Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

New Face(3)

Thanks to catching the transforming beast, our hunting has been accelerated.

The guy sealed in the card didn’t help capture the summons, but thanks to him, I was able to get a rough idea of the surrounding ecology.

“Even if it’s this guy, it’ll be impossible to transform into something he hasn’t seen in person. So, the rare pets he transformed into, such as Golden Drake, Corpse Stalker, and Shadow Lizard, are actually living nearby.”

“Then it would be good to find those summons first.”

Thanks to a rough grasp of what kind of summoned beasts were around, the effort required for the search was greatly reduced.

We were able to catch them in not long after we practiced tracking techniques suitable for each summoned beast.

Eventually, as sunset came, a loud horn was heard from the base camp.

A return signal from the hunters of the hunting grounds.

The event lasts for about three days, but today ends here.

Even the students of our academy are too dangerous to hunt at night.

When I returned to base camp with a light heart, I saw students with droopy shoulders eating dinner.

Most of them didn’t seem to get the summons they wanted.

Of course, there are still two days left, so there is no need to be disappointed already.

Having already achieved satisfactory results, we passed the students’ temporary housing and headed towards the entrance office.

The employee, who was dozing while sitting on the chair, was startled, as if he had not thought that there would already be a returnee.

We showed him his new minions with it or not.

“Now, please check.”

“Where… Golden Drake, Corpse Stalker, Griffon and Shadow Lizard?”

“Wow, were there griffons and shadow lizards in our area?”

“The griffon over there. I found the shadow lizard over there.”

As we pointed out the discovery point, the hunting grounds managers quickly marked it on the map.

The gaze that looked at the slightly frightened summons turned to the magical cat in front of me, and turned with a smile.

It might look awkward because there is one B-rank between the rare and powerful A-rank.

Of course, this guy was transformed into the summoned beast he captured earlier.

“Okay. From the first day, you’re only getting rid of all the junk.”

“Then, is it better to go full for three days?”

“It would be an honor if the Count and his companions stayed for a long time.”

We passed through the entrance hall, sharing jokes with jokes, and then we crossed the portal and returned to the academy’s plaza.

The members, tired of wandering through the wide and dense forest, disbanded without hesitation.

I got a summons once, but this is the real start.

We need to tame these guys and make them reliable companions.

The newly acquired summons have not even been linked yet.

I decided to decide on a name first.

The guy who turned into a cat looks up at me with a confused expression.

“Don’t be so scared. I won’t eat you. If you act too stuffy, I don’t know…”

“Master! What’s his name?”

“Well… by the way, what’s your gender? Does it matter because you can transform?”

“No. This guy has been female since Golden Drake.”

Ethel, who shows off her unparalleled observation skills.

Thanks to you, I got a strand with a female name.

Persia, who was constantly hovering around the new junior, murmured without thinking.

“Martha?”

“It feels a bit common…”

“Then Leticia. Emel. Grisha. Penelope. Emra…”

“Hey, what’s so much?”

Now that I see it, it wasn’t something I was thinking about, but was it something I had prepared in advance?

When I was a little startled, Persia, who was running around in a circle, wagged her tail and smiled.

“I thought about it early in case a proper successor came in. Junior. What do you like?”

“…Letty…”

“Do you like the shorter one? All right!”

The guy with an expression that seemed to pick out the worst, not the best, whispered softly.

We headed to the villa, not the dormitory.

There is still a lot left until the weekend, but there will be no lectures until the hunting ground visit event is over anyway.

The guy on the carriage, held in my arms, looks out the window with his eyes wide open.

Today’s dinner was a little later than usual, but it was plentiful.

A dinner party empowered to welcome the new summons.

Letty, who was frozen on the table, tried different dishes, pretending not to be persuaded by Persia.

Seeing how they change their appearance every time they eat one, it seems that they are enjoying their food in their own way.

The shadow lizard caught by Sylvia is already rubbing its head in its owner’s hand.

“How is it? Is it delicious? If you become the master’s pet, you can eat this every day… not very often.”

“…”

Persia is working so hard that I have no place to go.

Medusha, who was observing him with her arms crossed and a strict gaze, murmured as if frustrated.

“Why aren’t you so ambitious? Lewis, didn’t you pick the wrong one?”

