The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Amber walked into the simple school with full of doubts.

Just now when she was outside, Amber was just a bystander and was unable to personally experience the strong magical power in the yard.

Now walking into it, Amber was surprised to find that the magic power condensed in the yard was enough to support her to quickly activate advanced magic.

How incredible this is.

A group of kids who are not even magicians, yet their combined power is so strong.

"Wow! That guy is wearing some amazing robes!"

"Teacher! Our dean is here!"

The children were at an energetic age, and when they found out that Amber, a stranger, had entered the campus, they were as happy as if it were a holiday.

Amber felt hot all over when she saw the children's enthusiastic gazes. She didn't want to cause a sensation, but she seemed unable to avoid it.

The teacher who was leading the children to do physical exercises during recess quickly came to Amber.

They were just junior mages. In the capital city with its strict hierarchy, they were not even qualified to look directly at Amber.

"Welcome, Dean Amber. The children have been looking forward to it for a long time. We have prepared a special office for you. Please come and inspect it."

"Wait a minute, I haven't agreed to be the dean of this... academy. I have some questions to ask you."

Amber is not stupid enough to be fooled by the locals. She needs to solve some questions first and then think about whether it is necessary to stay here.

The two young magicians looked at each other and gave a wry smile as if they had known this would happen.

The Governor said before that he would invite a senior magician to come to the academy to take charge, but the reality turned out to be not that easy.

"We are willing to answer any questions that Master Amber has. Master Amber, please consider teaching more."

The two magicians' sincere request made Amber more confused.

The two young men in front of Amber were really giving up their own dignity and asking Amber to stay.

They do this, of course, for the children around them.

But Amber didn't understand, because magicians were different from civilians, they were two different classes, and for their own future, they should work hard to get rid of these burdens.

As if seeing Amber's doubts, the two teachers drove the students away and told them to play by themselves. They wanted to entertain Amber personally and try to get more chances to keep the dean.

They brought Amber into the dean's office which had been prepared long ago. This room was also in the small building of the college, but the interior decoration was surprisingly luxurious.

A huge desk is placed in the most conspicuous position in the room, with gold-rimmed chairs on both sides, highlighting the nobility of the owner of the room.

The bookshelves on both sides of the room are filled with a dazzling array of magic-related books.

Amber only took a quick glance and saw several book titles that attracted her.

These books are classical collections that are only treasured in the kingdom’s top royal libraries.

Where did these books come from? Are the people here really so capable?

Amber was a little doubtful whether what she saw was real or some kind of imaginary illusion.

"Dean Amber, this is your future office room. There is also a corresponding bedroom prepared for you next to it. However, you can also choose a piece of land in the town and build a house of your choice."

A teacher opened the side door of her office, revealing a large pink bed like the one a princess in a story would live in.

Amber was a little shy and thought that her preference must have been revealed by her best friend.

"Don't worry about the dormitory for now. I want to ask you, who was responsible for that...early break exercise?"

The two teachers anticipated that Amber would ask this and took a paper book from the bookshelf on the side.

This book uses a new papermaking technology, the pages are light and the printed ink is clearly visible.

Amber had come across similar books after coming to the North, so she was no longer too surprised.

But after turning the pages of the book, the magical conjectures inside still deeply shocked Amber's mind.

"The kingdom's magic heritage comes from various magic families. Before the establishment of the magic academy, magic was passed down through the family..."

This is history that everyone knows. Before the kingdom encountered the deadly threat of demons, magic was a secret.

"After the demons appeared in the southern continent, the human kingdom had to increase its military strength, and the training of magicians was also unified by the kingdom."

Amber knew about the magic reform proposed by King William VII, which greatly enhanced the power of the human wizard corps, but also sent this great king to the guillotine.

How ridiculous it is that a king who gave the human kingdom the ability to confront demons head-on was destroyed by his own people.

Amber also knew that it was the nobles who still occupied various important positions in the kingdom who pushed William VII to the guillotine.

Since that incident, William's family fell out of the race for king, and the kingdom's supreme rulers were replaced by members of Henry's family.

Amber shook out more and more historical thoughts from her mind and continued to look at the part of the book that talked about magic.

"The magic books seized from various families are all chaotic and disordered. Practicing magic from two families at the same time may even drive people crazy..."

However, elemental magic is about harmonizing the elements that already exist in nature to help the caster create extraordinary power, so magic should be concise and orderly.

Amber thought of the many studies she had seen at the Royal Capital Magic Academy.

Among them, some magicians have suggested that the same elemental magic should use unified runes and chanting phrases.

"In this world, dwarves and elves also have the ability to use elemental magic. From this, we can see that magical power is not based on bloodline..."

This sentence exploded in Amber's mind. Amber knew how outrageous this sentence was.

Because in the royal capital, there are many magicians who advocate the theory of bloodline, and the nobles are extremely welcoming of this theory.

The people of the North dared to write such outrageous content in such a conspicuous book. They are crazy!

However, what drives Amber crazy is the following speculation.

"Elves, dwarves, and other races that can use magic do not believe in the Holy Light, and they even have low intelligence, so magic is not a power bestowed by the goddess on humans at all..."

How dare you say that!

"Magic has existed since ancient times. It exists in every stone, every wisp of wind, every drop of water, and every grain of sand. Magic emblems and spellcasting sentences are just bridges for people to interact with the magical power in nature. It is by no means unique, but it also follows certain rules!"

Amber was shaking all over when she saw what was happening behind her. The words written on the book were like a sharp knife, ready to pierce through the magic system that had been circulating in the kingdom for hundreds of years!

"Tell me who wrote this vicious conjecture, and I will kill this heretic!"

Amber suddenly went berserk, startling the two young mages.

One of them added casually.

"Dean Amber, this is not a guess. Most of the contents here have been confirmed."

Isn't it the best evidence that those kids out there can use ridiculously simple techniques to invoke the power of magic?

Amber fell back into the chair, staring at the book in front of her with lifeless eyes.

The magical worldview that Amber had always relied on suddenly collapsed today.
