Volume 2 Chapter 18: Summoning Magic
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Today was a school day.
Recently, Cain had been absent a lot due to various reasons, but now he was finally able to go to school normally.
“Morning Cain-kun.”
“Cain-sama, good morning.”
“Teles, Silk, morning.”
The usual members of the team greeted each other in the morning.
“Cain-sama, today’s afternoon class is the noble’s course so we can finally take a specialized course together.”
Telestia was pleased to be in the same class the of specialized course of this subject as him.
“I’m going to be there too~. Cain-kun, wasn’t this morning’s class the magic course?”
“Yeah… maybe I’ll go and study again…”
“I would like to see Cain-sama’s attack magic…”
Entering a world of delusions, Telestia started imagining Cain’s heroic figure.
“My dad also said that if Cain-kun unleashes his magic, he’ll have to pay to repair the school again, so please stop! I heard the repair costs from what happened at the entrance exam amounted to ten platinum coins.”
“…”
When he heard about the repair costs, Cain became a bit depressed.
At the school, there were four classes in the morning, the first two being basic courses, and the remaining two classes and the two afternoon classes being specialized courses.
Once the basic classes was over, and it was time for magic class.
Students were starting to gather at the training ground.
“Is Cain von Silford here today?”
Melissa, the teacher in charge of the magic classes, called out to Cain.
“Cain, present… am I studying by myself today?”
“Today I’m going to be talking about summoning magic, so there’s no problem.”
“Thank you!”
Cain replied with a big smile at Melissa’s answer.
“Then, I will start the class. Today we will be studying summoning magic, although I am no specialist. So I called a teacher who specializes in summoning magic. Mr. Glatt, if you would be so kind.”
Guided in by Melissa, a robed man appeared.
“I’m Glatt, and I specialize in summoning magic. I usually work as a court magician. Today I’ll teach you about summoning magic. First of all, there are two types of summoning magic; when you and a magical beast form a mutual contract, and when you call one forth from a magic circle using your magic power.”
As the court magician continued teaching, the students listened attentively.
Of course, Cain also listened seriously. He had made mutual contracts with Haku and Gin, but this was the first time he’d heard about summoning using a magic circle.
“When summoning from a magic circle, if you don’t get along with each other and don’t form a contract, the summon will disappear. If you put in magic power, you might be able to summon something. Now, line up and give it a go.”
“Ah, Cain’s dangerous, so he’s going last!”
Melissa added her own opinion.
The students each received a piece of paper with a magic circle on it from Mr. Glatt and started practising summoning magic. Due to not having a lot of magic power, most monsters that were called forth were often about the size of small animals. Students with a little more magic power even managed to call forth wolf- or bear-type monsters too.
Even then, less than half were able to make a contract. It seems that their magic power was insufficient.
“Alright, and last off, Cain, you’re up.”
Finally, Cain’s turn came.
“Alright then, put some magic power into this magic circle on the paper here. You should be able to summon as strong a monster as long as you do so.”
The unsuspecting Glatt told Cain to inject as much magic power as he pleased.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what comes out. It would be nice if Haku and Gin had other friends to play with.”
The other students waited a little further away, only Glatt stayed nearby.
Placing the paper with the magic circle in the center of the training ground, Cain began putting his magic power into it.
Cain’s magic power had greatly increased due to his training in Fabinir.
The magic circle kept on sucking in magic power, and Cain kept on sending it more.
At that moment, the magic circle, which had been as big as the piece of paper, appeared on the ground.
It was now a magic circle 10 meters in size.
“Th-This is…”
The unsuspecting Mr. Glatt was surprised.
A man had appeared from the magic circle. He looked like a two meter tall human, except for three horns which were sprouting from his forehead. Both his appearance and the cloak he was wearing were gorgeous.
“Hmm? Where am I? You humans… how come… you can call me forth? I, as a Demon King–“
“Stoooooop!!!”
“Hmm?”
Cain chanted magic in an instant.
[Flash Bullet(F l a s h)]
The whole area was covered in white.
The teacher and students were instantly covered in an overwhelming light and lost their sight.
“”””””Aaaaah my eyes! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah””””””
Cain started talking to the person who came out of the magic circle, leaving the teacher and students in agony.
“Why did a Demon King come out!!!!”
“Mmm, so you called me… a mere human being…”
At that moment, the Demon King saw them. Appraisal’s results of Cain.
