The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 89 - First Disciple (3)

"What the hell? An awakened middle schooler?"

Three years ago, Gemini's <Awakening Ceremony>! It was the entrance ceremony that determined the levels of Gemini temple recruits.

The crowd murmured amongst themselves.

"He's Chun Sungjae?"

The older Gemini disciples and the generals had gathered there. Chun Sungjae was the topic of conversation in many ways. His age was a factor, but he had aced the entrance test as well. So this awakening ceremony was special. Why?

[Soul Invocation, Spirit Summon Contract]

The Gemini temple decided their ranks depending on the rank of the summoned spirits. The recruits summoned spirits in the awakening ceremony, and this determined their ranks within the temple.

"You said the spirits were divided into slave rank, normal rank, knight rank, high-rank, and lord rank, right?"

"Yes. All the generals(S-ranks) can summon nobles, the high-rank spirits."

"From what I've heard, you need to summon at least a knight-rank spirit to become a high-rank disciple..."

"That's right. Although it's not a 100% correct, it's a good indicator. Last year, a kid summoned a great noble spirit, and it became the hottest topic."

"Oh! A lord-rank spirit might show up today!"

"!"

The generals burst out laughing at the reporter's words.

"Only Saint-rank awakened beings can pull the lord-rank spirits!"

"Even the generals are incapable of that!"

"Uh... I thought you said Spirit Summon has nothing to do with one's current rank and that one's potential determines what comes out."

"You're correct. However, the spirit that showed up last year was too powerful."

"I doubt any rookie this year could beat that..."

Chun Sungjae had indeed rewritten the history of the Gemini temple on that day. But not in a way everyone expected. So what had happened?

"How could someone fail to summon a spirit?"

"He really failed?"

"He failed! Nothing appeared!"

Yes, Chun Sungjae had failed to bring out a spirit.

"My god! He must have no talent! Even the least talented person can summon a normal rank..."

"How did he get first place in the entrance test?"

"Well... He did get a hundred points in the written test."

Of course, Chun Sungjae had worked hard to reach the A-rank in the next two years, but....

"Since he is smart, he can use a different form of magic. However, he has reached his limit."

"He's a talentless pipsqueak that can't even summon a spirit."

Everyone had made fun of him.

However, right now, a solemn man had appeared in front of that very same Chun Sungjae.

[It has been a long time.]

The Gemini disciples foamed at the mouth.

"A spirit!"
