9. Midterm

With Noah’s help, I wrote down the address and successfully sent the letter. I left the post office and walked around the school with her and chatted about various things.

“Ian. What kind of summons does Ian have?”

“Anna? Well, it’s an angelic half-blood summoning resin.”

“What? Ahahaha, it’s not like that. How many castles do you have?”

“Three stars.”

“—Three stars!? Isn’t that great?”

She showed an excessively loud reaction and started to float my summons. I didn’t know this world was a game, and if I was the same age as my possessed body, I would have liked it without knowing anything.

But I’m just too old to like it this much.

“Then, that’s great.”

So, with only half joy, I responded to her reaction. She also made sure that my nose bridge was raised, so she showed an even bigger reaction and reaction.

“It would be good. Ian is… … .”

“what?”

“To pick a three-star pet, isn’t that great luck?”

“Lucky… … .”

I looked at Noah. This child, who is destined to be the main character, will experience handling 4-star and 5-star pets over time.

If you think about it like that, it feels cool to be envious of only three-star pets. Even if someone has a lot of talent, he gets 5 stars that he has only touched through pickup gachas just because he is the main character.

‘Well, it’s a one-time thing, but… … .’

As long as this world has become a reality, it is unknown what it will be like. I sat down on a nearby bench and continued the conversation with her.

“Um, so… … Did you come up after discovering your talent in a country estate?”

“yes!”

“How did you find out about that talent?”

“uh… How… … ?”

The main character’s past, which was not revealed even in the game, was interesting, but unfortunately, Noah could not remember his past.

“maybe… Well… An old man wearing a fedora hat came and told me… .”

“A man with a fedora hat?”

“yes. As with the recommendation letter, you will definitely be able to pass because you have talent. I actually passed the academy and could become a summoner like this… Who the hell was that man?”

“MacGuffin.”

“yes?”

“Nothing.”

Usually, in most cases like this, it was most likely a meaningless MacGuffin. hahaha, it doesn’t matter who the main character is, or who sent the main character here.

Although she is a person high enough to have a letter of recommendation, even if she goes through school personal information, she will not be able to reveal who gave her a letter of recommendation.

Maybe the producers didn’t even think about who they were.

And Noah, who finished his story, seems to be starting to get curious about my story.

“I, Ian.”

“yes?”

“How did Ian get here?”

“… … me?”

As soon as he heard that, he fell into silence. Needless to say, when I fell into this world, I had already entered the academy, and I don’t know how I got into it.

But he didn’t know anything about this world. Most nobles are summoners, and talent is an inherited trait.

“just… Just like everyone else.”

“With others?”

“Yeah, it’s a duty, not a right, to be born as an aristocrat and enter the academy.”

“duty… … Does that mean that all the children were forced into school?”

“compulsion? Isn’t that right?”

“why? If everyone is obligated to join… Will there be people who don’t like it?”

“It’s an honorable job.”

Summoners are heroes. At least that’s the superficial location. Although titles and working positions change depending on the grade of the summoned summoned, all summoners are heroes, except for one.

An honorable profession to be admired by all. No one finds this painful.

Isn’t the easiest way to become a nobleman right now is a summoner? There are nobles who are not summoners, but there are no summoners who are not nobles.

“By the way, Noah… … You will soon be crowned.”

“yes?”

“All summoners are given titles.”

“Ah, that—they said they would give me the graduation day.”

“why?”

“Well… … Is it because it’s annoying if I give it to you before the graduation ceremony and I pick a higher summons?”

“It could be.”

However, in this world without TV or internet, the distance between conversations is getting smaller and smaller. It was not for nothing that the nobles of the Middle Ages were raving about other people’s gossip and chewing on the rumors that had arisen for the rest of their lives.

“… … The weather is nice.”

“I know.”

Finally, there is a story about the weather, saying that he spit out when he has nothing to say, and Noah pondered for a long time what to say, and then opened his mouth as if he had finally found a topic.

“By the way, the midterm exam is coming soon.”

“yes?”

“I did not know? There is an exam in two weeks.”

“Midterm exam… … ?”

didn’t know Thinking about whether there was such a thing or why I don’t remember hearing about it, I remembered that I hadn’t been to Oliver’s class recently.

And also the fact that I don’t have a friend who can tell me what the homeroom teacher says.

I think of the game story, but there are people who can memorize stories that are not very important.

To be honest, I’ve only skimmed through the two-hour video summary of the story on YouTube once or twice. You can say you have mastered the game, but you cannot say that you have mastered the story.

‘I think I can remember.’

