Summoning Genius of Kizen - Chapter 79 All 961 first-year Kizen students had finished teleporting. And the moment Island Survival began. "Kyaaaaaah! Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!" "Why the hell did you touch the beehive, you idiots!" "Can't I eat this? Why am I getting hives on my arm?" Chaos erupted. Seventy percent of the first-year students were high-ranking nobles. They were hothouse flowers who barely stepped foot outside their own gardens, let alone islands or jungles. Such individuals were suddenly dropped onto an island with a tropical rainforest climate. It was only natural for panic to break out in all directions. Everyone must have come prepared mentally. Prepared to sleep outdoors. Prepared not to wash. Prepared to eat monster meat. But. "Snake! It's a snake!" "I got bitten by a bug!" "The mushrooms are moving!" Once they were actually dropped into the jungle, everything surpassed their imagination. "......Haa." It had already been 30 minutes since the survival evaluation began. Mei-rin stood with a stiff expression. She thought her situation was slightly better than other students. Thanks to Dick, she quickly obtained relevant information, and she had prepared in her own way, even learning survival skills from Hongpeng over the weekend. *Rustle.* As she bravely stepped forward, the grass on the ground was trampled, and a swarm of ants poured out. "Ugh!" She shrieked and recoiled as if fleeing. When the ants appeared, centipedes with dozens of legs suddenly sprang out and began to suck the ants dry. Mei-rin's body froze like a stone. '......I-I really can't move a single step.' There was no overcoming the physiological limitations stemming from the environment she had grown up in. And when she retreated and leaned her back against a tree, it was five seconds before she discovered the fire ants crawling onto her shoulder. "Kyaaaaaaaaaah!" The situation for other students was equally grim. Of course, they hadn't come unprepared. Survival Island was a well-known annual event at Kizen, and students had thought the core of this evaluation was 'monster hunting' and 'combat between Kizen students,' so they had only focused on raising their combat abilities. It didn't take long for them to realize that was a mistake. And in these harsh conditions, the students' actions were uniform. "Let's combine our strength!" "We're going all the way!" The instinct to flock together. Since it was scary to be alone, they gathered first. In the beginning, everyone started with 0 points, so there was little fear of betrayal. Thus, several students grouped together, forming teams, and began to derive solutions through collective intelligence. Especially if there was even one commoner among the group, they became the best leaders in this situation. "......What are you all doing?" Laurenna, a commoner from Class B, stood with her hands on her hips, looking exasperated. Behind her, grown noble men were hugging each other, clinging tightly to a tree. In front of them, a single earthworm wriggled past. "Q-Quickly get rid of that!" "Nanny! Nanny!" Young masters calling for their nannies were already popping up everywhere. Unfamiliar surroundings, hot and humid weather, disgusting bugs, and the threat of monsters. Trying to maintain their condition in the worst possible circumstances, their stomachs quickly grew hungry. As if Kizen knew this, they had already begun dropping supplies. Magic circles unfolded in the sky, and supplies began to fall from them. "Over there!" "Let's go!" Upon seeing the magic circles, students rushed towards them without hesitation. "Huff, huff, we're here!" "We're first......!" And the moment they pushed through the dense bushes and climbed onto an open hill. "......!" By rough estimate, over 20 students were already waiting for the descending supplies, eyeing each other. 'What is this?!' '......The competition is insane.' "Get lost." It was then. A particularly large student stomped up the hill. "Unless you want to die." Class A's Hector Moore. At the appearance of the named student, some students flinched and backed away. Then, a male student leaning against a rock chuckled. "Kid, you're acting way too big. Are you the young master of the Moore family?" A slender man. His yellow-dyed hair covered his left eye, and he held a long staff of unknown purpose in his hand. Hector's expression crumpled. "Special Admission No. 10. Malcolm Randolph." "Ah, cut me some slack. It's been over a month since admission, and you're still going on about 'special admission, special admission'?" "A worm who caught the last train has a long tongue." Malcolm's eyebrow twitched. There were exactly 10 special admissions. Among them, the last member, No. 10, was often referred to by students with derogatory slang like 'caught the last train' or 'last-train rider.' Of course, almost no one called him that to his face. "You're from Class A, aren't you?" Malcolm spat on the ground and stood up. "That 'No. 1' in your class, doesn't he manage his kids?" This time, Hector's eyebrow twitched. "Supplies or not, I'll deal with you first." "Oh my, how scary~ Try it if you can." Both activated their cores and charged at each other. From the very beginning, named students clashed, and the roaring sounds continuously echoed across the island. Not just here, but battles over supply drops were occurring simultaneously in multiple locations. While the 'artifacts' randomly included in the supply drops were also necessary, the most important reason was, of course, food. "I'm hungry." "......Do we really have to roast a monster?" Thus, on the first day of Island Survival. While students were generally in a state of confusion. One boy stood out. *Drag, drag, drag.