Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 130

Episode 130. Reputation and evaluation

‘When will Adrias come?’

As the school year approaches, Vivian, who had been focusing on training, could not hide her excitement.

Adrias, who had heard that he was going somewhere on business, hadn’t heard from him until two days before school started.

‘I heard that the Ash Dormitory is also closed… … .’

Two students died as a result of an unexplained incident.

I thought it was a good thing Adrias was out during the break.

Vivian, who was waiting for Adrias to return while wandering the academy grounds, welcomed an unexpected guest.

“Hello, senior Vivian! My name is Richard Wilson, Year 1.”

Three men approached her.

It was Marvin Garrett and two newspaper members on a field trip from Vulkan Academy.

Vivian looked at them with an expressionless face.

“That Vivian senior. This is a man named Marvin Garrett, who was on a field trip from Vulcan Academy, and I came here to see if I could interview him.”

“interview?”

“yes. I want to conduct interviews with students who are active at Rodlen Academy.”

“students? Is there anyone else besides me?”

“yes. I plan to invite other people to do joint interviews.”

Dexter interjected from the side.

Vivian asked while Marvin watched with interest from the side.

“Are you going to ask Adrias too?”

“Senior Adrias? I would like to ask, but I do not yet know if I will participate.”

“Adrias hasn’t come yet. Ask me when.”

“ah! If it’s Adrias-senpai, I just ran into him. But I didn’t have time to ask because it was urgent. I plan to request an interview right away.”

Dexter’s words widened Vivian’s eyes.

Then, suddenly, I grabbed him by the shoulder.

“Senior Seo?”

“Is Adrias here? Where are you?”

“yes? Oh, that was the site of the Faculty of Magic, and it probably went in the direction of the infirmary. There was a bit of friction with Diane Alven senior.”

As soon as he heard that, Vivian quickly headed somewhere.

Richard shouted at her.

“Vi Vivian senior? The interview… … ?”

“If Adrias does it, I will too.”

They were going so fast that after that, Vivian disappeared from sight.

Richard was dazed at the unexpected appearance of Vivian, who had only seen a quiet and cold appearance.

Marvin, who was watching the scene, coughed.

“that… … It may be a little rude to say this, but perhaps it’s because they are promising people, so they have excellent personalities.”

“That’s right.”

“By the way, Vivian-sama seems to have a close relationship with Adrias-sama?”

Richard nodded at Marvin’s question.

“As far as I know, I heard that they conducted an external evaluation together. Then I heard rumors that they met a black magician by chance and joined forces to subdue them.”

“As expected, did you already subdue the black magician because it was different from the cotyledon? That’s great, you two.”

Then, with a sudden thought, Marvin asked Richard.

“Didn’t the person named Adrias I saw earlier say that he was the unofficial number one? After all, this is a family, right?”

“That’s right.”

“If Vivian Velokan and Adrias Cromwell fight, Adrias-sama will win, right? After all, it’s the unofficial number one.”

“that… … .”

When Richard hesitated to answer, Dexter nodded as if he was thinking about something.

“of course. I admit that senior Vivian is also a great swordsman, but she won’t be able to conquer the Tower of Modras.”

“I don’t know! In a one-on-one match, Vivian senior could win.”

“What are you talking about? Even in the newspaper club, Adrias sunbaenim’s unofficial 1st place is considered an established theory, but if Vivian senpai was to win, Vivian senpai would have been the unofficial 1st place.”

“That’s because you couldn’t see Vivian’s real skills. Didn’t you see Louis and Vivian seniors sparring during vacation? If you saw it, you wouldn’t even say that.”

“Then what do you do? The unofficial number one is Adrias. Also, don’t argue with me, but with the seniors in the newspaper club. I didn’t make the unofficial ranking.”

Marvin waved his hand at the pride battle between the two undergraduate students that suddenly heated up.

“Oops, I said something stupid. I just asked because I was curious because I didn’t know what Adrias showed during the evaluation. After all, other countries are only interested in tournaments.”

