My Summons Are Special

67. Rock Paper Scissors

“Wow-! Ian!”

“-Noah.”

As we headed to the classroom where we were getting ready for the final exam and called, Noah, who had already arrived, raised both hands and greeted us.

Except for Noah, two cadets were waiting in the classroom, but looking at the color of their tie, they were in 2nd and 3rd grade respectively.

‘It’s the first time I’ve seen them both… … .’

With that in mind, I naturally sat down next to Noah and waited, and after a while, the teacher opened the door and came in.

“Mmm. Have you all gathered?”

A childhood friend of the original body with pink hair. Clara checked the faces of the four of us and started writing something on the paper.

After checking, she handed out papers to us and started talking.

“Do you know what the final exam is?”

“Isn’t it a team game?”

“I never get tired of it… .”

The 2nd and 3rd year cadets, who had already taken the final exam several times, looked at Clara with an expression as if they were not getting tired.

The new final exam, which changes every year, must have come to them with a bit of annoyance. Of course, he doesn’t seem to complain much because he was certain that unexpected experiences made him stronger.

“Ahahaha, is it the principal’s policy… Anyway, from now on, you guys will go to the East and fight there- I’m going to choose the member here and now.”

“… here?”

An unknown third-year cadet asked Clara. There are only the four of us here, so does that mean the four of us decide the team?

Unfortunately, his guess was not correct.

“From the people on the list, choose a member to go to the East with.”

When he turned his gaze to the paper, the names of summoners with 1-star and 2-star summons were written there.

There wasn’t even a single three-star Summoner’s name.

Only then did I understand why we were gathered here.

‘We are the team leader.’

Even after graduating from the academy and being put into practice, the 3-star Summoners take on the role of commanding the 1-star 2-star Summoners.

It is safe to say that this is probably the preliminary exercise. It will be used in practice in the distant future anyway, so you should try it.

Then, this test could be said to be a test not only to measure an individual’s power, but also to see how well he can command his summoners.

Of course, there is nothing that a 3-star Summoner cannot use to go to the battlefield alone and wipe them all out… Usually, if you consume your stamina and abilities on such low-grade demons, you will not be able to handle any intermediate or advanced demons.

After all, war was a strategic battle. There is no way to win a war by unconditionally holding out a strong hand.

“Now, all you have to do is choose a member amongst you… … What is the order? Rock paper scissors?”

“… Do whatever you want.”

“Yep! Then you lose if you don’t.”

As for the rock-paper-scissors results, 3rd grade cadets placed 1st, Noah 2nd, I 3rd, and 2nd year cadets 4th.

After all, instead of one person picking all four at once, the members were chosen one by one in turn, so the final number of summoners taken was the same.

Maybe two 2-star summoners, maybe two 1-star summoners. i’ll take it like this

Both 3rd graders and Noah, who were in the order in front of me, chose 2-star Summoners, proving that they were right.

“Ian? It’s your turn.”

“Yes.”

I looked down at the paper with the member list on it. Others may be thinking of a combination of five, synergy, etc… … I don’t have to.

“With this person.”

“uh… ? This, Ian? He’s a 1 star Summoner… .”

“yes. This person is right.”

I have three high-ranking pets, so I don’t have to worry about their consumption.

Member? It was enough for me to be someone who quietly followed my orders.

But Clara encouraged me to reconsider.

“Hey, Ian? Wouldn’t it be better to pick a 2-star Summoner first?”

“it’s okay.”

“No, though-.”

At that moment, a third-year cadet who was watching quietly opened his mouth.

“-Teacher. Isn’t it your choice?”

“That, but… .”

“You tell me to do whatever I want. You have to taste the bitter taste of real life to know.”

When the 3rd year cadet stopped Clara saying that, Clara seemed to have no choice but to write the name of the first-star Summoner into my team.

He looked at me with a smile on his lips. Because I picked the 1-star Summoner first, he was able to use one more 2-star Summoner on his team.

If you sleep in a combination and add one more 2-star Summoner to your team, your chances of getting a high score in this test will increase.

“Let’s go fast.”

“Uh, huh? Yes. who are you… … .”

