chapter 10
Midterm (3)
At the same time as the start signal falls.
Asura of the White House rushed toward this side.
As always, Medusha’s choice was the petrified gaze.
However, since it is an opponent of the same class, I do not feel like I am being eaten properly.
Even though it seems to be the maximum output in its own way, the body is just a little sluggish.
But where is it that it slows down just by looking at it?
Even under eye light, the slowing gets more and more severe.
A summoned beast with an S rank from birth.
Even if you raise the rank by Summoning Jinshin, you will not be able to compete with Medusha.
The moment I was so confident of victory.
One of Asura’s head, who had endured the glare of her eyes, shouted bitterly.
“It’s hard. Let’s get it right!”
Immediately after the other two guys responded with enthusiasm.
Asura’s body was split into three parts.
It is the demigod, which is a racial characteristic of the gnome.
The summoned beasts of the three heads became three sword spirits in an instant.
Although the size of each has been significantly reduced, the technology contained in the sword will still be there.
As the opponent split into three, Medusha clicked her tongue slightly.
“Ugh…”
“I got it!”
While the one in the middle was hardened with eye light.
The remaining two are split left and right, and quickly hit and come in.
Four great swords that cut through the place where Medusha was standing!
It was a fierce offensive that seemed to cut through the space itself.
Confused, Medusha threw her whole body through the storm of blades.
With his body lying on his side, he swings his staff to deflect the sword strike lightly.
He is not an expert in hand-to-hand combat, but he seems to be quite proficient.
If the body hadn’t hardened with the cold, he might have killed one in an instant.
“Medusha!”
“Not yet.”
Medusha, who was hesitant to use the spell, dissuaded me.
The guy who jumped between the three sword spirits began to wield some kind of spell.
A torrent of magical power flowing through the link.
The mana consumption, which was still a daunting task, became even more intense.
It feels like all the blood is draining out of your body.
While I was strengthening my legs and maintaining the posture.
The opposing summoner, Christine White, was summoning the cold again.
‘It would be disadvantageous if I was dragged too long.’
Asura was from the northern magi, so she was hardly affected by the cold.
Fortunately, the balance is barely being achieved thanks to Medusha’s shooting at Seokhwa in all directions.
The professors in the audience are a little amazed at the amount of magical power I have.
“How many times have you already stared at the stone…”
“The amount of magical power is already at the level of graduates… No, is it more than that?”
No time to listen to sweet sounds.
As I quickly regained my consciousness, Medusha, who was being pursued by the blade, murmured while grinding her teeth.
“It’s hard to say now, but it’s not the role of a goddess in a fight like this. I’ll call you guys a more suitable opponent.”
“Hey, stop it!”
Advertise that you use your ultimate skill.
I was slightly absurd, but at the same time I understood Medusha’s behavior.
Actually, the ultimate skill of the three snake gods is so famous that there is nothing to hide now.
It might be better to have a psychological warfare like that.
Asura gradually occupies the large dungeon and pushes Medusha into the corner.
Medusha can’t use her hands because she’s preparing a big skill.
Now it’s my turn as the summoner.
“Ugh!”
Summoning is activated while enduring the magic consumption caused by Medusa.
The wine ceremony, which had been completed before, finally revealed its true value.
“The portal is open!”
“What!”
A large portal opened above the dungeon and swallowed Medusha’s body.
Immediately after, it reappears from the opposite side.
The Asuras, who had completed the siege at best, let out a bitter moan.
Those who quickly turned around are chasing Medusha again.
“I’m going again!”
“The portal consumes a lot of mana, so it won’t be able to fire…”
“The portal is open!”
Ignoring their nonsense, open the portal once more.
This time, it spread out on the path of one of the Asuras and aimed for an off-site judgment.
However, since it is an opponent with an S-rank level of agility, it is not difficult to dodge it.
“What kind of magic power…”
“Hurry up. Not much left!”
A craft that is being completed at the tip of Medusha’s staff.
The sword demons who were staring at it clenched their teeth and rushed at once.
I used the last spell left in my hand to move Medusha into the air.
“The portal is open!”
It’s a very basic summoning technique, but…
That doesn’t mean it consumes less horsepower.
Still, three shots in a row while Medusha was using her magical powers.
I should have been exhausted earlier… For some reason, my magic power doesn’t run out.
It feels like a hole in my heart is constantly being replenished with magical power.
‘What, was my magic power this much?’
I was amazed at my own abilities.
Medusha in the air completed this technique.
The guy holding up his staff filled the skies of the dungeon with the summoning circle and shouted proudly.
“Come, serpent without scales! Third son of the primordial serpent! Your goddess is calling you!”
The ultimate skill of the three snake god sisters is to summon a summoned creature of the same class as you.
No, in terms of pure combat power, that one is far superior.
Asura, who could not stop the summons, grimaced and corrected the great sword.
A large snake fell from the glowing summoning circle.
Quang!
Its size is incomparable to that of Summoner Medusha.
The large dungeon was completely surrounded in an instant.
A servant who is in charge of escorting the snake gods.
It was the advent of the scaleless snake.
“Hey, you have to get out…”
Cheek!
Conversely, the besieged Asura hurriedly hit the sword, but the snake’s body bounced it back lightly.
The absence of scales is a simple modifier.
In fact, there is a scale called ‘fake’.
These unusual scales only reveal a grid-like outline when illuminated by light, and were known for their incredible defense.
Medusha, who summoned a reliable ally, climbed on top of the guy’s head and gave a command with a staff.
Red eyes glow fiercely under the round head.
“Come on, it’s a reversal from now on! Get rid of it!”
“Shee it!”
At the moment when the snake that spewed out a ferocious roar was about to attack Asura!
