Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 4: Three Things

"It's the teacher."

"He is bringing a big scroll."

"That must be the result!"

The students had been gathering in the hall to know about their result. Some of them were already sure about their result and went home earlier, while most of the students remained just to make sure about it.

Jason posted the result on the board before walking out of the room.

The students immediately rushed to the board to find their names.

One student fell on his knees out of happiness. "Oh! I got accepted!"

"Why? I have done my best!" Another one was leaving in tears.

Out of a total of 130 people, only 86 people were accepted.

Jason glanced at them for a bit. He didn't care about their excitement since he had seen the most ridiculous thing he could find in this enrollment. Who would have thought that a student who he thought wouldn't pass end up becoming the vice principal's student?

However, there was one person that caught his eye. It was the blond-haired guy that kept insulting Nathan.

'That guy should be nobility, if I remember correctly. Is his father the lord of the territory that governs the land where Nathan came from? Maybe I should keep an eye on him,' thought Jason while walking away. The only reason he didn't think much of it was because of the smug smile he had, as if he only cared about his own result, not Nathan's, so he thought the friction between them was small.

Meanwhile, Nathan was facing a task that was much more problematic than he originally thought. It was studying.

He thought that he would be reading books. Even though he wouldn't enjoy it, he had read a lot of novels, so he could bear reading study books.

But what he didn't expect was his teacher actually teaching him directly.

She was actually sitting on the table in front of him while crossing her legs while fixing her glasses.

'This is torture.' Nathan shifted his gaze away, not knowing where to look.

"You must be tired from all the tests. All students will have to spend their nights in their dorms, but that's only after their enrollment. You can go to your dorm right now, but since there is one week before the official enrollment, you will live with me. Understood?"

Nathan nodded.

"But before that, I'll tell you three things about the summoners." Vivian raised three fingers. "First of all, we don't call summoned creatures as it is. We have to respect them as well and call them either as familiars or their names.

"Secondly, as I have explained earlier, to summon a familiar, you need Ena. However, that's not only the requirement. To a certain extent, we're able to summon a familiar that we want by using it.

"This is what we call 'Sacrifice.' For example, using a tree as a sacrifice and doing the summoning ritual inside a forest will give you a higher chance to summon an elf, a druid, or any other being living inside the forest.

"However, the first summon is different. We can't use a sacrifice because our body is the sacrifice for the first summon, which ultimately turns our body into a full-fledged summoner. Well, you may call it a beacon for other familiars to respond to our call. That's why it's a good measurement to check their talent from their first summon.

"Last but not least, even though your summons will be handling most of the battles, you have to learn some martial arts so that you can at least protect yourself. During this one week, I'll have my familiar teach you hand-to-hand combat. If you can endure it and keep working hard, I believe that you will become a great summoner."

Nathan nodded. "Can I ask a question, Teacher?"

"Ask away."

"How many familiars can one have? And what will happen if they somehow die?"

Vivian had expected the first question, but she never thought Nathan had considered the second one.

"There is no limit to how many familiars you can have. In the end, it's related to how much Ena you have in your body. Remember my first lesson earlier?"

"Yes."

"Everyone has their own style of summoner they envision of. There is a scary man in the north that can summon a million skeletons. There is a beast summoner in the east who fights alongside his familiar, who happens to be a draconian, a combination of both a human and a dragon. There is a great man in the central plain that has the support of an Archangel."

"I see." Nathan contemplated for a moment. "Does that mean even if we're fighting someone, it will only be against their strongest familiar? Can't they summon the others?"

"They can, but in the end, if the power gap is too big, it simply makes no difference."

"But can't the familiars just get stronger?"

"The process will simply require a lot of resources. Do you know why they receive our call?"

Nathan shook his head.

"Some are going because of goodwill, but some are here for the chance to become stronger. It's more complicated, so I'll teach you later."

"I understand." Nathan waved his hands, implying that she could teach him when she had time.

"As for what will happen if they die, your connection will be lost forever and the Ena you've sacrificed won't return to you. At the same time, there is no proof that they are dying as well. There's a possibility that they simply return to their world without any chance of going back."

"Oh!" Nathan nodded. It would be sad if they couldn't meet their partner anymore, but in the end, they were not the beings of this world.

"For now, read these two books." She handed over a rather thin book. It didn't seem to be more than a hundred pages, which he believed he could finish within a week. "Alisha."

A wind swirled next to Vivian. As it dispersed, an elven figure made her appearance.

"Bring him back to the mansion... No, buy him some clothes first."

"Sure." Alisha responded with a smile. She approached Nathan and extended her hand. "Let's go."

Nathan nodded as she led him outside. Fenrir, who had been staying this whole time, couldn't help but think, 'This guy must be thinking how lucky he is.'
