## Prequel

### Rose Withdrawal

Before the start of the novel, the world was ruled by Wizards who controlled mana through magic, and Knights who harnessed mana in the form of aura. But that changed 300 hundred years ago with the rise of Necromancers. When the greatest empire of the time, the Talheren Empire, fell to the hands of merely ten necromancers. 3 of which were Commanders of the Legion.

Fearing the growing power and influence of necromancers, the Emperor commanded an army of 50,000 strong to destroy their stronghold. Kizen. In response, Nefthis, the Witch of Death sent 10 necromancers to combat the army. Easily annihilating them and raising the army as undead to attack the empire they once protected.

At the time, the Emperor safely escaped the capital before the undead army arrived. Fleeing to the second most prosperous city in the empire where the renown swordsmaster of the Empire protected. To ensure the Empire couldn't conduct a counter attack, Kizen proceeded to launch a military spell at the city, reducing it into the Death Lands.

The Emperor was killed and turned into an undead puppet. To rule the fallen Empire and establish what is now known as the Dark Alliance that rules over half the continent.

### The Betrayal of the 7th Legion

The time was 21 years ago from the start of the story, at the end of the Hundred Years' War. The conflict between the Dark Union and the Holy Federation was fierce. At the height of the war, the Dark Union targeted Anna Cross, the Saintess of Miracles who was hailed as the most powerful saint of the time, and the best asset of the Holy Federation.

However, during this operation, the 7th Legion led by Yona, a Commander of the Dark Alliance and considered to be leading the strongest legion of the time, intervened. They attempted to save Anna Cross and turned their blades on their own allies.

As a result, most of the necromancers who participated in the war to defeat Anna Cross either died or suffered significant damage.

In fact, it was top secret, known only to a very few, that Yona and Anna were actually lovers. Despite being a necromancer and a priest on opposite sides of the Hundred Years' War, they continued to meet in secret. When Anna was in crisis, Yona could no longer stand idly by and rebelled for the sake of his love.

Due to this incident, the Dark Alliance suffered heavy losses and designated Legion Commander Yona and the 7th Legion as traitors. Subsequently, Yona and the 7th Legion faced relentless pursuit and attacks. Yona ultimately made the tragic choice to disband the legion and disappear.

Furthermore, during the legion's final battle, several captains of the 7th Legion sacrificed themselves to buy time for the rest to escape. Their whereabouts became unclear, and Pier, the ancient undead and marshal of the 7th Legion, also disappeared. In the end, the 7th Legion, once hailed as the strongest, officially became a lost corps.

Additionally, Anna chose to be with Yona and underwent a procedure to remove the Essence of the Saintess. She renounced her saintly position and fled with Yona, causing a great uproar in the Holy Federation.

In the end, both factions declared both individuals as dead in the final battle to prevent further confusion. However, those in the know are aware that both are still alive and in hiding. Yona and the 7th Legion were considered traitors by the Dark Alliance, and Anna Cross was declared a martyr who died during that battle to the citizens of the Holy Federation.

Afterward, Yona assumed his real name, Richard Polentia, and became the lord of a country estate called Les hill in his hometown of the Baldwin Kingdom. Anna also married Richard and lived as Anna Polentia. Later, their child, Simon, was born.

Seventeen years later, the a new story begins with Nefthis visiting Les hill and handing Simon a certificate of special admission.

## The First Semester of the Golden Generation (1-206)

### Arrival in Kizen (1-21)

Years have passed since the betrayal of the 7th Legion and the end of the 100-Year War between the Dark Union and the Holy Federation. Now, in a peaceful, countryside, mountain region of Les Hill, Richard and Anna Polentia are happily married and rule over the quiet land.

Their son, Simon Polentia, is the sole heir to the Les Hill Barony and believed he would spend his entire life in the mountains. That is until a little girl with silver hair appears on his windowsill.

This girl claims to be Nefthis, the infamous Witch of Death who came intending to bring Simon to the world-renowned necromancer academy, Kizen.

With his admission underway, Simon's father opens the core for Simon. A vital artificial organ necessary for all Necromancers. Then guides him to the border of the Baldwin Kingdom and instructs Simon in how to use Jet-Black.

Simon, venturing out of Les hill for the first time in his life, arrives in Langerstine, the capital of the Kingdom of Dresden. There, he meets Lorain, the daughter of Nefthis, who serves as his guide. Thank to her, he learns about Kizen and manages to safely acquire the necessary textbooks.

On his day of admission, Simon garners attention as the "Special Admissions #1" and undergoes skill assessments in his classes.

Unfortunately, as a beginner, Simon struggles. Constantly losing to his peers who have not only opened their cores for much longer, but have received gifted education for years. Despite his struggles, some Kizen Professors begin to notice his hidden talents. Among them, they are Aaron Deia, Hong Feng Tun Sokum Marerat, and Bahil Amagar.

At the same time, he develops a sort of rivalry against his classmate, Hector Moore.

He settles into a tough yet satisfying school life at Kizen and meets his new best friend, Rick Hayward, and starts to settle in to his new life. However, on the third day of school, he meets with Nefthis again and receives new directions from her, proceeding to follow them.

Simon arrives at some ruins, where he discovers an unusual set of skeletal remains. Which was where he's drawn to assemble and activate the skeleton.

Once revived, the skeleton introduces himself as Pier. The Marshal of the lost 7th Legion. Who reveals that his father, Richard Polentia, was once one of the most powerful necromancer in the world and led 7th Legion as its Commander. Then asks Simon to inherit his legacy.

After Simon accepts, Pier warns him that Richard once used the 7th Legion to save his mother, an enemy priest. Stigmatizing the 7th Legion as the Legion of Betrayal. So their plans and actions to rebuild the fallen legion must be done in secrecy.

In this manner, a new 7th Legion and its commander are born, unbeknownst to the world at large.

### Performance Assessment (21-42)

The birth of the new 7th Legion was hidden in the shadows of the world and Simon returned to class as normal. But a new layer of Kizens curriculum was unfolding. Jane Olivia, the head instructor of Class A, instructs everyone to form groups which will be evaluated regularly for the rest of the term.

Having already known in advance, Rick had strategized with Simon to attract as many top-tier talents into their group as possible but found it difficult. Taking a risk, Simon approaches the student with the best grades in the entire class. A noble from the Ivory Tower, Meilyn Villenne and succeeds in inviting her into their group. Rick then brings in Camiberaz Ursula, a half-vampire of the famous Ursula Clan as their final member. Establishing Team 7.

The first assignment they were given as a group was to plan, prepare, and execute a fight against a Cyclops. With one member participating in the fight while the other three support them with any form of magic besides direct attacks.

Meilyn, who demonstrates advance Elemental Magic, was chosen as Team 7's participant while Simon would distract the Cyclops with summoned Skeletons. Rick and Camiberaz would use curses to hinder the Cyclops as Meilyn defeats the monster. Finally, Simon decided to increase their chances using a powerful poison called Nervie.

To gather the necessary ingredients, Meilyn gathered what she could within Kizen, Rick went to Rochester for a few rarer ingredients, and Simon and Camiberaz head to the Forbidden Forest at night for the final Lehark Mushroom. Their plan goes awry almost immediately due to the intervention of Hector who learns of their plans and alerts Kizen's Keepers.

Escaping from the Keepers, Simon and Camibarez run deeper into the Forbidden Forest. Although they managed to escape the Watchers, they become lost in the forest.

Together, they collect the remaining ingredients. As they try to return to Kizen, the pair stumble onto a prayer ritual being conducted by the greatest enemies of Kizen. A priest worshiping the Deva Goddess.

The priest chases after the pair and attacks them. Simon is forced to summon Pier at the last moment to give them the chance to escape.

The pair decide to keep what happened a secret to prevent panic. Simon only informed Lorain of their encounter with the priest to pass on to her mom.

School life continues at Kizen while the priest remains at large in the shadows. Simon's talent begin to develop in both Summoning and Dark Combat Magic. During a class on Curses, Professor Bahil helps Simon by casting a sensory curse on him to help Simon achieve an enhanced state of focus.

As Team 7 prepares for their Cyclops assessment, an accident occurs and Meilyn hurts her leg. Forcing her to give up the position of the participating member. Taking her place, Simon fights against the Cyclops as the other three support him.

Their plans immediatly goes wrong when the Cyclops proves itself to be much stronger than in the simulations. Having much higher strength and endurance along with curse-resistance.

Simon fights against the Cyclops using his summons while Rick supports him with enchanted weaponry, Meilyn defends agains the Cyclops with ice magic, and Camibarez casts a powerful hemorage spell on it. Finally, they barely managed to defeat the Cyclops.

The team celebrates their victory before the next element of Kizen's educational system unveils itself.

### Mission Evaluation (43-52)

Introducing Kizen's Mission Evaluation. A period of time when students are allowed to leave Kizen and complete real-world jobs as active Necromancers. These missions can be as simple as disassembling and organizing corpses, hunting down dangerous monsters, or even assassinating enemy figures. Besides receiving evaluation points for their grade, commissions will be rewarded once the mission is completed.

Missions are divided into four levels. White missions, which can be completed on Roke Island and have the lowest level of difficulty. Blue missions, which take students around the Dark Alliance. Red missions, ones that happen in the Neutral Area between the Dark Alliance and the Holy Federation. And finally, Black missions. Where students will have to infiltrate the Holy Federation, the homeland of priests.

As his first act as a Commander, Simon needs to reclaim the Ancient Undead of his father. Who were scattered across the continent after Richard disbanded the 7th Legion. Using the opportunity to leave Kizen, Simon heads for the Territory of Arnish. Where traces of one such Ancient Undead, the Captain of the Spider Troops, Elizabeth were found.

Unbeknown to him or Kizen, the lord of the territory, Count Raymond, has already reached out and contacted the Holy Federation with the same request to investigate mysterious murders perpetrated by Elizabeth. So Ellen Zeile, a 2nd-year student of Efnel, Kizen's counterpart, has already entered the territory.

Simon buys armor for Pier to use in public and takes him to Arnish. At Kizen's teleportation circle, Simon meets Serene Aindark. The official successor to the Ivory Tower which Meilyn belongs too. Although Simon becomes annoyed when she treats Meilyn as someone beneath her.

Arriving in Arnish, instead of going directly to the lords mansion, Simon takes Pier to the information guild. They begin their investigation when Pier discovers the waitress was the very undead they were searching for. They fight momentarily within the bar when Ellen reveals herself and unleashes her Divinity on everyone.

Elizabeth had escaped and Pier saves Simon from Ellen's onslaught and chases after Elizabeth. Once they arrive at the cave which Elizabeth made her stronghold, Simon tries to negotiate with Elizabeth to return to the legion. Once she refuses, Simon reveals that he is the son of her former Commander and arch-enemy. Triggering Elizabeth into a mad frenzy.

Pier manages to defeat Elizabeth and pin her down. But before they can complete their negotiation, Ellen reappears and annihilates most of Elizabeth's spider troops and launches a spear of pure Divinity at Elizabeth. At the final moment, Simon jumps out to shield her and takes the spear with his own body. Enraged, Pier and Elizabeth join forces and easily subdue Ellen.

After Simon recovers, he finds Ellen tied up above a fire surrounded by Elizabeth's spiders. Interrogating her, they find out she's only impersonating an Efnel student and was expelled two years ago. While conversing, Elizabeth declares she will join Simon's legion under the condition that Simon kills Ellen with his own hands. A condition Simon refuses by saying Elizabeth wasn't worth it.

Leaving Elizabeth behind, Simon takes Pier and Ellen to the lords mansion. Once there, the lord tries to persuade Simon to return to Kizen without any further investigation as he already gave the job to Ellen. But Simon reveals his deceit and reveals that he already captured Ellen and that the lords actions of directly leading to the collision between a Priest and Necromancer was tantamount to treason. If news returned to Kizen, the entire territory would perish.

Using that threat, Simon managed to extort ten times the commission money from the lord and leaves. Giving part of the sum to Ellen before letting her return back to the Holy Federation. At the same time, Elizabeth appears, offering herself free of charge to the Legion. This time, Simon accepts and shackles Elizabeth so she doesn't kill anymore humans without permission.

With Elizabeth in the legion, Simon returns to Kizen successfully. Once he returns, he reunites with Camiberaz before going to Piers ruins. Along the way, Elizabeth demonstrates her ability to freely change her voice and appearance into anyone she likes. Proving herself as the 7th Legion's infiltration and intelligence specialist. With her abilities, Simon decides to set a trap for the Priest who infiltrated Roke Island.

### Duel Evaluations (53-72)

Simon returns to class on cake day and receives sweets from his group members and classmates. Professor Jane then announces the next step of Kizen's curriculum. The upcoming Duel Evaluations where students in the same grade with fight 1v1 among each other. At the end of the year, the bottom 10% students will be expelled without exception.

They go into training and Simon meets a fellow Summoner Aspirant, Toto Amori. A student who laments on only being good at Summoning. A subject that is known to be weak in Duel Evaluations. He envies Simon who is skilled in Combat Magic and Curses as well.

After talking with Toto, an Assistant Teacher offers to have a mock duel with Simon. The TA easily bypasses Simon's skeleton and forces him to abandon summons and switch to Combat Magic. A point the TA emphasizes on. With her advise, Simon realized he was expecting the Skeleton to fail from the beginning and has trouble accepting that.

As Team 7 regroups and plans, Hector arrives and challenges Simon to a duel. Although Simon refused, Hector doesn't accept it. Forcing Meilyn to intervene and stop him. Before a fight rises between them a TA comes and breaks up the fight warning them not to do it again. Meilyn then takes Simon to the infirmary to treat the injury caused by him stopping her flame magic and thanks him.

In the next class, Necromancy, taught by Professor Umbra, Simon discovers that unlike other subjects, he has absolutely zero talent in this field. To use necromancy, the caster must be able to feel 'spirit' and channel it into spells. Simon fails this fundamental aspect of the spell. Whereas everyone who could feel spirit were being taught offensive magics that would continue to be useful in the upcoming Duel Evaluations.

Due to being away on a mission, Professor Silage who had been unable to teach a class on Hemomancy returned to Kizen. Hemomancy uses the necromancers blood as a medium to cast fast and powerful spells. Because of that property, the blood type of the user is especially important when dealing with Hemomancy. Camiberaz shines through her natural talent as an Ursula Vampire who possesses the famous KP-1 blood type. On the other hand, Simon is revealed to have a completely unknown blood type that Professor Silage names SM-01. Making it difficult if not impossible to properly develop his Hemomancy skills for the foreseeable future. Due to his unique blood type, Professor Silage decides to bring Simon into the Hemomancy Department and develop it.

In Curse Class, Professor Bahil introduces two new types of highly effective curses to the class. Asking the students to divide into which spell they would rather learn. He hoped that Simon would chose to learn the spell more effective for curse users but Simon chose to learn the spell designed to support other subjects instead. A choice that infuriates him.

Once classes were over, Simon thinks about everything he learned. The general consensus was that Summoning was a major unsuitable for Duel Evaluation. As someone who wants to learn summoning, Simon becomes more and more irritated by this opinion. He consults with Pier about his feelings of choosing what's practical or what he wants instead.

Ultimately, Simon decides to change his mindset entirely and focus everything on Summon with the goal of proving everyone wrong.

Elsewhere, Professor Bahil is enraged at Simon's choice to pursue Summoning. Declaring that Simon's talent was far to incredible and even if he succeeding in Summoning, at most he would reach the level of Professor Aaron, whom Professor Bahil was once classmates with. But if he were to learn Curses, then Simon could become the 2nd Nefthis. He realizes that Simon was content with his recent successes in Summoning and decided to change that opinion using the Duel Evaluations.

The duel brackets are released and Simon finds out his opponent is Haren Cork from Class G. Although Rick jokes that Simon's Combat Magic was enough to beat most students, Simon declares his intention of winning using only Summons. With that goal, Simon sneaks out to Rochest and buys 3 Vanilla brand Skeleton Archers. While on Rochest, Simon happens to see Professor Bahil strolling the streets as well.

While Simon completes his Skeleton Archers, Professor Bahil invited Simon's opponent, Haren to meet him in Rochest. There, the professor applies specialized black magic tattoos to his body. Drastically increasing Haren's combat prowess for the Duel Evaluations. In exchange for power, all Haren has to do is defeat Simon.

Simon arrives to class exhausted from making Skeleton Archers the night before and Meilyn gives him some medicine. Once Simon's focus returns, Team 7 discuss their opponents. For Simon, his opponent possesses a special family magic that can easily deflect long range attacks. Perfectly countering Simon's new archers. Despite his teammates encourage him to use a different strategy, Simon continues to pursue a victory as a summoner.

For the first time, team 7 experiences Simon's insanity as he continues to push himself. None of them were able to dissuade him and become anxious about his health. That evening, Professor Aaron returns from Kizen Headquarters and meets Simon who was waiting in front of his office. There, Simon asks the professor to review and evaluate the method Simon decided to use for the duel evaluation.

On the day of the Duel Evaluation, Team 7 sat in the observers area and watched as Simon began his duel with Haren. From the very beginning Haren displayed a level of power far surpassing all expectations and quickly assaulted Simon with spells and curses. Rather than fighting back, Simon remained on defense and was driven to the edge of the stadium.

Assuming his victory was certain, Haren continued pressuring Simon. In the stands, Professor Bahil encounters with Professor Aaron and talks about the reason that the Summoning professor discourages other students from majoring in Summoning. Proving it with Simon who was losing with summons. Professor Aaron proceeds to leave saying he didn't need to watch any more to know how it'll end.

From the beginning, Simon was only defending to focus on a new Summon he prepared. From outside the stadium, Simon's Mud Golem breaks inside and easily overwhelms Haren's enhanced abilities and defeats him.

Following Simon's victory, Rick's duel was against Legang Chopra. A fellow weapon enchantment user. Unfortunately for Legang, her multi-enchantment skill was perfectly countered by Rick who prepared a tool specifically against her. Through information warfare, Rick managed to hold a complete advantage against Legang and wins.

Meilyn proceeds to obtain an overwhelming victory against the Combat Magic Aspirant Ivan Varshani. Not only was her magic skills greater, but she had improved her Combat Magic drastically as well.

Finally, Camiberaz fought against Egir Atelier and won by paralyzing him and bit into his neck with her Vampire fangs.

Although they finished their first duel evaluation, the midterm exams were quickly arriving. Having put all his focus on Summoning, Simon discovered he had fallen behind in every other subject. So he prepares a study group with Meilyn, the classes top scorer and the other members of Team 7. Partway through the day, Nefthis surprises them by appear in person and helping herself to the study groups snacks. Meilyn and Camiberaz were oblivious to her identity and fed her all their treats.

After eating her fill, Nefthis takes Simon to Lorain's room and meets with her. Nefthis explains to Simon that they are currently looking for the Priest that he met in the Forbidden Forest. Then warns him that the priest is aware of Simon's identity. As proven by the autopsy done on the Cyclops Team 7 fought before being maliciously doped by someone. Although they want Simon to leave Kizen for protection, Simon refuses and continues to act as bait. Nefthis accepts his decision and gives him an artifact to use in the worse case scenario.

With their arrangements set, Nefthis teleports Simon back to his friends along with Lorain. There, she tries not to bother them but from Simon's coxing, the other three managed to converse comfortably with Lorain.

Before the midterm, Professor Jane announced a performance assessment to test and review everything they've learned. Almost like a mock test for the midterm. Team 7 worked together on the test by dividing their respective majors and felt their improvement since the beginning of the year. Once they complete the test, Rick reminds them they have another Duel Evaluation coming up.

