Chapter Three - Returning

The spell ended, leaving silence to hang over the area as the red glow under the bones faded away. A circle of black runes and a green light appear in front of him in the tornado of bones, revealing a skeleton in a blood-red tatter noble dress. The female skeleton stood less than five feet. In her bony hands are two sharp bone shanks. The creature's eyes blaze red before changing to a green flame. As the skeleton slowly settled next to him, the bones around it fell to the ground. He slowly began to walk around the skeleton as a feeling deep in his mind connected with it to let him know that this was his servant. Its status appeared.

Leeka Barnes was considered one of the most feared local assassins that lived over a hundred years ago. Her beauty and grace allow her access to many noblemen's estates. She was known as the Blood Rose for her ability to murder and blackmail others. Her lover murdered her out of jealousy of her assassination skills and greed of the large nest egg she was building for retiring. She was killed in bed during sex and dumped in the boneyard.

Feeling excited at seeing a chain quest. And the fact she can be upgraded. Turning in the direction of the city and barely spoke aloud.

"Guard me as I return to the academy." she nodded and followed him as her flaming green eyes traveled over every bush and tree for threats.

Traveling back to wall city, they killed a dozen or more low-rank beasts and entered the city gate at daylight. The guards only briefly glance in his direction as they both enter the city. The city's size is ten miles in radius with a circular wall and round towers every hundred feet. Station on top of the towers is four larger strange cannons that face outward. The average buildings within the walls are four stories high. A large castle with white granite stone towers surrounded by a large moat is in the city's center. It towers stands ten stories over the city and is the place where the city lord lives. All the walls and stone buildings were created by earth magic. The fact that this city can withstand the beast's assaults can give testament to its strength. On the east side is the city's crowning jewel. That is the Academy where magic is learned and used to make its inhabitants stronger. There are only two ways to learn in the Academy. To pay the enormous sums of gold to attend or serve on the city walls for ten years to pay the city back. His family always pays for the Academy. A few cities do not have an academy because housing and maintaining hundreds of teachers cost a large summon of money.

At dawn, he walks through the Academy's gate, much to the surprise of everyone who saw him. He walks into the cafeteria and fixes a helping of biscuit and gravy. He sat down and ate. No one came close to him as they felt the killing intent of his skeleton. As he ate, he listened to the rumors of his death, to him running away in fear buzz throughout the cafeteria. Most of all, some are laughing about his skeleton in a dress. Most of the laughter stops when the skeleton's head turns to stare at them.

"I thought I was dead when that skeleton looked at me." hearing a boy gulp.

"My life passes before my eyes, too scary." another cries out.

"Do you feel it? It feels like the skeleton is strong?" A woman said, shivering.

Ignoring everyone, he ate slowly, enjoying the food. He got up and put his dirty plate and drink cup away. Heading out the door looking for the necromancer's lecture hall, leaving behind the gossip that started after he left. The lecture hall is under the third teaching hall. He thinks it is called Peach Hall. Henry took the stones steps down outside the Peach Hall, a four-story brick and stone building. Walking down some stone stairs into the bowel of the necromancer's lecture hall. A door off to the right of the room leads to his teacher's office. Stopped in surprise in the doorway, staring at a stunningly beautiful woman as she bent her head forward. Her long flawless neck pulls at him as he can hear and see her pulse beat on her throat. He wanted to bite her neck for a brief moment as she was reading some papers on her desk. Henry gulps a moment before as he is about to knock on the door jam. Glancing to the right seeing a nameplate on the door. 'Professor Shane Gordon.'

Stolen story; please report.

Wilber was always tongue-tied every time he saw Miss Gordon. Trying to remember a Gordon family and not finding anything in his memories about them. I don't blame Wilber for being tongue-tied. Spending time in the hospital surrounded by some very beautiful nurses allows him to get past his shyness. He learns to tease them, trying to get a blush once in a while from the pretty nurses. It was his only source of venting his sexual urges. The woman before him is nothing like the women of earth. The golden skin color reflects the light is like nothing he has ever seen, the golden color of the skin is like looking at a morning sunrise.

A flood of information about Shane Gordon appears on the screen before him. She is a gold tier, rank 5, necromancer as a half-elf and the youngest person to reach Gold tier at the age of twenty-five. Currently, she is only twenty-eight and has not raised any higher in rank. She is the only teacher that teaches necromancy and dark magic in five cities for a few thousand miles. The fact she is a half golden elf and not a drow surprise people about her class. Her strongest power is the ability to summon a large number of undead. The tattoos covering her body are of the undead she contracted. Her strongest is a titan skeleton that carries a magical enhance club. Watching her move, a strand of long golden hair that escapes her braided reaches her nice upside-down heart shape butt. Putting the strand of hair behind her sightly pointed ears marking her as a half-elf, her above-average breasts, and an hourglass figure make both men and women want to chase her. Rumors that she had turned down hundreds of rich nobles last year alone show how beautiful she is compared to others. Gathering his thoughts, he knocks on her door.

