My Summons Are Special

2. Would you like to place a bet?

Hearing my words, the priest cleared his hard expression and opened his mouth.

“… … What do you mean by not pulling it out?”

“Literally.”

The priest in charge of the summoning ceremony is bewildered and asks me. But I had no intention of violating my choice.

It was because he understood how the rough summons worked.

‘Isn’t this completely double billing?’

As a result of carefully examining the gachas of other children, even if they had the right to summon a certain summoned beast, it seemed that she could not immediately summon him.

It looks like it can be summoned by consuming soul power to activate the summoning circle and throwing heirlooms there.

‘That sounds crazy.’

If I use a confirmed summon ticket that can only be obtained by consuming a certain amount of money, does it cost more money?

If this had been the case in the game, they would have stood up as a group saying they were charged double, but in reality, who the hell did you ask? You can’t even pray to God.

But the priest heard me and shook his head.

“It cannot be. The summoning ceremony is a sacred event… … .”

“Sir.”

“… … tell me.”

“The heirloom that was supposed to be sent from home hasn’t arrived yet.”

“It was really unfortunate, but… … .”

“I’m not asking you to let me do something wrong, can’t you just wait one more week?”

“Uh, uh… … .”

The priest began to worry. It was natural. In this academy, which is said to have been built to nurture excellent summoners, it is not a difficult request to ask them to wait about a week to select a better summoner.

Now, if you twist it a little, it looks like it will fall over. I opened my mouth for a finishing blow.

“If that’s the case… … .”

“Don’t waste your time, why don’t you just pull it out?”

A sharp voice from the side pierced my ears. I turned my head to confirm the owner of the voice.

‘… … Stella Eritz.’

The main heroine of the game and the signboard heroine, who always ranks in the top 5 in popularity polls, poked her head out.

‘Why all of a sudden?’

Have you ever heard what I said before? Is it in return for that, and you’re arguing here?

I smiled, pretending not to know, and asked her.

“what?”

“Did you say Ian Clark? It’s a family I’ve never heard of… At best, he’ll be a baron stuck in the frontier.”

I don’t know either. But I couldn’t get down here. that’s what she wants

“therefore?”

“It must be said that this is the level of heirloom to be sent from such a poor family, so don’t waste your time and give up here.”

“… … Did you have that authority?”

“authority? This is a recommendation. This is personal advice.”

Even she had no authority to force my summoning ceremony. But people do not fall before authority.

collapse in the face of power.

I checked the priest’s expression. It really didn’t look very good.

Even if I didn’t look at her, even the priest wouldn’t be able to not look at her.

Because she was the eldest daughter of Iritsu, one of the only four dukes in the empire.

‘then… … .’

I was just taking advantage of this situation.

“So, you’re saying you should give up because there will be a one-star summon anyway?”

“Yeah, I got it.”

“What if I choose a 3-star pet?”

“… … What?”

her face hardens At this place today, there was not a single person except for her who picked a 3-star summons.

Among the children who have not yet been drawn, there may be a child who will pick up a 3-star summoned beast… … If that’s easy, it wouldn’t be a big deal for her to pick a 3-star pet.

“A week later, when the summoning ceremony was held again. What if I summon a 3-star pet?”

“… … There is no way that would be possible.”

“Are you scared? The girl from Iritz?”

“… … you.”

Stella’s eyes are sharp. Had it not been for this academy, I would have been dragged away by her minions and beaten to the brim.

However, this is an academy, and in the academy, you have to follow the rules of the academy.

‘Equality. That’s a good thing. Especially when I’m a subordinate.’

Ever since the first emperor of the empire came from a commoner who had no background, and luckily summoned a 5-star summoned beast. All children talented enough to become summoners are treated equally.

This was the reason why the protagonist in the game could spit out slanderous words towards the heroines who were the heirs of the duke and marquis without any titles.

Likewise, within the academy, I and her position are the same. If I went out after graduating, I would be skeptical, but after graduating anyway, I wouldn’t be here.

Of course, if I summon a 1-star or 2-star summons, I’m going to be dumbfounded… … .

‘I can’t.’

I draw a 3-star pet. somehow.

“Ok, fine.”

After a very brief thought, Stella pointed a finger at me and shouted.

“I’ll wait a week. But be prepared, if you summon a petty summons in a week… … .”

“if?”

“It’s shameful to be in the same room with a liar who doesn’t even know the honor, so I should resign.”

“great. So what if it succeeds?”

“If you succeed… … What?”

“Postponing the summoning ceremony is something anyone can ask for, but you were the one who stopped it, right? I put conditions on such a subject, so there should be a reward when it succeeds.”

“… … Ha, that’s funny.”

Yeah, you have to be funny. Even if you’re arguing with all sorts of sophistry that’s shattered with logic, you have to take care of something now that you can’t be smart.

“Ok, fine. What do you want?”

“I said earlier that it would be obvious if you didn’t even see it if you had to ask your family to go, didn’t you?”

“okay.”

