Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

Unicorn Ranch Mass Death Case (1)

When we returned to the academy after sending the Duke of Beltern and the Ice Castle, a lecture was waiting for us.

Special lectures that have increased dramatically for the fortress.

It’s because Russell’s intrusion caused a lot of injuries to the faculty and the class didn’t work properly.

Fortunately, most of them are at a level that can be recovered with a little time.

In addition, due to the timely evacuation, there is no damage to the students.

When I got to the classroom after breaking up with the seniors in the nap club, I felt a more excited atmosphere than I expected.

He takes up the empty seat for me and Elfriede and listens carefully.

“What about this special lecture?”

“Major Selection Guide Course.”

“ah…”

A special lecture given about the major subject to be selected in the second year.

I know it was originally done after the midterm exam, but it seems to have been pulled a little to make up for the absence of the professors.

It was at this point that I began to seriously think about my future career path.

Actually, I don’t think I can go to school right now, but…

The education provided by this academy is very attractive.

You can tell just by looking at the skills Russell used last time, such as the aura of repatriation.

knowledge is power

And in this academy, knowledge is everywhere.

It is easy to drop out right now, but there is no chance to receive education from this academy again.

The Royal Magnus Summoning Academy does not allow re-entry.

It would be better to take a major class first and choose a little more carefully.

I want to go catch and kill Russell right now, but I can’t be in a hurry.

As I was thinking about it, Elfriede asked cautiously next to me.

“Louis… What subject do you like?”

“Well.”

As I opened the booklet on the desk, I unintentionally responded roughly.

It is not just one or two subjects that stand out right now.

There are more than 10 major subjects listed in the booklet alone.

It makes me wonder if I can teach the students properly by dividing them into such fine pieces.

If I do a rough calculation, an average of 8 students enter each subject every year.

Of course, it is the combined number of the 2nd class Howard was in.

Medusha, who was sticking her head next to me, murmured as if she had received a similar sentiment.

“It’s a lot more detailed than I thought.”

“There’s nothing I can do about it. Because this academy is the kingdom’s largest training and research institute for summoning arts… It’s impossible to consolidate at will because the department’s popularity is low.”

Such a thing is scientifically unimaginable.

Realizing where our academy’s enormous deficit was coming from, I carefully scanned the names of the departments.

The first thing that catches your eye is repatriation.

This is a popular course chosen by Christine.

Techniques that return a pet to its original dimension are always useful.

Russell immediately proved its power in the recent invasion.

But it didn’t really appeal to me.

I can steal or tie up the other person’s link anyway…

I don’t even want to use the aura of repatriation myself.

This is because Ethel and Laurier, who present intense pressure from both sides, are very vulnerable to repatriation techniques.

‘You should go to the side of saving your strengths rather than sealing them.’

Of course, if you use Repatriation Aura, you will not be able to use Ethel and Laurier properly.

They are S-Rank Specialized Summons that show great power in their field.

It’s too wasteful to seal it up just to use the aura of repatriation.

Russell binds his opponent with the aura of repatriation and can slash them with the aura blade, so the situation is very different from this one.

Summoned Beast Healing is popular, but it is out of the question.

After graduating, I can become a vassal of a great aristocrat, but my occupation is Earl of El Cloud.

Even Maria’s major, Alchemy Summoning, isn’t very appealing.

Wasn’t the gunpowder used at the time of the last incident related to Earth?

If you touch it the wrong way, the family may be destroyed.

“My maidservant said that my summoning swordsmanship skills are not promising… Sylvia, are you going this way?”

“No. Summoning swordsmanship has already been taught by the best. I want to choose the same major as the master.”

but.

I’m a little sorry for the summoning swordsman who fought hard in the last battle, but…

He didn’t seem to be any better than the maid.

Or maybe Russell is already a piece of meat.

Sylvia put a lot of pressure on my shoulders, which made my shoulders heavier.

Summoned beasts, who have been watching from the side, want to go out at this time.

“I already have the best spirits, so what are you hesitating about? Let’s just go to Spirit Summoning. The professor there will do a great job.”

“No. Elemental Summoning is too weak for Repatriation. Lewis is much more suited to Artifact Crafting or Artifact Summoning.”

“Aha. Do you want more expensive jewelry or accessories?”

