I Became The Academy Necromancer

ke up, this was placed on the bed in my room.
I was so scared that I quickly brought it.”

 

“You mean you got a letter that wasn’t there yesterday?”

 

“Yes!” 

 

Erica's expression turned sour.
She sneaked a glance at Gideon and Karen behind her, wondering if they recognized the emblem.

 

“Let’s first see what it is.”

 

Calmly, Karen approached and snatched the letter.
Erica, a magician, could not respond to the former mercenary and swordsman’s swift and fast movements.

 

“Oh, the mountain and tiger that represent North Whedon… Isn’t it the Verdi family’s emblem?”

 

“Verdi?”

 

Gideon, too, seemed intrigued and approached right away, thinking it must have been left by Deus Verdi.

 

“Can I read it?”

 

“Oh, yes!”

 

After getting permission from Professor Perr, who received the letter, Karen immediately opened and unfolded it.
Gideon and Erica stuck to both of her sides to check its contents.

 

The letter was written in a classic style using a quill pen and cursive handwriting.

 

[Precautions when using the laboratory.]

 

1.
Remove the full-length mirror.

 

2.
Don’t be loud.

 

3.
Don’t run around.

 

4.
Don’t talk to yourself when no one is around.

 

5.
If you accidentally talk to yourself and someone speaks to you, ignore them.

 

6.
Leave the lab before evening, if possible.

 

7.
If someone knocks on the window, ignore them.

 

9 If a woman with black clothes suddenly opens the door and comes in, hide under the desk, close your eyes, plug your ears, and hold your breath.

 

10.
If there is a missing number in this letter, burn it immediately.

 

“…Huh?”

 

Even Professor Karen, who had gone through all sorts of hardships while working as a mercenary, couldn’t help but show her confusion.

 

What kind of precautions were these?

 

“Missing number? Number 8 is missing, isn’t it?”

 

Gideon, who was next to her, muttered after having finished reading the letter belatedly.
Then a moment later, he smiled brightly.

 

“Hahaha! Professor Deus is wittier than I thought.
Even playing this kind of prank…”

 

But it was a forced, distorted smile. 

 

Erica bit her lip.
Grabbing the letter hurriedly, she immediately burned it.

 

“Did you ever see that man joking?”

 

Even Erica, his fiancée, was able to see his smile only once- on the day he left the academy.

 

The letter turned to ashes and disappeared into the air.

 

Karen frowned, wondering if Erica had been too hasty in burning it.

 

But she froze when the ashes of the letter didn't scatter or sink to the ground, but floated in the air as if waiting for something.

 

“…
This….”

 

As soon as Karen noticed the strange phenomenon, suddenly she looked at Erica, who had already blown her mana into the ashes.

 

As if the ashes were also waiting for the same, they began to move and form letters.

 

[If a number is missing in the letter, it means that not just the lab but the entire academy is already in their hands.]

 

“Their?”

 

Gideon spoke with a puzzled voice, but the others focused on the content of the letter.

 

[I cannot predict what kind of situation will unfold, but the solution to this chaos is left in the third drawer of the desk I used to use.]

 

“…!”

 

[And… Just be merciful to them.]

 

There was no more message in the fallen ashes.

 

Therefore, Karen was the first to run out.
Having already checked all the labs, the only thing left was the room that Deus used.

 

“Mercy..?”

 

Professor Perr was pondering the last words with a dumbfounded expression, but Gideon and Erica were already chasing after Keren.

 

“Do you know which room Professor Deus used?!”

 

Being taken aback by Keren’s question, Gideon replied.

 

“Were you running without knowing that? It's room 404 in the faculty dorms! It's the last room!”

 

All three of them rushed to the room.
Karen broke down the locked door and hurriedly entered.

 

Only basic furniture remained in the lonely room. 

 

When she opened the desk drawer, there was indeed a small note lying there.

 

“As expected, Professor Deus knew something!”

 

“What did this damn professor do?”

 

Karen and Gideon were pleased that the troublesome task had been solved, but Erica remained silent with her lips tightly closed.

 

Flutter.

 

As Karen unfolded the note, characters, in the same handwriting as the previous letter, were hastily written.

 

[Regarding the girl who appeared in the lab]

 

“Is it the same girl that Professor Perr saw?”

 

Professor Perr, who had just joined them, was panting and struggling to catch her breath.
Her full breasts swayed so much with every breath that they caught everyone's attention.

 

As they were about to continue reading-

 

[Found it.
Hehehe…]

 

-a girl's voice echoed throughout the room.

 

Whoosh!

 

And suddenly, the note left behind by Professor Deus caught fire.

 

“What the-!”

 

Trying to quickly extinguish the fire, Karen threw it to the ground and stomped on it, but the flames only grew stronger instead of weakening.

 

“Move aside!”

 

Water droplets came out of Erica’s palms as she attempted to put out the fire, but…

 

The note was already gone without a trace.
