Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1007

“I will call the hero of Bell Heights, the commander of the 7th Corps, here.”

Simon slowly put on Peer’s helmet and walked away.

The intangible cloak flutters.

The air trembles.

Clap, clap, clap.

Today, the footsteps of the armor I saw were louder than usual. Finally, it was the moment when Simon appeared at the Dark Alliance summit.

“….”

“….”

With everyone’s attention focused, a heavy silence fell over the entire auditorium.

Simon just endured the stares and raised his head proudly. Countless eyes are fluttering.

This silence seemed like it would continue forever.

“dare.”

At that time, a man slowly stands up.

“How does it make sense to invite a vicious criminal to the Dark Alliance’s summit for the first time in 7 years?”

The owner of Black Light.

It’s Benny.

One by one, people stood up from their seats, led by him.

“No one guilty of betrayal can enter here!”

“I lost my parents to the army of betrayal!”

“My little brother!”

People opposing the army of betrayal stood up and raised their voices.

Simon just stared.

I can see the fingertips of people coming and going. The nape of the neck is visible, stained red. Bloodshot eyes, bulging blood vessels in the neck, spittle droplets bouncing.

All of these are denying their own existence. The phrase ‘I didn’t do it’ is not accepted on this continent.

Guilt by association.

It is a custom that has long been rooted not only in the Dark Alliance but also on the entire continent, and is common sense. The clans that received great grace are blessed from generation to generation, while those who were cursed are unhappy from generation to generation. If a husband commits a sin, his parents, wife, and children also die. It’s natural.

But at that moment.

Kuung-!

The flood of accusations stopped with a loud noise. Simon slowly rolled his eyes in the direction of the sound.

A man sitting on a chair.

He, who had his entire body wrapped in bandages and a splint on his right arm, hit the armrest with his left arm, which was still good. The armrests of the chair are shattered and falling hard on the floor.

“I-”

he said hoarsely and stood up.

“I lost my brother in the Legion of Betrayal incident.”

The loud noise in the main auditorium suddenly stopped.

“It was the worst breakup. When I participated in that war, my brother opened his arms and took the blade that was coming towards me. For the rest of my life, I will never forget my brother’s face and expression when he saw me. Until now!”

Cough! Cough!

I coughed once out of excitement. Jane hurriedly came over to help him, but he stretched out his arm to stop him, and he walked away under his own power, holding on to his cane.

“I think everyone knows what happened in Bell Heights. The reason my wife and I go to Belle Heights every year is not to strengthen our weak hearts in our hometown. Actually, it’s because it’s the anniversary of my brother’s death. It was to offer a memorial service to my brother and mourn his death. Then I was trapped there and suffered death-defying torture. But, as if by a twist of fate, the person who came to save us was-”

The King of Shahed stared at Simon.

“It was the same treacherous army that killed my brother.”

Exasperated exclamations erupted from everywhere.

At that time, Beniroda, the owner of the Black Light Castle, stood up for the first time and spoke with an excited expression on his face.

“I speak as a member of an affiliated country, not as a subject of the country! Your Majesty has no honor! “If it were my conviction, it would be better…!”

“I told him I would rather die.”

The King of Shahed interrupted, smiling crookedly. Beniroda flinched and stopped talking.

“Out of my own anger and guilt toward my brother, I tried to insult the help of my benefactor who came to save my country and chase him out of Belle Heights. However, the corps commander refused and saved us, saying he would not allow the fate of the group to go as planned.”

He closed his eyes.

“After Belle Heights was liberated and on my way out of the gray wall, I took a keepsake, a framed picture of my brother, and went outside. Only then did I see it! See my people hugging the survivors, crying, rejoicing, and cheering! “It felt like I got hit on the head with a hammer!”

-What was I trying to do?

“At that time, I threw my brother’s picture frame on the floor. With my own personal feelings! “You tried to throw away the lives of my family, my people, and the fate of my country!”