Marvin, who laughed awkwardly and tried to stop the two of them, soon fixed his gaze somewhere.

There, Louis and Serena were just coming out of the gym together.

“ah! How about this one?”

“What do you mean?”

“I am asking both of you. They are high-level people, so I’m curious about their opinions.”

The newspaper staff turned their heads and saw Louis and Serena just about to come this way. Then he immediately approached the two and spoke to them.

“Louis! Serena!”

“Ah Richard! What are you doing here?”

Louise greeted me with a dazzling smile.

“It just went well. Other than that, there is a student from another academy who came to visit our newspaper department.”

“Other academies? that person?”

“uh. You are from Vulkan Academy.”

Marvin came late and said hello.

“My name is Marvin Garrett. i look forward to.”

“My name is Louis Atman. nice to meet you.”

“I’m Serena Estial.”

Richard looked at Dexter and asked.

“Can I interview you?”

“me? Or Serena?”

“both. It’s not right now, but I’m going to ask them all later and collect them for an interview?”

Richard briefly concluded his explanation of the interview.

After hearing the story, Serena nodded as if it was interesting.

“I love it.”

“How are you Louis?”

“You mean you haven’t asked Adrias-senpai yet?”

“uh? Yes. yes.”

“Once I got it. I will join too.”

After hearing Louis’s confirmation, Marvin bowed his head beside him.

“thank you.”

“no. What is this?”

And I held the two of them for a while as they were about to leave.

To the two who wondered what was going on, Marvin replaced the question with a smile that Richard and Dexter couldn’t ask because they were looking at each other.

“Excuse me, but I have a question, can I ask you two?”

“sure.”

“Did you know that a man named Adrias Cromwell is ranked #1 in the unofficial ranking by the newspaper club?”

“Unofficial ranking?”

Serena, who was next to her, asked.

It was a story that only came out for analysis purposes in the newspaper department, so it was a first for the two of them.

“I didn’t know.”

“That’s right. Do you two know Adrias? Maybe you don’t know because you’re a student at the Faculty of Magic… … .”

“I know.”

“i know.”

At the answer that burst out at the same time, Marvin’s expression became exciting.

The hunch that there must be something if the answer came right away shook Marvin’s intuition.

“Then do you agree that Adrias Cromwell is the unofficial number one in the rankings? Anyway, I just ran into a woman named Vivian Velocan, and that’s what came up. If Adrias and Vivian fight, who will win?”

At Marvin’s question, the two thought for a moment.

Serena was the first to speak.

“I’m only a freshman, so my academy life isn’t long. But, speaking from my experience… … .”

Serena, who was speechless for a moment, continued as if she had made up her mind.

“If you fight only with a sword, you will have a whistle. However, if Adrias-senpai even uses magic, I think he will raise Adrias-senpai’s hand at 70%.”

“oh!”

Marvin exclaimed, Richard frowned, and Dexter looked smug.

But Serena’s words weren’t over.

“But I don’t know until I see it. Actually, I heard that Adrias-senpai doesn’t have much talent for magic. If you use magic and a sword at the same time, it seems that your concentration will be scattered and you will become weaker.”

“surely! Maybe.”

There was no law saying that using magic would help unconditionally.

Even if you use magic in an urgent situation to move your body, it could be rather a hindrance with normal concentration.

“What do you think of Louis?”

At Serena’s question, Louis, who was still deep in thought, smiled vaguely.

“well?”

“Still, you’ve been hanging out with Vivian-senpai. How much do you not get an estimate for?”

“hmm… … .”

After thinking for a moment, Louis said.

“Because I haven’t fought Adrias-senpai before. Still, I saw enough of that strength in the Tower of Modras. It’s a bit ambiguous, but just by feeling… … .”

All eyes turned to Louise’s mouth.

“Vivian-senpai just wanted to fight once. Do you feel like you have a lot to learn even if you lose? From the outside, I don’t know if Vivian-senpai is strong, but when she stands in front of her with a sword, she’s overwhelmed by the violent power that seems like she’ll be torn to shreds.”

