Chapter Chapter 39: Welcome to the summoner’s school. (9) (2/2)

It’s a goddess of war.

From a military family’s point of view, making this contract would be a done deal no matter how many millions we needed to spend, but to think that we could make a contract this full of nothing but benefits!

“Hu, hurry!”

While I was reading the contract, the silver summon couldn’t wait any longer and started beating up the goddess again with another round of ‘tushitushi’s.

The goddess that was getting beaten up again looked at me pleadingly.

‘I did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong!’

Yes, this is what the goddess wanted. I just listened to what she said.

I have no responsibility for any of this!

This is all Professor Nicerwin’s fault.

“I’ll do it!”

At the goddess’s cries I quickly stamped my thumb on the inkpad and then the Geass Roll.

“Nah, naoh that it’s dunn…”

As soon as the contract between the goddess and I was forged, the sounds of ‘tushitushi’ could no longer be heard.

“Hiing… Aww… Felt so good on my hands too…”

“Hiiik!”

The goddess scrambling back as the silver lifeform looked at her with what seemed like genuine regret was another minor incident.

“Now then, Miss Aris, now.”

“Ye, yes!”

To me who was watching this happen, Professor Nicerwin said to me.

“Desummon her.”

“Desummon?”

The goddess’s momentarily pupil-less eyes blinked a couple of times, before life finally came back to her.

And lowering her head for a moment, she stood back up on shaky feet and shouted.

“Th, this is a scam!”

“It is already too late.”

The goddess glared at Professor Nicerwin with a face that said she’d been had, while Professor Nicerwin was making a very evil expression, as if everything had gone according to his plan.

“Now, Miss Aris. Once you desummon her, that is the end of the process.”

“Sc, scam! This is a scam!”

Desummoning.

An action wherein the summoner returned the summon back to its original world.

Meaning, I would return my contracted summon the goddess, back to her original world.

But even if I didn’t do such a thing, the goddess could desummon herself.

Rather, because of the contract, she couldn’t desummon herself freely.

It was a moment where her title as the goddess of wisdom became worthless, but the one that had made this happen was that silver creature over there.

“It’s a scaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmm!”

As the goddess disappeared with a scream of despair, I stared at Professor Nicerwin.

“Are all contracts like this?”

No matter how little my family had to do with summoning, what I had heard from nobles who my family were either associates or quite close with, this was not what I had heard from them.

They said that this supposed to be a far more solemn, ceremonial occasion, where you would find a partner you would spend the rest of your life with.

But just what had happened while I was making my contract!

Violence and threats, and a slave contract!

No matter how ignorant I was about summoning this was definitely not your everyday normal summoning process!

It felt like my life had kept on taking turns for the weirder ever since I had enrolled into this school.

“You have become a summoner of a god. In the end, are the results not for the better for everyone involved?”

But even to my words, Professor Nicerwin calmly said as if absolutely nothing was out of the ordinary.

“Really?”

“Yes, young lady. It so happens that the basics of negotiations involve pressing forward when your opponent is not in a state to make rational decisions.”

Although it felt like I hadn’t learned the basics of negotiations, but the basics of threatening, but since I could make a contract with the great goddess Athena I decided to keep my mouth shut.

The next day.

As I was walking to school first thing in the morning.

In front of the school gates was a giant placard that read [Congratulations! Lady Aris ril Letia! The new summoner of Athena, Goddess of War!]

***

Although I hadn’t anticipated it, thanks to the metal bat we could very easily form a contract with the goddess of war.

Thanks to that the school’s evaluation was on the up!

Although there had been many gazes of suspicion and doubt from the parents, this incident caused them to all but vanish.

It’s a god. And the goddess of war no less!

And moreover, the contractor was someone from the famous Ten Great Families, the daughter of the Letia Marquisate that was front and center of the empire’s military, Aris!

The stories had already started spreading throughout the empire, and rumours had it that the families who hadn’t sent enrollment forms to Yugrasia were now very envious.

As I expected, the best promotion for Yugrasia!

At this rate, even if I don’t make a speech next year the students will come flowing in!

-But, at this rate then we’ll probs get other rumours going round as well?

-Of course.

But at the moment, the only god-level contractor is the Letia girl.

Although contractors of gods are an extremely rare minority, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Even before I arrived, one of the student council had already made a contract with the god Loki, after all.

Most likely there would be those who would not want Yugrasia’s popularity to continue any further.

Especially those attending the other Four Great Academies, or their parents, would want to see Yugrasia cut down down to size.

And so they would probably spread the rumour that Aris already had the capabilities to make a contract with a god.

Because if it’s the Letia marquisate that’s more than plausible after all. So.

-Then, we just need to make contracts with some more gods.

Although I realised this when the metal bat returned the goddess of hell that Sia had summoned, the metal bat works on gods of other worlds as well.

-Haang, the sole goddess, Lady Arcadia would never lose to some gods of other worlds!

-Yes, you’re the best!

As I replied in the positive to the smug metal bat, I tried to think of some other usable first years.

Since there’s already a tried and true method of making contracts, there’s no reason for me to not use it, right?

-I am the great, kuaaaagh!

-I rule over fiyaaaaahgh!

-Kuaaaghgk!

-Hu, human! Stop, stop iiiht!

And so, around a month later.

Yugrasia gained five new god-class summoners.
