21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 521 - 517 Successful Job Change (Request for Subscription, Request for Monthly Tickets)

Compared to when Chen Yu underwent his class change ceremony—with his flesh scorched by the Netherworld Flame—or to Jounouchi Hiromi's bloodbath cocooning, Misumi Mikoto's ritual seemed rather uneventful.

Because what Chen Yu prepared for her was the traditional Necromancer class change ceremony. Even though they used an entire Bipedal Flying Dragon as a sacrifice, she didn't gain a Dragon Bloodline like Jounouchi Hiromi but only received a physical enhancement.

Moreover, Chen Yu obviously didn't afford the luxury of providing eight Acolytes to his disciple—not that he couldn't afford it, but because Chen Yu believed that as a teacher, he shouldn't prepare everything for her. Misumi Mikoto, aspiring to become a qualified Necromancer, needed to learn to be self-reliant.

Teaching a disciple and nurturing a wife were two entirely different concepts. A wife naturally could use any resource because what belongs to the spouse belongs to the self—Jounouchi Hiromi didn't need to become self-reliant apart from him.

But Misumi Mikoto, this disciple, was different. In the tradition of Necromancers, there wasn't a custom of keeping disciples close by. Once the teaching was sufficient, it was time to kick them out of the Mage Tower and let them become independent, responsible for themselves.

This was also why Chen Yu did not transform her into a Necromancer and impart the Necromancer's legacy to her when he first took on Misumi Mikoto as a disciple but instead chose to teach her step by step.

True, acquiring the legacy of the Eight Great Factions through a class change ceremony was a one-off convenience, but precisely because such a method existed, for Necromancers, taking on disciples was more about valuing the disciple's aptitude and character.

After all, for Necromancers, if it was just to increase the number of spell-casting units at their disposal, wouldn't it be simpler and more trouble-free to summon a few Skeleton Mages rather than cultivating a disciple?

A truly worthy disciple not only needed to be eager to learn but also had to possess a sufficiently tenacious will and character.

Every Necromancer had a different way of selecting disciples. Some set them free to survive or perish on their own, favoring only those who managed to stand strong and self-sufficient; some practiced Gu cultivation, letting their disciples fight and kill each other, competing to emerge as the strongest and thereby becoming the true disciple; others...

Of course, most were like Chen Yu—taking on those they took a liking to and who possessed some talent, casually instructing them and guiding them toward becoming real Necromancers once they met with satisfaction.

Watching Misumi Mikoto, who had just completed her class change ceremony and reappeared before him, Chen Yu clapped his hands and congratulated her, "Congratulations, from now on, Meiqin, you are a true Necromancer."

"Thank you, Teacher!" Misumi Mikoto was still feeling the changes within herself. Hearing Chen Yu's congratulations, she hurriedly responded to him.

However, as she lowered her head, intending to bow to Chen Yu in gratitude, she noticed that her clothes had transformed into a green robe, and she was holding a green-covered book in her arms.

The robe looked like it was made from the wings of the bipedal flying dragon that had just been used as a sacrifice. Several thorn bones, resembling spikes, served as support, allowing the emerald dragon skin to wrap around Misumi Mikoto's body, more like a cape than a robe. At the neckline, there was also a bony decoration in the shape of a dragon's head.

Although Misumi Mikoto wasn't particularly fond of this type of fantastical design, she still liked the robe itself, at least she found the color quite beautiful.

Noticing Misumi Mikoto sizing up her new robe, Chen Yu explained, "When the sacrificial offering is powerful enough, you can acquire some equipment that comes with it. The sacrifice I prepared for you was a bipedal flying dragon, so you received this Dragon Wing Robe as your accompanying equipment, and you can control it."

Hearing Chen Yu say this, Misumi Mikoto tried to fold up the robe she was wearing. After all, wearing such a garment was fine around Chen Yu, but it would be too eye-catching if she wore it outside.

However, as Misumi Mikoto followed the newfound knowledge in her mind to fold up the robe, she instantly unfolded it again upon realizing that her clothes had been destroyed during the ritual.

Realizing her clothes had been destroyed, Misumi Mikoto glared at Chen Yu, feeling he deliberately wanted to see her embarrassed.

Seeing Misumi Mikoto's reaction, Chen Yu awkwardly explained, "The ritual will destroy clothing, which is something both Hiromi and I have experienced. Sorry, I forgot to warn you. However, this serves as a reminder and warning for you, Meiqin. Meticulous observation, self-judgment, and analysis are indispensable at any time. If you had thought it through earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

"Yes, I understand, Teacher," Misumi Mikoto said, nodding obediently after being told off by Chen Yu.

Having undergone the class transition ritual and acquired knowledge about the Necromancer, her understanding of the power of Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi deepened. When Chen Yu spoke seriously, she instinctively felt fear, especially with Hiromi Jounouchi standing by Chen Yu's side, whose threatening presence made her want to run away.

"During my class transition ritual, Mr. Chen Yu used a giant dragon as a sacrifice, which is why I gained the dragon bloodline and strength. A big part of why you're afraid of me is because the sacrifice used for you was a bipedal flying dragon," Hiromi Jounouchi explained, perhaps noticing Misumi Mikoto's fear. "The bipedal flying dragon is a Dragon Beast from the Sub-Dragon Species and is innately suppressed by the dragon might of giant dragons. Even though I've restrained my dragon might, you can still feel the suppression from a superior bloodline. Just ignore it, it won't affect you."

Hiromi Jounouchi's explanation allowed Misumi Mikoto to breathe a sigh of relief, but it also made her enviously think, a real giant dragon! The teacher really treats his wife well!

But beyond her feeling of awe and envy, Misumi Mikoto quickly suppressed such emotions. Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi were husband and wife, and she was just a disciple. She was very clear about the difference. Although Misumi Mikoto's heart wasn't without regret that she hadn't met Chen Yu first to become his girlfriend, she still maintained her dignity and pride and would not try to take someone else's boyfriend.

"Alright, Meiqin, now that you have completed the class transition ritual, go take a bath and get some rest. After dinner, I'll take you home," Chen Yu suggested, considering that Misumi Mikoto had been busy for three days straight.

Reminded by Chen Yu, Misumi Mikoto felt exhaustion throughout her body and didn't decline. She nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Teacher!"
