Chapter 2: The Number One Genius of the Academy, Sigmar

All of the students whom Sigmar saw as he walked on the road with a grumpy face greeted him politely before hurriedly distancing themselves from him. They wanted to avoid getting on his bad side, especially given his sulky mood.

Firstly, there is a need for us to understand Sigmar.

Full name, Sigmar Was.h.i.+ngton. He was born in the west of Nolan Continent as the son of a count in the territory of the Duke of Cherry Blossoms.

However, one’s ident.i.ty meant nothing. At the very least, in Atlas Academy, that was the case. In here, what everyone cared about was your talent and achievements rather than who your father was. Thus… He got along better than he imagined here. Probably.

In this academy, there wasn’t a single person who was ignorant of the name Sigmar. His greatest trait was his extreme fear of ghosts. His greatest ambition was to successfully escape from the pursuit of the Saint-level masters to play truant. The most shocking doing of his was when he threw an extraordinarily unstable Explosion Scroll into the academy’s greatest public toilet…

Normally, in the top Necromancy academy that dances alongside death, Atlas Academy, fear of ghosts was an extremely hilarious topic and joke. This kind of cowards would be mocked and despised by the others. ——However, Sigmar was different. What that was equally famous as his reputation of fearing ghosts was his ability to vent his anger on others and his fiery temper. There was once a foolish older student of the school who tried to make use of his seniority to challenge Sigmar. He intended to use Sigmar’s fear of ghosts to frighten him so that the latter would make a fool out of himself. However, he miscalculated. There were many different types of reaction to one who feared ghosts. Some people would be rooted to the spot upon seeing Undead while others would go into a rampage. Apparently, Sigmar was the latter…

Thus, the unlucky child was held by Sigmar who had lost his rationality and had Mind Burst cast on him for a consecutive seven times at point blank before being dragged like a dog to the eighth floor of the Third Building and thrown down. Even though he was eventually brought back to life, he was afflicted with a permanent mental trauma.

From there on, everyone learned that there was a threat known as Sigmar that they had to avoid at all cause.

Not only so, this threat even devoted his limited lifespan and unlimited pa.s.sion into ‘I want to leave this darned place’ and his actions were completely unbecoming of the strict and pragmatic Atlas Academy. The numerous operations to escape from the school that this student had planned caught the academy’s guard by surprise and every single time, a Saint-level master had to be invited to capture him back. Even more so, skipping lessons were like eating and drinking to him. He would skip anything that involved the summoning of corpses, the dissection of physical bodies and any sinister ghost-like things. It didn’t matter whether you coerced him or enticed him or not, if you push him too far, he would even attack the teachers.

That’s right, he even dared to attack the teachers——The teacher responsible for teaching Undead Binding, Teacher Helin, was a well-known antique. His cla.s.ses emphasized highly on practicality and interactivity. As such, he would always bring dozens of specters to his cla.s.s and display the contents of the lessons to the students at proximity. Even more so, he even requested for students to experience the sensation of being controlled by specters.

Naturally, Sigmar was unwilling to go to such lessons as well and he skipped it. On the other hand, Teacher Helin was an extremely responsible and fiery tempered person. After Sigmar skipped his lessons for the third time, he could no longer hold it in any longer. He dashed out of the cla.s.sroom and knocked on his door, demanding for Sigmar to return and make up for all of the lessons that he had missed. Of course, Sigmar refused. He rejoiced at Teacher Helin’s threats and expressed that he would thank him for his entire life if he was able to expel him from the academy.——Such irresponsible and improper words successfully incurred Teacher Helin’s wrath. He immediately sent a wave of Imprisonment of Death Souls over, wanting to teach Sigmar a lesson.

When the savage specters, amidst their shrill screams, reached out of Sigmar, the students who were hiding in the corner and watching the commotion saw something that they would never forget for their entire life: They saw Sigmar’s fearful and pale face. They heard Sigmar’s agitated and fearful exclamations. They saw Sigmar rolling and crawling rapidly away. They also saw… a bundle of frenzied Death Energy instantaneously gathering in Sigmar’s hand.

It was said that within five seconds, Sigmar shot out ten Bone Spears. Every single Bone Spear spun in a spiral and the effects of the rotation of the ten stacked with one another, creating an unprecedented spiral to converge at a single point. As a result, he almost instantaneously broke through the Specter Armor that Teacher Helin summoned hurriedly which was said to be capable of withstanding a full strength attack of a Gold-level Warrior. If not for Teacher Helin’s rich fighting experience and his wariness in dealing with the genius Sigmar, that Bone Spear might have very well impaled through his body and nailed this outstanding and professional Necromancy Teacher into the earth.

It was also said that this matter had shook the entire Atlas City. The academy’s Disciplinary Squad felt that they were humiliated. As such, they immediately sent members in an attempt to capture Sigmar in for questioning over his a.s.sault on a teacher. However, they only ended getting beaten up by the agitated Sigmar…
