Transmigrated to Become the Hero's Aid

Chapter-34: First Step

'Getting a familiar can help....' Lucas thought. If Lucas could get a familiar, related with the attack mana and such, he would be able to use the mana that the familiar had. It was perfect. Lucas had a lot of mana to spend when it came to healing and if he just got something to enhance his sword skills or physical strength, he imagined himself being quite durable.

But Lucas instantly considered his plan as it was a plan that even Ryosuke had failed. And people who gained the familiar spirits were extremely rare. So rare that it was hard to find a person with a familiar spirit in one century.

It was because of its difficulty. Lucas sighed when he thought about the steps that needed to get a familiar, in order words, guardian spirits. Actually there were not that many steps but the problem was the difficulty. Firstly, he needed to find the correct location, secondly the correct summoning circle, and finally pass the test of the spirit. Simple, yet difficult.

Lucas didn't know the location or summoning circle or what the test was. It wasn't even described properly in the novel, only telling that Ryosuke was guided by the veteran and tried to summon a spirit but then failed to gain the contract.

'I don't even know what the test was!?' Lucas seriously considered. The novel never described the components of the test and just said that Ryosuke was asleep after the summoning chant and when he woke up, he just said he failed. It was just that. Nothing more was described.

'The novel is a record so maybe the information of the test was exclusive?' Lucas considered. 'Wait........ rather than thinking about the test, let's find the location first....' Lucas sighed heavily as he got a headache for thinking. He didn't really like those things that needed the usage of his brain.

'I don't know where to find the veteran....'

Lucas really didn't know whether the veteran came to find Ryosuke first or they just met by accident but he remembered one thing. That man had the book, in which the various circles for summoning were described.

'Since the way was only known by that man.... I think I should find him first.'

Finding somebody whom one didn't know the name or face was difficult but for Lucas, he had one way as he didn't know where the man was or lived but he knew a map which could locate things.

'As I expected, it isn't here.'

Lucas closed the hardcover book in tiredness, after which he laid down his head on the desk. The books piled up around the seat where he was sitting, making it impossible to see Lucas if one just came into the library from the front door.

"Shall I put the books back, master Lucas?" Tus asked Lucas who was sighing while shoving the books away as if he didn't want to see them anymore.

"Yes, please Tus..."

Lucas just looked lazily at Tus who was replacing the books that Lucas had read one by one. Not after some seconds, Eura came into the library with a tray, on which was a cup of coffee. As she placed the cup in front of Lucas, she noticed the worn out looks in Lucas's eyes.

"Haven't found what you are looking for, Lucas?"

"No...." Lucas immediately took a sip of the coffee, refreshing himself from tiredness which he got from scanning the pages.

"You should take a rest, master Lucas." Tus had just finished putting the books back to the shelves, walking back towards Lucas as he reminded him. "What about continuing tomorrow?"

'I am not even tired, yet.' Lucas thought as he had no reason to get tired from just skimming a few books which contained the pictures of maps. He was just feeling hopeless from thinking of the reasons to go back to the capital.
