74. Invitation
The soul stone shattered, and light began to emanate from Empress’s body. Realizing that magical energy was boiling in her body, she looked down at me with a look of disbelief.
“What is this… … .”
Her body is already finished. A complete body that has grown by scraping all the way to the bottom of their talents. I thought it was impossible to grow beyond that.
But now, her body has grown once. The amount of magic power increased, and the quality and density became thicker.
Roughly calculated, the previous 10%, that is, 10% became stronger. Growth at a level that doesn’t make much sense in the lower stages, but from the standpoint of a strong person like her?
‘It crossed the wall.’
The path of the Archmage that I thought would never be crossed for the rest of my life. it started to show And it was none other than Ian’s ball.
“What happened?”
“yes?”
“How… I’ve never heard of anything like this.”
“What, you didn’t know?”
Ian looked at Empress and made an expression as if he didn’t know about this. Hundreds of years ago, she was called a sage and had heard that she had all the knowledge in the world. … .
“… Yeah, I didn’t know.”
I had to admit that. What Ian did was beyond common sense.
After hearing Empress’s words, Ian picked up his ears as if it was too cumbersome to explain once again and simply explained.
“What do you think of the summoning system?”
“It’s a summoning system… Are you talking about the summoning ceremony? That’s what allows God to summon the heroes of the past for the people of this age… .”
“So, you thought it was simply bringing the dead, dead heroes back into the world?”
“-no?”
“There is no such thing as a system. This is something that was made to catch the Demon King.”
And the Demon King was a formidable enemy that threatened even the seat of God. If it was a problem that could only be solved by summoning the heroes of the past, the heroes of the world would have defeated the Demon King in an instant.
reality? The first emperor, who was a 5-star Summoner, only stopped making the Demon King back down.
“You cannot defeat the Demon King if you remain as strong as you were while you were alive. So what should I do?”
“… Are you stronger than before?”
“answer. If not, why would there be such a troublesome system of making a contract with a summoner?”
With the help of the summoner, the summoned beast manifests and becomes stronger in the modern age. So that I can defeat the Demon King.
There was no need to create such a troublesome system if the summons only maintained the power of their previous lives.
It would be more efficient to simply resurrect the heroes so they don’t die.
“… I’ve never heard of such a thing. Line never said anything like that.”
“line?”
“The first emperor. His nickname was Line.”
Empress said that and looked at Ian with a look of disbelief. The first emperor, Reinhardt, was a kind of singularity.
A singularity that saved humanity and made it possible to unite as one.
The beasts he left behind still honor him and support the country he built.
And- again, in this country that was created, a singularity appeared. A being who can evolve a summoned beast to target the demon king’s head.
Is this really a coincidence? Empress didn’t think so.
“Yeah- good or bad, it will all end.”
“What else is that… .”
“Okay, Summoner. I’ll give the summoner my real name in particular.”
tell me your real name Upon hearing this, Ian opened his eyes. This event must be an event that only triggers after you have a good feeling with her, although I didn’t quite understand that it was already opened -.
“My name is–.”
Empress whispers her name in her ear. It was a name he knew well in the game.
Empress, who opened her mouth slightly from her ear, carefully looked at Ian as if she had heard it, and Ian shook her head in the sense that she had heard it well.
“Know that a witch tells her true name… … .”
“You’re giving up your life.”
“… I know you well, Summoner.”
Hearing Ian’s words, Empress looked at him with a slightly surprised expression. To have known this fact, I knew a lot more useless knowledge than I thought.
Do you see that you know the secrets of the summoner that others do not know, or do you know the knowledge of witches that have now been forgotten?
It wasn’t anything unusual. her summoner.
“Are you doing well in the future?”
Empress said so and smiled lightly. Ian immediately canceled the summons as if his business was over.

There are times in the academy that everyone, including cadets, looks forward to and looks forward to.
right on vacation.
A few days have passed since the final exams, and now the children are on vacation.
“Where are you going to play?”
“I heard that the lake there is so pretty… .”
The conversation was so light that it was hard to believe that the cadets carrying the fate of the continent were doing it, but rather, the children took such luxury and entertainment for granted.