During this duel, Simon fought against Poisonous Alchemy Aspirant Jessica Cananore. But during the entire match he was more focused on studying for the midterms then fighting. Even so, he managed to use his skeletons to deal with almost all of Jessica's attacks and uses the duel to review his knowledge on Poisonous Alchemy.

Finally, after suffering through the student exclusive hell of test season. The midterms were over. Once they were, Rick reveals that his information network has discovered that Kizen was preparing a large scale Island Survival Assessment.

### Island Survival (73-93)

The purpose of the Island Survival Assessment was to evaluate how students can act in a completely unknown and unfamiliar environment. This is done by dropping the remaining first-graders on a deserted island infested with monsters for 4 days. Everything from food to shelter has to be obtained on the island by students themselves. As most were nobles raised in cities, this was an extremely difficult assessment. But for Simon, who was raised in the mountains, he could only imagine how fun it will be.

To prepare for the assessment, team 7 asks for help from Professor Hong Feng who cooked them a meal made from monster meat before. Once they arrive, she has them go hunt down an invasive species called nustlelack monster for ingredients. Giving them both training in monster hunting and disassembly along side cooking. At the same time, Simon managed to win a bet against Brett, one of Professor Hong Feng's TA's. And will get him to do whatever he wanted one time.

Two days before the assessment, the Island Survival was officially announced to all the students. Professor Jane explained the rules and grading criteria of the assessment. Such as how to obtain points from monsters, failure conditions, and a safe zone at the center of the island. As well as inviting an outside lecturer to teach the students basic survival skills.

While reviewing the local flora and fauna of nearby islands, Simon discovered a photo containing information about Bigkrum, the Ancient Undead leader of the Giants and former captain of the 7th Legion. Accordingly, Simon begins a new survival evaluation, leading his corps on a mission to retrieve Bigkrum.

For Simon, who grew up in Lethhill—a country estate located in the mountains—surviving on an island was a walk in the park. Using his bet from Brett, he disguises Elizabeth as Brett and has her sneak Pier onto the island because his own subspace was checked before the beginning of the assessment. Using a combination of skill and unconventional methods, Simon quickly enters the center island and searches for Bigkrum.

Once he arrives, Simon encounters Meilyn who also made it into the center island. Despite the poor situation, Meilyn challenges Simon to learn which one of them was stronger. Before they could end their fight, Bigkrum appears shattering the entire area and in the chaos, Meilyn falls unconscious. Taking her to a safe place, Simon discovers an unusual feather stuck to her.

After settling in a cave to rest and recover, Meilyn wakes up and they share a meal. During which, Meilyn explains her past and why she is obsessed with becoming stronger. It was to reclaim her position as Successor of the Ivory Tower Lord from Serene Aindark, Kizen's Special Admission #2. Serene is the adopted daughter of the current Ivory Tower Lord and originally had no claim in succession. It was only because of her overwhelming talent and abilities that the laws of the tower were changed just for her.

Meanwhile, Haren, to get his revenge against Simon, obtained a tool from a mysterious being to completely dominate other students. Making Malcolm Randolph, Kizen's Special Admission #10, completely obedient to him.

The next day, Simon follows the traces of Bigkrum but was unable to locate him.

Instead, Ellen Zile, the expelled student from Efnel appeared on the Island. Confused, Simon follows her to a massacre of Kizen students. An insane sight of students being tortured and eliminated one after another. It was then that he met Serene Aindark, heir to the Ivory Tower.

Until that point, Simon had merely been cautious. However, when Serene began to reveal secrets about Simon and his legion—secrets that should never have been disclosed—Simon felt compelled to engage in a dialogue with her. With all of Simon's secrets in her hands, she threatens Simon to join the Ivory Tower.

From conversations he's had in the past with Rick, who understood more about the continent then him. Simon knew that within the Ivory Tower, there were two major factions. One that supported the current status and relationship with Kizen, mainly led by the Villenne family that Meilyn is from. Then the faction that wishes for independence from Kizen and returning the Ivory Tower to it's glory days during the era of Knights & Wizards. Which Serene and the current tower lord lead.

For that goal, Simon's 7th legion, which was once known throughout the world, as the strongest legion. Was potentially a major weapon for their ambition. If not, it would be one of their greatest obstacles. As a strong force who normally get's whatever she wants, Serene had no issue ordering Simon to chose death or submission. Simon cautioned Serene that her domineering approach would only create more enemies and that it wouldn't work on everyone.

Assuming he meant to defy her, Serene intends to kill Simon. But because she neutralized all of Kizen's monitoring methods, he used that freedom to deploy Pier and his legion directly into the fight. Although surprised to see Pier's appearance, Serene unfolds her own power. Not only did she have overwhelming talent and skill, but also her Supernatural Ability. Their fight reaches the point that the barrier around them is destroyed and Kizen's observers enter the scene. Forcing Simon to hide the legion and losing his only card against Serene.

Knowing she had the advantage, Serene uses her ability to create a feather and aims it at Simon. Through it, she can control parts of his thoughts and wills and commands him to follow misfortune until he is expelled from Kizen. That way, she can recruit him into the Ivory Tower without issue. Simon resists her command and as he fell into dire straits, the only student who can rival Serene appears.

Lorain Archbold, the daughter of Nefthis arrives on the scene to protect Simon. As the future leader of Kizen and the Successor of the Ivory Tower, Lorain and Serene stand on near equal ground and engage in a mind-boggling battle that surpasses the level of students.

Meanwhile, Simon locates Bigkrum who appears due to the fight between them. Attempting to placate him through Pier, Simon realized something was wrong: the Bigkrum before them was a carefully crafted fake, now going berserk.

Sensing the danger the fake Bigkrum posed to the students, Simon informed Lorain and request Serene to assist him, offering her a debt in return. Feeling that the idea was ridiculous, Serene intended to attack Lorain and Simon who were chasing after the fake Bigkrum but thought about what Simon told her earlier and hesitates.

Bigkrum's rampage on the island continues and starts harming students. Elizabeth, disguised as Brett, saves students while fighting off Bigkrum. She informs Kizen HQ about Bigkrum's abilities and retreats to meet with Simon. At which point, Lorain, Simon, and Serene, who decided to accept Simon's offer, begin fighting against Bigkrum's clone. Kizen HQ announces that any students who wish for it, can be teleported away from Bigkrum.

Because of Bigkrum's endless regenerative power, there was only one way to defeat him. Which was to use Pier's Sword of Destruction which prevented all forms of healing or regeneration. The problem was that only Pier could even lift the sword, making it impossible to use without revealing the existence of the Legion Marshall.

Simon's quick thinking and desperation fuse into creating an unusual solution which would allow Simon to temporarily wield the Sword of Destruction while most of Pier remains in the subspace. With a plan in place, Simon informs Lorain and Serene to support him and charges towards Bigkrum. With their help and Elizabeth's, Simon manages to climb Bigkrums body despite every obstacle in his way.

During the ensuing battle, Serene's perception of Simon changed. Impressed by his willpower and potential, she was exhilarated when Simon finally decapitated Bigkrum with the Great Sword of Destruction. At that moment, her evaluation of Simon changes. Where originally, only the 7th Legion was of importance. She now began to believe that the person named 'Simon Polentia' was far more valuable than the legion.

Exhausting all his stamina and jet-black after his final attack, Simon falls unconscious and descends onto the island. Using her power, Serene ensures he falls safely. But after he lands, Haren, who had been given mind-controlling feathers by Serene before the assessment, continues his hunt for Simon. Having the fortune to find him in a defenseless state after he lands.

Only to find Hector watching over Simon. Knowing that Hector also disliked Simon, Haren offered to take out Simon and give Hector all the credit and points. Which was when Hector turned and pummeled Haren into retreating. Lorain descended to Simon's side and Hector leaves without confronting the pair. Haren runs away and discovers Kajann and tries to use Serene's feathers to control him. But Kajann's special constitution was already immune to Serene's feathers and he proceeds to beat Haren off the island.

On the final day of the Island Survival Assessment, Meilyn and Camibarez reunited in the safe zone and were waiting for their other group members. One worry was that Elissa, the Special Admission #7, was standing guard to make sure anyone who entered the safe zone would have to pay with points to enter. Drastically increasing the score of her and her allies.

Her plans goes awry when an unexpected trio consisting of Simon, Lorain, and Serene, appear together. Although Elissa rallies her forces to fight them, Serene and Lorain easily bypass their defenses. Simon manages to progress by is stopped by Hector who challenges him. Camiberaz slows down Hector with her long range attack skills and Meilyn destroys one of Elissa's ghosts ships to stop them from preventing Simon's entry.

Although there was trouble inside the safe zone, with Meilyn realization that she was being controlled into fighting Simon and interrogating Simon for his entrance with Serene, and Malcom who knew she was controlling him through Haren and attempting to assault her, the test comes to an end. With Rick finally entering the safe zone at the very last second to score points.

After successfully completing the Island Survival evaluation, Serene reported the events to the Ivory Tower. Contrary to her original plan, she put the assassination plot against Simon on indefinite hold and began taking steps to win him over.

### Blue Harbor (94-105)

Once life settles back into classes. The Island Survival Assessment feels like a fleeting memory. Despite this, every student was reinvigorated with the desire to improve themselves for the next challenge.

Among them, Simon continues to have additional classes on skeleton restoration by Professor Aaron. In poisonous alchemy classes, the professor, Professor Lang, due to his deteriorating health has to give the lecture over to his assistant, Francesca. The TA who almost every student believes should become the real poisonous alchemy professor.

Not long after returning, it's the Mission Evaluation Period at Kizen once again. Giving Simon a chance to go search for more of his fathers Ancient Undead and earn money. But as he checks the missions, none of them appeal to either him or Pier. Remembering Professor Aaron's advise, Simon chooses not to take a mission immediately and waits.

Soon, Professor Jane calls for him and gives Simon a designated mission for Simon alone. A VIP bodyguarding mission to protect the count of Blue Harbor during an Undead Exhibition. While performing his duties, Professor Jane also has Simon write a report on the new trends emerging from Blue Harbor's Undead, which have mutated in a unique way due to the ecosystem there.

With Pier and Elizabeth as company, Simon goes to Blue Harbor and meets with the client. Who turns out to be a young child named Shun Oldwin.

Under his guidance, Simon visits the exhibition center. Because the island of Blue Harbor is far away from the mainland, the ecosystem there was unique compared to the rest of the continent. The dazzling display of Blue Harbor exclusive undead left Simon speechless. In a moment of carelessness, Simon lost track of Shun who was about to attacked by one of the undead displays.

Before Simon could rescue him, Blue Harbor's necromancer, Shun's maternal uncle, Pinch Nickiman saves him. Then reprimands Simon for being a failure of a guard. Pinch reveals a negative opinion towards Simon for being a Kizen student since he attending Alland, another Necromancer School. Due to the sense of inferiority of other necromancer schools, he tries to provoke Simon but was unable to shake him.

Pinch proceeds to lead Shun and Simon through the exhibit which displayed 200 special Blue Harbor undead. Among the undead, Simon noticed some of them weren't practical for a combat minded Necromancer like him. The only undead that caught his eye was the exhibition centerpiece. The Mollusca Undead Overlord. A one-of-a-kind undead made from a deep sea kraken.

That night, before the grand exhibition, goes on a beach date with Elizabeth. Afterwards Simon continues his training in the advance level skeleton restoration technique Bone Armor.

The next day, the mission officially begins. As Shun's guardian, Simon follows him during the exhibition banquet. The first thing they do is greet guests and visitors to the island. The formalities and etiquette are different in different regions of the Dark Alliance. But Simon had been strictly educated by Richard and performed his duties perfectly.

Elsewhere, Pinch leaves the banquet and contacts a band of pirates he hired. They guarantee that they'll kill everyone in the Oldwin family in exchange for Blue Harbor.

The following events, for the next two days proceed without incident. On the morning of the fourth day, Pinch's pirates make landfall on Blue Harbor and quickly start invading the land. With Pinch's preparation in place, the pirates easily begin taking over several key points of Blue Harbor's defenses.

With the situation growing worse, Shun orders Simon to defend Blue Harbor and its citizens. With his permission, Simon head straight to the Pirate Captain to defeat him. Along the way, pirates who are plundering the citizens of Blue Harbor are wreaking havoc. In response, Simon summons his conscription skeletons and use them to create Bone Armor on the Blue Harbor citizens.

With the physical enhancement power of the Bone Armor, citizens around Blue Harbor were given the power to fight back against the pirates. Quickly overwhelming their invaders with the power of Simon's legion helping them.

Once they arrive at the port, the pirate Captain Guile enters the fight. Even though he wasn't a necromancer, he managed to fight back against the Bone Armor enhanced citizens due to being an Aura user. Like the knights of old, Captain Guile used aura to enhance his physical power and swordsmanship and fight Simon head on. Through the use of various tactics and finally poisoning him, Simon managed to defeat Captain Guile. During the fight, the pirate captain revealed the existence of a traitor within Blue Harbor.

After defeating Guile, Simon interrogated the remaining pirates and they revealed it was Pinch who collaborated with them. Armed with new knowledge and revelation, Simon quickly returns to the mansion. He arrives just as pirates were attacking the Count and his guards and manages to save them from the assault of Vice-Captain Valdez.

In the chaos, Pinch arrives to defeat Valdez. But then he holds Shun hostage and kidnaps him. Taking the Count to one of the Pirate ships and turns the dead pirates into undead to operate the boat. When Shun asks why he was doing all this, Pinch tells him the truth.

Pinch reveals that he was once a young necromancer genius at Blue Harbor. So the Count at the time married his sister so they would establish ties. But when Pinch failed to get into Kizen, his reputation and worth fell dramatically. Pinch continued to try and transfer to Kizen, but was denied entry.

Because of that, his sisters life in the Oldwin manor grew worse and worse under the abuse of the Count. Eventually, by the time he graduated Alland Necromancer School, his sister had committed suicide. Discovering the truth, Pinch killed the Oldwin Count with poison and became Shun's guardian. Once Shun is dead and he kills all other witnesses, Blue Harbor will belong to him alone.

As Pinch made off with the Count, another pirate ship, headed by Elizabeth disguised as Captain Guile attacked him. With several pirates under her command, Elizabeth holds off Pinch. But against a professional Necromancer, the pirates were quickly defeated. Pinch also discovered that Guile was in fact a disguised undead and used an anti-undead poison on her.

As their fight began, another ship intervened and crashed into the two ships. On it was Simon and Pier who hijacked the ship. Since Pinch had already released the anti-undead poison into the fog, Pier couldn't directly fight against him. With no other choice, Pier tells Simon to cast Bone Armor using his own body.

Successfully wearing the Ancient Undead on the first try, Simon wields the Great Sword of Destruction against Pinch. Against Simon wearing Pier, Pinch uses his last resort. A sacrificial spell that fused Pinch's body with an adult Kraken and summoned it to attack Simon and his group.

Outmatched, Simon was driven into the sea where Pinch and the Kraken held dominance. Pier teaches Simon how to cut through dimensions and target only the enemy regardless of things like distance. Fusing with Pier's thoughts, Simon manages to reproduce the attack and divided the Kraken in half.

Simon wakes up the next day to find out the entire situation has been resolved with Pinch's death. Although there was heavy damage to the infrastructure of the island, the people were all safe and it could be repaired.

With the case resolved and the mission nearing completion, Simon leaves Blue Harbor under the cheers of its residences. Shun gives Simon an additional commission reward in the form of the Oldwin family's prided undead. The Mollusca Undead Overlord.

### Fun and Friendly Club Season (106-120)

With his success at Blue Harbor, Simon returns to Kizen with more than just a passing grade and monetary reward. But with the new Overlord in his subspace. As Simon couldn't wait to begin training in using the Overlord, he is greeted with a unique sight.

Kizen's upperclassmen, usually figures of pride and prestige, were all scattered around the first-year campus square and appealing to first-year students to join their clubs. Simon returned just in time for Kizen's famous club season to begin.

Among the clubs that start fighting over Simon, three notable club representatives appear. The Curse Research Society, Saddam, the Blood Research Society, and Noble, a club made up of high-nobles across the continent all invite Simon to their clubs.

Simon didn't accept any offers from the clubs and ran off as fast as he could. His sole focus was on the overlord and headed towards Pier's ruins to test it out. After a quick test run, they realize that despite it's speed and attack power, the Overlord, originally being a mollusk type monster and forcefully turned into a skeletal undead, was extremely fragile. It's main body would be destroyed by even the weakest attack from other necromancers.

Simon came up with an idea to leave the main body inside his subspace. Only taking out the tentacles to use in combat. This solution had a drawback that their thoughts were disconnected while the Overlord was in the subspace. Making accurate controls impossible.

Once the club invitation period began to cool down, Simon returned to the school. Along the way, one last club scout handed him a flyer for the summoning club, the Special Undead Research Society, Mutant, and walked off without many offers or recruitment pitch.

Team 7 meet up in an empty classroom to talk about Kizen's club season. Camibarez decided to join Saddam to further her studies into Hemomancy. Meilyn entered the Pure Magic Research Society that studies the magic used before the age of Necromancers. Rick on the other hand made his own club, the Rochest-Start-Up Support Association.

Simon wasn't interested in entering a club, but decided to try visiting Mutant. There he ran into the Kizen Second-Year and Special Admission #5, Benya Vanilla. The leader of the club and granddaughter of the huge Vanilla Corporation.

Like Simon, two other First-Year students came to join. Fitzgerald and Toto. Fellow Summoning Aspirants, arrive to evaluate the club.

Benya introduces herself and declares her ambition of world domination. Inspiring Fitzgerald to join and mesmerizing Toto. Despite his initial doubts, Simon also ends up joining the club.

Entrance into the club requires the applicants to possess some type of unique undead. Simon uses the one-of-a-kind Overlord and enters without difficulty.

After returning from their missions, Kizen announces the next round of duel evaluations. This time, Simon was up against the Special Admission #10. Malcolm Randolph. A skilled student who managed to become a top ten entrant purely through his own skill. According to Rick, upperclassmen seem to believe Malcom has a far more likely chance of winning as well.

Back at Mutant, after revealing the weaknesses of the Overlord, Benya suggests that Simon goes and meets Gelen Eclipse. A Subspace artisan who works with the Vanilla Group. They go and meet him and have a special, dedicated subspace crafted purely for the Overlord.

With everything starting to go well for Simon, a corpse spider appears before him and warns him that the priest appeared in the Forbidden Forest.

Elizabeth tries to by time by disguising herself and speaking with the priest. Only for the priest to immediately attack her. Although she was an Ancient Undead, her powers were directly tied to Simon, who was still a new Commander and was pinned down by the priest.

Simon arrives and fights against the priest by wearing Pier. Nimbly changing the portions of his body protected by Pier's bones, Simon gains the upper hand against the Priest and summons the Great Sword of Destruction. With the help of Elizabeth and the Overlord, Simon corners the priest.

Once he realized that defeat was certain, the priest revealed himself as Kajann Edvalt, Simon's roommate. Rather than the priest, Kajann is an agent dispatched by Nefthis to hunt the Priest. Which is why he attacked Elizabeth who was disguised as one. Since they had a common enemy, the two joined together as allies.

With the problem of a priest remaining at large, Simon returns to his everyday life. With the goal of mastering the Overlord before his next duel evaluation. A problem appeared that he didn't have any clue about how to train with the unique undead. He immediately enlists the help of Professor Aaron and shows him the mollusk undead and receives intense training with it.

Feeling competitive, Pier proceeds to teach Simon more on undead operation from the view of an undead himself. With two teachers, Simon's undead control skills skyrocket.

