Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

Christmas (1)

We were welcomed without a wish in a lighter atmosphere, and we left the bedroom early the next morning.

The Duke of Beltern hastily raked the winter foxes the family had been raising for his son, but none of them could win Dredric’s heart.

“Dredrick. Aunt Medusha has to go now…”

“No! Hairballs, mine!”

The guy who came to meet him in Steno’s arms held Persia tightly and did not let him go.

It looks like he’s been given a nickname.

The other foxes are waving their tails hard, but they don’t show any interest in them.

Even the Duke of Beltern under the world couldn’t save a guy equal to the size of a palm fox in one day…

Persia has been working for more than 6 months as Medusha’s scarf, so her skills and know-how are completely different.

I bet no fox can match the cruel wag of its fluffy tail.

As I was slowly worrying about the time to go to school, Steno forcibly removed him.

“It’s not like stealing someone else’s stuff like that. It’s useless to try and use it blindly.”

“Huh…”

After losing Persia, Dredric cried for the first time.

I heard you didn’t cry even when you were born…

As I was feeling subtly proud of myself as a Summoner, Persia, who had completely shaved my body, ran behind me.

“Master, come back quickly!”

“Did you even say hello to the duke yesterday?”

“After all, our house is the best.”

“Sister, I’ll see you later. See you next time!”

Due to the delay in time, we had to be much quicker than when we arrived.

Escape the palace and go straight to the academy.

Unlike us, the students who had just finished the hunting season were struggling to tame their newly caught pets.

It seems that there is still a period of adaptation. The overall class atmosphere is relaxed.

But it was not easy to hang around.

Time was moving relentlessly even while we were visiting Duke’s Castle.

The final exam is approaching with the cold winter wind.

My grades were originally in the safe zone, but I can’t be vigilant because I played too much during the last midterm.

Of course, there were other real troubles.

“Master, wait a minute…”

“Sylvia is really bad at writing classes.”

“I was in danger from the beginning, but I only practiced swordsmanship before and after the Summoner Cup… I’m sorry.”

Sylvia apologizes to Medusha for nothing.

In fact, it’s amazing to keep up with the progress even though you and your summons are helping.

Ethel, who was rolling around in the club room, asks as if bored.

“After the exam, it’s winter vacation right away? So, are you going back to the estate right away?”

“That’s a bit vague.”

I glanced back at Elfriede, who was cleaning Persia’s fur.

This guy is long-haired, so it’s not a joke to blow his hair.

The guy who was lying on the floor with his back straight for a while tilts his head.

“Isn’t it ambiguous?”

“The time remaining until the completion of the permanent residence is ambiguous. If you go back early in the winter, there is nothing you can do…”

Thanks to the hard work of the masons of the Duke of Beltern, Count El Cloud is already half-finished.

If this trend continues, it will be completed around January next year.

However, our winter vacation is mid to late December.

If possible, I would like to return in time for the completion of the castle.

“Then we will be in the capital until next year.”

“Is that so?”

“There is also Christmas at the end of December. Everyone stays and goes to see.”

When Maria, who was studying alchemy next door, spoke, Medusha’s eyes flashed.

“It’s Christmas. It would be better to enjoy such a festival.”

“Beep?”

“I’m talking about the birthday of Esha, the guardian dragon of the kingdom. It is the biggest and most grandiose event held every year. There is a tradition of wearing red clothes and handing out gifts on Christmas Day.”

I gave a brief explanation to Letty, who tilted her head.

The original tangerine rice cake is staring at him all the time.

When I affirmed without much hesitation, Sylvia, who was being taught, clapped her shoulder very lightly and protested passively.

While teaching, I slipped into a side road.

While reviewing the contents of the class, I discovered a passage related to summoning prophecy, and my curiosity arose anew.

Come to think of it, I had a strange experience during my last major course experience…

Maybe it has something to do with the Demon King?

‘Rejection of approval due to the act of vandalism in the Book of Heaven. Did I say block access…? What the hell do you mean?’

I was suppressing my curiosity for fear of touching a sensitive part, and the person involved came out and denied the allegations.

