I Became The Academy Necromancer

27. The Negotiation Table

“Would you like some tea?”

Asked by the maid who guided Keren and the dean, Deius motioned her away.

“It’s okay, I’m not a guest to treat.”

When he was openly told that he was an uninvited guest, the dean forcibly endured the wriggling of the skin on his face, biting his teeth.

He, too, is a man who sits in the position of dean of the academy.

Because he was a man who made a rational choice in a situation prepared in advance, even when his emotions were running high and his judgment was clouded.

“I’m sorry, Professor Deius.”

He bowed politely and began.

“The dismissal of the professor was very unfair, and there was no proper confirmation process. I skipped facts because I was focused on simple rumors.”

This was partly because it was supported by the testimony of trusted professors named Erica and Gideon.

In the first place, only a visiting professor.

That was also Erica’s connection, but since she threw it out, there was no need to keep it, so there were some that I cut lightly.

“I don’t need an apology.”

Deus spat out emotionlessly. He looked like he really didn’t care.

“I wonder if the doubts about my actions have now been resolved. I want to ask you from that.”

while knowing everything

Karen knew that Deius was asking for such a question and answer on purpose, but from the dean’s point of view, she had no choice but to answer.

Because this was the position of absolute Eul now.

“Yes, I knew it was to solve the evil spirits that roam the academy.”

“… … .”

“Me, we were also new to such beings, so we were not good at coping. sorry.”

evil spirits.

In a word, ghosts.

I thought it was a very mysterious existence.

Among black magicians, there are beings who handle corpses and turn them into undead.

These people are called morgues.

They use a corpse and cannot deal with the soul contained within it.

That’s why among black magicians, necromancers who deal with souls were more valuable.

Here comes Karen.

“I have a question for you, Lord Deius.”

The dean was taken aback by the unexpected interference, but Dayus naturally turned his attention from the dean to Keren.

“What is.”

“I too have crossed many lines of fire and experienced a lot. Among them, there was also something related to necromancy.”

“Go ahead,” Deius nodded.

“I know that the soul goes into rest after death. to fall into an eternal sleep. However, I have heard that even among them, those with strong resentment or strong ego often wake up as souls.”

Deus didn’t say anything. It sounded right.

“We know that most of these spirits cannot be seen, touched, or interfered with by us. If you have to ask.”

Glance.

Keren looks at Darius and Deia once in a while and naturally observes their reactions.

“Only a necromancer would be able to do that.”

wriggling

Deia kept her composure, but swayed slightly from Darius’ side.

‘50% chance of becoming a necromancer.’

Karen raised the odds from within and continued talking naturally.

“I will be honest with you. We have secretly summoned a necromancer to resolve this situation.”

Darius and Deia swallow their breath. Not only that, but the dean was glaring at him, asking why he said such a thing.

But I couldn’t help it.

I wanted to give a little shake to that man who did not show any reaction like a wooden stone and maintained a poker face.

‘Now, what’s the reaction?’

What kind of reaction will it have?

I was curious.

“uh?”

Conversely, seeing Deus’ expression, Karen let out a bewildered breath.

because.

he was angry

with a more frowned upon expression.

To the extent that veins protruded from his white forehead hidden by black hair.

“Pitiful, something.”

Deus exhaled as if breathing out. Deius’ reaction was harsh enough to make Darius and Deia take a step back.

The air around them has changed.

A chill beyond the level of being cold settled firmly in the room.

No one here knew that it was because of a man named Deius.

“I must have written a letter. Did you ignore what was written in number 8?”

“… … Eight times, eight times! That was the missing number you were talking about!”

Then, just this time, Deius’ eyes trembled slightly. He was silent for a moment, then let out a breath, then returned to his expressionless expression.

“I see. That’s why things have gotten this far.”

Deius, who understands something alone. Karen asked curiously.

“What the hell was written on number 8?”

“… … .”

Deus, who glanced at Karen, spat out as if tossing out that he had nothing to do with it anymore.

“I wrote down not to provoke them carelessly.”

“ah.”

“Since the necromancer was summoned, the situation must have gotten more serious?”

As if he had been waiting for those words, the dean answered coldly.

“Oh, that’s right! Now, because of that, students and professors are in great pain. In particular, many of the students who lived on the second floor of the dormitory are now in a coma and cannot even wake up!”

At those words, Deia held her breath as if her emotions had softened, and glanced at Deius.

However, it was unfortunate that such a situation happened to the students.

