I Became The Academy Necromancer

37. Academy Battle (4)

“I’m busy, I’m busy.”

Findenai, chattering beside me, puts an ax on his shoulder. He grumbled, but the corners of his mouth drew an arc.

At first, I thought I liked the axe, but listening to what he said, it wasn’t just that.

“Are the souls going more easily than you thought?”

“… … They didn’t wake up because they wanted to.”

Finden-Ai stopped walking at my words and slowly turned her head. Her big bloody eyes looked at me curiously.

“What are you talking about?”

“If they woke up because they really wanted to, if there was something they wished for, it wouldn’t have ended so easily.”

“… … Please explain in a way that is easy to understand.”

Finden-I, who is irritated for no reason. I don’t have to explain everything to her, but I was just a little bit far from where I had to go, so I headed forward to organize my thoughts and continued the conversation.

“When I was at the academy for the first three months, I had many questions while relieving the resentment of the souls and keeping the evil spirits in check.”

“Well.”

“Among them, the biggest question was that the demons that were supposed to be asleep were awakened and had too much power.”

It wasn’t enough to take human life, but it was enough to intervene in reality.

This was not just the residents of Setima, but also the evil spirits full of malice and hostility in the academy.

Here, Finden Eye makes a strange expression.

“Isn’t that possible? They could just be demons with a strong resentment.”

Although such cases are extremely rare, they do exist.

For example, the case of the widow I met in the carriage on the way to Lovern was a very rare case in which resentment could harm the living.

Of course, even that was largely due to the momentary amplification of resentment as she projected Illuania, who was pregnant, onto herself.

anyway.

“It can never happen.”

“Can’t you?”

“Yes, I can’t explain this to you in detail, but I’m sure.”

Because it wasn’t like this in the original game. Even if there was an episode of the academy’s ghost story, it was in the form of a side branch and was not a very important part.

However, looking at the current situation, it has already gone too far. It was not a side branch, but a crisis of the main episode level.

“Um, isn’t that what the owner came to do?”

It was Finden Ai who was starting to reason, but I shook my head.

“At the time, I was an idiot who hadn’t even mastered necromancy. Even if I came like that, it wouldn’t have had any effect on the souls.”

He was a child of Finden, who tilted his head to find an answer in his own way, but in the end he declared surrender.

“You’re not asking me to find the culprit, are you? According to the owner, it means that there is a separate dark side that awakened the spirits of the academy and gave strength to the evil spirits.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

dark-haired girl.

So, the Angel of Setima just woke up and received strength through that darkness.

There’s no way she can do anything on her own.

After all, she was just a thought body created by the people of Setima.

It can be seen that it is the same as that of an insect worm.

Just like Marx, who created the legendary monster, the human bone bug, through countless blood and corpses.

The identity of the girl named Angel was created by gathering the wishes of the people of Setima.

And there is a being who has endowed such an angel with power.

“You’ve found out who it is, so you’re talking to me like this?”

Finden Ai, who passed away his thoughts because he was confident, smiled. Yes, swinging an ax suits her best rather than shyly rolling her head.

“Yeah, I figured it out.”

Originally, I didn’t know until I arrived in Lovern.

Because the incident itself has already deviated from common sense.

But I figured it out.

To be precise, the culprit revealed himself to me.

“But I don’t have the time to think about it right now. First of all, we should solve the case and then listen to the reason.”

“OK.”

The place we arrived at was the women’s dormitory. Climbing the stairs and arriving at the second floor, in the center of the hallway, a large man with a split head was waving his hands in the air.

[Come on]

It looks like it’s hugging people.

Finden-Ei immediately frowned upon seeing him.

“Isn’t it the place where all the kids are in a coma on the second floor of the girls’ dormitory?”

“That man is the main culprit that put you in a coma.”

“Hmm, what kind of evil spirit is that?”

He was a bit of a pitiful sort. It wasn’t the intention, but the result was no different from evil.

“He was the man who ran the orphanage in Setima. It must be the same as he tried to protect the children by hugging them right before he died.”

It was like a samurai in my hand.

Just as the warrior lost consciousness and tried to protect the central entrance on the first floor, that spirit thought it was protecting itself, but in reality it seemed to have trapped the students in their dreams.

“I’ve been carrying the burden for too long, and I’ve become too preoccupied with it.”

Even if he quietly thrust his sword forward, the sword strike did not come out. Musa trembled with his sword and did not want to harm him.

He wanted me to know that the man had no ill intentions.

“It’s a different story than the kids at the gym. Whatever the intentions, it is the evil spirit that has caused so many female students to fall into a coma.”

[…] … .]

“If you won’t do it, I will.”

When the blue flame was rolled up with mana in his hand, Musa then fired a sword strike and cut down the evil spirit.

[Come on]

The fragmented soul flutters to the floor and falls. Standing in front of him, I calmly reached out my hand.

“Let the children go.”

[Wolf… … .]

“It’s okay to fall asleep. I will take your place.”

Then, the soul becomes a group of light and disappears. He also went into rest like the others.

There was a thud in some of the rooms and the sound of children rolling off the bed.

