I Became The Academy Necromancer chapter 122

122. Old colleague

Check the round clock above the entrance to the auditorium. It seems that the lecture didn’t go as far as I thought, but two hours have already passed.

That meant we had to finish it soon.

However, I would say that personal greed takes precedence.

I didn’t want to interrupt the current flow because I wanted to see when I could see the students who are concentrating this far.

“To reiterate, just as every human being has mana, after all, every soul has mana.”

That’s why I thought to continue this concentration and finish it with a simple summary.

Knowing that I am about to finish the lecture, the professors as well as the students focus on the final tidying up.

Because it’s time to point out the most important thing that was said during the lecture.

“However, as I said, it is not the body that anchors the mana of the soul, but a kind of will.”

This is where the difference arises.

“That’s why the power of evil spirits often differs depending on their will. I dared to express it with the word ‘will’, but in reality it is safe to say that it is ‘resentment’ or ‘lingering’.”

Gulp.

Students are so nervous that you can hear the sound of swallowing. It seemed that the experience they had in the first semester came to mind.

“As you have experienced, ordinary magic does not work on such beings.”

This time, the professors nodded and let out moans. I fully sympathized with them because they were trying to fight the evil spirits that covered the academy several times.

“A simple fireball, a water bullet, a bolt of lightning. Even though they were created through mana, they are magic created for physical damage in the end.”

On the contrary.

A blue flame burning at my fingertips.

A special magic called the flame of a necromancer.

“In this way, warlocks have a way to damage the insubstantial. But.”

The audience startled as I plunged my hand into the flames.

However, my hands did not get burned, only feeling the heat of a sauna.

“It’s hard to damage something that has substance.”

Of course, even among black mage magic, this kind of magic is very few. After all, it’s human beings. There were more magic against humans.

The flame of the necromancer is held in my hand and disappears as if it were flying away.

“Today, I briefly explained the background and theory. From next time, we will proceed with practice.”

There is a moment of silence at those words.

I knew what they were worried about, so I jumped ahead.

“I am a warlock, but I have no intention of teaching you warlock.”

Students wondering what it means. Of course, if you listen to my lecture, you must have thought that you would learn black magic, and you came with your own determination.

This was not a study that could be learned with halfway determination.

Like Dante and the Dark Spirit.

It was only possible without the slightest hesitation in walking the Apostles.

“I will teach you how to detect and respond to black magic, evil spirits, and monsters. Also, I plan to teach such beings how to protect themselves, and future lectures will be the subject of that.”

That way, there won’t be any sloppy loss of the academy like before.

In addition, teachings against young students will spread throughout the kingdom of Griffin, and kingdoms vulnerable to warlocks and psychic phenomena will gradually be able to stand up against themselves.

Since the demon of Griffin, the warlock, has created a kingdom of such a deformed structure, I, also a warlock, must balance it.

As the lecture was about to end, a student raised his hand.

A lot of time has already passed, but since no other students bothered to do anything else, I put my hand on him.

“Tell me.”

“I heard that you solved several unsolved cases this summer vacation.”

“Yes.”

That was right.

In the end, most of the unsolved cases in Griffin Kingdom involved evil spirits or youkai.

“Then, will the related content also appear in class? For example, he gave a lecture by substituting the situation at the time.”

That’s a pretty good question, and it’s also something I’ve been thinking about since Erica’s advice yesterday.

Rather than simply pouring out knowledge, it will be much more focused and exciting if I apply the events I have experienced to give lectures.

Of course, I can’t tell you all the cases with the victims in mind. I was thinking of choosing among the lighter ones.

“Yes. I was thinking of proceeding with the next lecture by weaving an actual incident.”

Then the hall is stirred again.

If I had to question it, would it feel like an experienced detective showing his case notebook?

I thought it must be a very interesting topic.

“Thank you!”

The student who asked the question sat down with a satisfied smile. I explained with the mic in hand one last time.

“The last student who found out about the Dark Spirit can come and talk to me at any time. However, it is a chance for each person, so please be careful.”

Because they can come and take up my time by filming random things. The students did not react as much as expected.

“Okay, let’s finish the lecture.”

I left the auditorium as it was.

The ripple effect of Deus Verdi’s black magic lecture did not stop at the simple Robern Academy.

Until now, the kingdom has completely denied and suppressed black magic.

Parents were quite displeased in that it was a lecture taught to students, and the bishops of the church were also closely watching.

I thought I might corrupt a student at any time, so I tried to hit it right in if I did something suspicious.

Very literally.

Deus Verdi was the only one who taught how to counter black magic.

That’s also because he himself became a training partner.

