Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

chief (2)

Usually, summoning is done in three major steps.

1. Open the door of the dimension with the goal.

2. After searching for the beast beyond the portal.

3. Sign a contract and build a link and you’re done.

The reason why the academy recommends lower level spirits is because the cost is low and the difficulty level is also low.

Opening a portal to the spirit world is the basis of elemental summoning.

Even half a penny like me can do it in an instant.

So, 1 pass naturally.

As Beyrington showed earlier, number three is easy.

If you entice a lower level spirit with a spirit stone, it will fall over in an instant.

Besides, the spirit world was originally half water and half meat.

It’s an environment with so many spirits that you can run into a spirit even if you open it roughly anywhere, so you should be able to do it twice easily…

I got stuck at number 2 every time.

They didn’t even get a chance to try a contract.

It’s hard to say it’s simply bad luck.

The summoning circle I’m using right now was made by the spirit summoning professor himself.

I took a picture of the lower spirit’s habitat and made it open, but somehow I can’t even see the nose.

The time limit, which had flown in impatience, quickly ran out.

Eventually, the Spirit Stone, which has reached the end of its lifespan, falls to the floor helplessly.

The professor’s voice pierced my confused ears.

“Louise Elcloud. Get out of here.”

“professor…”

“I can’t help it. I’ll talk about it later at the faculty meeting.”

I left the classroom behind the somewhat obligatory comforting professor.

The spectators who bet on the bet exchange coins.

An unpleasant laugh from Elfriede, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Beltern.

There was still a lecture left today, but I didn’t care.

If there is no summons anyway, you cannot participate in the rest of the class.

As I ran to the outskirts of the academy as if running away from everyone, a half-rotten bench appeared.

Tired of running, I slumped down on it.

A side door that is not often used by current students.

It’s still a busy time for lectures, so it’s even rarer.

I sighed and turned my head to see a familiar back face.

Medusha is squatting in the bushes and looking at the pet snack shop.

The sparrow egg beyond the show window is his target.

The same composition as when I first met Medusa.

I walked into the snack shop half-depressed.

“Huh, Lewis?”

As soon as I left the store, I had a bird egg, a mouse, and a chicken in my hand.

I feel a little pitiful, but… I didn’t really care because he was raised as a snack from the beginning.

Seeing my basket, Medusha jumps up from her seat and brightens her eyes.

Buying someone else’s pet snacks for a subject that even failed to summon a spirit.

I’m also pretty dumb

When I go back to the bench, blaming myself again, the guy follows me.

I handed the new egg first without being too fussy.

It seems that Elfriede doesn’t even buy snacks like this for her pets.

Hell, he has a lot of powerful summons besides Medusha.

Even though his name is S rank, isn’t he being too ignorant?

If I were a Summoner of Medusha, I’d do much better than him.

As she was thinking in vain, Medusha stuck out her tongue and swallowed the egg in its shell.

It rolls in your mouth for a while, then you swallow it deliciously, and thank you later.

“Thank you. You’ve been taken care of again. Elfriede doesn’t buy these things because they’re disgusting…”

“Yes? How about snake pets eating eggs?”

“That’s right. It’s like a narrow-minded guy.”

Medusha, who was nodding her head excitedly after giving me a rough match, belatedly checked my condition.

Seeing that I didn’t have a summoned beast with me yet, as if I had just noticed the situation, my expression quickly darkened.

“Isn’t the summoning of the spirits… not going well?”

“Yeah… just looking at me makes me feel like I’m running away.”

“It’s a thing of the past. Forget it quickly and find another summoned beast.”

Medusha’s little hand pats me on the back.

I was grateful for her comfort, but also resented her.

The cost of summoning other summons is much higher than that of the spirit, so how do you challenge it?

The guy who took the chicken out of the basket and ate it read my complexion.

“Isn’t it impossible?”

“Yes. There is no summoning fee…”

“Hey, what are you talking about? Isn’t the Count of El Cloud a prestigious enough to exchange conversations with our family?”

As if she was genuinely perplexed, Medusha stuttered a bit.

I was a little surprised to see him refer to the Dukes of Beltern as ‘our family’.

After all, it was because he was a noble family, so he definitely instilled a sense of ownership in his summons.

By the way, the conversation between El Cloud and Beltern, when the hell was it?

I smiled bitterly, correcting her misunderstanding.

“That was before my brother ran away with the family’s pet.”

It was before I was even born that my eldest brother, who doesn’t know his face, had an accident…

How does Medusa know that?

He looks older than he looks.

The guy who was conscious of my gaze raised his voice a little.

“I heard from my sister after being summoned to this world. Anyway… Then it’s a big deal. Is there any other place to get money?”

When she shook her head helplessly, Medusha’s face was stained with compassion.

He’s an incredibly nice guy for an S-rank pet.

After a while, he decided to do something and recited his plan.

“No way. I asked Elfriede…”

“Please don’t. If you don’t want to see me die.”

It wasn’t enough to flirt with your summons, so you put in a waste of wind?

Elfriede, who is proud of herself, can’t leave it alone.

It’s going to be hard for me, but if the eldest daughter of the duke is filmed, it’s really over.

Medusha, who had a confused expression on her face, looked down at the accessories she was wearing.

I quickly intercepted her before she started talking nonsense.

“Are you sure you won’t be caught by Princess Beltern?”

“That’s… no. Um, I’m sorry I couldn’t be of any help. If it’s only to introduce servants from the hometown dimension…”

Medusha’s servants are about rank B~A.

