Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 190 Fight Again
After the messenger Gerrit left, Duke Bruno and his family of three were the only ones left in the main hall.

Normally, the Duchess would not express any opinions on such serious matters, and would let her husband make the decisions. Now that her son was an adult, she would let the two of them make the decision.

Moreover, this matter concerns the position of the president of the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy. She dared not interfere. What a high position that is. The Bruno family could not even get it before. Now that such a big name has come, she dared not reach out to take it. She should just push it to the men in the family...

"Elai, you are taking on the position of dean. Do you have the confidence to do a good job?"

Now that there were no outsiders here, Duke Bruno asked his son directly. Anyway, he was not able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility, so he had to wait and see what his son, who had already grown up and become independent, thought.

"I can't guarantee that I can do it well, but I think it won't be bad either. Let's give it a try."

Eli was speaking the truth. He was capable of killing demons and leading troops, but as for being the dean, he could only give it a try.

"Why not just register as a name, like Reverend Augusta, who may not even go to the academy once in three years..."

Duke Bruno tried to give his son some advice. After all, there were precedents for such honorary deans, and it was not just Venerable Augusta who did this. It was not impossible for Eli to learn from his predecessors.

"I may need some help from some people in the academy. It's okay. I'll go check it out tomorrow and we'll talk if it's not suitable."

Eli thought about it and did not accept his father's advice. At least before the whetstones and stepping stones in the academy lost their function, his title as dean would still be of some use.

"Well... you've grown up now, and you should make your own decisions. But the path you're going to take in the future is something your father never expected, and your family can't help you anymore, ah..."

Seeing that Eli was determined to try, Duke Bruno didn't want to force him to follow his advice. After all, his son was already an adult, and his status and position would soon surpass that of his father. He was no longer able to interfere in Eli's future affairs.

Thinking of this, Duke Bruno couldn't help but sigh. He originally thought that his son would have to rely on them for at least twenty or thirty years, but he never expected that in just half a year, the young man who had once thrived under their care had become a pillar that could stand tall and proud.

Even he, the father, seems insignificant in front of his son. You know, he was also a military general and had been practicing hard since he was a child, but to this day, he still can't get a glimpse of the Saint level. But his son, who is almost thirty years younger than him, is about to break through the Saint level and step into the realm of the Venerable.

They are obviously biological father and son, why is there such a big gap?
"Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for you. I'll handle any problems myself. I can handle it."

When Eli said this, he really wanted to pat his father on the shoulder to reassure him, but it always felt inappropriate for a son to pat his father, so he simply gave up the idea and patted his own chest instead.

That's right. His son has grown up, become stronger and capable of taking on responsibilities. It's not his turn as an old guy to worry about him anymore. The child has been very independent since he was young, so just let him be.

"Then do it well."

This time, it was Duke Bruno who reached out and patted Eli on the shoulder. He had nothing else to say, so let's leave it at that.

"Then I'll leave first. Lina will come over in the evening. Let's have dinner together."

Eli said this and left after his parents waved goodbye to him. There was a room full of people waiting for him in the practice room.

……

……

"The dean of the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy?"

Cecilia took the appointment letter and read it over and over again. She didn't feel anything special, but what was written on it was a bit horrifying.

As a child who grew up in the Dawn Empire, Cecilia was well aware of the importance of the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy, and also knew what the position of the dean of this academy represented.

Even though she admired her master the most, she had never thought that her master could reach such a high position at such a young age.

Of course, in Cecilia's heart, the master is the most powerful person. Even if he becomes the dean, he deserves the title. There is no question of whether he is worthy or not.

It's just that he took the position too early. The master is not even older than most of the students there, but he was appointed as the dean. I don't know if they will accept it or not.

"Dean, good, it matches."

Jessica didn't have so many thoughts. She only said a few words and then shut up, but her face was full of pride, as if the person who was the dean was her husband... It seemed that he was indeed...

"Eli is so awesome..."

