

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

“It’s black magic. To be honest, I am still reluctant.”

“Well, it’s because His Majesty directly recognized him. It must be different from what we knew.”

“Come to think of it, Professor Gideon isn’t here?”

“Oh, yes. The Geronia family talked a lot, so you took a vacation.”

A situation where even normally decent professors can’t stand it and gossip among themselves.

In particular, Erica, who is known as Deus’ fiancée, was being looked at with envy and envy, but unlike the innocent smile she showed last night, she looked towards the auditorium with her arms folded as cold as ice. There was.

It wasn’t just the 2nd and 3rd graders who were only paying attention to the professors.

Of course, in the first year, there was a giant among giants.

Even though there is a pen and paper for some reason, Eleanor is not scribbling and staring at the auditorium.

Everybody was trying hard not to look that way for fear of making a mistake with the princess of this kingdom.

Aria waits next to Eleanor with her eyes wide open as well.

Sometimes the two girls were waiting for Professor Ona Deius.

Slightly ahead of time, Professor Dayus stepped onto the auditorium.

“A lot of people are waiting, so it’s a bit early, but let’s get started.”

The time everyone has been waiting for.

Someone harbored fear.

Someone has a dubious suspicion.

Someone still feels disgusted.

Someone is excited about stepping into a new discipline called black magic.

All of them focus on Deius’ lecture with a variety of emotions.

On the contrary, Dayus, who was worried about how to proceed with the lecture, even practiced uncharacteristically.

A calm expression, no different from usual.

Of course it’s natural, but Deius didn’t practice because of standing in front of people.

He practiced pouring out his knowledge to a large number of people.

He had already expressed his opinion confidently in front of several times as many people in a large debate, so there was no hesitation in his actions.

“Here, let me introduce my assistant.”

At a different start from yesterday, Erica’s eyebrows twitch slightly.

Did she take her own advice and change something?

Everyone’s eyes are on Deius’s assistant because he wants someone, and his fingertips point right to the side.

“This is the Dark Spirit who is with me.”

[…] ….]

The dark wizard standing next to Deius points at himself in a moment of panic.

[Eek?! Me? Can you see me?]

The Dark Spirit looked at Deius in surprise, and he gestured in surprise.

“Greetings.”

At those words, the dark mage turned his gaze toward the people. People’s eyes were hard on her, as she had been confined to her laboratory every day and practiced only her necromantic skills.

[Ah, hello. It is called the Dark Spirit.]

Bow your head and say hello.

Coming to think of it, Erica, Keren, and the dean had seen him before, so I wondered if it was okay.

“Now, my assistant just greeted you. Did you see it?”

At those words, the dark mage looked at Deius with a bewildered expression.

From nob le mt l. com

No!

Students responded with one voice.

[This! This! This!]

Thinking he was being teased, the Dark Spirit clenched his fists and glared at Deius, but he didn’t mind and continued his words.

“But here, my assistant must be.”

Then, Deius looked at the Dark Spirit.

“Show me.”

[…] … I really hate it.]

Despite her grunts, the Dark Spirit generates her own mana, causing simple sparks to rise.

The fire of the necromancer gave off a purple light.

In an instant, the hall is buzzing.

Most of the students and professors here can handle mana, so it’s not hard to notice that the flames that are burning here aren’t made by Deus.

I couldn’t help but admit that there really was something out there, even as I stared at the sudden rise of purple flames with amazement.

“I couldn’t see anything, but mana was manifested in an instant, and it soon became magic. I will teach you about these things that are invisible but exist.”

Introductory lecture to captivating lecture.

Some of the professors admired how good the start was, and when Erica heard that compliment, she hid a small smile.

“Also, if my lecture ends right before winter break, I will give this to the students who have matched the appearance of the Dark Spirit.”

Sure.

What Deus took out from his bosom was a golden card that fit comfortably in one hand.

At first, everyone wanted something like that. No, I couldn’t say anything because it was the first time I saw it even if I looked closely.

Among the students, an exclamation escapes from the princess’ mouth.

“Wow, a pass to the Royal Millennium Library?”

“What?!”

“Wow, great.”

“I heard you have to pay a lot of money to get in there?”

For the wizards of Griffin Kingdom, the Millennium Library is a must-have item on the bucket list.

A place that fits the word treasure of knowledge along with numerous original books of magic.

It was originally given to me by the dean.

Anyway, the pass had already been issued to him as a memorial serviceman, so there was no need to have two.

Just following Erica’s words that if you give her a gift, you can make her lecture more focused.

“Yes, the royal treasury. This is the pass to the Millennium Great Library. It may not be banned, but all other books are passable.”

Dius slides the pass over the students as if waving a fishhook to attract fish.

“As I just said, I will give this to the student who is the first to match the appearance of my assistant, the Dark Spirit. If you listen carefully to my lectures and work hard, it will be possible.”

[Muh, something embarrassing.]

The dark mage lowers his head for no reason.

But the effect was clear.

Indeed, even though most of the students hadn’t even started the lecture yet, the inside was burning with enthusiasm.

Deus slowly took the chalk and approached the blackboard.

“Let’s start the lecture.”
