Chapter 5.Welcome to the summoners school.(6)

Theres a lot.

Indeed, theres a lot.

Too much, infact.

Over eight hundred applications were sent in.

Normally, Mercaria takes intwo thousand, andArcia takes ina thousand andtwo hundred. Seeing thatMarcia andYugrasia normally takes inaround three hundred to four hundred students, this was a big change. It was also about eight times the amount of students I wanted to get.

As expected, the pirate king was an amazing man! I just slightly changed the quote from the beginning of this one manga, andbam! People evenstarted calling this the beginning of the [Great Summoners Era]. Now, ifsomeone comes inclaiming thathed become the summoner king, everything would be perfect!

No

This is all just extra work. Stop applying Theyre literally just applying with shit grades

I had heard thatthere were about four thousand andone hundred students coming inthis year, whichmeans thata fifth of the students applied. Thatmeans thatthose whowere planning ongoing to Mercaria andArucia tried to join aswell.

Of course, just about anyone can summon things aslongasthey have energy, butthey would need atleast some talent ifthey wanted to contract a stronger beast.

You may form a contract with something like a dragon, butyou should have talent good enough to house it ina place like a lake, you know? You cant just contain something like thatina well.

Well get rid of those whocan just barely use low-class magic.

Low-class magic really was the lowest of the low. Spells inthis rank usually include stuff like Light andFlame.

Basically, its something thatjust about anything except animals can ah, I should exclude myself aswell. Anyway, its something thatcan literally distinguish things between humans andanimals. Andthese people whocan just barely use this kind of magic has the gall to try to get into this school?!

I am an elitist! I enjoy teaching overpowered characters! I like the elites thatunderstands everything injust one sentence!

I just want to teach cheat characters, damn it! I lived a nice life becauseof my students were cheats, butthese kids thatapplied to this school are just hopeless.

I have to teach these kids?! No way!

-Do you just not want to work?

[No one does.]

The loli bat asked me this incuriosity next to me. She can speak physically inthis form, butas shes pretending to be an elemental atthe moment, she talked to me through the mind like usual.

No, beforethat, she didnt eventalk to me inher bat form, sinceit was supposedly annoying andnow

Anyway she isnt here.

Ah, afterall, shes from Nermia

Hoho, look atthis cute bastard. She told me thatshed think about it, andshe decided not to apply. Hoho, I was planning ontreating her well, butsince things ended up like this, shell have to end up becoming a sacrifice.

Ill destroy you atevery competition you get into.

Please dont pay attention to what family she is from. We need to look purely attheir talents. What we need right nowarent famous families, butpeople whowill leave a mark onhistory.

Right.

Whenwe went back to filtering out the good from the bad, the office door opened, anda short, muscular dwarf walked in.

Its done.

Already?

The principal said this inextreme surprise, butI myself wasnt too surprised.

Dwarves.

People talk about them being the race of master craftsmen, orthe race of fire, butI know the truth.

They are the race of grinding!

No one will ever deny thatthe dwarves are masters whenit comes to blacksmithing.

Right. They are experts whenit comes to hammering.

No one will ever deny thatthe dwarves are masters whenit comes to mining.

Right. They are experts whenit comes to digging andmining.

No one will ever deny thatthe dwarves are masters whenit comes to architecture.

Right. They are experts whenit comes to designing, andthey are true kings whenit comes to grinding.

These dwarves had been working onthis project foran entire month, soit was already about time they finished.

How was it?

Hmm asexpected, the things you think of are entertaining. You didnt come up with anything new this time, butto think thatall this would be forstudents Hoho, the students of this school will probably get unforgettable memories of this place.

Student life always comes with new memories, haha.

Right, I remember too. I always stayed behind inschool, and I cant remember. Inany case, Ill make my students remember!

I will let them enjoy student life devoid of I mean, full of hopes anddreams!

To think thatthat girl would reject student life like this! What was the girls name again? Ria? Inany case, Ill make her regret her own actions!

-You look like a friggin yandere. You thinking of thatkid? What ifyou get discovered?

[If I get discovered I can just run again.]

-What the. Are you gonna make escape paths again? Is thatalways the first thing onyour agenda orsomething?

[The most important thing ina situation of life anddeath is good preparation.]

-Just dont create reasons to get into thatsituation inthe first place.

Evenwhilecomplaining, the bat simply kept stuffing her face with cookies.

Mm? Hold on, she isnt an elemental, though? Shes made of metal, sohows she eating?!

[How are you eating cookies?]

-Are you dumb? You chew it. Do you not know how to eat cookies?

[No you might be able to eat ifyou were an elemental, butyoure just metal]

-I am an elemental though? The elemental of metal?!

[No, you know thats not true.]

-But Im supposed to be an elemental here?

[No, you are an elemental here, butyoure actually just metal, sohow the hell are you eating?!]

I lost composure. Seriously, how is a metal eating cookies?! What the hell?!

-Because Im me?

whatever.

Thus, I left the mystery of the bat behind me, andwent back to work afterreceiving the map of the escape paths from the dwarf. And! Aftera full month! A new semester began.
