Strongest Necromancer System-Chapter 113: Let’s Have Dinner

"I talked with my mum about it and figured I might as well finish the final year since I’m only a few months away from graduation. Besides, I already made enough money to last me for a while."

Miss Harold smiled happily. That was a very smart way to look at things. It was the exact same thing that most of the superhumans in the school were doing. They planned to only finish compulsory education to get a good foundation, after which they would ignore college and simply join a guild. The principal gave Jason another respectful smile before her face finally eased into a more serious look. This time she spoke with some hardness behind her voice.

"I’m glad you decided to complete your education, and you should never doubt that I will always root for you in the future. But I would also like to point out that things will be very different now that you are a superhuman. This school is not solely for educating superhumans, so there has been a lot of discussion between the staff and parents about the safety of regular humans who are at a significant disadvantage physically. I promised the parents that they didn’t have to worry about anything since every superhuman understands their limits and signed a binding contract when entering the school to ensure they didn’t step out of bounds.

"As someone who awakened rather late in life, we’ve never had to deal with your ’unique’ situation before, but I want to believe we won’t have any issues even with the suddenness of the situation. Are you willing to sign the contract that the other superhuman students signed? It basically states that you will face dire consequences if you consciously cause harm to any student with your abilities. Nothing too serious."

Jason hummed. That was something new to him. Jason never really paid attention to what was happening in the superhuman world, so he didn’t think it would be this complicated just to go to school. But he understood. He could cause a lot of damage to the students here without even trying, so they needed a way to make sure he was kept in line.

Jason didn’t intend to hurt anyone anyway, so signing a contract was fine. There was nothing a regular human could do to cause him any harm.

"I’ll sign it. Can we do it right now or should I come back some other time?"

Jason spoke up, and Miss Harold smiled thankfully before reaching into her drawer and producing the contract. Jason leaned back and began to read through the document as she watched him. Jason wasn’t a lawyer, but the contract was really just a single piece of paper that had a few paragraphs written down. It basically stated that the superhumans signing it promises not to cause any conscious destruction to the school property or personnel or they will be faced with ’sufficient’ punishment as directed by the law.

It was simple enough that even a middle schooler would be able to understand everything there. And besides, Jason trusted Miss Harold enough not to lead him astray. Jason signed the document, and Miss Harold thanked him before she stood and walked around the table, bending over to give Jason another tight hug.

"I just want to say I’m glad you’re okay again, Jason. I don’t know what I would’ve done without your silly jokes. Do you have time later? Maybe we can get something to eat when I get off work."

Jason hummed as he thought about it and finally shook his head.

"Sorry, my girlfriend’s going to be waiting for me at home, so I need to get back as soon as possible."

Miss Harold blinked as she pulled back. Oh...?

"Girlfriend? I didn’t know you had a girlfriend. That’s nice."

"Yeah, my childhood friend, Gina. We started going out recently."

"W-Wow. That’s... nice."

Miss Harold shook her head and laughed softly before she gave Jason an honest smile and spoke up.

"If you’re going to be busy, it’s fine. Maybe we can reschedule. I just wanted us to catch up and make sure you’re doing okay. Well, you better get to class now. We’ll talk some other time."

Miss Harold gestured towards the door and Jason nodded in understanding before he stood and left. Once he was gone, Miss Harold fell back into her seat to stare up at the ceiling and let out a suffering sigh. She already knew that she and Jason would never work out, but she still felt pain in her heart.

...

Jason walked to class with a slightly guilty expression. Jason wasn’t an idiot and he could tell that the principal liked him right from the moment they met two years ago. But Jason knew that they wouldn’t work, not just because of their age difference, but because he had been in love with Gina even back then.

The way Miss Harold always hugged him and the way she smiled at his jokes were obvious tells that she liked him as more than a friend, and Jason had actually allowed his actual age to slip into one of their conversations so he would discourage her advances. Thankfully, she wasn’t someone who would relentlessly pursue a romantic interest regardless of the consequences, so he didn’t have to worry about her trying to force herself on him.

The walkway leading into the classes was already deserted since the bell rang a few minutes ago, and Jason walked past a few classes that were already in session. The students in the classes would all stop whatever they were doing to stare at the door whenever he passed, and he tried his best to ignore them since he already knew this was normal for superhumans.

The regular students were all in awe of the superhumans in the school, and since they were all young, they treated them the same way you would treat a celebrity that you met on the street. They gawked and stared while debating whether or not to go up for a picture and an autograph. But thankfully, after a while, their interest would die down and things would go back to normal. It had happened so many times already that Jason already knew what to expect.

[Eye of The King] has been activated

Jason suddenly activated his Legion skill and the space in front of him blurred as another scene played in his head. The scene was from the eyes of the two large wolves that were looking after the princess back in his house, and Jason saw that they were both lying on the ground watching the princess closely. The princess was still on his bed and Jason frowned slightly as he wondered why she hadn’t woken up already.

Was there some other injury she had that was preventing her from waking up? It’s been nearly a whole day since she passed out, so shouldn’t she already be getting herself back? Jason decided that he would try to wake her up once he got back. Maybe she just needed some sort of stimulus or something.

Jason deactivated the skill and his eyes turned red as he activated his [Predator’s Gaze] while passing in front of a large window. Jason looked outside the building and scanned the horizon for any signs of the agent who had been following him around, and Jason frowned when he didn’t see her. Jason had recalled Fenrir back into the Alternate Dimension when the sun started to rise this morning so no one would see him, but he was able to see the agent following him when he was coming to school earlier. But now that she wasn’t there anymore, Jason wondered where she had gone.
