The Barbarian Became a Necromancer

070.

A large number of faculty members, including candidates, gathered in the auditorium.

It was because of today’s academic conference.

‘I roughly arranged it, but it passed.’

From my point of view, it is okay if it works or not.

At the academic conference, it is shown that only I can tame monsters.

After that, it’s to build an environment where you can summon monsters with peace of mind.

If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to act like I used to.

It didn’t matter.

Still, I was a little surprised by the evaluation that my thesis was not at all inferior to what the Summoning Department candidates put together.

‘Is this also the effect of mental power?’

I organized it by substituting the settings of the monsters in the game and my divine power.

Strangely, it was well organized in my head, so it was easy to write.

“Are you nervous?”

I looked at her at the sudden question.

A woman standing next to me with a thin smile.

“very.”

Looking at Seira, I expressed my honest impression.

The letter sent to the academy was valid.

I asked for a recommendation to participate in the academic conference, but I never thought that Seira would come as a representative.

‘Somehow, he hasn’t been by my side since recently.’

The presence of a contact that was not felt.

Saira reappeared.

I was completely sure now.

“Aren’t you surprised by my coming? Still, it appeared as a surprise appearance.”

“I heard that it would have been difficult to participate without your help. Am I right?”

“that’s right. Head of the Department of Summoning, did you know that woman vehemently refused to let Lokram participate? I guess I counted. They had to push their contestants, but a graduate from Cain Academy suddenly stepped in.”

Seira got angry on my behalf.

You don’t have to do that.

“I am a woman who only knows how to see trees, but has no eyes to see the forest. How much Rokram suffered from monsters at the academy, how lightly did he treat the results of his research that he had suffered and suffered so much. oh really… ! What if it’s the head of the department? isn’t it?”

“hmm.”

“It’s just a pity that I can’t intervene. If I could have done it, I would have immediately relieved you of your position.”

Seira wasn’t the only companion.

Fenolino looks at me and says.

At the same time, glancing at Seira whenever I had a chance seemed to examine my relationship with her.

Are you curious about whether the relationship is really between a professor and a candidate, or a relationship that goes further than that?

“Mr. Fenolino, Seira once supported me when I was helping Mr. Brat with his work.”

“Oh, so?”

“that’s right. There, we went through life and death together. We stand back to back and protect each other, and Lokram supported me and I supported Lokram a lot.”

“Oh, did you? It was all thanks to Professor Seira that Rokram grew up like this and was able to come back to me safely.”

“Oh, that’s too much praise… .”

Seira smiled shyly at Fenolino’s rare compliment.

what’s up

When dealing with Bella, he acted as if A and E were clearly separated.

Now, they are acting like parents are treating teachers.

“Looks like I can only go in from here.”

Before you know it, you are in front of the participant waiting room.

Outsiders were not allowed to enter here.

This is because participants who are waiting should not feel burdened.

“That’s too bad. I wanted to talk more.”

“Let’s have dinner together when we’re done.”

“Lokram. I am?”

“… Fenolino-sama is also with you.”

“Huh, then you should be waiting in the shared room.”

Together, he emphasizes the word oddly.

Seira looked at Me and Fenolino in amazement.

A look in his eyes asking when the hell did he become so friendly with a perceptual hero?

I shrugged.

“Aren’t you going to watch?”

“What will the bleachers look like if I go?”

Whatever it is, there will be an uproar.

“So waiting inside is good for everyone. I have that kind of eye too. And just because it’s far away doesn’t mean you can’t see it?”

I felt a line of Fenolino’s magic wire connected to my body.

I will watch the academic conference with this.

I wink one eye as if asking me to skip this time.

I didn’t touch the mana line by way of permission.

“I’ll watch from the observer’s seat.”

Even if I looked, there would be nothing to see.

Still, I couldn’t tell him not to look.

“Then let’s go in.”

I spoke to the two and opened the door to the waiting room.

Then, dozens of pairs of gazes poured out.

Among them, a familiar face stood out.

Bella.