As I can’t remember, it wasn’t a very important story. What kind of monsters come out, what kind of aptitudes do they have, and what are their weaknesses? I was memorizing information like that, but… … .

As soon as I pretended not to know, Noah started explaining that she had a story to tell.

“yes! So, it’s a test of how familiar the students are with dealing with pets… … .”

“Ah, the best martial arts competition in the world?”

“Yes?”

I remembered only after hearing her words. It was a side story where you fight with other NPCs by dealing with pets.

‘What was the reward for this?’

If you dare to remember, it seems to be a must-have event… … I can’t even remember what the reward was.

But do I really need to think of that? There is an encyclopedia of knowledge right next to it.

“If you get first place in the exam, what kind of prize do you have?”

“Why are you giving out prizes when you are first in the exam? … ?”

“ah.”

It was. A student’s duty is to study, and just as they don’t give anything just because they got first place in the midterm on Earth, it was the same in another world.

Rice cakes do not fall from the sky just because you get 1st place.

* * *

However, although there is no law for rice cakes to fall from the sky, there seems to be a way for luck to fly from the ground.

“Ian Clark!”

“… … what?”

Legally authorized to play polka dots, I lay down in the grassy garden, enjoying myself.

In real life, I couldn’t even walk around without a mask, but it’s great to be given freedom here.

Someone interrupted my personal time like that.

When I lifted my head slightly to check, dazzlingly red hair caught my eye.

“What happened? Has the heirloom already arrived?”

“Well, it’s still… I have something to tell you today!”

“Oh, yes. What are you going to confess?”

“Uh, what? confession? I’m crazy… ! Hmmm, not this. Ian Clark, fight me!”

“Winning?”

Bet, I got up thinking I’d like to hear a story. She looked at me as I got up and put her arms under her chest to emphasize my breasts.

To the extent that I am confused whether this is to seduce people or to tell a story… … .

But I took my eyes off my chest and asked her.

“What kind of fight is it?”

“This midterm exam, it’s a game of who gets first place! And if you lose, the heirloom you’re supposed to take, you’ll have to do it!”

“why me?”

“yes?”

“So, why do I have to do that?”

As a matter of fact, a match is established only when there is a merit between the two. Content in which one party has a one-sided advantage is a scam or a joke.

But Stella, who had nothing to refute, began to force herself.

“Hey, are you running away because you’re scared?”

“Uh, I’m a coward by birth, so I can’t accept such a match, hard work. Will you come back to me when I get to the heirloom?”

“Come on, wait!”

As I lay back in the garden, she quickly ran over to the garden and stopped next to me. As the sun that had just warmed my body disappeared, I frowned and looked up at her.

“Why again?”

“… … What are you going to do to win the match?”

“Could you bring me another one?”

“… … no. In fact, I don’t know what’s going to happen.”

“Are you going to default?”

“It’s not… … Anyway, what are you going to do to compete with me!?”

Seeing her forcing me to win by saying this, she seemed desperate. hahahaha, the location of the heirloom in this world is the egg of an unborn 3-star or 4-star summoned animal.

I used it for my own bets without the owner’s permission… … In reality, the daughter of a chaebol family made a bet with the son of the owner of a small business and decided to hand over a company.

‘If it were me, I would just pass on to ignorance.’

If it is the power of the Iritz family, it has the ability and power to silence everyone who heard the story of the bet on the spot. To be honest, that would be easier and more convenient… … .

But how could pride be such a nuisance, she never did. He was so pure and pure to himself.

Seeing that, I decided to accept the match with her.

“great.”

“I, really? then… … .”

“Instead, there are two conditions.”

“… … What? This time I really can’t do anything but what I can do.”

“The one is… … Yes, if I ask for something later, then listen.”

“… … Do you know what to ask for?”

“It’s okay to refuse. Instead, if you refuse, the right itself remains as it is.”

“Okay, what about the other one?”

“If I win this match, don’t refuse anything I ask for.”

“… … What?”

In other words, if you win this match, the right to ask becomes the right to wish. I could have received one as a condition of accepting the match, and one when I won, but… … If you put such conditions on her, there is a possibility that she will show rejection.

So this is the best. She can refuse my request as long as she wins the victory.

Even if I refuse for the rest of my life, I have no complaints. because it’s such a condition.

But, what if I take 1st place?

“… … All right, if I win anyway, the wish will be meaningless, right? It’s easy.”

Stella smiled and accepted the condition. Yes, she was terribly conceited.

You have a 4 star summons. Having a 3-star pet is great, but you can never defeat yourself with that alone.

‘You must think so.’

It wasn’t wrong information. Because it was common knowledge that the summons of this world could not grow.

However, that common sense was to be broken from now on.