Although Evelyn was not from the Dawn Empire, as someone who came from an academic background, how could she not have heard of the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy of the Dawn Empire? It was one of the highest institutions of learning on the continent, countless times more famous than the Public Academy of the Undead in the Principality of the Undead where she came from. In the entire mortal world, only academies that could be compared with it could be counted on one hand.

She was just an outstanding graduate of a small public necromancy academy, but Eli had already become the dean of the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy. It had to be said that sometimes the gap between people was even greater than that between people and dogs. She felt that she was not worthy of Eli.

"Even Eli can become the dean, this academy is not that great..."

Eleanor was the only one among the crowd who disdained the appointment of the dean. She grew up in the palace, where there were strong people who taught her everything. She had never been to an academy and had never learned about the Dawn Empire before, so she had no idea of ​​the importance of the dean of the Imperial Capital Magic and Martial Arts Academy.

Anyway, in Eleanor's eyes, Eli has always been a powerful and lustful existence. Although this power is a bit too much, his lust is also outstanding! Not inferior to his strength at all... Hey, what am I thinking about?
In short, if someone as dishonest as Eli can be the dean, it will be a disaster. How good can the college be under his leadership?
"Eleanor, are you being naughty again? Do you want to show off your legs again?"

As a half-Dawn Empire citizen, Cecilia was inevitably a little angry when she heard Eleanor slandering their highest institution of learning. She directly exposed Eleanor's scars. "You...you just rely on your strength to bully me. When I surpass you one day, I will kill you all!"

Eleanor pointed at Cecilia and Eli, and also pointed at Jessica who had hurt her yesterday, then stomped her feet and shouted angrily.

I learned the word "shark" from Eli on the way to the Dawn Empire. It is said that saying such harsh words is more cute, and now it is just right to use it on Eli and his friends.

"Then you have to be able to surpass us. Can you catch up with me with your short legs?"

As Cecilia spoke, her hand slid down from her waist, showing Eleanor the long and beautiful legs that she didn't have, which made Eleanor furious. If Evelyn hadn't hugged her in time, she might have rushed up to fight with Cecilia.

As for how Evelyn, a necromancer, was able to hold on to the struggling berserker Eleanor, only Eleanor herself knew...

"Well, since I have to start my new post tomorrow anyway, you two can have the fight today. Cecilia, go up and fight Jessica. Whoever wins gets to spend the night with her alone the day after tomorrow."

Seeing Cecilia and Eleanor arguing, Eli wanted to be fair, so he didn't help anyone and just interrupted their verbal fight. If they had the guts, they could go to the ring to compete.

"Then I will definitely win!"

After hearing the prize contest announced by her master, Cecilia was too lazy to argue with Eleanor and decided to defeat Jessica first to get the ticket to sleep with her master.

Of course, although Jessica is a good sister who is inseparable from Cecilia and is willing to give her all the good things, the only difference is the master. The master can be shared, but Cecilia cannot have him exclusively except in special circumstances. If there is to be exclusive possession, it must be her.

It's just a pity that it is more difficult to determine the winner between the two of them than to make their current master abstain from sex. They have fought countless times since they were young, and they are so familiar with each other that they can even detect when the other has lost a hair. Whenever they fight, it always ends in a draw as expected.

This match was no exception. Even though they fought fiercely, with swords and guns flying everywhere and the entire arena being shaken by the aftermath of their fight, no one could defeat the other in one go. In the end, both of them fell out of the arena after an all-out attack, and the match ended in a draw.

"The next match is between Evelyn and Eleanor. Both sides should be prepared."

Eli didn't even bother to announce the result of Jessica and Cecilia's match and moved on to the next one. What a disappointing child bride. In the end, her only destiny was to put aside the dispute and develop together.

After Eli finished speaking, Evelyn and Eleanor, old acquaintances on the ring, were ready to start their third battle. Evelyn won the first two games, but Eleanor lost because she underestimated her opponent and was careless, not because of her lack of strength.

But this time it was different. Evelyn had successfully broken through to the eighth level before, and although Eleanor had also made considerable progress, she was still at the seventh level. The gap in strength between the two was obviously larger than in the previous two games. Evelyn was very confident that she could win three consecutive victories against Eleanor.

