5.

The Delun family, whose summoners have been revived after 50 years.

With great anticipation, Gaju Lawrence hands Chris the summoning staff left behind by his ancestors.

but.

The one who was summoned was a little kid.

-Krrr.

He was a little kid with sharp teeth.

“Who are you?”

A golden-haired boy looks around at Chris’s question.

“This body is Shine Dragon, Shine Ray. Your ancestors called me Ray.”

“Uh… My name is Chris. But you’re a dragon?”

-Kyaoooo.

Ray showing his teeth.

“The four summoners lack sufficient magical power. They cannot manifest as their main body. This form is a temporary measure to manifest in the present world with insufficient magical power. Summoners should focus more on training.”

Ray, who couldn’t come out in his original form because Chris was lacking.

Chris felt a little embarrassed after hearing the lecture.

“Are you sure it’s Shine Dragon? I can’t believe it.”

Ray seemed a little uncomfortable with Count Lawrence’s words.

“Kyao. Foolish humans. Foolish beings who are swayed only by appearances. I show you a glimpse of my power. Do not deny me.”

Ray motions for them to step back.

“Watch carefully. I hope you won’t make the mistake of denying my miracle three times after seeing it.”

A mass of light was gathering around the two horns on Ray’s head.

Kookookookookook.

The ground shakes with the condensation of tremendous power.

I felt like something amazing was going to happen.

“Oh, Earthquake? What the hell happened?”

Count Laurence is in a state of confusion.

I swallowed hard as I looked at Christie Ray.

-Kreek.

Ray opens his mouth wide.

The mass of light gathered on the horn moved towards Ray’s mouth.

The next moment there was a flash of light.

Kookwakwang!

A huge cloud of dust rose up, making it impossible to tell what had happened for a while.

“Oh, no, the fountain!”

The central fountain was where Ray fired his golden breath.

Where there should have been a central fountain, there was nothing but a barren land.

“Ray, did you do this?”

Ray nods.

He had an arrogant expression on his face, as if he was surprised by everything.

“Not even a tenth of my power is visible. Do not be surprised, people.”

The expression on the face of Count Lawrence, who had been lying down with a bewildered expression, gradually brightened.

“Okay, okay! It’s really amazing power, just like I heard! Okay! Now our Delun family is worry-free!”

Count Laurence approaches Chris and pats him on the shoulder, expressing his delight.

“Chris is the best! He’s my son after all! Hahahahaha!”

Chris’s two younger brothers look at the two people with displeasure.

‘That rascal, Chris, has become a summoner… .’

‘Isn’t it true that Chris will be the successor?’

The two brothers never thought of their stupid older brother as a competitor.

Aide and Laurent.

The two brothers only thought of each other as rivals, and they never considered the scoundrel eldest son Chris. But now, that scoundrel eldest son Chris has gained a huge lead in the race for the succession.

“Krrrr. It’s been 50 years since the Delun family’s lands were built, but nothing has improved. Why do they seem to have even less money? What’s going on?”

As Ray clicked his tongue, Count Laurence remembered his late father scolding him.

“Are you the current head of the family?”

“Yes, yes. That’s right.”

Count Laurence, who is over 40 years old, appears to be struggling with Ray, who appears to be in his early teens.

“Why is the appearance of the spirit land worse than it was 50 years ago? Make efforts.”

“Yes, I will try.”

-Rain, rain, rain.

Ray was enjoying the homemade chocolate cookies Lily had brought him in Chris’s room.

“Does it suit you, Ray?”

“Hmm… It’s delicious. The baker’s skills haven’t declined since the past.”

Ray took each cookie to his mouth with a happy expression and ate them munchingly.

“But Ray. Don’t summoned creatures usually return to their original world after being summoned?”

Chris was uncomfortable with Ray being in the room as well as Lily.

‘I want to rest alone.’

“Chris’s magic power is not enough to summon me. The magic power Jude stored in the staff played a big role in the success of the first summoning. Therefore, now that the staff’s magic power has been completely consumed, it is impossible for Chris to summon me on his own, so he will stay in the present world for the time being.”

“Ah, so that was a profound meaning.”

Lily nods in admiration.

“You are indeed the guardian deity of the Delun family.”

