Summoning Genius of Necromancer School - Chapter 92 Island Survival. The final fourth day. The evaluation ends at 12 PM. Only one hour remains. Kamibarez, who had successfully entered the Unbreakable Mansion, watched the entrance anxiously. "Are you that worried?" Kamibarez turned her head. Mei-rin, with a towel wrapped around her face as if she had just washed her hair, put down a glass of fruit juice and winked. "Ah, thank you." "Don't worry too much." She sat next to Kamibarez and sipped her own juice. "They're not the type to just be helplessly defeated. They'll definitely arrive on time." "Right?" Entry into the Unbreakable Mansion was worth 200 points. It was a place that absolutely had to be entered if one aimed for at least a mid-tier ranking or higher, to the point where it could be called the only option. The interior of the mansion was a non-combat zone, and all facilities could be freely used there. While in the jungle, they had to chew on smelly monster meat or plant roots, in the mansion, they could enjoy all sorts of luxurious food, desserts, as well as shower facilities and various entertainments. Of course, not everyone just rested in the mansion. Some students waited around the mansion, targeting students trying to enter. Students who entered the mansion late were more likely to have accumulated a large number of points by hunting monsters. If these external students entered the mansion, they would become formidable competitors, but conversely, if they could be hunted, it was possible to more than double one's own points. So, the students who entered the mansion first formed an 'alliance' among themselves and built a defensive line around the mansion. In fact, latecomers couldn't even dare to enter due to the mansion's strict security. "Alright, alright. Could you all focus for a moment?" And the person who led this large-scale 'alliance' of the mansion faction, Elisa, Special Case #7 from Class E, entered the mansion. She always wore a loose admiral's coat draped over her school uniform. "There's only one hour left until the survival evaluation ends. I'd like everyone to go outside and help defend the mansion. If all the students who've earned points so far enter the mansion, we'll inevitably fall behind in terms of scores." Elisa was the daughter of the Dresden Kingdom's chancellor. She perfectly resembled her father's personality, making her a thorough politician. In this class, she was famous for occupying the bridge on the west island and extorting points from students. "This is for all of our grades. I hope you'll cooperate." Her voice had power and appeal, and her argument had justification. As she gently appealed, stimulating a sense of belonging and crisis, a considerable number of students decided to join the mansion alliance. Elisa turned her head and looked at Mei-rin. "It would be a great help if you also joined the defense team, Class A's #1." Mei-rin snorted. "Not interested." "That's surprising. I thought you and I were similar. Don't you like this method? Last time, you wouldn't even show me the vice-principal's exam paper, no matter how much I begged, saying something about class benefits." Mei-rin chuckled and replied, "Are you still holding a grudge about that? You're more petty than you look." Elisa's facial muscles twitched slightly, but there was no further change in her poker face. She spat out, "I get it. Getting something for nothing. A selfish mindset that only cares about one's own gain." At her words, the atmosphere around Elisa's students turned cold. Some students even sent openly hostile glares, putting pressure on Mei-rin. Kamibarez looked back and forth between Elisa and Mei-rin in confusion, but Mei-rin replied with a smile, "Your problem is that you're too self-centered. People aren't your pawns, you know? Don't think everyone will follow your orders." "......." Elisa bit her lip and turned her back. The sleeves of her fluttering admiral's coat swayed in the wind. "I'll remember this." Other students followed her out of the mansion as if escorting her. "A-Are you okay, Mei-rin? There was no need to provoke a big name like that...!" "It's fine. She's the type who only understands when you speak bluntly." Mei-rin calmly rested her chin on her hand and looked out the door. Kamibarez also turned her gaze towards the entrance. "Ah!" At that moment, Kamibarez sprang to her feet. "What's wrong? Kami." "Simon! Simon is coming!" "Really? W-Where? Where is he?" While the two were fussing, the movements outside the mansion also became busy. Shouts of 'Get ready!' and 'To your positions!' were heard. Elisa was even holding a magic megaphone, actively directing the students. "Ah...!" Finally, Mei-rin saw him too. Simon was walking from a distant hill. But the group was strange. On Simon's right, as he leisurely approached the mansion, was Lorraine, and on his left, there was someone she never wanted to imagine. 