"Today, I will be the one winning! Mark my words, Aaron!" A mighty voice said.
A burst of mocking laughter came in response. "Hahaha, Gwan, you naive kid. First, manage to bring out your pet successfully. It's been so long, and it's not here yet. Be happy that I haven't attacked you yet."
It was a closed room. There were metallic walls all around them.
The floor was lit in a greenish light. Two men stood on opposite sides of each other.
A white-haired man stood on one end dressed in all white who was addressed as Aaron previously. There were some cool-looking glasses on his face. He also wore two white gloves, which had multiple sensors. They were monitoring his body conditions and other factors.
The young man looked to be in his early twenties. He was looking at another man before him with a mocking gaze.
A dark-haired young man stood before him, frowning. He was dressed in similar attire as other man, with the same gloves and similar clothes that looked futuristic to some extent. He also had the same glasses as the other guy.
The only thing different was that there was a summoning circle before him that he had finished drawing, but the circle wasn't shining.
Gwan couldn't understand why his summoning circle wasn't working.
He raised his right hand and made some strange symbols on the gloves. A holographic image came from the gloves, revealing a woman.
The hologram belonged to a young lady in her mid-thirties.
"What?" The lady asked.
"Joana, Analyse the summoning formation that I drew and tell me why it's not working. What flaws are in it? As far as I'm concerned, there should be none," Gwan commanded.
The holographic woman that he was talking to wasn't actually a woman. It was an AI that was created. It was installed in all these gloves, which could be used accordingly to analyze problems.
That wasn't all. The green light that was on the floor was also analyzing everything in this place.
The AI looked down at the formation and started analyzing it.
"Heh, what a crappy summoner. Can't even draw a formation properly. Man, you'd be so toast if you were ever in a real war. You'll keep waiting for the summoning circle to work while the enemy will take off your head," Aaron chuckled.
"Can you keep your mouth shut for a minute? Just let me understand what's happening. As soon as I get the formation working, then I'll show you how superior we Summoners are! There's a reason I managed to get this far after all," Gwan proudly stated.
"Reason? Hah, we all know the reason. Don't make me speak that out loud since we're being recorded here." Aaron rolled his eyes. "Just surrender and leave. You already wasted so much of my time."
"Scanning complete. Computing results..." The woman finished her task and looked back at Gwan.
"Results Computed. There are no major flaws in the formation. According to the database, it's a good formation."
"That doesn't make sense. Why isn't it working then?" Gwan's frown deepened as he looked back at the empty formation.
Swiss~
The formation abruptly started shining.
"Finally, it works. It's still strange, though. Why did it work so late this time?" Gwan muttered.
Something else happened, which was strange. Generally, when he summoned his beast, it came like normal. There were no blinding lights. However, this time, a blinding white flash came suddenly, forcing Gwan and Aaron to close their eyes.
After the light disappeared, they all opened their eyes slowly.
"What? Who are you?" Gwan exclaimed, seeing three humans in the room with them suddenly.
Gon also stood in the middle of them.
Lucifer calmly raided his gaze and stared at the man who had spoken. Since he still wasn't in a good mood, he didn't respond.
Instead, he looked around, observing the room.
His eyes fell on Aaron in the back.
The room was fully closed. There appeared to be no door either.
Also, since Gon was in this world, his memories of the world of Summons were blocked. He couldn't remember Lucifer and others. He simply walked over to Gwan.
"Where is the way out?" Lucifer asked the young man.
"First, you answer! How did you get in! Do you know we're in the middle of an important examination? What the heck are you doing interfering!" Gwan asked.
Already in a bad mood, Lucifer felt slight bloodlust after being scolded.
Without thinking twice, he raised his right hand and grasped the neck of Gwan.
"I asked you a question!" he spoke in a devil-like tone, raising Gwan in the air.
"Hey! What the heck are you doing!" Aaron ran towards Lucifer. Even though he and Gwan weren't friends, they were still in the same school.
Aaron misunderstood Lucifer to be from another school who had come here to interfere with their examination. Why else would he try to hurt Gwan? He ran towards Lucifer to save Gwan.
Not only him, but even Gon couldn't see his summoner being attacked. Since he didn't remember Lucifer, he also attacked.
Gon ran towards Lucifer.
Lucifer shifted his attention to Gon, who had thrust his body towards Lucifer.
He raised his right foot, smacking it on the ground. The perfect floor cracked with a crater in the middle.
Gon jumped high towards Lucifer, only to get in his range.
Bang~
Lucifer spun his body around, kicking Gon.
Boom~
Gon flew back like a lifeless doll, crashing on the wall in the back, instantly losing consciousness. A formation Circle appeared under him, and he disappeared, going back to the world of Summons.
Aaron was still the problem. After dealing with Gon, Lucifer looked back at Aaron.
He wasn't alone though. Salazar was also feeling slightly regretful about his conduct in the world of summon when it came to Amelia and Lucifer. Now that he was here, he wanted to help Lucifer instead by standing beside him.
That was also why he jumped into the mix.
"Not so fast, young man." Salazar spread his Time Domain as he stepped in the middle while bringing out his Sword.
Aaron was surprised at the speed of Salazar, not realizing that it was him who was slow. Before he knew it, Salazar was standing right in front of him. The tip of his sword was resting on Aaron's neck.
"Young man, take one more step, and you'll experience first hand the sharpness of my sword," Salazar calmly stated.
"W-who are you all?" Aaron asked.
"We'll be the ones asking questions instead," Salazar replied, smirking.
