52. Treasure Vault

It was Dinoir who destroyed Shiira’s artifacts and eliminated her, but her attitude was so proud.

“Hey, this is enough to win… … .”

“… … But are you going to let me drop out at will?”

“Oh, I must have betrayed you anyway! You can’t trust them!”

“No, what about Shiira?”

“look… … ! You’ve already passed on that viper-like kid-!”

Dinoir, horrified by my words, began to accuse Siira. Saying that I’m in a bad mood for Shira- He started chasing me, telling me to come to my senses quickly… … .

‘No, what kind of Shiira am I obsessed with?’

Does it make sense that she is not like the nine-tailed fox of some legend, and that she attracts people?

But now that Shiira is gone, it didn’t look good to continue to support her.

Dinu, Noah, and even Stella, who recovered her summoning ability, was looking at me with cold eyes.

“… … All right, as the old man said. I must have misunderstood.”

“That, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Shira forgets about it and starts looking for others.”

Saying so, I took the radar in my hand. 1 is not far away.

I was already excited about what kind of treasure I would get from the Imperial Treasure Vault.

There was no cadet who could stop our group of four three-star summoners.

It never happens that three-star Summoners become a team like this in the first place.

Read at readwn.com

Most of the three-star Summoners are heirs of each family, and they were rulers who were destined to take charge of a certain estate and run it.

It is almost impossible for such rulers to join forces with each other. After all, there is only one winner of the test, and in the end, someone had to bow to someone else to enter.

‘I don’t care.’

I was the only one out of that restriction.

This was because Dinoa and Noah were either commoners without a family, or people who did not care about their families, and were effectively excluded from their families.

It didn’t matter if Stella changed her mind and tried to win the championship.

‘Stella can be dealt with by force.’

No matter how strong Stella is, she cannot face three 3-star Summoners alone. Her betrayal had no cause for concern.

So – in the end, this test ended in my victory without any special events.

“Everyone, thank you.”

“Ugh, it’s nothing… … .”

“If you are grateful, buy me a meal!”

“… … It’s not really something I did for you.”

The second day of the exam. Having eliminated all cadets from the exam hall, I looked at the children and expressed my gratitude.

The moment they destroyed all their artifacts, the testing ground began to collapse.

After the world has collapsed, in a pure white space where nothing exists. A wizard appeared in front of me.

The wizard scratched his cheek as if in trouble and looked at me.

“ah… … I can’t finish it already.”

“Yes?”

“Zep, the exam is in three days, but if you finish it already, you have to go back in two days… … .”

“What… … .”

“But I can’t keep it here for a day like this… … Well, congratulations anyway. The name… Ian Clark? You are number one.”

The wizard looked at me after completing the test in two days and said so.

Then, after the white world collapsed, I opened my eyes.

It was reality.

“… … What is this?”

Not only me, but the children sitting in the auditorium began to open their eyes one by one. When the children saw themselves sitting in the auditorium even after two days had passed, they shouted as if in bewilderment.

“uh? Why are you still here… … .”

“I just dropped out-?”

As I listened to the bewildered voices of the children, I realized how the magic had been activated.

‘We all woke up together, but we all remember different times?’

In other words, it was as if the minds of the dropped children were being held in the magical space.

I was slightly horrified by the magic that could have horrific consequences depending on how it was used. While trembling, the principal, who was on the podium, tapped the microphone.

“Ah, you all worked hard.”

The children’s eyes turned to the stage at the same time, and the principal immediately announced the results.

“Although it is unusual, this test was completed in two days.”

As soon as the principal’s presentation was over, the murmur of the cadets began to fill the auditorium.

It was natural. In the case of a cadet who was eliminated as soon as the test started, it must have sounded like a clear blueprint that two days had passed by closing and opening their eyes for a while.

Naturally, it was mostly freshmen and freshmen who were making so much noise.

After the murmur had ceased to some extent, the principal made eye contact with me and smiled lightly.

“First of all, I will announce the first place in this exam. Ian Clark, come upstairs.”

When I got up from my seat after being called, the eyes of the cadets were focused on me. Most of them were cadets who had been attacked by me.

That’s why I received a feeling that the hairs all over my body stood up whenever my gaze was deeply engrossed.

As I stepped onto the podium, the principal congratulated me.

“Congratulations. Ian.”

“No, it was nothing.”

“It’s nothing… … His Majesty the Emperor is also very interested in this test.”

“… … Yes?”

When I asked her if I had heard something wrong – the principal casually explained about the next event.

“Ian, congratulations. Your Majesty says you will reward yourself.”

“No, wait a minute… … .”

But I didn’t hear it wrong. I quickly checked the quest window. And I found the phrase “The Emperor’s Interest” written on the edge of it.

‘I said, ‘What kind of bullsh*t is this… … .’

It was the first time he faced the emperor.

* * *

The awards ceremony of the exam flowed roughly, and ended in a frivolous manner.

No one in the auditorium took the results of the test seriously.

