Chapter 260: Teaching Summoners
I"m exhausted from playing with the children. Then, when it"s time for dinner, the group of wives, maids, and butlers, prepared the dinner. Since Albert also brought the n.o.bles he can trust, there are a lot of maids and butlers. Albert has already auditioned everyone, including the lovers and servants of the partic.i.p.ants, if they can be trusted. Luckily, everyone is clear.
Some of them who has earth element, started practicing with the other to built shelters. When they found out that they are too weak alone, some suggested to cooperate with the others. Which is good.
I never forced anyone to do everything by themselves. If one person can"t do it, then the people will do it. if two can"t then three. And that"s how we have enough shelter for everyone. As for those who bring their families, they went to built a small shelter enough for their family.
Most of them only have enough ability to make a shelter that can stand for just one night]Which mean they need to rebuild it again tomorrow. I hope once the training camp end, they can build even stronger shelter.
As for other elements, we only teach them about magic control at the moment. As for the practice, we"ll do it tomorrow. I will also teach those with summoning element and air element tomorrow.
There aren"t many partic.i.p.ants with either one of those elements, so I will teach summoning element tomorrow. As for air element mages, they will learn their other element first. It"s good that no one here only have one element like Lina who only has summoning element.
As for the numbers of summoners here, there are only seven of them. And for air mages, only two.
There are several healers in the group as well. They will be taught by Kayla. Although some of the healers, and even some other mages here, are one level higher than the teacher, or maybe higher, no one seem to complained. I guess it"s because Albert is here and it"s the first time that they learned such knowledge.
The knowledge we will teach them are from my future knowledge where magic control is known, and from knowledge from the past mages we learned from Javier.
After the dinner, most of the people choose to rest since we have nothing scheduled for the night. As for me, I sleep in the wild, with Blobby as my sleeping bag. That"s enough for me.
The next day, it"s finally time for everyone to learn about what their magic can do. But first, I need to show them a demonstration first.
I gathered everyone, including those who are not summoner.
"Alright, summoners please step forward!"
Seven people stepped forward. 3 of them are males, and the other four are females.
"I called everyone here to tell everyone something which seven of you can learn. It"s about summoning magic. There"s not much I can teach, so just one day should be enough to cover everything you need to learn. First, is this!" I grabbed a Pear-y fruit from a bag.
Before the training camp, I explored the Monsters World and harvesting more of these fruits. As of now, I"m fine even if I"m being surrounded by dozens of those monkeys protecting these fruits. And I keep gathering these fruits for these moments where I can give them to people I can trust. Or people Albert believe we can trust at least.
"This fruit is called Pear-y fruit. As for the reason why I introduced this fruit to you all, is to show you its effect to summoner. If other mages eat these fruits, nothing will happen. But for summoner, this fruit is great. If you eat this, whenever your level raised, you will be able to make contract with another monster. But it can only affect for leveling up twice. Which mean if you"re a beginner level summoner, you can make contract with two other monsters when you reached intermediate level. But if you ate this when you"re an expert level, you can only make a contract once more when you reached master level. As a proof, here"s my first summon that you already know, Victoria."
I summoned Victoria who was with other girls to in front of me.
"Then, next is my second summon, Shelia."
After summoning Victoria, I summoned Shelia. I already informed the Werewolves about what I"m planning. Of course those battle addict monsters agree to join the training camp.
Once Shelia appear in front of everyone, the people watching were shocked even though that I have just told them the truth. Am I that unreliable that no one can believe me? I"m sad…
"As you can see, I have two contracted monsters. And I"m a summoner, not a tamer who can do that right away. I"ll give you seven each one fruit. Tell me if you have raised your level twice so I can give you another fruit later."
I gave each of them a fruit, and they quickly devoured it. Why so impatient? It"s not like they will increase their level today.
