I Became The Academy Necromancer

nd anyway.

 

As I walked silently outside, Finden Ai's grumbling footsteps followed me like a shadow.

Professor Karen, who was in the midst of investigating a strange incident at the Robben Academy, entered Professor Perr's laboratory.

 

Professor Perr, who had fainted on her first day in the academy, had not set foot in her laboratory since that day.

 

“So, it's this mirror?”

 

Karen stood in front of a full-length mirror that, based on Perr’s testimony, was weird and unusual.

 

But what appeared in Karen's view was a beautiful woman dressed in a white gown; 

 

The sword scar running down her nose gave her a tough and commander-like aura.

 

The narrowed dull gray eyes seemed to be judging everything in the world with a skeptical standard.

 

“Seems like there's no problem.”

 

'Didn't she say that even if she turned her body, she was the same in the mirror?'

 

Karen turned around, but her reflection in the mirror also turned the same way.

 

“Wait.”

 

'Shouldn't it show my left side that was reflected in the mirror…? Not the right side that one would see from behind.'

 

Karen stroked her chin and drew her sword, which was fastened to her waist, and swung it.

 

Clink!

 

The mirror shattered into pieces.

 

Amid the shattered pieces of the mirror, Karen saw her own reflection, laughing mockingly.

 

“There's definitely something here.”

 

This was Professor Perr's laboratory now.

 

However, this place was originally the laboratory of the dismissed Professor Deus Verdi.

 

“And this place was also the starting point.”

 

In terms of time, this laboratory was the first place where the abnormal phenomenon occurred. 

 

Professor Perr said she saw a girl with long hair amidst numerous screams and haunting voices, but that girl didn't show up no matter how long Karen waited. 

 

Thinking that it would be a pity if she ended her search with only one mirror, she began to look around the laboratory.

 

Since Former Professor Deus used a lot of equipment from the Robert Academy and left most of the items behind, there were quite a few things to look through. 

 

As she moved to check the professor's desk, the door of the laboratory creaked open.
She thought it might be another strange phenomenon, but it wasn't.

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

It was Erica Bright, the beauty and fiancee of Deus Verdi, who entered with her blonde hair resting on her shoulders.

 

“Oh, Professor Erica.
You came at just the right time.
Did your fiance happen to mention anything about this incident?”

 

Erica frowned openly at Karen, who seemed to be taunting her.

 

“He hasn't contacted me since he disappeared, and he has nothing to do with this incident.”

 

“He has nothing to do with it?”

 

“Yes, he doesn't.”

 

Karen began to suspect Erica more because of her firm answer.

 

“Why do you think that way?”

 

Erica was annoyed by Karen's questioning tone.

 

“Professor Karen thinks this is a kind of terrorism, but he doesn't have that kind of ability.
He's just someone who can't even get a title as a professor.
Don't forget, he was barely able to attach the title of a guest professor due to being my fiance.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

Certainly, the materials left behind by Professor Deus contained only very basic magic books.
Well, they were so basic that she thought it was pointless.

 

“So, don't waste your time uselessly and find the real culprit.”

 

“Well, I'll try to do it my way.
You know, the school director has entrusted me with full authority to investigate this case.”

 

“….”

 

Erica kept her mouth shut since she had already received a report on the matter.

 

Thud, thud, thud.

 

Heavy, rhythmic footsteps echoed in the hallway.
Both of them knew that it was not an unusual sign.

 

Because the ground-shaking footsteps were quite famous at the Robern Academy.

 

“Huh? All the beautiful professors of our academy are gathered here.”

 

With a handsome appearance that naturally led to the label of “pretty boy” and a passionate personality, Gideon Zeronia entered the room.
He was a son of a powerful family and in addition to being a master of exceptional swordsmanship, he was the most popular professor among female students.

 

He smiled refreshingly, and Karen replied sluggishly.

 

“Are you investigating this case too, Professor Gideon?”

 

“Excuse me? No, I came to pick up Professor Erica.
I have something to tell her.”

 

Erica said she understands and immediately stepped out of the research lab.

 

“Don't waste your time poking around in useless places.”

 

She said to Karen in a cutting tone as she passed by.

 

Thud.

 

As the two of them left and the door closed, Karen's eyes trembled for a moment.

 

“Hmm?”

 

Before the door closed, it seemed like Gideon's hand was approaching Erica's waist.

 

Even though she seemed to have broken off her engagement with Deus, wasn't it too short of a time to start a new relationship?

 

Karen cautiously opened the door and peeked out.

 

“I told you to not touch me.”

 

Erica pushed away Gideon's hand that was approaching to wrap around her waist.

 

“Come on, you're too conservative.
People who are dating can do that.”

 

Gideon laughed easily and reached out his hand again, but-

 

Slap!

 

-Erica slapped it away.

 

'Are they dating?'

 

That being said, it didn't seem like Erica had any particularly strong feelings of affection toward Gideon.
At least, as a fellow female, that's what Karen thought looking at her behavior.

 

'Well, it's not my business.'

 

Ignoring Erica's advice, Karen closed the door silently and began to search the lab again.
