A Sleepy Summoner Wants To Rest

36 – 1. Academy (36)

#36

The morning of the fifth day was bright.

In spite of such an unfortunate incident yesterday, the academy started operating as normal.

Since it was not possible to immediately identify the main culprit of the incident and the damage from mental contamination was less than expected, it seems that it was decided that it would be beneficial for the students to proceed with the academic calendar quickly based on this incident.

It can be seen as a little irresponsible, but in fact this is correct.

It is an academy with many minor incidents as it is. It’s strange that things don’t explode as many people gather.

Rather, if you take a break every time something like this happens, you won’t be able to have a normal class, so you won’t see good results either externally or internally.

Those who apply to the academy are definitely here to become stronger, not to gain nominal honor.

People grow the fastest when they feel it with their own body in a crisis.

As if adding strength to the theory that only those who roll in the field can know, the first graders this year were spirited without realizing it.

Because I witnessed the scene of the terrible crime with my own two eyes, the danger brought by the villains and the desire for power grew even greater.

That’s why the academy decided to consider it fortunate that they were able to filter out the rough stones with this incident.

After gaining a skill and exhausted, I went back to my room and fell asleep as if I were dead.

It’s as if the whole day was blown away, but it was noisy outside, so I decided to just rest.

A person from the academy arrived on the way to the room and asked if he would listen to the circumstances, but in a drowsy state, he casually said that it was magical exhaustion, so he sent a form asking him to write and submit a report later and left.

Isn’t it too good to use as an excuse? Exhaustion of mana.

How are you? It’s good if I’m comfortable. Of course, I had to spread the notoriety of my premature ejaculation with magical powers, but I didn’t care.

Aren’t you lacking in magic instead of just believing in those rumors? Since you can change the face of the bastards who split the thread while doing it from the front, you can rest and take a break, and you can set traps, so it’s one stone and two pairs.

I spent half a day in bed like that. I’ve been running too hard for the last 4 days. If you just run, it will spread along the way. In times like this, rapid control is more important.

I fell asleep while admonishing myself like that. It was morning when I closed my eyes and opened them. Didn’t dream

I changed into my school uniform and arrived at the classroom with Calorie Mate in my mouth. I thought I slept for quite a while, but strangely, I fell asleep again.

Still, I slept again and, like last time, I felt like I was taking a survey, so I fiddled with my device from the morning and filled in the blanks in the ejaculation listening section.

Any sentence seemed nothing more than a simple assortment. To be honest, I had no motivation.

The atmosphere in the class might be even more depressed because it was generally gloomy and sharp as yesterday’s event was work.

At least, the quick-tempered guys tried to liven up the atmosphere, but even that was not cool. In times like this, time is medicine, so it’s best to just take a good rest and forget about it, but you’re doing useless things.

If you force yourself to do that, there are bound to be people who object. In fact, some of them didn’t look very good. However, with Ban Tae-woong at the center of it, the feeling of forcibly enduring even that was strong.

Others would ask if they weren’t aware of it, but because Ban Tae-woong himself came forward and did that, the guys who were watching the gloomy children without much emotion are trying to go back to their normal daily lives even though they are a little shy.

Spending time with someone to build up new emotions and release the ones underneath is also a method in its own way. I can’t understand it, but let’s say it’s good because the current sh*tty atmosphere itself can be changed.

‘Is it still Day 5?’

I feel like 30 days have passed, but it’s only been 5 days since I started.

If you had time to adapt on the 1st day, prove yourself on the 2nd day, and check your own and the other person’s capabilities on the 3rd and 4th day, then the 5th day is a challenge to see how far your strength can go.

To be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that most of the composition of the 2nd to 4th days is focused on battles. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was an unpleasant test process for non-combatants, as those of combative positions naturally receive attention.

As such, the last 5~6 days are structured so that they can hope for the light.

If all the classes so far have been led by the class, this time we will be conducting in a specialized field. If it’s a swordsman, it’s a swordsmanship, if it’s a wizard, it’s magic, if it’s a priest, it’s a test of healing and divine power.

Moreover, it will be a step to discover one’s potential that one did not know, or to learn more deeply the manifestation of the power of feeling different from now.

Then there will be people saying this one by one. If you’re going to do it anyway, isn’t it right to do this from the front? I mean.

That sounds soft.