Burying her face in the paper she had written with bloodshot eyes, she met eyes with me at the sound of a door.

“uh?”

It is a response that I never dreamed of seeing here.

Well, it’s Bella who sent a letter asking if you would come to see her at the academic conference.

I would never have thought of participating in it myself.

“Hey Lokram, how did you get in here?”

I looked at the paper pasted on the door, wondering if I had mistaken it for a waiting room.

Then, when she confirmed that it was a waiting room for participants, she widened her eyes.

As a result, dark circles were highlighted.

“I don’t think I got much sleep.”

“Oh, do you see it? no, more than that. Lokram-sama wants to join too?”

“Can’t we?”

“It’s not against the rules… How are you?”

“Think about where I come from. It is easy to stand here.”

A man who graduated from Cain Academy as an advanced hero.

Aware of its location, Bella sighed.

“Yeah, that’s right. Also Lokram. Great.”

I took a seat where Bella, who was throwing double blows, had sat.

She followed me and sat next to me.

The waiting room was quiet.

Is this silence coming from composure or tension?

see it as the latter.

They saw me as a competitor.

‘The participant who received the most recommendation from the faculty at the academic conference was said to have received a full scholarship for the remainder of the semester.’

In addition, there are opportunities to get a job as an intern at the Institute of Magic Research, an institution affiliated with the Empire, or the Summoned Animal Management Center.

‘surely. A game is a game.’

The theme borrowed from feudalism blends strangely with reality in this respect.

Thanks to the infrastructure that the twist gives me, I can live without discomfort.

To be honest, I was still a little impressed that there was a flush toilet.

“Is that him? The young lady I spoke of in the letter.”

“who… Oh, right. Miss Selah. We don’t even pretend to know each other now.”

It looks like it.

Bella alone.

Selah belonged to the herd.

I feel sorry for Bella a little bit.

How did you put the first button on so that you won’t have any friends for half a year?

It was a prime example of what happens when the leader of the group gets away with it.

“I’m OK. I changed my mindset.”

“how?”

“They’re not bullying me. I’m bullying you Like this.”

He seemed to have no worries in his bright smile.

So I’m rooting for you.

‘It would be good if you were satisfied with that.’

Why does sadness rise up inside me?

I should be Bella’s companion for as long as I’m here.

***

The academic conference has begun.

Present the thesis everyone prepared and prove its practicality.

Of course, there were times when mistakes were made.

It is a job to introduce and deal with monsters.

As it was not announced with the same intelligent body, the monsters imprisoned in the bars showed their ferocity without any doubt.

like right now

Kyaaagh!

“hehehe! uh… In order to lower the aggressiveness of such ferocious monsters, the potion made from Jelly grass essence showed a great effect, and like this… .”

Big Hag! Kyaoo!

“on… It becomes pure. yes… .”

that kid is messed up

Knowing that monsters can never be tamed, he did that.

It is probably the result of misunderstanding that meaningful data was obtained.

It must have been a misunderstanding when the aggression was low because the monster was tired.

“Please come up next.”

After the evaluation, the words of the department head resonated throughout the auditorium.

Then it’s Bella’s turn.

comes next

She looked at me and trembled.

“What if I make a mistake?”

“Looking at it, there was no room for mistakes. So do your best and come down.”

“is that so?”

“Trust me.”

“Whoa, whoa. I’ll believe it. It’s what Lokram said.”

After taking a deep breath, Bella stepped up to the presentation.

The thesis she prepared was the topic of discussing how to use monsters reversely.

“I researched the vegetation of various monsters and studied how to use them in the right place rather than trying to lower their ferocity.”

He continued his presentation as if he was nervous.

It means that each monster has a different preferred food and attractive scent.

The results of the examples that followed were excellent.

The monster that hadn’t even moved was moved to the next cage, guided by the smell of meat it liked.

In addition, intentionally spraying incense to increase aggression.

“It ends here.”

Heh heh!

Bella’s announcement ended with the monster’s roar.

