I Became the Heavenly Demon of the Academy

Elemental Contract (2)

“Student Carol seems to be able to see spirits, right?”

There must have been a reason why he glanced at me before class began.

In the meantime, if you look at the fact that I even grasped the spirits.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Once you can see the spirit, it’s as if you’ve cleared the basic conditions. It can be seen that the contract is successful. Then please come over here.”

Following Eliate’s guidance, I entered the magic circle written in an unknown language.

“This is a spirit contract magic circle that has been handed down to us elves since ancient times. Using the aura inside Carol, I will search for the most suitable spirit in the spirit realm. If the spirit responds to that search, it will naturally be summoned here. Then, please stay in the position that is most comfortable for you.”

In the middle of the magic circle with messy lines drawn here and there, I sat cross-legged.

“I will activate the magic circle now. Don’t be too surprised as the mana in your body can drain in an instant.”

As soon as Eliate’s words finished, a bright light came from the magic circle, covering my entire body.

At the same time, the raw energy inside me started to escape at a rapid rate.

After the gigantic vitality that would have exhausted him if he hadn’t reached the extreme end was gone.

Between the haze of stylized aura created by the release of an enormous amount of radiance, a bright yellow orb with a crackling and splendid spark was floating.

“This….”

Seeing the orb, Eliate’s eyes widened.

“It doesn’t look like the four basic elemental systems such as water, fire, wind, and earth, is that correct?”

From the outside, it looks like nothing but a sparkling orb, but is this a spirit with a will?

“yes. This is my first time seeing it too. This is the spirit of lightning, Lioner. You just have to approach, touch, and say in your heart that you are making a contract. If you’ve come this far, does that mean the spirit is willing to make a contract with you?”

Put your heart on the marble and say, as Eliate said, that we will make a contract.

As if a flash of lightning, a lightning storm erupted around me, and thrilling energy flowed through the blood vessels throughout my body.

Even though it looked as if the body had been struck by lightning, I felt only a cool stimulus, not pain.

As if the spirit and I became one body.

However, he still couldn’t feel the spirit’s will.

While the Salamanders in Leon and the spirits around Eliate, although at the level of animals, have their own ego, the spirit called Lioner, even though he was united with me, didn’t feel a particularly firm image.

“Can you tell us more about Lioner?”

It seems a bit different from the normal spirits I’ve seen so far.

“It looks like something out of an old book… I don’t know much about it either. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it. However, while normal spirits are divided into grades, Lioners say there is no such distinction.”

“If there is no classification of grades…”

“Instead, it is said that Lioner’s power grows according to the ability of the contractor. The stronger the contractor, the faster the Lioner grows.”

In a way, it could be seen as a spirit specialized for me.

I don’t know how the spirit’s ability is divided according to the level, but I didn’t think that a low or intermediate level spirit would be of great help to me.

“thank you. To some extent, I got a sense.”

“What is it, congratulations on the spirit contract. I also liked seeing Lioner for the first time. An extremely rare spirit from the beginning… This year’s class is already amazing.”

Crossing between the dumbfounded students, I came out to the back where no one was there.

Eliate didn’t seem to know the exact ability of this spirit.

In the end, I guess I’ll have to figure it out myself.

I couldn’t see it, but I immediately felt that there was an aura completely different from my energy inside my body, even without contemplating deeply inside.

While class was in progress, I sat alone in the back lot, cross-legged, and quietly closed my eyes.

I still couldn’t feel the will from the inner spirit.

However, like Jinki, it was certain that it would move around according to my will.

It was like that when I signed the contract, but listening to what I said in my heart means that I know my will and understand it.

I gathered the energy of the spirit flowing inside my body again, and made it into a ball of lightning that I saw for the first time and placed it on my hand.

Unusually, even though it is close to a simple mass of uniqueness, I felt the proper weight in the marble held in my hand as if it had mass in itself.

Bow (窮究).

I just thought of something, so I closed my eyes and thought slowly while holding the marble.

A lightning elemental that has its own mass.

Did lightning have a definite shape?

If there is no clear form, why bother obsessing over the shape of a marble?

no.

There’s no reason why.

If it is free enough to flow through the bloodstream, it should be possible to transform into other forms using intention.

Intention is the power of imagination with a purpose.

It was embodied by fusing the power of the lightning spirit and the power of the will of the true spirit.

When I opened my eyes and looked at it, a long sword about 5 feet (125 cm) long was floating in my hand.

Perhaps because of the fusion with the spirit of the Heavenly Demon God, the bright yellow color at the beginning was nowhere to be found, and pitch black lightning coiled around the blackened sword body, sending out electric sparks like a flashover.

A black sword made of lightning.

“Black thunder.”

Grabbing the sword, I spit out the words that suddenly came to my intuition.

As soon as I gave the name to the spirit, which I had no intention of feeling until now, it emits a single flash of light strong enough to cover the heavens and earth as if it were pleasant.

“No, what the hell did you do alone behind the scenes!”

“It’s a class we’re taking together, isn’t it too much to do?”

“Did you ever say that you’re crazy?”

“As per rumor, you don’t care too much about other people’s eyes.”

….

