Episode 1124
In his heart, Simon wanted to convey the story he heard from Nephthys to his classmates without adding or subtracting it.
In particular, the fact that the Order may be collecting people’s negative emotions, and to counter this, Nephthys is trying to focus the attention of the continent’s people by opening the Rune League. Even the fact that the organization may move because of this.
But this was a top secret. It is also dangerous for the information that Nephthys is paying attention to ’emotion’ to leak to the ears of the group.
So, I adapted the facts appropriately and told them.
“Nephthys said that this rune league will be made into a large-scale event that will attract attention from the entire continent.”
In addition to the diplomatic reasons of preventing unnecessary battles with the Holy Federation before attacking the Order’s stronghold, the Rune League gathers the attention of those who have been exhausted by the Order’s offensive, and provides new topics and hope to those who have fallen into despair. is another purpose.
Naturally, there was even a message telling people to be careful because if many people were watching, the possibility of a gang attack would increase.
Everyone nodded as if they understood the clear, flowing explanation.
“This event is different from other events I have experienced at Keygen. It is natural to demonstrate your honed skills, and you must make efforts to attract the attention of the people of the continent. “It might be our first entertainment experience.”
Simon took a deep breath and looked around.
“Let’s show people who we are. You must actively participate in interviews with reporters and speak with as much confidence as possible. “This is also Nephthys’ instructions.”
“So emotional labor? “He dressed me up in expensive and pretty clothes.”
Claudia, ranked 10th overall, tucked her long hair behind her ear and continued.
Jules, who had been waiting quietly, also said something.
“I thought I only had to face the Priest in the stadium, but why is the preparation process taking longer than I thought?”
“of course.”
The Rune League is being held for the first time in 80 years, and it is a festival for all citizens of the continent. There is no way it will end with a bang like some school duel evaluation. There are a lot of procedures to go through, including camp training and secret missions in the federal government. This entire process was part of the Rune League.
“Ah, people who don’t like it, leave! “Is this also part of politics?”
Sigh!
Elisa spread a luxurious fan used by noble ladies to cover her mouth and let out a wry smile.
“Every single thing that people care about is my strength and power! Since they put you on such a big plate, you should eat it deliciously, right? exciting!”
Meilin put her index finger to her lips and smiled faintly.
“It might be a good opportunity to build my own recognition beyond Cernet.”
“I will work hard too! Simon!”
Camivarez clenched his fists in front of his chest.
“It would be great if the people of the continent could gain even just a little strength from our appearance!”
Each person showed enthusiasm according to their role and circumstances.
Hector gave a long yawn and frowned.
“I will do it because it is an order, but it is useless. “Winning against Afnel comes first.”
‘But that’s what they say.’
Simon smiled quietly. Hector has not yet received full recognition from the continent’s people regarding the regent and 6th legion issues.
At this rate, I may be attacked by former necromancers the moment I graduate from Keygen. For Hector, this Rune League schedule will be an opportunity to further solidify his position as commander of the 6th Corps.
“Then let’s get going… … ah! “I think we’re missing one person?”
Hearing Simon’s words, other students also looked around. Then I saw someone hiding behind a clothes bin on the floor in the distance. The hair on top was sticking out so it was clearly visible.
“Senior Azel.”
Simon spoke in a soothing, soothing voice.
“You have to go now.”
“I, nanana, I’m not confident! I’ve never heard of such a story before! “I came here thinking I could just fight!”
Azel trembled and stuck out his head.
It appears that severe social phobia has relapsed.
“Wow, all the people on the continent are watching? See me like this? Ah, glasses! Where are the glasses? Height-raising shoes… … !”
Simon and Maylin briefly exchanged glances. Soon, Maylin walked towards there, taking Claudia with her.
“Senior, you have to come out!”
“Show an example!”
Meilin and Claudia spoke in charming voices and grabbed Eisel’s arms, suppressing him and dragging him out.
When he was caught by the female juniors, Azel was dragged away with his face gaping and unable to move. At that moment, a headquarters employee spoke loudly.
“Now we have arrived at our destination! Are you ready?”
“yes!”
“Let’s go.” * * *
The ship has arrived at its destination.
The students came up onto the deck, holding on to their hair to keep it from falling out in the blowing sea breeze.
“Wow!”
Everyone opened their mouths at the sight before them. The headquarters staff explained with a smile.
“Welcome to the ‘Grand Quartz Hall’, the opening ceremony hall of the Rune League Training Camp!”
Meilin let out a laugh.
“What I see now is reality, right?”
“It’s so amazing!”
Surprisingly, a three-story banquet hall made of huge crystals was floating in the middle of the sea.
The lights pouring in from inside the banquet hall reflected on the crystal wall and spread out, creating a beautiful light show. The sky and sea were all colorful with rainbow colors.
There was music so rich and gorgeous that it made my ears ring.
“oh my god! “It’s a grand quartz hall!”
Elisa was amazed as she jumped in place.
“It’s a place that only the most prestigious and great people in the Dark Alliance can enter! “This is my first time, other than the one time I went there with my father when I was young!”
This crystal banquet hall floating on the sea was a place where festivals and parties were held all year round, and was the highest peak of Dark Union luxury that not everyone could enter. Simon rubbed his eyes.
