Episode 1121
Right after the midterm exams and before the Rune League training camp began.
In this spare time, the professors beat Simon to death.
-Jimon! As a corps commander, I can’t neglect my physical training!
-Cutie! Can you come tonight? I will prepare delicious poisons made with a sacred base!
-The curse we will teach this time has been prepared as a type that priests cannot remove even through purification. But why do you lock the door? There is no particular reason.
-You’re late! Cheeky! Where is the newly acquired Ancient Undead?
The Kizen professors’ eyes grew bright as if they had been waiting for this day, and they spooned all kinds of teachings into Simon’s mouth.
As a student, it was difficult to live up to the twisted desires of educators, but at least I was able to afford it now. Once training camp begins, it will be impossible to receive tutoring from professors like this.
Of course, even though he was extremely busy, Simon took time to do the things he had been putting off one after another.
After taking Jane’s class, the place we quickly went to via the teleportation magic circle was none other than the Screaming Jungle.
Incongruous with the jungle setting, colorfully dressed people were walking around holding glasses and saying hello.
Today is the day to open the Screaming Jungle ‘travel route’ that Simon put so much effort into. Originally, trade between the East and West required traveling around deserts and mountains, but by taking the river in the mysterious jungle, you could save an enormous amount of time and money.
“This is truly an innovation in the logistics world! “It is a day that will remain in the history of merchants!”
Simon’s friend and business partner, Dick Hayward, shouted loudly while holding a loudspeaker.
“ruler! Then, the one and only commander who pioneered the jungle of screams for humanity! “I will bring Simon Pollentia, commander of the 7th Corps, here!”
Simon appeared amidst loud applause from the audience. Simon waved to the merchants and investors with a smile and then spoke quietly to Dick.
‘I didn’t do it for humanity!’
‘Uh huh, you don’t know the cause? In a society where people play with money, a good cause is important. ‘I can’t help it!’
Simon poked Dick in the side as a sign of dissatisfaction, then received the loudspeaker crystal ball and came forward.
“This is Simon Pollentia, commander of the 7th Corps. “We are honored that so many people have visited us since the first day of the opening of the trade route.”
Rich merchants, rich people from all over, and all kinds of nobles who supplied spices were looking at Simon with smiling faces.
I delegated everything to Dick regarding the contract, but I couldn’t resist Dick’s request to attend the opening ceremony, so I came out like this.
“A cool waterway has been opened on the continent. It is also a new lifeline. “The surrounding monsters were pushed out of the river, and the upper and lower reaches of the river became the territory of the Legion.”
And what should I say?
When Simon glanced at Dick, Dick opened his mouth and said, ‘West!’, ‘East!’ He is seen saying.
“Residents in the West, who have difficult food situations, will be able to obtain abundant food and water, and those in the East will be able to obtain precious spices, tea, and medicine at low prices.”
At that time, Dick spread his legs, swung his arms ‘hoo-hoo-hoo’ and pointed to the sky. Simon’s Behemoth battleship was floating in the sky.
‘Do you have to do it?’
‘of course!’
It’s only for today.
With that thought in mind, Simon created a jet black, spread a magic circle, and linked it with the Behemoth battleship in the sky.
<Simon Original – Classroom>
Sssssssssssssssssssssss!
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
Skullwings jumped out from inside the Behemoth battleship. Soon, the emerald flash of the SS was shot out, waving like a badge, and colorfully decorated the sky.
A flight show that was shown once at the Pentamonium.
Cheers and exclamations erupted from everywhere. Reporters were busy pointing the Memorial Crystal Ball toward the sky.
“I hereby declare that the upper and lower reaches of the Screaming Jungle River are the territory of the 7th Legion. Please leave the safety here to us. The Legion is always-”
Simon, whose face was red with embarrassment, cleared his throat and continued speaking.
“I will fight for humanity.”
Deafening cheers erupted. Everyone chanted Simon’s name with moved faces and raised their glasses.