As Simon settles into life at the Mutant club, his duel opponent is summoned by the Andre, the prince of Dresden to Noble. One of the clubs Simon rejected before.

Malcolm is the son of a gang leader. A person who is normally unqualified to enter Noble, a club of elite aristocrats, royals, or other individuals of considerable influence. He was invited to join with the sole condition of humiliating Simon in their duel. To ensure his victory, Andre gave Malcolm the armor of the Black Knight. The symbol of Dresden's elite force.

The day of the duel arrives. Visitors from outside of Kizen all come to watch the duel. Including Princess Mollie, the younger sister of Andre. Spectators fill the usually quiet duel hall for the match between two special admission students.

Feeling the pressure, Rick and Camiberaz both encourage Simon with Meilyn watching from outside.

The duel between Simon and Malcolm begin with him immediately casting his signature magic. Doppelganger. A magic spell that can create vast numbers of clones to overwhelm his opponent with pure numbers.

Unfortunately, Simon possessed the Overlord. Fitted with it's new dedicated subspace, and easily began sweeping past dozen's of Malcolm clones. Since Malcolm couldn't overcome the power of the Overlord, he decided to use his gangs specially made explosive bombs to try and defeat Simon. But was countered and thrown out of his Magic Circle, sealing Doppelganger away.

Angry that his main weapon was taken away from him, Malcolm uses the Armor of the Black Knights and announces that Andre was supporting him. In response, Simon uses Bone Armor to compete against Malcolm's armor.

The two engage in a fist fight but it quickly became clear that the Black Armor had more advantages for the duel than his Bone Armor. So Simon changed his plans and started attaching his Bone Armor to Malcolm. Once enough bones were attached to Malcolm, Simon was able to control them remotely and sealed Malcolm's movements at key moments.

Afraid of defeat, Malcolm attempts a suicide move with his explosive bombs. Confident that his Black Armor will protect him. Simon reads his actions and throws Malcolm at the ceiling to safely detonate. Achieving victory by one-sidedly slashing the descending Malcolm.

Embarrassed and enraged, Andre appears before Simon accusing him of lese majeste. Princess Mollie appears and stops Andre. She reveals all his crimes and informs him that she'll have to inform their father and Nefthis about this matter. Virtually ending Andre's life at Kizen.

### Death Lands (121-134)

As a performance assessment by Professor Aaron, Class A heads to the fallen ruins of the Talheren Empire. Now known as the paradise of Zombies, the Death Lands. The assignment is fairly simple, which was to find a corpse somewhere in the city and turn it into a Zombie. Thanks to the particular nature of the Death Land, the dead don't decompose making it perfect to find corpses.

Although the dark and eerie atmosphere is terrifying, Team 7 warily enters the Death Lands in search of a usable corpse. As they search the zombie infested city for materials, they were attacked by a zombie horde.

Running for their lives across the city, Meilyn notices that there was something strange about the zombies. It was as if they were laying in wait to ambush them ahead of time and leading them towards a choke point.

In the distance, a young boy wearing a crown was watching them desperately escape from the zombie horde. His identity is the Ancient Undead, Prince. Who possessed the ability to rule over all Zombies. As well as a former member of the 7th Legion who intends to destroy the new commander and Pier to end the legion once and for all.

Team 7 manage to escape into the sewers to evade the zombies. Because the outskirts have most likely been cleaned of corpses, they decide to head deeper into the Death Lands.

Once they surface, they arrive in the clean and beautiful garden of a noble's mansion. There, they find their first corpse free of decomposition. It was the body of a maid who most likely worked in the mansion. Saddened by the lost of life but invoking their nature as Necromancers, the group tries to look at things practically and search for a better corpse.

They settled on a powerful looking guardsman and begin the spell to raise a corpse as a Zombie. While everyone hesitated on directly dealing with a real dead human body, Simon steps forward to perform the spell on his own. But as he prepared the magic circle, the others joined in and they summon the Zombie together.

With a complete zombie, they head back to the campsite to be graded. Their journey was interrupted when another zombie horde invades the mansions they were in, forcing the group to run for their lives once again.

More certain that this was the work of Prince, Simon summons Pier and his legion when he was out of view of his friends. Pretending to be native undeads, Pier is free to go on a rampage destroying zombies. Giving them the change to duck back into the sewer.

Outside of their expectations, Prince was waiting for them inside the sewer. Using a corpse releasing toxic gas, everybody but Simon was knocked out. Although he got rid of the corpse, Simon was forced to fight Prince alone.

Against an Ancient Undead, Simon had no chance. Prince's near invulnerability and superhuman strength easily broke through all of Simon's summons. He states that after Richard abandoned them, he would destroy the Legion and rule the Death Lands. Free of the influence of a necromancer.

With Simon's neck in his hands, Prince was about to do just that. Only for the other members of Team 7 to wake up and save Simon at the last moment. Thinking they might have a chance together, Prince dismisses his hope and easily defeats all his teammates. But they bought enough time for Pier to appear and attach himself to Simon as Bone Armor.

From all the accumulated damage Prince has sustained the entire fight, Simon and Pier instantly cut off his head. Which was when Prince's second power manifested and he transferred his consciousness into a nearby zombie. Transforming it into a perfectly healthy Prince. After realizing that fighting the pair may be trouble, Prince kidnaps Meilyn and escapes.

With Camibarez and Rick under attack from the remaining Zombies, Simon has no choice but to save them first. Once they were safe, Simon was going to chase after Prince but stopped by Pier who informed him of some suspicious humans instead.

With Meilyn in hand, Prince returns to his mansion where the human Necromancer, Javier was waiting. Javier was a death merchant who often traded with Prince. Taking corpses from the Death Land in exchange for high-purity obsidian. Javier noticed Meilyn and asked to buy her. With no reason not to, Prince made the deal.

Javier takes Meylin away. In his carriage, Meilyn wakes up in a panic when she discovers she was kidnapped. She announces her identity as both a Kizen student and from the Ivory Tower but Javier doesn't care and plans on killing Meilyn regardless. Understanding her situation, Meilyn fights back, kicking the man, biting off a finger, and even headbutting him. But fails to escape the carriage with her Jet-Black sealed.

A Great Sword breaks through the ceiling Meilyn was trying to escape. Entering the carriage, Simon wearing Pier sees Meylin tied up and proceeds to beat Javier with the type of brutality that should've killed him a dozen times over. Once he was done, Simon dropped the bleeding body of Javier outside for the carriage to run him over.

Meilyn was not able to recognize Simon with Pier's Bone Armor on him. All she could feel was the rage and bloodlust emanating from the mysterious assailant. Simon takes Meilyn and leaves the carriage, landing near Javier's mangled, but living body.

Although Javier had decades of experience as a professional necromancer, his most powerful summons were currently away and everything he had with him were easily destroyed by the 7th Commander's overwhelming strength.

Taking Meilyn back to where Rick and Camiberaz were, Simon unties her bonds. Without recognizing him, Meilyn tries to thank him but Simon just told her to get her friends and leave while establishing an alibi for himself. Without knowing what else she can learn about him, Meilyn begs to learn his name.

This was the day the name of 'Pion' came into the world.

Running away in embarrassment, Simon wonders to himself what he had just done. After he calms down, he takes the time to assess the new situation around Prince.

In the Death Lands, there were two rival factions. The zombie faction led by Prince, and the skeleton faction led by the now undead Sword Master of the Talheren Empire, Manus. In the background, Javier was manipulating both of them into war to reap the rewards all for himself. With Meilyn and his friends safe, Simon was free to head towards Prince as the war for the Death Lands began.

As the war waged on, Prince saw that Manus had new anti-zombie undead monsters on his side. Giving Manus a significant advantage in the war. On the skeletons side, Javier, having barely escaped from Simon while his undead bought time, arrives and heals himself using his subordinates as sacrifices.

Knowing his forces were at a disadvantage, Prince personally intervenes to destroy the Anti-Undead Meat Golems. He easily destroys one and moves on to the second when he was killed. Reviving in a new body, Prince target's the one who killed him. Manus himself. They fought and Manus proved that he's developed his skills enough to surpass Prince. With Javier's support, another one of Princes lives were lost.

Having only nine lives in total, Prince now had six. Infuriated by everything getting worse and worse, Prince quickly runs out of options. The situation for him only gets worse when Simon enters the mansion and arrives at the hall where Prince's true body was located.

Fighting against the enraged Prince wearing Pier, Simon was able to pin Prince to the wall and immobilize him. Using the chance, Simon runs to Prince's true body and injects his Jet-Black into Prince's core. Returning Prince to the 7th Legion.

Simon and Pier celebrate the return of Prince as the zombie in question screams in anger. Due to Simon forcefully contracting him, Prince's link with all the Zombies was broken. Throwing the battlefield into a mess.

The source of Prince's power was his 'Crown'. An artifact that grant's it's user the power to command any and all Zombies. Even ones who haven't been conscripted. It was the artifact that Javier was after. Even Prince, the owner and Ancient Undead uses it, he is forced to remain in a near vegetative state and has to possess other Zombies to move.

Understanding the problem, Simon takes Prince's crown and tries it on. With the cries and thoughts of ten's of thousands of undead echoing in his head, Simon quickly falls. Prince mock's him as he tries and fails again. With confidence, Simon takes the crown and heads out. Knowing if Simon dies, he would as well, Prince demands Pier to stop him. Pier simply laughs off Prince's concerns.

In the battlefield, the Zombie's have lost their commander and fall into disorder. Manus and Javier then sees Simon walk out onto the mansions terrace holding the crown and puts it on. Through sheer force of will, Simon manages to maintain his sense of being and forcefully conscripts all the Zombies on the battlefield with a degree of power that Prince has never been able to obtain.

Entering the battle with a wave of zombies guiding him. Simon's zombie flood crashes into one Meat Golem after another and were quickly destroyed by the Great Sword of Destruction. Until they were all gone.

Knowing that Javier was always planning on betraying him. Manus decides to Javier now that the Meat Golems have been defeated. He approaches Simon and orders him to hand over the crown for the sake of his revenge.

Facing the Sword Master, Simon refuses. He says that Manus's revenge was pointless since it has no chance of success. All Manus would accomplish is a bit of destruction and genocide of millions of people who descended from the Empire's citizens. When all manner of negotiation failed, the final battle for the Death Lands began.

Using the power of the crown, Simon summons a huge swarm of zombies from all across Death Lands and concentrates them on Manus. Despite Manus's overwhelming strength and swordsmanship, he was buried beneath a mountain of zombies.

To finish him off, Simon enters a state of extreme concentration. He exceeds the knowledge he had and reaches the surface of Compello. In this state while he was connected with Prince's crown, Simon casts a spell he had no way of knowing. The ultimate spell among Zombie users, Corpse Explosion.

When Simon wakes up, Pier reveals he passed out from using the crowns power. Which was now back in Prince's possession. After witnessing his power, Prince also decides he had no choice but to stop struggling and return to the legion. He gives Simon a ring that can be used to summon him into the body of any zombie on the continent.

With the business of the legion taken care of, Simon asks Prince if he could use any corpses in the mansion for his performance assessment and goes back to the camp.

At the camp, Meilyn is impatiently waiting for Simon's return. The other two heard from her that Pion had saved them and that Simon was also safe. The two have doubts but Meilyn assures them that Pion could be trusted. Camibarez theorizes that Pion could be Simon. A claim Meilyn absolutely rejects.

Simon returns with the corpse of a White Oni that they use to make an A+ worthy Zombie. Once everyone in the class returned, Aaron reveals that zombies made from Death Land corpses had a much higher aggression when they leave the Death Lands and confiscates their zombies for safety reasons.

With their zombies, Aaron casts Corpse Explosion on the zombies and tells the students that if they thought the scene was beautiful, they have taken one more step towards becoming true necromancers.

### Kizen's Dodge(less) Ball Game (135-141)

Returning from the Death Lands, Class A is met with a new trial of having Professor Hong Feng's class the very next day. This was a combined class with Class C who went to the Death Lands a few days prior.

The class begins with students pairing up from both classes to perform stretches. With Serene's intervention, she and Simon are paired together. During their stretch, Serene attempts to recruit Simon to the Ivory Tower. Going as far to say she'll marry him to give Simon the chair of Lord of the Ivory Tower.

Simon rejects the offer thinking he'll just end up as some puppet lord for Serene. In response, Serene get's mad since the main point of the offer wasn't the position of Lord of Ivory Tower, but instead to marry herself.

During their conversation, Serene feels liberated for having a free conversation with someone she approves off. Without having to control the other partner to just do whatever she wants.

In the following excersise, Professor Hong Feng keeps the students paired up to practice a new skill. As he practices, Simon hits a wall due to the difficulty. Serene helps Simon by using a sensory enhancement feather on him, similar to what Bahil did to Simon before. In that way, he learns how to use the skill.

In the followup lesson, Professor Hong Feng introduces a class vs class ball game. The rules were similar to dodge ball except the ball was enchanted with magic that made it impossible to miss.

In the first game, Meilyn's team fought directly against Serene's team. With a combination of Rick's enchantments and Meilyn's Dark Flare, they were able to start eliminating Class C's students. Serene steps up to fight Meilyn, where Meilyn reveals that she has started using her original specialty, Ice Magic. Due to a minor slip, Serene was knocked out and Meilyn was eliminated due to violation of the rules.

In the next match, Class C manages to win against Class A making their score even. In the final round, both Hector and Simon participated as part of Class A. Their presence vastly pressured the opposing team who poured all their jet-black into a student who possessed the special spell of reflection. Sending all their attacks right back at them.

Hector used this chance to throw the ball at Simon rather than Class C. In response, Simon did almost the same thing and returned the power of Hector's ball straight back at him.

Their semi-duel escalates until the reflector's caster couldn't handle the sheer strength of the two and had his spell forcibly destroyed by brute force. Ending the game with Class A's victory.

### Attack of the Saintess (142-158)

Life continues at Kizen as the first semester is nearing its end. Most of the students have already gotten used to Kizen life and were prepating for the semester final and the vacation that followed.

Before the end, Simon and Kajann meet to update each other on their investigation into the identity of the Priest. But neither of them have made any real progress. So they'll continue their investigation after the vacation.

Weeks away from the end of the first semester, a depressing revelation spread across the campus. Which was that the first-year professor in Poisonous Alchemy, Professor Lang Strauss, has died.

With the death of a famous professor, Kizen fell into a state of mourning. The ceremonial funeral, the Night of Erebus was announced to honor Professor Lang. Where all the professors and other notable necromancers and figures gather in the Mausoleum.

Professor Lang left in his will that classes should remain ongoing and that he would like to name his chief assistant, Francesca the new professor of Poisonous Alchemy. Following his wishes, Francesca became the new professor and began teaching class in his stead. Choosing not to attend the funeral to honor the late professor.

After class, Simon and Camibarez prepare for Hemomancy class. On the way, Camibarez asks Simon about his opinion on a problem her clubmates at Saddam are having. Where a couple suddenly emerges from a group of friends.

Simon says it will be hard for things to remain the same and that peoples emotions and priorities would naturally change. Leaving Camibarez dishearten. When she realizes she left a notebook back in a cafe, she runs back to get it. Leaving Simon alone to reminisce on the last semester he's had at school.

However, Simon felt a looming sense of dread when he notices Kizen's protective barrier being deployed in the sky. The eerie sense of foreboding creeps up Simon's spine until an explosion suddenly shakes through the entire first-year campus.

In a state of panic, Simon get's his bearings and runs towards the explosion where he knew Camibarez had gone to earlier. Three more explosions go off all across the campus.

He arrives to the location of the first explosion and finds Camibarez mortally wounded. He was trying to figure out a way to escape Kizen when he was mortally wounded by Francesca Velmond, who was revealed to be the priest from the Forbidden Forest. Francesca aimed to eliminate Simon and Camibarez to protect her secret identity. As well as commit a terrorist act against Kizen by killing their entire first-year class.

As he laid dying with Camibarez in his arms, Simon was enveloped in darkness. Within the void, he heard the ticking of a clock and met a figure with silver hair who casts a spell on him.

When he regained consciousness, Simon found himself back in time, attending Francesca's Poisonous Alchemy class. His panic and adrenaline pump like mad and nearly drive him into an impulsive decision. He forces himself to remain calm and analyze the situation. He notices the artifact Nefthis gave him was now broken and realizes she must've somehow saved him.

Knowing that he wasn't a match for Francesca, Simon could only warn Camibarez to evacuate the school as quickly as possible. Begging her to seek refuge somewhere safe.

Following Francesca in secret, Simon watches her enter the basement of the Poisonous Alchemy building where certain extremely dangerous materials were stored. Most likely where she obtained the explosive devices. Before she discovered Simon, he was taken into the shadows by Kajann. Nefthis's agent who reveals that he was given a second mission to protect Simon. Showing that he had an artifact linked to Simon's.

Within the barrier, they couldn't escape or contact the outside world for help. It was a plan to completely destroy an entire generation of necromancers. Not to mention most of them were from prestigious families.

Ignoring Simon's warnings to evacuate, Camibarez brings Meilyn and Rick over to Simon. They declare that despite the dangers, they wanted to join them to defend Kizen. Moving Simon's heart.

After hearing Simon's unbelievable story of Professor Francesca's attack, they immediately move to stop the explosions. Kajann deduces that the explosions were caused by a type of curse bomb called the Desolators. A device that could be easily disabled if placed inside a subspace.

While the other three split up to find the Desolators and Kajann watches the basement where Francesca was. Simon goes up to Professor Lang's old laboratory. There, he finds Professor Lang's diary. Revealing the truth of Francesca and her plan. About how she drugged him and was slowly killing him. As well as her affiliation with Efnel. With evidence in hand, Simon changes a part of his plan.

Francesca didn't leave the Desolators unattended. She left plant-type monsters to guard each one. Camibarez discovered one of the bombs and was trying to reach it but was consuming her stamina with Hemomancy Magic. As she was fighting, Simon rushed to her and moved her away from the Desolator. He gives her the diary and asks her to take it to the professors. Because that was the only way they would survive.

After Camibarez runs off, Simon summons Prince to deal with the plant monster and Desolator before meeting up with Pier and Elizabeth and heading back to Kajann.

Meilyn and Rick both disable their own Desolators at their locations and alert Kajann through their remote communication devices. At the final location, Prince had arrived and destroyed the final Plant monster. He then takes Toto's subspace and put's the desolator in there.

Simon, the 7th Legion, and Kajann enter the basement after all of the Desolators have been delt with. Not sitting around, Meilyn and Rick decide to alert the whole school about the looming terrorist attack.

With the Desolator’s disabled, Simon, Kajann, and the Legion are free to enter the restricted hazardous containment room. Once they were inside, they set off a series of traps but quickly discover that Priest Francesca has already escaped. In her possession was the extremely dangerous item, Prima Materia.

Since Prince already took care of the final Desolator, Meilyn and Rick reunite with their own respective victories. Meilyn doesn’t relax and decides they should alert the entire school about the presence of the Priest and to evacuate.

On the way to the communication room, Rick falls under the charm of a woman and opens his heart.

With Professor Lang’s diary in hand, Camibarez runs to the Mausoleum. But hits the barrier deployed around the first-year campus. Despite her best efforts, Camibarez was unable to escape a barrier that was designed to stop even full-fledged Kizen Professors from returning. Out of options, Camibarez unseals the full power of her Vampire bloodline. A power that was sealed to preserve her own life. With it, she barely managed to escape and begins flying straight for the Mausoleum.

Chasing after Francesca, Kajann explains that Prima Materia is an item capable of creating an endless number of monsters. The best place to use it would be at the Kizen Command Post where she could deploy the monsters using Kizen’s own barrier system.

