Chapter 5.06 (1/2)

Chapter 5. Welcome to the summoner’s school. (6)

“There’s a lot.”

“Indeed, there’s a lot.”

“Too much, in fact.”

Over eight hundred applications were sent in.

Normally, Mercaria takes in two thousand, and Arcia takes in a thousand and two hundred. Seeing that Marcia and Yugrasia normally takes in around 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, and bam! People even started calling this the beginning of the [Great Summoner’s Era]. Now, if someone comes in claiming that he’d become the summoner king, everything would be perfect!

…No…

This is all just extra work. Stop applying… They’re literally just applying with s.h.i.+t grades…

I had heard that there were about four thousand and one hundred students coming in this year, which means that a fifth of the students applied. That means that those who were planning on going to Mercaria and Arucia tried to join as well.

Of course, just about anyone can summon things as long as they have energy, but they would need at least some talent if they wanted to contract a stronger beast.

You may form a contract with something like a dragon, but you should have talent good enough to house it in a place like a lake, you know? You can’t just contain something like that in a well.

“We’ll get rid of those who can just barely use low-cla.s.s magic.”

Low-cla.s.s magic really was the lowest of the low. Spells in this rank usually include stuff like “Light” and “Flame.”

Basically, it’s something that just about anything except animals can… ah, I should exclude myself as well. Anyway, it’s something that can literally distinguish things between humans and animals. And these people who can 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 that understands everything in just one sentence!

I just want to teach cheat characters, d.a.m.n it! I lived a nice life because of my students were cheats, but these kids that applied 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 in curiosity next to me. She can speak physically in this form, but as she’s pretending to be an elemental at the moment, she talked to me through the mind like usual.

No, before that, she didn’t even talk to me in her bat form, since it was supposedly annoying… and now…

“Anyway… she isn’t here.”

“Ah, after all, she’s from Nermia…”

Hoho, look at this cute b.a.s.t.a.r.d. She told me that she’d think about it, and she decided not to apply. Hoho, I was planning on treating her well, but since things ended up like this, she’ll have to end up becoming a sacrifice.

I’ll destroy you at every compet.i.tion you get into.

“Please don’t pay attention to what family she is from. We need to look purely at their talents. What we need right now aren’t famous families, but people who will leave a mark on history.”

“Right.”

When we went back to filtering out the good from the bad, the office door opened, and a short, muscular dwarf walked in.

“It’s done.”

“Already?”

The princ.i.p.al said this in extreme surprise, but I myself wasn’t too surprised.

Dwarves.

People talk about them being the race of master craftsmen, or the race of fire, but I know the truth.