“Then, if I choose 3 stars from that heirloom, can I draw a higher summoned beast from the Iritz family heirloom?”

“… … you, please.”

“If I succeed, give me one of your family heirlooms.”

Stella’s expression hardened. Originally, it was something she could not decide on her own will. Even if she is the eldest daughter of the duke family and the successor to the next generation, isn’t she the head of the household right now?

The family heirloom was not something that even the head of the family could take out at will.

However, Stella Iritz was a person who pierced the sky with only one pride.

“Ha, yes. If you really succeed! That’s about it, I’ll do whatever it takes.”

“—Did you promise?”

No words were needed. I immediately bowed to the priest and left the temple.

The priest said uh-huh, but he forgot me.

* * *

‘done.’

Returning to the dormitory, I lay flat on my bed and checked the rewards of the attendance check I saw this morning.

[Day 1 Reward ─ 100 Soul Power]

With this, the soul power to activate the magic circle was collected. And I immediately turned to the 7th day reward.

[Day 7 Reward – 3-Star Random Summon Ticket]

‘It’s over.’

If I just wait a week, I can definitely get a 3-star pet. It’s a little annoying that it’s random, but it’s better than summoning 1 or 2 stars.

At that moment, a quest window flashing slightly in the corner caught my eye.

[Sub Quest]

Get approval from Stella Eritz (NEW!)

─Receive heirloom (random) upon success

Expulsion on Failure (Death)

‘… … No, the reward was what I asked for anyway.’

Looking at the shameless quest window, I slowly closed my eyes. I’m tired of going through a lot of things at once.

However, I immediately opened my eyes.

“… … Oh, I have class today.”

Realizing that I had escaped at will during the summoning ceremony, I got up. Finding a classroom shouldn’t be too difficult. Because there was a quest window.

‘What are you trying to teach in this world in the first place?’

In a fantasy world, even in an academy that deals with summoned beasts and fights against demons, it is unlikely that mathematics or science will be taught frivolously.

So curious, I left the room.

* * *

While walking down the hallway, the eyes of the children fly and stick. All the children looked at me and muttered to each other.

‘Damn, did I drag too much aggro… … .’

One of the four pillars of the Empire, the attack on Stella Eritz quickly spread throughout the academy.

The reason they don’t put their hands on me isn’t because they’re afraid of Stella, who bets with me, or because they’re afraid of a baron’s family I don’t know.

Paradoxically, I’ve been able to put my opponent’s prestige on my back by throwing it at an opponent I couldn’t handle.

‘Is it here?’

Come into the classroom and sit anywhere. In a classroom with a college-like feel, he sits in a rough corner and avoids the eyes of children.

When I sat in the back, I didn’t look back openly, so I was able to avoid his gaze.

After spending a lot of time fussing around, the teacher came in and gathered the children’s attention.

The teacher was a muscular, bald man with a plump body.

“nice to meet. I am Oliver Crockett, who has been in charge for a year.”

He said so and showed the back of my hand. It was not visible from afar, but seeing the children sitting in the front exhale, it seemed to be a fairly high-ranking pet.

Fortunately for the students in the back seat, he kindly explained what my summons were.

“As you can see, I am the owner of the three-star pet, the Stone Turtle.”

stone turtle. A summoned beast that is useful for tanking, but is discarded later because it has no other performance.

However, at the very beginning of the story, he was a summoning beast that would be a strong support.

“I summoned this summoned beast without any heirs.”

“Wow… … .”

“How… … .”

The children who heard that, of course, exclaimed in exclamation as well. You picked a 3-star pet from a normal gacha? It’s also a step-by-step?

That was incredible luck. Among the hundreds of thousands of users, those who have experienced such an experience will not exceed hundreds.

“That’s because of my ‘skills’, and although it’s not enough, you guys can become great summoners like me… … .”

“… … ?”

But what followed, I couldn’t help but doubt my ears. It was because the words he had just uttered were beyond common sense.

‘… … skill?’

Where the hell are the skills in gacha? In gacha, the only skills are money and luck.

However, he was talking as if it was my ability to pick a three-star summons, so it was ridiculous.

I can’t stand my itchy mouth. I finally couldn’t stand it and raised my hand.

“there… … Ian Clark? What’s going on?”

“I have a question for you.”

“Yeah, what?”

“So, among the students you taught, did you have any students who summoned 3 stars?”

At that, he shuts his mouth. yes it is Where’s your gacha skill?

But perhaps because of his pride, he explained with a casual smile.

“Hmm, my career isn’t very long, so there is no student who has summoned a 3-star summoned animal like me yet… … There are several disciples who summoned a two-star summoned beast.”

“Oh, yes. All right.”

If there are several, is that what you call pride now? 3 and 2 stars are only 10 times different on the surface, but the probability of experiencing them is hundreds of times.

It’s the same in games that gather a lot of soul power with sage, but what about people in a different world who only need to be summoned once in their lifetime, or two or three times at most?

The difference between the 2nd and 3rd stars was a real difference.

And even knowing that, I was confident that I would choose 3 stars.
