I Became The Academy Necromancer

Chapter 5: Terrorists?

 Chapter 5: Terrorists?

[ I have returned.]

Unlike the other ghosts, Skram entered the room with careful steps.

He looked at me, startled, and then bowed deeply.

[ Young Master seems to have cleaned up the ruffians who were defiling this mansion. ]

I was somewhat surprised by his immediate recognition of what I had done, but I maintained my composure and answered calmly.

I know that there are still many ghosts left in the mansion.

[ I apologize. Its because I didnt maintain it properly. ]

Check the locations and time zones where they often roam around and report it later. How is the situation in the North Whedon Mountains?

I had ordered Skram to go check the status of the battle against the immigrants crossing the North Whedon Mountains and report it back to me.

So at my question, he gently raised his head and began explaining what he had seen.

[The front line with the immigrants pushing through the mountains is tense. The head of the family, unlike his initial majestic appearance, has also lost his spirit when he entered an unexpected battle.]

Darius?

Darius Verdi; A warrior called the Guardian of the Northern Mountain Ranges and the giant of Verdi.

It was a little surprising to hear that Darius was pushed back.

Of course, this scene didn't appear in the game at all, but I was well aware of his power during my three months with the family.

At least, he was a great man, capable of fulfilling the role of captain of the knights with ease.

That Darius got pushed back?

It became clear that it was an interesting yet dangerous situation.

If the immigrants crossed the rugged mountain range and entered the kingdoms territory, the position of the Verdi family would be shaken.

He was receiving various benefits compared to other Counts, but he was unable to fulfill his duties.

[I thought they were like bandits because they were immigrants, but starting with their armer, their weapons were all sophisticated.]

Because theyre coming from the Clark Republic on the other side.

The Clark Republic was adjacent to our Griffin Kingdom.

Unlike Griffin, where mana was used as its main resource, Clark Republic was a country that values science and technology as a military dictatorship with a single leader.

Although it didn't matter much in the game, Clarks notoriety was mentioned several times by the many characters.

A place called the land of factories because it treats people like machines.

Most likely the incoming immigrants were the ones who had escaped from Clark illegally.

[The weapon known as a gun appeared to be uncomfortable due to the noise and recoil, but it was superior in power and range.]

Skram continued his explanation after claiming to have seen something valuable.

[Right now, Darius has a geographical advantage because his camp is located on the Ridge Line, but it is expected to be penetrated soon.]

Why do you think so?

I didn't know how competent the ghost named Skram was, but if he was that confident, he must have his own reasons.

Hearing my question, He began to explain as if he had been waiting.

[There is an extraordinary woman among the immigrants.]

An extraordinary woman?

[Her hair, white as snowflakes was rough as the mane of a galloping wolf, and her crimson red eyes felt as if they were full of blood.]

A native of the Clark Republic with white hair and red eyes?

My eyes trembled as soon as the image of someone popped into my head.

[The axe she wields will easily trample Lord Darius' soldiers and invade the territory of the kingdom.]

Huh.

[Also, since all those who follow her are equally unqualified for being unmanned, even Sir Darius will not be able to block them alone.]

Skram made a lengthy rant in order to convince me.

Perhaps he believed that I would struggle to comprehend how the defenses of the mountain range could be compromised by the actions of a single individual.

But it was the other way around.

It appears that Finden Ai is on her way to the kingdom.

Finden Ai was the leader of the Resistance group Gocheolsang, whose aim was fighting to escape from the dictatorship of the Clark Republic.

[TL: Gocheolsang can mean trading either 'antique goods' or 'scrap goods'.]

Although I was not acquainted with the finer details of her background, it was clear to me that she had relocated to our kingdom with the intention of bolstering her Resistance movement after being exiled from her own clan.

Why did know it?

Because she was the boss of a chapter.

If Finden Ai is the opponent, I should rather give a round of applause to Darius, who has endured so far.

Finden Ai was so powerful that she was described as a beast in the skin of a human because she couldn't be stopped once she started.

I remembered she was the kind of boss who got stronger as she continues to fight, so I had to drain her health early on with high firepower as quickly as possible.

There were countless players asking for tips, saying that the battle with Finden Ai was too difficult.

She had an attractive appearance, but as a boss with that level of difficulty cut off all of her allure.

I cant beat the Finden Ai now.

It was only natural.

Despite the fact that Necromancy possessed formidable destructive potential and unparalleled versatility, I was still a novice in the art.

I crossed my legs for a moment and began to think.

The appearance of an unexpected threat.

But...

Reaching the conclusion that this situation was not entirely devoid of opportunity, a faint, wry smile tugged at the corners of my mouth.

****

A samurai guarding the central entrance, Nurse Karen muttered as she sat down the central staircase, tapping her chin.

Her sword was leaning against the stairwell beside her, ready to respond at any time.

There were numerous commotions going on inside the academy right now.

Among them, the samurai of the central entrance caused the most havoc and made many victims.

Although it was not a knight, such a name was given because an eyewitness stated that the attire was similar to that of an eastern samurai.

Its a ghost.

Was it some kind of necromancy?

Wondering where such a monster could have come from so suddenly, Karen put her hands on her chin and tapped the hallway on the first floor with the soles of her feet.

She had heard that it would appear when one came down on the first floor, so she went up and down several times, but it did not come out again.

Is there separate time slots for it to appear? Should I come back tomorrow?

As Karen was formulating a hypothesis, she was interrupted by a voice.

Professor Karen.

Heavy and dull footsteps came from the end of the corridor at that time.

A gentle and soft voice, a thick belly, and a bear-like body...

Dean.

He was the Dean of this academy, one of those rare people Karen was polite with.

She stood up and greeted him briefly.

I heard that something strange happened at the main entrance on the first floor.

Thats right. Im investigating first, but I dont see many clues.

Hmm, Ive heard that there are several incidents happening in other places besides the main entrance.

Unfortunately.

If an accident occurred only at the central entrance on the first floor, simply close it until the incident is resolved.

However, such accidents were occurring in various places throughout the academy at the same time.

The Dean looked around the corridor for a moment, then put his hands behind his back and spoke quietly.

I dont think this is a sudden phenomenon.

Karen had the same thought, so she kept her mouth shut. And that the Dean declared, slightly enraged.

This is a terrorist act.

March will arrive soon.

When the vacation was over, current students and new students would revitalize the academy once again.

But before that, accidents like this began to happen one after the other, so the Dean wanted to find the main culprit behind it as quickly as possible.

I understand that Professor Karen has toured many countries while working as a mercenary in the past.

Uhm, thats right.

Karen didnt really want to talk about the old days. When she answered awkwardly, the Dean asked in a voice full of grave anger.

So I believe youve had a lot of experiences. Can you take charge of this situation and solve it?

Of course, I will do my best to cooperate, and I will give Professor Karen my full support.

How about instead of asking me, make an official request to someone like the royal family?

The Griffin Kingdom enthusiastically supported Robern Academy as one of its educational institutions.

They wouldnt stay still if they knew what was going on.

However, the Dean shook his head.

His chin, which sat snugly, was impressive.

No, if the academy doesnt properly resolve this issue, the royal family will doubt our abilities.

.,....

Because there havent been any achievements lately from our side.

Karen swallowed bitterly, sensing some sort of political reason behind his answer.

What can I do? Ill do it if you tell me to. Im a salaried person.

Grumbling to herself, Karen lowered her head.

I will do my best to solve it.

Please. We must find the culprit of this attack before the freshmen and current students return next month.