As long as you don’t have the guts to come this far anyway, you don’t need to pay attention to them because they can’t stand the pressure and stress and will fall off soon.

Also, the saying that assistants can’t fight is a thing of the past. Even an auxiliary job can do battle well enough.

The biggest example is one of the world’s top rankers.

He is the strongest alchemist who earned the title of [Hyeonwang] And proudly entered the top 10, beating other combat positions.

With such a precedent, a trend was formed that even assistant positions could fight enough, and now conditions such as being able to fight directly and procure materials have become a kind of preferential condition.

Because it is human psychology to want to get a job in a good place, naturally, non-combat positions also became more like a kind of ‘supporter’ such as a healer or a buffer.

Hong Soo-ah, who entered the classroom for morning routine, took her seat in front of her desk.

“Today, you can receive missions from professors or teachers regardless of class time. The detailed set will be delivered to each device, so get at least two pass stamps from the classes you chose.”

Different from the previous one, Hong Soo-ah, who spoke calmly and didn’t get too hot, started the next story with a sigh.

“It doesn’t matter if I fail today. The deadline is until tomorrow, so you can continue to challenge yourself. But the opportunity is until 6:00 p.M. Tomorrow night. Those who do not prove their skills after that point will be immediately expelled.”

At those words, drool flowed from many places. There were those who kept her mouth shut and gnashed their teeth, saying that she would be expelled even at a time like this, and there were those who ignited her fighting spirit, saying that they would definitely show their worth this time.

At that response, Soo-ah Hong let out a shallow sigh and said,

“There will be a welcome party for new students on Sunday, as scheduled. Until then, I hope she can be recognized by the faculty that she is a good fit for Sunrise Academy. Today, the meeting is ideal, and tomorrow you can go to the mission you belong to without having to go to school separately. More than that.”

With those words in mind, Hong Soo-ah arranged her books and walked away from her desk. At the same time, the notification delivered through the device contained concise information about where the missions of the [Mamulology], [Exploration], And [Summoning] Courses I chose were to be held.

‘Ah’

As I was looking at it, I remembered that all but one of them overlapped with the main character, so I had to put up with my face getting crumpled. I won’t do it then I let out a sigh because I wondered if it was a build-up for this.

If you look where Ban Tae-woong is, you can see that he is surrounded by guys who have chosen the [Close-Range Combat] Class. Let’s get out of this gap.

If you can match the time zone well, you can solve the mission quickly without meeting Ban Tae-woong. Isn’t it a story that if you take care of all the work within today, you can legally have your own public lectures tomorrow?

I headed straight to the lecture room where the [Summoning] Lecture was held. On the way, the movement overlapped with some of the students, as if they had chosen the same department as me.

Unlike me, who inadvertently skipped it, everyone met as a group and began to chat in whispers, as if they had known each other for the first class. But most of them had a strong gloomy feeling, no different from our class.

As I was waiting in the classroom, a certain cat proudly opened the door and entered the classroom.

It was a beautiful cheese cat with a combination of light brown and white. What’s interesting is that he wears a stylish bow tie with a bipedal walk despite being a cat?

Just looking at it, it didn’t look normal.

That’s a summoned beast. Either way, it looked more like a familiar that shared a soul similar to that of the hives, not made by contract. I can’t say anything for the first time, but I felt that way.

The cat stood on top of the table with a natural movement and began to wash the cat’s face with its front paws, blinking as it was. Then he looked around and looked in the direction I was in, then nodded and opened his mouth.

“Nya, long time no see. I’ve explained it before, but I’ll introduce it again in case someone forgot! Soria, who was in charge of the summoning class, is it called Mauni? Good luck in the future!”

The fluent voice of a person mixed with the mediocre cry of a cat created a sense of humor. It seemed that the expression of the children who were somewhat depressed and nervous at the sight of them grooming themselves while licking their own jellies seemed to relax little by little.

I must have been aiming for that and openly acted like that. It’s something I do with that body in mind.

“Nya! Then, will you reveal the summoning mission!!”

Pangpang!

The moment he clapped the jelly with the palm of his hand, a magic circle was created above the cat’s head and dozens of creatures popped out.

There were ones with normal appearances, ones with unusually small sizes, ones with elements blooming on their bodies, and ones with different colors from the original or fluffy ones that couldn’t be seen as living things at all.

