chapter 6
6. Practice
Early in the morning, I wake up to the sound of the attendance check alarm that goes off every day at 6 o’clock. I open my eyes and meditate for a while, and after about 10 minutes I go to the bathroom and wash my face lightly to wake up.
After waking up, I change into my sportswear and go straight out of the dormitory to the training ground prepared for the students inside the academy.
The training ground was unnecessarily wide and grand, probably because it was a space for practicing dealing with all kinds of huge and powerful summons.
I ran the track in the middle. It was also a track to check the physical abilities of the pets, but often the students ran to improve their stamina.
“Huh, huh… .”
Although the body was incomparable to the real body, the track prepared for the monsters who easily surpassed humans was too daunting for even a trained student to run.
It only took close to 30 minutes to run one lap, so considering that it was running close to full power for the entire 30 minutes, it was ridiculously wide.
‘If you have talent like this, you will accept everything… … .’
It wasn’t for nothing that people left the fate of the continent to the summoner. It was no longer uncommon for a knight, a battle specialist who had trained his whole life, to lose to a one-star pet.
It is difficult for such people to gather as a group for a two-star summoned creature, and a three-star summoned animal cannot be captured by the force of the army.
Summoners with such power in the Empire were given the title of nobility and placed under their command for a reason.
It was also the case that the Academy students did not hesitate to summon even a little higher summons… … .
After successfully circling the track, I breathed lightly and sweated profusely.
“Whew… … Shall I go back?”
When I returned to the dormitory, it was already 7 o’clock, and it was time for the students to wake up one by one.
I showered and headed to the classroom. In just one day, the way the children looked at me had changed drastically.
It was a little difficult to get used to.
* * *
“I will start a proper class from today.”
The teacher at the school table said so. Since it was a proper class, it was full of wrong theories that were of no use to the classes I had taken so far.
As if reading my thoughts, the homeroom teacher continued the story while glaring at me.
“Until yesterday, the summoning ceremony for all the cadets had not been completed, so we had no choice but to hold a theory class.
Oh, it was because of me… Thinking about it, I bowed my head. If you had a conscience, it was unavoidable.
“Everyone, change into your gym uniform and come to the first training ground.”
After that, the children went to their respective rooms. Since the dormitory was fairly close to the school, everyone was going to change clothes in my room.
Of course I went to my room.
After changing clothes and arriving at the training ground to spend time, the students arrived late one by one.
After confirming that all the children had arrived, Oliver gathered them all together and summoned his summons.
Standing next to a solid stone turtle whose whole body is made of stone, he explained the contents of today’s practice class to the students.
“Each summons has their own unique skills. Anyone know what it says?”
“This is Original Arts.”
“Yeah, and the original arts are owned by all summoners, but not all summoners can use them. Why?”
“Because it wasn’t strongly connected with the minions.”
“Yes. Summoners who do not increase their intimacy with their summons will not be able to bring out the abilities of their summons.”
Oliver spoke proudly as if what I was saying was true, but as I listened to it, I felt a Gestalt collapse.
original… … what? What is another bizarre skill that you can’t remember the name of, and if your intimacy is low, you can’t use it? No matter how much Project Luna was a game, it was not unplayed.
But he folded his arms and instructed the students.
“What you guys are going to do today is to develop intimacy with my summoned beasts and learn the original arts. If you succeed, come to me.”
After saying those words, the homeroom teacher laid out a chair and parasol brought from somewhere, lay on it, and began to enjoy a leisurely rest.
The students looked at him with an expression of absurdity for a moment, but Oliver’s face wasn’t thin enough to penetrate.
“… Summons.”
Eventually, the children who gave up summoned their summons one by one and began to build bonds with their own. I couldn’t understand it, but I couldn’t stand alone in the yard where everyone else was talking with the summoned beast, so I summoned Anna.
“—Come out.”
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
It was always a showy show. Anna, who came out of the wings spread out on the back of her hand, looked around and made sure that there was no danger before turning her head to me.
“Master, what are you doing?”
“What kind of intimacy do I want to build with you?”
“I am already one body with the Master.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The original arts or anything else must be talking about a special move anyway, and since I already knew how to use it, there was no need to put any effort into it.
As I was chatting and flirting with Anna, someone hit my back.
“Ian-! Did you have a good date yesterday?”
“… … A date, what are you talking about?”
“But, yesterday… … town.”
I immediately shut her mouth. Stella had nothing to do with it, and it shouldn’t have been. But what if a motto comes out of her mouth, the marquise?
it gets quite difficult It didn’t matter if I was the only one in trouble, but the spread of rumors about Stella was a big problem.
The Iritz family will investigate the truth of the rumors right away, and in that case, even if Stella has to drop out of the academy, they will cut off ties with me.
