I Became The Academy Necromancer

44. The Princess and the Dream

“Whoa.”

Returning to my room, I sighed and sat down on the hard bed.

The unique bittersweet tobacco scent of Finden Eye lingers in the room.

It seems that she cleaned it hard in her own way, but her hair and her traces are visible everywhere.

I didn’t think it would really clean perfectly anyway, so I just pretend I didn’t see it and breathe out.

Aria’s face, which left with a bright smile until the end, still lingers in my mind, and I frown.

It would be right if it was originally that I had to separate her. I probably thought so too in the first playthrough.

‘She was more ruined than I thought.’

I don’t know how it will change if I leave it alone now.

I have to fix my dependence on me, but I can’t even guess how broken it will be without me.

At first, I thought in a way that I could fall naturally while letting her help me.

Just in time, something good happened, so I gave her a separate order.

She was dissatisfied with the fact that we had to be apart, but after hearing all of my plans, she smiled brightly and said she would follow, saying that she was also a professor.

He even sobbed a little, perhaps feeling the pleasure that I needed him.

Even if it seems difficult right now.

If you go step by step, you’ll be fine.

Yes, you can do it slowly.

To save the world, there is something only she can do.

‘The attack itself should be carried out slowly. It’s just the beginning anyway.’

In terms of game, we have passed the prologue and entered the first chapter.

In addition, the growth itself was already in the second round, so there was no need to rush.

‘I just need to take good care of Aria’s mentality.’

I suddenly became a babysitter, but I couldn’t help it. After all, she was in a position to save this continent.

[Look at this.]

At that time, I heard off-white in my ears. It was a voice reminiscent of a siren, a gentle creature of the sea, that was soft and alluring.

When I raised my head slightly, there stood a woman in black with a robe covering her entire body and her mouth covered with a cloth.

It was so terrifying that someone would call it a ghost if they saw it, but it was actually a ghost.

Besides, I had seen her once.

“Yes, I was looking for it, but you came first.”

A person who was captured by the angel of Setima and spewed out the magic of boundary that destroys life and death.

He was a necromancer who had been summoned by Gideon and died in vain.

[Where did you get that book?]

The necromancer points to an old book among the piles of books, as if to avoid arguing with people who already know everything.

I was told to put the books on the bookshelf, and leave them alone if there are no bookshelves, but it was the work of Finden Ai who piled up the tower.

anyway.

What she pointed to was the magic book that Arya had obtained and that I had purchased from an undercover merchant.

“I asked the merchant. I was lucky.”

[That’s mine.]

“… … I see.”

I’m sure Arya said she stole it from a brilliant necromancer. It seemed that there was an unintended connection with this woman.

[I came out to the world for a while to retrieve that book, and the Geronia family contacted me and helped me once.]

“So you want me to give it back?”

[…] … No, you don’t need it anymore. Because he died.]

A necromancer who calmly accepts his own death. There may be an unfair side, but originally black magicians are a tribe that doesn’t feel strange when they die.

In particular, since the necromancer is always close to the soul, there will be many cases in which he is calm in the face of death.

“Then why did you come?”

When asked calmly, the necromancer let out a sigh.

[Originally, it was revenge. Either way, it’s because he died so miserably. But now that doesn’t matter.]

“… … .”

[I’m being chased now. As I die, the evil spirits that were bred by me are released and are looking for me.]

“… … That’s why there are still quite a few demons in the academy.”

I press my throbbing hair with my fingers. Obviously, the case was solved and the number of evil spirits decreased, but I was a little surprised that there were more than expected.

When this necromancer died at the academy, it wouldn’t be strange if evil spirits with a grudge came rushing in to her.

[That’s why I’m hiding here. If it’s by your side, evil spirits can’t come to you.]

“… … .”

[I thought he was just a necromancer who hid his identity… … Can you wake up and see all the souls wandering the continent?]

“Okay, how are you?”

[I could only see some of them with strong resentment. Now that I’ve died like this, I can see how many souls are floating around on the continent.]

The necromancer regrets that it would have been nice if he knew a little sooner.

“Can’t you use magic after you die?”

Since the soul is made up of some kind of mana, I wondered if it would be possible for her as a mage.

The necromancer shook his head.

[Impossible. It should contain enough resentment to replace the body, but I don’t have that kind of regret.]

“Good.”

[Yes?]

I jump up and look at the necromancer. When I saw him sitting down, I thought he was quite tall, but when he got up, he was up to about my shoulders.

It was definitely tall for a woman.

“What is your name, necromancer.”

[Call me the Dark Spirit. Because it is known that way on the continent.]

black magician.