The professor, who was watching the referee, gave a stop sign.
Thanks to this, Medusha and I, as well as Christine and Asura, were completely frozen.
“Stop! End of the match! Defeat for El Cloud!”
“What, what? What nonsense is that!”
“You are an outsider.”
A professor beckons to Medusha, who protests violently.
At the tip of his finger stood a large body of a scaleless snake.
It’s also in the shape of a leg outside the arena!
“Uh, huh?”
It seems that the stadium was too narrow to fully capture his body.
Medusha, who was staring at it with blank eyes, swung her staff and struck the snake the size of a house in the head.
“You idiot! I’m sure I didn’t summon you to the arena!
“Cheap… Shhh…”
A serpent groaning pitifully and begging for forgiveness.
Before it was too late, I knelt down on one knee and pretended to be exhausted.
In fact, his physical condition is a bit too good… but revealing it wouldn’t be a wise choice.
As if I accidentally hit it too hard, my knee hurts a lot.
Medusha, who came down the snake’s neck like a slide, hurriedly supports me.
“Louis! Are you okay?”
“I’m just pretending to be exhausted. Don’t worry.”
“Aha…”
A little while reassuring Medusha.
The professors who were guarding the spectators conducted the scoring.
10 out of 10, 9, 9, and 10.
It seems that the use of the ultimate skill of an S-rank summoned in the freshman theme was well-received.
I got an over-the-counter loss at the end, but that’s not my fault.
While Medusha grinds the scaleless snake again.
Asura returned to her body and put in her sword and asked for a handshake.
While the summoners of the fighters were greeting each other friendly.
In fact, Christine White began to leave the dungeon with an expressionless expression.
Asura bowed her head slightly to me and followed her with a bitter smile.
“Girl, you have to say hello.”
“Okay. I’ll see you more often from now on anyway…”
I don’t really have any contact with the White family…
Do you often meet students with S rank summons?
Well, it seems to be the case just by looking at this test.
It seems that the allegations I had in mind before taking the test were true.
Maria Westwall, who was in the front row of the audience, ran to Christine.
He shook his head slightly toward me, so it was difficult to say hello.
Actually, last time I overreacted a bit.
At the time of the fall of the Elcloud family, Maria would have been only five years old.
Besides, there’s no way the Westwall Marquess could have told you exactly what happened at the time.
She may know that her family has spared no aid.
‘Just looking at how warmly he greeted me…’
Let’s turn around with a little regret…
At the far end of the audience, Elfriede was spinning around.
The sides of the small body are clenched into fists.
Even from such a distance, I am worried that my nails will break.
There’s no way I could have enjoyed playing with Medusa.
The summons that followed Elfriede greeted him this way and comforted him.
After hitting the scaleless snake a few more times on the pitch, Medusha got a little nervous and counter-summoned him.
After finishing all the exams for the last time in Dalian, I went back to the dormitory and anxiously waited for the results.
After two days in a brisk atmosphere, the results were finally announced.
Facing the poster in front of the summoning psychology classroom, I was able to find my name without difficulty.
[2. Louis Elcloud]
2nd place among freshmen.
If this is enough, passing the next scholarship examination is confirmed.
As I clenched my fists and looked down, I saw Elfriede from a distance.
15th among freshmen.
It’s quite high for a person who was prosecuted for two weeks.
“Louise, you did it!”
“All thanks to the snake goddess…”
I was about to be moved by holding hands with Medusha, but I quickly read the atmosphere around me and took my own weight.
Of course, the lower ranks among the freshmen are the portraits.
In particular, the failure rate in this exam is very high.
‘Wait… you failed almost 50%, didn’t you?’
The test was a bit difficult, but it must have been this much.
Are there not so many talents in this rider?
The Summoner’s Book trembled as he walked away with a small tongue sticking out.
Contact from Ersa Cutter, Professor of Summoned Beast Healing.
I opened the book more skillfully than the last time and pulled out a card, and immediately a question flew in.
“Did you pass?”
“Yes. I’m second in my grade. Thanks to that, I got a scholarship…”
“Wait. What scholarship?”
A see-through professor walking from an unexpected place.
I quickly responded in an attempt to shake off the rising anxiety.
“Scholarship for grades! Of course, because I’m in the top 10% of my grade…”
“No, I understand you’re second, but why are you getting a scholarship?”
weird.
Conversation does not flow smoothly.
After I was silent for a moment, Ersa burst out laughing from the other side.
“Are you sure you didn’t know? Holders of S-Rank summons don’t get scholarships. You’ll have to pay them all from next semester.”
“yes?”
“No. Common sense, would you give a scholarship to a guy who has something like an S-rank pet?”
Wait a minute.
what kind of bullshit is this?
So, did all my hard work on the midterm exam go in vain?
I grimaced at this and protested to her.
“Hey, where’s that rule? You’ll make a lot of money, so just give it to me! The failing rate for freshmen this time is 50%!”
“I’m going to talk about it at the scholarship selection meeting, but don’t expect too much. And it doesn’t matter whether the freshman fail rate is high or low. Our academy has been in the red since its foundation. isn’t it?”
When I heard it, it was true, but I couldn’t just admit it.
i have no money
It has been a long time since the settlement money paid by the Duke of Beltern was already used up for Medusha’s school uniforms, cards, and snacks.
When it comes to S rank summons, the maintenance cost is no joke.
Of course, you should also save the money that Medusha’s older sister gave you.
“The failing rate of freshmen is high, so of course scholarships…”
“No, it’s the other way around. A lot of freshmen drop out, so the amount of tuition has decreased. Anyway, think of a way to earn money.
Ersa, who spoke comfortably, cut off the communication.
I grabbed Medusha with a bewildered expression and screamed silently.