They all took the form of sparrows, pigeons, dogs, bugs, etc… Animals common in the city.

A distinctive feature is that it wears a bow tie somewhere on its body, just like a cat? It must have been intentionally equipped with that tie.

“From now on, I just have to defeat these summoned by Nya!”

They moved quickly and scattered in all directions before the students could even move.

There were also some who skillfully opened the window or walked out the door of the classroom proudly, while others naturally scattered outside as if passing through a wall.

I could see that he hadn’t done this once or twice, as he moved so naturally and started to disappear as if he was running away after closing the door that had been opened as if it were natural.

Are you asking me to find those little guys in this large academy? It’s a pretty difficult problem, but it seemed like there was nothing that couldn’t be done. In particular, there is even a decisive hint of a bow tie, so it is clear that it will stand out even more.

I could see that some of the cadets were relieved at the difficulty level, which was easier than expected.

I looked down at them with cold eyes, who were openly relieved. To show such a complacent attitude while personally feeling the way the academy educates for these five days, unless the memory was impaired due to yesterday’s incident, he had no idea.

“However, you can’t move from here! Are summoned beasts the only ones allowed to leave this classroom?!”

As expected. Soria Maui has a rather smirk to say she was built by a cat, and she has a bombshell declaration. Because she said such vicious words while smiling coolly, at first there were even those who doubted their ears to see if she had heard the wrong thing.

“Yes!?”

“Such…!”

Ignoring those who couldn’t accept the situation and making devastated faces, I went straight to the window and opened it. Then, he put magic into his fingers. Remembering is our first. My trusty aide and watchtower that never misses the enemy.

“Hive”

Perfect!

“Kahah!!”

With the condensation of magical power, Hive appeared in the air and at the same time began to fly to the other side of the sky.

I quietly closed my eyes and injected magic through the passage connected to the hive. Then, magical energy swayed from Hive’s body, and in an instant, shadow crows burst out and painted the surrounding sky black.

The command is simple.

“Find and kill”

“”Kahah!!! aaa!!!!”

Hundreds of crows dispersed in an instant, as if they were willing to do my bidding.

No matter how far away it is, there is no difficulty in controlling it as Hive has intermediate legs. Rather, even ordinary crows flying around have joined in and began to search for creatures equipped with bow ties.

After it spread, it took less than a minute to process 12 animals.

I hid that I was mingling with the common creatures and cleverly twisted my body or used a square to hide my tie, but the act of trying to hide something against a crow, who is a noble in finding shiny things in the first place, is arrogant.

“Crazy…”

“That, what the heck…?”

It was none other than the children of the lower class who were taken aback by that appearance. There were at most one or two creatures around them. The maximum number of people summoned was about 10.

Everyone’s eyes turned to me who summoned Hive. Some expressed envy, others awe, and others fear and futility.

“Nya, nya~ I didn’t even think of this… [Guild Raven], It’s been a while since I’ve seen it…”

Soria Mauni, who took the form of a cat, didn’t expect this, either, as she opened her eyes wide and tapped her tail on the podium. I approached the cat and said.

“How much should I catch? I’ve killed about 30 of them now.”

“Ah, ah… Originally, it shouldn’t be like this. The core of this mission was to develop the sensitivity to be able to control even when away from the summoned beast. I was going to hold the class as if I was going to secure it if one or two failed… But everything went wrong because of the cadets…”

The cat’s sharp gaze was directed at me. The pupil, which resembled a cat’s eye, was no different from that of a beast that found its prey.

“Cadets are connected in the first place, so there is no meaning. Are you cowardly? Are you cheating…!”

Inwardly, I admired those eyes that looked as if they were piercing through me.

‘Am I not a professor in form?’

Simply by looking at me and the hive, I figured it out. The cat licked my mouth with its tongue, blinked its eyes as if it had always done that, then returned to its meek appearance and pressed the jelly stamp on the back of my hand.

“…Still, success is success, so Cadet Jang Shin-woo passed! After all, you’re the S class summoner!”

Then it naturally jumped at me. I tried to pull my foot back because I got sick of the way he took accepting for granted.

Flinch!

However, the body stiffened as if caught by something, and as a result, it took on an awkward shape, as if holding a cat in its arms. I looked back and saw a black hand sticking out of the shadows and grabbing my leg.