Perhaps it will take some time for you to come to your senses, as you have just woken up from a dream that never ends.

“Findenai, take the kids and go outside and join the others. Perhaps there are children who cannot move with their own legs.”

“What is the owner going to do?”

“All urgent fires are now extinguished.”

Power goes into the hand holding the sword. Most of the incidents that existed before the barrier was created have been resolved.

It could be really dangerous if time dragged on like it is now.

“Now I’m going to solve the barrier.”

“… … Will you be okay by yourself?”

I glanced back at Finden-Ai, wondering if she was worried about me, and she took out a cigarette from her pocket and put it in her mouth as she answered.

“It’s the first payday in a week.”

“Heh.”

Hwareuk!

The tobacco that Findenai is holding in her mouth burns as it is from the flame I raised.

She hurriedly opens her mouth, stomps on it to put out the fire, and glares at me.

“Ah! It was a mat!”

“No smoking in front of me. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, so I quickly forgot.”

“Now go! Mr. Ay! All right, go away! Even if you go and search, they won’t save you.”

Leaving the grumbling Finden Eye behind, I headed back to the academy’s main building.

It turned out to be a very long night.

In order to face tomorrow with even a little less fatigue, it was necessary to end it at this point.

* * *

I felt that the wind on the roof was much stronger than before.

If I remember correctly, the last time I came up was a quick coffee break with Erica Bright.

[I’m here?]

Just like that time, this time too, a girl waiting for me on the roof.

[Long time no see.]

The dark-haired girl smiled and waved at me kindly.

I also nodded and calmly stood in front of her.

“Why did you go to such lengths?”

[…] … .]

“Didn’t I tell you before I left? Wait calmly and prepare for your rest.”

[yes.]

The reason why I thought that even if I left the academy, the remaining residents of Setima would be able to find peace was because of this child.

Because she was Setima’s wish.

[I thought about it after you left.]

A small soul pops out like a wisp of fire from inside the girl who slowly raises her hand.

It soon began to grow and became the new type of curvy woman.

The woman was in the same pose as a saint known to have been crucified.

However, it was the girl’s many strands of hair that supported and restrained her.

The girl’s hair entwined the woman’s curvy body like a vine.

[Is it really okay to let the residents of Setima close their eyes?]

“… … .”

[Those who were murdered for no reason and died mercilessly, crying out only the name of God and hoping for salvation, not revenge.]

“… … .”

[Those who didn’t even mention revenge in order to look good to the goddess who didn’t help them until they died.]

“… … .”

[No matter how tortured they were, they shed tears and asked God to forgive the kingdom army.]

The girl’s hair gradually starts to grow longer. The sword he is holding trembles in a menacing and menacing manner.

[Maybe I was just ignorant?]

“Even if that’s true, it’s already over.”

[…] … After all, you always did.]

As if angry at not taking her side, the girl’s hair squirmed and squeezed the ground so hard that cracks began to appear on the floor.

[You have always acted by putting the living first.]

“… … .”

[Listening to our voices, being able to see our faces, talking and being together with us! Why can’t you understand us!]

I can feel her ferocious hostility to push me away through her desperate cries.

[Even if everyone in the world doesn’t understand our ghosts, shouldn’t you be on our side?]

“There is a natural order in everything.”

I answered, raising my hand and forcing her hostility.

“I have been fighting for you.”

There was a time when he protected the ghosts of Setima who were being harassed by other evil spirits.

“I have listened to your story.”

Originally, there were more ghosts of Setima than this, but I let them sleep in peace one by one for three months before being expelled.

“I deeply sympathize with you.”

People who died were often the same as they were when they died.

The reason Setima’s ghosts looked grotesque on the outside meant that they suffered just as much right before they died.

“But since I am truly sympathetic to you, I have no choice but to set the line.”

[…] … !]

Blue flames of will rise around me.

I couldn’t leave yet, and the vengeful spirits of Setima who were responsible came along to help me.

“Even if it sounds cruel, I can’t help it. The dead must remain dead. Do not cross the boundaries of the living.”

[you… … !]

“The people of Setima were foolish? Didn’t they shout revenge because they were ignorant? Yes, it could be.”

In fact, most people would probably feel nothing but stupidity.

Who the hell can bless someone who has harmed them?

but.

“Even so, it does not mean that we can judge whether it is right or wrong.”

[…] … Do not be ridiculous.]

“I don’t judge. I just listen to what the ghosts want.”

[Don’t say bullshit!]

“Setima’s wish in the name of happiness has finally come this far. You twisted it, twisted it, distorted it and created this division.”

girl.

So, to put it bluntly, there was only one reason why that thought body called an angel was moving.

For the wish of the nameless girl who wished the people of Setima to be happy.

But that thought body named Angel made a wish to be happy.

Forcibly twisted and twisted.

In order to be happy, you have to give the same pain.

In order to protect them, they must show their strength to the academy.

It was very sad.

If I had been with you, the angel wouldn’t have been ruined this far.

It’s a shame because we’ve been working together for the sake of Setima’s ghosts for a while.

“Now you are a demon.”

I made my way towards her with my fists clenched.

“So don’t exorcise you.”