"Next is what I have shown everyone here. Portals. As you might have guessed, I can open a portal connecting my location with my contracted monster, or part of my contracted monster. Which is how I can make a portal to many different places since I used Victoria"s clones as the destinations. But other than that, there"s one more place where you can connect a portal. It"s called Monsters World. Which is where summoned monsters came from. Unlike tamers who can only tame a monster in this world, summoner need to summon a monster from another world to make a contract with. If you unsummon your monster, they will return to their world. And you can open a portal to your monster. But if your monster is here, your portal will connect randomly to that world."
I wait patiently until everyone understand. No way everyone could understand about Monsters World right away, right?
"Which mean, you can forcefully make a monster to be your contracted monster by going to that world. You can open a portal to that world, and make a contract like how tamer did it. That"s how I made a contract with Shelia here. By the way, although she looks like human, she"s a Werewolf. I made a contract with her by defeating the Werewolf King, and I ended up becoming the Werewolf King. All the Werewolves in that tribe will follow my lead. And I asked them to come join us in this training camp."
I opened a portal to the Monsters World, and Werewolves coming out of the portal. Just about ten of them. With just this much, I have shown everyone here how strong I am. I can summon an army of Werewolves anytime I want.
"Well, for the summoners, you don"t have to force yourselves to do it like me and become the king of a species or a tribe. You can make a contract with any monsters you like. And for these Werewolves, you can ask them to accompany you in a spar. This way, everyone will know how much progress they make. Werewolves, in the spar, don"t kill anyone. They are all our allies." I ordered the Werewolves to not kill.
"Understand. But this much… do you think we have enough allies?" It was Red who asked after seeing the numbers of people in the training camp.
"It will never be enough until we"re sure we can destroy the cult. They have the power to destroy this world, and Monsters world after all. We can never be sure and can only grow stronger." I replied.
If this number is enough, we would have no problem in attacking right away. Finding the present location of the leader of the cult, and kill everyone related. But when I asked Celestine and Veronica, they both said that this amount of people is just barely cover the amount of one of their factions. The big b.o.o.bs faction, or the big a.s.s faction.
"Alright, that"s it. You are dismissed. From today, you can learn about each element that you have by asking the a.s.signed teachers. As for summoners, come with me."
I finished telling everyone about summoners magic, and the fact that the Werewolves are our allies as well. Then, I gathered the summoners with me along with Lina.
"As you know, you can kill your contracted monster to free a spot. But if you don"t want to you can keep it. It"s better to have a monster that you can bond with after all. Though if you want to get a new monster by killing your previous one, I will help you find a good one by bringing you to Monsters World. Is there anyone here who want to do that?"
Everybody quieted down and no one replied. But soon, everyone shook their head. I guess they have bonded with their monsters.
"Then, once your level increased, you can enter Monsters World to find your next monster. You can ask me to go with you. And if you have any preference, tell me so I can find it before we go to Monsters World. Though if you want to find a monster yourself, it"s fine."
Then, one of the female summoners asked a question.
"Do we need to get a strong monster?"
"No. Even one that can help you in daily life is fine as well. Lina."
With my signal, Lina summoned her two monsters. The sunflower, and the All-seeing Eye.
"Lina"s sunflower monster, Sunny, sometime would help Lina cooking. As for the All-seeing Eye, Elsie, she"s on surveillance duty. To be able to protect my home when I"m away. Although both of them can fight as well. Just get any monster that you think can help you. Is there anyone here who has reached intermediate level?" I asked.
Everyone shook their head. And one man explained.
"There"s no need to. After all, whether we"re a beginner level or even master level, the power of our monsters won"t change. And our other elements are more powerful than the strength of our monsters. But I guess that"s not true anymore since we have eaten that fruit."
"Right. And also, not all monster like that. Victoria gained a new power once I leveled up. And Shirley can get stronger on her own. Each monster is different. I guess for today, I"ll teach you to open a portal to your monster before you open a portal to Monsters World. To do it, you need to…"
Today, I taught the summoners to connect a portal to their monster that has been summoned. Only two succeeded, while the others failed. It"s fine since we have time.
I"ll let them practice on their own tomorrow since tomorrow I will teach the air element mages.
