Book 2: Chapter 9: Spiritcon, Hot Dog, Quitting School

Volume 2 Chapter 9 Spiritcon, Hot Dog, Quitting School

The summoning ceremony had officially begun. All the freshmen in school started reciting their summoning verses, and paid full attention to their surroundings so that they could summon spirits that they would be truly compatible with.

As for how long the summoning took, that was indefinite because the spirit population was about the same, or maybe even more than the human population, so it was no easy task to find a compatible spirit among the spirit populace. Of course, to save some trouble, one could always just head to a spirit shop and buy a spirit straight from the store. But if a summoner were to do that, the relationship and the compatibility between the summoner and the spirit wouldnt be quite the same, as it would be from a summoning. After all, spirits sold in a spirit shop were captured, so, at least to some degree, it would only be natural for them to be fearful of humans. Because of this, ninety-nine percent of summoners would get their very first spirits via summoning.

Since I already have Silent Water, I obviously didnt pay much attention to the whole summoning thing Alright, actually, it had more to do with the fact that I couldnt summon any spirits. It was quite clearly stated in our reference books that the lower level spirits, in order for them to avoid being hunted, would still pick appropriate masters for themselves, as per their own levels. So, a summoner shouldnt be without any spirit, simply because he had lower amount of spiritual energy So why then? Why was it that when it came to summoning spirits, I just couldnt do it? I let out a sigh of resignation, and gave up on trying to summon any spirits altogether.

So while my classmates were busy focusing on summoning their own spirits, I took this opportunity to chat with Freed and Yalide to pass the time.

Soon enough, one of the boys shouted, It came! It came! My spirit!

Everyone looked towards where the commotion was: A boy was shouting excitedly at a small, gray squirrel that stood in the middle of a glowing magical circle.

However, when the boy found out that the squirrel was of the earth type, his excitement cooled. The reason was because its attribute was an earth type.

The boys reaction was quite common. Spirits of the same species could be of different types of attributes: wind, fire, water, lightning, wood, earth, metal, fog, or poison. Of all the different types of attributes, earth and wood had the lowest rankings among the elements. That was because people didnt think that these two types of attributes were very effective during battles.

But, to me, the type of attribute a spirit possessed wasnt that big of a concern; it was ones own spirit after all.

The little earth elemental squirrel belonged to the lowest class, and when it saw its master, it ran frantically towards him. I could see that boys expression freeze at that moment. But, after a short while, he was moved by the little guys adorableness and formed a contract with it.

That boys contract marked the beginning of the actual summoning. Soon after, many more people summoned all manners of spirits, with all different types of attributes. Satsuki, that girl, even summoned a middle class fiery lion; it was no small wonder that she ranked eighth among the freshmen that was really something!

That bum, Yamada, managed to summon a low class boxing kangaroo spirit with a wind type attribute. Wind type spirits had great speed, they could augment their masters movement speed and increase their masters attack speed. To a battle technician like Yamada, a wind type spirit was the optimal choice.

Speaking of, there was also my fiance, Kamiki Kuji. Since the day we had that conversation about the deal behind our relationship, I kept getting the feeling that she had been watching Satsuki and I closely, and her glare was constantly intensifying. Even when it was Satsuki who came over and leaned on me, in her mind she probably interpreted it as though it was me who was keen on Satsuki, and at the same time, wanted to marry her, the beautiful fiance, right?

Anyway, Kamiki summoned a middle class monkey spirit, with a wind type attribute, which was completely different than the magic she wielded (fog and poison).

When I saw this, I was both astonished and sympathetic. This was because most of the time, summoned spirits would be of similar or complementary types to the summoners magic; only in very rare cases could people summon spirits with attributes contrary to their own magical abilities. I guess Kamiki was one among those very rare cases; that was indeed very unfortunate.

Kid, what are you talking about? Fog and poison, they benefit the most from wind type spirits.

What do you mean by this? Um Wait a second, fog and poison? Wind could change the direction of fog, and spread the poison so it does seem like this combination is actually the most complimentary.

Thats right, this actually is the best combination; what you people called the unfortunate few were just people who havent discovered the effectiveness of their own spirits.

Freed, you are really amazing! But, are you really a high and mighty dragon god? How could you know so much? I thought Freeds knowledge on spirit was astounding.

This, let me tell you! This, I have to tell you! Yalide just wouldnt stop yelling.

Shush you, and go take a nap or something. Stop interrupting our conversation, you perverted dragon.

I have to say it. Yalide was rarely this calm could it be that Freed really had some secret that he couldnt tell people?

Kid, dont overthink this, dont overthink this. Lets stop this conversation now; we can talk some other day.

Listen up, you, stinking brat! You and this white dragon were talking about me all day, about how lecherous I was, werent you? Well, okay, Ill admit it; I really do appreciate sexy, beautiful female humans; of course, I also like beautiful female dragons. But, do you know, that Freed, he even

You, shut your mouth!!!

He actually likes spirits! He is a bona fide Spiritcon!!! It doesnt matter to him if the spirit is big, or small; young, or old; male, or female, so long as it is a spirit, hes obsessed with it. There was this one time, I heard him order

Stop it, stop it! Lets not talk about the past!!!

How come Freed was behaving just like Yalide right there? Could it really be true that he was a Spiritcon? But, this shouldnt matter, right? Being a dragon god, shouldnt it be pretty normal to care deeply about spirits?

Right, right, right, right you are, kid; it was totally worth it for me to help you through hell and high water.

Brat! Why? Why? Why cant you wait till I am finished before you draw your conclusion? Why is it that you can think so highly of Freed and so poorly of me? Lets just think about this for a moment: those are spirits we are talking about; never mind the age gap, just from body size differences alone Wait, this would be like a grown man with a little loli!!! Oh, hurry up and think better of me too. Since I am a dragon god, isnt it normal for me to like sexy, beautiful, female humans?

