As Jillia introduced the subject of todays lesson, I heard the class let out a collective gasp of excitement and pure happiness. Even Felix looked quite excited for this lesson, however when he looked over to me — about to whisper something, his expression changed to slight concern as he saw my expression to the news. I wasn't very excited for todays lesson, in fact, one could say that I was kind of terrified of todays lesson.
Familiar Summoning is based on someones maximum magic output - aka, the amount of magic an individual has inside of their body. If they have a low amount, the familiar will be weak. If they have what is considered an 'average' amount, they'll have an average familiar — one suited for combat, support, scouting or anything else. If they have high amount of magic, the familiar will be quite strong, potentially being strong enough to take on armies alone.
If they have 'extraordinary' amount of magic, the familiar can end up being something as powerful or even more powerful than a Behemoth or even a dragon. And anything beyond this 'extraordinary' level of magic has been unperceived by the humans, as that is only really something achievable by the leaders of the Kingdoms and other powerful individuals such as Merlin or Lancelot.
With all of this in mind, you can see why I was nervous and even terrified about the familiar summoning. As the Demon King of Sins, my magic amount was.... Well, to call it outrageous or even 'Godly' would be an understatement.
If I tried doing the Familiar Summoning ritual, I could end up summoning something absurdly powerful that would draw even more attention to me than I already had or even end up not summoning anything as I imagine there is no familiar fit to stand next to the literal Demon King of Sins himself.
Worst part of all of this? I had no control over this process at all. Since the ritual is based on your magic amount and there is no way to cheese it, if I do the ritual, the results cannot be altered - So I am unable to just cheat it and summon a weak creature as my familiar.
Sure, I could probably get around this by sneakily using regular 'Summoning' magic instead of Familiar Summoning, but that would be spotted immediately — also, you are unable to form contracts with regular summoned creatures, which makes this method impossible anyways.
I kind of zoned out a bit in class, as the Teacher went on to start explaining the theory, history and methodology behind the very concept of 'Familiars' and the ritual needed to summon them. Of course, I already knew all of it — partly because I remember it from my time playing the game, partly also because I had time to read more up on during my free time over the years. Yeah, surprisingly, despite being the most feared figure across the heaven and earth — I had a lot of free time.
Probably because everyone was too scared to even approach me — even the gods were terrified of me.
The lesson went on as normal, with everyone paying attention - yada yada. However, I did notice every minute here and there some of the students throwing slight peaks towards me — as if they were afraid of me for some reason. I thought about it, and eventually came to the conclusion that perhaps, on the off chance, my classmates were expecting me to end up summoning something insane due to my... 'Little display' at the practical magic test.
And you know what — their worries were not misplaced yet. I wasn't sure on what would happen once it came to actually summoning familiars, what on earth would I end up summoning?
Not that long after, the teacher had explained all there was to explain about familiar summoning and now had put out a showcase on her table for us. Just so we would get an idea of how to do the ritual for the familiar summoning, she decided to show it to us and throughouly explain it all.
Jillia: "Alright, now then — I want all of you to watch closely to what I am doing. It is very important that you do not mess up the ritual in any way, shape or form. Even the tiniest of mistakes could lead to some disastrous consequences if we're not careful."