The Demon King started sweating cold at the overwhelming amount of Titles and Blessings in Cain’s invisible status.
The Demon King immediately prostrated himself in front of Cain.
“I’m terribly sorry for being so rude… please don’t kill me. I’ll gladly serve under you.”
“Uhh…”
The Demon King continued to the surprised Cain.
“Of course, I will gladly form a summoning contract. If Cain-sama told me to, I would even destroy the whole country.”
“Now wait just a minute. How did this happen?”
“Cain-sama, I have a name, so I can sign the contract. My name is Seto.”
“Ah… okay… gotcha…”
Caught up in Seto’s furor, Cain signed the contract.
“Thank you very much Cain-sama. Feel free to call on me if you need anything.”
With that said, Seto bowed to Cain and disappeared.
The surrounding teachers’ and students’ vision gradually returned.
“Cain-kun what did you summon!? Earlier, he said something about a Demon King…”
Mr. Glatt approached Cain.
“N-no, y-you’ve got it wrong… I couldn’t sign the contract, so I asked him to go home.”
Cain replied, scratching his head.
“”…””
Cain and Glatt stared silently at each other.
“Yeah… let’s just go with that…”
Mr. Glatt was thinking hard with his hand on his chin.
“Cain-kun, huh. If you ever need anything, you can come to my place at the royal castle.”
After saying so, he returned to the students.
“Then, we’ll leave today’s classes off here.”
“Phew. I think I got away with it…”
Cain reassured himself.
Then it was lunchtime and they headed to the cafeteria.
After the class was over, Glatt immediately headed for the royal castle. In a hurry.
He was headed to Prime Minister Magna’s place.
“Prime Minister Magna, is now a good time?”
“Oh, Glatt-dono1, what happened? I’m a bit busy right now.”
Prime Minister Magna noticed Glatt’s impatience, so he stopped his work once, and sat down on the sofa.
“Well, you see, the thing is, I was teaching summoning magic in class at the school today…”
Suddenly, the Prime Minister felt a sense of foreboding.
“Was it perhaps… Cain von Silford?”
“Eh!? How’d you know that!?”
“Glatt-dono, we’re going to go see His Majesty, please follow me.”
Glatt, who was unsure what was going on, was taken to His Majesty’s reception room by Prime Minister Magna.
“Do sit down, Glatt-dono. I will call His Majesty.”
And just like that, Prime Minister Magna left the room.
Then, a few minutes later, His Majesty, Prime Minister Magna, and Duke Eric were sitting side by side in the room.
It was His Majesty who opened his mouth first.
“That Cain guy, what’d he do this time!?”
Upset by suddenly being surrounded by His Majesty and an upper-class noble, Glatt began to explain.
“Well, I was teaching a class about summoning magic, which I specialize in. And then, you see, Cain-kun was the last one to try out the summoning magic…”
“”Cain(-kun) and summoning magic…””
“… Summoning magic… Cain and summoning magic… What did he summon? A dragon!?”
“No… definitely not…”
“Oh, it wasn’t a dragon, huh…”
Rex was relieved that it wasn’t a dragon.
“Well, you see… it was probably… a Demon King or something…”
Glatt spoke what was on his mind.
“””Wh-!!!!!! Whoah!!!!”””
The three people exhaled vigorously.
“”De- De- De- Demon King, you say!?””
Rex and Magna were so surprised they could hardly breathe.
“Cain-kun, now that’s what I’m talking about~. I was expecting something crazy, but that surprised even me.”
Eric laughed while holding his stomach at the event that was outside his expectations.
“Glatt-dono, can you please explain from the beginning…”
Then Glatt explained what happened during class that day.
A magic circle about 10 meters in size appeared on the ground, and a demon with three horns appeared from it. He was dressed like a noble and called himself a “Demon King.” At that moment, a ball of light appeared and everyone lost their sight. By the time our field of vision had returned, that “Demon King”-like being wasn’t there anymore. When I asked Cain, he answered, “I couldn’t sign the contract, so it disappeared.”
“”…””
“That guy… You’re forbidden to speak of what happened today. You got that, Glatt?”
Dragged along by His Majesty’s momentum, Glatt had no choice but to nod.
“Should I send for him once school’s finished?”
Rex immediately answered the Prime Minister’s question.
“Of course!!! Go catch him when you go to pick Telestia up!!!”
While Cain was busy enjoying his lunch, his summons to the royal palace had already been decided upon.
