Necromancer School’s Summoning Genius Episode 1051:
Neutral Zone, Chosung Ind.
Kuuuuung-!
Coooooo!
The entire ind was shaking precariously as if it would copse. Remnants of the vi’s wooden walls and ceiling fell down.
Every time, people’s terrified screams rang out.
‘The building wasn’t built strong because it was destroyed and rebuilt every year.’
The senior assistant, who was thinking about that, looked to the side.
Alita, a young girl in her early teens who was sitting proudly in her seat, had markings all over her body proving that she was a ‘tribute’, was just biting her lip and holding on.
“O great god of whales and bulls, who ascended to heaven.”
“Please let go of your anger…!”
And the natives who had escaped from the vige and entered the Kizen side vi were all kneeling on the floor and praying.
And then the Behemoth swung its tail! As soon as they hear the sound of the wind cracking, everyone stops praying! and fell close to the floor.
Among the natives, only Alita was resolute. The chief assistant spoke quietly to her.
“are you okay. Professor Aaron will protect this ce.”
“…yes.”
“And other students, especially the student council president Simon Pollentia who you met, are also fighting, so don’t worry.”
Alita’s eyelids lowered slightly at the words of the chief assistant.
“…Simon.”
Jump up.
Then one of the natives stood up.
“I can’t take it anymore. “This all happened because of you, Alita!”
A woman with a forehead full of freckles pointed a point at Alita.
“God is angry because tribute is not paid!”
The other natives, who had been suppressing their dissatisfaction, also raised their heads one by one.
“That’s right. You are abandoning the duty of the great cycle and trying to survive. “You should be ashamed.”
“In order to survive, you bring in outsiders to deal with God? “God is not a being that humans can defeat!”
“Death is something to be proud of! “Selfish and cowardly Alita!”
Alita’s fingertips trembled slightly, but she endured the criticism steadfastly.
At that time, one voice in particr prated my ear.
“Your mother proudly jumped into the mouth of God and died with honor until the very end! But you, that daughter…”
“No! Mom is!”
Alita suddenly stood up.
As she tried to raise her voice, she immediately lowered her head and continued speaking.
“…He died in pain, crying and scared.”
The surprised natives stopped talking.
Alita recalled her mother being thrown into the mouth of a huge monster.
“Everyone knows.”
After calmly saying goodbye to everyone, her mother jumped into the Behemoth’s mouth, but her expression changed the moment she was sucked into its throat. Please take me out to save me. No matter how much we shouted, everyone turned away.
But the freckled woman who was angry at first continued to shoot.
“What’s wrong with that? Your mother has fulfilled her duty of cirction! Was it just your mom? Everyone lives like that! But the fact that you, this year’s tribute, are now doing this…”
“Hey.”
Alita spoke in a calm voice.
“You say that, aren’t you afraid of death?”
The freckled woman answered, tightening her eyes.
“of course! The world goes in circles! Death is noble! “I’m not afraid at all…!”
“Then go outside and be killed by Behemoth.”
Alita pointed out the door.
Hearing those words, the freckled woman was shocked once more and then spoke with her face turning red.
“why me? “You, this year’s tribute, should die. The reason I should die is…!”
“You are looking for a reason.”
Alitaughed bitterly.
“You say death is a noble thing?”
“…That thing!”
The woman, whose face became even redder, muttered as if speechless.
Alita didn’t respond any further, but remembered Simon’s voice.
-There is nothing wrong with wanting to live, Alita. It is a desire more intense and sublime than anything else.
“I’ll make it clear here in front of everyone. “I don’t care if you criticize me for being selfish or point a finger at me for not being honorable.”
-The reason you were born is not to die. You can ask for life a little more proudly.
“I want to live more!”
Alita’s eyes tightened.
“Is that such a deadly sin?”
Everyone knew it.
The reason death is expressed as a cycle is to ignore the fear of death.
The reason for the tribute was to avoid feeling guilty about surviving.
The reason I point fingers at people who survive into old age without bing a tribute is because I am afraid that they will not die and my chances of survival will decrease.
But no one could say it out loud.
Because I was afraid of bing the next tribute.
The freckled woman eventually sat down quietly. All of the natives remained silent.
Shake!
At that moment, the door to the vi opened with a loud noise. Aaron walked in, dressed in a blood-soaked robe.
“Professor Aaron!”
The chief assistant quickly ran over and wiped the blood from his face with a handkerchief. Aaron waited calmly and turned his head as the blood covering his eyes was wiped away.
“Did you say Alita?”
“…yes.”
“This is a report from Simon Pollentia. Vibron, who was a member of the organization, was captured and the cause of the Behemoths waspletely eliminated. From now on-”
Aaron continued in a low voice.
“They say there is no need to live to die.”
When she heard those words, her eyes widened rapidly. Soon she ran out the door at a fast pace.
“ah!”
Behemoths are visible above the clear sky.
Those who should have stayed on Choseung Ind for several days and destroyed it, but they all turned their backs and left for the sea.
Aaron followed behind and held out amunication crystal ball.
“I’ve been contacted. Would you like to talk to Simon in person?”
“?”
