In the Garden of Hope, summoning has been an elective subject since the third year. If you want to succeed in this rather unpopular spell, you must have super talent and character, of course, you can't take money to pile up a very material summoner. However, compared to other disciplines, summoning is a bit weak in the middle stage, and even more useless in the later stage if you don't get a powerful summoned creature, so there are fewer and fewer people practicing it in modern times.

It is not an exaggeration to say that summoning has declined.

As the only teacher in the Garden of Hope to teach summoning, Susan had thought so until two and a half years ago when she saw Alicia among the many energetic and curious freshmen who had just entered the school and were first introduced to summoning.

The creator god can testify that this alluring blonde Lori has amazing talent. Not long after learning to sign the contract, she abducted Oh no, and subdued a minor little black dragon, not to mention, at the second-year demon summoning ceremony, she even made a noble angel as her own demon. Susan was happy for Alicia, but at the same time she was a little uneasy.

In the unlikely event that Alicia decides to take summoning in her third year, Susan worries about her ability to continue teaching this peerless genius.

However, this girl's talent is not only manifested in her magical talent, she has achieved a brilliant record of making all the military strategists in the continent lie on the ground to find the fragments of glasses with the incredible aerial warship she has secretly developed, and she has successfully turned over and unified the whole of Birea with the power of a single province. became the youngest queen in the history of the continent.

Since then, Alicia's free time has decreased considerably, and summoning as an elective has been abandoned. While making Susan breathe a sigh of relief. I can't help but feel very sorry.

Fortunately, Susan also has another gifted student, Vacis, whose talent is not as exaggerated and extraordinarily extravagant as Alicia's, but she is also a rare good seedling. After Vachisy decided to take the summoning technique, Susan planned to do everything she could to train this weak soft girl to become a powerful summoner, so that she could regain the glory of the summoners who once fought demons in the land of despair.

The battle against the Protoss at the beginning of this year was an absolute disaster, and it not only completely destroyed the beautiful image of the Protoss that the old Holy See had instilled in the world for a long time. It also delayed the opening of the Garden of Hope by a whole month. Countless teachers' teaching plans have been disrupted in this way, and Susan is no exception.

As usual, at the end of last semester, Susan was going to arrange for Vacis to connect with the powerful creatures of the Void. And try to summon them. But in the end, it had to be canceled and set for the second half of the semester.

Although Susan was worried that after a two-month summer vacation, Vacis's skills would become unfamiliar, but it was evident from yesterday's lesson that the little girl was still working hard, not only did not regress, but became more and more refined. So Susan immediately decided to have Varges perform a real summoning ritual today. And the girl also arrived at the summoning tower after school on time.

But until then......

"Alicia. My dear students. Why did you come here with the others?" asked Susan, looking at the big ticket in front of her, the corners of her mouth twitching.

"Please don't care, Miss Susan. Alicia waved her hands and smiled nonchalantly, "We only came to cheer for Varges in name, but in fact we came here to watch. ”

Michelle, a good baby next to her who was saluting Susan in an orderly manner, was shocked when she heard this: "Woo woo!?

"Although I would like to deny ......," Chassi said with his head hanging and raising his forehead with his hand, "but in a sense, Alicia is not wrong at all. ”

Electives aren't strict with students, so Susan is not surprised by the occasional couple who comes to class as an excuse to run into the summoning tower to avoid being pursued by the FFF group. But it was the first time she had seen someone like Alicia blatantly barge in on the pretext of being a bystander.

But that didn't affect Susan's booking.

After entering the Summoning Tower, the members of the Soy Sauce Clan looked around curiously.

It's obvious. It's very different from the Mage's Tower. There were no graffiti-like magic circles carved into the walls of the mentally ill, and there was no magic in the air that was so thick that it almost condensed into substance. There was not a broom on the steps that would sweep the floor by itself and, if necessary, cling to the fat man under his master's skirt to perform the Flying Magic, instead, the walls were carved with various constellations and strange creatures, presumably to help visitors recognize and understand the void creatures - provided that the other party had some basic knowledge, otherwise they would not understand anything at all, like Elija and them.

Walking around the long spiraling staircase, the group was led by Susan to the hall on the second floor. This is where Susan teaches her students summoning, and a silent enchantment is deliberately applied to avoid outside interference. The bright sunlight shines evenly through the windows on the floor engraved with the stars and moons, and there are several bonsai plants in the corners, and the copper stove on the mahogany table in the center is lit with some kind of fragrant herbs, which looks quiet and pleasant.