“your majesty!”

“The dead don’t come back!”

King Shahed’s loud shout echoed through the main auditorium.

Everyone fell silent as if they were overwhelmed.

“Isn’t this a fact that we all living in the era of necromancers are painfully aware of? We are more concerned about the dead! We must think about the future of the living! “It wasn’t the Death Witch’s intention to call the Legion of Betrayal here, it was my ‘request’!”

He stretched out his arm and pointed at Simon.

“This is the worst crisis in the history of the continent! For our children! For the people! We should do something! “It would be better for a rotten era that is stuck in the past and unable to do its best to perish.”

His eyes became cold.

“I hope those born and raised in the land of Shahed will know that and save my face.”

A heavy silence fell.

Beniroda’s lips trembled, but then he sat down with a stiff expression on his face. One by one, other people began to take their seats.

The King coughed and returned to his seat, leaning on his cane. Simon bowed his head in gratitude, and the King also raised his hand in greeting.

That time when everyone is in a lingering mood.

Clap- clap- clap-

cynical applause rang out.

People’s eyes turned. A man in uniform sitting on a dais equivalent to the King of Shahed.

“I heard a touching story.”

Gray hair. Slender chin and smooth skin.

It was Sidrian II, the king of the Kingdom of Kalos.

“I guess my personality became somewhat emotional after being tortured to the point of death. I understand. “Old friend.”

“….”

“But Jim’s heart isn’t that shaken. Is it because I didn’t receive the favor of having my family saved by a treacherous corps commander? Anyway, as King Shahed himself said, you can’t force your personal values on everyone here, right?”

“You bastard! Sidrian!”

King Shahed’s eyes turned bloody, and King Carlos accepted the gaze with a smile.

“There are definitely some people for whom the past is more important than the future. For the victims who lost their loved ones in that incident, it would be difficult to accept the pressure to sacrifice their hearts for the future. Now, Commander of the Army of Betrayal.”

He, who had skillfully changed the atmosphere of the auditorium, looked at Simon.

“You are the only one here who doesn’t show his face.”

[….]

“We don’t know who you are. “There is no way to know whether you are a member of a gang trying to assassinate us, or whether you are Jonah himself, who returned from hell.”

He showed a wry smile.

“If you want to talk to us, wouldn’t it be right to take off your helmet and show your face?”

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

I can hear the voices of people around me affirming King Carlos’s words to show my face. Some people looked at Simon with concern.

As Simon remained silent, the King of Kalos smiled.

“That’s right. The story of a person who does not even reveal his face….”

[I will do so.]

King Carlos fell silent. A reaction that I didn’t expect to be truly positive.

As Simon slowly placed his hand on Pier’s helmet, a dead silence fell on the surroundings. Soon, Simon slowly pushed Pier’s helmet upward.

Sharak.

Clear facial features are revealed. Her blue hair fell down and lightly covered her forehead.

The moment the treacherous corps commander, whose identity was unknown and who had been subject to many speculations, finally revealed his face, surprised voices came out from everywhere at his face, which was much younger than expected.

And those who recognized the face opened their mouths in astonishment.

“No way….”

“My name is Simon Pollentia.”

Simon finally spoke in front of everyone at the summit.

“I am the student council president of Kizen.”

* * *

A huge chaos broke out in the main auditorium.

The reaction from those around me was unprecedented.

“Key, was the student council president of Kizen the leader of the treacherous army?”

“If you are the student council president, you are not a student after all! “Of course I thought you were a veteran!”

“Unbelievable! “What the hell is this…!”

Many people were in shock. There were even leaders here who were Kizen students, but they all looked upset.

While everyone was in shock, the King of Kalos Kingdom secretly looked towards Nephthys.

“…Did you plan it from the beginning?”

Nephthys smiled and moved on. Soon she came forward.

