I Became The Academy Necromancer

d to go out on the condition that we have no physical contact.” 

 

“Heh, well, that's true.
But you're a better woman than I thought, so I'm tempted.” 

 

Seeing Gideon licking his lips, Erica annoyedly passed him by.

 

Gideon continued to poke at her. 

 

“Earlier, I was wondering why you needed a list of people buried in the cemetery… the one that existed before the Academy.”

 

Tap.

 

Erica stopped in her tracks and glared at him. 

 

“But now that it's like this, I finally understand.
It's because of the bastard spirits roaming around the Academy, right?”

 

Zeronia family…

 

It was the landowner of the Robern Academy, which was once a common cemetery.

 

Therefore, Erica asked them for old documents and related information, and Gideon had used that as an excuse to have a relationship with Erica.

 

To be honest, Erica didn't know why he wanted her.
He never explained it and just smirked.

 

“So, did you find the evil spirit you were looking for?”

 

The evil spirit Erica wanted…

 

It was the one that had possessed Deus…

 

An existence that spewed out a bizarrely thick murderous intent towards her fiance.

 

“I found the clue.”

 

With those words, Erica left the ward.

 

Yeah, everything was coming together.

 

Erica had seen that girl's face the most.

 

She was powerful enough to kill a necromancer in one blow.

 

And she had first appeared in Deus' laboratory.

 

'The black-haired girl.'

 

Erica was thinking that maybe she was the evil spirit that had possessed Deus.

 

‘I have to catch that spirit before Deus returns.’

 

And she would do so, even if she had to pay a high price to a priest or learn necromancy herself.

 

Erica intended to fight her no matter what.

 

“Um, excuse me! Professor Erica!”

 

At that moment, a pink-haired professor called out from the end of the corridor.

 

It was Perr Petra, an instructor specializing in physical magic who had replaced Deus.

 

She looked around cautiously before approaching Erica and whispered.

 

“Um, excuse me.
I called you… Professor Erica… See, I'm researching the regeneration of severed bodies…”

 

She adjusted her glasses and looked down, a typical example of a timid and introverted person.

 

Erica thought it was an impressive topic to research, but she didn't have time to listen.

 

“I'm sorry, I'm a little busy right now.”

 

She passed by Perr, but Perr yelled back in frustration.

 

“But! I discovered a magic that can restore broken objects while doing a clinical experiment on regeneration! Well, it's only a little bit…”

 

“… … What does that mean?”

 

Erica stopped walking, thinking that there must be a reason Perr was saying this.

 

Perr took a deep breath and declared while clenching her fists tightly,

 

“The other day…! I think… I can restore the note left by my predecessor, Professor Deus!”

 

“……!”

 

“W-well, of course! It's impossible to recover it all, but maybe just a little bit….”

 

“Right now!”

 

Erica grabbed Perr's thin wrist and pulled her along,

 

“Let's do it right now!”

 

Remnants of that note still remained in Professor Deus’ room.
Because they didn’t even think to clean it up.

 

“Ah! P-please slow down!”

 

“We don't have time.”

 

Perr, who was led by Erica, arrived at Deus' room.
It was still dark, bleak, and had no features.

 

And the remnants of the burned note still remained on the floor.

 

“I'll try it then.”

 

Professor Perr, who knelt in front of it, took out a piece of chalk from her case and began drawing a magic circle on the floor.

 

‘The first chapter was obviously about that black-haired girl.’

 

If the first page was restored, Erica could find out Deus's opinion about that girl, and the possibility of capturing her before Deus’ arrival would increase even more.

 

Erica clenched her fists tightly, trying to calm her pounding heart.

 

“I-I'm starting now.”

 

After completing the magic circle, Perr slowly began to infuse mana. 

 

The formula she used to reach that step and the use of mana were indeed amazing.

 

It was at this point Erica realized that Perr Petra was not called an unrivaled genius whom no one could catch up to in her field for nothing.

 

Compared to such vast formulas and mana, the result was a pitifully small note though.

 

Perr collapsed, out of breath, with the piece of scorched note in her hands.

 

“I'm sorry! Huff! I didn't expect it to recover only this small part!”

 

However, Perr’s voice could no longer reach Erica’s brain.

 

[1.
About the girl who appeared in the lab]

 

Because she restored exactly what Erica wanted.

 

“You did a great job, Professor Perr!”

 

“Huh!?”

 

Leaving the flustered Perr alone, Erica hurriedly picked up the note.

 

And she read it right away, fearing that the girl would appear and destroy it again.

 

“……Uh?”

 

Reading Deus' words, Erica couldn't help but make a weird sound.

 

“This, what the hell… …?”

 

What does this even mean?

 

No, something must be off.

 

Erica felt like her head was getting all tangled up, her thoughts being a mess.

 

She thought Deus’ note would unravel the thread of mystery.
Rather, it twisted it even more – to the point where she wondered if this note was actually that evil spirit’s trick.

 

But Deus’ elegant cursive resolutely forced Erica to accept the harsh truth:

 

[Firstly, that girl is not dead.]
