10.

Chris, who signed a contract with the second summoner after Ray.

The job level also rose to 2 and it seemed like it was growing smoothly.

“Okay. Now that the unicorn is a companion, all I have to do is find the rainbow ore for the midterm assessment.”

-Heehee.

The unicorn cried as if it had something to say to Chris.

“What, Unicorn, do you have something to say?”

-Heehee.

Ray stepped forward and translated the unicorn’s words into human language.

“The unicorn is going to use its special ability to find the place where the rainbow ore is.”

“Oh? Is that possible?”

-Heehee~

This is good news to hear. Honestly, I was at a loss as to how to search through the wide rainbow canyon, but I didn’t know that the unicorn had such a convenient ability.

‘You’re lucky.’

For some reason, it seemed like Chris was on a roll after being struck by lightning.

‘I wonder if the Creator God thinks I’ve suffered so much bad luck that he’s giving me bad luck?’

Chris thinks he should take this opportunity to go to church and ask for blessings.

The unicorn began to use its special abilities to find where the rainbow ore was.

A unicorn that had been circling around for a while, looking around.

Finally, he started guiding Chris and his group in one direction, wondering if they had found something.

Chris and his group follow the unicorn.

A unicorn guiding us through some pretty rough terrain, making it difficult to move while pulling a cart.

“Unicorn, is this the place where the rainbow ore is?”

-Heeelp.”

A unicorn crying as if to tell others to believe in it.

“Yeah, I only trust you.”

After signing with the unicorn, Chris felt like he could vaguely understand what the unicorn was talking about.

The steep slope soon led to an underground cave. Fortunately, there was a lot of luminous moss, so it wasn’t too dark.

Rattle rattle.

Only the sound of the cart echoed through the dark cave.

After moving for a while, a rainbow-colored faint glow appeared in a corner of the cave.

“Oh, is that it?”

The name is Rainbow Ore, so it seemed like it might have some kind of connection.

Chris walked towards where he thought the ore was.

Rattle rattle.

Where Chris had dragged his cart, there was a lot of rainbow ore that gave off a beautiful rainbow light.

“Wow. At first glance, it looks like it could easily lift over 20kg?”

Originally, rainbow ore was an extremely rare mineral, so it was not easy to mine 20kg even after wandering the canyon for two weeks.

The absolute amount was not small, but it was buried here and there in small amounts, so digging up 20 kg at once was nearly impossible.

Even Howard hired several skilled miners to gather rainbow ore for several days.

However, it was an extremely rare case to find a large quantity of rainbow ore weighing 100 kg in one place.

“There are really a lot. But how do I get them all?”

Chris sighs while holding a pickaxe.

As Chris said, there was so much ore that even if you spent half a day mining, you wouldn’t be able to mine it all.

“Master, there are hunters that we tied up earlier. Let’s make them do the work.”

Chris nodded at Lily’s suggestion.

“Oh, there they were!”

Chris and Lily each gave the hunter and dancer a pickaxe.

Luckily, there are only 5 pickaxes.

He was about to mutter something to the hunters, but when the unicorn made a gesture as if it was going to stab him with its horn with a fierce look in its eyes, he shut his mouth and focused on mining the ore.

Five men worked hard all day to mine the ore, and before the sun set, they were able to mine 100 kg of rainbow ore on a wheelbarrow.

“Okay. I think this is enough. Everyone worked hard.”

Chris praises the hunters and ties them up again with rope.

“Reflect on your actions in prison and never do anything bad again.”

The hunter and the dancer were tied up and handed over to the nearby royal guards for violating the rare animal protection law.

“Academy student? You’re really great. You did a great job!”

When Chris revealed that he was an academy student, the Rainbow Village guard came and congratulated him greatly.

“What? I did what I had to do as a student of the Ridelph Kingdom Academy.”

“No, those hunters were illegally hunting rare animals, and we had been trying to catch them for months but couldn’t. Thank you very much. I’ll tell the Academy Director Graham, he’ll definitely get a commendation.”

A situation where doing a good deed brings unexpected benefits.

It was a huge win.

‘People should live well after all.’