“Master, I think I’d love to create artifacts too!”

Persia, who pricked up her ears at Laurier’s pint glasses, said with a small waggle of her tail.

I fed him a little honey chestnut and turned my eyes to the professor who entered just in time.

Unfortunately, the professor’s explanation was not very helpful.

I already knew enough about each department.

Feeling that I needed some more personal advice, I opened the Summoner’s Book.

It was a little awkward because there was hardly any contact from me.

When I selected one of the communication cards on the back of the bookshelf and activated it, I heard a voice immediately.

Ersa, who was in charge of the treatment of the academy’s professors, said annoyedly.

“Louis, I’m busy with your handsome older brother, what’s going on!”

“Because it’s not our older brother… It’s been a long time since I lost my heart. I was expelled from the family.”

A small snort came back when I bet on the joke that I couldn’t just ignore.

“He also uses link stealing.”

“Ah, that’s…”

“Okay, okay. I’m not your brother, so tell me quickly. I’m really busy. Hey, don’t do more blood transfusions there!”

Beyond the communication card, the sounds of cutting and pasting skins and the moans of patients were constantly heard.

The academy’s professors as well as the Jinshin summons who participated in the battle seem to be being treated by her.

I went into the main topic with a sense of regret for nothing.

“I contacted you for my career counseling. The professor has been appointed as my advisor…”

“Yeah, I designated it. If another professor interrupts, you hit the goal. Then I’ll make time this Saturday.”

“thank you.”

As soon as the communication was finished, Medusha, who was sitting next to him, said with a dissatisfied face.

“If you talk to the summoning beast healing professor, wouldn’t it be natural to choose the summoned beast therapy?”

“Ah, maybe.”

Laughing at the preconceived notions of prejudice, I was forced to harden my face at Saturday’s interview.

A high-class restaurant where students can’t afford to spend their money.

Ersa, who went out to get lunch there, said with a grin.

“What are you hesitating about? You just have to learn summoning beast healing.”

“professor…”

“Don’t be shy. I’m joking.”

Still, the educator’s spirit is not very bad.

I swept my chest at her words and headed to the dining room.

Others seemed to have noticed that she was still spending a lot of money, but fortunately, the restaurant she chose was owned by the Duke of Welttern.

Ersa must also have chosen because she knew I was going to be with Elfriede.

After leaving the academy on the weekend and facing the autumn wind, the destination appeared before long.

The clerk who was cleaning the front of the store finds Medusha and Elfriede, and runs in with a warlike expression.

Before long, not only the hall but also the staff in the kitchen rushed out and greeted them all at once.

Thanks to you, my face got hot for nothing.

It was a bit early for lunch, so it was fortunate that there were no other customers.

As he forcibly lifted his head and passed through the wide open door, a cat of a familiar color snuggled up to the side.

I stutter a little bit in embarrassment at her appearance.

“Professor Eolin?”

“Hey, when did this bastard come back? Get out now!”

Either Ersa is terrified or not.

Eolin slowly walked up to the table prepared for us.

“I overheard you earlier. Career counseling? Let’s join in too.”

“What kind of guy never listened to me even if the dean asked me to take over as an advisor…”

“Yeah, other students don’t have such a fancy restaurant.”

While Ersa and Eolin are in trouble.

Persia wiped her front feet well with the wet towel the clerk gave her, and placed it politely on the table.

The table manners are top-notch with the fox theme.

“Louis, I’m this. Stir-fried Chili Shrimp!”

“Jellyfish naengchae would also be delicious. To be able to eat fresh seafood in the middle of the continent. Beltern is amazing.”

Ethel and Laurie looked at the menu instead of me.

I’m glad it’s not a food that will make you gain a lot of weight today.

Medusha, who saw it, told me to just bring them one by one, and the cooks rushed in.

Ersa looks at me with a slightly disturbed gaze and starts counseling.

“Are you eating like this every day? It seems that the road ahead is already open, do you really need career counseling?”

“professor…”

“You have to take the student’s advice seriously. Say something, El Cloud.”

Eolin, who gave the pint glass playfully, stretched out on the table.

From now on, as if he was going to eat a lot, he was warming up.

I smiled bitterly and confessed my worries about choosing a major.

After hearing my explanation, Eolin expressed her doubts.

