I Became The Academy Necromancer

16. The Sound of Money Rolling

Follow Leureung.

When the alarm sounds that she can’t get used to, Erica Bright waves her hands like a habit.

Took.

furry.

An alarm clock fell to the floor.

I already destroyed it several times and replaced it with a sturdy one.

“Okay.”

After a while after turning off the alarm of the clock that fell on the floor.

Forcibly waking her up, Erica rubbed her eyes and got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

Take off your clothes and take a morning shower. I tried to forget the nightmare I had today while being bathed in the warm water pouring from the sunflower shower.

The more you try to forget, the clearer your dreams come to mind.

Actually, it was the past rather than a dream.

“after.”

Too short to call it the past.

The memory of a late night that was only two months old.

“… … .”

In his memory, he was walking around the darkened Robern Academy.

Moon-viewing was simply a reason to bring it.

Actually, it was just that I was a bit cunning when I heard rumors that my fiancé was patrolling the academy alone late at night.

A man who is different from what rumors have heard, and is more caring than you think.

For Erica Bright, he was the first man she wanted to get to know more about.

The strategic engagement that was made in childhood always followed Erica like shackles, but after seeing the other person, it wasn’t as bad as I thought.

It’s only been a month since he came to Lovern. There was a time when Erica cleared her throat pretending not to notice that she was falling in love with her fiancé unexpectedly.

‘… … .’

I walk around the academy looking for him with hasty steps.

There were rumors that there were ghosts at the academy late at night, but to Erica, who was indifferent, it was no problem at all.

Rather, it’s quiet, so it’s not a bad atmosphere to enjoy a date in the name of moon viewing.

By any chance, wouldn’t it be possible to hold hands naturally?

I never thought the day would come when I, who was always evaluated as a confident, competent, and cool-headed professor, would start to think like a girl.

While Erica clicked her tongue, she carefully took off the white glove she was wearing and hid it in her pocket.

Again and again and again and again.

gigg!

A strange noise intervened between the sounds of her own shoes. Erica, who was walking down the hallway, realized that it had come from a nearby classroom, and sped up her pace slightly.

There is Professor Dayus.

Popularity felt in the classroom. In front of the door, Erica carefully touches her cheek.

Wouldn’t it have been released?

He would be taken aback if his usual cold impression suddenly changed.

Forced to act expressionless, Erica opened the classroom door.

There was Professor Deius struggling with hanging himself.

Dying!

Dying!

Dying!

The way he screamed to himself to die was like-

Kirik!

Turn on the faucet to stop the hot water pouring over your head. Then the memory of that time also swirls and disappears along with the water flowing through the drain.

“Whoa.”

After wiping off the water with a towel, Erica starts getting ready for work.

By wearing a navy blue coat over a dress shirt, she was transformed into a professor instead of Erica.

“… … .”

Look at yourself in the mirror and make up your mind again. I naturally turn my eyes to the papers attached to the wall next to the mirror.

The very first line read ‘List of Cemeteries in the Lobern Lot’.

She didn’t understand at the time, but only belatedly convinced in the middle of the academy where various incidents take place.

The reason for returning to the usual dayus in the morning.

Because I had no memory of the time.

And how he was able to voice himself when he was strangled.

seemed to know everything.

“That’s probably… … .”

* * *

“I’m possessed.”

While flipping through the bookshelf, I came up with an answer on my own, and Finden Ai, who was doing push-ups next to me, jumps up and shakes her hand.

“what?”

He frowned slightly at the reaction and paid attention.

“I’ve been thinking about it since the other day, but if you’re going to speak plain language, speak plain language. If you’re going to say something respectful, say something respectful.”

“I’m sorry, honorific words don’t stick to my lips. So what are you talking about?”

In the end, did you choose half words?

That’s okay, forcibly putting the leash on the wolf will only cause repulsion.

“The Skeleton Centipede in the family’s basement is a guy with the name ‘Ingolese’.”

“Insects? Is this the first witch you’ve heard of?”

It has to be.

“Because it’s not a witch. It is a legendary animal passed down from mouth to mouth.”

“… … A legendary animal?”

“To be precise, it should be regarded as a legendary monster.”

Finden Eye makes a strange expression with his arms crossed. He didn’t seem to understand it yet, but he seems to remember what I said earlier.

“So, what does the anthroposophic possession mean?”

“The girl I saw in the basement was in a state possessed by a human bone worm.”

Finden Eye nodded with an aha. I close the journal that Darius gave me, and put it back on the bookshelf.

“Do you have any records like that?”

