Chapter 276
Strongest Necromancer by Evolutionary Attribute (276)
Unstoppable darkness
‘As a result of reconfirmation, it is certain that Sin and Agatha are in contact. Whether or not Agatha will join the scene has yet to be revealed.’
When Agatha enters the scene, it becomes a headache.
Sin’s founding intention or purpose itself was in the positive direction of peace and stability of the heterogeneous race, excluding humans.
But, as always and with any organization, things didn’t go as planned.
The current scene had become a criminal group with an extreme hatred for humans.
“Oh and another one.”
“another one?”
“Now the Zefar Church has entered the academy. The person identified is Jared Teison.”
“I saw you earlier.”
Jared actually confirmed it earlier.
Outwardly, he was the owner of the Jared Merchant, one of the five largest merchants on the continent, so he naturally stood out because there were many nobles around him who were faking it.
“And Jared brought Honen too.”
… … I didn’t know that Honen was also there.
Obviously, it wasn’t around when I saw it.
From the information I’ve confirmed so far, it seems that he hasn’t joined the Zefar Church yet, but that he came together wasn’t a very good sign.
“Confirmed.”
As usual, the Zefar Church was involved in this ruin expedition, but things got more complicated.
“Where is Noah Evan now?”
“Confederation of the Southern Kingdoms.”
Aside from the Zephyr Church, the playable Agatha was involved in the scene, so it would be nice if Evan moved it himself, but it seemed impossible.
The work of the Confederate Palace was just as important as the work of this ruin.
“First of all, we need more information about the scene. We need certain information about whether Agatha belongs to the scene. Can you do something for me?”
“okay. But before that, can I ask you one question?”
“ask.”
“I’ve been curious about it before, but why are you so interested in that half-blood named Agatha?”
I answered Noah’s question honestly.
“I want to make it on my side.”
“… … Are you going to change your lover?”
“I will tell Vivian.”
“I’m kidding.”
That’s what he said, but Noah looked really curious.
You might be wondering why you want to make it on my side.
“I saw talent.”
“Talent?”
“uh. Agatha has a talent. I want to have an unrecognized stone in advance.”
“Is that enough to go against Sin?”
“I will have whatever I want.”
Noah looked at me for a moment with blurry eyes and stood up.
“okay. My employer wants it, so I have to get it for you.”
“thanks.”
“I’m busy with work, so I’ll go.”
As Noah naturally tried to leave, I grabbed her by the shoulder.
Then he spoke softly to her who stood still.
“I go to see Ivy and go to the tournament. I’m not kidding.”
“… … ha.”
Resolving the conflict by force may not be a very good way.
However, avoiding alone did not improve, so I thought of forcing them to collide.
I felt a little sorry for Noah, but I hated seeing people around me conflict with each other in this way. Even if you don’t know, especially in a situation where you know.
I think about it, but my happiness is my top priority, so it was a problem that I had to solve and move on if I wanted to be under me.
In the end, Noah, who was heading to the stadium with me, followed me without saying a word with a cold, stiff face.
“Are you upset?”
“… … .”
I left Noah unanswered and walked again.
Come to think of it, it’s time for Vivian to come soon, but it must be the worst time for Noah in many ways.
After entering the main arena, the match for 3rd place was over and the rest period was continuing.
While I was slightly curious about the results, I walked to my original seat and saw that the seats were full before I knew it.
“ah! Did Professor Adrias go well?”
Michelle, who was the first to spot me, greeted me with a bright expression.
Through her reaction, I was able to confirm that at least Ada did not lose.
And thanks to Michelle’s greeting, everyone who confirmed that I was back started staring at me.
It stings terribly. Could it be that Ada really won?
“yes. Well done.”
“Who is next to you?”
“This is my colleague who came to tell you the news of Yeongji. It’s the finals, so I brought you to see it together.”
“Oh, I see. hello? My name is Michelle Levine.”
Michelle, who briefly exchanged greetings with Noah, soon began to chatter with a slightly agitated expression.
“I was already talking with others about the results you predicted.”
“Did Ada win?”
“no! It’s a draw!”
Michelle sent a burdensome look.
It’s a pity that I couldn’t check it myself to say it was a draw anyway.
“How on earth did the professor understand it so well? I bet none of you here could have predicted a draw.”
“well. I didn’t expect that either.”
Actually, I just said I didn’t know who would win.
It was the same for me that I didn’t guess the draw, but the nuance at the time of the prediction and the result coincided with luck.
“If so, the result of the next match could be Serena’s win. A lot of people are predicting that Chris will win.”
“You have to see the results. I can’t be sure.”
Serena and Louise were informed.
I couldn’t tell Chris because the timing wasn’t right.
Although it was not possible to know exactly how they had been for the past two years, if it was flawless swordsmanship, it was the final level of skill for them.
‘I wonder why people think Chris will win.’
I didn’t know much about the recent trio.
But the professors here must have seen it over and over while I couldn’t see it.
There’s obviously some reason that Chris will win, so most people think he’ll win.