'Why is Serene with Simon?!' Mei-rin jumped up. There was no doubt. Simon must have fallen victim to her ability. Startled, Mei-rin began to put on her school uniform top. "Get ready! Kami! It seems Simon has become Serene's plaything...!" "Ah, I don't think so." Kamibarez said that, pointing towards the three. Simon said something, Lorraine laughed, and Serene was seen protesting indignantly. Indeed, the scene looked normal for people who weren't under mind control. 'But why is he acting friendly with Serene?!' Just as Mei-rin was seething. -Wait a moment! I have a proposal for you. Elisa's voice, amplified by the magic megaphone, was heard. Of course, the 'you' she referred to meant Simon's group of three. -We have no intention of fighting you. Instead of letting you pass. Elisa's gaze, from atop a tree, was directed beyond the three. -Could you cooperate in stopping those behind you? The three also looked back. Students who had been cautiously watching around the mansion, sensing the arrival of strong individuals, were all gathering. Their number exceeded at least 50. 'Oops.' 'They found us.' They flinched. Lorraine showed no reaction, as if it didn't matter, and Serene stared straight ahead. "How absurd." Whoosh. Elisa, holding the magic megaphone, startled and ducked her head. With a *thwack!* sound, a feather embedded itself in the tree above her head. "Who are you to command me?" Serene smiled coldly. Elisa frowned. As expected, it wouldn't be easy. "Fine." Supported by her teammates, she stood up and snapped her fingers with a furious expression. *Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!* Five subspaces opened in the air, and from within them, five large sailing ships burst out. They looked like ships that had just been salvaged after being shipwrecked in a typhoon. Their hulls were old and rusty, and their sails were riddled with holes or torn to shreds. And most importantly, all five ships were floating in the air. "Whoa!" "It's Elisa's Ghost Ships!" Elisa was a rather special Necromancy major. She could float 'Ghost Ships' in the air, powered by spirits and Jet Black. The cannons simultaneously lowered their muzzles, aiming at Simon's group and the students behind them. -I declare. Elisa said with a chilling smile. -Wipe out anyone who enters the mansion. The dropped Tongpad points will be distributed equally to anyone who participates in the defense. I, Elisa, guarantee it. Fierce cheers erupted from various parts of the mansion. "To float sailing ships like that in the sky..." "This is truly on another level!" While the students trying to enter the mansion were agitated, Serene elegantly yawned, spreading her palm, and Lorraine still looked down, uninterested. Simon also watched the scene, loosening his shoulders, and said, "Let's break through." The two nodded. With Simon leading the charge, they followed. Lorraine summoned a Skeleton Horse while running and mounted it, and Serene's feet lifted off the ground. "The Special Cases are coming!" "We'll catch up too!" The remaining students also gritted their teeth and ran. Although the Ghost Ships in the sky were threatening, there was truly no time left. "Like moths flying into a flame." Elisa extended her arm. "Wipe them out." With a deafening roar of cannons, the muzzles simultaneously spewed fire. Tens of Jet Black cannonballs rained down, devastating the ground. The forest in front of the mansion was instantly engulfed in flames and smoke. 'This is no joke.' Due to the smoke from the bombardment, Simon couldn't distinguish his surroundings. He was also separated from Lorraine and Serene, who had come with him. Simon, moving frantically to avoid the falling cannonballs, reluctantly gestured backward. *Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!* From within the thick smoke, a pre-assembled Mud Golem burst out. The Golem carried Simon and charged through the barrage of fire. "A-A Golem!" "If it's Summoning Studies, it's Simon Pollentia! Stop him!" The defending students, who had even set up fences around the mansion, shouted. Amidst the frantic rain of various ranged projectiles, the Golem pushed straight through. *CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!