What’s the problem with them wanting to enjoy and play in the land they have protected?
As I said, there was no problem at all… When Ian saw that, he wondered if this world was really dangerous enough that the sand could be destroyed tomorrow, or if people were dying every day at the forefront.
‘Well, if you think about it, Korea is the same.’
If you think about it, Korea was not an easy country. In a country where there is a ceasefire where there is no chance of war, did the soldiers embezzle the defense budget and the people demean the soldiers?
After thinking about it, the cadets who laughed and talked when they went out to play were fairies.
At least I don’t curse the summoners who block demons on the front line.
“Ian, do you have anything to do during vacation?”
“… no.”
Shira approached Ian, who was sitting still, and tried to make good use of the advantage of being in the same class to make a contract with him.
If I left this classroom right now, there were not a couple of bullyeoshis who would come to monopolize Ian even for a moment.
“okay? Then why don’t you come to our estate this vacation?”
“I don’t think that would happen.”
“… What if you have nothing to do?”
“yes. But our estate is in a very rural area. I went there. … .”
“ah… Well, then there’s nothing you can do about it.”
hahaha- Shira smiled hard and shook her head as if she couldn’t help it. Of course, he wouldn’t have been able to contain his anger if he had promised to visit another woman’s estate instead of going to mine.
Then, I wondered if I couldn’t meet Lee Ahn during vacation, and Shira thought that it was so regretful that I decided to stick with Ian as much as possible now.
Shiira, who had been talking a lot with Ian in preparation for the upcoming vacation, ended only after the homeroom teacher came in.
“… As you can see, there are guys who think it’s vacation already. You have a few days left on vacation. Don’t forget that.”
“Yes.”
“And- the academy is not open during vacations. So that those who are leaving can count their time well and come back.”
Saying that vacation is still far away, Oliver told us in advance of any mistakes that might occur during vacation.
After the final exams were over, the children were on vacation and were working out as soon as they were released.

After class, Ian, who was heading to the dining room, frowned when he saw the blue mass in front of me.
“aan-!”
“… Ayre-senpai.”
“I’m sorry last time!”
Heh, seeing her apologizing proudly while breathing out a runny nose, I wondered if that was the attitude of apologizing.
However, Ian, well aware that there was no malice in herself, was satisfied with that apology.
yes what Isn’t it better than the guys who made a mistake and didn’t even apologize?
Ian asked her who suddenly appeared.
“What are you doing?”
“yes! Take this!”
Saying that, Ayre held out a letter. Ian, who was handed the letter, read the word “invitation” on the envelope and sighed in admiration.
The words on the envelope were beautiful handwriting that could be called a work of art.
Curious about who wrote it, Ian asked her the owner of this typeface.
“Who wrote this?”
“Did I write it?”
“… Did your senior write something like this?”
Wasn’t this guy an idiot? In shock as if betrayed, Ian carefully opened the letter.
As if it wasn’t just the cover that paid attention to, the inside of the letter had all kinds of rhetoric written in beautiful handwriting.
What the dizzyingly embellished words mean is that you are finally inviting yourself to Ayre’s dormitory today.
“The maid wrote the script, didn’t it?”
“Excuse me! I know how to write, too!”
“No, but this is… .”
Isn’t it beyond imagination? While doubting that she might be a genius who plays an idiot, she was so angry that she folded her arms again and turned her head.
“If you keep doing this, I may not invite you!”
“… Have you already given me an invitation?”
“oh.”
Ayre, realizing that it was a shame for a noble to take an invitation once and then break it, and that he could not take the invitation again, he hurriedly opened his arms as if there was nothing he could do about it.
“Hey, are you going to look at me just this one time?”
He couldn’t understand what he was looking at, but Ian nodded as if he understood.
“Anyway, do you have to come? Understand?”
“When?”
“It’s written there! did i handed Will you be angry if I don’t come?”
Saying so, she hid behind the scenes saying that she had to go get ready for the party.
Ian, who was wondering when the replacement schedule was so rushed, looked at the time written on the letter and nodded.
─Why don’t you come to my house for lunch today?
“… … Who’s giving out lunch party invitations to lunch?”