“Is that enough?”

“You can ask for it later. I was able to learn quite a bit.”

“Then, what about Adrias-senpai?”

“The sky above the sky.”

It was an immediate answer.

It was just one word, but Serena nodded as if she understood.

It wasn’t that she didn’t understand what he was saying, as she had been dealing with him in person.

“It’s a bit embarrassing, but the moment I stood in front of Adrias-senpai, I lost my will to fight. It was so deep and dark that I couldn’t tell.”

As Louis spoke, he remembered Adrias climbing the tower of Modras.

As expected, his cool-headed appearance as well as his intelligent and calculated movements made me see and feel many things.

‘Someday definitely… … .’

In Monas, there was no goal because he was the overwhelming chief.

However, now that he came to Rodlene, there were so many people to catch up with.

That’s why every day I work harder.

Lewis’s fist tightened as he spoke while thinking of Adrias.

“Thank you both for your comments. Then, when the interview date is set later, we will contact you.”

“All right.”

When Louis and Serena disappeared, Richard tried to ignore Dexter with a slightly downcast expression, and Dexter made fun of Richard.

“Did you hear? It is the sky above the sky.”

“okay. But if you’re not Adrias-senpai, why are you so arrogant?”

Watching the conversation between the two, Marvin couldn’t hide his excitement at the news he was bringing to the main school, thinking that it was a good thing to visit Rodlen Academy.

‘Adrias Cromwell. The scoop yet to be revealed! I’m looking forward to the interview.’

* * *

The incident with Diene was wrapped up lightly.

It was something that could have been punished, but it passed quietly as Diene let it go.

After finishing the day like that, I was on my way to Dersion Academy, where I was staying for the first time, when someone came to visit me.

“Student Adrias!”

“Morgan.”

A faculty member under the direct control of the principal, Deos Canyon.

Is it because you went to the hidden dungeon? It felt like we had met after a very long time.

“I’m glad you returned safely.”

“yes. Long time no see.”

“Could you have a moment?”

Morgan is calling, is Deos looking for me?

“yes. it’s okay.”

“Principal Deos said he had something he wanted to share with Adrias. Then, let’s go to the administration building right now.”

Don’t you know I have a tablet yet?

You wouldn’t have to come in person.

Anyway, I followed him straight to the principal’s office.

“Welcome, Student Adrias. Thank you for your hard work Morgan.”

As Morgan left, Theos gestured to his seat.

“Sit down.”

“yes.”

What are you talking about?

I’m just guessing, but I hoped.

That’s because it’s a story that I wouldn’t have thought of if it was the old Adrias.

“Student Adrias, can you guess why I called?”

“As soon as I returned, I heard unusual news. Strange things happened in the Ash Dormitory.”

“I am also an Adrias student. You guessed right.”

What I guessed was correct.

Originally, it would have been to ask Diene and the seniors from the Knights Faculty, and Louis, not me.

That’s the original scenario in the game.

Now that Diene has already been put in, is the only thing that has changed is that I have been added?

I don’t know if Lewis will join as scheduled, as the timing has sped up.

‘Although I have a flash, you see.’

I’ve never really felt much fame, but it works this way.

“This is a request and an offer. You may refuse.”

“Is it an investigation?”

“you’re right. We will give you additional points for graduation when you find clues about this case or solve the cause. How is it?”

It’s not bad.

The graduation requirements for Rodlen Academy were very demanding.

That’s why it’s said that getting into school is easy but graduating is difficult.

Now, as I am in the 2nd semester of my 4th year, the time has come to pay attention to graduation.

“I also asked Diene Alven for help. And Professor Iselin and Professor Caron have been working as a team until now.”

The professors were originally replaced by Bahat.

But now I’m in a situation where I went to Portion.

‘It was a bit expected.’

If so, it would be right to use it.

After all, this doesn’t end in the Ash Dormitory.

“I will accept the offer.”