“The commander of the Legion of Betrayal is famous, but does everyone know who Simon Pollentia is? A friend who has solved major continental situations. Just to add-”

She recited the various situations Simon had solved as a Kizen student and corps commander over the past two years. The saintess incident, the Tarados incident, the Riveron incident, etc. Everyone’s eyes widened as the stories continued to come out.

“Everyone must have been directly or indirectly influenced by this child’s performance. At Keygen, we are training him as a key talent of the future.”

In front of me, I can see some of the elders of Kizen trying to argue with Nephthys with tearful expressions and then falling asleep. And a headquarters employee sitting right behind him was seen chomping at the taste. It was a curse.

“So, now that I’ve revealed my face, I guess I have the right to speak, right? Simon, would you like to say something?”

“…yes.”

Simon received the loudspeaker crystal ball and came forward.

“I am Simon Pollentia, commander of the 7th Corps and 3rd year student council president of Kizen.”

Everyone was looking at Simon with dumbfounded expressions.

“I have had a lot of trouble getting to this point. I will not deny the sins of my Legion. If you tell me to atone, I will do as much as I can. but.”

Simon looked around.

“I heard that the agenda of this summit is ‘determination.’ So, here, rather than an apology, I would like to share a vision. I-”

“Not yet!”

thud!

Beniroda, the owner of the Black Light Castle, jumped up from his seat.

“The stories of the past are not over!”

“….” Although

harsh gazes were gathered from everywhere, Beniroda opened his mouth without hesitation.

“I felt ashamed of myself for breaking my heart a little when I faced the fact that you were still a student! The Army of Betrayal began its activities two years ago, and you joined Keygen two years ago. You won’t be a strange pinch hitter! Heukwang Castle and its residents may have to acknowledge you. but!”

Beniroda took a deep breath and spoke.

“Tell me here and now, commander of the treacherous army! “Even though you lead the army of betrayal, you have nothing to do with ‘Jonah’!”

Everyone’s eyes gathered at those words.

It was an important story for some people.

In the end, the person in charge of giving the order to attack the traitorous army is ‘Yonah’. There has already been public opinion in various media outlets that the current treacherous corps commander and Jonah should be considered separately.

Beniroda was talking about that part now.

‘Simon-’

Nephthys looked at Simon gently.

The best thing to do is to reveal your identity. I was told not to do that now.

‘Simon…’

Lorraine watched with nervous eyes. Arthur, who was a little away, also waited with his lips trembling.

“I-”

Simon’s mouth soon opened.

“I met Jonah and inherited the legion from him. “I will not deny my relationship with Jonah.”

―――――――!!!

Starting with Simon’s words, the main auditorium was devastated. Those who were swearing, those who were verbally hurling terrible curses, those who were calming down, and even those who were trying to stop Beniroda, who was about to jump onto the podium with a red-faced face. Simon’s remarks meant that he was the subject of a ‘crime by association’ and that it was no different from inheriting betrayal.

Nephthys laughed as if she had a headache, and Jane sighed. The surroundings became a wasteland.

“Damn army of betrayals!”

Beniroda, with deep resentment, raised his voice.

“You will never be recognized by anyone or thank anyone! What use is it for you to fight on a desperate front? “What I want is for you to disappear from the world!”

Several people agreed, outraged.

At that time, Simon also spoke calmly.

“As you said, I will not turn my eyes away from my sins. If you decide that there is no reason for me and my corps to step forward at this summit-”

Simon closed his eyes.

“I will give up the corps, step down as student council president, and then disappear.”

Sigh.

I could hear hiccups and the sound of empty air coming from all over the place. Some people even touched their foreheads.

“That’s good!”

Beniroda, who seemed to have lost his mind, shouted in a panic.

“Are you planning to make this summit your judge? This is very welcome! “You will never!”

“I can’t let this go any further.”

Just as the atmosphere was about to become increasingly hostile, Beniroda suddenly stopped speaking. He tried to make an ‘eup-eup’ sound out of his mouth, but no sound came out.