What the f*ck is that? Since when have you been there?

Even though I could see the figure, I spread magic to detect it, but I couldn’t get a sense of its existence at all. Only then did I know that the object was using some kind of skill.

The infiltration system, or stealth, or something similar to that must have a skill.

If Growl had been there, he might have noticed it by smell or presence, but it’s meaningless to think about it after he’s already been caught.

“First of all, I ask you to remove those things because they interfere with the missions of the other cadets. Also, if you leave too quickly, Nya will lose face, so be Nya’s cat tower for an hour.”

“…Doesn’t you have the right to veto?”

“Is that okay?”

I felt goosebumps creeping up on me as he looked up at me with an innocent expression. For an instant, the strength of the hand that just grabbed her leg grew even stronger. It was as if he had a strong will to fill the hour by forcibly breaking his ankle if he refused.

Above all, that is not a cat tone, but a sincere question.

I had no choice but to give up. He summoned the Hive and retrieved the Shadow Crows at the same time. Perhaps even recognizing this as ‘surrender’, his stats rose in an instant, but when he intentionally turned off the skill, it quickly returned to its original state.

“Cow?”

“…Good job.”

I congratulated Hive, who came up to me and tilted her head at my strange state, for her hard work. The cat, who had been watching the hive carefully in my arms, suddenly opened its mouth.

“Nya-nya, every ministry with a high level of perfection. Isn’t it difficult?”

“Yes? Yes, I’m fine…Is something wrong?”

That tone, again. Why do Kang So-seon and Professor Lee ask if it is difficult to see a familiar? As far as I know, there are very few side effects that can be called side effects.

The first condition for making a familiar is difficult, but after that, it is a superior product with only advantages. It’s like a wine that gets better with age. That is the perception of my familiar.

The cat rolled his eyes and sighed, perhaps noticing the strangeness of my reaction.

“This is why geniuses…”

Who is calling someone a genius? In the first place, I’m unintentionally spending the second round of my life, so I’m a genius and I have nothing to do. It’s not like an adult against the storms of time, it’s an adult itself, and furthermore, it’s just that there’s a lot of knowledge.

Because I don’t intend to blow away all the facts knowing that, I made a fool of myself with a shameless expression.

“The concept is broken?”

“Noisy! Are you going to extend the last class at this point! Everyone listen carefully!”

Regardless of my will, my body moved quickly and arrived at the center where everyone was. Displeasure arose from the fact that the body was moved unintentionally. With the feeling of eating sh*t, I squeezed all the strength in my body, but strangely, my body did not collapse.

As the shadow shimmered, I stretched out my hand more as if I was embarrassed, and started to put more effort into fixing my body.

Ah, this is convenient. Good night. Very good. I think it would be very convenient to put them in the shadows one by one when it’s annoying later. It seems like you can use it in battle, so let’s be sure to know it. Since it’s Professor Lee’s summoned beast, you might be able to figure out its identity, right?

“Don’t use my summons comfortably!!”

“If I twisted it, would you loosen it?”

“Would you hug me properly if I let you go?”

“I’m going to throw it away.”

“Then don’t like it!!”

What the hell does this cat want to do? The facial expressions of the children around me were no different from mine. After confirming the reaction belatedly, I wrapped my arms around his head and started to say things like ‘nya nya… the dignity of a professor…’.

No, in the first place, isn’t it in a position to do something dignified or something with a tone like that? The cat, who seemed to have adapted to my annoyed expression, calmly ignored it and began to write on the blackboard with chalk.

“Nya-nya, remember last time I said that summoning is divided into two types?”

Tak-tak-tak.

On the blackboard, round circles were drawn overlapping each other, with the contract written on one side and the ministry written on the other.

“Contract Summoning literally creates a link between souls through the medium of a contract. The work of the other side is what is called taming? You literally make things that have no relationship work as summoned beasts by connecting the passages of the soul step by step from the beginning!”

So it takes a long time. But that explanation made me question it.

Wouldn’t the remaining problems be solved if I spent that time building a familiar? But I didn’t bother putting it in my mouth. I thought I could solve this question by listening to that explanation.

“But is there a way to overlap in the middle? Is it similar to a contract, but at the same time a summons that is also a ministry? That’s the”

Knock knock.