* A man dragging vines and wood, herbs, and fruits over one shoulder, and a monster's leg in his other hand. He had crushed fennel smeared on his face to prevent bug bites and wore boots on his legs. 'W-Is he a native?' 'What kind of look is that?' Students who saw him all looked surprised. He had perfectly localized himself, and it had only been a few hours since he arrived. 'I heard there was nothing to eat here.' Simon grinned as he put the ingredients into his subspace. 'There's so much? It's a paradise of ingredients!' Simon was scavenging everywhere, collecting fruits, herbs, edible animals and monsters, sturdy branches, and materials. 'Does he know the jungle well?' 'Is he a former treasure hunter?' While they might not have known it outside, Simon's current working appearance inspired a certain admiration among the students. Some students approached him as if possessed and asked. "Hey, want to join our team? We can take responsibility for combat." "If it's okay, why don't you come with us......" Simon shook his head with a smile. "Sorry, but I plan to spend the first day alone." Simon, who flatly refused all offers, held an axe in his hand and poked a large plant in front of him. *Crack!* The plant's body split open, and a high-sugar fruit popped out. Simon collected it and continued walking. Some students, seeing what Simon did, approached the fruit-bearing plant. When they poked its body, its leaves suddenly split open like a carnivorous plant and swallowed the student's body. "Isn't this how you do it?" "Aaaah! You crazy bastard! Don't just watch, do something!" Only those who foolishly followed suffered. After that, Simon's movements remained unhindered. He walked with his skeletons, sweeping up all the useful materials found on the island. "Oh, I can get this here." Simon pulled out a large quantity of plants floating in a stream. They were called bladderworts, plants that remained intact even when stepped on while floating on water. He also collected wild coconuts full of moisture and high in sugar, and sorghum that could be used as a spice. And most strangely of all, while the vast majority of students were advancing towards the center of the island, Simon was walking towards the sea. It was a movement in the exact opposite direction. [Hey, boy.] Pier also felt curious about that point. [Your will to search for Bikrum is commendable, but aren't you getting too far from the center?] "It's fine." Simon grinned. "I'll catch up with everything in one go tomorrow." [......?] Perhaps because he was heading in the opposite direction from other students, human traces became increasingly sparse, and the signs of other students disappeared. Conversely, monster attacks became more frequent. Of course. *Thwack!* *Rip!* The island's monsters were no match for Simon's summoned creatures. Currently, thanks to his training with Pier, Simon could control four undead simultaneously. 'This time, a Grade 2 monster, a Lacquer.' A monster resembling a leopard, with a long snout and six legs, was charging. Simon flicked his finger, and a skeleton with a shield ran forward, colliding with the beast. "Leg." And a skeleton with a spear thrust its spear past the shield, impaling one of the monster's pivotal legs. "Arrow." A Skeleton Archer's arrow lodged itself in the monster's eye. Blood flowed from its eye, obscuring the Lacquer's vision with gore. "Flank." One skeleton moved to the side and swung its sword. The sword deeply embedded itself in its neck, and the beast slumped down. "Nice, good job." *Clack.* *Clack.* The skeletons rattled their weapons, celebrating their victory. Simon approached and squatted in front of the dead monster's corpse. He held up his Tongpad, and a tongue extended, swallowing the monster's magic power. His points increased by 2. "Can't eat this either. Let's go." Pier's sub-body, watching the scene, grinned. Simon's skeleton handling was getting better and better. Simon then left the jungle and arrived at the beach. It was a place with a small dock. Minions were moving luggage, and two teaching assistants were guarding the area. "What is it?" And one of those teaching assistants was someone Simon had a bad history with. Bread, the Martial Arts teaching assistant, frowned and said. "Student, why are you here? This area is off-limits to students. Get lost." Bread waved his hand dismissively. Simon gave a wry smile and bowed his head. "Or what." Bread thumped his chest with his fist. "Not enough with the students, so you want to challenge me?" "I'll decline. Good work~" Simon cleanly stated his refusal and left. He moved away from the beach again, heading towards a densely forested area. 'Since that person came, it should be around here.' Simon was looking around when he discovered a place where spiderwebs were stretched out, connecting like a path. As Simon followed it, he saw a large spiderweb spread out at the end of his destination. A bracelet was placed on it. That was the subspace bracelet. "It's time for us to meet, Pier." [Kuhahahahaha! I've waited a long time!] And what burst out from within was Pier, along with the Legionized skeleton army. The Legion had appeared on Kera Island.