Everyone looked at me as if they were glaring at me, saying one word at a time mixed with resentment, as if they were surprised by the intense light emitted by the spirit in an instant.

Ignoring those gazes, I quietly dispersed the energy of the spirit again and captured it in my body, then returned to my seat and sat down.

“I’m sorry, something just came to my mind.”

“are you okay. I had a good experience in many ways today. The lightning elemental could turn black in that form.”

Eliate said with wide eyes as if she was curious.

“Come on, don’t be too hard on Carol. Next, student Selina, please come out.”

Even when I was immersed in myself and struggling hard, the classes were still going on, and I could see the difference between those who succeeded in signing a spirit contract and those who failed, just by looking at their faces, I could immediately tell who was successful and who was a failure.

Next, the overall chief who came with me, Selina.

I was curious as to whether she would succeed in the spirit contract, so I concentrated my eyes on her.

“I’ll get ready for a while.”

“Yes, let me know when you are ready.”

Selina, who stood in her seat and closed her eyes, floated the huge book she was holding in front of her and opened it.

I don’t know what the principle is, but Selina murmured softly, and at the same time, brightly shining letters emerged from the book and wrapped around Selina’s body.

“I am ready.”

“let’s begin.”

Just like the time I did, the magic circle flashed brightly once, and after a while, something with a heavy presence descended on this place.

A spirit in the shape of a gigantic horse with cold blue eyes visible through the swirling mist.

“…In many ways, this year is great. I never thought this would happen twice.”

“The highest level water spirit, Elestra… is that right?”

Selina asked as if she knew about the type of spirit in advance.

“Yes, that’s right. The highest level spirits are difficult even for elves who live for a long time to face… Congratulations.”

“thank you….”

Seemingly out of the ordinary due to exhaustion, Selina stumbled over to sit next to me with a frown on her face.

“Are you okay?”

“yes. I’ve experienced mana exhaustion often, so it’s okay.”

“For a moment, don’t deny it.”

He grabbed the wrist of Selina who was next to him and breathed in his energy.

With a more relaxed expression, Selina’s rapid breathing softened.

“This is… thank you. I only received help from before.”

“There is a saying that it is a relationship even if you just brush your collar, so this much is nothing. By the way, I never thought there would be such a thing.”

The highest level spirit, Elestra.

Just looking at her presence, she was not at all inferior to Dean Amelia.

Since it’s a summoned being, it’s unknown if it can fully demonstrate its actual fighting power, but even if it can use only a portion of that power, it will be a tremendous power.

“I barely signed a contract, but I don’t think I can even materialize it properly for the time being. It’s as if I borrowed the power of the Great Magic Book of Eternal Return and summoned it in an expedient way…”

“That’s it, time will tell. Congratulations, that is enough to call it a miracle.”

“Princess Carol seems very different from the rumors. Nice, kind, confident…”

“Rumors are literally just rumors.”

“That’s right, but I want all nobles to be like Prince Charles.”

“Isn’t Flanders also a noble family?”

“Although he is a baronet, he has no territory and is a title that is impossible to inherit… he is no different from a commoner. Even the real nobility sees me that way. You’re not real nobles and won’t even accept a duel request.”

Well, since it was like that, the miscellaneous things must have touched it without any burden.

The horse is an aristocrat, so that’s no different from a commoner.

Even if he had become a baron with a fiefdom, he wouldn’t have been able to touch him that easily.

“Aristocrats are, after all, only human beings. If it’s your talent, no one will easily look down on you when you graduate from this academy. So keep working hard.”

“Princess Karl is the same age as me, but he speaks just like my teacher. His way of speaking also feels like an archaic empire language…”

I say I speak naturally, but to the people here, I think my tone sounded like imperial gore.

Moorim’s way of speaking is somewhat like that, so this can’t be helped.

After all, my fundamental image is rooted in Moorim.

“Class is over! Everyone worked hard today. Congratulations to those who signed the contract. Don’t be too heartbroken for those who failed to contract with the spirits. There must be better things to come. Then let’s break up!”

We were talking about this and that, and before I knew it, Eliate informed me that class was over.

Excluding Selina, the limit was for the most intermediate spirits, and considering that only a small number of people succeeded in signing spirit contracts, it seemed that it was not a lie that they had many innate talents.

“I… can I go back with you?”

Selina said, staring at me, her blue eyes shining.

“Do whatever you want.”

The way back won’t be bad.

* * *

“Then let’s go in first.”

Selina’s dormitory was, of course, the Helios Hall, as was the general chief, and she bowed her head while hugging a huge book and entered the dormitory first.

“So, what is it?”

Before entering the dormitory, a woman who looked like she had business to do with me was staring at me, so I asked first.

Hair neatly upturned without a single strand of hair disturbed, and a neat yet luxurious dress.

He didn’t look like a simple academic staff member.

“Princess Carol. Is it time?”

“Time will pass.”

“Dean Amelia wants to talk to Prince Charles.”

…This was unexpected.

I never thought Amelia Dean would approach me first.

Apparently, this woman looked like the dean’s secretary.

“Can I go now?”

“Yes, you can follow me.”

You’ll know what I’m thinking when I go.

You’re the person I wanted to meet anyway.