In the center of the intersecting circles, I wrote the word Consciousness.

“Is it a ritual summoning?”

With those words, I immediately realized that it was a summoning to create a familiar. A summoning that is similar to a contract, but is also a ministry. It is literally the creation of a familiar.

“Is Ritual Summoning literally creating your own familiar through a ritual? This body is like that, and the crow that Cadet Jang Shin-woo saw earlier is like that.”

The cat, who shrugged while touching his body, suddenly made a calm expression and then calmly opened his mouth.

“Ah, just for reference, I recommend not recklessly trying. Could it be possible to become a vegetative person right away because your soul is ripped apart after trying it awkwardly? If you succeed in the ritual while being extremely self-conscious or unsure of yourself, your created familiar and ego may mix and become a monster, so you need to be careful.”

At those words, the faces of the cadets, who had the same thoughts as me, turned pale.

“The dangerous part of the ritual is that it cuts the soul into pieces and puts them back together. In the process, people who cannot clearly separate and recall their familiar form from their familiars will fail in their rituals and become crippled for the rest of their lives.”

It is a very risky task. But that’s it, there’s nothing that a person with a decent mind can’t do.

“Above all, the process was extremely painful. In the middle of the pain that felt like my whole body was being torn apart and burned, I had to think about my familiar. After that, you have to think about yourself as a whole while enduring the feeling of being mixed with other things and then coming back together.”

For this reason, even if the ritual is successful, there are people who suffer from phantom pain for the rest of their lives. When I emphasized the danger with such an example, the atmosphere in the classroom cooled.

“…Anything else?”

“Is this all? It is said that some people feel the pain of that time again when summoning their familiars, but it seems that the cadets are so confident in themselves that there are no aftereffects. I wonder why such a thing is possible at such a young age.”

What is it? Was it just to scare me with that? I also knew there were side effects I didn’t know about.

“Nya-nya… It’s strange that you don’t take it seriously as if it’s no big deal to tear your soul apart and put it back together. Does the cadet have a strange head? Maybe he’s already gone crazy because he’s been hit on the head.”

“Don’t treat normal people as idiots.”

“Look at this! Aren’t you arguing against the sky-like professor!!”

That’s because you look easygoing. If you don’t speak there, nothing will be conveyed. I never want to become a Hogu who just listens to the story and does it.

I sighed. Looking at the results, it’s just useless worry. Did you say you were going to leave something like this?

I hope that if you search for it, you will find related information.

The reason why I chose to roll at the academy was because I had an appointment with the dean, but also because there was information I could only get from the teachers working here.

It’s a world where armed force becomes a specification, so if you try to dig a little deeper, the information will be censored, saying it’s limited information. There is a risk of being abused or something.

I refused my vocation and chose a job called a summoner, and no matter how hard I tried to get related information, most of the official information was basic, and most of the rest was only cerebral.

No matter how much I am, I can’t distinguish fake information from real information. I’m trying to collect information first because I have no experience in the first place, but there is no answer to this.

Of course, that’s right for those who don’t have skills or are vaguely talented.

Of course, the process of making a familiar is very painful, but it’s not unbearable if you keep your mind straight.

If we make a mistake and fail, we will lose valuable human resources, so we are just trying to scare people.

The reason for the intense censorship of information is that there are concerns about the villain, but it must mean that there were so many idiots who took on the challenge without making any preparations.

I understand. Even though I have lived in this world for more than 10 years, I still can’t adapt. How difficult it must be for those who have lived in this world from the beginning.

It’s just that I can’t sympathize with how difficult it is. As long as you are prepared, the results are guaranteed. Then the rest is all about faith and confidence.

It is a natural law that if you are confident in yourself and have skills, you will do everything well and stand out. Even if you try to hide it, it will inevitably come out.

As for this incident, let’s just say that I diligently dug into the basics.

‘But I’ve already filled one.’

There is already only one left to reach the goal of two. I heard a definite answer that if you stay like this for an hour, you will be released, so let’s think about what to do for the next class.

Wouldn’t it be better to go to Mamulology, which is helpful in filling out the encyclopedia? No. It would be better to compare both and choose the one that can fill the second one a little faster.

As I listened in one ear to the nagging of the cat who was eagerly explaining in my arms, I sincerely hoped that this terrible time would end as soon as possible.