Shane looks up with a surprise look and relief in her heart as her steel-blue eyes search his body for injuries and damage. Frowning at the torn clothes and dirt on both his clothes and skin. But smile when seeing a skeleton in a red dress behind him. She gets up with a grin on her face.

"You did it!" Sounding surprised and happy.

Before her, the young man seems to have changed from a few days ago. He looks taller and more mature. He barely appeared on her radar in her classroom the other day as she gave him the information on summoning a servant. In fact, he seems weak and below average. At the time, he was not even contracted to a skeleton yet. Although he came from a large and influential family, he seemed mediocre at best. Still, she worries about anyone going to the boneyard alone. But the Academy policy demands that all necromancers and death knights students acquire a servant and do this alone. If they have not contracted a servant before school starts tomorrow, they will be expelled. Contracting skeletons prove they are worth being taught spells and not wasting time and resources.

The desire to clean the boy up and search his body for wounds makes her feel a strong desire to get his attention. Unknown to both of them, a strange musk fills the room. The feeling of strong sexual urges suddenly flows through her as she tries to get near him. Even more. He seems to be much stronger than before. There was a sharpness in his eyes that was not there before. It was as if he was a predator and she was the prey. There have been stories about some summoning that can cause a mysterious change in a necromancer. Some necromancers gain power for good, and others become the worse evil because their servant dominates them. Somehow summoning this female skeleton seems to have given him a good change in life. If not for the fact he has a skeleton as a servant, she would think he was a vampire and using charm on her.

Still, she had a hard time backing down the urge to jump the young man suddenly. Thinking maybe his aura may be active.

"Wilber, can you mask your aura? It seems to be strong?" she asks with a flush on her face.

Charm +1

Seduction +1

Checking his body status, he realized that his charm skill is fully active as well as his seduction skill. Glance at Miss Gordon and see the woman flush and panting as if fighting some unseen force. He realizes he seems to be only a few moments away from being sexually attacked by the woman. Chuckling mentally, he lowered his charm but kept his seduction up at half its power. Although, she is older than him by ten years. She is rated as being third in beauty out of the twelve women teachers in the Academy and fifteen in the rating of the top hundreds of women in school. And now that he is an immortal, age is just a number.

The urge to make her part of his coven struck him. The fact that she is arouses almost makes him want to ravish her in her office. Calming down his own urges, watching as Miss Gordon got most of her urges under control. She misses the predator gleam in his eye as it flashes from looking over her shapely body. Looking up with a flush look on her dark face, looking him in the eyes. She can only see concerns and an apologetic look from the young man. Still, feeling the underlying attraction to him that she could barely keep it under control. Thinking it will be a long year training him and the others if she is to fight her urges to him all the time. Considering how attractive he has become and how strong his aura is affected her. She still can't believe he is the shy boy she saw the other day when he told him he had to summon a skeleton servant.

To change the topic, she cast a spell upon his skeleton. The aura around the skeleton is blue, which surprises her. She is a Gold tier, fifth rank necromancer. The skeleton should be gray. With it being blue, it is close to the silver tier, Casting the spell again on Wilber, and it shows him to be green. Meaning he jump a tier from bronze to copper. The skeleton is stronger than him but lesser than her by a tier. She guesses he is close to copper tier ten, but how can it be. And the skeleton is calmly following his orders. He should be fighting the skeleton control all the time, keeping it from breaking the contract.

"Why did you wait so long to summon a skeleton. You should be Silver-tier rank nine or ten at your age?"

Surprise that she noticed, he thought quickly. "My father did not want to waste money and resources on a worthless class. My father looks upon necromancers as beneath even normal people. He is a Knight-tier Spell Sword that is about to step into Baron Tier. And he sees necromancer as cannon fodder to be used to protect a town or city until the real magic-users or warriors get there."

Nodding her head to him in understanding. Both she and Wilber are necromancers. She fought hard to reach the gold tier, only to be looked down upon by others. Necromancers are looked down upon so much that it was easy for her to get a teaching position here. Because a slot that has been open for twenty years in teaching necromancy and dark magic has always been available because no one wanted it. Most necromancers are self-taught or trained by the military to help supplement their troops' rank. Compared to teaching, the army pays more.

"Okay, you can put your skeleton away, but you might want to take the noble dress off her or buy her an average dress to wear. Even though it is in tatters, if a nobleman finds out that you have one of their kind as a skeleton, they will make your life a living hell." She comments as she points at the servant.

"Leeka, you can go until I call you." he turns to his servant.

After glaring at Miss Gordon, the skeletal maid stares at her for her comments about losing the dress. Shane Gordon shivered as the killing glaze of the skeleton left her. 'Strong.'

Leeka vanishes into a cloud of black mist and funnels into Wilber's right wrist, turning into a tattoo of a bloody rose with an L burn into his wrist. The burning of the tattoo was painful. He fell to his knees hold his wrist. An immeasurable pain seems to etch itself upon his soul. As the pain subsided, a bell went off in his head.

[Successfully bound Leeka Barnes to your soul. You may summon her twenty-four hours after she has been defeated.]