They confirm they were in the correct location because Francesca had released tree-like monsters to protect the entrance. Charging inside, Elizabeth forces open a path to allow them inside while she takes care of the monsters.

Simon wearing Pier, and Kajann enter the command post and find a bloodbath. All of Kizen’s guards had already been slaughter with only Francesca left. Simon questions her as to why she was doing this even after spending more than 3 years among Kizen students. Her response cuts off any last remorse and hesitation Simon has for the ex-professor.

Francesca decides to detonate the Desolators. But when nothing happened, she revealed an opening for Simon and Kajann to attack. Although she easily dealt with it, Francesca became confused about how they were able to easily disable the bombs she only just installed.

A fight between them commences. Despite being the Poisonous Alchemy professor, Francesca didn’t use poisons to fight but instead shot crosses made of Jet-Black at the duo. Kajann had already exceeded the level of a student and Simon’s abilities were enhanced by Pier. Allowing them to fight nearly evenly with her.

As damage begins to accumulate, the Priest decides to abandon Francesca. Her body burns with divinity and transforms. Revealing herself as Flema, on of the Seven Saintess of the Holy Federation. A being described as a Demigod who walks the earth with the Goddess’s greatest power.

One of her powers was to possess another person. With this power, she possessed the original Francesca and infiltrated Kizen. No one was even the least bit suspicious, she even fooled Nefthis herself. Even though Simon and Kajann stand in her way, they were unable to fight against the White Flames of Purification which burn all evil things and heals her own wounds.

Without the power to stop her, Flema easily accesses the barrier system and activates the Prima Materia. Unleashing countless monsters made from Divinity all over the first-year campus.

Just as she does so, an announcement comes over the broadcasting system. Meilyn, who managed to take over the communications room by force, released an announcement to everyone in the campus that a priest infiltrated Kizen. Just in time as the monster of the Prima Materia began descending on the campus.

With Meilyn’s advance warning, the Kizen students, who have been thrown into one disaster after another, quickly fortify themselves to defend against the monsters. The top ten Special Admission students and Teacher Assistants defend from the forefront.

Along with the secret assistance of Prince who was wearing Toto’s uniform.

Back at the control room, while watching the chaos unfolding, Flema easily dealt with the attacks of Simon and Kajann. Although the students were putting up a good resistance, as long as the Prima Materia was active, monsters will continue to pour out and eventually kill everyone.

To protect her top-priority recruitment target and gain a few favor coupons, Serene arrived to help Simon. Her supernatural ability allowed her a degree of resistance against Flema’s White Flame’s. Although barely, Serene was able to fight against Flema for a period of time.

But even that wasn’t enough against a Saintess and Serene was pushed back. Trying to help her, Simon charged at Flema again and again despite being burned by the White Flame’s of Purification. Burning him to the point where he could barely walk.

Serene released her full power on Flema. Distracting the Saintess long enough for Simon to charge at her. Like countless times before, Flema released a wave of White Flame to burn Simon. Only this time, he managed to break through and inflict a fatal wound on her back with the Great Sword of Destruction.

The truth was, rather than being hurt by the White Flame, Simon began adapting to the flame. At first it hurt, but over time, the flames started to heal his wounds rather than harming him. Unknowingly, Simon’s body began to mutate and adapt to the presence of Divinity just like a priest.

He faked being hurt every time he got hit by the flames to lower Flema’s guard. Once Serene gave him an opening, Simon managed to critically harm her. The shock of an impossible existence made Flema panic even more than being wounded. In her rage, she unleashed the full power of the White Flame on Simon.

Bathed in the flames of purification, an absolute force of destruction for a Necromancer, Simon calls out to Pier. Commanding the Ancient Undead to follow him once again. Together with Simon, they evolved together and came out of the White Flame as the never before seen existence.

A Holy Undead.

Now immune to Divinity, an undead’s greatest weakness, Simon wore Pier to cut through Flema’s stomach.

Not understanding the situation, Flema tries to run. Simon chases after her with Serene’s help through the ceiling and into the sky. Flema relentlessly drops bombs made of divine fire onto Simon but he cuts through all of them in his pursuit.

Accepting that Simon couldn’t be burned, Flema tried to use physical force through her spells. Using this opening provided by Flema’s lack of composure, he unleashed a great slash that cut Flema in two. Before she could fully heal from the wound, Simon threw his sword and cut off her arm.

Out of energy, Simon fell to the ground where Serene caught him. Returning to Serene and Kajann, Simon barely managed to stay awake.

Flema, having barely survived Simon’s final attack, becomes enlightened. She believes that the reason she infiltrated Kizen wasn’t to kill the students. But it was a divine mission from the Goddess was purely to kill Simon. A necromancer who is immune to Divinity.

She transforms into a mass of divinity to become an avatar of the goddess made from celestial metal. To follow through with the order of the Goddess, she executed the Executioner Mode that burns her own lifeforce to achieve great power. With all her might, Flema finishes the trio in her attack.

At the Mausoleum, Professor Aaron was taking a rest in one of the nearby rooms. As he rested, Professor Hong Feng joined him. Their conversation topic was on their students. More specifically, Simon. That was when Professor Bahil joined the conversation and declared he wanted to make Simon his disciple as well.

After Professor Silage joined the conversation, they each thought about what makes Simon great. Each with their own opinions. But Professor Bahil reveals that its Simon’s madness that allows him to triumph over adversity. He shares that Simon has begun to reach the state of Compello. A legendary state known as the realm of absolute truth.

He argues with Professor Silage about make the most of Simon’s talents. They’re interrupted when Camiberaz stumbles into the Mausoleum carrying Professor Lang’s diary.

Nefthis receives the diary from Camibarez and reads it together with other faculty members. Having enough, Nefthis reassures Camiberaz saying that everything would be fine. She briefly unleashes her rage before taking Professor Jane, Professor Aaron, Professor Hong Feng, and Professor Bahil with her and heading straight back to Kizen. Making it back just in time to block Flema’s desperate attack fueled by her own lifeforce.

Scattering across the campus, the four professors all work to save the students. Easily rescuing students and annihilating the Prima Materia monsters. Thanks to Meilyn’s broadcast and the resilience of the defending students, there were no casualties among them.

Flema, the Saintess of Purification couldn’t understand Nefthis’s appearance. Her barrier was strong enough that even the Witch of Death wouldn’t be able to simply break through. A truth that Nefthis reveals in how she had to sacrifice ten years to break through.

Before the absolute power of the Witch of Death, forget about fighting. Flema, one of the seven Saintess’s, couldn’t even resist. Because of her White Flames constantly healing her, Flema could survive even the most gruesome methods Nefthis used to murder her. Over and over again, Flema was killed. Unable to escape even with all her abilities.

Abandoning Francesca’s body, Flema tried to escape as a soul. But against the headmaster of a school of Necromancers, her choice ultimately left her vulnerable to a true death at the hands of Nefthis.

In the aftermath of the Saintess Terrorism Attack, Simon found himself in Kizen’s hospital ward. Taking care of him was Lorain, who came back from the Mausoleum with everyone else. She explained to Simon what happened after Nefthis killed the Saintess.

In short, an uneasy peace settled into Kizen. Although there were fatalities, this was an unprecedented act from Efnel that threatened to shatter the Dark Alliance. With many now calling for war in retaliation.

Simon is worried that war might truly occur. Lorain directs his attention to Nefthis who enters Simon’s ward and eats his fruit.

Under his question, Nefthis can’t say for sure. Only promising that Efnel will pay a price.

She also explains that what makes a Saintess so powerful is the Essence of the Saintess. So even if you kill one, the essence will simply return to Efnel and chose a new Saintess. So even though Flema was killed, a new Saintess of Purification will appear.

Nefthis also tells Simon that due to the accident, Kizen will take an early holiday. But warns him that the second semester will be much harsher than usual.

Finishing their conversation, Nefthis leaves the ward. Saying that she was taking a trip to the Holy Federation.

As promised, Nefthis appears on the Sky Island of Efnel and launches an attack. Under the protection of the Pope, the students were able to evacuate and the Sky Island remained intact. But most of the buildings were devastated and reduced to rubble. With the damage done and Nefthis leaving, the Pope herself stopped anyone else from escalating the situation. Putting the two powers at an uneasy state that wasn’t yet war.

In the Dark Alliance, thanks to Nefthis’s actions, the call for war had been greatly reduced. In Kizen, within the damaged infrastructure, they continued to hold shortened classes. Much unlike Kizen’s usual style. On the last day, Professor Jane announced that the second semester was going to be modified into an Integrated Second Semester that focuses on a war preparation curriculum in the event that war does break out.

During the vacation, every student had one last holiday assignment they must do. In the event of war, every student had to find a way their own method to fight against Priests.

Lost in thought about fighting against Priest, Simon’s own body began to emit Divinity. He realized that he himself has become a Priest.

### Vacation to... the Holy Federation! (159-189)

Once the holidays started, Simon was eager to leave Kizen out of fear that someone might discover his Divinity. But before going home, he went to Pier’s Ruins to speak with his legion before the start of the holidays.

Pier would head to the Jungle of Screams to search for another Ancient Undead while Elizabeth was going to the Insect Tomb to increase her own power. Prince would remain in the Death Lands to transform it into the perfect base for the 7th Legion.

Before leaving, Pier took back his alter-ego from Simon saying he wouldn’t meet Richard.

Simon meets up with the rest of Team 7 as they were leaving. They all had plans to improve themselves over the holidays and promise to meet back up in Kizen. After finishing up all his remaining goodbyes, Simon steps into the teleportation circle and goes straight home to Les Hill.

He returns to his quiet, mountainside home that felt so distant compared to the hectic life at Kizen. Once he arrives at home, he expected a warm welcome, but instead, he found his mother was had fallen ill.

Anna suffered from a chronic illness for all of Simon’s life. Usually, they could manage the illness, but the medicine can only be made in the Holy Federation. Unfortunately, due to the Saintess Incident and Nefthis Retaliation, the border between the two countries became sealed more tightly than ever.

Luckily, Richard managed to get in contact with a friend of Anna’s on the other side. She’ll be delivering the medicine herself and Richard wanted Simon to escort her once she arrives.

Knowing the situation will resolve itself, Simon relaxes. Their conversation moves on to talking about Simon’s life at school and how he was progressing as a Necromancer. During which, Richard warns Simon about messy relationships and to be cautious whenever making friends with the opposite gender.

Having heard about Richard’s history from Nefthis and Pier. Simon was unable to take his fathers words to heart.

Resolving himself, Simon asks to learn more about his mothers illness. Richard explains that Anna’s true identity was previously Saintess of Miracles. After being married to Richard, the two of them gave up their identities as Commander and Saintess.

While Richard disbanded the Legion, Anna’s case was far more difficult. After forcibly extracting the Essence of the Saintess, it left side-effects in Anna’s body leading to her current yearly illness.

Knowing his mothers true history, Simon reveals to Richard that he has inherited the 7th Legion. Asking why he couldn’t find any record of Richard’s own enrollment. Despite Richard being a Legion Commander when he was still in school.

Richard admits that he used a fake name while attending school. For most his life because of how much he hated his own father. Before meeting Anna, he used the name Yona instead.

Having settled back into Les Hill, Simon left to go meet the courier who will be bringing Anna’s medicine. For the first time, Simon ran through the familiar hills and forests of his home with a core.

Arriving near the edge of the territory, Simon waits for them. Doing holiday assignments in the process. It wasn’t long before Simon spotted a traveler who matched Richard’s description and went to meet them. Then he was immediately attacked by her.

They briefly fight. With the courier casting one of the strongest anti-necromancer spells on the continent on Simon. Unfortunately for her, Simon was immune to pure Divinity attacks such as Exorcism. So he came out unscathed and managed to curse her.

She recovered shortly but Simon used that chance to reveal his identity as Anna’s son. A revelation met with anger from the other side. Knowing they still shared the same goal, she introduced herself as Rete Sardegna, a first-year student from Efnel and they return home to deliver the medicine to Anna.

As they traveled, Rete made it clear she despised Simon for being a Necromancer and had no intention of unnecessary dialog.

With Simon’s guidance, they returned home. Although Rete was filled with hostility against Richard, she didn’t forget her objective. She kicks out Richard and Simon and begins Anna’s treatment.

Simon is suspicious, but Richard assures him she can be trusted. At the same time, he reveals her identity as Efnel’s 1st Chosen. The counterpart to Simon who is Kizen’s Special Admissions #1.

The treatment was a success and Anna’s symptoms have regressed. Her first action was to cook up a welcome home meal for Simon and a welcome meal for Rete. It was a strange dinner with Rete, who hated Necromancers, but had to dine with them for Anna.

After dinner, Simon and Rete both volunteered to wash the dishes. It was there that Rete challenged Simon to a duel. Thinking it’ll be good for his holiday homework, Simon accepted. Before they could, Anna appears and scolds them both. Forbidding violence between them.

Regardless of their armistice, Rete continued to show open disdain for Simon while fawning over Anna.

That night, Simon had a nightmare about Flema’s attack on Kizen. He saw all his friends being killed and reduced to ashes by the White Flame of purification. Waking up in cold sweat, he goes to the living room for water where he discovers the very White Flames from his nightmares burning down his house.

Simon finds Rete on the floor who is in a daze as she stares at Anna. Who was the source of the White Flames.

Richard casts a spell to seal Anna within Jet-Black. Using the counter to divinity, he was able to reduce the amount of flames and carefully stabilize Anna’s condition. With the white flames taken care of, the group moves to a different location to talk about what had happened.

There, Richard reveals that Anna was chosen by the Essence of the Saintess and has become the new Saintess of Purification. Normally, while volatile, the power shouldn’t have gone berserk or harmed Anna. But because Anna was previously the Saintess of Miracles, remnant power from her previous Essence of the Saintess remained inside her. Now it was causing an adverse reaction with the Essence of Purification.

With her current condition, Richard didn’t believe she would live for more than a few more months.

Fortunately, there was a cure. Just like how Anna had her previous Essence removed, if they can remove the Essence of Purification, her condition will return to normal. But he needed ingredients, the most important one was the White Leaf from the Tree of Life that only exists in the Holy Federation.

Rete declares her intention to obtain the leaf regardless of the consequences. Simon expresses his desire to help and will go with her. Only for his desire to be immediately rejected by both Rete and Richard.

After Nefthis’s attack, heretics have been causing one problem after another in the Holy Federation. This resulted in an increased number of inquisitors patrolling the Federation. If any of them discover a necromancer, they’ll be killed.

Simon is confident he’ll never be caught as a necromancer. To prove it, he releases divinity from his body. An act that should’ve been impossible.

With the decision in place, Rete arranges for a secret identity for Simon. But the identity was still of an apprentice priest. To ensure he wouldn’t get caught, Rete reluctantly agrees to teach Simon the basics of White Magic.

All evaluations for first-year students at Kizen have been completed, leaving only the promotion exam, the final and most significant gateway to first-year life. As long as they passed the promotion test, they could advance safely to the second year at Kizen. During the remaining time, Simon and his friends trained intensely and fine-tuned their conditions in preparation for the end of the first year. On the day of the exam, Simon and the other first-year students at Kizen arrived at the island housing the dungeon, the site of their promotion exam, and immediately entered the dungeon to begin the test.

### Attack of the Heavenly Blood Cult (390-398)

Inside the dungeon, Simon joined forces with Meilyin, Toto, and Hector. Suddenly, he witnessed these three and several other students undergoing mutations, turning them statue-like. Almost immediately, Simon began experiencing the same mutation.

Using the resistance techniques taught by Beyla, Simon managed to suppress the mutation. Recognizing the emergency, he quickly destroyed the test camera around his neck, summoned Peer and Hersheva, and began his mission to defeat the dungeon master.

To their surprise, they found that the dungeon master was Professor Silage, who had assumed Professor Walter's body through a consumption ritual. He was the Archbishop of the Heavenly Blood Cult, a blood magic sorcerer who had survived for hundreds of years using a forbidden art. He planned to sacrifice the hearts and cores of Kizen’s first-year students who entered the dungeon, advancing the cult's project to resurrect the 'Apostles'. His plan was nearing success when Simon intervened to stop it, initiating a battle between them.

Initially, Simon intended to kill the sealed dungeon owner to allow the professors to enter, but Silage’s skilled maneuvers thwarted this plan. After Simon’s identity as a corps commander was revealed, he realized that defeating Silage directly was the only option. Using Hersheba’s third power, 'World of Sand', Simon countered just before Silage could activate his 'Bloodstone Castle'.

In Hersheba’s realm, the battle continued, but Simon found himself increasingly outmatched. When members of the Heavenly Blood Cult infiltrated using their secret techniques, Simon transformed Hersheba’s life vessel into an army of legion-type undead.

He then expanded his strategy, summoning the 7th Legion into the dungeon to engage in a battle with the cult. Elizabeth, Prince, and Achemus each dominated a bishop of the cult, but despite using divinity and the divine beast Akalion, Simon could not defeat Silage. In desperation, he resorted to 'Compelonia', a curse given by Bahil.

At this moment, Simon encountered a being akin to the true god of their world. Offered the chance to become a god, he declined, instead receiving a gift that granted him the third magical power – a blend of divinity, jet-black essence, and a void transcending worldly laws. Utilizing this Void power, Simon finally vanquished Silage.

After releasing the powers of Void and Hersheba and returning to reality, the remaining members of the Heavenly Blood Cult attempted to kill the exhausted Simon. However, Lorain and Serene intervened, annihilating the remnants. With Serene's abilities, they managed to cover up the involvement of Simon and the 7th Legion, successfully thwarting the Heavenly Blood Cult’s Apostle Resurrection Project.

Simon, who woke up in the Kizen ward after the subjugation of the Blood Heaven Church, gives a statement about the incident and is informed of the current situation by Nephthys.

The Dark Federation is currently embarking on a large-scale suppression of the Blood Heavenly Church, and at the same time, the Holy Federation leaked information that the Heresy Inquisition Director 'Rate' was behind the Blood Heavenly Church, causing the Holy Federation to also suppress the Blood Heavenly Church. Except for Simon, the remaining Keygen students joined Endolas Vaudeville. I heard that I had to take a re-exam through a battle with the dungeon owner who was embodied with the ability of .

Simon quickly gets up, saying that he has to go too, but Nephthys tells him to rest, saying that Simon is confirmed to be ranked first in the promotion exam in recognition of his performance in the dungeon and that Simon saved the entire first year.

Also, when Nephthys asked what he wanted as a reward for stopping the Blood Heaven Cult, he asked for forgiveness for the crime of killing and harming his comrades, which was the reason the 7th Legion was called the Legion of Betrayal.

In response, Nephthys said that it would not be resolved just by pardoning the sins, but that it would be possible to resolve the conflict between the bereaved families and families of the necromancers who were killed by Richard and the 7th Legion in the past, as well as the high-ranking necromancers who survived the 7th Legion's attack.

However, due to the increasingly severe level of provocations of the Holy Federation, the value of the 7th Corps, and the value, name value, and nutritional power of the current corps commander, Simon, are increasing within the federation, there is ample room to take time to change public opinion, so the 7th Corps in the future Officially, he promised to help them operate without any problems. However, since this did not completely provide the requested compensation, he said he would provide separate personal compensation in the future.

After Nephthys leaves, Simon tries to recreate the void, but fails repeatedly. He accidentally mixes cloud and divinity, and after witnessing the phenomenon of divinity and cloud mixing, Simon decides to show it to Farahan.