“That’s not what I did.”

“Then who…”

“I don’t know. One of the lower ones must have done it on their own.”

All eyes were focused on this side of the random self-talk, and then back again.

I quietly rolled my tongue at the Demon King’s strange selection of words.

the lower ones

but. The Demon King was the ruler of a world, so he must have had his servants.

It’s strange that the story hasn’t come out at all until now.

The Demon King doesn’t seem to want to talk anymore. sunk inside me

When Ethel, who was hanging out next door, takes out a snack that was released for the winter season at the shopping mall, Medusha teases him.

“It’s annoying because the fortress weather is unnecessarily cold, but this is okay. I like the warm snacks lined up.”

“If you eat like that on the theme of Jinshin Summon, will you gain weight?”

“That’s the story of an inferior snake god… I ordered Ersa’s fat-burning function early on.”

“What?”

Medusha is genuinely surprised by Ethel’s response.

When I opened my eyes again, Sylvia gave her a slightly terrifying expression.

I’ll have to be careful when I go back to the dormitory later.

From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Just as expected.

The bathing service that night was much harsher than usual.

As I slowly get used to watching Lety transform into a new one every morning and lay eggs, it’s finally over.

Sitting in an uncomfortable chair and facing the test paper, I had no choice but to get stuck within a few questions.

‘I don’t think I played very much… Was it too much to skip the midterm?’

It’s been a while since the hunting season is over, and it’s already a test.

Our school’s academic calendar is too harsh.

As I was cursing my dear dean, Persia’s front paw suddenly popped and was put on the test paper.

“Master, here it is!”

“Persia? Maybe you…”

“I studied summoning arts a bit too. I couldn’t really memorize things like kingdom history.”

A guy who smiles brightly and takes a quick picture of the answer.

There is no problem in history and culture since I was taught from a young age.

Since last time, he has shown a strange enthusiasm for learning, and he does one thing every once in a while.

Thanks to the guy’s help, the theory course passed safely.

When I entered the summoning combat skill test center with a lighter mind, I was given an option I hadn’t thought of before.

“El Cloud. This test is a team match for 4 people… Did you get a new summons?”

“Yes. Jinshin Summoner of A-rank born.”

I showed Letty and said, and the professor in charge of the referee nodded.

“You have to compete in the Unlimited Class where you can use summons with an S-rank or higher, but if you only use that person, I’ll put you in the A-rank exam. “

My magic power is already well-reputed, so it seems like I’m going to put some restrictions on it.

Medusha, who was next to him, makes a lot of tea he doesn’t like.

“Just go to the unlimited level. When this body is active after a while…”

“Medusa. I’m sorry, but you can’t even compete in the Unlimited Class.”

“What? Why?”

“Yeah, you’re SS rank.”

If you use the SS Rank Summons, Medusha, Ethel, and Laurie, it’s a test and nothing happens.

Thanks to this, Medusha, who accepted the reality while running wild on the road, snorts a little.

“Then do whatever you want! If I can’t go out anyway, it’s all the same…”

“Okay. I’ll do as the professor says.”

When I finally affirmed, he was noticeably relieved.

It seems that the A-rank test is easier to make adjustments.

In the beginning, there are only a few students who can participate in the unlimited level.

In the worst case, I can face Michael, so I’m comfortable here.

Of course, my teammates were decided to be Sylvia and Elfriede.

Other students can use up to 2 summons, but I limit myself to one Letty.

Besides, there is only one team member.

Still, I didn’t think I was going to lose.

Perhaps because it was the match that ended the year at the academy, the faces of the students who came up against us were filled with tension and venom.

The professor, who served as the referee, gave me a warning once again.

“El Cloud. Letty’s transformation is limited to pets born below Rank B. Artifacts cannot be used. You know?”

“yes.”

Letty is a Jinshin Summon.

Even if he transforms, that fact doesn’t change, so if he transforms into an A-rank summoned creature, it becomes an S-rank.

Sylvia looked like she wanted to protest the professor, but…

Rather, I thought the penalty was too light.