The cost will not be a joke even if you call it once.

This is a level that I can’t even open my mouth to say that someone else feeds me.

Feeling deeply saddened, the boy stomped his feet as he refused.

“But if you don’t have a summons, you can’t stay at the academy.”

“That’s right.”

it’s cumbersome

Medusha genuinely cared for me, despite my rude replies.

It seems that the occasional snack had a positive effect.

Seeing him restless, I once again had vain thoughts.

If I had been a Summoner of Medusha, I would have done much better than I am now.

Isn’t it disqualification as a Summoner to leave your summons unattended like this?

Even if I chew on Elfriede inside, Medusha will never become mine.

The link established by the Duke of Beltern, one of the greatest nobles in the kingdom, is very strong.

If the summoner is a horse, and the summoner is a rider, Link is the reins.

Of course, strong reins are required in order to control a summoned beast that has an S rank.

It’s not at a level that an idiot summoner like me can snatch at will.

Even if you commit a crime, you can’t take it back.

After all, Medusha, who had emptied the basket, jumped up from her seat with a look as if she had made up her mind to do something.

He clenched his fists at me and left without even knowing it.

“Don’t worry too much. I’ll do something about it. I’m the snake god’s Medusha.

“Ah, because I can’t!”

it’s a big deal

Belatedly, he got up to catch up with Medusha, but the movement speed of the S-Rank pet was no joke.

After losing her in the end, I returned the empty basket to the store and tumbled back to the dormitory.

The Royal Magnus Summoning Academy is the cutting edge of summoning technology research and the pride of the kingdom.

Moreover, due to the nature of the summoning school, all dormitories are luxurious single rooms.

Of course, it can’t even block the cries of the summons at night.

I went into a room with too much space and closed my eyes tightly.

If you can’t find a summons quickly, it’s farewell to this place.

But no matter how much I turn my head, there is no way.

As I continued to ponder without promises, the sun was setting.

I was thinking about going to bed early because I didn’t even think about having dinner.

Suddenly, from outside the window, a clever, beak-like sound was heard.

“what?”

Astonished, I opened the window and saw a small, handsome bird.

An E-rank pet used for mail delivery.

Although it lacks combat power, it has high intelligence, so it is as expensive as some C ranks.

Unless you are a wealthy aristocrat, it is a luxury that cannot be afforded.

The guy who checked my face put the letter he was holding in his beak on the window sill and went back.

I unwrapped the rolled up letter with an uneasy feeling.

“Don’t do that…”

Under the seal of the Duke of Beltern, the handwriting that shows fierce anger.

Medusha’s summoner, Elfriede, was specifying the location and time.

Unfortunately, the format is more suitable for a duel rather than an invitation.

Threats to kill me if I don’t show up seem to fill the bottom of the stationery with transparent letters.

The time limit for sending a letter on the same day is tight.

I made up my mind and left the dormitory.

He didn’t have the guts to ignore the woman who would become the master of the Duke of Jamcha Beltern.

Besides… Maybe Medusa might have made a miracle happen.

Drunk with hopeless anticipation, you go to your appointment.

It is a rare place because there are only old sports facilities and buildings for club activities.

Thinking it wasn’t a very good sign, I took a step, and Elfriede was waiting for me in the dark.

Next to the angry princess, there are five summoned beasts.

Even with a freshman’s level of magical power, he wouldn’t be able to draw out all of Medusha’s power…

Instead of laughing at her bravado, I felt envious.

When Medusha on the other side greeted me and waved her hand, Elfriede struck it with a cold expression.

“Stop it. Louise Elcloud! What the hell were you thinking of tricking other people’s pets into talking nonsense? Did I look so easy-going?”

The reaction was roughly expected.

I narrowed the distance a little to make excuses.

“I’m sorry, but I didn’t do it…”

“Wait. Isn’t it enough to just summon one? Lewis doesn’t seem to have a good compatibility with spirits, so a different type of summoned beast…”

“Why do I have to do that!”

Medusha pours oil into the house on fire.

Elfriede’s shout echoed through the campus of the quiet night.

As if she had been hurt by the pride of her S-Rank summons, Medusha responded with a noticeably cold voice.

“Because I want it. Do I need another reason?”

When a summons with an original S rank asks for a favor, they tend to just nod their heads.

The eldest daughter of the noble family, the Duke of Beltern, was not so easy.

She looks at me instead of her summons.

“El Cloud!”

“I would be so annoyed to ask for help from a classmate who is in trouble. He was a much narrower summoner than I thought. I was disappointed in you.”

I will welcome

Medusha is a summoned beast powerful enough to be worshiped as a snake god in her hometown dimension.

So, it’s natural to build self-esteem like that, but…

This time, I had to consider Elfriede’s mood a little more.

Elfriede hates me.

A long time ago, when the Dukes of Beltern and the Dukes of El Cloud were talking about marriage.

Because it was me who was seriously considered for her engagement.

Of course, when our family collapsed, it became a thing of the past…

In Elfriede’s eyes, the current situation would not be really pleasing.

Because it would appear that the fiance who dropped out a long time ago covets his summoned beast.

In the end, Elfriede could not stand it and finally exploded.

“What are you doing? Scold that motherfucker. If you break an arm or a leg, you won’t be able to approach him again.”

The summoned beasts, including Medusha, turned around at once.

I gasped at the increasingly twisted situation.
