Munchkin of the Summoning Academy

Midterm (2)

How long has it been since you avoided the onslaught of Elfriede?

When I woke up, it was the day of the exam.

The freshmen who met their fateful day left the dormitory with stern movements.

The average fail rate of the midterm exam in the first semester of the first year is 30%.

It is evident that he is praying that he will not be included in the 30%.

When I arrived at the written test center, eating breakfast, the first failed student was already decided.

Overhearing the quarrel with the test supervisor, it seems that he borrowed a summons from a high school student.

After getting the Summoner’s Book, Link, and Student ID checked, he went straight to the written test.

I was able to solve the problems with ease, but before I could even turn half of the exam paper, I hardened my face.

‘Isn’t this what you learned in class?’

Advanced problems that can only be learned from supplements.

He intends to filter out all those who do not find and study on their own.

But I did not panic and wrote the answer calmly.

Count El Cloud fell horribly, but the contents of the library were kept intact while almost all of the estates were lost.

And I spent more than half of my childhood in the mansion’s library.

It has been over ten years since he accumulated knowledge while resenting his older brother who ran away with the family’s summons.

This kind of problem is not even a concern.

However, the hunter next to me was a little different.

“Louis. Is that really true? Among the bird summons, more than medium-sized groups tend to flock…”

“I’ll add that to the next paragraph.”

The other test takers just had to solve the problem…

I had to explain to Medusha, who kept talking to me, and correct her error.

Thanks to this, I almost used up the time limit that was originally supposed to be generous.

Still, it was helpful in its own way when solving the problem of the ecology of snake summoned animals.

Go to the practical test center expecting a score that is infinitely close to a perfect score.

From now on, it can be said that this is the main part.

The Royal Magnus Summoning Academy places great importance on practical skills.

There is a tradition that, even if knowledge is accumulated, it is useless if it cannot be used.

During the entrance exam, there were many students who did not have a summons, so I couldn’t practice practical skills…

During the semester, more than 80% of the points awarded comes from practical skills.

Enter the exam hall with the support of Medusha, who is full of motivation.

Elemental Summoning, which I am not confident in myself, is the first.

I’m worried because even Medusha can’t help with this.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s not a very difficult task… It’s okay because the success rate has been raised a lot.”

In the midst of deliberately responding lightly, Elfriede, who took the first look, received a passing signal.

The workmanship that I see is impeccable.

It is a natural result since he must have been educated for the gifted as the heir of Gaju from an early age.

Then it’s my turn.

When I opened the portal in the same way as last time, the pass signal fell a little late.

Although the output is a little weak, it seems that it is judged that there is no big problem.

With a sigh of relief, I moved on to the test with the summoned beast.

With the overwhelming specifications of Medusha, she defeated all kinds of tasks with great brilliance.

Except for the spirit summoning skill, almost everything was expected to be perfect.

But it’s still too early to be vigilant.

In front of me, the summoned combat skill test with the most points remains.

Normally, it would be the same as passing when you have an S-Rank summons…

The Royal Magnus Academy is not that easy.

The professors will try to test me, not Medusha.

‘Isn’t it the professor himself?’

Another class in the first year has two S-rank summons.

However, inexperienced freshmen cannot compete with each other.

Elfriede had an accident a while ago, so I would be even more reluctant.

Fortunately, the professor has not already stepped forward.

Instead, a girl with a face she had never seen before appeared at the end of the dungeon.

Ultramarine blue summer clothes for 2nd graders only.

A silver-haired senior, almost white, stood opposite me.

Her height is a little taller than Elfriede.

Although she is quite beautiful, there is no motivation to be found throughout her body.

The color that came out of being pushed by force is strong.

‘Are you from the White House?’

A great aristocrat who protects the magical landscape of the north, the White Marquis family.

In addition to the silver hair unique to the family, it is famous for using very heterogeneous summons.

Due to the nature of the northern region, there are many guys who emit strong cold air…

They are no less than Medusha’s natural enemies.

‘It was very determined and chosen.’

As I stuck my tongue out, a familiar face caught my eye from the side.

Maria Westwall.

The cousin I met last time is sitting in the front row of the audience on the other side.

It looks like she’s friends with that girl.

I was worried about my overreaction last time, so I avoided my eyes, but the professor in charge of the exam explained the rules of Dalian anew.

It’s something you already know, but it’s an important event, so I think I’ll check it out one more time.

“Up to 3 summons can be used. However, only one can be used at a time. Direct attacks against the opponent’s summoner are prohibited. If the summoner touches outside the rosary, the over-the-counter card. Artifacts other than the summoner’s book are prohibited. Everyone Did you understand?”

“yes.”

“All right.”

I only have one summon, so it seems like a good rule over there…

Either way, winning or losing doesn’t really matter when you’re competing with the second year.

What matters is how you evaluate yourself in the process.

The professor also made it clear before sending the start signal.

“Only for this test, win or loss doesn’t have a big impact on the evaluation. Let’s do our best to compete. Then let’s get started!”

“Medusha!”

“Leave it to me!”

Medusha comes forward with my name.

The opponent beyond the rosary also opened the Summoner’s Book and picked out cards.

Amulet-shaped card unique to the White family.