Meanwhile, Bahil, who returned from Kizen's re-promotion exam, visits Simon and mentions the librarian he saw through Compellonia and says he will place a curse on this world, but Simon witnesses a god who has crossed the library where the librarian is located and Bahil only intends to rule Compellonia with good intentions. Deciding that it was not informed, I declined the offer to major in low-level science and become a direct student.

Afterwards, Simon created a new power, 'Chaos', by mixing the 'Holy Blood' taught to him by Farahan and Cloud, and with the help of Umbra, a first-year necromantics professor, he developed 'Chaos Sphere', 'Chaos Reaper', and 'Chaos Rampage'. It has been done.

Afterwards, Simon, who was safely discharged from the hospital, finished his first year at the top of his class and was set to receive a promotion ceremony.

A few days later, Simon holds a promotion ceremony in Kizen with Richard, who came as his uncle, to the second grade promotion ceremony. He shows off his chaotic strength through a confrontation with Hector, and wins the promised battle with Hector.

## Simon Polentia's Student Council (431-942)

### Life at Home (431-436)

After completing his investigation in the Holy Federation and collaborating with Dungeon Master Carissa, Simon returned to Les Hill through a broker. There, he prepared for his second year by resting and recuperating from the chaos with the help of Anna and Richard.

Meanwhile, Phantasus, the former student council president of Keygen, unexpectedly arrived at Les Hill and congratulated Simon on becoming the student council president of Kizen. Simon, confused by this news, listened as Phantasus explained the situation.

It turned out that Keygen's headquarters initially wanted Eisel Bringer, reputed to be the strongest among the current Keygen students and a top prize winner in both his second and third years, to be the student council president. However, Eisel did not want to be compared to the legendary Phantasus, so he embarked on undercover missions and assassinations in the neutral zone and the Holy Federation, similar to those previously undertaken by Phantasus.

Due to complications in these missions, Eisel was unable to return until mid-to-late in the first semester, creating a vacancy in the position of student council president. Phantasus had recommended Simon for this role in Eisel's absence. As a result, Simon was informed he had become the student council president.

However, Simon expressed concerns about resistance from the third-year students. Phantasus assured him that this issue had been resolved, detailing the negotiation with Eisel and the third-year students who were on missions:

1. Simon would serve as student council president until Eisel's return.

2. Simon and the third-year students would not interfere with each other.

3. If Eisel returned and Simon still held the position with a desire to continue, they would determine the president through a duel evaluation.

4. Should Simon relinquish the presidency to Eisel, Eisel would unconditionally recommend Simon as the next president.

Surprised by Phantasus's unexpected negotiation skills, Simon pondered the situation. Richard joined the conversation and opposed the idea, deeming Simon's assumption of the presidency in his second year premature.

Phantasus attempted to counter this, but Richard, referring to both himself and Anna, questioned why they, as Simon's parents, were not consulted about this significant decision. Phantasus acknowledged this oversight and apologized for his impatience. Richard, somewhat agreeing with Phantasus's points, asked Simon to teach Phantasus the original version of the Sleep Curse, as opposed to the standard version taught in second-year courses.

Phantasus eagerly agreed to this and inquired about the differences between the standard Sleep Curse and his original version. Over the next week, Simon practiced the curse, memorizing the magic circle and casting an active curse to suppress it naturally.

Using the newly acquired Sleep Curse, Simon successfully induced a peaceful sleep for Phantasus, who had been plagued by nightmares and sleep disturbances. The curse allowed Phantasus to dream of happier times with his family, contrasting his traumatic memories. This received high praise, and it was suggested that they should go down the mountain together.

With Phantasus's departure, Simon, having advanced his training in sleep, chaos, and divine beasts, left Les Hill via teleport four days before the start of school.

### The Parona Peninsula Incident (437-449)

Simon, now in possession of the student council badge, goes to meet with his team and best friends. With the intention of inviting them to the student council along side him. Under the sea, a dark conspiracy is brewing that will decide the fate of a Kizen Student.

### Becoming Second Years and the Next Generation Arrives (450-474)

Simon, preparing for the new student entrance ceremony at Kizen with his fellow student council members Dick, Kami, and Meyrin, was tasked with going to Langustine to lead the new students on the Nether Whale, as requested by Jane.

Arriving in Langustine the day before boarding, Simon had some free time since Kizen's minions had nearly completed their tasks.

During his leisure, Simon witnessed Arthur Bleman, the mercenary king he had fought alongside on the Parona Peninsula, being deceived by con artists. Arthur, realizing the deception too late, rushed in wearing a robe to handle the situation. Simon, with his exceptional undead control, subdued all the fraudsters and greeted Arthur.

Arthur was delighted to see Simon, addressed him as 'senior', and even apologized for not being able to join him to buy textbooks due to a prior commitment.

Left to his own devices, Simon went to buy textbooks alone and encountered Heidi, a new student who mistook him for a fellow first-year at Kizen.

However, Heidi was later kidnapped by unidentified individuals.

The following dawn, Simon arrived at the port to welcome the new students. He managed to calm down a heated argument between two boys, impressing his subordinates with his composure.

After a short break, a candidate from the Amperge family, unable to accept his admission failure, went on a rampage and assaulted a subordinate. Simon attempted to intervene but was initially pushed back. He then successfully subdued Arthur and the candidate who had resorted to forbidden black magic, earning significant popularity and influence among the freshmen. His commands were promptly followed.

Upon learning that Arthur was the last passenger to arrive, but Heidi was missing, Simon suspected the Amperge family's involvement. After securing 15 minutes from a Keygen employee, he set off to rescue Heidi.

Simon called upon Ake Mus, using her feather to pinpoint Heidi's location at the clock tower dormitory and immediately headed there.

The kidnappers and fraudsters, hired by the Amperge family to secure admission through deceit, were swiftly dealt with by Archemus, who eliminated the necromancer from the Amperge family attempting to harm Simon. Although Archemus was enraged, Simon calmed him, retrieved the feathers, and took flight again.

Switching his mode of transportation from Archemus to Skuldrone, Simon narrowly managed to board the Nether Whale using Cloud, earning cheers from the new students and minions.

Heidi, grateful for her rescue, offered to repay Simon, but he declined, expressing his hope that she, the first student he saved, would thrive in the competitive environment of Kizen.

With that, 300 students arrived at Locke Island, and the entrance ceremony commenced. Simon received the student council president coat directly from Nephthys, officially assuming the role. The ceremony also included departmental overviews provided by majors and the provision of Old Chairs to high-ranking officials of the Dark Alliance. The entrance ceremony concluded successfully, marked by excellent hospitality.

### Entering the Summoning Major (475-480)

It's a new year at Kizen. No longer are they aspirants. Now, Simon has fully entered the Summoning Major. Aside from Professor Aaron, he meets the other two Summoning class teachers. An expert in Chimeras, and twins who hold a very dark secret.

### Course Registration (481-487)

As the second year begins in earnest, the season for enrolling in general courses and liberal arts courses, in addition to major courses, has arrived at KeyGen. Consequently, Simon and his friends, now second-year students with different majors, decide to take the same subject and professor for their general courses.

Fortunately, the second-year students were taught by KeyGen's top star professors—Jane, Bahil, and Hongfeng. Simon and his friends eagerly added Jane's Jet Black Magic Mechanics, Bahil's Curse Science, and Hongfeng's Magic Science to their schedules.

During the course registration season at KeyGen, students faced numerous challenges to reach the professors and register for courses. The difficulty was particularly high for the classes taught by the esteemed trio of Jane, Bahil, and Hongfeng. Simon and his friends planned the shortest routes to the campus and laboratories where these professors were located.

One rainy night, Bahil's chief assistant, Chehekle, unexpectedly visited Simon's dormitory room. Caught off guard, Simon inadvertently saw Chehekle in his underwear. Chehekle, moving on to the main topic, earnestly requested Simon to give priority to Bahil's Curse Theory when registering for classes the next day.

Bahil, absent from the school's opening party and the start of the new semester, had been hiding and seemed despondent about everything. The cause was Simon. At the end of the first year, after teaching Compellonia to Simon, who had mastered all four curses, Bahil learned that Simon had used it against the Blood Heavenly Church. Bahil then revealed his true nature and insane ambition to curse the world, inviting Simon to join him as a direct disciple in Curse Science. However, Simon, who had gone beyond Bahil's understanding by meeting an absolute being akin to 'God' at the end of Compellonia, declined Bahil's offer.

Since then, Bahil had been in despair, missing the opportunity to teach Simon and have him specialize in his curse. Simon felt it was exaggerated to attribute such a change to himself alone.

Chehekle revealed her past struggle with Bahil, who had blocked her path and later offered her an assistant professor position due to her financial needs. Despite her mixed feelings of love and hate towards Bahil, she couldn't bear to see his current state.

Understanding the complex relationship between Bahil and Chehekle, Simon told her he would consider her request. Chehekle said she would respect Simon's choice, regardless of what it was, and left.

Despite his original plan, Simon, driven by a strong desire to continue learning curses from Bahil, changed his first course registration to Bahil's class. He informed his friends and sought their understanding.

The infamous KeyGen course registration season was challenging. Simon, reminded of his time with Bahil with each curse he used to clear a mission, felt conflicted but persevered. He was the first to arrive at Bahil's laboratory in the curse department building.

At that time, Bahil, still despondent, paid no heed to Chehekle's attempts to console or provoke him. However, upon seeing Simon, Bahil was startled and lost his composure. Simon apologized for his harsh refusal in the hospital room and thanked Bahil for teaching him Compellonia, which had saved his life.

Amazed by Simon's existence, Bahil regained his usual, or perhaps even heightened, madness, vowing to make Simon major in curses again. Chehekle, worried her actions might have been in vain, was relieved to see Bahil return to his original form.

Afterward, Simon successfully registered for Jane's Jet Black Mechanics class and proceeded to Hong Feng's Magic Studies class, where his friends were struggling with registration.

Simon, joining forces with Kazan, astonished other students with his and Kazan's prowess. While Meilin became shy remembering her time with Simon, Dick teased her, but they all progressed steadily. The exam for Hongfeng's class, considered the most difficult, was a significant challenge.

Arriving at Hongfeng's location first, Simon helped his friends with his advanced magic skills. Hongfeng praised Simon as flawless and the best among all Class A members, then asked if he wished to learn any specific skills. Simon, expressing interest in learning swordsmanship, successfully completed the registration for all planned major courses and then individually selected liberal arts courses.

Initially content with seven subjects due to his student council president duties, Simon was persuaded by Jane to take an additional course, 'King Studies,' a requirement for the student council president.

### Tarados and the Dungeon of Immortality (488-511)

Simon smoothly navigated his second year at school, enjoying a fulfilling academic life. At the same time, he involved himself with the Ancient Undead, the former leader of a legion previously recovered from the White Tomb Dungeon. He also investigated a mysterious organization called 'Society,' which had prevented 'Kal,' the demon of disease, from recovering. Additionally, Simon explored ways to restore the sword to its original state.

Peer took charge of determining how to revive Karl, while Elizabeth focused on tracking the whereabouts of the Order, using small clues from documents previously obtained in the dungeon.

Peer discovered that the current sword was split in two and non-functional; the sword they had recovered was only one half of the main body. He informed Simon that finding the other half was essential to restoring the sword.

Elizabeth provided Simon with a key clue: 'Tarados,' as mentioned in the document. This led to the discovery that Tarados was a territory in the Dresden Kingdom. Feeling suspicious, Simon decided to visit the Tarados territory during the mission evaluation period. He instructed his peers to prepare so that the corps could be deployed at any time.

### Transfers from the 3 Great Necromancer Academies (512-528)

As part of the traditional exchange matches done during transfer periods, Simon visits the 3 Great Necromancer Schools that all compete under Kizen's shadow. They are Alland, Sierra, and Moyran.

### The Dark Festival and the Wish of Madness (608-648)

It's Kizen's famous sports festival. But all is not what it seems when a fanatical priest infiltrates the festival with the power to grant wishes. She already killed the Saintess of Harvest, now it's up to the Legion of Betrayal and Saintess of Stars to stop her.

### To the North! (649-693)

After Nephthys publicly announced the return of the Legion of Betrayal, she visited the ruins with Simon and suggested to the legion's captains that Simon's education be entrusted to another corps commander for his growth. Initially, all the captains opposed the idea.

However, when Nephthys mentioned the possibility of involvement by the Grand Duke of the North, the captains fell silent, indicating a positive response. When Elizabeth inquired whether they could secure his cooperation, Simon stated it was feasible with the right approach.

The Northern Grand Duke, referred to by Nephthys, governs Vilkenos in the northern part of the Kalos Kingdom and the continent. He is the current second hero of humanity, Jean Arskalt, commanding legions that hold back monsters and undead from the Frost Field above Vilkenos.

Nephthys arranged for Simon to be sent to Vilkenos, where Jean Arskalt was located. Upon encountering Jean Arskalt, clad in helmet and armor, Simon felt overwhelmed by an intense sense of intimidation. Regaining composure, he attempted to deliver a letter from Nephthys but was initially rebuffed.

Simon managed to gain an audience with the Archduke only after saving a village while wearing a similar helmet and armor. He agreed to assist the Archduke in subduing the Frost Field in exchange for training.

Jean Arskalt revealed that a monstrous entity called the North God, an ancient undead, resided in the Frost Field. It was the duty of the former Grand Dukes of the North and the commanders of the 2nd Corps to eliminate this being.

While receiving lessons from the Archduke, Simon steadily grew in skill and became well-acquainted with the northerners. Eventually, the 2nd Legion and the Northern Army succeeded in eliminating the first and second of the three brothers under the North God and the hive entity leading the North God's forces. Simon, leading the 7th Corps' troops, achieved victory over all, including the third.

After a celebratory party, where Jin became inebriated, Simon carried him to bed and urged him to read the unread letter from Nephthys. Despite his drowsiness, Jin read the letter and discovered Simon was the son of Yona, the former commander of the 7th Legion. Years ago, when Jin was five and his father had died, leaving the legion's power diminished, Yona had struck a deal to annihilate the invading Northern God legion. Yona had left behind one Ancient Undead and a unit led by that being to aid the North, promising to meet again. However, following the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War, Yona was branded a traitor and reported killed, leaving Jin in deep sorrow.

### Fate of the Student Council (694-723)

Simon and Kami, having returned from Vilkenos, went to see Jane, where they received both nagging and praise. After being awarded an A+ grade for their dispatched class, they arrived at the student council room. There, they learned from Meyrin that Hal Azel Bringer, considered the strongest and most senior among the Kigen students and a competitor for the student council presidency, had returned.

Subsequently, Ezel visited and requested a private conversation with Simon. They discussed the terms of a duel and the succession of the student council presidency in case of defeat. After their discussion, they parted ways. However, Simon left her student council coat behind, and when she returned to retrieve it, she found Ezel in a state of despair.

Ezel confessed that her cool and charismatic demeanor was just a façade; in truth, her personality was too timid and introverted, rendering her unsuitable for a role like the student council president.

In reality, Ezel had been using high-heeled shoes, styled bangs, and glasses to project a sharp image. However, once these elements were removed, she appeared more like a gentle, handsome boy.

A week later, as the final exam period approached, the exams began. While preparing for the Jet Black Mechanics exam, Simon heard a rumor from Meirin about a fight between Ezel and Sota.

After completing his final exam, Simon immediately went to the building's roof, where he met Azel. He also encountered Ednik Graham, who was overseeing the duel. Ednik informed him about the duel's venue and rules.

When asked to list the observers for the duel, Simon filled in the names and submitted the form. Eisel had expected Simon to include Sota, but was taken aback when he saw that Sota's name was absent.

Later, Eisel ran into Sota and, when questioned about not being named as an observer, bluntly confirmed it was intentional. This angered Sota, who threatened to reveal Azel's true identity. Despite Sota's criticism, Eisel ignored him, exposing Sota's actions with Azel and expressing regret over how their friendship had turned out.

Sota, frustrated with Eisel, insisted that Eisel needed a reality check. After their confrontation, Sota, defeated by Eisel, approached Balak and disclosed Azel's true identity. Balak, who had held Eisel in high regard, became infuriated upon hearing this and went to confront Azel.

Meanwhile, Simon reached the duel site and waited for Azel, who had not yet arrived. As time passed, there was still no sign of Azel. Two minutes later, Ednik's magical circle was hacked by Balak.

Balak had found Azel and defeated him. He then forcefully declared his intent to participate in the student council competition. However, Simon quickly dismissed him with a kick, leading to an unexpected confrontation.

### History Lesson (724-754)

### Trouble in the Grasslands (755-776)

At the invitation of Professor Hong Feng, the student council journey's to the grasslands. Unbeknown to them, Mur, a previous captain of the 7th Legion, is planning something there.

### Balak's Student Council (777-787)

After the meadow incident, we returned to Kizen on the opening day of the second semester. However, Dick arrived at the dormitory with an urgent announcement: Balak had become the student council president. Soon after, the headquarters staff came to discuss the situation. They explained that since the Balak incident, the second-year professors were advocating for Simon to remain as president, while the third-year professors were supporting Balak for the position.

It was revealed that Balak had defeated the Arch Paladin in a punitive mission, swaying public opinion in his favor. Eventually, Balak was appointed as the student council president for the second semester.

However, Simon, the former student council president, received special consideration. He was guaranteed the presidency for the next year, and Balak was given the right to challenge him at any time, with the stipulation that Balak must accept the challenge.

Simon saw this as a favorable situation. After recovering from his injury, he attended Byeolya's class to enhance his resistance level significantly and devised a plan to confront the last dragon he had seen.

The news of Balak becoming the student council president shocked Kizen the next day. The third-year students were pleased to regain their prestige, but the first-year students were unhappy about Simon, whom they respected, stepping down from the presidency. Similarly, the second-year students were initially angry when they learned that a classmate had usurped Simon.

Ultimately, during the entrance ceremony, as the third-year professors greeted the students, first- and second-year students began to boo, with the first-year students starting to protest.

Later, during the Summoning class, professors Lin and Run, who specialized in summoning and funeral studies, were temporarily absent due to unforeseen circumstances. Kizen invited a substitute professor, Jin Arskalt, the commander of the 2nd Corps and Grand Duke of the North, to fill in.

### Infiltrating the Holy Federation (788-802)

The most dangerous ingredient for the corrupted Death Knights, a 100 year corpse of a paladin, must be obtained. The only place to obtain them, the Holy Federation.

As they invade, the Head Inquisitor, known for infinite Divinity approaches.

### Survive or Win (802-837)

### The Grand Forge (838-850)

As the final step to create the Corrupted Death Knight, Professor Aaron takes the summoning department to the homeland of the dwarves. Where the last remaining piece of the Ancient Undead, Beelzebub is.

### Exchange Exhibition (851-863)

After the Grand Forge coup, Simon was told by Wilkart that he could take the artifact he wanted to the Golden Vault as a reward, and he asked to take Beelzebub's flesh instead. Wilkart is troubled by this, but he says he will give it to Simon, who saved Grand Forge, if he wants it.

Later, when Peer asks why he chose Beelzebub's flesh, he reveals that it was to absorb it into the Great Sword of Destruction, as he discovered that there was even a little bit of the Ancient Undead's power remaining.