“Whoop!”

Eleanor raises her own mana and she creates a barrier of green light as it is, hiding her whole body.

The dark mage’s flame pouring over it.

“Great!”

Her hands trembled and her head felt sore and painful, but she managed to block Eleanor because the Dark Spirit controlled her strength.

“Maw! hahahaha!”

Breaking cold sweat.

I had tried many magics that consumed simple mana, but it was the first time I had ever used magic that used mana and mental power at the same time.

I also didn’t know that the broad concept of mental strength would be established so clearly.

In order to deal with evil thoughts, Deus taught us how to deal with them.

“Good job, next.”

“Thank you.”

At Deus’s praise, Eleanor wiped her sweat and smiled and stood in her line again.

The next student comes forward.

“This is Leorus, a first year student.”

A boy with impressive blue hair. As a master of spearmanship, he later became an important presence in Aria’s party as a tanker.

[Huh! I don’t want to do it anymore!]

The dark mage, who has been playing the opposite role ever since, grumbles that he doesn’t like it, but Deius doesn’t bother to answer.

In the end, the dark mage poured out fire again.

“Keah!”

Leorus fell backwards. The concept of using mana and mental power at the same time was still difficult.

“Okay, next.”

To be honest, Leorus was pretty good at it. Beings like Eleanor and Arya and Deius praised her, but most of the students didn’t get a positive answer at all.

In this way, most of the lectures were conducted through practice, and in the case of theories, they were solved based on Deus’ experience.

Both of them were popular with students. In addition, it has already been stigmatized as a required course among the required courses in Robern, which was swayed by demons in the first semester.

“Ughhhhh.”

A student who could not withstand the flames of the Dark Spirit once again walked away with a teary face.

Next turn.

“Please.”

Aria Rias, the main character, makes a confident expression toward me.

[…] ….]

The expression of the dark mage hardened coldly. A little stronger, stronger, and poured out the flames towards Arya.

Arya protects herself by striking her barrier calmly as if nothing had happened.

She seems to symbolize her strong mental strength.

“…… Good job.”

“Yes!”

Is this kind of light compliment so happy? Arya smiled and turned around.

Arya stood in line next to her for her next training session. In front of her, her classmates who had been defeated by the Black Spirit lined up first.

“Aria, how are you so good?”

“Wow, that’s really great.”

“Can you teach me later?”

“That sounds pretty good.”

Friends with a unique yet considerable appearance.

Leorus, Happy, Forencia, Jin.

“… ….”

All colleagues from the first playthrough.

As I said before, Leorus was always active in the vanguard as a spear master. He was also good at the role of a barrier because his water attribute magic was at a high level.

Happy was a female archer who handled the bow. She was always in charge of firepower with Forencia in her rear, and she was good with Clark Republic stuff.

Forencia is a wizard.

She was the backbone of the party with the role of helping the team recover and Happy’s lack of firepower. If she collapsed, it would be like the waistline of her party was cut off.

The last Jin is a dual-wielding assassin. He pretends to be a reticent student now, but his family has been active in assassins for a very long time.

Jin was the next head of the assassination team, but he joined the party.

He was a man with various abilities such as reconnaissance, trap dismantling, and surprise attacks.

Suddenly, I remembered the time when we were talking to each other in front of a campfire.

– Heh, it’s hard.

Leorus of the avant-garde grumbled and wiped his sweat with water magic.

– Seeing things like this makes me miss the academy.

Happy grilling meat over a bonfire misses his academy days.

– We are still students.

Porencia gives a timid answer as she prepares the meat.

– Ride there, idiot.

Even Jin sighs and annoys Happy to stop cooking.

A scenery Arya had seen many times.

The days when we would gather in front of a campfire and talk after a day’s adventure.

The story she talked about the most at the time was, of course, about her time at the academy.

This is how I came back to the academy. I didn’t come back in the end in the previous round.

Is it okay if I came back like this?

Although Aria suddenly felt suspicious.

Stick!

She catches her breath while frowning at the pain that echoes through her head.

“Why, why, Aria?”

“Huh? Where do you think you are sick?”

“Shall we call the professor?”

“Take a deep breath.”

A cold sweat wets their foreheads, and the other students are also worried about Aria’s sudden appearance.

Arya gritted her teeth and told her old teammates.

“Everything is gone. Enjoy the academy life that you guys loved so much.”

With her fierce hostility, Arya clenched her fists.

I don’t need all of them.

I will protect only the professor. I will never be torn between you and the professor again.

Even if that time comes.

“I will definitely choose the professor.”

Aria turns her body around and walks away. She didn’t feel like being with them any longer.
