Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Chapter 239
The scale suddenly grew.
I thought I would shop in downtown Rochester, but Serene had already prepared an expensive teleportation magic circle.
At her urging, Simon stepped on the magic circle, and out of nowhere, the city of Langerstein unfolded before his eyes.
“Come quickly!”
Said Serene, pulling her sleeves.
“No, wait. Isn’t it a serious violation of school rules to go out of Rock Island without reporting?”
“I don’t think that’s what a person who always climbs over the fence and goes to the forbidden forest would say.”
After saying that, she turned around and knelt down to see Peer’s alter ego hanging from Simon’s shirt.
“It’s been a while, too. How are you?”
On the surface, it was just a skull ornament.
As she playfully touched the clone of Peer, Simon spoke without filtering the cry that resonated in his head.
“I’ll kill you.”
“Be afraid.”
She stopped joking around and turned her back.
“Now, let’s go! Shall we stop by the shopping complex first?”
* * *
The roof of a building a few hundred meters away from Simon.
Men wearing black robes and holding mana telescopes were busy running around watching the two of them.
“Confirm target movement. Moving toward Hampton Roads.”
“i get it.”
While the men are busy moving, a pot on the roof! And the dark red flash flickered once.
Soon, a black-haired girl wearing a dark-toned long coat and a hat was knocked down. and came down from thin air.
Remembrance.
chuck.
The men bowed their heads to the girl.
“Are you here, Miss Lorraine?”
She nodded.
“What about Serene?”
“I’m moving to Hampton Roads with student Simon.”
When Lorraine held out her palm, the man politely handed over the mana spyglass. She put one of her legs on the ledge of her roof and adjusted her telescope.
In the distance, I could see Cerne and Simon walking away.
‘……Serne Eindark. What plot are they plotting this time?’
From Kizen’s point of view, Serene was like a walking time bomb.
Her ability to control the mind, like her foul play, was so influential that she arbitrarily controlled the rankings of other students in the exam.
Recently, after she deliberately interfered with the students who were fortune-telling in the Ivory Tower and dropped them from Kizen, there are even suspicions that the Ivory Tower is trying to scout them right away.
But allegations were just suspicions, and there was no solid evidence.
Serene was as clever as a fox, and acted carefully to avoid leaving evidence. She had no way of knowing from where to where she was directing. Because she was even able to erase her fragmentary memories.
‘That’s why it’s ambiguous for adults to interfere.’
Serene was a 17-year-old freshman in Keyzen, like the other students, and was taking a fair test with her own skills in Keyzen, which emphasized merit.
Of course, if you want to, you can catch another pod and expel her.
However, the upper echelons of Kizen did not want Cerne to be expelled. There were also political reasons between the internal factions, and to give up this position with the heir of the Ivory Tower as hostage was to make only Serene and the Ivory Tower do good.
The underlying concern was that if Serene passed away, the Ivory Tower might turn against Kizen in earnest.
So, Lorraine’s current mission is to stop Cerne.
There were countless cases in which adults intervened in children’s problems and developed into major disputes.
Moving Lorraine, a fellow first-year student, was a way to avoid escalating into a big fight.
‘I just need one decisive piece of evidence.’
The best situation for Lorraine was to find out Serne’s evil deeds, publicize them, and bring them to justice.
Doing so would both expel her and handicap the Ivory Tower. It was possible to imprison her according to the laws of her keygen.
Today, that opportunity has come.
Cerne approached Simon, who was the first special exception.
‘They must want Simon in the Ivory Tower.’
I’m sorry, but I never intended to leave it like that.
* * *
“yap.”
Serene let out a strange spirit and clung to Simon’s arm.
Simon flinched and tried to pull it off, but she rather boldly pressed closer.
“Wait a minute, Serene.”
Simon said with a straight face. She blinked her eyes like an innocent girl and asked in a very small voice.
“Weren’t you supposed to pretend to be friendly?”
“…Still, it’s not as tight as this. What’s the reason for doing it this way?”
“Oh, cotton candy!”
Instead of answering, Cerne pointed to a stall with a charming voice.
“I want to eat that sweet!”
“…….”
I could feel my pockets getting heavy and heavy at those words. Simon reached into his pocket and caught some of his coins.
I wondered. I know this is all acting, but why do I have to act like this?
Simon sighed inwardly and walked towards the stall and ordered two cotton candy sticks.

“Oh, isn’t it normal to buy one and share it at times like this?”
“no.”
The stall owner started making cotton candy with a chuckle.
“It’s nice to see young friends. They’re a couple, right?”
“yes!”
Serene answered right away and clung to Simon’s side. Simon mouthed him to leave, but he was ignored again.
“Gee, the young man take good care of the young lady. A pretty young lady sticks to her like that, but if you don’t pretend to see her, you’ll use it.”
“Oh ho ho! It’s okay~ It’s because I’m still shy!”
They were two very well matched people.
While the two were chattering, a fluttering feather stuck to Simon’s body.
– Can you hear me? When you hear it, just blink your eyes twice.
Simon blinked his eyes as he said.
-Don’t show off and just glance at me. The man you see two blocks to the right from here isn’t him, but the man in black and blue. yes, that person
-And right above him, the one leaning against the glass balustrade on the second floor. yes. Both of them are from the ivory tower. I just got tailed.