Intricate patterns and magic characters were engraved on a pure white card.

“White Tail.”

“Keeing!”

A fox-shaped pet appeared with a cry that was difficult to describe.

A B-rank pet, Winter Fox.

Her white hair like snow is impressive.

Although not particularly strong, he possesses several magical abilities.

‘Are you also attacking with cold attribute summons?’

Snake pets, including Medusha, have the characteristics of cold-blooded animals, so they are vulnerable to temperature changes.

There will be some grade difference anyway, so it looks like they are determined to pierce their weaknesses without hesitation.

I quickly ordered before she did anything.

“Medusha, the petrified gaze!”

Paah!

An eye light that splits the wide dungeon in half.

As always, the effect was amazing.

The winter fox tried to dodge quickly, but it didn’t last long.

in between. The opposing summoner used elemental summoning to scatter cold on the battlefield.

Usually, if you’re doing something like that, you’ll be attacked directly…

Summoners cannot be attacked in this battle.

The other side is using the most effective tactics within the rules.

It’s a pretty good topic for a topic that didn’t seem to have much motivation.

“Ugh!”

Medusha frowned at the cold seeping over the scales.

I also wanted to summon the heat of the spirit world and fight it, but…

My transforming element summoning skill has a low output, so it’s obvious that it won’t work well.

Also, the temperature rise is not very good for snake pets.

Instead, prepare another summoning technique and watch the second opponent.

The opponent who drew the next card called out a little.

“Snow Hold.”

The second summon was a translucent ghost series.

An A-rank powerful pet, the Ice Spirit.

An evil spirit that could be 3 meters tall looked down at Medusha from the air.

Its mere existence causes a sudden drop in the temperature of its surroundings.

Since it is an opponent who has no physical substance, I wonder if Petrification’s gaze will work…

Medusha smiled as if it was plastic again.

“In front of a snake god who possesses a divine nature, a ghost summoned beast. That’s insulting.”

As he lightly swung the staff engraved with the snake god pattern, the shape of the ice ghost melted with the holy light.

It’s not surprising as if it was roughly expected there.

Even so, the cold of the dagger has become much stronger.

There is now only one summon left.

All of the previous works were paving stones for the last summons to play an active role.

As I am well aware of that, it can only be very tense.

Still… If you have a summons of rank A or lower, you can easily win.

As I was thinking about that, I finally pulled out my trump card from the other side.

“Justin. It’s your turn.”

“The captain is dispatched!”

A-rank summoned beast, Asura, appeared with a strong spirit.

It’s the same object I saw in the library last time.

So, was that yangban the summoner who slept next to him?

At that time, I couldn’t see properly because I was concentrating on my studies again.

Even Asura over there recognizes us and quickly greets us.

He wore thick armor and held a long sword in each of his six arms, but there were no blind spots in the front, back, left, and right sides.

“These are the people I met at the library last time. Nice to meet you.”

“Huh? Really?”

“Yes. You may not have noticed because she was sleeping next to me…”

A sense of intimidation that can be felt just by taking a rough combat stance.

It’s only on the tip of the knife, but I think it’s been cut three times already.

No matter how you look at it, it’s not an A-rank level.

Medusha also slightly stiffened her back, as if she had noticed her opponent’s skills.

I discovered the secret only after closely observing the opponent’s link.

A much thicker and clearer link than usual.

The magic of dark colors flows between the two of them without stopping.

‘Did you come out with the body?’

Genuine Summon.

It is not the incarnation commonly used by summoners, but descended with the main body from the home dimension.

Of course, he becomes much stronger than when he fights by manipulating a fake body, but…

Instead, the risk increases accordingly.

Unlike normal summons, you can send incarnations again even if you are reverse summoned.

Summons that descend with the Jinshin Summon can really die.

Therefore, even the most devoted summons avoid the summoning of Jinshin.

If you have at least one such summoner, your rank as a summoner goes up.

“time!”

Knowing the identity of the opponent, I requested a time-out without delay.

Bringing out Jinshin summons in a battle like this.

I’m not crazy.

As if expecting my reaction, the examiner smiling bitterly closes the distance.

“El Cloud. Is there any problem?”

“Professor. Can I fight Jinshin summoned beast?”

If you click, the summoned beast over there will die forever?

He reassures me, noticing the implications of my words.

“Don’t worry. There are only four professors in this position. If there’s any problem, we’ll intervene, so don’t worry and fight.”

“Yes. Thank you for your consideration, but this is an insult. Don’t underestimate Miss Christine’s pet.”

Asura chattering happily from the other side.

The three heads take turns speaking, but they don’t get confused.

I went back to my place with a feeling of uneasiness.

Christine White.

The next head of the White family.

At best, I thought he was from a branch, but he was a lot bigger than I thought.

Well, at that level, I would have been able to bring an S-rank pet to the academy.

Asura was originally ranked A, but Jinshin summoned beasts are one notch higher.

So it’s actually an S rank.

Now, Medusha must also fight seriously.

“Medusha!”

“Okay. If you say that, I won’t be able to touch you.”

Rarely, Medusha, who became serious, responded vigorously.

I finished the summoning in my hand and waited for the referee’s signal.