“I don’t know because I’m a professor in the Faculty of Magic, but most of the Faculty of Engineering professors have higher expectations for Chris.”
“Chris is strong too. It’s probably going to be thin.”
At that time, Noah, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, touched me and gave me a chin.
“Come out.”
When I turned my gaze, I could see Chris, who had only exchanged eye contact at the gymnasium, and Serena, who seemed nervous, appeared. Upon their appearance, the crowd in the crowd heated up in an instant.
“Anyway, I’m sorry. I still can’t believe that student Lewis withdrew.”
Michelle murmured as she heard the cheers.
I was equally sad.
The guy who should have won and been rewarded here eventually withdrew from the tournament saying he would pass my test.
When I looked at it, I had already finished my own interpretation, but it seemed that I was stimulated by seeing Benjamin.
It seemed that he was going to make up for the lack of points and prepare fully for the challenge.
“I heard that it is called the Fortress Geomryong, so I expected it a bit, but I missed it.”
“Let’s meet later.”
“it’s okay. She’s weaker than Vivian or you anyway.”
I can’t really deny it.
Deep down, I wonder how good Louis is, but I didn’t think I would lose to him.
If it’s Vivian… … .
‘Vivien is similar to me when it comes to swords, so wouldn’t she be stronger than Louis?’
I never thought that Vivian would become so strong.
It occurred to me that perhaps the characters I hadn’t looked into could have the same potential as Vivian.
“Wow!”
“Start!”
While I was talking with Michelle and thinking about Noah’s words, the game was about to start before I knew it.
The referee again briefly explained the rules to both participants, and soon the match began.
Quaang!
Serena’s attack, which did not lose strength from the beginning, looked dangerous to me.
‘I’m in a hurry today.’
It was clear that he was more nervous than when he was fighting me.
Just in case, I turned my head and looked at the VIP table, and sure enough, Marquis Erestial was there.
Marquis Yunor and Marquis Erestial are characters who have never visited the academy in the game, so I don’t know what the wind brought them to.
After all, where did I change something?
Chaekang—!
“iced coffee!”
The battle seemed to be on an equal footing.
However, I could see that the calm Chris was eating away at Serena’s stamina.
‘I’ve become more seasoned.’
I was a little worried because I was alone in training, but my worries were so excellent that it was colorless. After all, playable is playable.
“you’re good.”
Noah, who was watching, murmured.
I quietly asked Noah.
“Who do you think would win in a fight with you?”
“I win.”
She answered without the slightest hesitation.
And knowing where that confidence comes from, I quietly nodded.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, those two could be better, but… … .
Noah should be able to beat them both right now because he had monstrous physical abilities.
“If the two of them are like that, I can’t expect too much from the sword dragon, right?”
“well.”
“well? Do you think he is different?”
“So check it out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.”
While I was talking, the results of the game were gradually being revealed.
Serena, who was caught up in Chris’ illusion sword, eventually became slower than before, probably because she consumed a lot of physical strength and mana.
“Looks like student Chris will win.”
“As expected. It is a splendid swordsmanship that is not called the secret sword for nothing.”
I heard what people were saying.
He spoke in a loud voice, as if to listen to me, but I didn’t really care.
No matter who won, both were important figures to me.
By the way, Marquis Yunor and Marquis Erestial both came, so it would be a problem if someone loses.
The families of the two have been famous rivals for a long time.
“hmm?”
My eyes stopped when I tried to check the expression of the two of them while examining the VIP seats.
Should I say it’s a coincidence? My eyes were fixed on a person who had vaguely come into my field of vision.
Jared Tyson, whom I saw a while ago.
A high-ranking official of the Zefar Order and the owner of the Jared Merchant, one of the continent’s five largest merchant corps.
And next to him, there was a person who hadn’t been there before.
‘Honen.’
Honen from Millennium Academy.
The guy who should have graduated from the academy now was the guy who would later become Zefar’s incarnation.
“I’ll check on you in a minute.”
“where?”
“excuse me.”
Seeing where my eyes were headed, Noah nodded.
I didn’t care if the game was going on, I got up and went straight to where Jared and Honen were.
People were so focused on the game that they didn’t even notice I was moving, and by the time I got close to Jared, Jared turned his gaze to me.
“Adrias Cromwell?”
A slightly embarrassed expression.
And felt his irregular pulse and breathing.
From the information I read at once, I noticed that something was wrong with his condition.
It wasn’t just because he saw me, but that he was nervous even before he saw me.
nervous about what?
There was no reason to be nervous about the outcome of the final.
‘The opponent is the Zefar Church… … .’
And I naturally came up with a word.
no, maybe again?
“terror?”
“Black!”
Jared tried not to show off the deliberately poked word, but he took a deep breath.
And at the same time, Honen, who was next to Jared, turned to me.
“Hey, what is it? It’s been a while?”
“you… … !”
I could see something looming around Honen’s neck as he turned to me.
It’s nothing else… … .
‘stigma!’
