Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

Medusha (2)

It’s everyone’s instinct to want to take a good rest on the weekend.

The academy taught us to forget our instincts.

The first weekend we had with Medusa.

I let go of the instinct that tied us all to bed and left the dormitory.

In one hand, Medusha’s hand.

And in the other hand is a bag full of textbooks.

I said it was okay to stay in the dormitory, but strangely, Medusha, who followed me, asked me later.

“By the way, where are you going all of a sudden since the morning of the weekend? The library?”

“No. There’s a little bit of work left over from the last case… I’d rather go to the library.”

The midterm exam is less than a month away.

The Royal Magnus Summoning Academy is harsh.

Even more so if you don’t have the money or the background like me.

If you fail the midterm and final exams once per semester, you will be expelled.

Thanks to this, the guys who used to go out to play until a while ago are still studying in the dormitory or library.

Medusha, noticing the decrease in the number of people on the street, murmured as if she was so worried.

“Wasn’t Lewis a perfect scorer on the entrance exam? I don’t have to worry about the practical exam… I don’t think I need to worry about the midterm.”

“I don’t have to worry about failing in written or practical skills, but if I’m sure of a perfect score, that’s not the case…”

It’s not like I’m already aiming for a senior graduation.

My goal is a scholarship.

Full scholarship awarded to the top 10% of grades.

When it breaks, I’m done.

I had money from the Duke of Beltern and Medusha’s sister last time, but…

That’s the military money you need to save until graduation.

I don’t plan on getting my hands on it anymore.

Even if it’s not just tuition, there are piles of places where you can get money.

‘It’s not a joke just for Medusha’s snacks right now…’

As we walked, worrying about various things, today’s destination came close to our eyes.

Baekokgwan is currently being used as a lecture hall for summoning therapy.

When an emergency occurs on campus, treatment is also provided here.

Summoning therapy is a lecture for upper grades that requires an understanding of the body structure of various summoned beasts.

Thanks, so far, I haven’t had a kite.

The lecture itself is famous for being incredibly tight, so I don’t want to make a deep connection in the future.

I took a small deep breath and opened the front door, and the strong smell of disinfectant stung my nostrils.

The overall atmosphere is gloomy, so that the name Baekokgwan is colorless.

Medusha, who remembered the conversation with me belatedly, pointed out an important part.

“By the way, how are you going to take care of the last case? Since you and your sister went to the housekeeper, wasn’t it already over?”

“It’s the political side. But it’s still unclear why I was able to take your link… I’m here to find out.”

It is said that several professors were enthusiastically requesting the investigation.

Throughout the long history of Summoner Academia, it seems that there have been very few cases like this.

In fact, I’m not even sure how I managed to do it.

He regained his breath and looked at the nameplate in the professor’s room.

I found the name ‘Ersa Cutter’ in the corner on the second floor and knocked on the door a few times.

Quite a humble surname.

That’s not a very good sign.

I hesitated for a while because an ambiguous voice came out from the inside, whether it was permission or rejection, but…

I mustered up the courage to turn the handle.

It’s not like I called you and told you to turn it off.

Fortunately, the fire did not fall even when the door was opened.

There were a total of two professors waiting inside.

One is the Spirit Summoning Professor I’ve seen several times…

The other, Professor of Summoned Beast Healing, is the first face you see.

Short cut, not too short, and strong eyes.

He is very young for a professor.

The outfit seen through the white gown is quite shocking.

It’s see-through where the inside is exposed… I wonder if it’s okay to wear something like that for a professor whose name is a professor.

I decided not to be cocky and said hello.

“This is Lewis Elcloud.”

“You came just in time. Sit down.”

Unexpected hospitality from a professor I see for the first time.

When he was seated on the patient chair without a back, the examination began without delay.

Draw my blood, see the magic reaction, etc. very serious

Measure measurements, height, weight, etc., and follow up with urine tests.

I’m taking a breather to see if it’s over now, so I have them open the door to the spirit realm out of the blue.

The physical examination I did when I entered the academy was not to this extent.

The professors who investigated the links between me and Medusha exchanged opinions with careful expressions.

“I think the link is a little out of whack?”

“The success rate of elemental summoning is strangely low. Did you fail all three elemental summons?”

“Yes. The spirits didn’t come all three times…”

“I think the spirits hate you.”

I wondered if it was a silly joke all of a sudden, but…

See-through’s Summoned Beast Healing Professor was very serious.

The spirit summoning professor nodded his head lightly as if he agreed.

“It’s not that we couldn’t open the door to the spirit world at all… it’s unusual to be rejected three times. It can only be seen that the spirits instinctively avoid Louis. So, the success rate of elemental summoning is also low.”

This gentleman, didn’t you tell me this sincerely the last time?

As I was biting my tongue, the two professors started a discussion using various jargon.

At first, I didn’t understand what you meant, but when I focused on the subject and verb, I got a rough idea.

The two were euphemistically exchanging the words, ‘Let’s try using some of your pets’.