‘There’s too much strong light being thrown around, are you going to be okay?’
Soon the ship docked in front of it, and the employees working at the Grand Quartz Hall rushed out and laid out carpets that extended to the ship and lined up on both sides.
“welcome!”

Simon was the first to get off the boat, adjusted his tie and took the lead. While everyone was walking on the red carpet, there was one person who was crying and being dragged away by his colleagues.
“It’s camp training! “It’s camp training!”
It was Azel.
To him, this splendid ‘place of social gathering’ must have seemed more terrible than any slaughterhouse or hell.
But now that we’ve come this far, we can’t stop. After entering the Quartz Hall along the long carpet, a large door appeared. A well-dressed butler-like person was waiting at the entrance to the opening ceremony hall.
He glanced at Simon and his group, motioned with his hand to signal them to get ready, then entered the opening ceremony hall and shouted.
<Everyone, this is Kigen’s student council president Simon Pollentia and 9 others who will compete against the Holy Federation’s Priest team in the Rune League! We hope you will welcome us with a big round of applause!>
As soon as the words were finished, the music changed to cheerful and elegant cheers poured out from inside.
Simon walked first, followed by his companions.
“welcome! Welcome!”
“Hehehe! Simon, student council president!”
“Your face is bright!”
Dazzling lights and music flowed from an interior made entirely of crystal, including the floor, walls, and ceiling. People who appeared to be of quite high status or high-ranking nobles all approached and greeted me with smiling faces.
Of course, as they did not just come to enjoy a welcome party, the noise of magic camera cameras was making noise everywhere, as if reporters were also there.
Everyone in the group also waved with smiles on their faces. People flocked in and started talking, and then everyone dispersed and talked.
‘I guess we are the main characters.’
The nobles who were talking to each other surrounded each student and asked various questions or gave words of encouragement.
Afterwards, reporters came to take pictures and ask questions.
“I understand that the rune league’s win rate is not that high, but as the leader of the representative, what do you think of this rune league?”
Simon laughed. This is about the kind of question. In fact, I had already been trained by the questions I received at the Screaming Jungle opening ceremony and school events.
“I don’t think past winning percentages are important. As 80 years have passed, I think necromancers have followed the priests well enough. As this is Keygen, I will show you with my skills rather than words.”
Satisfied applause was heard from everywhere.
The experience of the King’s Studies class I received as the student council president of Kizen, as well as the experience of having Jane take me around and deal with high-ranking people, were all helpful. Her words came out spontaneously.
Of course, sometimes there are pitfalls.
“There will be some pretty important characters, including a saint, in Afnel. “If there is an opportunity for unity, would you consider eliminating it?”
Simon opened his mouth with a stern expression.
“The Rune League is not a battlefield where you die and kill. It is just an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and capabilities. “We will avoid asking inappropriate questions in the future.”
After dealing with a barrage of questions, Simon left with the excuse of going to the bathroom.
Looking around, I saw that the other group members were all coping well.
Hector, who was worried, seemed to have no problems. Rather, he is aggressively attacking the reporter by asking questions. Still, he comes from a high-ranking noble family, so he won’t make a mistake.
Simon is walking looking for an exit.
“uh?”
The men who were sitting on chairs in a corner and talking stood up. Simon widened his eyes.
“You guys… … !”
“long time no see. Simon Pollentia, student council president.”
Three men dressed in suits wearing green ties, red ties, and blue ties.
Just by looking at him, I could see that he was the same age as Simon.
“Perhaps you guys…” … .”
“Yes, we also came as representatives of the Rune League.”
The total capacity of the camp is 20 people.
Among them, these were the three people recruited from the three major necromancer schools.
Aland’s student council president, wearing a green tie and round glasses.
Sierra’s student council president, wore a red tie, had a nose piercing, and had hair that stood out like a pineapple.
Moiran’s student council president, wearing a blue tie, has a solid physique, and for some reason, is wearing something that looks like a water tube under one arm.
Simon, who had entered a clear point in his head, smiled kindly.
“Nice to meet you all. Was this our first meeting?”
“We know you, but you don’t know us.”
Aland’s student council president said.
“I was watching this transfer evaluation match from the stands.”
“I see. Let’s do well together.”
Simon said. Sierra’s student council president, who was staring at him, rubbed his eyes and said something.
“I have to do my best. Of course, no one expects us to become regular members.”
Now I see that the people here and the reporters were not paying any attention to them. So it seems like they were sitting by themselves at a little distance.
“That’s something no one knows. “I think there can be some variables in the competition between necromancers.”
Simon spread his palms.
“Let’s compete against each other to the best of our ability.”
I held out my palm to invite a handshake, but the three student council presidents did not specifically hold hands.
That time when Simon was a little shy.
“Simon Pollentia, student council president.”
“You are here! The Marquis really wants to see you… … !”
“Ah yes. “I will go.”
The student council presidents of the three major schools looked at Simon, who was immediately surrounded by people, with slightly stern faces and then left. * * *
At the same time as the banquet was taking place at the Grand Quartz Hall.
Shoot!
As if attracted by the dazzling light pouring from the banquet hall, the fins of a strange creature were approaching, cutting through the water.
