Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 365: The Art Of Summoning

Since the ground was too big, it took him quite a lot of time to complete one round. By the time he neared his bag, Jonathan was tired and his legs were wobbling.

Name: Jonathan

Race: Elf

Affinities: Stone (Nature)

Vitality: 13

Strength: 24

Agility: 28

*huff*

With a thud, Jonathan fell on his rear and he glanced at the screen. He can see his Agility value and his eyes found the Vitality value.

"I'm losing Vitality a lot quickly. I need to train more to build up endurance."

From the cocktail of memories, Jonathan was able to deduce that the Vitality, his health, could be increased with exhausting activities. The more he can drain himself of energy, the quicker he will be able to get back on his feet. It will also increase his maximum Vitality value by a small margin.

If Jonathan was to keep up this routine, he would end up growing at an astonishing rate!

Ecstasy filled his heart yet it quickly drained away as Lee Shen's cautiousness took control of him.

"Even if I grow, I must keep the face of a newbie. I cannot risk being stalked everywhere I go."

Without thinking anything, he drank water from his pouch and placed it back in his bag. Then Jonathan walked straight to his hostel for a wonderful bath and rest.

"No wonder I'm feeling energetic than usual."

Though the rise in Vitality was two points, the difference was evident in his face. Waking up early, Jonathan was sitting at his favourite spot by the window while observing his status.

The usual breeze felt much better than before and Jonathan's eyes shuttled outside of the window. His eyes fell on the trees and he spaced out for a minute or two.

And it was the triple bell that woke him up from his trance.

"Breakfast."

***

Having breakfast and slipping into the uniform was swift and smooth. While his fellow boys were chatting and wasting time, he exited the hostel and walked to the academic building.

Jonathan was the first student to walk into the classroom but he wasn't the first person to arrive.

"Good morning Jonathan."

Standing near the professor's table was a beautiful woman with unnatural charm. She was like the manifestation of an angel. Jonathan was dazed by her look but something pulled his senses back to reality.

Replying with a simple nod and smile, Jonathan proceeded to his table.

Minutes later, the students began to flow in and all the chairs were occupied within half an hour.

"My name is Millie Rilla and we will learn about Familiar Summoning today."

With these words, the professor was able to bring all the students under her charm. It was a harmless effect as Jonathan felt that he almost saw an aura around her.

"Have anyone read about Familiar Summoning?"

The students vigorously shook their head and indicated that they are hearing the therm for the first time. Jonathan too joined the chorus as he had only heard about this at the initial day assembly.

Professor Millie seemed pleased by the lack of knowledge of her students and she began to explain.

"The True-Gods who ruled the kingdoms and empires were so powerful. Among many things that they have taught us, mortals, Familiar Summoning is the most powerful practice.

Apart from this world where we live, there is another realm completely inaccessible to all sentient beings. It is said that the True-Gods came in contact with the residents of this special realm and allowed them to walk on our world through the process of summoning.

The one who initiates the summoning is called a 'Contractor' and the summoned beast is called a 'Familiar'. The contractor's orders are verdict for them and the familiars cannot hurt humans of their own will.

And finally, they won't die as long as their contractor is alive. Their bond as a companion would break and the familiar would be released from the burden of being contracted again.

The summoning is a unique and individually distinct process. One cannot predict the familiar that can appear before them. But if one is intelligent enough, then they can assume the type of familiar that might respond to the contractor's call. After all, it is directly bound to your soul, your behaviour and your entire being.

There are different types of familiars that have appeared via summoning. It might be tiny or colossal. It could be cute or menacing. It can even be humanoid or ethereal.

There are numerous classifications for the summoned familiars. I shall introduce you to them after your successful summoning."

Millie was a blabbermouth when it came to describing the Familiar Summoning. She repeated the same set of sentences from different perspectives and the students did not realise this.

About an hour have passed and professor Millie brought her lecture to an end.

"Now, shall we conduct your summoning ceremonies?"

The response was an uproar and she was pleased with it. Asking the students to follow her, she walked out of the room and towards a hall which was labelled 'Summoning Hall'.

There were 38 tables orderly arranges and each student was asked to take a position. The students dispersed and selected a table for themselves. Unfortunately, there were no chairs in the vicinity or near the tables.

The golden coloured metal blocks that were placed on top of each table caught the students' attention. It looked plain but if one observed closely, they could detect tiny carvings and diagrams engraved on the block.

There was nothing special about the 12-inch wide, 10-inch long and 4-inch thick metal block except a small portion was missing from its upper face. The carved-in area at the centre of the face was perfect for the student's identity card to fit in.

And it was what professor Millie asked them to do.

"Students, take out your identity card and place it at the centre of the Summoning Stone."
