Necromancer’s Evolutionary Traits Chapter 273

The strongest Necromancer by Evolution Attribute (273)

On-going test

The academy was more excited than ever when the Spring Tournament started.

It was a matter of course, as it was an event in which not only students but also the people of the empire and organizations that were said to be on the continent were curious about the outcome.

Preliminaries have already been held, and the weekend is just ahead of the finals.

Most of those who made it to the finals were the ones everyone expected.

“It’s the last tournament for Sword Dragon and Big Sword seniors, too.”

“I know.”

After a simple breakfast, a series of groups were heading to the gymnasium.

The topics of their conversations were no different from those of the others.

“Kasim is too bad. All of a sudden, I couldn’t even make it to the finals because of bad match luck.”

“I can’t help it. Because that was my skill. What’s really unfortunate is that, like you said, it was the last chance to officially stick with senior Louis, senior Chris, and the student president.”

Kasim, who occupies the bottom seat of the student council, said with a nonchalant expression.

However, his friends, who knew that he was deeply saddened, patted Kasim on the shoulder and walked away.

“Oh right. I heard that seniors came out who said they interpreted the problem Professor Adrias gave this time?”

“I heard that the student council takes over the test first before going to the professor? How did it go?”

It was obvious that the topic was changed, but Kasim decided to be fooled by the consideration of his close friends.

“The president saw it yesterday and sent it back.”

“really? Hey, isn’t this going to be all sorted out at the student council line?”

“It’s not that I’m being grumpy, it’s that the seniors were actually not good at it. From the president’s point of view, he didn’t want to make the professor tired with such skills.”

During the conversation, the gymnasium where we arrived was crowded with students as usual.

Some of them were standing there with bloody whites as if they had been there all night.

“Hi, what do you see when you stare at it like that? Please give up your seat and go in.”

“Still, the majority of people would have set up a tent if the student council hadn’t organized it, right? To be honest, the student council has a strong sense of authority, but everyone acknowledges it because they do a good job in this respect.”

Soon, among those present at the gymnasium, those who recognized Kassim pretended to know.

Even at the bottom of the student council, executives were executives, so there were many students who wanted to get close to him.

“Is Cassim here? I have a seat here.”

“Thank you, senior, but our student council must have announced that it is not allowed to take over the seat?”

“Ah, that’s not it, we’re giving up our seats. We stayed up all night too, but now we should go and get some sleep.”

Cassim nodded, thinking that he could accept this level flexibly.

“All right. You worked hard, seniors.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s have a meal together later.”

“All right.”

It was a rare thing to see in the Faculty of Engineering, where the culture of seniors and juniors was strict.

Kassim, who briefly showed the strength of the student council, headed to the concessioned seat with his friends.

“As expected, it’s Kasim. Because of this taste, I have a student council executive as my friend.”

“Hey, stop talking nonsense and open your notebook. You should follow up with your research. Now, there are only three days left, so at least within today, we have to conclude and practice.”

“Draw and draw.”

After the playful conversation, he seriously analyzed the sword marks left by Adrias.

Kasim has already transferred the shape of the sword mark to his notebook with the help of the Faculty of Magic.

Around the picture drawn in three-dimensional form, it was filled with notes that Kassim and his friends had put on it.

“No matter how you think about it, there is more to this part than mere footsteps.”

“Are you talking about that again? So what is it?”

“I mean, I don’t know. If I knew that, I would confidently take over the test for the president… … .”

Serena, the student council president, had already been recognized by Adrias, so she didn’t have to pass the exam.

That’s why he voluntarily took over the inspection on behalf of other executives.

The control she spoke of was none other than her own examination.

“uh! It is a sword dragon.”

“Hey hey. Senior Louis is here.”

In an instant, the surroundings were noisy.

Everyone announced Louis’s appearance in whispers, but the voices that arose all at once made them suddenly noisy.

“uh? Who is next to you?”

“… … Isn’t that the freshman representative?”

With the appearance of Lewis, attention was also drawn to a student standing next to him.

Cassim got up from his seat, feeling a strange feeling towards the freshman approaching alongside Luis.

“Kasim? Kasim! Where?”

“I’ll be gone in a little while.”

Cassim immediately walked up to Louis and said hello.

“Hello, Senior Louis.”

“uh? Oh it’s Kasim long time no see.”

Louis was greeted with a friendly smile, as always.

Seeing this, the female students who secretly had Louis in their hearts sighed excitedly.

“Did you come to check the sword marks too?”

“yes.”

“If you were a senior, you would have already interpreted it, but I’m curious.”

“I can’t do it that fast.”

Lewis waved his hand with a vague smile.

Most of the students thought that he was being humble when he saw Louis like that.

“Come to think of it, did you bring a freshman next to you?”

“uh. Greetings, this is Kasim Kazami, a 2nd year student. This is freshman Benjamin Anikius.”

After being introduced, the eyes of the two briefly met.

A strange air current passed for a while, and Benjamin lowered his head first.

“This is Benjamin.”

The introduction was all.

Seeing that strangely intrusive attitude, Cassim nodded while trying to control his expression.

“I am Kasim, a sophomore. I belong to the student council.”

“Student Council?”

“You don’t know about the student council?”

“I know. But it’s strange that you say that you belong to the student council in your self-introduction.”

“What does that mean?”

“It is literally. I just felt it was unusual because I usually only saw people who said family or origin.”

Kasim’s expression lost his composure and broke.