“It’s this person.”

Maybe it was because he didn’t get the honey-like opportunity left by the stupid first grader, and the angry sophomore quickly proceeded with the story.

The 3rd grade cadet who found his turn again smiled and chose a 2-star Summoner, and Noah chose the remaining 2-star Summoner and it was my turn again.

But this time, my choice was the same.

“… … Over there, Ian?”

“Yes.”

“No, why do you keep… Are you only picking one-star Summoners?”

Belatedly, a smile lingers on the face of the second-year senior who was contemplating which one to choose among the remaining members.

Since he has a wider range of choices by choosing a one-star Summoner, it is natural in a way.

Seeing Clara who was embarrassed and not sure what to do, I showed her my true intentions.

“Because it’s convenient.”

“side… sun?”

“Yes.”

“What… .”

Clara didn’t understand what I was saying. No, actually, all summoners in this world will not understand what I mean.

For those who take it for granted that each person has one summons, cooperation with other summoners would not be an option but a necessity.

But not for me.

‘Three high-grade summons.’

With this kind of power, it’s not a joke, it’s a power that can be compared with the modern armored corps. Of course, in terms of firepower and strategic value, the Armored Corps would be better… … .

‘It’s the same thing that one-star pets don’t help much if they’re involved.’

I don’t need a colleague. In the game, the player is a legion that fights alone and wins everything alone.

The same goes for me, who brought that player’s power as it is.

“Hey, Ian? I think I’m misunderstanding something, but this test… .”

“The team that gets a lot of supply and demand from demons is the first. Right?”

“That’s right, but-.”

“There is no need for a team to go together, right?”

“Yes.”

Clara listens to me and quietly nods her head.

Yes, you don’t have to move with the team.

I’m stronger alone, so I don’t need your help.

‘One-star or two-star, summoners who deal with such things… … .’

Just sit back and wait for my bus.

* * *

On the day of the final exam.

I got on the designated carriage. The guys in the same carriage as me looked at me with the look of not knowing why I chose them.

After confirming that the children’s eyes were on me, I opened my mouth looking at them with a arrogant attitude like a senior.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Ian Clark.”

“Bar, nice to meet you… … .”

“You must be wondering why I chose you guys.”

deliberately cut off I’m not curious about the opinions of these guys. not even important.

What matters is their role.

“You don’t do anything.”

“… … What?”

“I only picked guys who wouldn’t mind doing nothing, so there won’t be any complaints, right?”

“Are you trying to ridicule us now?”

Of course, the guys also started to build up their pride as aristocrats. I looked at the guys staring at me with my eyes wide open, and smiled face to face.

“If you don’t like it, get off now. I have confidence to take the top spot without you guys.”

“… … you alone.”

“Why, do you think it will be impossible?”

At that, the boy kept his mouth shut. I think I’m hiding something because he looks so confident in my appearance.

“You guys stay still and get good grades. Good sister and good mother-in-law right?”

What if they get injured while wandering around needlessly? it’s my loss Because he’s the team leader, he’ll use even the faults of his teammates.

The best way is to put them in one place and lock them up. But can you lock up the same cadets… … .

The best thing was to keep them from coming out of the castle voluntarily.

“… … Can you really, really take the top spot?”

“hey!”

Then, one of the cadets opens his mouth after thinking. The cadet sitting next to her was angry with her, but she looked back at the cadet who had yelled at her.

“What? We can’t do anything with each other anyway. One-star Summoners gather and catch more demons than other children? Do you really think that would be possible?”

“Do you have no pride?”

“Pride? Does that feed you? My parents feed me, and my parents feed me by looking at my report card!”

A cadet in this world was also a student after all, and as a result, a student was a being who grew up with the backbone of his parents.

She decided to work with me to get her parents back even better.

When one person crosses the line, naturally, the other person has no choice but to cross the line because they do not want to lose.

It was an unwinnable fight in the first place.

“Has everyone made up their minds?”

“… … uh.”

“Yeah, go back later and don’t change your words.”

After the agreement was reached, the carriage stopped. Far East of the realm of mankind.

arrived on the Eastern Front.