It was natural. It is said that the emperor personally came down to congratulate the test results, but there were no cadets to focus on the test results.

“This is it.”

“Ah, yes… … .”

“Yes, yes!”

And Noah and I were called by the emperor in advance, and headed to the royal room where the emperor was.

The knights around us watched us with a rigid posture and ferocious momentum, as if they would cut our throats right away if we showed any signs of rudeness.

“I tell you just in case… … Please do not even dream of bringing out a summoned beast in front of His Majesty the Emperor.”

He had no intention of doing so, but the knight gave a firm order, as if he would not show off the slightest possibility.

When I saw the appearance of such an article, I burst out laughing inwardly.

‘Even if I summon you anyway… … .’

“Of course, there would be no use trying to damage His Majesty’s prison body.”

As if reading my mind, the article recites my thoughts as it is.

“Your Majesty, you are the only 5-star Summoner.”

Even though it is said that he should not become a gacha man – a long time ago, the first emperor succeeded in selecting a 5-star summoned animal with just one gacha.

And the descendants inherited the summons from generation to generation, maintaining the position of the emperor.

It is said that the reason why the Demon King doesn’t attack right away is because of the 5-star summoned beast, which is said to be a very powerful existence… … .

‘It’s not even funny.’

The Demon King is more powerful than the 5-star summons that have not been leveled up, and there was another reason why the Demon King could not invade the realm of mankind.

However, such a story cannot be said in front of the emperor’s knight. I didn’t want to see my neck fly off either.

“Come on, take this.”

In front of the drawing room where we arrived, the knight handed me and Noah a glove. A magical glove that suppresses the summoning circle embedded in the back of the hand.

He put on his gloves while leaving a complaint in his mind that he was wearing something like this.

The knight took magical measures to prevent the two of us from loosening our gloves, and then opened the door to the drawing room.

The knight who had an audience with the emperor immediately knelt on the floor and bowed his head. Me and Noah followed later and put their heads down.

“I see you, the sun of the empire, Your Majesty the Emperor.”

“I see you, Your Majesty.”

“Wow, I see your Majesty the Emperor… … .”

“Stop it.”

The emperor, who was greeted, waved his hand and woke us up. The emperor, who was enjoying his tea leisurely while sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked at the two of us and let out a sigh.

“You just have to leave.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“What are they? not sitting.”

The Emperor sent the knight out and put us both on the couch, and the Emperor began to scan our faces.

Noah began to roll his eyes back and forth to see if the gaze was burdensome, but I didn’t care and made eye contact with the emperor.

If you were going to be scared by a piece of data, you would have banged your head on Stella right away and crawled.

As if he liked the way I looked, the emperor opened his mouth with a soft smile.

“Are you Ian?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

“I did very well on this test.”

“… … Have you seen it yourself?”

“I haven’t actually seen it. Interfering with the magic that created the testing ground is very difficult unless you are a wizard.”

However, it was quite possible for the wizard to report the results of the test.

“You said you also deal with two summoned beasts.”

“… … Yes, what.”

“Can you show me?”

At the Emperor’s words, I casually raised my hand and showed me the gloves that were tied tight. The emperor nodded his head as if regretting it, and brought up another story.

“Are you married?”

“Unfortunately not.”

“Good. How about the princess?”

“Being engaged to someone I don’t even know… … .”

Like Stella, I reflexively rejected the emperor’s offer, as I often encountered cadets who offered to match me just by looking at their faces.

It was so surprising that the emperor as well as Noah began to look at me with a puzzled face.

“Ah, ha ha ha! yes it is It’s a bit like getting engaged to someone you’ve never met.”

Fortunately, the emperor was not offended or offended by the fact that I had rejected the offer.

Rather, he laughed and respected my opinion.

“There must be a princess in the second year, haven’t you seen it?”

“Yes… … Well, I don’t have a chance to meet other graders.”

“Yeah, I’ll tell the princess later.”

“… … ? thank you?”

I reflexively thanked the emperor. Gradually, this face-to-face chirping began to bother me.

There is no such thing as a skip button in real life, but if there is, it’s starting to get boring enough that I want to hit it.

I wish they would stop talking like this and just give them a chance to quickly enter the Imperial Treasure Vault.

Just imagining what heirloom might be in it made my heart magnify.

“Well… … Isn’t it fun to talk to you?”

“no.”

“Well, since the reward is the reward, it must be boring.”

The emperor said so and put his hand in his arms. A huge golden key pops out of his arms.

The emperor took out the golden key and opened his mouth, inserting the key into the air.

“Artia, open the warehouse.”

And at that moment, the space began to tear and swallow us. The Imperial Treasure Vault, which you have often encountered in the game, opens.

“Emperor.”

In front of a golden mountain full of gold and silver treasures, a naked girl appears in front of us, all shining golden except for her pure white skin.

“Isn’t that just spreading too much?”

She is the Emperor’s Summon, the only 5-Star Summon.

It was Artia, the Yellow Dragon.