He is a very notorious necromancer even in the game. However, it does not appear in the game separately.

“From now on, teach me your necromancy.”

[Ha, you want to use me?]

The Dark Spirit crosses his arms, saying, “It’s not the same.” The tail of the mouth hidden behind the cloth was sneering.

[Did you look down on me for being a dead person? The necromancer is nothing like myself. I would rather have buried it, but I have no intention of making a disciple.]

“It’s not just asking for help. This is a contract.”

[What contract? It protects me from evil spirits, isn’t it? I avoided them, but I’m not afraid of them.]

“No, not like that.”

It just went well.

I just had something in my pocket that would be perfect for convincing her.

He quietly takes out the jewel Arya gave him from his bosom.

[Leme, Getton?]

The dark mage said he couldn’t believe it and stretched out his hand after unfolding his arms. But when I clenched my fist to hide it, he hesitated and glared at me.

[That, where did you get that? A treasure I couldn’t find no matter how much I searched!]

“You don’t need to know that. Dark Spirit, I am giving you a chance.”

[…] … .]

“The end of necromancy that you have not reached. Right now, in front of you, is a wizard who will change the entire concept of necromancy that runs through this entire continent.”

He has a gift that no necromancer has, an eye that can see all the dead.

There is also knowledge about the future.

Even a fraudulent item called Remegeton came into my hands.

With enough time, I was convinced that I could become a necromancer who would shake the continent.

“I can leave a small footprint in my footsteps. It is to push the back of the man who will see the end of the necromancer you longed for.”

[…] … .]

“It doesn’t matter if you’re not there. It will take a little longer, but eventually I will get to the end.”

The Dark Spirit clenched his fists. She, too, saw the potential in me.

“You are dead, so everything is over. A dream that must be given up. But I will look at that dream from the side and help you.”

The hand holding the Remegeton slowly reached forward and asked for a handshake.

She took my hand without hesitation, without thinking for a long time.

[Call me Master.]

with bullshit.

“Get out of my room, Dark Mage.”

* * *

The warm sunlight gently lays on the golden hair. If there is a grade for color, her hair color is probably the highest grade and will be highly praised by experts.

Such a beautiful golden color was a characteristic of the royal family and a symbol of hundreds of years of history.

“Princess, it’s time to wake up.”

Princess Eleanor Luden Griffin wakes up to the voice of the maid calling her carefully.

Eleanor, who fell asleep on the desk instead of the bed she was used to, naturally leans against the backrest and stretches.

“Was I sleeping?”

I was obviously preparing for essential subjects before entering the academy, but then I seemed to fall asleep.

“You work too hard, Princess. Take a little break.”

“Haam, it’s embarrassing to be rumored to be stupid at the academy even though you’re from royalty.”

No matter how much you say it’s a place of learning, there is something about the dignity of being a member of the royal family.

Even if it was impossible to get to first place in school, it was necessary to get at least 3rd place.

‘Well?’

Sensing something strange, Eleanor warms up and gets up from her seat.

After simply washing her body with the wet towel brought by the lady-in-waiting, she takes off her pajamas and puts on other clothes.

“Still, it’s fortunate that you don’t seem to have nightmares when you go to bed while studying.”

“… … Uh, sure.”

Eleanor smiles softly when she realizes that she woke up without a dream.

“I should sleep like this often.”

“My heart was heavy to see him wake up in a hurry every day wet with sweat from his nightmares.”

“Ah, I can’t help it. It’s a dream that’s more shocking than I thought. But I’m fine now.”

“Yes?”

When the maid asked questions, Eleanor grinned.

“Originally, I was scared because I didn’t know it was a dream. Now I’ve found a way to realize it’s a dream.”

“Is there such a thing?”

After putting on the dress, the lady-in-waiting, who was kneeling in front of her this time to put on her shoes, asked in doubt.

“Yeah, it’s simpler than I thought. Dreams have no scent.”

Eleanor laughed and took a deep breath through her nose.

“Look bar, now in my room… … .”

“… … .”

“In my room… … .”

There is no scent.

“uh?”

Embarrassed, Eleanor steps back. The shoes that were half worn came off and rolled on the floor.

The maid got up slowly.

“what? you… … Who is it?”

Come to think of it, I don’t remember that maid’s face.

The maid smiles with satisfaction as she sees Eleanor like that.

“Is it the scent?”

“Huh! Huh!”

Eleanor woke up in a thick sweat. Like flushing the toilet, a flood of information pours into your head.

Yes, I have already entered the academy, and this is a dormitory.

The top spot was taken away, but the grades are at the top.

Also, I still couldn’t get out of the nightmare I had for a very long time.