After handing the hunters over to the guards, Chris headed to the academy with 100 kg of rainbow ore.

“You collected 100kg of rainbow ore in this short time?”

Professor Berriol is surprised to see the rainbow ore that Chris brought.

“With this amount of ore, what rank would I have gotten?”

“What are you going to do? You are the overwhelming number one.”

It was a shocking situation. Chris Delune was a perennial last-place finisher after entering the Academy. He was always at the bottom.

He passed the midterm exam with an overwhelming first place.

‘You awakened a rare summoner profession, and it turns out you’re a genius? That’s worth paying attention to.’

Professor Berriol saw Chris again in a completely new light.

Two weeks passed and the midterm exam results were due to be announced.

The results were to be posted on the central bulletin board in the form of a wall poster.

Howard is confident.

He was confident that he would get first place.

It was only natural that he had confidence, having spent money to mine 1.5 times the required amount of ore.

but.

Howard didn’t know.

By a great coincidence, Chris canned 100kg of rainbow ore.

Howard looks at the poster, thinking that he must be number one.

[Announcement of midterm evaluation results]

-1st place Chris

-2nd place Howard

The results were shocking.

I spent money to mine rainbow ore, but Chris is ranked higher than me.

Howard goes to see Professor Berriol and questions him.

“What the hell is going on, Professor? Did something go wrong with the presentation?”

“There’s nothing wrong. Chris is the winner of this midterm exam.”

“That’s ridiculous. Professor, don’t you know that I dug up 30kg of rainbow ore? Are you saying that Chris dug up more than 30kg of rainbow ore?”

Howard thought it was impossible. It was hard enough to mine 20kg of rainbow ore, so how could he possibly mine over 30kg?

“The amount of rainbow ore that Chris mined is 100kg.”

Howard is startled by Professor Berriol’s words.

“Is that true? How could that happen? There must have been some trickery involved, and we need to investigate!”

Howard insisted that he should investigate how Chris was able to mine 100 kg of ore, without considering the fact that he had cheated.

“The award ceremony will be held soon, but Howard, since you keep saying you can’t acknowledge it, I’ll just tell you a little bit.”

“Is this a commendation?”

What is this noise?

“Actually, Chris saved an endangered unicorn from illegal hunters in Rainbow Canyon. For that, the Rainbow Village security captain asked Principal Graham to award Chris with a commendation. Our Academy faculty all agreed that Chris should receive the commendation.”

Howard is dizzy with Chris’s unimaginable feats.

“According to Chris, the unicorn became a summoned beast out of gratitude for saving it. But it seems that the unicorn had the ability to find rainbow ore. Luckily, he found a cave with a lot of rainbow ore buried there and dug up all the ore.”

It was as improbable as a novel. Could something like that really happen?

Howard was dazed.

“According to the Academy rules, summoning is considered a summoner’s ability, so Chris dug up 100kg of rainbow ore on his own.”

Howard was so shocked by Professor Berriol’s explanation that he had no choice but to stumble out of the professor’s office.

I lost to Chris not once, but twice in a row.

It was impossible.

Chris was a total piece of shit.

Howard didn’t care about the lower rankings and was thinking about how to defeat Jeremy, the X-Fighter, who was ranked second in the rankings, and Nick, the Dragon Knight, who was ranked first.

But now, Chris was completely behind.

Howard is completely himself

I lost it.

Meanwhile, as Chris achieved an overwhelming first place score in the midterm exam, more and more people began to take notice of him.

Among them were Jeremy Clavill, second in the first-year class, and Nick Galloway, first in the first-year class.

I heard that Howard, ranked third, lost to Chris.

However, Jeremy thought that Howard, although ranked third in the hierarchy, was far behind him and that he lost because he let his guard down easily.

But since Chris did well on this midterm exam, I thought I needed to keep him in check.

“Nick, what are you going to do? I think we should take a look at that guy named Chris’s skills.”

Nick nodded, sweeping his long white hair down.

“Jeremy, you go check your skill level first. If you’re good enough to beat Howard, then you should be able to fight.”

Nick, who was number one in the hierarchy, must have given his permission. Jeremy was planning to properly discipline Chris.