“I was caught in the forest, but it’s natural to be scared.”

In fact, Letty’s eyes had been glancing at Medusha and Ethel from before.

A sign of being crushed by two summons much stronger than himself.

It’s not uncommon to stutter badly.

Sylvia, who sits across from him, defends him.

“Even if you’re scared, you can’t say a word straight…”

“That would be Letty’s way of surviving.”

“Yes?”

“Even if you have the ability to speak a language, if you talk a lot, you can come up with words you use often… There is a risk that it will have a negative effect when you transform into another pet. It’s similar.”

“Oh, is that so?”

There is nothing more ridiculous than that if you have transformed at the most and your identity is revealed with your tone of voice.

It seems that in the first place, he doesn’t enjoy the situation that receives attention as it is now.

I gave him a room as soon as dinner was over.

After all, there is a maidservant in this villa, so you can’t escape.

“I’m sorry for not paying attention. Let’s sleep for today and go back to the academy tomorrow. If you don’t like being my pet, I’ll send you back to the forest, so don’t worry.”

“Yes?”

“master?”

Persia was stunned at the word that he would release the successor he had captured at the most, but…

It’s not as good as having to force it.

I didn’t say it anymore because I had already made a decision.

After spending the night as it is, the next morning.

I headed to the White Jade Hall early in the morning to find Ersa.

As I walked through the bright campus, Letty morphed into a tiny cat and slipped under my clothes.

He also doesn’t seem to enjoy being noticed by others.

“Professor. Can you take a look at this guy for a second?”

“Am I your family’s exclusive pet doctor… Can you do a parasite test, too? Are you neutered?”

“No, it’s not like that, it’s like a race that doesn’t exist in the summons dialogue…”

“what?”

Ersa, who gave a lot of hatred to my request, quickly colored her face with intense pleasure and curiosity.

When Letty, who was very nervous, changed her appearance a few times, he laughed in admiration.

“Where did you find this guy again? This is a summoned beast I’ve never seen before.”

“Yes?”

As a professor of summoner healing, even Ersa, who has touched the arrogant ones, would not know for sure.

She started various tests, just like she had done for me before.

“Is that guy Jinshin? How far can he transform? What are the conditions?”

“You only need to look at the target once… I think it’s impossible to be born with an S rank or higher. It also copies the racial characteristics of the transformation target.”

“Then the estimated rank is about S. It’s a race of A-rank born… There are no special diseases or parasites. It’s very healthy for a wild pet. I guess I ate it properly.”

Usually, wild pets carry parasites with them…

He has a rather cautious personality.

That’s why it hasn’t been discovered by other summoners until now.

I recovered the guy from Ersa, who was trying to dissect Letty as it was.

“Thanks for the test. Then we’ll go.”

“Hey, El Cloud! Shamefully… What would you say that guy’s race name is?”

“Yes? Am I the one who decides that?”

“Of course. You’re the first to discover it. It’s okay if you don’t look at it right now, so decide.”

An unforeseen difficulty.

I was already tired of thinking about a name, so I decided roughly.

“Transformers?”

“That’s not a little.”

“Keeing…”

Letty express a similar protest for the first time after being caught by me.

I really don’t seem to like it at all.

I apologize slightly and move on to the next candidate.

“Transmog?”

“Yeah. It’s a tribal name anyway, so it’s good to have a moderately academic feel. Do I need to properly test it later?”

“If Letty be my summons.”

After escaping the White House as if running away from Ersa, he went straight to the club room.

After going through the wide campus and entering the enclosed space, Letty’s breathing became more comfortable.

In the room with the cool air, I could see Christine and Maria, who were taming their pets in their own way.

Once he released Letty from his arms, he found a tangerine rice cake not too long ago and tilted his head.

“Beep?”

“…”

When he meets a new friend, Tangerine Tteok gets flustered.

Letty transformed into a tangerine rice cake before he finished observing.

Then, the terribly startled guy flew to Christine’s side.

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

“Uh, what? I don’t know who is who? Are you really tangerine rice cake?”

“Beep!”

“Don’t be shy. I was just kidding you for a moment.”

While Christine soothes the slightly crooked tangerine rice cakes.

Letty turned around in front of the mirror with a very satisfied face.

Apparently, he liked the small and harmless impression of tangerine rice cakes.

