Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 232

[ Episode 232. Change of idea]

Dahlia Madden, a freshman in the Faculty of Magic, sighed as she sat on the bench.

Strangers around her were walking around the academy grounds.

“Dahlia what are you doing here?”

Her comrade, who was waiting for her, approached and asked.

Dahlia smiled awkwardly at such a motive and said.

“Hello Ailee. I was just taking a break.”

“What about classes?”

“It just ended.”

“Aren’t you going to lunch?”

“Uhhh… I’ll go.”

Dahlia wiggled and nodded.

Ailee, noticing something in her appearance, said with a smile.

“Do you want to go eat together? I was on my way to a restaurant.”

“uh? uh. Shall we go.”

The war-torn academy schedule affected many students.

In particular, in the case of freshmen this year, there were those who could not adapt to the academy one after another.

Dahlia, who has an introverted personality, also belonged to this case.

“What do you want to eat?”

“Ailee?”

“well. what to eat today I need to eat papillon salad and graniche pasta.”

“Then me too……”

The two of them took the food they ordered and found a suitable seat and sat down.

In the meantime, the restaurant started to fill up with people.

“Until I came to the academy, I didn’t know that we could eat together in a place with so many people, but it’s amazing.”

“Aren’t you uncomfortable?”

“huh? It was a bit like that at first, but now I’m used to it. After two days, it felt like my home.”

“Wow, that’s great.”

“Until it is great. Dahlia than that.”

“huh?”

“If it’s okay, do club activities. Will it be of some help to you?”

Extracurricular activities.

Dahlia whispered quietly.

There were various meetings at the academy, from clubs for hobbies to clubs related to studies.

This year, it was overshadowed by the war, but at the beginning of each semester, it was always full of people recruiting club members.

As the number of members increased, the academy supported more, so it was natural, but there were also quite a few small meetings.

“What hobbies are you interested in? Well, even if it’s not a hobby, there are many clubs related to magic research, so try looking for something you’re interested in.”

“Did Ailee join the club too?”

“Actually, I’m still looking into it. They say there were a lot of club invitations until last year, but this year we have to go looking for them ourselves.”

At that time, the restaurant became a little noisy and started to crowded towards one place.

“You are Diane senior. You are still the same today.”

Ailee smiled and looked over there.

When Dahlia followed the word Diene, she turned her gaze to see the senior she admired entering the restaurant with her acquaintances.

“Senior Diane. It’s really cool.”

“Do you like Diene sunbaenim?”

“uh? Uh, rather than liking it, should I say I respect it…….”

“Respectful. I also fell in love with tournaments.”

“that’s right! You were so cool!”

Ailee looked at Dahlia, who was slightly excited, with a smile on her face, and quietly whispered.

“I know that? Originally, the seniors in my senior year didn’t do much club activities because of graduation. But is Diane senior still involved in club activities?”

“What club?”

“As far as I know, you signed up for two. Was one of them a knights and literature club? And the other one is the Dimensional Research Club.”

Dahlia lifted her head again and looked at Diene.

Then he asked Ailee.

“Dimensional Research Club. Shall we join?”

“That’s for you to decide. I’m interested in explosive magic, so I’m going there.”

“Umm……”

After thinking for a moment, Dahlia nodded.

“I should join the dimensional research club.”

“okay. But as far as I know, it’s popular because of Diene sunbaenim, so you have to pass the exam to get in.”

“What?”

“Don’t be afraid, though. Please take a look.”

A test…

Dahlia’s expression turned to tears.

**

It’s a bit early in the afternoon to have dinner after all the work is done.

Dahlia carefully arrived at the dimensional research club in the research building.

Slightly overwhelmed by the staggering sight of an entire building being occupied, she swallowed dryly and slowly entered the building.

“Welcome. ah! It’s Dahlia.”

“Ah, hello, Ray.”

Upon entering, the first person I encountered greeted me warmly.

A third year student in the Faculty of Magic, Ray’s major was electric elements.

“What is it? You want to sign up?”

“Is it possible?”

“wait a minute. Because the academy schedule is messed up, I don’t know what the enlistment period will be like.”

When Ray went inside, leaving only Dahlia behind, the embarrassed girl looked around the building.

Perhaps because it was just the end of the lecture, there were statues of former club presidents on display inside the quiet club building, including one of Diene.

“Ah, senior was the president.”

“Chairman? Did you call me?”

Dahlia was taken aback by the sudden words from the side and stepped back.

Diene Alven, who had been seated there, was standing with a cute smile on her face.

“Die Diane senior!”

“Yes, I am the president of this club, Diene Alven. What’s your name?”

“All freshmen in the Faculty of Magic are Dahlia Madden.”

“dahlia. What are you doing here?”

“I came because I hoped to join the club.”

Diene burst into laughter as she saw Dahlia answering like a soldier in full discipline.

Then he tried to hold back his laughter and shook his hand.

“sorry. Excuse me because Dahlia is so cute.”

“It’s okay. Rather, thank you for looking prettily.”

“Did you say you hoped to join? You can join our club by taking an exam, but did you know?”

“I know.”

“great. Then we will take the test.”

At that time, Ray, who had just entered, came out and greeted Diene.

“Senior, are you here?”

“yes. Just in time, a prospective applicant will come and the exam will begin.”

“Ah, I went in for a while to find out about the enlistment period, but since the senior came, it should be okay.”

Dahlia watched the conversation carefully and was nervous.

As an introvert, it was a huge burden for her to be evaluated and to be decided whether or not to join.

