CH 45

As a result of discussions between the King and school director, I, Mifa, and Emilia will be in the same group for safety reasons.

Apparently, as part of the class, they sometimes subdue monsters or go to dungeons in outdoor activities. It seems that adventurers and knights will be our escorts, but even so, just in case, they decided to combine us with highly combative servants into one group.

“♪ It seems that they also considered the possible assassination of Mifa. Some nobles may be afraid of Mifa, who is qualified as a first-class inquisitor, so it can’t be said that there’s no possibility of assassination. This grouping is the best. “

“It’s hard to protect them from student assassinations,”

“♪ Please leave it to Navi. For those who show unnatural movements, I’ll immediately investigate their backgrounds using the Yggdrasil system and will notify you immediately if judged to be dangerous”

“Can’t I be stabbed while you’re investigating? 』\

“♪ It’s a system of God. It only takes a few seconds to finish, so I can look it up before you get into the enemy’s range. Oh, by the way, the people in this class are safe for the time being. There are children of houses who are dissatisfied with the royal family, but they don’t seem to have any malicious intent. “

?Seriously, Navi is excellent.

“Please continue to do such preliminary research.”

“♪ I understand”

?The teacher starts explaining tomorrow’s “summoning ceremony”.

“From tomorrow, the Summoning Ceremony will be held for three consecutive days. The first graders will participate tomorrow. I think many of you know that the Summoning Ceremony is held once a year. It’s set for three days. There are four places that have magic circles: the magic circle in the temple, the magic circle in the school, the magic circle in the royal castle, and the magic circle in the guild. “

“Sensei, Are there no magic circles anywhere else?”

“About that, I think it’s tough for individuals cause you need to draw a large-scale magic circle. I don’t really know in detail why it’s only once a year for three days. It’s just the summer solstice, but it means that it can be summoned for one day before and after the summer solstice. It’s said that it’s because it’s in a different space and cause of the star alignment it’s easier to connect with your demon beast. There’s a deadline of 3 days, so it has to be done quickly. The 2nd and 3rd graders will do it on the 2nd day, and the general public on the final day. “

Ordinary people do it also …

“♪ For school students it’s free, but for the general public they have to pay 10,000 Jenny.”

“They take money? 』\

“♪ A maintenance fee is required, and if it’s free of charge, even people who aren’t willing to use a demon beast as a servant will come to try. There’s an age limit of 16 years or older because only adults can challenge, but even if everyone comes to challenge, it won’t be possible to handle it in 3 days. “

So that’s it. It’s possible to prevent problems by taking money.

The teacher gave me some notes.

1. The summoned demon beast does not need any further meals once it has a servant contract.

2. The actions of the demon beast that was made a servant are the responsibility of the master

3. The school’s animal house is rented out, but a care fee will be charged according to the demon beast.

4. A small servant can stay by your side if it passes the exam.

5. If it’s discovered that you are abusing a demon beast that has become a servant, you’ll be punished by national law.

6. After summoning, be careful until you sign a contract or return it.

(It may rarely attack those it deems below it)

There seem to be other detailed rules, but it seems to be for those who have succeeded in summoning and decided to possess the demon beast.

” Eric-sensei I have a question!”

“What is it Luke?”

“I haven’t seen anyone carrying a servant in school, aren’t there many people who succeeded in summoning?”

“No, you can usually call something, but there are few contractors. The demon beast appears because of the magic power of the summoner, but first graders usually call a slime. It doesn’t add to fighting force. Moreover, it has low intelligence, so if you don’t control it, It could harm someone and it becomes a liability problem. It means that the summoned demon beast is a small fry that can only get in the way. “

” Slime Is it…”

“I’ll explain that from now on, so please listen carefully. Probably most summons will be lower-ranked monsters. If you make a contract easily, you can fall under rule 2 mentioned above and have at worst case the death penalty. So please be careful. “

Death penalty?

“♪ If the summoned low-intelligence beast attacks the royal princess Mifa and injures her, it’ll be the death penalty.”

“If you sign a contract with the summoned demon beast, Its intelligence will increase dramatically. Originally, a demon beast is a ferocious creature that attacks people, but for some reason, demon beasts called by summoning are relatively quiet. You’ll be able to communicate, but the food of the servant is the magic power of the person who became its master. Some third graders have 5 of them by themselves, but they’ve acquired a job called [servant] It seems that it’s possible to make multiple contracts because the servants consume much less magic power as food. Normally, it’s one or one, so unless it gives some special benefits, If an unusable demon beast comes, just “return” it. “

“Teacher, what’s the most amazing demon beast summoned at this school so far?”