Alita epted themunication crystal ball. At that time, Simon’s voice was heard from the crystal ball.
-Alita?
“Wow!”
She was startled and dropped themunication crystal ball on the floor. Her eyes were darting around.
“Voicese out of objects!”
-haha! surprised? It’s me Simon.
When she finally realized that it was Simon’s voice, she lifted themunication crystal ball with confidence.
There was a lot of talk about how I was doing, whether I was okay or not injured.
-It was your n’s rule, right? If there is no chieftain, a person who bes a ‘tribute’ has the authority to represent him. But Vibron has been captured and will not return to your ind. That is, from now on.
Simon’s voice rang out calmly.
-You are the chief who will lead the vige, Alita.
“…I?”
Her eyes widened.
-Everyone will be confused. Because we lived with the assumption of death, and that limitation disappears. As you live longer, you should think about what you will do, what you will like, and how you will spend your time. Now you have to teach people.
“What did I…”
Simon said with a smile in his voice.
-How happy I am to be alive. That’s it.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Soon, he hugged the crystal ball and said in tears.
“Thank you, thank you so much, Simon.”
Alita cried like that for a while.
Aaron and the chief assistant were watching from a little distance away.
“Would it be okay? professor. “You decided not to get involved in any of the students’ missions.”
“We just protected ourselves.”
Aaron continued speaking while rubbing his eyelids with his palms.
“The natives just came here without our knowledge and were not involved.”
The chief assistant smiled broadly.
“yes!”
* * *
Simon and Se returned safely to the coastal fortress.
It was a scene where the sense of urgency of battle remained. The wall, which could hardly be called a fortress, had copsed, and students were lying spread out all over the ce, panting.
The students who were still able to move were quickly clearing up the scene. When I asked about the situation, fortunately, no students were seriously injured. There were a few people who lost consciousness, but they were immediately taken to a ward in neutral territory and are receiving treatment. The fact that they all survived such a big fight was truly Kigen’s strength.
In the meantime, the Behemoths that fell after being hit by the ‘Bomber’ under the fortress were being quickly disposed of. A dispute arose among the students over whether I or you should have caught it, but Hector personally went around and mediated. As it is amon reward for group missions, it is based on obtaining one Behemoth per person.
“Everyone is busy picking up better trash.”
Ce looked at Simon with a fox-like smile.
“Unlike us?”
“…haha.”
It seemed like Ce wanted to be condescending, so Simon was eagerly epting it.
Actually, it was worth shouting about. The Behemoth captured by Cerne was of the highest quality as a material. It was not toorge, had developed fins and upper body, and had considerable biting power. Since it was not shot down by a bomber, there was minimal bone damage.
I felt reassured because I had good ingredients in my hands. I’m looking around and taking care of the injured.
A problem arose in an unexpected ce.
“It’s a big problem, Commander!”
“Simon!”
Several people, including Eshu, rushed towards Simon and said, Simon blinked and looked back at them.
“what’s the matter?”
Mandible.
omg.
Eshu took a deep breath and then spoke loudly.
“The lord of Orjava…!”
“!”
Simon headed straight to the scene with some of his ssmates who had the resources to do so.
The site was not Orjava, but one of several satellite cities next to Orjava, and it was the ce where the lord took refuge when Vibron attacked the territory.
But by chance, a Behemoth attacked this ce and a terrible scene unfolded.
“eight…!”
One of the arms of Lord Orjava, dressed in silk, was missing. The cross section showed unmistakable teeth marks, showing that it had been eaten alive by a Behemoth.
ording to people, the lord and his son who were with him were also eaten. Since his wife had passed away a long time ago, his entire family had been wiped out. There were quite a few people who saw it.
“Then what happens? Who is the lord of Orjava now?”
“That…”
The problem started now.
The first and second heirs to the lordship of Orjava have passed away, and the person next in line to seed to the fiefdom.
“…Orjava’s secretary Besti is the next sessor.”
One student suddenly got angry at Eshu’s words.
“that person! “He’s the one who kept interfering with our efforts to stop Behemoth and didn’t even let the residents evacuate, right?”
“It’s cheap. “Why wasn’t the secretary himself, who should always be by the lord’s side, here?”
Simon, who had been lost in thought for a moment, quickly raised his head.
“Guys, I’ll go first.”
“huh?”
“Chairman!”
Teuong!
In an instant, Simon ran forward, took out his pier from subspace, put it on, stepped on the roof of the building, and began to fly.
* * *
Meanwhile, at the same time.
In front of the students who remained near the coastal fortress and were clearing out the Behemoths, the secretary, Besti, who had be the lord, appeared with his private soldiers.
He dered without saying anything.
“As the lord of Orjava, Imand you. “I need you to get out of here right now.”
The students naturally protested.
I sacrificed my life here to fight, and I haven’t even recovered from my injuries yet, but now I’m leaving. It was natural to protest.
Secretary Besti raised the corners of her mouth after hearing those words.
“Then there is nothing we can do.”
He slowly stepped aside. The students looked up to see what was going on, and then their eyes widened.
Jerk. Low, low, low.
A group of troops wasing this way.
