Actually, I didn’t really think that I would be able to win the fight against the wolf I encountered every time I took the summoning magic class. Of course, the fight between a wolf and a wizard is different, and I thought subduing them would be more difficult than I thought.

That’s why the wolf in the snowy mountain I was facing now had its claws exposed towards me. I could win, I could kill. However, what kind of area is the area called suppression? Is it okay to simply overwhelm with force?

Because it was a snowy mountain, the range of magic I could use was wider than I thought. I thought that even the snow scattered around could be used.

I made eye contact with the wolf, which exposed its claws towards me. A wolf with silver fur, I’ve already learned how to relieve its power, but I don’t know how far I can use it, so I slowly opened my mouth.

“Ice, rise up.”

With the spell, the cold air around me slowly began to freeze the water in the air. And slowly, the surrounding snow and ice crystals began to swirl around my body. First, we should try an experiment.

Therefore, I waved my wand and spoke a spell.

“Freeze.”

And at the same time as I cast my spell, the cold that was circling my body quickly moved towards the wolf, and the wolf bared its teeth at the cold flying towards it and threw itself at me. The moment the wolf and the cold collided, the wolf’s body slowly began to freeze.

This will be the limit, so you can use about half of your current mana.

With a thought in mind, I deployed several shock spells around me and opened my mouth, firing them at the wolf.

“Surrender.”

I could feel my skills improving. Because it wasn’t that difficult. And now, as I faced the wolf crouching in front of me and looking up at me, I felt it again. It wasn’t in this position at first. Wouldn’t it be funny that I changed so much in a situation where my head could have been ripped off if I made a mistake?

So what should I do after this? I just looked at the wolf, and the wolf was also looking at me. I lightly put my left hand forward, thinking I should at least hold out my hand, and the wolf placed his hand on top of mine, and at that moment, I felt a warm warmth. They say there isn’t much difference between a wolf and a dog, but it’s just that the dog is bigger. And at that moment, I heard a voice in my ear.

[Would you like to make a contract, wizard?]

I cautiously opened my mouth, wondering if this might be the master/slave contract that the summoning magic professor had mentioned.

“That’s why I came here.”

[Then, I swear an oath of obedience to the victor. My name is Lu, and I declare that I will serve you from now until your last breath.]

“My name is Astan, please take care of me.”

And at that moment, the wolf’s body sparkled, becoming a small cloud of light and moving towards my body. The moment the wolf’s light touched my body, I felt a strange warmth. Is this the end?

While I was thinking about that, I looked at the snowy mountain and felt like there was someone standing there. Didn’t I say this was my inner self? I felt like there was a man standing there on the snowy mountain looking down at me.

The moment I cautiously tried to move towards the snowy mountain, the world in front of me began to turn white with a huge snowstorm.

The moment I barely opened my eyes and looked inside the blizzard, as if telling me not to come closer, I felt like someone was watching me.

There was someone there, and I couldn’t easily erase that feeling.

“It was our first summoning magic time in a while, and we both succeeded in signing the contract. Now, in future summoning magic classes, I can become friends with my familiar like other kids.”

“I don’t think it will be easy to become friends.”

At my words, Sharon put down the spoon of soup she was eating and looked at me.

“What did your familiar say?”

“Wolf, a wolf with silver fur living in the snowy mountains.”

“Still, I’m glad it’s a wolf, I’m a golem. It doesn’t make sense. He can only say strange things and keeps moving his hand to ask me to pat his head, but I don’t know what to do.”

“Still, we succeeded in signing the contract.”

“When I got close to destroying the core, I automatically took a knee, but if I made a mistake, I would have almost destroyed the core.”

As I was saying that, Ceresria cautiously came over and sat next to me, and I looked at Ceresria and opened my mouth.

“It’s later than you thought.”

“I talked to someone for a moment on the way.”

“I think Ceresria has already become very close with her familiar, isn’t she?”

“Well… … I didn’t have time to call my familiar and talk to him often, since I had already pledged my loyalty, and the familiar ultimately grows according to the skill of the wizard who raises him, so it’s not that important. Because I am not a being who fights as a familiar like a druid.”

“After all, a princess is a princess, proud.”

“Isn’t that something you, a nobleman, would say?”

As I was slowly eating the sliced pork in my mouth as the two chatted, I heard Ceresria’s question.

“So, did you hear the story?”

“What are you talking about?”