"Wow, this is a great place to dive your spirit into the void. Alicia sighed as she looked around, "But it also shows that dealing with those weird-tempered guys is a dangerous thing to do, and there is no room for distraction." ”

Susan smiled and nodded, a look of relief on her face, "You're right, my dear. It seems that you have not forgotten the knowledge I passed on to you. ”

"Well, after all, I'm interested in summoning too. Alicia waved her hand and looked at Varkis, clenching her fists and cheering her up, "Come on, Varcis." Let's see what you're really capable of, and try to summon a Godzilla out!"

You're not afraid that people will knock this tower down!

Although it was not clear what kind of existence Godzilla was, listening to Alicia's tone, it should be some kind of very powerful creature, Varges couldn't help but take a deep breath when she heard this, and nodded seriously: "Hmm." I'll try!"

After the teachers and students were seated, everyone also sat down on the chairs by the wall and watched them quietly.

Susan didn't take the handout. Nor was she asked to turn the pages of the textbook to as many pages as she could. She just sprinkled some crushed herbs into the copper stove on the wooden table, making the wonderful aroma even stronger, and then said leisurely: "Vazisi, I have taught you all the knowledge you should know, and it seems that you have been practicing it all during the summer vacation. Be confident, kid. As long as you succeed here, you'll be a qualified summoner from now on. Don't be nervous, I'll be there when you call. And you see, so many friends came to watch...... I mean, come and cheer you on. So you're not going to let them down, are you?"

"Yes, teacher. I'm ready. Varges replied lightly with her hand on her chest.

Seeing this, Susan nodded her head quietly. Casually raising his hand, the star-moon pattern on the floor immediately glowed with a brilliant cyan blue light.

"I'm dizzy, this is actually a magic array!?" Cecilia couldn't help but exclaim, "Which god carved it in the first place?"

Sophia maintained an elegant appearance and slapped the folding fan on her head lightly: "Silence!"

At the same time as the magic circle is activated. Vargeth slowly closed her eyes and entered a meditative state. Susan took a few steps forward to the girl, stretched out her hand and stroked her shoulder, and whispered dreamily, "Yes." I think you've come to the same old place as usual. But if you want to get a powerful minion, you have to go ahead and break through yourself, or you'll be mediocre forever. My dear student, I am well aware of your potential, and you are definitely not a mediocre person. Believe in yourself and move forward bravely. ”

Vacis's brow furrowed slightly, and the expression on her face became a little bitter - she was trying to make her way through the void at Susan's orders.

"Good, you're doing a great job. Susan complimented the girl as she stroked the top of her head. "Now tell me, what did you see?"

"Hmm--multicolored tunnels. There are also a lot of nice little spots. Vacis replied in the same vein.

Susan couldn't help but smile very happily when she heard this, "Most of the creatures in this field are very practical and very good choices. But Vacis, I think your potential should be more than that, and it would be a shame to end it like this. But the final decision is yours. How's that, do you think you can move on?"

"Yes!"

The girl's brow furrowed even tighter, beads of sweat the size of a bean were dripping down her forehead, and she gritted her teeth hard and let out a muffled grunt of pain from her nose, apparently trying to cross her limits.

[Oh no, she can't hold on anymore!]

Alicia realized that the situation was wrong, and Susan hurriedly pressed the top of Varkis's head and said, "Enough Varcis, don't be too reluctant, come back." ”

Despite receiving instructions from her teacher, the stubborn girl gritted her silver teeth and refused to give up. This time her whole body trembled violently, and the chair creaked.

"Come back quickly, if you continue like this, you will probably hurt yourself and even endanger your life!" Susan looked a little panicked, but her instructions were methodical. But just as she was about to continue talking, Susan's movements were completely interrupted by a sudden and unexpected event.

I saw Alicia suddenly stand up from her chair, put her hands to her lips and make a trumpet and shouted, "Come on, Varcis!

When a summoner probes his spirit into the void, casually shouting from the side can easily affect the other party, and even cause irreparable disaster. Cheering up athletes like Alicia as if she were standing on the playground is absolutely unprecedented. Sophia, who was looking at Little Lori in a daze, couldn't help but be so shocked that even the fan in her hand slipped off on the spot.

Susan, who was so frightened, was about to stop it, but Michelle didn't want to stand up and shout, "Yes, you can do it." Come on, Vachis!"

Imrith, Cecilia, and Chassi then shouted loudly. During this time, Ilya also wanted to join, but he was immediately squashed to the ground by a nearby mercury lamp.

Your friends are going to die like this!!" Susan smiled wryly and looked back at Vachis, who suddenly had an excited expression on her face. After gritting his teeth and snorting hard, his whole body suddenly relaxed. Despite the horribly pale face and the sweat drenched in her uniform, Susan knew. The girl in front of her succeeded.