Soon, Simon waved his arm and lifted the ‘Bon Prison’ that had blocked the river, and the river was completely opened, and ferry boats carrying various cargoes began to move along the river one by one.
Brieho!
Eveli!
The first commercial route has finally begun. All kinds of joyful cheers erupted in different local dialects.
Simon was also looking at the boat with a smile on his face. As Dick said, my heart sank a little when I thought that each and every boat was worth money.
‘Now I can afford Mirmiz’s food expenses.’
Every time there was a few battles, the amount of magic gems consumed by the bone dragon Myrmiz in the corner of the room was enormous. Simon, who was in debt and almost broke, asked Mirmiz to ease the conditions of summons, but there was no way.
If that doesn’t work, you have no choice but to make more money.
The opening of the Screaming Jungle was rushed. Together with Frost Field’s magicite mine, it will become a strong source of funds for the 7th Legion.
‘Anyway, it’s all over now. ‘I can’t wait to go back to school.’
Simon tried to hand the loudspeaker crystal ball to Dick with trembling hands, but Dick didn’t take it, just twitched his eyebrows and looked at the audience.
“Please give a round of applause to Commander of the 7th Corps Simon Pollentia, who gave an amazing speech that will go down in history! ruler! So, does anyone have any questions? “I will be answering questions from those who have had a passage contract for more than 5 years!”
What is this?
Simon continued to poke Dick’s back as a sign of dissatisfaction, but Dick did not miss the communication crystal ball even though he was writhing in pain.
“I, James, the owner of the Horan Merchant Marine, ask the corps commander a question!”
A dark-looking brown-haired man stood up.
In an instant, silence swirled around, and people looked at James with expectant eyes. Simon and Dick quickly smiled, straightened their posture, and waited for the question.
Smirking.
At that time, the corners of James’ mouth turned up sinisterly.
What question are you going to ask?
“Rune League.”
James’ mouth finally opened.
“I heard that the corps commander himself is participating in the war. Are you sure of the victory of our Dark Alliance?”
Hehehe!
Whistling sounds came from everywhere, as if waiting for these words. The reporters began to operate their magic shooting devices like crazy.
‘It seems like Rune League is a hot topic these days.’

Everyone here is extremely rich. It wasn’t a question about future steps or investment destinations, but the topic of Rune League came up. Simon answered with a smile.
“If you look at each and every one of the Top 10 members of this year’s Keygen 329, you will know well, but I don’t think even the term ‘golden generation’ is enough to evaluate their potential.”
Simon’s eyes sparkled.
“I win. “I will definitely bring victory.”
The most explosive cheers erupted during the opening ceremony. * * *
Lately, wherever I went, there was only talk about Rune League.
After returning from the Screaming Jungle in a teleportation magic circle, it was Simon’s turn to work at the school. Several high-ranking nobles who support Kizen were gathered in the main auditorium, and it was a kind of briefing session.
Of course, meeting them and guiding them is the responsibility of the student council president.
“Ah, a lot of big guys are here! “I’ve never seen Professor Jane smile so artificially!”
Vice President Meilin, who had been waiting with her feet stamped, soon turned her head and said.
“Simon! please!”
“Leave it to me.”
Simone lightly adjusted his tie and adjusted the sleeves of his coat, then walked off the stage.
The nobles who were talking over wine glasses saw Simon’s appearance and their faces brightened as if they had been waiting.
Simon bowed lightly with his hand on his chest.
“You’ve waited a long time. “My name is Simon Pollentia, and I am the student council president.”
They approached one by one.
“Oh oh! Simon Pollentia, student council president!”
“You look younger in person! “I wanted to meet you!”
“I will take care of you after this. It is an honour.”
Simon gave Jane a quick look as if thanking him for a job well done.
Then Simon led the nobles around and gave them a brief tour of the school. Of course, high-ranking nobles had little interest in the school’s facilities.
“Can you win the Rune League?”
“What do you think the odds of winning are? “I heard that the success rate of the Dark Alliance in history was between 40 and 30 percent.”