A slightly horned Medusha grinds him.

“Other than that, transform into a bird summoner. So that fresh eggs can be presented to me every morning…”

Haven’t you given up yet?

I carefully snatched Lety, who was swimming in the air, and put a straw in it.

The freshly filled contents provide a refreshing yet sweet taste.

I’ve always wished I had one, but I’m sure I’ll have it this way.

Persia, who sprinted towards me, began to roll him around.

Maria, who was stroking the newly acquired golden drake, asks quietly.

“That child, doesn’t the original form exist?”

“I will. Judging from what I’m doing, I don’t think I’ll show it…”

I don’t even want to force myself.

After hanging out in the club room as it is, he returned to the villa.

After I washed my body before eating dinner, Letty, who was still transformed into a mandarin cake, flew to me.

After a while, he changed his appearance drastically, and he had an Elfriede’s face.

When I confirm that I can transform into a human as well as a summoned beast, I feel strange.

I feel like I’m going to have a lot of bad thoughts.

Like I said or not, the guy who borrowed Elfriede’s appearance stuttered in her voice.

“Hey… Lou, Louise… Sir… Really… Send me to the forest… Can you give me…?”

“What? This bastard, Lewis did such a good job…”

“If you want.”

Letty hesitate strongly when he calms down Medusha, who is running rampant on the road.

The eyes, which had been constantly shaking, barely stopped, and then slowly nodded.

“It’s the first time I’ve been caught by a human… I’m surprised you did better than I expected. If it’s okay with me, I’ll sign a contract. Lewis-sama’s summons… Please make it happen.”

“Yes? Thank you. Then let’s make a temporary contract first.”

I prepared a temporary contract while suppressing my desire to run wild on the spot.

A contract with much weaker terms than a formal contract.

Later, when your mind is completely hardened, you can switch to a formal contract.

For now, I’m glad that you seem to like our dimension.

The contract was executed with Medusha and Elfried standing still.

After the brief chanting, a thin link came out and connected Letty.

Excited, Persia stands on its hind legs and claps.

Summoner’s book recognizing the new contract raises an unfamiliar notification.

No matter how much the transmogrifier, it seems that he can’t fool the book.

[Unregistered race recognition. Please specify the tribe name.]

“Transmog. My name is Letty.”

[Registration Confirmation.

Transmog Summon – Lety

Overall evaluation value – S rank

Genuine Summoner.

Acquired skills […]

“Okay. Thank you for being part of the family.”

“I am… From now on, please take care of me.”

The guy who stuttered his greetings instantly returned to the shape of a tangerine rice cake.

Medusha couldn’t hide her dissatisfaction when she saw such a guy, but…

He could taste fresh eggs as soon as the next morning came.

“Ah, Lety. Did you make it for me?”

“Beep…”

A slippery white bird egg is shyly placed on the table next to the bed.

The guy, who had already returned to the shape of a mandarin orange, turned his head slightly and pretended not to know.

Medusha, who was trembling with emotion, swallowed a bird egg, and while I was watching it with a very disturbed mind, the handmaiden came into the bedroom without hesitation.

It’s not that I slept late, but it’s no big deal.

“Good morning, master. Let’s get ready to go out.”

“Are you going out?”

“Yes. After washing your body, tidying up your hair, you need to change into a uniform.”

It’s ridiculous.

If there was an official event where you could wear a uniform and participate, would you have known sooner?

The handmaiden, who witnessed the confusion on the faces of me and the summons, added an explanation belatedly.

“Medusha-nim’s older sister gave birth to a child last night. It was the first time that a snake god and a human were mixed, so the timing of the birth was not clear, but she was born much earlier than a human.”

“I, really? Will you be okay with me?”

“Yes. He said he was a healthy boy.”

“…”

Elfriede drooling from the seat next to her.

I couldn’t even dare to look straight at her.

Still, it should be congratulated that the Duke of Beltern’s child was born.

It seems that the dukes have already obtained permission to use the gates of the royal palace.

Today is the last day of the hunting season, so hurry up.

“The celebration will start at lunch. Let’s go before it’s too late.”

“Okay. Everyone get ready! Let’s go see my nephew!”

Medusha jumped out of bed and gave a shout to everyone.

We were busy getting ready to chase after her.