It was a rare announcement that erupted in applause.

“Good work.”

He held out his palm to Bella, who was coming down.

After the presentation was completed, only a sense of relief hung over her face.

match!

Bella, who clapped my hands, cheered me on in reverse this time.

“I was less nervous than I thought. Lokram-nim, fight too!”

“Thank you for your support.”

Anyway, my mind stays in the same state as the Myung Kyung Index in any situation.

So I just went and said it comfortably and came down.

“Let’s get started.”

Standing in front, hundreds of people are watching me.

The deans in the front row looked at me curiously.

When I raised my gaze a little, I saw Seira sitting in the observer’s seat.

She smiled brightly and waved her hand as she made eye contact with me.

Then, realizing his reproachful behavior, he apologized to the seats on both sides.

‘That person tried to drop me.’

The face of the Summoning Department Head was particularly hardened.

It was a look that meant that he would look at me strictly.

‘doesn’t care.’

like their ratings.

I’m just thinking of showing this place as an excuse.

Only I, Lokram, can command and perfectly control monsters.

“Then let’s begin.”

I used magic reversal.

In the meantime, the divine power that has been subtly maintained is amplified.

Since he was maintaining a person wrapped in a veil, no one could notice the change in this place.

After that, Degrease was summoned.

Degrease leaped out of the air and roared.

kayyi profit!

“What… !”

“Lokram contestants! Are you safe!”

Department heads and faculty who read the thesis are surprised.

The moderator screamed in fright.

No fuss.

It’s still too early to be surprised.

“Degrease, shut up.”

At my words, the boy kept his mouth shut.

It is an undead that retains its true form through invisible undying.

On the surface, they were writing a thesis with the unique effect of the golden divine power.

In other words, it’s something only I can do.

“run.”

Kkereuk!

A different aspect from the monsters who had only howled loudly so far unfolded.

Degrease jumped up at my words and quietly waited for the next command.

The unbelievable sight made the hall quiet as if it had been doused with cold water.

Took.

The heads of departments were so shocked that they didn’t realize that they had dropped their pens.

Watching them, I followed the order.

“hand.”

Kn.

Degrease’s sharp hand landed on my palm.

Even with the slightest force, the human’s fragile skin is a sharp claw that can be torn apart at once.

But my hand was fine.

“nose.”

Degrease inserted his nose into the hole he had made round with both hands.

Everyone’s faces were filled with confusion at the behavior of handling a pet dog.

Is what I’m seeing right now?

Could it be that the pet dog was covered with a mask of degrease?

Is it possible to tame monsters?

You must be thinking these things.

Of course, when I read the thesis, it was stated that only I could do it.

They were, therefore, a rare spectacle.

I just need to win the title of the first monster tamer that will soon spread across the continent.

But why?

‘what.’

Saira, who was thrilled, put her hands in front of her.

She senses an unpleasant magical energy from the head of the Summoning Department in front of her.

This magic power had never been felt before.

I mean, I’m used to it.

The Archbishop of the Amtheist Church.

It’s similar to the black magic used by the author named Balik.

‘Phenolino. Are you listening?’

‘Yes, Master.’

It was phenolino that was connected through the magical power line.

Instantly responding to my thought, she was ready to listen.

‘The summoning department head in front of you. I can feel the dark magic from him.’

‘Directly? Or indirectly?’

It didn’t seem like she was holding it.

It was secret black magic, as if something behind it had planted it.

I guess I thought I wouldn’t get caught by anyone else.

‘It’s indirect.’

‘It looks like you’re manipulating her or she has a pact with the warlock behind it. Anyway, Master. You noticed at once something I hadn’t noticed. It’s so touching from the point of view of being a disciple.’

Ignoring Fenolino’s admiration, I stared at the Summoning Department Head.

To be precise, the black magic behind it.

There was only one blatant emotion that could be seen beyond the covertness.

interest.

Feeling as if I had discovered a new toy, I pointed to the head of the Department of Summoning and gave my last order.

“Degrease. bite.”
