Necromancer: Becoming a God Starting with Skeleton Clone

Chapter 6 Me and My Prodigy Deskmate

Fang Zhou, fast asleep, was naturally unaware of the promise that Instructor Lu Hu had secured for him.

The next morning, he arrived at the classroom in the first company full of energy.

Today is their first day of school. In the morning, they have political and cultural classes, and in the afternoon, they have meditation and physical education classes.

When Fangzhou arrived at the classroom, the seats had already been assigned.

To his left was an ordinary-looking, ordinary-tempered, and ordinary-dressed boy who introduced himself as Ye Fan, and whose awakened class was [Demon Hunter].

Upon hearing the name, Fangzhou immediately felt a deep sense of respect.

If it weren't for his cheat-like abilities, he would have almost thought he was the protagonist.

To the right is a fair-skinned, aloof girl named Bai Xiaochun, who has awakened the [String of Chanting] profession.

Although her name contains the character "小" (xiao), she seems unfathomable.

"Sigh, actually I wanted to be an assassin." Bai Xiaochun slumped weakly on the table and sighed.

"Hmph, only the weak are bound by their professions. My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!" Ye Fan crossed his arms and snorted coldly.

"..." Bai Xiaochun and Fang Zhou exchanged a glance, both speechless.

After exchanging a few words, Fangzhou discovered that Bai Xiaochuan, despite her aloof appearance, was actually quite talkative.

Ye Fan rarely speaks, possessing an air of arrogance, but occasionally he utters a few memorable quotes that make people lose their composure.

Soon, Instructor Lu Hu entered the classroom, and the trainees immediately quieted down.

He glanced at Fang Zhou, who was sitting between Ye Fan and Bai Xiaochun, and thought to himself, "This is all I can do to help."

Principal Su had already warned him yesterday, so he dared not reveal any more information to Fang Zhou and could only keep his thoughts to himself.

Let Ark sit with the two rare professionals, hoping that he will learn from their example.

Lu Hu withdrew his gaze, stood on the podium, and said with great enthusiasm, "Students, today I will give you your first lesson—loyalty!"

While you are comfortably sitting in the classroom attending classes, your comrades are fighting bloody battles on various battlefields!

From the Twilight Valley and Sighing Fortress in the mythical world to the Calamity Kingdom and Beast Battlefield on Earth.

Just yesterday, a spatial fragment appeared in Haicheng, causing dozens of soldiers to be injured or killed.

You must always remember that every resource you consume is stained with the blood and sweat of your compatriots.

......

The content of the first political lesson was very positive and uplifting.

Fangzhou also gained a better understanding of the world from Lu Hu's few words.

Decades ago, a massive spatial rift appeared over the Pacific Ocean.

After initial exploration, people discovered that beyond the crack lay a vast and boundless mythological world.

At the same time, the human body began to evolve, awakening various powerful professions.

Someone has awakened the [Warrior] class, possessing an incredibly strong physique capable of withstanding artillery bombardment head-on.

Someone has awakened the [Mage] class, capable of conjuring fireballs with their bare hands, the power of which is comparable to a cruise missile.

Some people have awakened the [Priest] profession, which allows them to radiate holy light, and those who bathe in it are cured of all diseases.

Just as humanity was full of hope and preparing to develop a new world, a powerful enemy appeared!

Countless alien creatures descended from the rift, calling themselves "Abyssal Demons," bringing endless carnage to Earth.

In just ten years, the total human population plummeted from nearly 10 billion to 3 billion.

Faced with the crisis of extinction, the few remaining major human powers jointly formed the [United Human Government].

Forged in blood and fire, more and more humans have awakened their powers, and countless powerful individuals have risen from the battlefield.

Finally, after decades of bloody battles, the Human Alliance drove the vast majority of the Abyss Demons out of Earth and established a strong defense line in the Mythical World.

Today, the human population has recovered to around 50 billion, and a relatively complete system of awakened professionals has been established.

Through continuous exploration, the average success rate of awakening has reached a considerable one-tenth.

In order to save the nation and ensure its survival, the People's Federation vigorously encouraged childbirth while implementing militarized management and making every effort to increase its fighting strength.

Among them, the Longxia Federation established ten top military academies, investing huge resources in training awakened warriors, and Haicheng Military Academy is one of them.

Haicheng Military Academy has a four-year curriculum, and those who excel in the assessment can apply for early graduation. Upon graduation, their destination is naturally the military. Generally, they first serve within the Blue Star, and only after their strength reaches a certain level will they be deployed to the battlefield of the Mythical World.

While listening to the lecture, Fangzhou also distracted himself by operating his skeleton clones, sweeping away the newly formed skeletons in the Burial Wasteland.

By the time the morning classes ended, the skeleton clone's attributes had increased again.

Strength +0.2, Constitution +0.1, Soul Power +3.

......

At noon, Fangzhou went to the cafeteria for lunch with his two newly acquainted classmates.

The Dragonxia Federation never shortchanges its soldiers, especially when it comes to food.

The canteen mainly serves meat, including common meats from Earth as well as some exotic animal ingredients from mythical worlds.

Bai Xiaochun, holding a plate full of roasted meat, ate while exclaiming, "Military academies are really rich and powerful!"

"The flesh and blood of such expensive beasts are supplied in unlimited quantities, but unfortunately we have just awakened and our physical condition is not up to standard, so we really can't eat too much."

Fangzhou chewed on a piece of purple meat, finding it sweet and delicious with an unforgettable aftertaste. After finishing it, he even felt a slight warmth throughout his body.

After eating another piece of pink mushroom, my previously weary soul suddenly felt invigorated.

His expression shifted; what troubled him most now was the mental exhaustion caused by multitasking and continuous battles.

If there were a drug to alleviate this fatigue, the time and efficiency of the skeleton clone in fighting monsters and leveling up would undoubtedly increase greatly.

So Fangzhou asked, "Xiao Chan, what kind of mushroom is this? Where can I get it?"

Bai Xiaochun looked at it and said, "This is a calming mushroom, which can effectively relieve soul fatigue, but eating too much can cause hallucinations."

For professions like ours that require meditation, consuming calming mushrooms can slightly increase meditation time.

If you can exchange it for a Soul Soothing Potion made with it, the effect will be even better.

Unfortunately, we freshmen don't have that privilege.

Ye Fan, who had been silent all along, suddenly said confidently, "As long as I become a 'seed' for the military academy, I can get these mere potions with a snap of my fingers."

"Seeds?" Fang Zhou looked at Bai Xiaochun with a curious expression.

Bai Xiaochun hesitated for a moment. The necromancer profession was too complicated to describe, so it was probably difficult for it to be included in the [seed] training list.

Looking at Fang Zhou's handsome face, she couldn't bear to dampen her new deskmate's enthusiasm, so she said tactfully, "I heard that military academies will conduct a series of tests to determine a priority training list."

I think the simulated battlefield should be a very important part of the assessment.

It's about giving good students extra help, I get it.

Fangzhou didn't ask any further questions about the matter, but secretly took the [Simulated Battlefield] to heart.

Military academies have so many good things, how can you do it without the necessary permissions?