Letty’s ability to transform is just that powerful.

“Then everyone prepare. Start the summons!”

“Unicorn. It’s your turn.”

“Please take good care of me, Ghost Knight.”

When Silvia and Elfriede quickly sent out their starting summons, the opposing team came up with a balanced combination.

There will be gaps as there is only one head missing, so it’s a strategy to pierce them.

I put Letty in my arms to play with a little bit of resentment.

I’ve played a few mock battles so far, but it’s my first time playing on a stage like this, so I was a little nervous… Even in front of a huge crowd, I go out with my back straight.

“Let’s go, Letty.”

“Beep!”

Letty, who transformed from tangerine rice cakes, swam lightly in the air.

Blessed Bird, a bird summoned with five-colored feathers.

It is a form that has been transformed to lay eggs for Medusha every morning.

A supporter-type pet that is useful enough to be counted in one hand even in B-Rank.

The opposing team who witnessed this noticed my strategy.

“Cheap!”

“The Blessing Group? Are you planning to scatter an aura?”

“Yeah, because that team lacks one person and uses one less summons…”

The countdown begins as the guys are chatting.

I gave the instructions as soon as the start signal came out.

“Letty, blessing of speed!”

“Keek!”

Letty, who was hiding behind the unicorn and the ghost knight, scattered magical energy from both wings.

A skill that strengthens not only you but also allied summons.

The effect doesn’t last very long, but it’s good enough to use in Dalian.

As it is a bird pet, it has a fast speed, so the technique was used before the opponent could attack properly.

Of course, its durability is so weak that it can be reverse summoned if touched.

However, this weakness can be filled with Letty’s traits.

“Don’t let the buffs build up!”

“Fire Breath… Aww!”

“Where.”

The spirit that was about to spew fire from its mouth was stabbed by the unicorn’s horn, which rushed like the wind, and was reverse summoned.

Thanks to the strengthening effect that Letty gave, the speed that was still fast turned into a murderous one.

Of course, there were so many opponents that there were guys who broke through the escorts of Unicorns and Ghost Knights, but…

Letty just used her transformation ability and turned into a pet specializing in defense.

“Is it a rock predator this time…”

“Why are you transforming so quickly?”

“Is that too fast for a rock predator?”

Letty, who was originally supposed to crawl, moves very quickly.

The strengthening effect that was applied earlier remains intact even after transformation.

I don’t know if it takes some time to transform.

Letty is fast enough to transform and run away while being chased by the Unicorn and Lightning Bolt.

Letty, who withstood the opponent’s attack, changed into a blessing team once again and used an enhancement technique.

“Keek!”

“No, what kind of a gangster summoner…”

“We’ve got the strategy wrong.”

When the ghost knight’s sword, which became stronger and faster, reverse-summoned one summoned beast, the other side admitted the mistake.

was too hasty

Rather, it would have been much better than now if he had attacked while using the strengthening technique from the other side.

Anyway, the number of heads over there has the upper hand, so I rushed to deal with Letty quickly, but things went awry.

In the end, the guys who switched to the defensive position were swept away without being able to withstand the strengthening effects that were accumulating over time.

If I had used reinforcements from the start as a normal summoner, I would have been hit quickly…

Thanks to Letty’s character, it was possible to operate like a foul.

“The match is over! Team A wins!”

“Wow, where did he get only such summons?”

“The SS rank minions must have caught them during the hunting season. Minions breed minions.”

Overhearding the complaints leaking from the audience, Medusha let out a small sigh.

“Stupid things. Talking without knowing anything. If Lewis had discovered Letty’s identity a little late, he would have missed it…”

“It’s all thanks to Medusa-sama.”

“Well done Letty. It’s more useful than it looks.”

“Hey, you shouldn’t say things like that even if you don’t know other guys. What are you doing while eating delicious eggs every morning?”

Medusha blushes slightly when Laurie smiles and gives her a pint glass.

I took the guy who pretended to be sulking and moved to the next test center.

Letty, who had just returned to the tangerine rice cake, dug into the pocket of my school uniform top.