* The Golem, enduring all the firepower with its body, charged like a tank and shattered the fence. The students who had been holding their ground near the fence were sent flying from the impact. "Ugh!" The defensive line was breached in one go. The defending students quickly turned around. Simon, clinging to the Golem's back, waved his hand leisurely and smiled. "Stop that bastard...! Huh?" Suddenly, skeleton bones were scattered all over the ground. Simon clenched his fist. <Bone Nail Application - Mayhem> The fragmented bones flew into the sky and spun like a whirlwind. They hit students' faces or tripped their feet, hindering their movements. Students helplessly tumbled to the ground or hit their heads on the fence. [Boy! Watch out ahead!] "Huh? The Golem will take care of the front...!" *THWACK!* Due to a sudden impact, Simon was flung from the Golem's back and tumbled on the dirt ground. He spat out dirt, tasting it, and looked straight ahead. "Hector...!" He was surprised. Hector, whose upper body was covered in black, scale-like material, was engaged in a power struggle with the Golem. "Simon Pollentia!!" Hector, holding the Golem back with his strength, shouted loudly. "This time, let's settle it!" 'I'm so busy, why is he getting in the way here?' Simon frowned and lowered his arm. More power was added to the Mud Golem, pressing Hector down forcefully. Hector's legs trembled, and the ground he stood on sank deeply. "Ughhhhh!" Hector's face turned beet red, and veins bulged. Then, he opened his mouth wide and spat out something black from his throat. Breath, a technique known as a symbolic skill of dragons. The Mud Golem, struck in the chest by the black wave pouring from Hector's mouth, staggered and retreated. "Hmph! Huff!" Hector gasped for breath and regained his posture. His entire upper body was covered in scales. The unique power of the Moore family, transforming into a Corpse Dragon. The Moore family was commonly known as the 'Dragon Family'. Hector charged with a roar. The Mud Golem also didn't back down and swung its fist. *Whoosh!* Hector, deftly dodging the Golem's blow, leaped into the air and struck the Mud Golem's face. *Crack!* A crack appeared on the Mud Golem's face, forming a fist-shaped dent. Hector landed on the ground and unleashed a brutal barrage of punches. *CRACK! CRUNCH! THWACK! CRUNCH!* His two scale-covered arms moved so fast they were a blur, pummeling the Mud Golem. Then, he violently swung his arm upwards, delivering an uppercut that sent the Golem's head flying with a loud crash. 'Got it!' "What are you doing! You idiot!" A male student shouted as he passed him. Hector belatedly realized that the Golem was no longer moving. Simon, who had already extracted the Golem Core from behind the Golem, was running towards the mansion. Hector's face turned red and then purple. "SIMON POLLENTIAAAAAAA!" Enraged, Hector placed his hands on the ground, spread his legs as if to split them, and opened his mouth. A massive amount of Jet Black began to surge in his throat. 'Breath again?!' Simon thought as he put away the Golem Core. Other students, seeing Hector's ready stance, also screamed and ran away. "This madman! That skill towards the mansion!" "Hey! Hey! I'm still here!" Just as the students scattered like the Miracle of Moses, a crimson flash, running in a straight line, reached Hector. Hector let out a *'Gah!'* sound from the impact and fell backward. "Simon!!" Simon looked up, and Kamibarez, in a sitting-and-shooting stance, waved her hand and shouted, "You're safe!" "Kami! You saved me!" "I'll escort you! Hurry to the mansion!" Simon nodded and ran. But this time, there was someone in a tree aiming for Simon. 'I can't miss the points from Special Case #1.' Elisa spread her palm. One of her Ghost Ships opened its cannon ports and aimed its Jet Black cannons at Simon. "Fire...!" *WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!* Giant black flames descended from the sky and engulfed the Ghost Ship. The ship, heavily tilted by the firepower, fired its cannons harmlessly at the ground, and the deck caught fire, burning at a terrifying speed. "W-Who is it?!" Elisa screamed in fright. Mei-rin was seen, arms crossed, on a tree even higher than hers. "You! Instead of helping, you're interfering...!" "Oh, you dummy." Mei-rin grinned and conjured black flames in her palm. "I told you, people aren't your pawns, right? If you block the mansion, my friend can't get in. Do you think I'd cooperate?" "This damn...!" The two swung their arms simultaneously. Cannonballs and black flames clashed, creating deafening roars all around.