“Krrrr. Keep praising, maid. I like hearing your praise.”

Surprisingly, Ray was a good match for Lily, the maid.

“And I plan to stay at the Delun Mansion and help Chris train.”

“My training?”

“Hmm. I promised your ancestor Jude. I would help the Delun family prosper. But looking at the current situation, the Delun family has lost its second generation of summoners, and now a summoner has appeared. But Chris, your qualifications are not very good. I should help you.”

Since you volunteered to help, I couldn’t say no even though it was annoying.

It was a situation where he planned to develop Christ’s abilities and inherit the land.

“What can you teach me?”

Although she looked like a girl of about 13 years old, she seemed to have some kind of great ability since she was a Shine Dragon.

“This body has lived for nearly 500 years. The knowledge of various academics and magic is on a different level from that of humans. So I will pass that knowledge on to you, Chris.”

If you lived for 500 years, you would certainly be very knowledgeable.

When you say you’ll teach me, it seems like I have to learn.

“I won’t ask for much in return. I’ll only take 100 gold coins a year. And bring me delicious snacks whenever I want. The Delun Territory will cover all the food expenses.”

100 gold coins was equivalent to the annual salary of a knight of average sword master level.

It wasn’t a small amount of money, but it wasn’t something that couldn’t be paid to someone as powerful as Shine Dragon.

“Please give me a room.”

Lily guiding Ray according to Chris’s words.

“Follow me, Ray.”

Ray decided to stay in the spare room.

#

After the weekend, it was time to head back to the academy.

“I will also go to the academy with you. I will closely watch how Chris trains.”

Ray said he would follow me to the Academy.

“Chris. Let me take Ray. I’ll protect you.”

A situation in which even his father, Count Laurence, approves.

Chris, Lily, and Ray rode in a carriage to the academy.

Howard didn’t like Chris.

Howard had been trying to figure out how to tease Chris since he had embarrassed himself in front of Riel Youngae last time.

“Chris took an aptitude test?”

An idea came to me after hearing information from my subordinate, Bill.

“You sure there was a mock sparring class this week?”

“But?”

Bill, the subordinate, asks with a look of what’s wrong with that.

“Bill, say you’re not feeling well and skip class.”

“Yes?”

“I have to teach Chris a sparring lesson in your stead.”

Howard smiled wryly.

“I have to go to the professor right now and tell him that I want to spar with Chris. I have to embarrass him in front of everyone.”

Chris had never taken an aptitude test before and thus had no combat occupation, so he was excluded from this mock duel.

So if Howard wanted to confront Chris, I would have agreed.

Howard’s combat occupation is Royal Knight.

It was ranked among the top classes among combat professions.

There weren’t many combat classes that could beat a Royal Knight in a one-on-one duel.

“Okay. This time, I really have to show off my cool side in front of Riel Youngae.”

Howard lets out a bitter laugh.

“But what kind of combat job did Chris awaken? Shouldn’t we find out and come up with a countermeasure?”

Howard shook his head at Bill’s reasonable opinion.

“That damn Chris, what kind of great job would he have awakened? It would have been just a basic job like a warrior or a wizard. And even if he had awakened a great job, what would it matter if he had no time to level up?”

“That’s right. Howard Young-shik is already a level 3 Arch Knight. He can’t get tired of it. Hehe. ”

#

It’s Wednesday.

Today was actual combat training time.

We made the bracket last week, but Chris wasn’t on the bracket because he hadn’t finished his aptitude test yet and didn’t have a job.

But then the professor called Chris.

“Chris, Bill can’t come to class today because he’s not feeling well. So Howard doesn’t have an opponent, so I want you to spar with Howard instead of Bill.”

A sudden suggestion from the professor.

Howard laughed at Chris.

“Chris. It’s a mock duel, so don’t be too scared. I’ll take it easy.”

Howard looked confident.

“Yes. I’ll try it with Howard.”

Chris surprisingly received the training very easily. Howard was the one who was more flustered.

‘I thought you’d be afraid and not accept it, but you’re a little suspicious?’

“What? You really want to do this with me?”

“What’s wrong, Howard? You seem more scared than anything else?”

Chris chuckles.

The two exchanged challenging glances.