Afterwards, Hector, Lorraine, and Guinevere see that they have succeeded in making the Death Knight and look for Toto, but when they see him with a straight face and his head bowed, they think they have failed in making it, but soon after, the Death Knight appears behind Toto and they are happy that they have succeeded. . Afterwards, he returns to Kizen and announces

to the headquarters staff that he will use his right to challenge Balak , marking the beginning of a showdown between Balak and Simon for student council president. Two hours ago, I met Grimoire, the 2nd overall 3rd grader, through Leonard. She tells Balak to give up the challenge because he has the Darksword , a technology that can take her life, but Simone refuses to give in to her will, and Grimoire, who sees it, says he will teach her how to deal with the Darksword. Instead, she asks Simon to do her a favor if he defeats Balak. And again in the present. Currently, Ballack is away on a mission, so it will take some time and an agreement will be reached at the end of the second semester mid-term exams. And as word of this spreads, second-year students indiscriminately challenge third-year students to a duel, and some demand an explanation from the new student council. Accordingly, the professors decide to hold the exchange match after the midterm exams, when Balak returns, and to hold the duel between Simon and Balak at the end after the exchange match. After hearing this, Simon accepts and meets with Mayrin, Kami, and Dick, and hears from Mojo that Sota is looking for them . However, instead of coming, Simon asks to set up a separate meeting place. Sota, upon hearing this, gets angry again. Meanwhile, Balak, who was on a mission, met a woman.

When they meet and talk, they say that they are the ones who created Balak and that the elders are watching . Then, he finds a minion who was eavesdropping and hears from him that Simon used the right to challenge and that he must participate in the exchange battle and accept Simon's challenge as soon as he returns. And then destroys the minion who has finished reporting.

Afterwards, Simon notices Sota following him while training as a Death Knight in the Forbidden Forest, and Sota appears when he is caught following him. When she asks why she came, Sota says that she wants to make a bet with him, and if the second year wins even 'only 1 game' out of the 4 matches in the exchange match, she will assume that Simon wins the bet and do her a favor. On the other hand, if the 3rd grader wins, it will be his victory, and his request is to seal 'one type' of undead that was pointed out during the final match with Valak.
Accordingly, instead of suggesting that the second graders must win at least twice to win, Simon sets the condition that they must appear in one of the four games .[28] When he accepts the conditions and asks about the conditions if he wins, Simon puts forward a condition to Balak that he apologize for manipulating Azel and encouraging Balak. After hearing this, Sota eventually accepts.

After some time, I get an A+ on the midterm exam and the exchange competition is finally held. The first match is a 1:1 match with one person from each team. The sophomore team features Raheim Northpold, Elsom Pensey, Viend Clack, and Elisa Selin, while the junior team features Daniel Kendrick and Joel Mullaney. , Aves Quintanar, etc. will participate.

The first is a match between Elsom Penzi and Aves Quintanar. The result is that Aves defeats Elsom in an instant. He then defeats all of his opponents and wins 4 times.[29] Because of this, the morale of the second graders drops, and Merida is forced to participate in the second team competition.

The second-year side will feature Merida, Elicia, Jules, Li Kang, Jessica, and Gleck, while the third-year side will feature fourth-place players Pernomia, Charrier, and Gilo. Dick tries to tell Merida her strategy, but she refuses, saying that Merida can be defeated alone, but when she hears that Pernomia is entering the war, she asks Dick to tell her his strategy.

Afterwards, the match begins and Merida is defeated one-sidedly. She activates her trance and tries to fight back. Although Sharier and Gilo were attacked by this, Pernomia did not panic and defeated the monsters that appeared, and eventually defeated Merida. I thought she had won... but in fact, the whole situation was a dream I had while sleeping, and Pernomia and others had already been killed. Charrie and Gilo were defeated. With this, the second grade wins the second game.

Soon, the 3rd and 4th games are 1:1 individual matches, and in the 3rd game, Albaderin participates in the 3rd grade, and Toto participates in the 2nd grade.

Then, the second graders think that Toto will lose, but Simon is confident that they can look forward to it.

After a while, the game begins and Albatherin makes a preemptive attack in the beginning, but Toto immediately summons a Death Worm and counterattacks while creating a Death Knight magic circle. However, they thought it would be over after being pushed out right away, but when they saw Toto counterattack with other undead and get ahead, the second graders started cheering for Toto.

Albaderin and Toto fight evenly, and then Toto unfolds the Death Knight magic circle he had been preparing and summons a Death Knight wearing death armor.

In fact, Toto heard Beelzebub's voice during the Death Knight Dive and was afraid at first, but after diving several times, Beelzebub also recognized Toto. Back to the present. Toto, who summoned the Death Knight, changes his mood and attacks Albatherin. Albaderin also tries to fight back, but is cut down by the Death Knight's Auror Blade. He tries to attack one last time, but Toto hits him with his fist and falls down, and Toto wins the match.

Afterwards, Hector comes to Simon during lunch and asks him to let him out in the final game. In the fourth game, the 3rd year student council president and the future 2nd year student council president will select one person and send him or her out. This is why Hector made this request. However, later, Chatel and Cernet ask him to let them out.

The 4th game in a while. Ballack plays Sota and Simon plays Meirin.

The fourth event is field hunting. By using Keygen's virtual battle simulation system 'Abalon', the side that kills more monsters within the time limit from randomly summoned monsters wins.[30]

The game begins and Sota and Meirin begin to defeat the summoned monsters. So far, Meirin is ahead, but Sota was trying to prepare powerful black magic by absorbing the monster's biological energy through the soul stream. Then suddenly Meirin attacks Sota. Meirin noticed Sota's plan and decided to step forward.

Meanwhile, Hector approached Simon, who was watching the match between Meilin and Sota, and asked him why he chose Meyrin, and he said that he chose Meyrin because he thought she would have a higher chance of winning. When Hector said that if Meilin lost, Simon would not be able to avoid criticism, Simon replied that he judged based on skill and odds of winning, and Hector, convinced by this, left.

Stadium again. Sota, who was running away from Meirin's attack, uses the original black magic, Inkisangban.[31] Meilin attacks, but is passed over. He tried to absorb Meilin's energy as she ran away, but strangely the distance did not close at all.

Then, Meirin raises her arm above her head and pretends to slash her downwards, and her Sota is pinned to the ground by her attack from above. In fact, Meilin knew her strategy for attacking the enemy.[32] Attacks Sota with the jet black wind system.

Eventually, when the Ivory Tower original's proxy magic was activated, a huge witch's hat and a large staff were created, and the Elemental Master[33] By mixing the four jet-black elements, a new technology is created.

Sota's eyes turn in anger and he fires magic, but is helplessly defeated by Meirin's magic. In fact, it is said that Meilin asked Serne to teach her the Ivory Tower original's proxy formula magic needed to complete Elemental Master, and Serne agreed on the condition of receiving her payment.

Meyrin pushes her Sota while also using Curse Tempest, a remake of Azel's magic . Sota, extremely angry, tries to attack with a new black magic, but the referee calls for an end to the match.

The result of the match was Meirin's victory, but Sota did not listen and planned to finish Meirin regardless of victory or loss, but Meirin was easily swept away with the original magic elemental burst, and Sota, who was charred and struggling to kill Meilin, said that Meirin would not see her in a few months . We will never meet each other again, so submit yourself, commoner. Give it a shot.

After the game ended, the atmosphere of the third graders became harsh.[34] Balak kicks out Sota and appoints Aves as vice president.

And finally, the highlight, the showdown between Simon and Balack for student council president, begins.

Meanwhile. Members of the Thieves' Guild were looking for traces of Balak's mission. Then he discovers that it looks like a human arm but has metal attached to it, and contacts headquarters.[35]

And the stadium waiting room. Grimoire comes to Simon and gives him an artifact that can block Balak's secret book and advises him that he can only block it once.

After preparations are completed, he enters the stadium. After a bit of nerves, the confrontation begins. Simon attacks first and Balak also attacks, but Simon counters with the strategy he has thoroughly studied and the resistance meter he learned from Byeolya.

Soon, a magic circle is prepared to summon the Death Knight, and Balak creates poisonous armor with level 1 Infernal Armor. Eventually, when the guards attacked, Balak countered with Fulgor, but Simon, who had experienced it once, avoided it. However, soon the SS is destroyed and Simon quickly increases the SS to attack, but Balak escapes.

He then attacks with poison created with level 2 Infernal Armor, but is not attacked and uses zombies to explode corpses, causing damage.

After attacking like that, not long after, Balak attacks with a deadly poison spell fired with level 3 Infernal Armor, and in the aftermath of this attack, the barrier is on the verge of collapsing. Fortunately, no casualties occurred because the second barrier was deployed as soon as the first barrier was broken.

Meanwhile, Simon did not take much damage from Balak's poison thanks to the resistance meter he learned from Byulya, and Simon was currently ahead with his life gauge.

And then Manus is taken out from subspace. Soon after, he tried to give orders after putting the skull of Manus in the Dragonian, but of course he didn't listen and he lunged at Balak, but was pushed away.

Then he places Manus in sub-space and summons the Death Knight. Balak responds and counterattacks, but the Death Knight hugs Simon and steps on him like a stepping stone with the five created by Balak's magic, hitting Balak with his Auror Blade. It pushes forward while striking and finishes with an explosion of the corpse.

But soon he gets up, enters the poisonous armor, and finally activates the secret spell. Simon blocks it with the artifact given by Grimoire, but a second dark book flies in and hits him.

Just as he was about to lose his mind, he came to his senses using the Via Dolorosa used by the Death Knight. Balak, seeing this, shoots a third dark spell, telling him to die, and the Death Knight hits him instead. Balak continues to shoot the dark book only at Simon, but the Death Knight takes the hit instead, protecting Simon.

Meanwhile, the effect of Via Dolorosa that was being activated becomes stronger and dead armor is placed on Simon. Since Simon has become a Death Knight, he can use the Auror Blade and leaves control of the flag to the Death Knight.

Then, when Balak fires two dark books again, he uses the power of the Death Knight to collide the first dark book with the second dark book and neutralize it. When Balak, who is already in a bad state, fires another dark book, he uses his Auror Blade to block it. The moment the dark and Auror blades collide, Dead Armor and Simon are separated, and together with the Death Knight, they cut down Balak with the Auror blades, and eventually Balak falls and Simon wins .

But the surroundings were so quiet and there were no spectators. Simon, who felt strange about this, found out that the reason was that there was a barrier, and the moment he realized who that barrier was, someone walked out of the darkness... It was Grimoire .

When Simon asks why he is here, Grimoire replies that this is a space he created and that it is natural for him to be here and that Balak and Simon intruded. The reason he was able to enter the space was because of the artifact given to Simon, but blocking Balak's secret book is an additional function, and the real function is to act as a key.

When Simon asks why he was brought here, Grimoire says it is to take him to someone he wants to meet. Simon notices that Grimoire is a member of the Order and when asked about this, he does not deny it but agrees.

And when Simon refuses to go, he casts a spell, saying he will take them by force. Simon also wears a pier in response. Simon swings the Greatsword of Destruction, but it is blocked and the space is distorted, trying to absorb the Greatsword of Destruction. In the gap, Grimoire tries to run away, so he tries to chase him, but Kazan is down, and Kazanne provides first aid of his own and explains the situation. .

Kazan examined the prosthetic hand found by a guild member and found that it contained the same ingredients as the deadly artificial monster. Therefore, knowing that Gyeolsa had a connection with Ballack, he tried to warn Simon before the game started, but the game had already started and he tried to wait in the waiting room, but was caught by Grimoire and was locked up.

And he tells me to prepare for a new mission. Meanwhile, unlike the students who are in a festive mood because of Simon's victory, due to an unexpected situation inside, Jane eventually steps forward, deploys the third barrier, evacuates the students, and instructs them to remove the poison from the barrier. However, the 3rd gel system has been damaged by someone, so they gather the school's poison magicians to suck out the poison and neutralize it, and then ask Byeolya to check the internal situation.

Byulya reported that there was no one, and Jane, who heard this, assessed the situation and heard a report of the current situation from a minion who came to convey Kazan's message. He sent the students to the dormitory so that they would not be anxious, and told them to tell them that the match was confirmed as Simon's victory, and decided to use the communication port . Deliver the execution of annihilation and home base tracking operations .

### Confrontation (868-875)

In fact, Kazan left a magic circle indicating the coordinates before coming to Grimoire's space, and announced the location to the outside world with a compass artifact embedded in his body, so it is said that reinforcements will arrive soon. The purpose of the Thieves Guild is to be the headquarters of the organization, and although they have made every effort to achieve that goal, they have not succeeded. Even though I searched the continent, I couldn't find their home base. So we concluded that their home base **is not on the continent .**

In the past, when Kazan and Simon went to Tarados for a mission evaluation, the 'branch' of the organization was in the dungeon. This raises the possibility that Kazan is already in a 'closed dungeon' that cannot be accessed from the continent. In addition, because the organization uses a technology called 'portal', it was even more believable as it could move freely from dungeon to dungeon. And Simon remembers that in the past, when Silage caused a terrorist attack, he was locked in the sand dungeon of Hersheba, but opened a portal to bring the members of the Blood Heavenly Church into the dungeon. When he tells that story, he says that the portal is the only key.

Accordingly, under Nephthys' orders, the Thieves' Guild also developed a somewhat crude, but somewhat crude, portal technology that allows them to cross the space in the dungeon, and now that the Order has moved, they have put into practice what they had prepared. Now, as long as they secure the coordinates of the space, they can move on to the Order's home base and end the long fight. They say it can be done.

When Grimoire said that he would open a portal at least once because he was going to call for reinforcements, there would be a high probability that a strong person worthy of dealing with him would come from his home base, since he knew that Simon the Order was the leader of the treacherous army.

Kazan says that when assistance comes, save the coordinates and leave and leave the rest to them, and decides to find Grimoire first. But before you know it, the space has turned into a maze, and you begin to deal with the monsters raised by Grimoire.

Meanwhile. Jane's side was looking for the whereabouts of Simon and Balak, and Nephthys was currently away, so the delivery was bound to be late. Then Dick, Kami, Mayrin, and Cerne appear and they are convinced that something has happened to Simon and try to come forward, but Jane even raises her voice and tries to send him away.

Then, Lorraine appears and offers to help. When Jane asks if it is an order from her next chancellor, Lorraine denies it, and Jane sends her group away, saying that they are not her subordinates 'yet'.

The group that was kicked out like that meets with Leonard and after hearing about their situation, he tells them that he has a good idea and that he should help them if they are looking for Simon.

Meanwhile, Kazan and Simon tried to escape the maze by defeating monsters, but their condition was not good due to the poison they received during the fight with Balak. I guessed that the place where the grimoire would be was Kizen's library and headed there.

again. Dick, Kami, Mayrin, Lorraine, and Cerne arrive at the library with Leonard and learn from him that the mastermind behind this incident is Grimoire. When he arranged a meeting between Simon and Grimoire, he was kicked out of the space for being noisy. When Simon came out after the conversation and said that he could not tell him what was discussed as a condition, he thought something was suspicious. Later, when Balak and Simon are about to face off, he sees Grimoire trying to avoid the minions and go to the waiting room. He also avoids the minions and goes after Grimoire, running into Kazan.

Kazan asked Grimoire's location and when he said he went to the waiting room, he told him to leave and broke the window to leave. With this, the minions found Leonard and chased him away. It is said that they soon heard Kazan's screams. He reportedly tried to explain the situation to Simon, but he was captured by his minions and made to stay in the waiting room.

There, while watching the game between Balak and Simon, Grimoire appeared. He subdued the minions with his summons and tried to stop Grimoire, but there was no one in the stadium.

Accordingly, Meilin raises two possibilities. First, there are two possibilities. To save Simon and stop Balak, second. The two people were brought into the space to stop the fight. However, it raises the possibility that Cernet was an accomplice from the beginning. It is said that Grimoire must have known that Balak was trying to kill Simon, and since he cannot kill a student in the middle of the stadium, he may have tried to do it in space without anyone knowing.

Lorraine also thinks that Kazan knew something and was taken by Grimoire because he believed she was in the way, so she focuses on other purposes. Dick calms the situation and asks why Leonard brought them to the library when an evacuation order was issued, and Leonard says that **he knows a way to get to Grimoire's space .**

The group goes to the end of the library, holds each other's hands as Leonard explained, and begins to slowly walk around the library while Leonard holds hands.

Meanwhile. Grimoire pours a potion on Balak to prevent the Dark Book's rampage, creates a portal, and requests support to break through Balak's resistance. The organization says they will send **Kylovanian** , and Grimoire is embarrassed, but says it's nothing. Soon, Kilovanian walks out of the portal, and he prepares his black magic, thinking that he might have to fight in the worst case scenario.

Soon, Kilovanian sees Valak in a mess and asks if he is going to retrieve it now, but Grimoire says that he is adjusting the runaway secret book and that there is still something to use. Kilobanian seems to have noticed, but quits while trying to say something and goes to the treacherous commander. heading to a place

Kylovanian, who has climbed to the top of the library, soon confronts Jane and fights.

Meanwhile, in the Keygen Library, the party complained when Leonard's magic did not work, and Lorraine was calmly thinking about it, and conveyed the idea that there was a problem with the Grimoire necklace, which was the key. Cernet checked the necklace and found that the necklace was It is said that it was designed to contain a one-time entry and exit jet black, and if successful, the jet black is consumed and the formulas and coordinates inside collapse on their own.

Accordingly, Cerne attempts to reproduce the formula value through traces, and the remaining party members buy time by blocking the guards.

Meanwhile, Simon and Kazan were still breaking through the maze. Simon's condition was getting worse and time was running out. Simon decides to force himself to go over the maze, and Kazan is worried that even if he goes over it, the maze will get higher as well, but Simon tries, saying he just needs to get over it faster than that.

Meanwhile, while treating Balak, he senses that someone has entered the barrier and changes location, saying that if he is disturbed here, his and **Balak's lives will end.**

Meanwhile, Leonard and his party were fighting monsters as soon as they arrived at Grimoire's space. He has a hard time facing monsters he sees for the first time, but somehow manages to survive.

Three years ago, Grimoire was the only survivor that the Order tried to enroll in Kizen, and was tasked with eliminating Valak, who had escaped from the facility and entered Kizen to avoid being pursued. The two meet at the same club and become close friends, but Balak is suffering from the side effects of the cancer book and feels distraught when he learns that he will die without having to do anything.

Eventually, she soon reveals her true identity and Balak resigns and tells her to kill him. However, Grimoire does not do so, but rather performs surgery on Balak to learn the dark book and, when he is desperately urged to kill Balak, he bides his time by saying that Balak may be immune to the dark book. In this way, Balak became a strong man, defeated Azel, and became the student council president. However, soon Balak's condition was getting worse due to the cancer, and Grimoire suggested surgery, but he refused, saying that death is equal for everyone.

In response, Grimoire decided to save her life by extracting the dark book, which was considered a betrayal, and to do so, he needed to consume as much of the dark book's power as possible, so he decided to use Simon and ended up in the current situation.

She succeeds in completely removing the secret book and Balak opens her eyes. However, he is discovered by Kilovanian, who has defeated Jane, and Grimoire tries to persuade him, but Kilovanian considers Grimoire a traitor and fatally wounds him. Balak, enraged by this, attacks, but is easily defeated.

Then Jane, whom she thought she had defeated, appears and she is put back together. Meanwhile, Grimoire, in which her consciousness remained, transfers her location to her artifact held by Her Simone.

Meanwhile. Simone and Kazan, who were repeatedly going through her maze, see the location sent by Grimoire and use the interlude to quickly reach Grimoire's location. With her quick thinking, she cuts down the Kilovanian who was fighting Jane and discovers a portal to her Order's headquarters, which the Kilovanian blocks, but[36] Use the gap created by Jane to enter the portal.

Arriving beyond the portal, Simon enters a tower that appears to be the headquarters of the Order. The coordinates are contained in the artifact given by Kazan and tries to leave, but the portal is gradually closing and the distance is increasing, so as he ponders a way, Lorraine appears and uses her supernatural powers to open the portal. They escape, and Simon loses consciousness along the way.