“There is a rumor that Isabel senior headed to the Sea of Charon.”

“Senior Isabel is someone who will survive even if you go to the Sea of Charon. You’re the strongest in 5th grade.”

I nodded slowly at Sharon’s words. If there was anyone who could defeat Isabel-senpai, it would probably be the Demon Lord. No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of anyone who could defeat Isabel-senpai. He is a person named after the goddess of death, so there is no way such a person would be easily defeated.

“I know that, but aren’t you curious as to why you went to the Sea of Charon? The Sea of Charon is still a place where monsters are born and die. If you are looking for the most dangerous place in Jingara, it is the first place to choose. Senior Isabel has already defeated monsters in the Sea of Charon, but it is still a dangerous place.”

“Is it because of the Demon King Army recently? Even though I already received a call from my family during the holiday, the Demon King’s army has appeared and is recruiting soldiers to subdue it.”

“The same goes for Araelia. Originally, demons often invaded the northern part of Araelia, but recently they invaded on a large scale. It is also said that Isabel senior talked about the demon lord’s army in the palace.”

“The world is very scary.”

Ceresria nodded and smiled at my words.

“So, shouldn’t we become stronger?”

“My heart is pounding.”

I smiled slightly at Sharon’s words and opened my mouth to her.

“Before that, you have to prepare for the exam. The first semester exams will be soon.”

Naturally, since it was an academy, there were exams, and with so much work going on recently, it was also natural that the exams were not far away. After the exam, there is a vacation.

When vacation comes… … I would go back to my hometown, but I didn’t really want to go there. I thought I would rather stay at the academy and practice magic.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not the type of person who works like everyone else or goes home on holidays, so I’m studying more than you.”

“I’m curious what the academy’s exam will be like. I have no worries as long as it’s only based on my magic skills… … ”

“How about asking your seniors? Because there are many close seniors in Astan.”

“They are not the ones to tell you.”

Whether it’s Erica senior or Leonard senior, if you ask them, they are people who will tell you to work hard, but they are not people who will tell you anything else.

At least it’s Chloe’s senior… … Senior Chloe must have passed away now that the spy has been caught… … Senior Isabel said it would be difficult to meet her for the time being… … The only seniors left at the academy are senior Erica, senior Leonard, and senior Arkadin… …

“Still, why not give it a try? When I ask professors, they all say the same thing, ‘If you just do well as usual, there will be no problem.’”

“If I had the chance, I should have met Erica at least once.”

“I heard you went to your hometown for the holidays?”

“Sir, how do you know?”

At my words, Senior Erica laughed out loud and looked at me, leaning her back against the academy’s main gate.

“There are rumors all over the academy? Seeing as Celestria also said that she went to Araelia, she must have gone with her, right?”

“I had work to do in Araelia, and while I was there, I also went to my hometown.”

“It was business for Araeli, and since he moved with the princess, it must be the royal family’s business.”

“It’s difficult to give details, but nothing special happened.”

Senior Erica looked at me and smiled softly.

“So, you found me? If that was going to be the case, I shouldn’t have found it earlier. Now I can’t hold on to people going to work for long.”

“Not a big question”

And I held the cane in my right hand, and the senior was looking at me with curious eyes, as if my appearance was interesting.

“I have succeeded in imitating your magic to some extent, but I am still unable to summon ice directly from a specific location like you did. Are you sending out cold air to freeze the water in the air and use it as ice? If not, is it really at that exact location? Are you summoning ice?”

“Well, both methods are correct, but if you copied my magic, wouldn’t you feel something?”

“I feel like he is summoning ice to that location. Do I need to use coordinate magic to do that?”

“Are you planning on specifying the coordinates of every location before fighting?”

“… … That means no.”

“The first method you mentioned is to send out cold air and freeze the water in a specific location to use it as ice. That becomes the medium, and then summons ice on top of the ice created in that way.”

“It’s a mixture of the two, I understand.”

Then, the senior smiled at me.

“Try practicing holding in the cold. Rather than wrapping the cold around your body and freezing water right before a fight, wrap the cold around your body at all times and release it whenever you want. If you get used to holding in the cold, at some point, you will immediately be able to hold back the cold. Because you’ll get used to making it with ice”

I carefully bowed my head and expressed my gratitude to my senior.

“And coordinate magic is a magic that makes you remember, and does not designate a specific location. As long as you can make this view you are looking at right now into coordinates, coordinate magic is not important.◦# ◦