“The legion’s undead are probably weak against the saint’s divinity. Is there another way?”
Howl, howl, howl!
My ears were deafening from the barrage of questions. Simon answered each question one by one with the greatest smile on his face.
‘I want to go to my room quickly.’
The student council president is the face of Keygen.
It was all my duty as student council president.
After frantically completing external and internal schedules, it was already evening. Simon didn’t have the energy to return to Peer’s ruins or the student council room today. He was exhausted.
I went straight into the dormitory and lay down on the bed.
‘ha.’
Finally, my tense body and mind lose strength and I feel drowsy.
A dazed thought pops into my head.
‘Rune Rigra.’
I knew what a great event the Rune League was, but I had no idea it would be this big.
Simon, who continued to think about the Rune League, fell asleep without realizing it.
Fighting.
Tuk.
Before we knew it, light rain was falling. You can hear the sound of water drops falling on the tree house roof.
Simon woke up quickly, took off his school uniform, changed into indoor clothes, washed up, and got ready for bed.
‘Let’s do personal training at dawn.’
The moment Simon lays down on the bed again and tries to sleep.
smart.
There was a knocking sound.
Who is it at this hour? Simon asked in a surprised voice.
“who are you?”
Strangely, no answer came back.
This is the Summoning Department dormitory, so you won’t be able to come in without permission. Simon walked out, scratched his messy hair, and opened the door.
I saw someone with a black umbrella standing outside the door. In his other hand, he was holding a large bag.
Simon’s mouth opened at the appearance of an unexpected person.
“… … Lorraine?”
Shh.
Lorraine held up her index finger to silence Simon, checked to see if voices could be heard from other rooms, and then came inside.
She was wearing a dress with her shoulders exposed. Like Simon, it looks like he went to an external event somewhere.
Simon blushed and turned his head when he saw his shoulders shining white and wet with raindrops.
“W-what’s going on? Lorraine. If the housemaster catches you entering the men’s room… … !”
“Sorry.”
She said that with a sigh and entered the treehouse.
“I received a favor.”
‘What request?’
Lorraine, who had placed a soundproof barrier around the treehouse as if she was used to it, placed the bag in her hand on the floor with a thud. Inside the bag, ‘Hig!’ A voice was heard.
“???”
At a time when Simone was confused and didn’t know what was going on, she sat quietly on the floor and finally opened the bag.
And in that bag.
“Jjajaan!”
Nephthys appeared, raising her hands. A welcoming smile finally appeared on Simon’s lips.
“Nephthys!”
“Hello, hello! “It’s been a while, Simon!”
Simon immediately wiped the table and brought another chair from the outside terrace. And he rummaged through the shelves and released some sweets that he had received from his classmates.
“Please eat.”
“It’s a cookie!”
Nephthys immediately picked up the cookie and started eating it. Lorraine, sitting next to me, glanced at me.
“Professor Jane nagged you not to eat snacks even though your health wasn’t good.”
“But it’s delicious!”
Simon, who heard those words, glanced at Nephthys.
His complexion certainly didn’t look that good. It looks like work has been extremely busy. I haven’t even seen her properly recently.
“Do you have a lot of questions?”
Nephthys said after putting a whole cookie in her small mouth and chewing it.
“About the Rune League!”
In the silence of the room with the sound of rain falling on the ceiling, Simon was silent for a moment as if he was lost in thought about Nephthys’ question, but then he opened his mouth.
“Actually, there is something questionable.”
“lol! What?”
“… … “I felt the rumor spread too quickly.”
It’s only been a few days since I saw the Rune League recruitment instructions on the Keygen bulletin board. However, it quickly turned into a topic of conversation across the continent. Wherever he goes, whether it’s internal or external, people ask Simon about ‘Rune League’.
Could the rumor spread this quickly?
Considering that it usually takes weeks or months for something that happens in the royal capital to spread to the provinces, I thought there was something about this incident.
At that time, Nephthys smiled slightly.
“of course. Because I meant it to be that way!”