Meanwhile. Outside the portal, Leonard and Jane encounter the group who were dealing with Kilobanian and desperate monsters. Grimoire dies and Valak, who is barely alive, is brought in by Leonard. Although he had a hard time dealing with the attacks of Kilobanian and the monsters, Cerne improved the formula and manipulated the monsters that were not subject to mental control to fight among themselves. Thanks to Kazanne and Jane who kept Simon in check so that he could go to the rift, Simon was able to fight with his companions. We could come back together.

Four days later, Simon wakes up in the hospital ward. Kylovanian retreated, Lorraine was discharged after two days, Leonard, who had fought until his death, recovered safely, and Valak was transferred to a special ward at Pentamonium as it was judged that treatment was impossible at the facilities of Rock Island Hospital alone, but he opened his eyes on the way and escaped, and Kigen We hear from Dick that Balak has been decided to be expelled.

Kizen revealed that this incident was the work of a gangster, that Valak accepted the result of the match and was expelled from school for attempting to murder a Kizen student, and that Grimoire, who assisted in this, was disappeared.

Currently, not only Kizen, but also the Dark Union and the Holy Union are in an uproar due to the actions of the group, and Kizen is again conducting an investigation into mental magic, which had been banned due to human rights issues. Those who violated the instructions and entered the barrier were exempted from disciplinary action, but were classified as level 1 for military purposes. It is said that a confidentiality order was issued.

Meanwhile, a crow agent appears to Balak, who is in a mountainous city in a certain region, and cajoles him by asking him if he wants revenge on the group that killed Grimoire. After hearing this, Balak reveals that he agrees

### Return of Simon's Student Council and Dragons (875-881)

Afterwards, Dick says there is good news and bad news, and the good news is that Sota's severe punishment has been confirmed. It is said that the fact of his crime was revealed in the 'Tongjing mental evaluation test', which was abolished due to political issues after his death, but was revived, and heavy punishment was confirmed. Dick said it would be difficult to avoid expulsion.

And the bad news is that there really is no need for it, and since Simon's return is so late, he will hold the installation ceremony right in the hospital room. Then the minions, Meilin, Kami, and Jane come in to congratulate them and accept Meyrin, Kami, and Dick as members of the student council again.

After some time, I was discharged safely and to fill the remaining volunteer time, I cleaned the swimming pool with Eshu, a work scholarship student. After that, the trainer says that Aaron is looking for him, so he comes to Rochester Port where Benya is located, and there he finally sees the 'dread heart', which is the key material for creating the Bone Dragon.

And, wanting to use it right away, he sent Aaron and Benya into the Bone Dragon subspace given to him by Nephthys, prepared according to Aaron's advice, and immediately inserted the Dread Heart and activated it. Then the Dread Heart begins to react and eventually shrinks, turning into the size of a deflated balloon. Although he is discouraged by this, Aaron says that he has not disappeared and that it remains in his body, and when asked the name of the dragon when he was alive, he replies that he does not know and decides to go to Pentamonium, thinking that he must first find out the dragon's identity.

Simon didn't go to Nephthys to ask about the dragon's identity, but when Aaron told him to stop going out for a long time, he thought he was going to the Pentamonium together, but Aaron said that he knew a dragon and that he would be able to find out if he asked him . Since the heart connection failed, they say they are going to get the 'Dragon's Breath' needed to create a new specification power device.

The weekend after that. Together with Aaron, he comes to the remote island of Stoneridge, where he meets the dragon Harhis. Harhis welcomes them and asks about the purpose of their visit. They say that Simon obtained the dragon's remains and that they came to check what kind of dragon it is. When they show them a picture of the dragon, it changes its appearance into a dragon and screams with dragon fear in its voice. The remains are of Myrmiz, who was called his teacher and 'advisor', and when he asks who got them and finds out that Nephthys had entrusted them to Simon

with the ability to detect the truth, he becomes even more angry and goes on a rampage.[37] In the end, Aaron sends Simon out and manages to calm Harhis down a few hours later.

After that, Aaron returned and went to sleep right away. Harhis called Simon aside and apologized for what happened earlier. When he saw Aaron risking his life to calm him down, he wondered why he would go to such lengths, and the reason Mirmiz died was before Simon was born. It is said that he summoned Simon after being told to check for himself what kind of person he was, just as he had given him the opportunity.
It is believed that even Nephthys did not kill Myrmiz out of self-interest, and the evidence is that he gave the remains to Simon, who was not even born at the time. Eventually, he asks Simon, curious about what kind of person he is.

Meanwhile. In Keygen, when Jane says she will send the second graders to a deadly site under the pretense of a two-week long-term mission evaluation , Stacey and Preston stop them. However, Jane knows well how much the 329th students have grown and how active they have been, so he decides to trust their skills and takes full responsibility himself.
Back to the remote island of Stone Ridge. Harhis spoke with Simon and was satisfied after hearing Simon's humanity, and the next day. He hands over 'Dragon's Breath', a material that can replace the Dreadheart, and warns that once the Bone Dragon is completed, it must not be discovered by other dragons.

When he returns to Loch Island, he hears that Mojo has come to visit and that Meilin is looking for him. Same time. The student council was in an uproar with complaints from club leaders who had been called in, but since Sota had been spending money on useless things, there was not much money left, and now club funds were the problem. In the meantime, the new student council released a large amount of funds to the clubs that followed them, creating an non-ideal situation.

To solve this problem, club leaders who had received a lot of funding were gathered together and they began to protest. Just when the atmosphere was about to get tense, Simon appeared and his intimidation instantly brought silence.

Simon sits down and asks what's the problem. Then, the managers hesitantly decided to accept the club funds and said that it was nonsense to cut it like this when they knew that was the case and had already worked on it. As Simon continued to listen quietly, they gradually raised their voices and protested.

Simon, who heard the protest, had Mojo bring the document and read out loud the content in the document in which they supported Balak, and the managers protested, asking what they were doing. When it was said that the document was a budget correction for the second semester that Ballack's student council had requested from the department heads, a club manager protested, asking what right he had to read something that was discussed with the former student council. What the directors said earlier was that it was the same whether it was the former student council or the current student council. When I try to refute it with words, I am speechless.

When they came up with the logic that they too were victims, they decided to accept the budget freeze and cuts according to the original standards. As a bonus, Dick threatened to expose everything they had done for the Balak Student Council in the newspaper, so some of the department heads had no choice but to make corrections. They accepted the plan, but the heads of other departments, including the newspaper department, came out saying they were double-crossed.

At this time, Leonard comes in, and Simon tells the department heads, who do not understand the situation, that he has appointed Leonard as the student council's auditor, and because he could face severe punishment, they eventually accept the correction.

Simon goes outside to give Leonard a tour of the student center facilities, and when Maylin and Kami also go out, Dick, the person in charge, tries to get signatures on the amendment. Then, Tay insults Simon by saying that he was lying on his back, but Dick reacts calmly, which makes the managers embarrassed and insults him in return by saying that he was only doing his job as a merchant and that you have to look out for him.

He then tells Tei to hand over the position of manager to a first-year student, and when Tei gets angry and tries to throw a curse, his minions come in and stop him, and he eventually accepts.

## Senior Year

### Saving the Shaded Kingdom (984-1000)

Richard and Anna, who heard Nephthys's words, object, but Simon agrees to Nephthys' words, vowing to prevent the association and clear the stigma of being a traitorous army.

Nephthys responds by saying that there is a wall that must be overcome in order to do so, and that is the Kingdom of Shahed. Since Shahed was one of the countries that suffered directly from the Legion of Betrayal incident in the past, it is said that they would be most bothered if it were made public that Simon was the commander of the 7th Legion.

They say there is an opportunity to change their public opinion, and that is through **the rescue of the king and his wife captured by the gang and the liberation of their territory** . The king and his wife say that in their hometown, Bell Heights, a strange magic spell cast by a presumed member of the Order created something like a gray wall, and many necromancers tried to enter but failed, and two weeks passed like that.

They tried using the 'portal' made with the death-defying technology, but the coordinates got distorted, perhaps because of the wall, and they were sent to another place. And since the current Shahed Kingdom was in a situation where the princes' rebellion could occur at any time, Simon had to solve this problem within at least 5 days, and if he could not, he would resort to somewhat drastic measures.

Afterwards, Simon goes to Peer's ruins and asks Peer to summon all the captains and hears from Alazee a report that Mur's warship has been controlled.

Eventually, he uses a teleportation magic circle to see the ship that was taken from Mur in the Frost Field guarded by Gyros. According to Alaze, it is a biological ship controlled by the undead. Immediately after that, he activates the battleship and takes his seat following Allajeh's instructions.

He then talks about the ship's capabilities, saying it can warp to a stored location. There were currently 5 locations registered, and Simon guessed that he was trying to get them back somehow because the places that were very important to Mur were recorded on the ship. First, I decided to go to one of the five places and arrived at Lake Critello in the southwestern part of the Dark Alliance.

Then, looking at the bottom of the lake, there were some eggs there, and Alaze sensed the pitch blackness of Mur from these eggs. In other words, Mur **was mass training undead in the five marked locations.** Accordingly, Simon saves the location to burn it once the Shahed Kingdom incident is over.

Soon after, he moved to the next location and this time he arrived at Mekria Grassland. He moved to the next location, but perhaps he had moved too far and lost consciousness on the way. He gets off the ship and is amazed when he sees the place.

That place **was none other than the Shadow Castle, the hideout of the 5th Legion.** Simon wonders if Magnus and Mur are in a cooperative relationship, but he denies it, saying he cannot be certain. Once he's here, he goes to take care of what he couldn't take because he had to rush out during the battle with the 5th Legion. However, if an abnormal phenomenon is artificially created, it is possible to form a passage, but since this is not possible inside the castle and the conditions are difficult, they decide to test it later and move to another place.

However, when he is told that he may be able to move but fail to return due to lack of fuel, he decides to return to Frost Field. He returns like that and meets Kazan there. Kazan says he came with instructions to brief him on the Shahed incident. He heard the general story and is worried that it could be a harsh ordeal, but after hearing Simon's pledge that he has already made up his mind, he agrees to help.

Eventually, the captains of the corps gather and Kazan's briefing begins. According to the briefing, the 'gray wall' surrounding Bell Heights is not a barrier, but it is unknown what it is, and if you try to pass through it, it **will be torn to pieces.** It is said that heat, radio waves, and curses do not work, and even if a strong force is applied, it only disperses slightly, but smoke fills up and returns to its original form, and it has the property of blocking mana, making it impossible to look inside.

When Simon asks what will happen if it cannot be destroyed within 5 days, Kazan says that he will use an asymmetrical power destruction weapon to remove the wall. But if it is used, the chances of the people inside being safe will be slim.

After the briefing, as the corps captains disperse throughout the ruins to collect their troops, they call Simon aside and give him advice on politics.[38] The next day, after seeing Peer, Simon, dressed in armor, that is, in Peon state, goes to the vicinity of Bell Heights territory through Kizen's teleportation magic.

As Simon, wearing Peer's Bone Armor, approaches, the guards keep Simon in check, and soon the second prince of Shahed Kingdom, who leads the Necromancer Guard, approaches, asking for a conversation. However, contrary to what they said, the kingdom's soldiers raised their weapons at Simon, and Simon **warned that it was not because he could not use his troops.**

At those words, the Second Prince tried to get angry at Simon, telling him that he was subject to an extermination order, but the elderly necromancer who had summoned several blood golems[39] He dissuades the second prince, saying that it is wrong to antagonize the corps commander. When the second prince heard those words and stepped back, the elderly necromancer thanked Simon for coming, but asked him to step down as this was the kingdom's business.

However, Simon hands him a request, saying he received a request from Nephthys. The elderly necromancer receives it, confirms that the request is genuine, and sends a signal to the second prince, who reluctantly retreats.[40] Immediately afterwards, when Simon demands that the second prince hand over the royal badge he was wearing to facilitate the rescue of the king and his wife, the second prince becomes furious.

At that time, a large light appears somewhere else, and the first prince in the royal capital comes to the Belle Heights domain with his Necromancer Guard. Immediately afterwards, he heard something in a whisper from one of his subordinates, who said that he would hand Simon the emblem of his royal family.

Meanwhile, in Keygen, Lorraine criticizes Simon for sending him to Bell Heights alone and declares that she will run away from home to help Simon right in front of her.

Simon enters the tent under the guidance of the 1st prince, and the 1st prince asks why he came here when there are several places where the guild can be captured. Simon replies that he is only going to the place where the guild is located and that he will leave if he will not hand over his emblem. At that time, the 1st Prince offered to give 30 times as much gold in return for the 7th Legion to return quietly as it is, and proposed that if he became king, he would lift the extermination order and change his foreign policy to a friendly policy toward the 7th Legion.

Simon was dumbfounded and asked if he was going to let the parents who gave birth to him die. When he calmly replied that he loved him too, but this was his **country 's business, he got excited and grabbed the first prince by the collar. Then, soldiers and necromancers who were hiding came out and prepared to attack.**

Simon pressures him, saying that he will have to prove that this incident has nothing to do with Prince 1, but Prince 1 says in a low voice that the king and queen are incompetent kings and queens who cannot deal with the situation, that this is reality, and that someone must make a decision. Upon hearing this, Simon feels contempt and leaves.

Afterwards, as Simon prepared to enter Belle Heights, he heard a report from Erzébet that someone was coming, and said that an errand boy had come to deliver something, which was the emblem of the royal family. He said that it was sent by the 3rd prince, and it is unclear whether the 3rd prince did this for her parents' sake or because he made a political judgment in a situation that was unfavorable to him, but it was true that he received help.

Later that night, while climbing the cliff, Simon is interrupted by the ambushed troops of the 1st and 2nd princes, but easily breaks through with the help of Peer and Erzebet. Eventually, he arrives at the top and attempts to enter the wall of gray smoke using original distortion and vortex. Although it took a lot of mental energy, I persevered until the end and succeeded in entering.

Simon, who enters Bell Heights, is astonished at the cityscape that is revealed.

### Council of Commanders (1001-1005)

With the Kingdom of Shahed absolving the 7th legion of their sins, Nefthis moves to silence all other opposing voices throughout the Dark Alliance. With all the preparations set, she decided to announce the identity of the 7th Legion Commander about 2 days before the start of the 3rd year.

Simon approves of her decision but hates the fact that he couldn't tell his friends himself. Not wanting them to find out through the newspaper, he writes letters to the other members of the Student Council to explain that Pion and himself were the same person. Rick and Camiberaz both vaguely knew the truth. But Meilyn collapses out of sheer shock.

By Nefthis orders, all the remaining Legion Commanders in the continent were to meet at Kizen. The Ghost Princess, the Commander of the 4th Legion. The Southern Admiral, the Commander of the 3rd Legion. And the northern Archduke, Jean Arskalt, the Commander of the 2nd Legion. All gather in Kizen at the Witch of Death's call.

The Commander of the 1st Legion did not respond to Nefthis summons. While the 6th Legion Commander, known as the Regent, was busy dealing with a separate incident at the time. With Magnus dead, all the remaining Commanders have assembled. The reason why Nefthis summoned them was to make sure they don't attack Simon once his identity is announced.

Besides Jean, the response of the Commanders were less than ideal. Knowing full well the power of the 7th Legion's Ancient Undead that now absorbed the 5th Legion was incredibly tempting. They also point out that the Betrayal incident directly brought harm to the 1st Legion. So even if they didn't move, the 1st Commander might risk making Kizen an enemy to destroy the 7th Legion.

In response, Nefthis declares that she will side with the 7th Legion and absorb the 1st Legion into it should they fight.

As the Council of Commanders continue, the 6th Commander had entered an extremely dangerous dungeon inside the Dresden Kingdom. With him were 500 elite necromancers. Despite this force, they were being destroyed by the Dungeon Lord within the dungeon.

Hector, who had all his confidence and pride broken by the appearance of Simon's Bone Dragon, entered the dungeon as well. But his goal was twisted by a dangerous ambition. Taking advantage of the chaos, he found the heavily wounded 6th Commander and killed him. The Marshal of the 6th Legion tested Hector and was impressed by his endless greed for power.

Signing the contract, Hector's power increased enough to fight against the Dungeon Lord. Under the orders of the 6th Legion's Marshal, he even dies under the Dungeon Lord's attack. Fulfilling the orders of the Ancient Undead, the Marshal fuses with Hectors body turning him into a half-undead.

### Out of the Shadows (1006-1008)

The Dark Alliance Summit was held, where Simon would reveal himself as the commander of the 7th Corps. Simon was clearly nervous before work, but he said he couldn't put it off any longer despite Lorain's worries, so he attended. Seeing familiar faces helped him catch his breath a little. Arthur, the current mercenary king, also attends, meets with Simon, and talks with him. Simon apologizes for not being able to tell him in advance. Arthur says it's okay and that he has come to respect him more, thus relieving Simon's burden.

An hour later, the full-fledged meeting begins, and as previously announced, Nefthis leads the meeting by talking about solidarity and permits to express one's opinion freely. Lord Padr said that it seems like the Alliance and Kizen are not responding properly and that rather than paying huge taxes, it would be better to hire private soldiers and necromancers from each country and territory at that cost, and that the Alliance's support is concentrated in large cities with a large population. Regarding the dissatisfaction of the lords of the small estate, Nefthis says she understands, but she couldn't fix all their problems as one person. At the same time, the headquarters is doing its best, but the reason the number of victims continues to increase is because the organization's headquarters is rooted in another dimension, appropriately changing the mood. The plan is to chase them down to the level where they are hiding and root them out and mentions recent achievements to confirm that there has been some progress. Then, she introduces the 7th Legion Commander as the person who has caused the greatest damage to the Order.

Naturally, there is an outcry from those who have been harmed by the Legion of Betrayal, but King Shahed himself takes the stand and silences the crowd by mentioning what happened in Bell Heights. However, King Carlos comes forward and pressures them, saying that there are some people whose past is more important than the future and that since it is unclear whether the 7th Legion commander, who has appeared with his face covered, is a saboteur or Yona, he must reveal his face to be able to talk properly. However, Simon was already planning to reveal his identity, so he took off his helmet without hesitation, and the fact that the student council president of Kizen was the 7th Legion Commander caused confusion at the meeting. Nefthis says that over the past two years, Simon has intervened in major issues, including the Plema attack, the Tarados incident, and the Riveron incident, helping to resolve them and that Kizen sees him as a key talent for the future and is training him. However, Beniroda, the lord of Heukgwangseong Castle, who opposed the 7th Legion the most, asked whether Simon was related to Yona or not, and Simon mentioned that he met Yona and inherited his army, causing chaos in the crowd.

Despite the swearing and verbal abuse, Simon remained calm and revealed that he had no intention of turning his eyes away from his sins and that if he concluded that there was no reason for him and the Legion to step forward, he would, of course, give up the Legion. He also says he will disappear after resigning from his position as student council president of Kizen. A promising proposal to some. But Serene immediately stepped forward and silenced opposition, declaring that the Ivory Tower affirmed the 7th Legion and that all hostile acts against Simon were hostile acts against the Ivory Tower. Serene mentions that the former owner of the Ivory Tower fell into a conspiracy and almost collapsed the entire organization and that the 7th Legion commander, who saved them without any compensation, proved through his actions that he was different from the days when he was called the Legion of Betrayal, regardless of whether he was related to Yona or not. Furthermore, depending on Serene point of view, the Legion of Betrayal incident may have been the cause of the 100 Years' War ending sooner than it could have.

