Necromancer Academy’s Genius Summoner

mber?”

“A-Apparently, yeah?”

Said a male student from Hector’s faction while forcing himself to smile.

“Isn’t he someone that got on your nerves? Is it alright for you not to watch them?”

“……”

Hector closed his eyes without answering.

“Phewwww.”

Simon took a deep breath, calming his trembling heart.
As he put on the vest, a barrier gauge appeared from the mana projector on the ceiling.

When this gauge reached 0%, the participating member was automatically judged as incapable of combat, and the test would immediately be stopped.
Behind Simon was Rick, Meilyn, and Camibarez standing in their set positions.
Fortunately, Meilyn persuaded the doctor, allowing her to play a support role that didn’t move from its position.

“Nothing big has changed.”

Said Simon while turning back to the members.

“Even if the situation has changed a little, it’s not like our efforts disappeared.
Let’s do our best until the end.”

The three nodded.

Meilyn, who had been dazed for a while, had a terribly serious expression on her face, as though she came to her senses when the performance assessment started.

Safety Guard Andrew looked at his watch and said,

“Please send in the next Cyclops.”

Rattle!

The iron bars of the dungeon went up.
The real Cyclops in chains showed itself from the pitch-black darkness.
Four Keepers were whining and pulling the chains, leading the Cyclops.

Gulp.

As he faced the monster, Simon’s throat went dry.

Its appearance was the same as he had seen in the simulation, but the real thing was definitely something different.
Its stench stung his nose, and the unpleasant breathing was heard irregularly.

His heart was beating like crazy with the tension.
It was terrifying to think of… meeting that kind of monster in the mountains.

And above the Cyclops’ head, a jet-black magic circle was seen floating around.

He has lost his focus because of the curse in that magic circle, but as soon as the curse was lifted, he’d regain consciousness and begin to attack the opponent in front of him.

Click! Clack!

The keepers removed the chains and fled from the dungeon in a hurry.

[Then, we’ll start the performance assessment of Group 7.]

Jane’s voice could be heard from the ceiling.

[There’s no need to overdo it.
If you think you can’t do it, anyone can raise their hand and ask to stop the assessment…]

“Yes, Professor!”

Andrew, the safety guard, went invisible and disappeared at some point too.

Now, only the four people of Group 7 and the Cyclops were left in this place.

[Removing the curse.
We’ll commence with the assessment.]

The magic circle floating above the Cyclops’ head shattered with a clank.
At the same time, the monster’s eyes, which had lost all focus, flashed and returned.

[Gwooooooooooooooooooaaagh!]

It let out a huge roar.
Simon felt like his body would blow away from just the blast of the wind.

“Simon! Hang in there!”

The battle started immediately.
Simon pulled the imaginary lever and took out the skeletons.

Three armed skeletons ran in from different directions.

‘Just do as practiced, just do as practiced!’ 

Although the participating member changed, the framework of the strategy hadn’t changed significantly.

While Simon buys time with the skeletons, Rick, Camibarez, and Meilyn go cursing.
It was a strategy to neutralize the Cyclops by stacking up Exhausts to the limit and Simon stabbing the vitals of the Cyclops to knock it down.

However…

Bang!

The Cyclops didn’t deal with the skeletons.
It charged like a chariot and smashed the skeletons with his body and rushed toward Simon right away.

“……Huh?”

“Wh-What’s going on?”

With bloodshot eyes, the Cyclops swung its club wildly.

Thump!

Simon hurriedly threw his body to the side.
The club fell where he was, and the dungeon shook violently.

“Rick! Why is this happening?”

Asked Camibarez in bewilderment as she prepared the curse.

“It’s different from the simulation!”

“Are they trying to show that simulations and reality are different? No, but this is……”

Rick slightly bit his lips.

‘It’s as if it’s coming after Simon from the beginning!’

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The Cyclops swung its club frantically while drooling from its mouth.

Simon had to avoid it by rolling on the ground like a ball against the brutal offense.

“Ugh!”

His back hurt because of the bumpy stone ground.
After dodging all the attacks, Simon jumped up and stretched out his right arm.

Rattle!

The skeleton who grabbed the Cyclops’ back slashed it with a sword.

‘Kugh! It’s a lot harder than the simulation!’

There wasn’t even a scratch on its skin.
Perhaps because it didn’t do much damage, the Cyclops still ignored the skeleton and only attacked Simon.

‘Calm down.’

Simon’s eyes lit up.

‘Smashing down diagonally.’

Simon bent his legs and momentarily leaned to the side.
The club just crossed above the direction where he leaned.

‘Side swing with a wide breadth!’

The Cyclops’ attack missed again as Simon took a short step and slipped back.
The students watching from upstairs exclaimed at Simon’s splendid movements.

Of course, Simon, who was doing it, felt like dying.

‘To think that I ended up using the analysis I did to help Meilyn!’

[Gwooooooooooah!]

At that time, when the enraged Cyclops was about to turn around and rush in…

“Exhaust!”

The three people standing in the set position finally activated the Exhausts.
The movement of the Cyclops briefly slowed down, and Simon dug into that moment.

Simon, who jumped on the jet-black, stretched his arm out behind him.
The spear thrown by the skeleton went into Simon’s hand.

‘A chance!’

Whish!

Simon’s spear flashed like lightning towards the Cyclops’ eye.