Well, it’s okay to have another child.
“What’s going on?”
“Did you do that last time? Bluebirds have great powers hidden in them.”
“I didn’t even say that.”
“Um, but don’t you think that tremendous power will come out? What can I do?”
Why are you asking me that, I looked at Shira with that expression. She looked at me with a bright smile.
If she kept her mouth shut, she was a very beautiful woman, so she couldn’t be angry with her face.
“Do it like the other kids.”
“In that way?”
At her words, I looked around the other children to see how they socialized with my minions. Whether it was interpreted literally to build intimacy, most of the students were building their affinity with the summoned beast by face-to-face or kissing.
‘Look at that one hundred days… … .’
Its special moves are to use it as a gauge for the level and special attacks of the pet, not love and friendship.
However, since probability is such a strange thing, students often realized their special moves while they were doing something so absurd.
“Teacher. It seems to have happened.”
“okay?”
Oliver put down the paper he was reading and got up lightly. Then he pointed to my summons and said.
“Then try it.”
“… … Yes? But it would be dangerous.”
“My minions are not weak enough to be attacked by 1-star pets. Rather, if you succeed in inflicting even a single wound with your pet, I will praise you.”
“… … All right.”
The student clenched his fists in anger, but he wasn’t wrong. If a 3-star pet is weak enough to be beaten by a 1-star, why would the players pour that expensive money on them because they were crazy?
In this world that has become a reality, will you be treated just because you have a high-ranking pet?
The three-star wall was that big.
“Ask!”
─Creung!
The unknown student gave such an order to my pet, the gray wolf. At the same time, the wolf’s teeth begin to shine sharply.
But-.
close!
─Cheein!
The wolf’s teeth cannot penetrate the turtle’s shell and break as it is. The gray wolf looked at its master with tears in his eyes.
It’s stupid, but even with the exception of the stars, it’s not a normal judgment to give an order to bite a stone. Slowly, I felt like I knew the role of a summoner in another world.
‘… … He’s a complete Pokemon Master.’
There is no reason for an academy like this to be created only if the summons fight well on their own. It’s enough just to summon and send out the summons from a safe place.
However, the summoner is entirely at the discretion of the summoner. If the summoner makes a stupid decision, the summoner has no choice but to respond.
The summoner uses the summoner’s abilities in the right place. The academy was a place where those skills were nurtured.
In that sense, that guy made an utterly stupid decision.
Perhaps the homeroom teacher made the same judgment as me, and he frowned as he created wrinkles on his bald forehead.
“Where did you come up with the idea of making a stone tortoise, which has a strong defense, rush so recklessly?”
“Yeah, but the teacher told me to attack… … .”
“So, was the attack successful? Only your summons were unilaterally defeated. Now, what are you going to do? There are no summons left to protect you.”
When Oliver said that, the turtle started to curl me in a circle. The stone tortoise, which was spinning round and round in place, was shot at the student like a cannonball.
Gagging, the student fell down after being hit by a stone turtle in the stomach. Oliver opened his mouth as if it was nothing.
“Always think like the real thing. If it was a real battle, you would be dead now. From now on, let’s think about how to make use of the wolf’s mobility. next.”
But it was impossible for a student to go straight to Oliver after seeing the scene. Seeing this, Oliver muttered that he had no patience and looked at me.
“Ian Clark.”
“Yes.”
“Doesn’t it look like you’ve succeeded by playing with your friends?”
“sorry.”
“If you have time to flirt, go ahead.”
As he said that, he looked as if he knew something. Oh, do it. There’s no way he, the teacher, hasn’t heard of what happened yesterday.
And if I had read the report of yesterday’s events, I would have easily understood that I used my skills to defeat the monster.
It’s not normal for light to come out of the shield.
“… … I have no desire to fight.”
“Hmm, then we can make it.”
Oliver took the student roster out of his pocket and began to scribble something. Are you going to give me a penalty point for not listening to me?
“If you succeed in scratching my minions, I will exempt you from my classes this semester.”
“exemption… … that is.”
“You don’t have to come to class. You will have to take the test, but other than that, I will give you a perfect score.”
Hearing that, I smiled and started to warm up. I can’t stand the right to leave class legally.
But the unexpected may happen. I asked him in a worried tone.
“What are you going to do if you kill the turtle?”
“This training ground has been specially treated with magic. Summons cannot harm others.”
“Ah, so I… … .”
I remembered the last time I mercilessly threw a stone turtle into the boat of a former student. I did such an ignorant thing to do when I died, but it must have been a place that didn’t take any damage in the first place.
There were a few places like this in the game. A place that boasts each other’s billing power, mainly used for PVP.
“I will go.”
Well, the time has come to educate newbies who have never taken a picture of the ceiling as a character in the game.
