She Professed Herself The Pupil of The Wisemen

V1 ch3

The Forest of Milete was situated near the national borders of the Kingdom of Arkite . And on a meadow inside the forest, a huge pyre was burning . The knights there made sure to fuel it with the remains of the countless goblins killed; at the same time, a dark and thick smoke steadily raised from the fire, as if it were some kind of hellish miasma trying to find its way to heaven .

“Lady Mira… alright, I’ll remember it! But I never thought you’d be someone this talented… a Summoning Expert, huh…”

“Being on that level should be expected, no?”

Mira, the Sage, had left the job of massacring the goblins to her Summoned Knight . Likewise, Graia, Captain of the Magic Clothed Knights, ordered his subordinates to do the cleanup afterwards . They continued their talk, not paying attention to the hard-working knights .

“We may be talking about goblins, but annihilating a group of that size in just a few moments? You must’ve had a pretty amazing teacher to learn magic of this level at your age . ”

So said Graia, while fixing his gaze on the sword being held by the Dark Knight, who seemed like it was waiting for further orders from its master .

“Hmm, well, it is like you said . ”

That wasn’t the case, but she chose to go with his conjecture . It would be too tiresome to fabricate an explanation, so Mira quickly gave a confirmation while seeming quite pleased with herself .

Then, at that time, one of the knights hurried over to Graia .

“Sir, reports are back . The escaped monster has yet to be found . For the time being, our pursuit group will stay here and wait for information from the ongoing search party . ”

“Understood . I’m a bit worried about it, though . It was a species we’ve never seen before… right now we can’t do anything but wait . Well, excluding the search party, I guess we should all return to base . ”

After receiving the news, Graia called for a messenger to transmit his orders . The knight who came to give the reports timidly observed the Dark Knight .

“Curious? That’s a Summoned Armor Spirit, the Dark Knight . ”

Brimming with confidence, and as if trying to sound like Mira, Graia talked with his companion .

“A summon? First we find that weird monster and now this, how unusual… I’ve heard about Armor Spirits but… I never thought they would be this intimidating . ”

“Right? I was surprised too!”

While the two were having this back and forth, Mira was focusing on something weird she heard from them . Why would they treat Summoning as something unusual? Certainly, it wasn’t a class that many people chose to play with . And by the way, even less people played with the Blessings Expert class . But its users were really popular amongst other players, considering its main function of casting healing and supportive spells, something essential to a party . That said, Summoning wasn’t what you would call “unusual to see” .

When this was still a game, each of the expert classes had at least one skill available for use right after being selected . All Summoning Experts started with the 【Contract Seal】 skill . It was the ability to form a contract with a defeated spirit and use it as one of the player’s Summoned Spirit . However, on its own, the skill didn’t hold any offensive power, so the problem was dealing with a spirit first . This fact was the reason the class had a slow start and was considered fit only for experienced players .
