Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits

Episode 12. Swordsmanship training, tricks, and growing interest

.

Even though the free dormitory for students at the Imperial Academy was free, there was no hindrance to training as large rooms were assigned to each individual.

To talk more about dormitories, there were dormitories that were provided free of charge, while there were also dormitories that you had to pay to enter.

Most of these dormitories housed the sons of nobles or the children of wealthy people.

I heard that the quality of the room is not much different from this place, but it felt like they were moving in to show off their wealth or wealth.

‘If only Adrias had the money, he would have tried to move in there anyway.’

There is a saying that they play with each other.

It is natural for each dormitory to get close or have a meeting.

It was not uncommon for the connections he learned to continue even after graduating from the academy.

Of course, graduates are welcomed anywhere just by the fact that they graduated from Rodlen Academy.

However, it cannot be denied that paid dormitories are overwhelmingly effective in networking.

“What is your relationship? I have to worry about it from graduation.”

As I mutter to myself, Nickel looks at me strangely.

Is it an overreaction? Nickel, who has no eyes, can’t look at me like that.

Concentration!

Nickel writes vigorously with her finger.

“yes. teacher.”

I don’t know how much of Nickel’s ego he has, but I seemed to know that he has a fairly unique personality.

Who would be reincarnated as a skeleton and start practicing swordsmanship as soon as they come out?

Nickel, whether or not he knew what I was thinking, held up the stick I had brought him and took a stance.

I asked to learn the basics in detail, so I learned how to hold a sword and posture.

“like this?”

When I follow the basic posture in a similar way, Nickel touches my body with a stick.

But it has unexpected power.

‘Is it a skeleton? Why are you so strong?’

After that, I learned the basics under Nickel’s guidance.

It is the map of the Auror Master.

There are probably only a few people in this world who enjoy this kind of luxury.

No, maybe I’m the only one.

‘Those high-nosed guys are too busy doing stupid things, but there’s no way they’re raising disciples.’

Of course it’s a guess.

At least the guys I met in the game were all non-normal.

This wasn’t limited to Aura Masters, but most of the names who wanted to be a little stronger were like that.

You would know just by looking at the Bahat I met the other day.

The fact that the inspiration covered his eyes with a cloth is also a concept.

Maybe the next time we meet, she’ll be wearing some other bizarre makeup or something.

‘Eh, am I in a position to tell others?’

If you’re strong, you’re good.

As long as you’re strong, it’s okay to do whatever you do.

right!

“ah!”

A stick of nickel hit my forehead.

But it hurt more than I could have imagined.

Concentration!

Immediately pick up the stick and write.

Looking at it now, I was worried that someone might not be the master, so my skull wasn’t normal either.

In this world, mana did not increase simply by standing still.

Of course, as you get older and your body grows, your mana naturally increases.

However, the moment you stop growing and start getting old, your mana will also decrease.

The only way to increase mana was to use mana consistently.

Like the body’s muscles, the amount of mana gradually increases as you use and recover it.

However, consuming mana meaninglessly was inefficient.

It is growing, but growth is literally slow.

That’s why, regardless of the magician’s swordsmanship, it was training along with actual combat.

“Whoop whoop whoop.”

A sweet taste came from the mouth.

Sweat poured down like rain, and his arms trembled pitifully as they had already reached their limits.

But he never dropped his arm or let go of the stick.

Whiik!

Nickel swung his sword.

Standing beside me, I swung after him.

However, there was no sound that cut the wind like nickel, and it swayed powerlessly.

When I lifted the arm I had swung again, my shoulder felt like it would break.

“Whoa!”

It seemed that the arms that were barely raised would face the floor at any moment.

Still, I took a deep breath and never let it go.

stop.

Nickel drew letters in the air.

“I can still do it.”

I tried to come back, but my arm quickly fell off.

The tremendous pain stretched from both shoulders to the back muscles.

‘Did I overdo it?’

But there were good reasons to be overbearing.

Unlike wizards who can handle mana with innate talent, swordsmen learn how to use mana through constant physical training.

Of course, those whose talent converges to 0 cannot awaken mana even if they train, but this method works for about five out of ten people.

That’s why most nobles, if they don’t have talent as wizards, start training as knights right away.

‘In a nutshell, if a wizard’s talent is 90%, then a knight’s talent is only 60%.’

Although the element of talent was very important, it was worth a try because it was nothing compared to magic.

Rather, there were numerous talented people who were weak because they did not make an effort.

Effort was so important to the prosecutors.

‘effort? When I was Kim Jin-hwan, I did exercise as if I were eating rice.’

Rather, it may have been more than eating rice.

I was quite confident in my athletic abilities.

While the training was over, thinking stupidly, I also opened the skill level window.

―Black Magic: Basic Necromancer (22/100) > > Skeleton Summon LV3

“Ohh.”

It rose by 2 in 5 hours.

It’s good because it only increases the mastery without consuming mana, right?

It is a story that if you summon it for about 200 hours, it becomes a beginner necromancer.

‘Of course, after becoming a beginner, the level of proficiency will be much slower. Besides, if you don’t learn beginner magic, it’s meaningless.’

As I was taking a break admiring my level of proficiency, Nickel approached and tapped my shoulder.

It felt strange, like the hand of a grandfather who said he was great.

He then immediately started swinging the stick again.

It’s really my skeleton, but it’s jingling.

In a way, it could be seen as an advantage as a skeleton.

Skeletons don’t get tired.

“You might have been better off as a skeleton.”

How good is it to be able to train without a circle?

As I was watching Nickel’s movements in a daze, I suddenly thought of this.

