I Became The Academy Necromancer

deep sea-

 

Grasp!

 

-Realizing this, Finden Ai stood in front of me, grasping Darius’ wrist, who came running and tried to slap me on the cheek.

 

“Let it go! If you have been favored by a foreign lord, you should obey quietly and not interfere with the master!”

 

“My master is not you, though?”

 

That was right.

 

Finden Ai was not part of the Verdi family but belonged to me.

 

I glanced at Darius and asked softly, “Did you know what was in there?”

 

“What? What's it to you? Your job is to just drink and fool around with women as usual! Don't forget that you promised not to interfere with family matters!”

 

Did I make such a promise?

 

Sorry, but that wasn't me.

 

“I'll ask you again.
Did you know what was inside, brother?”

 

“You figure it out on your own-!”

 

“-Break it.”

 

Crack!

 

“Aaaargh!”

 

My brother’s wrist, which was caught by Finden Ai, was neatly broken.
The servants in the back were surprised and tried to approach Darius in a hurry.

 

But as I stepped forward with a sudden movement, they backed away.

 

I looked down at Darius, who was writhing on the ground in pain and warned him.

 

“Don't test my patience anymore, brother.
I'll ask one last time, did you know?”

The Dean’s Office of the Robern Academy:

 

Karen and Professor Erica Bright were having a heated argument in front of the Dean.

 

“We need to bring back Professor Deus.”

 

At the first attack of Keren, Erica frowned and refused.

 

“Are you kidding me? Do you realize how little time it's been since Professor Deus was dismissed?”

 

Erica turned her gaze naturally to the Dean and continued speaking.

 

“Dismissal is the highest disciplinary action.
There’s a law designated by the kingdom that prohibits re-appointment for a certain period of time after Dismissal.
If we bring Deus back here, not only will the royal law be looked down upon, it will also undermine the authority of the Robern Academy.”

 

As she added that the support of the royal family, which was already shaky, could become even more opaque, the Dean’s expression darkened.

 

Karen sneered, incredulous.

 

“So what? Is this insignificant authority more important? Haven't you seen the atrocities of the strange ghosts with me? Professor Deus was the first to understand that!”

 

“Deus was just lucky to know about it.
Now that we have found clues, we can also adequately respond.”

 

“No! Ha…”

 

Karen was always rational and cool-headed in combat, but in such a debate, the techniques she had learned from her mercenary work were of no use.

 

Now, frustrated and incredulous, Karen looked at Erica directly and asked, “Why on earth? Weren't we solving cases together just yesterday? Why did you suddenly change like this?”

 

“I haven't changed.
I have been doing my best to resolve the incident, and I will continue to do so with all my power.”

 

“Stop.”

 

The debate seemed like it would continue indefinitely, but eventually, the Dean, who had remained silent with a dignified appearance, spoke up.

 

He was a warm-looking man, but today he looked infinitely serious as he contemplated.

 

Eventually, he answered.

 

“It is impossible to reinstate Deus, but let's at least hear his advice.
From the circumstances, it seems to be true that he knows something about the current situation.”

 

“Yes, I understand.”

 

Erica Bright bowed her head deeply in satisfaction, and Keren turned and stepped out of the dean’s office biting her lip.

 

Seeing Karen like that, the Dean sighed and said to Erica.

 

“It seems that Professor Erica doesn't want anything to do with Deus.”

 

“…
“

 

She agreed with silence.

 

“I will separately contact the Verdi family.
Professor, please take good care of the students and work hard to resolve the incident.”

 

“I understand.”

 

Erica bowed her head and stepped out into the hallway, looking at the sky.

 

The strangely dark sky and the thick clouds that seemed to represent the unsettling situation of the academy, even though not a single drop of rain was falling, were a sight to behold.

 

In fact, there were many ways to reinstate Deus Verdi.
In the first place, he was a guest professor invited thanks to Erica.

 

In other words, he was a non-regular employee.

 

Of course, it was only a matter of time before he was appointed as a regular professor, as he had demonstrated his ability as a skilled professor for three months.

 

In fact, the recommendation letter for his appointment as a regular professor had already been sent to the royal palace.

 

But before that could be approved, the letter for dismissal was sent, and it passed first.

 

According to the Kingdom’s Law, the punishment of dismissal could not be given to a guest professor like Deus Verdi.
At most, he could only be dismissed from his position.

 

So, he received disciplinary action in a position where he couldn't actually receive one.

 

It was unbelievable, but she did it.

 

If she was asked how there was nothing she could answer except that Gideon’s Zeronia family had exerted their power.

 

‘I’ll make sure you don’t come back to this academy no matter what, Deus.’

 

As she walked down the hallway, Erica clenched her fists and reaffirmed the promise she’d made herself.

 

‘I will definitely stop you from returning.’

 

Even if she used nonsensical logic.

 

Even if she had to act like she was going out with a goddamn narcissist…

 

She’d do it.

 

Because… that’s…

 

‘The only way to save you.’