I couldn’t give up though, so I tried to catch my breath and calm down.

“You don’t have to be so nervous. Because it is simple.”

Diene smiled as she spoke, and Dahlia, slightly relaxed, nodded.

“As you know, this is a dimensional research club. We do research on the vast subject of dimensions. But, among them, we will test the basic coordinate space.”

As Diene beckoned, a ball of light appeared in the air.

“After we create magic, we show it as a result of firing and explosion action. However, all of that comes after meticulous coordinate calculations. Of course, even if you instinctively decide to create magic somewhere, it will be created, but it is very different from when you use it in practice. The target we use our magic on doesn’t sit still.”

The light mass created by Diene began to move little by little, and then began to move around at high speed.

It was so fast that it was hard to catch the eye.

“It’s difficult just to calculate the coordinates, but we have to predict the opponent’s movements in advance.”

Continuing her words, Diene created a continuous mass of light.

As many as 10 lumps of light were created and began to fly around.

“This mass of light I created. If you succeed in destroying even one of these, you pass.”

“Ah…”

Dahlia expressed disapproval.

Being only a freshman, she has done countless theoretical studies, but has never experienced anything close to this kind of practical experience.

At most, he had cast magic against a still standing scarecrow or an artifact for measuring power, but it was the first time he had ever dealt with such fast-moving objects.

“this.”

Ray, who was watching from the side, also scratched his temple.

The entrance exam was different each time because Diene bet on the fly, but this time it felt like the level of difficulty was high.

Even now, it was difficult for him to keep up with the movement of light that Diene calculated and moved at a tremendous speed.

“It’s five minutes. It was quite generous.”

Seeing Diene smiling leisurely while manipulating the 10 balls of light, Dahlia regained her mind.

Doing research with such a great senior was something I had only dreamed of.

Dahlia’s mana began to move.

“Sigh.”

Lightning magic, reputed for speed, was ejected from the tip of her wand.

Paperweight!

However, the simple straight line lightning magic ignored even the inertia and could not touch the moving light.

Eventually, she changed her method and started using wind magic.

Whoa—

The much wider range of magic passed through the lights.

However, its power was too insufficient to extinguish the light.

“Four minutes left.”

Dahlia’s mana quickly circulated at Diene’s calm words.

One way or another, at least one of them had to be extinguished.

Once again, several magics exploded.

However, most of them couldn’t even touch the light mass, or even if they did, the power was absurdly low.

“You have two minutes.”

“Ha ha ha……”

Dahlia, who had already used her magical energy to the point of exhaustion in three minutes, clenched her fists as she felt the sweetness coming from her mouth.

How the hell should I do it…

“Magic is finally activated with mana.”

Suddenly,

someone came into the building and said.

“The subject who uses that mana always exists. There is no difference between the magic used by magic circles and the magic used by wizards.”

“Senior Adrias?”

Ray called the one who appeared in a surprised voice.

However, Adrias did not pretend to hear and spoke to Dahlia, who was clenching her fists.

“Did you think you could chase Diene’s magic with your skills? You are too honest.”

“Ah, senior Adrias Cromwell.”

“In that case, you use an expedient. In other words, it is a change of thinking.”

Diene was also confused by the sudden appearance of Adrias.

I wondered why he suddenly appeared as he had never visited the club building before.

“Dene. Would you believe me if I could destroy all 10 spheres Diene created?”

“I don’t know why it suddenly came to me, but if you can, try it.”

“Then let me show you.”

Adrias stood still and only moved Mana.

Then, in an instant, a burst of light filled the building.

“Ugh.”

“What is it?”

Embarrassed Ray shouted and Dahlia frowned at the sudden light.

“There is a limit to knowing the coordinate space only through the senses. The visual dependence is great.”

Adrias’ light magic filled the space.

Thanks to this, Diene’s lumps of light were swallowed up by Adrias’ magic and were nowhere to be seen.

But Diene felt the connection with the magic she used.

“It’s no use.”

“Is it really so?”

Adrias smiled, revealing his teeth.

Then, Diene felt an unknown anxiety and moved the sphere wildly in a space where nothing could be seen.

“As I said at the beginning, there is a subject who uses mana after all. Everyone knows that.”

“What are you trying to do? Are you going to attack me directly?”

“It can’t be.”

That moment.

Ting–!

Diene could suddenly feel a third force pulling her magic.

“to?”

I was so flustered that strange noises came out of my mouth.

Soon, her light masses began to feel the pressure at the same time.

“What the hell is this……”

“This is what I am researching these days. That’s why I came to Diene today.”

Powerful pressure soon came in as if it would suffocate due to the overwhelming difference in mana.

In the end, the tense tug-of-war ended with Diane giving up, unable to overcome the pressure.

Beep!

I heard the sound of something exploding in the space surrounded by light and not being able to see anything.

“What is this, Adrias?”

Diane couldn’t believe it.

It’s like stealing someone else’s magic…

“I’ve won. After winning, please give this junior another chance. In the first place, the test was too difficult.”

“That’s not what I was talking about. What trick did you just use!”

Diene, recalled, shouted.

However, rather than angry, the look was stained with surprise and excitement.

Soon, Adrias’ light magic disappeared and Ray and Dahlia swallowed dry saliva as they looked at the empty space.

Then, slowly turning his gaze to Adrias, everyone was looking at him.

“It is a change of thinking. It’s the subject of my graduation thesis that I’m going to research with Diene.”

Adrias shrugged.