"The competition begins!"

As Eli's start sounded, Evelyn planned to repeat her old trick. Just as she opened her mouth to give Eleanor a Revenant Scream, she was suddenly blown in the face by a gust of wind. It was Eleanor, unarmed, rushing straight in front of her.

It was too late to cast a spell at this time. Evelyn could only dodge a little awkwardly. After avoiding Eleanor's little pink fist, she hurriedly summoned three black warriors to protect her.

But the black warriors she summoned were only at level six, so it would be difficult for just three of them to stop Eleanor. So before the three black warriors were beaten to pieces by Eleanor, Evelyn waved her staff and summoned enough skeletons and zombies to cover the entire arena.

Although these lowest-level undead creatures are weak, they are numerous. Even if Eleanor can hit three or four of them with one punch, it will be enough for her to beat them for a long time. This time is enough for her to control Eleanor.

Evelyn was able to control Eleanor with Revenant Scream when she was at level 7. Now that she has broken through to level 8, her mental strength and magic power have made great progress. I believe it will be even more difficult for Eleanor to resist her spells.

"Ah~~~"

A piercing scream came out from Evelyn's mouth. Although Eleanor, who was struggling in the sea of ​​corpses, was prepared, she still suffered a loss due to her hard power. In the blink of an eye, she fell into a state of unconsciousness.

It is obviously not possible to let the skeletons and zombies rush up to tickle Eleanor at this time. People who are controlled by the screams of the dead will be awakened once they are attacked by external forces. How can the little skeletons wake up Eleanor by causing injuries like scraping?
Evelyn quickly recalled all the skeletons and zombies, even the black warrior that was smashed by Eleanor's previous charge. She wanted to summon an undead creature powerful enough to kill her before Eleanor woke up... no, to give her a winning blow.

Before, Evelynn was only a seventh-level necromancer. The maximum limit she could summon was a seventh-level undead creature of the same level as her. However, this maximum limit was only a theoretical limit. For an ordinary seventh-level necromancer, even if she exhausted all her mental and magical power, it would only be enough to summon a seventh-level undead creature for a dozen seconds.

In other words, although the Necromancer can summon undead creatures of the same level, using it in actual combat is no different from seeking death, so generally no one would use it that way.

After all, the mental and magical power consumed by summoning undead creatures of a lower order is less than one-tenth of that of summoning undead creatures of the same order. In theory, ten undead creatures of a lower order are more capable of fighting than undead creatures of the same order that can only last for a dozen seconds.

Therefore, in the previous battles, Evelynn had never summoned seventh-order undead creatures once. At most, she had sent black warriors and undead knights to participate in the battle, both of which were only sixth-order undead creatures.

But it’s different now. Evelyn has advanced to the eighth level. When she summons the seventh-level undead creatures now, she is not summoning creatures of the same level. It is basically the same as when she summoned the Black Knight and the Undead Knight before her breakthrough... Oh, not the same, after all, there is a high-level barrier between the sixth and seventh levels, which are not the same.

This was also the reason why Evelyn only summoned the Black Warrior to fight the enemy in a hurry instead of directly summoning the seventh-level undead creatures to fight Eleanor. The undead creatures in the underworld also follow the same rules as the mortal races, and whether or not they step into the high level is a very important watershed.

This watershed is just a leap in strength for humans or the vast majority of members of the hundred races, but for undead creatures, whether or not one is high-level is not only a matter of strength, but also of whether or not one possesses wisdom.

Undead creatures below the seventh level are only driven by soul fire, acting on instinct and the orders of higher-level beings. But once they reach a higher level, the undead creature will gain wisdom and enlightenment, and the soul fire that originally replaced the soul will evolve into a real soul, but it will still exist in the form of soul fire.

In a sense, high-level undead creatures are no longer objects that can be summoned and driven at will by the Necromancer. Their relationship with the Necromancer is more like that of collaborators. The Necromancer needs their combat power to fight for him, and high-level undead creatures also need the Necromancer's mental and magical nourishment to make them stronger.