If I continued to train without guidance, I would quickly improve my skills under Nickel’s guidance.

To not get tired?

In the game, I used to cheat with potions.

Whenever my stamina fell, I ate potions and practiced.

‘Can’t I do it too?’

Coincidentally, I have Bahat’s card.

It was an unlimited use of potion materials.

Of course, there was no meaning simply with a physical strength increase potion.

What I need now… … .

“Recovery and regeneration potions.”

Recovery potions and regeneration potions are different.

Restoration is to restore to the original state, and was mainly used for healing internal injuries or recovering from fatigue rather than trauma.

In the case of trauma or visible wounds, a regeneration potion was used, which literally increased the regeneration rate.

In the game, I just cheated with health potions and recovery potions, but this is reality.

‘Regeneration potion shortens the time it takes for muscles to be destroyed and regenerated, and recovers from fatigue with stamina increase potions and recovery potions.’

Theoretically, with potions, infinite training was possible with persistence and effort.

Of course, taking the regeneration potion won’t immediately heal the torn muscles, but at least the training cycle will be much faster.

It wasn’t like this here.

“I have to make it right now. The chance to suck honey is until this year.”

As much as possible when you have Bahat’s card!

It’s time to craft a new potion.

* * *

Numerous countries and powers existed on the continent of Luderion.

Among them, the Empire Rodelene, which exerts a great influence in the center of the continent.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no place beyond their influence beyond the northern mountains, and they were showing off their might.

As such a place, the capital of the empire, which is the most sensitive to information and leads the trend, was busy with daily life.

“Gajou, we have updated the list of new students scheduled to enroll next year and the reports of current students.”

Duke Cloche, who checked the tablet at the butler’s words, nodded.

“okay. Good work.”

The middle-aged man with intense red hair reminiscent of a lion’s mane was the owner of a family that competed for supremacy within that mighty empire, and at the same time he was also a strong man, an Aura Master.

Duke Cloche stopped by the mansion located in Laudelen for a while to visit the capital, and glanced at the tablet.

“I look forward to these guys.”

The students of Rodlen Academy were talented people from all over the world.

Although he was only interested in graduates, some of the new students coming next year had remarkable resumes, so a smile of interest hung on Duke Closche’s lips.

“I never thought there would be a guy who would receive a letter of recommendation from old Deshurn.”

“According to the intelligence team’s report, it was already half-predicted.”

“There is a huge difference between what was predicted and what actually happened. Do you know what I’m talking about?”

“yes. majesty.”

“Well, since he’s the guy who broke the records of all the top players at Monas Academy, I wouldn’t be surprised if anything happens.”

Children of nobles of the empire and children of commoners who have been recognized for their qualifications can apply to Monas Academy around the age of 8 or 9.

Monas Academy is a sub-concept of Rodlen Academy, and the top 50% of Monas Academy automatically qualify for admission to Rodlen Academy.

The only exceptions were the children of high-ranking aristocrats of the empire, who were able to enter Rodlen Academy regardless of grades or qualifications.

If you don’t have talent, you can’t graduate anyway, so the admission itself didn’t mean much.

“There were a few other students who stood out quite a bit.”

“okay. I’ll have to check out the other guys soon. These are the guys who will be enrolled in Laudelen now.”

Duke Cloche, who was flipping through the tablet like that, soon stopped at some point.

“this. A new potion was invented?”

“I have it prepared here in advance.”

“Bring it.”

The potion, which had only passed the examination and not yet been registered, fell into the hands of the Duke of Closche by the power of authority.

He looked at the yellowish potion and said.

“Lucia Everlast?”

“yes. He is the only daughter of the upper state of Everlast. It’s not accurate, but according to the information I got secretly, it seems that I have a congenital and incurable disease.”

“Sorry. Although he is a talented person who created something that most wizards could not do at such a young age.”

He clicked his tongue a few times and drank the potion.

After savoring the taste for a while, he looked at his hand, and then repeatedly clasped it and then released it.

“It is on a different level. Have you eaten?”

“I haven’t experienced it yet.”

“This is really great. The feeling is so certain that it is impossible to compare it with the existing potions. But are there any side effects?”

“For now, yes.”

“If it is officially registered and commercialized, I think it will cause quite a stir.”

“I didn’t know how much it was. Shall we raise the importance ranking by one?”

“okay.”

Duke Cloche moved his body to feel the power of the potion.

As much as I have an understanding of how to handle the body, I could immediately feel the degree of change in the body.

‘Maybe this is more suitable for people who lack stamina rather than people like me.’

The duke, who had been thinking that far, suddenly thought of Viscount McCain, who had not seen his children until he was over 50 years old.

A brilliant idea to take care of this potion as a sign of hardships so far flashed.

“There is one more peculiarity regarding the Potion of Charge.”

“hmm? what?”

“It’s also stated in the report, but we have a co-producer.”

At the butler’s words, the duke checked the tablet again.

“Adrias Cromwell? Ah, the son of Kane Cromwell.”

He rummaged for a moment and recalled the Cromwell family.

If his memory is correct, the Cromwell family was a family that was in danger of being demoted at the end of the year at the Non-Gonghang Awards.

“I thought there were very few reports about him. Were you originally talented in this field?”

“According to the research, even though I am in the 3rd grade this year, I am now taking Intermediate Herbology. Manufacturing science has a record of completing up to beginner level last year.”

“So what you’re saying is that you didn’t have any talent?”

“The Information Team judges that way.”

“okay? But take this opportunity to look a little further. This potion is worth it.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

The butler immediately corrected the importance on Adrias Cromwell’s report.

‘Adrias Cromwell’s importance was raised from nothing to low.’