"Vargeth, my dear. You don't care, do you?" Since Vasis still hadn't quit meditation, Susan didn't dare to flip the girl's body casually, so she could only ask anxiously, "Has your mental power been damaged?"

"It's okay anymore, teacher. Alicia's voice did reach me, and it was because of that I was able to muster up the courage to endure it. ”

Susan turned her head and glanced at her most proud student. I couldn't help but shake my head with a smile: "I really don't know what to say about you little girls." Anyway, Vacis, congratulations on pushing your boundaries. Tell me. What do you see now?"

"I looked—there were many storm-like streams of energy all around, with a few colorful spots the size of grains of rice in between. ”

Susan was so surprised that she almost fainted, and she hurriedly said, "Well, although it is a little dangerous. But you still have to set aside some of your mental power to actively contact those small points of light. It's nothing. Compared to the breakthrough just now, this danger is not even a drizzle. But you still have to be careful. ”

Vaqis didn't reply, presumably concentrating on trying to reach the points of light that swayed from side to side in the energy stream. Everyone in the room held their breath for fear of affecting her, and Imrith couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, the girl let out a long breath and relaxed again, "Teacher Susan, I have already made contact with a certain creature. ”

When Susan heard this, she also put the heart that mentioned her throat back into her stomach, gently stroked her chest and pressed the girl's shoulder and said, "Very good." Vasis. How do you communicate with each other?"

Vacis suddenly became confused: "That, the other party doesn't seem to be able to speak." It just passed on its thoughts directly to me. ”

"Can't speak?" Even Susan couldn't help but be puzzled. "The vast majority of creatures of this level already possess intelligence no less than that of humans, and some are even more intelligent. I haven't heard of it if I can't speak. My dear student, what message did they convey to you?"

"It's big, with a long tail and hard scales, and it loves to eat fish, burrow, and swim......"

Alicia, who was dripping in a cold sweat, hurriedly interrupted: "Teacher Susan, hurry up and tell Varges to change her partner." ”

"What's the matter, Alicia, do you know what that creature is?"

"Pretty much. I promise that if Vakisis does summon that guy, the Garden of Hope will be in ruins in less than ten minutes. Little Lori, who covered her forehead, said with a wry smile.

[Your sister, it's really Godzilla, hey!!, but it sounds like the Hollywood version of the United States, and if you really want to make it up, Icarus and they should be able to solve it......]

Following Susan and Elicia's advice, Vacis finally gave up on the creature that seemed unable to communicate with her, and after a long silence, she spoke again, "Teacher Susan, I have contacted a second creature. ”

This girl is getting more and more proficient. Susan nodded quietly and asked carefully, "Then the other party can always speak this time, right?"

"Uh-huh, wait for me to ask. "The other party is a female, not very large, but not very powerful, has a lot of experience in fighting the strong, has a strong body, is extremely resistant to blows, and has a certain degree of regeneration." ”

Susan couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this: "I think it should be ideal, not to mention that she happens to be a female, so it's just right for you to be a little girl with a phobia of men." But as I said before, the final decision is yours. What are you going to do, my dear student?"

After thinking about it for a moment, the magic circle on the floor suddenly shone brightly, and strong magical fluctuations blew through everything in the room like a hurricane. When everything calmed down, everyone noticed that a ...... appeared in front of the brown-haired girl

Teenage Lori?

Sophia, who rubbed her eyes vigorously to make sure that she didn't look at the flowers, had a five-thunderous expression on her face: "Na, I said." That's a lori, right?"

Alicia replied casually, "Don't worry, you're not mistaken. It's better to say that after making such a big noise, I really want to get out of the magic array with a strange-looking alien queen, and this kind of plot work can't find a market today, so it's absolutely 100% a cute girl!"

"Is you the one who signed the summoning contract with us?" Lori, who was standing and was only as tall as Vaqisi sitting on the chair, stepped forward and stared at the girl who had just opened her eyes and asked proudly, her strong aura could be clearly felt from afar, "It doesn't look like a very powerful guy." ”

“...... yes, I'm sorry, I'm just a novice summoner. ”

The personalities of these two people are also a perfect match!

――――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line――――――――――――――――

The annual college entrance examination is coming, and I would like to use this chapter to wish all the younger candidates and friends can be like Vacis, an ordinary but strong girl, to persevere bravely in the most difficult times, and finally successfully break through their boundaries and turn a new page in their lives.

Good luck to all. (To be continued.) )