After Serene's opinion, the Dwarf King of Grand Forge came forward and expressed his support, saying that although the perception of the treacherous Legion Commander was not good, it would be a different story if he were Simon Pollentia and that Grand Forge and all Dwarves recognized the 7th Legion. Unlike Serene, he was someone who fought on the front lines while experiencing the past 100 years of war and the betrayal of the Legion of Betrayal, so the Dwarf King's remarks had a distinct weight. Shun, the young lord of Blue Harbor who received help from Simon and General Amin the new lord of Tarados also expressed support. Here, Pentamonia, the Farona Peninsula, the mercenaries represented by Arthur, the Thieves' Guild to which Kazan belongs, Northern Kalos, Vilkenos, Riveron, and Frigod Autonomous Regions successively declare that they affirm the 7th Legion. Simon sees that the people he has met through missions and dispatches, the people he has helped, and the people he has built relationships with over the past two years are taking his side, and he feels that what he has done over the years has not been in vain.

With more than half of the votes in favor, Simon and the 7th Legion were finally able to operate freely in the sun, and Simon expressed his feelings that he would prove that this choice was right. However, the commander of the 1st Corps, who was not present, and the lord under Hale, request a conversation, saying that he has something to say urgently, and Jane cuts him off, saying that he has no right to speak unless he attends. Then, Hale appears in the form of a huge eye through the crystal ball and shows hostility, saying that he will kill Simon.

Nefthis intervenes and is criticized for turning the 7th Legion into an ally and making him into her enemy. To this, Nephthys responds by saying that he has become strange since losing 'her' and that he is a burning powder keg and a bystander. Hale sarcastically calls Nefthis a self-righteous monster cursed by time, says that the war between the legions will be unstoppable and that time will tell whether her choice is right, and then disappears.

Various things happened, but in the end, Simon and the 7th Legion were officially recognized and officially able to operate, and the third-year course finally began.

### Senior Year Begins (1009-1022)

After Simon's status as a Legion commander was announced to the world, his life as a third-year student at Kizen began. At the beginning of the new semester, new students of the 331st class arrived, and Simon will lead the new students in Dresden again and prepare for the entrance ceremony.

Reuniting with the other members of the Student Council, both Rick and Camibarez reveal they already realized Simon's secret and treat him cheerfully as usual. Meilyn on the other hand treats Simon particularly awkwardly. When Simon sees Meilyn like that, he thinks that she is either mad or awkward about him keeping such an important secret for so long. Of course, this was Simon's grave misunderstanding, and in truth, when Meilyn found out that the Fion she admired and liked was Simon, the commander of the 7th Legion, her heart pounded and she was so embarrassed that even facing him made her heart explode.

Afterwards, while patrolling the entrance ceremony hall, he meets Cindy, Claudia, and Jamie, his first-year A class friends. Each of them tells him various things about Simon's identity and gives him comfort and advice. After meeting the three people, Simon asks about Meilyn. As soon as they hear her name, all three people realize what is going on and suppress their laughter.

Cindy was going to reveal the truth when Jamie and Claudia block her mouth. Reassuring Simon that things will work out just fine later. Simon also lets it go for now. Meanwhile, Jean appears and asks his friends for a conversation with the student council president. After exchanging greetings, Jean informs Simon of the death of the regent, the commander of the 6th Legion, and of Hector's ascension to the Legion commander, and also informs him that they will attend the legion studies that will be held after the semester begins. After hearing this, Simon has mixed feelings, wondering what happened, and breaks up with Jean to attend the school opening ceremony.

At her opening ceremony, Jane predicts a rigorous and difficult third year, and she introduces Eisel, announcing that he has returned for his third year with a repeat grade. She then goes on to say that there are two Legion commanders this school year alone. Along with Jean, there would three Legion Commanders on campus. So she warns everyone not to be surprised if they see a large number of undead or ancient undead around campus.

Also, while causing trouble regarding the Legion commander issue, dueling and retaliation, spreading rumors, or revealing information about the Legion commander to the outside are all prohibited. Since the issue related to the Legion commander is a sensitive matter, Jane also sharply says that she hopes her worries are for nothing, and then announces the new ranking of third graders from 15th to 1st. Of course Simon is first place.

Once he returns to the dorms, everyone in the Summoning Department head up to the top floors of the tree to get their new rooms. Simon, as the top student of the Summoning Department, received one of the best rooms in the entire dorm. As he was settling in, Professor Aaron arrives.

Aaron reveals he vaguely suspected Simon's identity from his experience with Magnus, but wanted to deny it to the very end. He tells Simon it was fine for him to focus on his Legion classes instead of normal summoning. Of which Simon denies stating he still wanted to learn as much about Summoning as he could from Professor Aaron.

With the two reaffirming their relationship, Professors Hong Feng and Belya arrive to celebrate as well. Both realized Simon's identity since the grasslands incident and had no problem about it. Professor Bahil appears for the celebration and declares war on the other professors by directly handing Simon a book of customized curses specially designed to be used by Legion Commanders. Of which the other professors protest saying Simon should learn their studies more as well.

Despite how hard it will be, Simon enthusiastically states he'll learn everything they're willing to teach him.

With comfort knowing that his professors still trust him, Simon heads over to Piers ruins. Along the way, he is ambushed by a black dragon who attacks him out of nowhere. In a frightened panic, Simon quickly summons Prince and fights against the dragon with his Ancient Undead. As the battle progresses, Pier arrives and attaches himself to Simon.

He reveals the identity of the dragon was Hector, the new Commander of the 6th Legion. Hector announces how delighted he felt when he pushed Simon back just now. As well as how he'll continue to do so in the future as he gathers more strength.

The Kizen Watchmen arrive interrupting their fight and the pair separate for the battles to come. To prepare, Simon warns the rest of his legion to Hector's transformation.

The third-year begins in full. Starting with Hong Feng Jane's lectures on administrative work. With their power as third-year Kizen student's, they now have much more power and responsibilities. Involving a lot of paperwork that Kizen used to do for them. This kind of paperwork involves all kinds of different wartime orders from different countries.

In the following class with Professor Hong Feng, Simon excels in the lesson. But a faction of students now gossip and believe that the only reason for Simon's success was due to using the power of the Legion. Rick takes note of every member in that faction and assures Simon he'll take care of it.

Once their morning classes were over, the third-years assemble for the arrival of the second-years who will be choosing their major. Unlike the previous decades, the Summoning Department which was filled with several big names, received an excess of popularity and was quickly filled up. Even before the Curse and Jet-Black Mechanic Departments were.

After settling in the second-years, Professor Jane summons Simon to the Student Council and tells him that since the third-graders will start going out on more missions more frequently, it would be for the best to recruit a few additional students from the second and first years. From the second-years, Arthur joined the Student Council along with the new Special Admission #1, Chiella Martello.

Things get off to a rocky start when Chiella announces her belief in that Kizen's meritocracy is outdated and that people who naturally rule and lead civilization should naturally be held superior. The fact that she had to bow her head towards a second-generation countryside Baron like Simon was a great humiliations. She found it unnatural that the heir of the Villenne Family, and the daughter of the Vampire Lord, were both serving underneath Simon.

Despite threatening to annihilate Simon and the Polentia family once she becomes a Third-Year herself, the members of the student council just laugh it off thinking that the first year was being cute.

Simon takes Chiella to the roof and asks her about her belief in why noble families should be respected. She responds that the bloodlines of long lasting families who contribute to humanity should naturally be respected. That's why Simon gave Chiella her first mission. Which was to investigate and try to stop the first-year noble students who are currently abusing their authority to bully and harm first-year commoner students.

Enraged by the actions of her fellow nobles, Chiella announces she'll solve the crimes without fail.

In the Poisonous Alchemy Class, Professor Belya has the students drink the Drug of Death that caused mass mayhem throughout the continent to build resistance. Camibarez's vampire instincts go wild for a brief period of time.

Chiella investigates the incident among her first-years and discovers the culprit. But due to his status, she becomes wary of intervention. Under Simon's questioning, she reveals the culprit to be Berotron Grimwain. The son of Duchess Grimwain and the 3rd Commander of the Legion.

They investigate Rochester to find catch him committing misdeeds and split up. Chiella, who investigated in advance, already knows where all the crimes take place and goes directly there. Once she arrives, she witnesses Berotron beating up students whose families are beneath him.

She tries to stop him, but fails to muster her authority over him. Her own territory relies from imports that pass through his own, antagonizing him will only make her own people suffer. Knowing that, he doesn't feel the need to listen to her despite her entry into the Student Council.

Before Berotron could further humiliate Chiella, Simon arrives and proceeds to beat him up. Once handcuffed and arrested, they wait by Rochester square where Simon called for some help.

Beratron tries to threaten Simon over and over. With the first-year student protection period in place, Simon was limited in how he could punish him. Saying he'll get his revenge sooner or later. His confidence and pride were quickly broken down when the highest ranking members of Dresden's upper class, Elissa and Mollie, arrive and side with Simon.

They help put the incident to rest once and for all.

### Commander Classes (1023-1029)

Jean Arskalt's Legionnaire Classes begin with Simon and Hector competing for control over the Screaming Jungle.

### To Reach the Sky (1030-1056)

Major specific classes have started again at Kizen alongside administrative classes. In his very first class, Professor Aaron announces the goal of the semester. Much like his advance pace of creating both a Dullahan and Corrupted Death Knight in the second-year, the aim contains and extraordinary degree of ambition.

He want's all students to start creating a Swarm type Undead Airship. Like the one's he uses himself. The main ingredient is the Level 9 Monster known as the King of Beasts, the Behemoth.

To achieve this, Agent Alister of the Crow's comes to the class and gives the Summoning Department students a classified mission. From information they obtained from the Savior Simon captured, the organization has a plan that involves the Behemoths in the Neutral Zone. The 3rd year students of the Summoning Department were assigned to investigate. At the same time, they were to hunt down the Behemoths.

Their training begins with first creating a basic colony type undead capable of producing a swarm. Both Simon and Hector have issues with their training and receive consultation from Jean. During which, Jean reveals some new abilities that a Legion Commander can use with both Summon-type Undead and Legion-type Undead.

With as much of their prep work done as possible, the entire third-year summoning department mobilizes for their mission. They take an Airship to one of the most peaceful places in the Neutral Zone. A resort island out in the sea with an abnormally low percentage of monsters. It's quickly revealed that it's only peaceful for 99% percent of the year. Because once a year, the Behemoths come and absolutely desolate the island for their spawning season.

After a day of rest, the department splits up into ten groups to investigate the island itself, a nearby city far from the island, and several other nearby islands. Simon's team is charged with investigating the island. With both the goal of investigating the activities of the Organization and make contact with the local residents.

This was how Simon met Alita, a young member of the native inhabitants who live on the island. There, he learns about their unusual culture that ultimately leads to them offering themselves into the Behemoth itself. He also meets and fights the village chief, a man named Vibron who was powerful enough to force Simon into wearing Pier. After leaving, Alita tells Simon about the mysterious survival of Vibron after he offered himself to the Behemoths.

The other teams start their investigative work as well. But one team met the catastrophe known as the Behemoth who arrived at the island early and nearly killed the entire group. Elsewhere, Fitzgerald, searches through the history of the islands and discovered they've been deceived in believing the Behemoths come to the island for their mating season. Hectors group manages to destroy an entire criminal cartel that was selling the Drugs of Death, and after interrogating the leader, discovers that there was some kind of treasure hidden on the Behemoth Island. Another group finds out that the treasure was being guarded by a man named Vibron.

Simon meets up with Alita again. Only to find out she has become designated as the next offering to be sacrificed to the Behemoth. Under Simon's persuasion, she revealed that she wanted to live. So Simon left her in the care of Kizen and headed towards the village again. There, he saw Vibron using the special portal magic only used by the organization and leaving the village. Simon was unable to catch him and learns of the Behemoth's early attack. Although it took some convincing, he managed to get all the villagers to safety.

Through their collective communication, Fitzgerald reveals to everyone the truth behind the Behemoth's behavior. In the past, a dungeon appeared under the sea. The Lord of the Ivory Tower at the time risked his life to destroy it and tried to bring back a special artifact found inside. But was unable to bring it out of the sea and returned home without it. Years later, the new tower master learned that the artifact was releasing a strange signal that attracted behemoths into the sea and destroying large amounts of sea life. So he took the artifact and brought it far away from the continent to what he believed was an uninhabited island. Unaware of the doom and suffering he brought to Alita's ancestors.

Now, the organization was planning on using Vibron to obtain the artifact and use it to control the Behemoths. Understanding their plan, the summoning students moved to counter them. Hector led everyone to the city on Orjava where the Behemoths were being attracted too and set up their defenses alongside the cities defensive army.

This action was not met well by the secretary of the island. Vestiola Bytron didn't want Kizen's influence growing on the island city and tried to deny Kizen's actions as a violation of the Neutral Zone agreement. Even going as far as to invite Priests to the island. These issues were dealt with by Serene who easily incapacitated the priests and controlled Vestiola into signing the proper documents. Saying that it was her responsibility as the current Lord to clean after her predecessors mistakes.

One of Kizen's teams managed to find Vibron and engaged him in battle. Only to be defeated by his mysterious power of invulnerability. They were captured but later rescued by another team. Thanks to that, Simon received a report about Vibron's abilities and thought of a way to fight him. But since he had to find one first, he had Alaze take control of one of the Behemoths and used it to locate the artifact Vibron was controlling.

Vibron's ability was absolute survival. Making him immune to all forms of damage. Even capable of resisting the Great Sword of Destruction. Leaving Simon at a loss in how to defeat him. Taking a gamble, he summoned a huge number of undead to fight against Vibron as a legion. Vibrons ability forced him to concentrate on a past memory to stimulate his desire to survive. But against Simon's legion, his mental power waned.

The two of them faced off in a war of attrition to see who would falter first. Vibron lost and tried to attack Simon and was ambushed by his strongest summons. Faltering, his ability couldn't be maintained and Vibron was captured by Alaze in a state similar to suspended animation. Taking the artifact, Simon headed to the rest of the summoning students.

Under the lead of Hector and the 6th Legion, Lorain, and Serene, they managed to kill several Behemoths and protect the city when Simon showed up. With Serene's help, he led them away from the city. Drawing the entire group of Behemoths far into the ocean into they settled down on a small island. Not risking the same mistake, they instead work together to open a gateway into the Black Castle Dungeon that Magnus previously used as a base and dropped it in there.

With the artifact safely in another dimension, the Behemoths were free from its attraction and left the island. Having succeeded in their mission, obtaining materials, and most of all, surviving the onslaught of Level 9 Monsters, all the students of Kizen celebrate.

Only for their joy to be short lived when learning that the lord of Orjava and his son were both killed in the Behemoth attack. The now lord was secretary Vestiola who wanted Kizen to leave immediately. He went as far as to invite an Arch Paladin Zalkon and his forces to the island to kill the now exhausted Legion Commanders.

Professor Aaron intervene stating that they were given permission by the lord to remain as long as the Behemoth threat still existed. So the students made a quick illusion to create fake behemoth noises. Under the Neutral Zone Agreement, the Arch Paladin would risk severe punishment if he attacked them. So Zalkon gave Kizen 10 hours to leave the island.

In truth, Zalkon had no intention of keeping his word. With the achievement of killing two Legion Commanders, both who were still young and currently exhausted from fighting, he could easily wash away any any other issues. Knowing that he had those kinds of ambitions, Simon disguised himself and entered the camp of the paladins. Using his powerful Divinity as way to obtain a meeting with Zalkon.

Simon introduced himself as Saintess Israfil's investigator who was dispatched to monitor the situation. Telling the Arch Paladin that the Saintess will not be pleased with his unilateral decision to break the Neutral Zone Agreement. But Zalkon was suspicious of Simon's identity. He didn't want to lose the chance to kill the Commanders and challenged Simon at every chance. In the end, he decided to kill Simon and risk facing Israfil's ire after he killed the Holy Federation's greatest enemies.

Not wanting to get into that kind of trouble, the Arch Paladin's subordinates convinced him to first contact Israfil. If he was telling the truth, then they wouldn't be able to survive harming Simon. When they did so, they found out that Saintess Israfil had left the Sky Island at the time. So they were unable to confirm Simon's claims. Just as Zalkon's patience was about to dry up, Rete took over the communication.

Using a phrase only recognizable between them, Simon managed to reveal his identity to Rete. Who immediately used all her authority to force Zalkon and his forces to return to the Holy Federation. When he tried to plead his case by threatening to kill the Legion Commander Simon and giving the achievement to her, Rete dropped a meteorite on their building.

Thanking Rete for her help, they agree to continue contacting each other before ending their communication. With the issue of the Paladin's taken care of, Simon had one more issue he had to deal with.

Fearing retaliation after the Paladin's left, Vestiola ran home to the Bytron family back in the Baldwin Kingdom. In truth, he tried to take over Orjava to secure the riches hidden within a mineral deposit discovered underneath. As well as his connection with the Organization who was supporting his ambition. He was planning on remaining in the safety of the Bytron mansion under the protection of their soldiers and countless mercenaries he hired so that he can return to Orjava and take control when Kizen leaves.

Contrary to Vestiola's expectations, Simon arrives with Pier and forcefully enters the mansion grounds and apprehends him. Vestiola tried to threaten Simon, saying that by harming a member of the Bytron family and Lord of a Neutral Zone territory, all the effort Simon put in to clear the 7th Legion's name would be erased.

Simon reveals that Kizen and the thieves guild, led by Kajann, had investigated the secretary. They discovered that the criminal cartels in Orjava were operating under Vestiola's orders to sell the organizations drugs. As well as interviewing witnesses who all saw Vestiola push the previous Lord and his son into the Behemoths path. With enough evidence on his side, Simon had no fear of repercussion punished Vestiola.

Once Simon returned to the island, he found the other students playing with the native people. He informed them that the Lordship of Orjava was handed over to the Defense Commander. A man who cooperated with Kizen to fight the Behemoths from the beginning. But Simon told Alita that the Dark Alliance had only one condition to supporting him. Which was to declare this island as a protected area and protect it from outsiders. A condition the Defense Commander had no problems agreeing to.

### Undead Parade (1057-1070)

With the Behemoth corpses, it's time for the Summoning Department to start constructing their Undead Warships. Professor Aaron then reveals that their Behemoth Battleships were to be used in the upcoming Undead Parade being hosted by Pandemonium. Where the minimum requirement is to received a reward from the event. With their goal in mind, the students of the Summoning Department all begin constructing their newest undead.

The construction process came along smoothly. Thanks to extra funds secured by Rick who helped sell their excess Behemoth parts, the students were able to get help from professional undead craftsman to assemble and customize their Behemoth Battleships. Each with their own unique properties and attributes.

Simon took his battleship to the Vanilla Company to meet with Benya. Together with her, Professor Aaron, and the undead Alahze, they begin constructing the Behemoth Battleship that Simon envisioned. One that combines the best attributes of Summoned-Type Undead, Legion-Type Undead, and his own Royal Guard Summons. Although there were some difficulties along the way, they managed to come to agreement in regards to the undead construction.

During the time, Simon began having doubts about his idea. Having felt that something was missing from the design. With all the specialists in Summoning helping him, he realized that during his years at Kizen, past learning Cloud, he barely advanced in Hemomancy at all. Which was half the power of the Royal Guards. Together with Camiberaz, he paid a visit to Professor Patton, the current head of the Hemomancy Department.

After making a deal with the professor, Simon managed to learn a new way to empower his Royal Guards. After training with Camiberaz to master the new ability, he successfully installed it into his Behemoth Battleship.

### Tomatoes and the Demon Sword (1070-1086)

Simon investigates the 1st Legion and discovers they are trying to make use of a Demon Sword to find the graves of the Empire's knights.