“Hmm … Is it still a dragon? Six years ago, Seiryu, a clay dragon, was called. Also, there was a Drake, Wyvern, and Fire Lizards. It seems an Orc General was called long ago. I heard that it was good, quite strong, and very helpful. “

“” Orc! “”

“Orcs are summoned quite a bit, but there aren’t many contractors … They have high intelligence, but since they only listen to the contractor’s orders, they are troublesome to handle and have a strong libido, which often causes trouble. Anyway, if it’s a normal orc, it’ll be a little more powerful, but I don’t recommend it. The horned rabbit is more useful than using an orc as a servant.

The teacher taught us various things, but it seems that though a small and intelligent demon beast can be carried around, It doesn’t seem to be good because it doesn’t add to your strengths and is mostly returned.

Large monsters that can be used as a force can be kept in the beast house and taken along during practical training and outdoor activities.

From Monday to Friday, the knight academy’s magic class consists of 2 hours of classroom lectures in the morning and 2 hours of practical skills in the afternoon, for a total of 4 hours. In the second year, the afternoon practice will be 3 hours.

・HR pre-bell 9:00

・HR 9: 10-9: 30

・1st period 9: 45-10: 45

・2nd period 11: 00-12: 00

・Lunch break 12: 00-13: 30

・3rd period 13: 30-14: 30

・4th period 14: 45-15: 45

・HR 16: 00 ~

・The reason why the practical lesson time of the 1st grade is shorter than that of the 2nd grade is that 1st years with their small total MP cannot be taught practical skills for a long time. They say the first year’s task is to learn life magic and beginner magic and they’re given guidance to increase the total amount of MP.

During lunch break —

“Iris, I want to go to the school cafeteria!”

“No!”

“Why? The teacher said that 500 Jenny is pretty good. As a school student, you need to try it once, right?”

“What do you think would happen if Luke appears in the school cafeteria?”

“What? What would happen?”

“‘That’s the rumored ‘Orc Prince’! Won’t it cause a big spectacle? “

“Huh, that’s always happening, and even if I’m reluctant now … I already bombed it in class …”

“You have a pretty thick personality … but it’s no good!”

Iris rejected me.

“Where does Emilia eat then?”

“I make it in the dormitory.”

Is it made by the maid Natalie?

“Is that so … Hmm”

” Luke-sama, would you allow Mifa to join you?  I haven’t actually cooked at all.”

Erica blushed and asked me.

“Oh yeah … Erica wasn’t originally trained as a school valet while she was in the royal castle. There’s a court cook in the castle, so she didn’t have to cook.”

Erica suddenly decided to go to school. It’s no wonder that her skills learned are different from Iris’ who trained in school over the years.

“Yes. I’ll eat at the school cafeteria, so can I ask Iris-san for Mifa-sama’s meal?”

“How about it Iris?”

“Yes. I don’t know if it’ll fit the princess’s taste, but leave it to me. Erica, you should join us instead of going to the school cafeteria. Even if the number of people increases a little, the time and effort won’t change much, so please don’t hold back “

“Thank you”

“If you can cook Natalie, why don’t you join us with Emilia? You can cook with Iris so I think you can both save time and effort.”

“…………”

“Oh, you don’t have to overdo it.”

” Natalie, will it be less burdensome?”

Emilia…You can speak normally to Natalie, even though you can’t respond to my questions.

“Yes. It will help a lot! The variety of dishes we cook every day will increase, and if we discuss and decide on the ingredients in advance, the burden will be halved. Cooking time and cleaning up will be much easier.”

” I see … Then we’ll join you …”

Natalie is good at handling Emilia.

She knew Emilia might hate it because I was there so emphasized that her burden would be reduced, and took advantage of her kindness to guide her well …

“♪ If she doesn’t do anything like this, her androphobia won’t improve. Natalie seems to want her to get used to master as much as possible. She’s a kind girl who cares about Emilia very much. ”

“Emilia, if you think it’s difficult, you don’t have to overdo it. So which room should we use? Given the burden on Mifa, who has a bad eye, is Mifa’s room the best?”

We talked about where to eat, but I heard that it was a problem for me as a boy to enter the girls’ dormitory every meal, so we decided to eat in my room.