It could have been a sense of victimization, but Benjamin’s words came to mean that he was bragging about being a member of the student council.

“Now that I’m in my senior year next year, the two of us should get along well.”

Then Louis intervened without notice.

Since Louis was known for not being aware of his true identity, Cassim understood.

Perhaps everyone around him had read this strange current, but it was clear that Lewis hadn’t noticed.

“It’s only a year difference, so we’ll see each other for a long time.”

said Benjamin with a leisurely laugh.

Cassim took a cold look at Benjamin and asked Louis.

“Did you know this freshman before?”

“Did I first know about it when I was in second grade? I’ve known Benjamin since he was a Monas student.”

“You’ve known me for quite some time.”

“yes. Come to think of it, Benjamin and I got to know each other because of Adrias-senpai, no, professor.”

“Professor Adrias?”

Cassim asked in a questioning voice, and Benjamin said with a cold face.

“You are my benefactor and benefactor. It was Professor Adrias who first introduced Luis.”

“… … what?”

Kasim was not the only one surprised by the unexpected fact.

It was enough information that all the students who had pretended not to hear their conversation looked away in surprise.

“Professor Adrias recognized my talent from the beginning and supported me until now. Not only was it not enough that you raised me as an orphan, you supported all of the tuition for Monas Academy and Rodlen Academy.”

Benjamin, who was always the top student, received all scholarship benefits except for the first entrance fee, but he did not bother to mention it. People were more surprised by the fact that Adrias had supported Benjamin and whispered.

“Hey then, isn’t that guy already assigned a seat after graduation?”

“The Countess of Cromwell? Yes, sponsorship and career are two different things. Now that a manor has barely been established, a pea-sized count’s family will have a top graduate from Monas?”

“Separate! How many lesser aristocratic families are willing to sponsor for that purpose in the first place.”

People’s gossip continued, and Cassim asked Benjamin as if representing the hearts of such people.

“What did you get sponsored for? Did you promise to join Cromwell after graduation?”

“It’s your choice whether you believe it or not, but Professor Adrias didn’t ask for anything in return. They just picked me up because I thought I had talent.”

“Do you believe that? The professor really sponsored you for nothing in return? Nonsense! You were tricked!”

Cassim, a noble from the Kazami family, couldn’t believe Benjamin’s words.

Even if he actually said that, I thought he would definitely come later and ask for a price.

“It doesn’t matter.”

“what?”

“I mean, it doesn’t matter if Professor Adrias wants something in return. After all, he is my benefactor. As someone who has to repay the favor, I will rather pay the price with gratitude.”

“The Cromwell counts are an insignificant family, worse than the Viscounts. It’s a family that was strangely obscure that it wasn’t destroyed. A graduate of Rodlen Academy, who graduated top of Monas, goes to such a place?”

“Again, I don’t care… … .”

“I have no intention of getting paid.”

Everyone stopped moving in surprise at the sudden voice.

Adrias appeared and was walking without a trace, accompanied by his escort knight, Vivian.

“professor.”

“Looking at the useless arguments, everyone seems to have a lot of room.”

Adrias’s cold gaze passed through everyone, and the end of that gaze reached the sword mark he had created.

“There were so many people, but no one came to see me.”

“… … .”

“It doesn’t matter if you’re not here to pass my test. As long as your skills improve with these sword scars, the exam is fine. Personally, though, I regret it.”

After that, Adrias slowly turned around.

“I’m not trying to help you for anything in return. Only one if you really want to.”

The words left behind him as he disappeared floated in the air.

“I wanted to buy a favor.”

As Adrias disappeared, those who hadn’t said anything in the short time between his intense entry and exit let out a slow breath.

“When did you come? Did no one know?”

“I didn’t become a professor for nothing.”

Louise’s eyes shone intensely as she looked at the back of Adrias, leaving behind the students’ words.

“I guess… … .”

Cassim asked Luis, who was muttering softly.

“yes?”

“I think I might forfeit this tournament.”

“yes?”

Those who did not understand Louis’ words looked at him with blank expressions.

However, Louis casually looked at the wall with sword marks surrounded by students.

“Senior Seo. What do you mean?”

“If I can’t interpret the professor’s test this weekend, I’ll give up the tournament to interpret it.”

“No matter what, it’s the finals of the tournament! It’s also the last tournament… … .”

Unlike Cassim, who said he couldn’t understand, Benjamin, who was next to Lewis, nodded his head with an understanding expression.

“For some, the finals of the tournament may be more important. Of course, tournaments are important to me too. But if you ask me if it’s more important than Professor Adrias’s guidance, I’ll say no.”

“… … Professor Adrias has just been hired. You are someone who has yet to prove your teaching style or how well you educate.”

“Kasim. I’m sorry, but I’ve already been tutored by Professor Adrias when he was my senior. Thanks to him, I know him better than anyone else here.”

“ah… … .”

Lewis’ words shocked the students.

For Lewis, the sword dragon, to give up the tournament is the same as giving up the championship soon.

It was in line with the fact that Adrias’ guidance was so good that priority was given to winning the tournament.

“Professor Adrias is a much greater person than the seniors think.”

Benjamin took a picture of the top of the dragon and naturally went to the wall with the sword marks.

After that, Louis followed and the students thought as they watched them.

‘Adrias’s map is more valuable than winning the tournament!’

News spread quickly.

And following the entrance ceremony, it was the day when the Faculty of Engineers was turned upside down once again.
