Summoning Genius of Kizen Chapter 7The surroundings fell silent as if a mouse had died.‘…They just called my name, right?’Simon felt his mind go blank.“Student Simon Pollentia. Is he not here?”Simon swallowed hard and stood up. The gazes of a thousand peers were focused on him.“Who is that?”“I have no idea.”“He’s number 1?”It was his first time in such a crowded place, and his first time receiving so much attention.Simon gulped and walked up to the stage, standing next to Serene.“Huuuh.”As Simon slowly exhaled, the announcer approached and patted Simon’s shoulder.“Don’t be nervous. Just do as it says here.”“Yes, I understand.”Serene looked at Simon. She nodded, and Simon responded with a nod of his own.Both of them raised their right hands simultaneously.“Oath.”“Oath.”Then, from behind, the voices of 998 students echoed, shouting “Oath” in unison.“We, the incoming students…”“We, the incoming students…”Simon moved his lips, but his head was spinning.He didn’t know if he was speaking correctly or what the content was. He just did his best to read each word, trying not to falter, matching Serene’s voice.And so, from the very first day of admission,Simon caught everyone’s eye.***“No way! Wow! You were Special Case #1?!”As soon as Simon returned to his seat, Lowen shouted excitedly.Simon tried to explain the situation, but the tight class schedule began, forcing them to move immediately to the lecture hall.It was the entrance ceremony and the first day of school, but they didn’t just let it pass. The first class began right away.Simon was assigned to Class A. The first semester of the first year proceeds without a specific major, and a total of 14 classes are operated.Initially, over 60 students attend class together, but often this number is halved later, and classes are frequently merged.When Simon entered Class A, he knew no one. Neither Lorraine nor Lowen was there, and only Cindy Vivace, whom he had met at the bookstore, greeted him with, “Hey! Special Case #1!”Still, since it was a new class and everyone was awkward, Simon was able to blend in appropriately.‘The first class is Curse Studies.’Simon, who had taken a seat in the back, took out his textbook and looked up, seeing students who had been looking back at him quickly turn their heads away.Simon gave a wry smile and pretended not to notice.Creak!Finally, the lecture hall door opened, and the professor entered. A thunderous cheer erupted from the students who recognized him.“Bahil Amagar!”“Is it really him?”When people think of the word Necromancer, some imagine a dark, gloomy atmosphere, hiding in the shadows and touching corpses.But that was just an old story now.Modern Necromancers, who have risen to prominence, have a smart, practical, sophisticated, and trendy image. In fact, the rigid and conservative image was closer to the Priests.And one of the figures representing these new-generation Necromancers was ‘Bahil’.Dressed in a pure white suit from head to toe, Bahil boasted truly model-like proportions.With his outstanding looks, and at the young age of late 20s, he was a star young Necromancer belonging to Kizen’s core force, ‘The Crows’.He was an absolute object of admiration for Kizen students.Bahil smiled broadly at the students’ cheers and waved his hand. The excited squeals of some female students could be heard.“Welcome, new students. I am Bahil Amagar, in charge of this year’s first-year Curse Studies class.”Cheers erupted once more. Bahil skillfully calmed the students by raising both hands, then placed the felt fedora he was wearing on the podium.“Shall we call attendance? Since you are all new to each other, when your name is called, please give a brief self-introduction.”Bahil called out the attendance.“Jamie Victoria.”“Yes! Professor, it’s truly an honor! I, too, wish to follow you…!”Bahil extended his hand to stop Jamie’s words, then playfully winked.“You’re not introducing yourself to me, but to your friends here. Again.”Small laughs could be heard here and there. Jamie Victoria blushed and said she looked forward to the semester.After Jamie’s smooth start, everyone introduced themselves in a generally polite manner.Simon also kept his introduction brief, as it wouldn’t be good to stand out further in this situation.Occasionally, there were students who tried to appeal to others in preparation for group projects, or those who introduced themselves with an air of superiority.```