Why dont you listen to yourself and take your own advice? Never mind the age gap, just from body size differences alone are you really in a position to talk about Freed? It is really difficult for me think any better of you, Yalide, considering your obsession with beautiful female humans. Besides you really are lewd if you were a human, my bet is that you would have been a wanted rapist by now

Thats right! You are fantastic, kid! How fortunate am I to be able to inhabit your body? I now solemnly take back all the things I said about you being stupid!

Errr thank you? Ahem, Spirit-obsessing-Freed? Dont you get any funny ideas towards Silent Water.

Kid, like you said, I am a dragon god; my concern towards spirits is based purely out of love! Love, dont you understand? It is completely different than Yalide, whose feelings towards female humans are filled with lewd thoughts

I wonder just who it was that routinely ordered those spirits to call himself My Lord Dragon God! You pervert!!! Yalide became angry.

I Freed became speechless.

This I was stunned, I couldnt believe that Freed

Actually Just when I was about to defend Freed, someone shoved me.

When I turned around, I saw Satsuki; for some reasons, her alluring eyes were looking at me with sympathy.

Lin Xiang, dont give up, keep going, you can do it, your spirit will come, for sure. She comforted me gently.

When I zoned out in my conversation with Freed, it must have appeared to her as though I was down in the dumps because I couldnt summon any spirits?

If it was before, I might have been really depressed about it. But! I had already formed a contract with Silent Water, and she was a king class level spirit to boot! King class! How could I possibly be depressed?

Of course, I couldnt tell Satsuki all these exciting news. So I simply smiled and said, Nothing to worry about, Satsuki. Actually, my summoned spirit said that it was expecting guests at home today, so it couldnt make it here; thats why its a no-show.

Lin Xiang Satsukis alluring eyes started to mist up. I really didnt understand this girl; clearly, it was me, not her, who couldnt summon any spirits, so why on earth was she crying? It made me agitated.

Dont cry, dont cry, please, I beg you, my dear Miss Satsuki. Please, please, please dont cry! Oh, wheres your spirit? Wow, isnt it too big? It isnt a dog, is it? Wait, what, a lion? And how could this possibly be? It has a fiery tail and its burning hot.

Its a fire type spirit, so of course theres fire; besides, when have you ever seen a normal dog all fiery and burning hot?

HOT DOG.

Pfff~~~ Satsuki laughed and cracked a beautiful smile.

Thats right, you should smile more; the more you smile, the prettier you look. Here, let me pat your spirit Wow!!! Amazing! Can I ride it, like a horse? It wont take a bite out of me, right

Classroom

Well, with the exception of a certain individual, the Spirit Summoning this time around has been quite successful. The homeroom teacher glared at me when he mentioned a certain individual.

Needless to say, all the students in class, except for me, had all successfully formed contracts with spirits. This was on par with everyones expectations.

As for that certain individual, I didnt have high hopes, and I certainly didnt expect him to summon an amazing spirit. HOWEVER, to not even able to summon a single spirit?! Is this a joke?! Since the schools founding a hundred years ago, the school had overcome many difficulties and challenges, but never in the schools history had the school encountered such a sorry excuse of a student who couldnt even summon a single spirit. Well, then, Mr. Incompetent! Stand up, please! Please, explain yourself to your classmates, and to me, the reason WHY you couldnt summon even ONE SINGLE spirit!!! The homeroom teacher sounded real agitated. It looked like he was truly angry. Well, to be fair, having a student not being able to summon a single spirit, this had to be a first for the school.

Helplessly, I stood up, and said nothing. What could I possibly say? I wasnt in my best condition? I didnt have enough time? Or maybe I could say something along the line: since I have already formed a contract with a king class spirit, those other inferior spirits are beneath me, and let everyone laugh at my silly jokes?

Silence is golden. Besides, this homeroom teacher never did like me and I couldnt care less, so I let him yell at me and just chatted with Freed and Yalide to while the time away.

What should we have for dinner tonight? To celebrate Silent Water and I forming a contract, I am going to make something.

Make whatever you like. After all, you are the one who would be eating it.

How about getting some books? Yalide suggested.

Books? Since when did he start to enjoy reading books?

Since when I first saw the book called The H Lifestyle between My Master and I! The girl on the cover was so beautiful, so sexy! I fell in love the moment I laid eyes on her.

Argh kid, how about we chat about what we are going to do for dinner? How about silver carp?

Thats is a pain to make, how about salmon?

Hmm, thats not bad. How about another dish too, like steak? The lowest class spirit should like steak.

Thats not a bad idea.

Hey!!! Dont you dare ignore me! Want the book!!! I wanna read it!!!

So! Mr. Incompetent! You understand me now? When I turned around, the homeroom teacher just finished with his lecture, and the clock in class showed that ten minutes had passed. After his long speech, other than the fact that his hair was a bit messier than usual, he wasnt even short of breath or red in the face

I understand! What sensei said was right! The moment I said it, Satsuki looked at me all nervous like.

Whats going on?

Oh? Youve grew a conscience as a useless piece of garbage? Or perhaps youve finally realized that you are incompetent and have decided to quit school? Since you are not completely unrepentant, I will help you with the preparation for quitting school.

Oi, oi, oi, what just happened? Quitting school?

Sensei, I.

I understand that right now, you are quite burdened by your guilty conscience. Thats why, I have decided to go to the headmasters office with you. Youre my student, after all!!! This homeroom teacher, whatever his name was, Youtaku, or Yousetsu, he sounded like he was really sympathetic but he could barely hide the excitement on his face. Look, you could even see his lips curling up a bit, I am pretty sure he was smirking!
