Necromancer Academy's Genius Summoner

Chapter 55

Chapter 55No matter how scary Simon was, she had to do her job. The assistant teacher stretched her palms.

Theres a reason why I insisted on a mock duel. People like you who dont know their talents can eventually find the answer by pushing themselves to the limit. You know what you depend on in the most dangerous and critical moments.

Ah

In your case, you started with the Summoning with your own will, right? However, when you started to get cornered, you started using Combat Magic without any hesitation. You do seem to have a talent for it too. Is there even a need for you to think more?

Simon felt like he was stripped naked.

To answer her with, I simply used combat magic because you got close to me Simon was preparing for close combat after finishing his jet-black body enhancement while sending out three skeletons. It was almost like an instinctive movement.

Im not telling you to give an answer right away. Think about it slowly~

Thank you, assistant teacher.

After Simon left, the assistant teacher let out an internal sigh of relief.

Just then, from afar, she saw her senior assistant teacher guiding a student.

The senior was wearing a protective vest, and a student in the same protective vest was lying on the floor with a blank expression on their face. It looked like they had also done a mock duel.

The student who listened to her advice also thanked her and left. Now was her chance.

Uwaaaah! Big sis!

The assistant teacher ran to the senior and jumped into her arms.

I was so scared!

The senior pushed away from the junior, talking with a lisp and making a fuss while frowning.

Because you started off the duel guidance, all the students are asking for a mock duel! How burdensome.

Sniffle.

Other than that, whats so scary?

The assistant teacher reached out and pointed at Simon as though complaining to her mother. Simon was in the corner by himself, lost in his thoughts.

Ah, Simon, the Special Admission No.1

I thought hes just a cutesy one, but hes so scary. Its the first time Ive ever felt my heart sink when up against a kid.

She folded her arms as she pushed away from her whining, immature junior.

So, what kind of guidance did you give to him?

I asked in a roundabout way why the hell are he was obsessed with Summoning when hes fucking good at Combat Magic, and why doesnt he focus on that? Something like that.

Hmm.

Certainly, with some of the Summoning magic learned in the early part of the first-year, theyd inevitably be falling behind in the Duel Evaluation.

There were several subjects that were advantageous in the early Duel Evaluation, and typically, they were Curses or Combat Magic. Summoning and Necromancy were subjects that needed a little more time.

Is he thinking because hes a Summoning aspirant? But then again, nows the only time when you can have those kinds of posh-person problems.

There was no use telling him about it yet. She thought that, if he fell into a lower squad and became more desperate, his mind would change.

Or if not then like a genius

She thought of Simon fighting the Cyclops for a moment in her head.

He might come up with a new method.

After the Mock duel with the assistant teacher, Simon felt that his mind had become more complicated. It feels like two different thoughts were clashing with each other.

But if there was one thing that became clear

Skeletons arent enough in this Duel Evaluation.

He slowly recalled the duel with the assistant teacher.

To be honest, the skeletons werent any help. Rather, they were used against him by the opponent as a means to set  a curse on Simon.

He needed to change. In order to survive here, he had to constantly change and grow.

It was a moment when Simon was assigned with a new task.

Simon!

Simon, whod been agonizing deeply, raised his head.

Camibarez was approaching while waving with a bright smile. Rick and Meilyn followed from behind, side by side, quarreling as if something had happened again.

Heh heh. How come you couldnt even land a single blow?

Meilyn teased him by sticking out her tongue, and Rick ground his teeth with a frustrated face.

Ah, I just went easy on you because youre a girl!

Yeah right~ Youre nothing but a guy who couldnt land a blow~

Before Rick could rebut anything, Meilyn chuckled and ran to Simons back.

By the way, Simon, you said you had something to think about by yourself, but you were suddenly fighting with the assistant teacher.

Yeah. Somehow it just happened.

Did you win?

Simon awkwardly smiled and scratched his head.

How can I beat an assistant teacher?

While saying that, Simon's eyes turned to the assistant teacher.

At the same time, she was also looking at Simon, but when their eyes met, she could be seen running away to someplace else.

Whats wrong with her?

Simon tilted his head.

Ah~ By the way, isnt this Duel Evaluation too stressful?

Said Rick while scratching his head.

Not all Necromancers are fighters. There are scholars and re

[Like father, like son.]

Piers clone clicked his tongue.

Simon pressed his finger against the clones lips to signal him to be quiet.