Sensing that the story would be long, I took the book out of my bag and started studying for the exam.

Since I am confident in my major classes related to summoned beasts, I should focus on liberal arts classes such as kingdom history.

Medusha, who had lost all interest, borrowed a chair in the professor’s office and began to doze off.

Usually at times like this, I take a break from the book of the summons…

It seems like he really hates being stored in a sub-space.

After the discussion, the professors chose a relatively easy conclusion.

Link was corrupted by Elfriede’s use of a forbidden artifact, so it wouldn’t be strange if a catastrophe occurred.

After nearly three hours of arguing with each of them, the conclusion is the same as mine.

I couldn’t help but doubt the abilities of the academy professors.

“Um… Then I’ll go first. Let me know when the test results come out.”

“Yes, please be careful.”

Ersa Cutter turned her head toward me, throwing out an unfaithful greeting.

The moment I closed the book, wondering if I could get up too soon.

She leaned back on the chair, crossed one leg, and fixed me with the eyes of a beast.

It’s completely different from when there was a spirit summoning professor.

“Earl of El Cloud. Did you deceive the amount of mana?”

“… yes?”

I tried pretending to be surprised, but to no avail.

It looks like the test results just came out.

Medusha, noticing the suspicious air, quickly returned to my back.

Then Ersa picked up my blood sample.

“If you do a detailed inspection like this, it will show. What was measured at the time of the entrance examination is less than half that. Right?”

If you keep pretending not to know, it’s in vain.

I squeezed my chest and nodded my head slightly.

Ersa, who laughed at my reaction, smirked as if praising.

“You did well. If you had shown your strength, you would have been on the dissection team instead of getting a scholarship.”

“That’s about it…”

As if slightly shocked, Medusa stood behind her.

The professor who looked down on me before gives a rather cool answer.

“It’s only natural that you weren’t chosen by the spirits. They must have known what kind of dragon you are? They’ll run away as soon as you smell it.”

“Louis, were you a dragon?”

There was so much magical power that the contract was impossible.

This is a bit surprising.

When she laughed at Medusha’s feelings of no help, Ersa spoke with a fondness for her.

“You don’t even know the source of this magic power, do you want me to investigate?”

“Investigation? How?”

“From now on, come here on the second and fourth Sundays of every month for a test. I’ll tell you all the test results honestly.”

“Are you really just testing?”

As soon as he pointed out the suspicious part, Ersa avoided her gaze.

She is a celestial scholar.

There’s no way I’ll leave a sample like mine and just test it quietly.

Still, what am I going to do?

After all, the hilt of the sword is being held over there.

It would be better to suffer from one Ersa than to suffer from all the professors in the academy.

As I nodded slightly, Ersa patted me on the back.

“Then, study hard for the exam. If you fail, that’s what you get.”

“I’m a scholarship student anyway… If you’re really worried, let me know about the exam questions.”

“It’s an open book anyway. I never imagined something like that when I was in school. Don’t smoke and go back.”

Ersa chases me away with a small grunt.

Medusha, who was curious about the first word she heard, asked a small question.

“Lewis. What is an open book? Does that mean that I can test while looking at the textbook?”

“No. Not that book. This book.”

I knocked on the summoner’s book hanging from my waist.

A subspace artifact used as a temporary shelter for resting pets.

An open book means that you can get help from a pet when you take an exam.

The summoner’s ability is the summoner’s ability.

Under such a concept, joint examination is allowed.

Of course, it’s a rule that doesn’t mean much to me.

My only pet, Medusha, is not interested in studying.

Medusha, who finally understood the meaning of the open book, clenched her fists and nodded her head.

“Okay. Don’t worry, I’ll help you by my side. I’m not confident in the history of the kingdom, the biology of pets, foreign languages, and the theory of summoning…”

Are there any remaining writing classes after all of that?

I put up with that kind of pin-zan and stroked the guy’s head.

Medusha doesn’t like being treated like a child, so she lightly flicks my hand and counterattacks.

“This is something only I can do.”

I lowered my posture so that he could stroke his hair easily, and I slowly headed towards the dining room.

Simply fill your stomach and head straight to the library.

It was a little late, so it was not easy to find an empty seat.

The academy’s library was much larger than any other lecture building, but that was the case.

It was difficult to find a seat for two and sat down.

Medusha fell asleep in less than 5 minutes, disregarding the support she had previously supported.

I proceeded to study for the exam with the eyes of the library manager.

Even if it is an open book in the first place, there are very few summons who can take the proxy test.

I’m afraid to console myself like that.

In the opposite seat, Asura, a three-headed, A-rank summoned animal, arrived at the library with the owner.

Three heads and six arms took out the textbook without delay and started learning as it is.

The owner just sleeps next to him.

Does having three heads triple the speed of learning?

Thanks to this, I got a sore throat and concentrated my eyes on the review.

Medusha’s horn kept stabbing me in the arm.
