Chapter 49: Tamer's raid and intense cold bear
The next day, we went to the Beastmaster's Guild for our first summoning, just like yesterday. Hearing Rook's request, I also do a normal magic stone summon. Here are the results.
Name Gale Lion Lv1
Vitality 8
Magic Power 6
Strength 12
Defense 8
Agility 8
Dexterity 6

Bite Lv1
Claw Strike Lv1
Intimidation Lv1
Night Vision Lv1
The one I summoned was a lion with a magnificent mane. My magic stone summon legend breaks here. It must be Rook's fault.
The name comes from the English reading of the word gale. I've heard that Gail is more common, but I prefer Gale. I think the name Gale is more appropriate for a feline. Status is average. It seems to say that champions have no weaknesses.
And the important thing about Rook is that he summoned a slime. I felt Tyrol's mood drop to sub-zero.
"It's a misunderstanding! I didn't summon it because I wanted to!"
Even if that was the case, it didn't change the fact that he had made it a companion. Tyrol seemed to have been covered by Wolf. She seemed to be enjoying the mofumofu time while feeling depressed. When I told her that summoners have the hope of list summon and that wolves have many places to evolve, she changed her mind and turned her attention to hunting.
After that, the evolution was successfully completed. Tyrol chose to evolve into a White Wolf and a Red Wolf. She chose the opposite of my decision. I think it was a good choice. Though she's crazy about the white wolf's fluffiness.
There were two bat evolutions that I was interested in. The Blood Bat and the Sound Bat. Apparently, it was a story of specializing in blood sucking and specializing in sound waves. Tyrol chose the sound bat.
The next day, Friday, was even more problematic. We summon first, just like yesterday. I selected the long-desired second tiger by doing list summon. The aim is a white tiger, so use a name that suits it.
Name Byakuya Tiger Lv1
Vitality 8
Magic Power 2
Strength 14
Defense 10
Agility 10
Dexterity 8
Skills
Bite Lv1
Claw Strike Lv1
Leap Lv1
Night Vision Lv1
White night is a natural phenomenon where the sun never sets. Regardless of that, I thought white and night fit the white tiger, so I put them together. Kotetsu is in kanji, so it would be just right. Status is the same as Kotetsu's initial. Well, of course. And having summoned Byakuya, the summoning magic has leveled up.
Rook and Tyrol summoned chicks.
"No, I'm sure you'll get stronger, okay? Don't be discouraged"
So we went out into the field just like yesterday...but I felt a distinctly unpleasant stare. In fact, I've felt a few eyes on me since I formed a party with Rook and Tyrol, but it wasn't an unpleasant gaze. But today's gaze was definitely an unpleasant one and the other party was completely following us. So I changed the plan and headed to the lake for fishing.
"Shall we go fishing at the lake today?"
"Emm, we too?"
"You too...we've been together for three days. I've been with you for three days. And it's not a bad idea to get some food. Both Rook and Tyrol have evolved summoned beasts. I think we've got enough to get by, don't you?"
"That's...that's probably true"
"We can't stay together forever, can we?"
Well, maybe I'll give you a graduation gift? I've heard that if you fight a duel without rules or defeat a player in regular combat, you get a random amount of money and an item.
Arriving at the lake, I call out to the stalking guys. It would be strange if they weren't there.
"We're the only ones around here. Why don't you stop stalking and come out?"
""Eh?""
Rook and Tyrol seemed to have no idea what I meant, but as I said that, three players came out of the forest. They had all Wolves with them. Some of them were evolved Wolves. Is this a Mofumofu fan club?
"I didn't think you'd notice. Little girl Summoner"
It's about me. I wonder if the name has already been confirmed. Because there are three people.
"It's all Wolves over there. What are you, a Mofumofu fan club?"
"Huh. Those who don't look at the bulletin board are in trouble because of this. Wolves are monsters that specialize in group battles. The more you have, the stronger you get"
Well, there is no denying it. A pack of Wolves is a marvel, that's for sure.
"I see. But is it okay? I'm sure it's going to be a problem later on if all you have are Wolves"
"If we're in trouble, why don't we just get rid of the wolves and bring in some other monsters?"
"We're tamers, we can get all the monsters we want"
Apparently they're fierce beastmasters and tamers. I don't like the idea of using summoned beasts and then throwing them away when they are no longer useful. Although I suppose that's a normal tactic for tamers.
"Thanks for the advice, which I don't want to take at all. What can I do for you?"
"You're not so stupid that you can't see what's going on here, are you?"
I guess. Three opponents, lots of Wolves. They're probably in a legion. Our party is currently me, Rook, Tyrol, Gray, Gobuna, and Gonta. If we fought normally, we'd be in a dead end. Normally, that is.
"Ta, Takuto-san. This is not good. This is"
"Wh, What should we do..."
"It's my graduation gift to you. We'll take care of them. We're your bodyguards"
Gray and I will step forward.
"We'll take care of you guys. What will you do? Do we fight like this? Or do you want to end this in a duel?"
"It's quick and helpful. I'm not going to be a PK. I'll kill you in a duel"
PK? It's not a penalty kick. I don't know, but me and these three guys are going to duel. It's a deathmatch with no rules. So, let's go easy on them, shall we?
"Summon Legion"
Lily, Ion, Setia, Kotetsu, Konoha, Chess, Gale, Byakuya and Hiyori are summoned around me. Oh Hiyori, it's dangerous, so she's waiting on my head. The other party looks like a donkey. I feel that the wolves are also in despair.
"Uwaa..."
"There are more opponents, but...this is"
Rook and Tyrol are also distracted. But the world of competition is a ruthless one. Lily can't understand the situation and asks me.
"Takuto, what's wrong?"