“Yes, a long time ago. Several mages under orders from one of the heads of the Verdi family conducted experiments underground.”

The list was also neatly written.

Marx, Lafolk, Armen, Winnie, Sheen, Cottobero, etc.

Looking at the long list of researchers, I couldn’t help but be stunned.

“At the time, the head of Verdi, who feared the invasion of the Clark Republic, requested an experiment to summon a monster using human bones, and they responded.”

“… … Hmm?”

As if not liking something, Finden Eye tilted her head with her arms crossed. She too felt that something was strange.

I ignored it and continued talking. The part I’m going to talk about from now on will probably scratch the inside of Finden Eye the most.

“Of course, the research material used to create anthroposophytes was human bones. And in Northweden, it’s not as difficult to find a living person as you might think.”

“… … foreign people. Are you us?”

Finden Ai who gritted his teeth.

It must have been a motivation for her to save the girl underground.

It has continued to experiment with catching aliens trying to cross the North Whedon Mountains.

It wasn’t just immigrants, but most of them were immigrants anyway.

However, as a result, the Clark Republic did not invade, and the research ended in disarray, and only the underground was closed without much success.

The remaining Hans gather in the basement of Verdi’s mansion, and the experiment succeeds only after everyone has left.

‘Perhaps it was that girl who was alive until the end.’

Then, the girl became a vessel for the human bone worm, gave her heart, and became possessed by a youkai.

After that, they lived there for a long time, buried in the stinging smell of preservatives.

“But it’s an illusion. Is there really such a thing?”

I nodded slightly at Finden Ai’s reaction that he had heard it for the first time.

“It is possible. Especially if it has a strong ego or if it is a ghost with a grudge, it can ignore the owner’s resistance and dwell in the body.”

“Hoo?”

“In such cases, it can even control the original owner’s memories and emotions. You become a completely different person.”

Finden Ai, who had been warming up saying it was interesting, paused and looked at me. Then I ask with a curious mind.

“Do you have any experience?”

He didn’t bother to answer, but Finden Ai didn’t know that silence equals affirmation.

With the expression that he asked something useless, he grumbled and complained because he was embarrassed.

“Necromancers are creepy and don’t know how to live.”

Well, I think this is something that normal necromancers can’t figure out.

smart.

Then a knocking sound came from outside the room. When I order to come inside, a hesitant maid approaches me cautiously and hands me a letter.

“Do, Bocchan. A letter came from Robern Academy.”

“… … letter?”

“Ha, the dean’s seal has been stamped on it, and the falcon who brought the letter is waiting for an early reply.”

“her.”

It was quite rude, but I immediately noticed that it was an urgent situation.

I immediately opened the envelope and skimmed through the contents.

“Tsk.”

Content that you can’t help but click your tongue.

Starting with the fact that I had left my own preparedness measures for abnormal situations, but I lost them all.

A shameless request to rewrite it, and if so, a completely unappetizing bait to consider reinstatement.

Originally, I should have let you know.

Admission to the first year is just around the corner. In fact, it is the time when the main character enters the academy and the starting point of growth.

But what if it’s been ruined by demons?

It was obvious what the future of this world would be like.

Hwareuk.

I answered without hesitation, burning the letter.

“Tell me to learn polite sentences.”

It is said that it is quite urgent that the dean directly sends a letter to me, who was dismissed.

Surprised by the resoluteness without regret, the maid bowed deeply and left the room backwards.

“I like it because I go to the center of the continent when I get reinstated.”

Rather than being on the border for the scrap metal dealer, the academy in the center of the continent would be much easier to raise money or gather information.

“There are still issues to be resolved.”

“Insects? oh, good I’ll bring you an axe.”

Finden Ai jumped out of the window as it was. No matter how many times Deia warned her, that habit was not cured.

A lot of things overlapped.

There are no monsters called anthropomorphs on Earth. In a word, it means that it is a monster that has been completely spread from mouth to mouth by the people of the continent.

‘Looks like I have a lot to learn.’

He prided himself on having extensive knowledge about youkai, but it was no longer useful.

Okay.

You will be able to learn enough, and you will be able to restart your necromancy research, which has been sluggish due to lack of family support.

Because Robern Academy will give you all the money.

“I definitely gave a solution and left.”

But if you lose it, there’s nothing you can do about it. Unfortunately, from now on, you will have to pay.

Jinglang! Jinglang! Jinglang! Jinglang!

I feel like I hear the sound of golden coins rolling in somewhere.

Yes.

It was the sound of my ransom as an academy professor going up to the ceiling.