“But, isn’t it a bit odd to choose a major to kill Russell?

“Not at all.”

She shook her head in denial, and the cat’s face was colored with interest.

I am the rightful owner of Count El Cloud.

It is unbearable for me to fall behind Russell.

“If possible, I must kill or capture myself to recover El Cloud’s honor, even a little. At least, it must not be inferior to him.”

“You’re savvy in a strange place. Oh, I’m not saying you don’t like it.”

While Eolin grinned, Ersa summoned a thin document.

As you can see, it looks like they prepared it to pay for the rice.

“Russell Elcloud’s academic record. I got it from the faculty meeting.”

“Can I take it out?”

“Of course. It’s weird to protect information against terrorists and dimensional taboo violators. No problem.”

Ersa, who nodded proudly at Eolin’s question, begins to recite the contents of the register.

“Of course, he majored in repatriation. His grades were in the upper-intermediate level. His performance in summoning swordsmanship, not even his major, was unprecedented. Instead, he almost failed several times in subjects he wasn’t interested in. I think the professor covered it.”

“I wasn’t a good student. If it’s natural, it’s natural.”

As expected, it was not very valuable information.

Garbage left behind by the Warp Watch.

Any in-depth information they would have confiscated earlier.

Looking back on the last battle, we decided to take measures against him.

“Russell has three main weapons besides the Phoenix. The top-notch swordsmanship that almost killed the summoning swordsman professor, the aura of repatriation, and finally the stealing of the deteriorated version of Link…”

“After all, the second one is the most annoying.”

“Yes. Most of the summoning skills are sealed when the repatriation aura is unfolding, so you have to find a way out in the other direction.”

As Ersa chimed in, Medusha, who was eating chicken legs, snorted.

“As long as I have truly descended, it is over. There will be no second chance for him.”

“I am always grateful.”

I expressed my gratitude in a dry way, but on the other hand, I thought it was too early to be reassured.

Russell’s party pushed the dimensional watchdog and the academy’s faculty for a while.

If we hadn’t removed the gunpowder beforehand, we could have suffered a devastating defeat.

Russell’s phoenix is a fire attribute pet, so the hotter the battlefield, the stronger it gets.

He was the one who even harmed Eshas’ contractors while destroying the gates of the academy, so one Medusa should be enough.

In the first place, there was no way he could have wagered a fight against Esshas without having the confidence to face the SS rank.

The professors, who had been arguing over the aura of repatriation, soon began to name various majors.

“Artifact crafting?”

“Artifacts are not safe from repatriation. In the first place, almost all of this dimension’s magic is based on summoning techniques…”

“In that case, there is only one left, so what. Are you on the side of being the deputy chief?”

“No, no matter how you look at it, this is the correct answer? El Cloud also has a lot of magic power. Even if its efficiency is a bit lower, it will be a powerful weapon.”

The end of the story, which had progressed somewhat chaotically, was in sight.

I could not even guess the identity of the major they were talking about, so I asked carefully.

“Are there any majors that are not affected by repatriation?”

“Yes, the Department of Classical Magic. It is an elite major under the direct control of the dean.”

“Classic magic?”

Sylvia repeats suspiciously at the somewhat unfamiliar name.

That’s right… The name of the Department of Classical Magic wasn’t even in the pamphlet of the last special lecture.

There was no summoning and prophecy class that only selected talents could learn, but that’s not a good sign.

Eolin shook her head vigorously as if to shake off our anxiety.

“Don’t worry! Classic magic is perfect for El Cloud, which has a lot of unnecessary magic. Eshas also uses classical magic!”

“What the hell are you dealing with there?”

“All magic except Summoning. So it’s not officially registered.”

“yes?”

The name is Summoning Academy, is it okay to have such a major?

As we continued to doubt our doubts, Eolin turned to the food that had just been served.

“Eat some salmon for a second… mmm! It melts in your mouth!”

I turned to Ersa and asked for help.

She also looks like she is seriously thinking about the Department of Classical Magic.

“How many students are there now?”

“No. Was the last graduate three years ago?”

“Hey, where is he and what is he doing now?”

“I committed suicide because I chose the wrong major.

“…”

Closing my eyes tightly for a moment, I quickly took Eolin’s plate.

Having been deprived of her food, she protested fiercely, raising her jaw.