How unfortunate!
Simon’s head spun rapidly.
He handed the freshly made cotton candy to Serene first and said grumblingly.
“It’s because you’re so obsessed with it. It’s tiring trying to keep an eye on you wherever you go.”
Receiving the cotton candy, she smiled.
-that’s right. We are now being ‘surveilled’ by those people.
A voice came from the feathers, and she told another story.
“Isn’t a little obsession proof of healthy affection, right? Mister.”
“Well then.”
The street vendor who passed the second piece of cotton candy into Simon’s hand cleared his throat.
“It’s important to be kind when you have affection. I often regret it. Now my wife nags me every day that I can’t even make enough money…”
‘I’m really sorry, but I’m not really interested.’
Simon was lost in thought, letting someone else’s embarrassing family affairs go through one ear.
Cerne is the official successor of the Ivory Tower. Why are you being watched by the ivory tower people? And why do you have to pretend to be friendly with me because you’re being watched?
Simon glared at Serene with such a question.
-Actually, the elders of the ivory tower started to question my performance.
There are two factions within the ivory tower.
A faction that values traditional values, including Cerne and the current Ivory Tower owner, to regain their former glory by independence from Keygen.
And, including Mei Lin and her family, it is a faction that values harmony and cooperates with Kizen in line with the changing times.
Up until this point, Simon had been aware of this, but the problem was the faction on Serene’s side.
Originally, they planned to kill Simon and take over the legion, but Cerne had put Simon’s assassination on hold indefinitely with all his authority, and he himself had come forward to persuade Simon.
However, as the second semester of integration began, dissatisfaction began to emerge.
It was pointed out that he missed the right time to assassinate Simon, the first exception, as his external popularity grew, and that Cerne, who withheld the assassination, did not produce any results.
So Serene proudly brought Simone to Langersteen and showed off her friendliness in front of the people of the Ivory Tower.
-Simon. I don’t think it’s bad for you either.
Speaking with feathers, Serene took a bite of the cotton candy.
– Empower me who is friendly to you. You don’t have to turn the ivory tower into an enemy, right?
Certainly that is true.
I would die from the burden of Magnus alone, but there was no need to turn the Ivory Tower into an enemy.
“I have a question.”
Simon opened his mouth.
“Why are you helping me?”
Why are you siding with me inside the ivory tower? That’s what Simon was asking.
“Okay~”
-Because I thought you were an irreplaceable resource.
At first, Serene didn’t care who became the corps commander. Only the fact that the Ivory Tower had a corps commander mattered.
So, if Simon’s persuasion failed, he was going to get rid of him after expelling him from Kizen.
However, after experiencing various incidents and witnessing Simon’s performance right in front of him, his thoughts changed.
Who in the Ivory Tower can handle the power of the Legion as perfectly as Simon? I thought that the important thing was not the corps, but the ‘people’ who govern the corps themselves.
That’s why I got greedy, and I thought I wanted to bring the Legion and even Simon to the Ivory Tower.
“I tell you, I may not be able to reciprocate your interest.”
I have absolutely no intention of going to the ivory tower right away, and I can’t promise that I will enter after graduation.
“But right now, I’m closest, right? That’s enough.”
It is true that the ivory tower is the most advanced in the Simon recruiting battle two years from now. That’s enough for now.
After hearing the explanation, Simon’s expression finally became clear.
‘I finally understand the situation.’
The essence of Cerne’s actions is to show off to adults. That is, politics.
Hee hee hee!
Then Simon’s eyes moved. On the carriage road next to it, a horse was approaching excitedly raising dust, as if it had been wormed.
I decided to do it properly if I was going to act. Simon grabbed Cerne’s shoulders and pulled him to his side, wrapping his back around him as if to protect him.
“??”
The world’s Cerne blinked her eyes as if she were surprised. The carriage roared a little into the sidewalk and then barely turned.
After confirming the tailman’s side, Simon spoke kindly.
“are you okay?”
“…….”
Both of Serene’s cheeks turned slightly red, then a sinister smile.
“Are you thinking of escorting a lady now?”
“I’ve been doing that since before.”
said Simon as he came out to the carriage road and walked.
She laughed and hurried to the side.
* * *
Lorraine’s expression, who was watching the situation from the roof of the building, gradually hardened.
‘He really does everything.’
Clinging to your arm, sharing cotton candy, Simone walking you in the driveway, acting like a lover of some sort.
‘No matter how you think about it, Simon isn’t like that. He must have been mind-controlled.’
Lorraine zoomed through her telescope to find the feather on Simon’s body, but couldn’t find it. Perhaps the feathers are hidden under the clothes.
‘…….’
Lorraine felt a strange pang as she watched the two of them contend.
Simon couldn’t be taken away by the ivory tower in such an unsightly way.
He is Keysen’s precious strength, and I wanted him to remain in Keygen after he graduated from Keygen. Of course, that was entirely up to Simon’s choice, but I thought that Serene’s way wasn’t quite right.
“…I can’t possibly do that.”
Unable to watch the two of them eating cotton candy while walking amicably, Lorraine removed the telescope from her eyes.
“I’ll break in right now.”