“Let me tell you something.”

The one who soon stood up was Serne Eindark, a girl with flowing ivory hair.

There was a strange dignity about her. She instantly dominated the atmosphere and drew people’s attention, looking at Beniroda.

“great. It’s clear here. It is impossible for the members of our union to be completely united. “Then, since I’ve heard the story of the anti-7th Legion faction, now I, the opposing party, can also speak out, right?”

“Ugh! Ugh!”

“Shall we start by talking about this first?”

She smiled brightly.

“We, the Ivory Tower, affirm the 7th Legion, and declare that any hostile act against the 7th Legion will be accepted as a hostile act against the Ivory Tower.”

“!!”

Everyone’s eyes gathered.

“His Majesty the King of Shahed explained the reason for the need for the 7th Legion, its basis, and its significance, right? Nevertheless, if there are still people who are just barking and denying the 7th Legion, I think there should also be people who are infinitely positive, right?”

Cernet looked at Simon and smiled.

“There was a crisis in our ivory tower where the entire organization almost collapsed due to the owner of the previous ivory tower who fell for the trick of a desperate man. The 7th Corps commander helped us without any compensation. We at the Ivory Tower affirm the 7th Legion. I can’t compare to people who just talk like that. “Regardless of their connection to Jonah, the 7th Legion is now different, and they have proven through their own actions that they can contribute to humanity and the Union.”

She shrugged.

“And wouldn’t that change depending on your perspective? There are many scholars who say that when you look at the Legion of Betrayal incident without any emotions, it had a positive effect in that it ended a long 100-year war. What if the ‘Bongseo’, which was the cause of the war at that time, had not been destroyed? What if one of the corps commander Jonah or the miraculous saint, who were much loved at the time, was killed by another force? It would have been a 200-year war or a 300-year war, not a 100-year war. “Many people must have died compared to the victims at that time.”

Several nobles jumped up.

“That’s a leap!”

“Who hasn’t even experienced those times?”

“Then does this body that went through those times have the right to speak?”

Everyone’s mouths fell silent.

A huge, bearded man stood up. One of the people who fought for the Union at the forefront.

“Grand Forge and all dwarves approve of the 7th Legion Commander.”

“To Grand Forge…!”

The King of Grand Forge grinned, showing his teeth.

“The perception of the leader of the Army of Betrayal was not good, but if his true identity is Simon Pollentia, it is a different story.”

“Me too!”

Then this incredibly young boy stood up.

It was ‘Shun Old One’ who ruled Blue Harbor.

“Blue Harbor affirms the 7th Corps Commander! “Student President Simon Pollentia did not turn away and helped us when we were in trouble!”

This time, a man stood up.

General Amin of Tarados, now a lord.

“Tarados affirms the 7th Legion Commander. “While terrible things were happening in Tarados, everyone turned a blind eye, but only the 7th Legion commander helped.”

An old man stood up.

“Pentamonium affirms the commander of the 7th Corps.”

A middle-aged woman stood up.

“The Parona Peninsula affirms the 7th Corps Commander.”

Something amazing was happening. People began to stand up one by one and express their support for the 7th Legion. Those who opposed Beniroda could not help but be embarrassed.

“haha! All mercenaries on the continent support the 7th Legion Commander! of course!”

“The Thieves Guild also wants to give power to the 7th Corps Commander.”

“Same goes for Northern Kalos and Vilkenos! To the Northerners, the commander of the 7th Corps is like a blood brother! Our brother!”

“Riveron supports the 7th Legion Commander.”

“The Frigod Autonomous Region also supports the 7th Legion Commander!”

People who have met Simon through missions and dispatches over the past two years, people who have received help from Simon, and people who have a relationship with Simon are standing here and raising their voices.

‘ah.’

Simon was experiencing a new feeling.

Things I’ve done so far.

‘It wasn’t in vain.’