However, Deius calmly declared.

“I became such an emotional seller. Gradually, Saddam will end, and it will begin.”

“Off.”

The dean intended to use the students as a strategy for conversion, but Deius said it coldly like ice.

Take out the contract Keren brought from your bag and hand it to Deus.

For a moment, he carefully reviewed the contract, then quietly held it out and replied.

“It falls far short of my standards.”

“Yes? yes?”

The dean, with his mouth wide open like a toad, raised his voice by saying that it was nonsense.

“Oh no! This is what the best professors get! Sir Deius is still a new professor with no seniority! In fact, even this makes no sense!”

“Then let’s go back.”

Looking at Deius, who replied that there was no negotiation at all, the dean felt as if his insides were burning.

What if I can’t catch him now?

The screams and screams of the students can already be heard from the academy. And the responsibility of the parents who will follow.

Until royal support was cut off.

Dizzy, the dean asked with trembling lips.

“Well, how much more do you want? If you tell me the amount, I will match it as best I can.”

“200 million, I’ll settle for just 200 million gold.”

“ah… … .”

What did this lunatic just say?

A situation where the intestines are twisted. The sweat was already soaking all over his body, as if he had been hit by rain, beyond the level he could wipe off.

He sneakily sends a signal to Karen to help.

Isn’t he a veteran who has done a lot of push and pull in relation to compensation while working as a mercenary?

It seemed that Karen, who had been through a lot of childbirth, would be better than the dean, who has been sitting at the head of her desk and just rolling her head.

Eventually, Karen also sneaks forward and intervenes.

“At any rate, 200 million is too many. Professor Deius, to be honest, my annual salary is 7,000. It’s a first-time job, so isn’t it too greedy?”

“Hmm.”

“You have to compromise with at least 150 million… … .”

“If you are thinking of negotiating the market version, please go back.”

Deus put his hand on the desk and interjected Karen’s words.

He didn’t back down in the slightest. Deus, who stood firm like a mountain, gave the opponent a strange sense of confinement.

The dean reacted almost fainting with every word he uttered.

“No, no! 200 million? 200 million? What nonsense is that!”

“Hmm.”

Deus picked up a quill beside him and added something to the contract.

“Additional annual research equipment support.”

“What, what!”

Didn’t you just say no to yourself?

The dean was confused whether the profuse sweat was his own tears.

“Joe, give me a little room for compromise. 200 million is too many!”

“Hmm.”

In addition!

In addition! that hmm!

The dean wanted to have his mouth sewn up. Every time Deius opened his mouth, it felt as if his lifespan was reduced by one year.

“Privatization of research equipment used for 4 years. After all, other professors won’t be able to use what I used again.”

“Ahhh!”

Are you saying that you will own the things you bought with the academy’s expenses after 4 years?

Such a bitch!

“What nonsense is that! To privatize things bought with the academy’s finances!”

“We even add access to the Index of Banned Books in the Millennium Library in the royal family.”

I think I’m going to lose my mind.

Seriously, only the desire to slap that bastard’s mouth was seething in the dean.

Even because of Verdi’s giant, Darius, who glared at him from the side with his eyes wide open, he couldn’t go beyond clenching his fists.

“Oh, no. Please judge a little calmly! please!”

“We also add quarterly private business trips for research-related data research and site checks.”

“aaa!”

“Wait a minute.”

Karen urgently shuts the dean’s mouth. To be completely caught up in the character of Deius, I was willing to give up my liver and gallbladder.

Keren was honestly offended by the damp sweat on her palms, but she asked Deius first.

“I will check one thing for now. If Sir Deus reinstates, will the current situation really be resolved?”

“Yes.”

A simple, yet very bold statement. That’s why it gave more credibility.

It was because he was so confident that he didn’t need to attach a sajok.

In addition to that, Deius declared that he was cold.

“You seem to be misunderstanding something.”

He slowly leans his back against the backrest. If there was tea, it was an atmosphere that would have been enjoyed with an elegant and leisurely sip.

“This is not a negotiation.”

That was perfectly correct.

It was a threat, not a negotiation.

If you want to save the academy, you were saying that you should pay as much as you want.

It was a mistake to start by simply seeing him as a professor. In fact, the fate of the academy was at stake.

It was Karen, who frankly admitted that she was too swayed by her teaching job.

That’s why Karen suddenly let the question out of her mouth.

“Are you really thinking of returning to work?”

Deus paused for a while.

“There is not.”

answered sternly.
