Chapter 1: Summoning
"No!" Nathan rushed to the bed to check, only to get his chin hit the wooden frame.
"Ouch! You—" Nathan hurriedly clutched his right shin, his eyes closing due to the throbbing pain.
But due to him raising his right leg, he lost his balance. His left foot skipped a few times to counterbalance it, but his pinky toe bumped against the front leg of the bed. "You Mo—"
Tears leaked out of the corner of his eyes as he ended up losing his balance.
He tried his best to open his eyes, glancing at the spot where he would fall. However, his expectation betrayed him again as the only thing he saw was the sharp pointed edge of his wooden table.
There was only one thought in his mind.
\'Why am I so unlucky?\'
He closed his eyes as if he accepted his fate. However, the supposed darkness from closing his eyes was replaced by a blinding white light.
"W-What?!" Nathan was so disturbed by the light that he took several steps back.
Around him stood multiple men and women, who looked like they were in their fifteen or sixteen.
"What is his summon?"
"Wait. Look at that!"
"Above his head."
Nathan felt unfamiliar with their words, but weirdly enough he could understand them. Now that he thought about it, his head felt so heavy.
When he got out of his initial shock, his pupils rolled up trying to see what was above his head.
To his surprise, a wolf head covered in white fur tilted its head down, staring at him with his golden eyes.
"A wolf cub?" Nathan muttered.
Before he could react, laughter suddenly resounded from the left.
"Hahahahaha! It\'s actually a beast? What is this? A failure among failures? You can\'t even summon a goblin?"
Nathan was completely clueless about what was actually going on. His forehead was supposed to hit that sharp edge, but when he recalled it, there was an excruciating pain not only from his forehead but from all parts of his head.
"Khhh!" Nathan clutched his head while gritting his teeth. "Aaaagggghhh!"
"That guy is insane now. Hahahaha."
Nathan looked left and right before rushing to the door.
"He must be crying in tears. What a pathetic loser!" The unknown guy kept mocking him this whole time.
However, Nathan couldn\'t be bothered with it. After all, the stinging pain actually came with a lot of images in his mind. It was the story of a farmer boy who came to the capital city to attend the academy.
Nathan simply searched for the toilet, ignoring the construction of the hall he had never seen before in his life.
As soon as he reached the toilet, he just hid in the corner and closed the door.
"Aggghhh!" Nathan tried to endure such agonizing pain for five minutes.
"Ha... Ha..." He panted heavily; his eyes were blurry. "What? What happened?"
"It seems that you are done," a heavy voice echoed from above his head.
"Huh?" Nathan instinctively raised his head as a small wolf cub jumped off his head, landing smoothly on the ground.
"Who—!" Nathan felt like he was hallucinating as he saw a blue screen appearing out of thin air.
Name: Fenrir
Level: 1
Race: Celestial Wolf
Quality: Basic (Low)
"Why can I see the name of a wolf from Norse mythology?" Nathan furrowed his eyebrows.
"Instead of me, you should focus on yourself."
"And it can speak?"
"Just shut up for a minute and see what you got in your head!" Fenrir opened its mouth, showing its fangs as if he was trying to threaten Nathan.
Nathan wanted to speak but ended up calming down. As Fenrir said, when he saw the memories that entered his mind, the entire picture became clearer.
He, Nathan, was the son of a farmer called Ethan. One day, a man noticed that he had magical power inside his body called Ena. As a result, he was sent to the capital city to receive an education in the Famous Summoner Academy Frexia.
Three hundred years ago, this world was invaded by mysterious beings. Despite their valiant efforts, the humans were losing against them.
However, these mysterious beings were also bringing another thing to this world. It was called Ena. When humanity was on the brink of defeat, people awakened a power that could summon beings from another world.
For some reason, the summoned creatures were all humanoid creatures. The one known for being the lowest was none other than a goblin. There were some strong summoned creatures, such as werewolves, elves, or even dwarves.
Still, it was said that the top summoners in this world were known to have summoned archangels or even divine beings.
After reviewing all the memories he had, Nathan began to calm down. He raised his head and asked, "Does this mean I\'ve transmigrated to another world? No. By the way you spoke, you should have realized this fact as well."
"It seems that you\'re not an idiot." Fenrir nodded. "Indeed, but what I got was just a glimpse of the world you were in. The rest was the knowledge your current body had."
"In that case, why would I summon you?" Nathan felt this was wrong. If all summoned creatures were supposed to be humanoid, why would he summon a divine beast?
"Isn\'t it because of you?"
"Me?" Nathan was bewildered. He contemplated for a second before gasping. "Wait. Do you mean because I came to this world?"
"That\'s the only reason I can think of." Fenrir harrumphed.
"I guess because of his identity, he doesn\'t have a lot of knowledge about this summoner thing. And what is this academy? According to the memory, I seem to be taking an admission test. It\'s split into two: the summoner awakening, which allows them to summon a creature from another world, and the written test.
"From the looks of it, unless I do something special, they won\'t take me in. But if I want to learn more about this world, I need to be in this academy. In that case, the written test is my only way, except for the fact that I\'m just a farmer. I know nothing.
"If I have summoned amazing beings, I would be let in even if I don\'t do anything in the written test. Hmm, what should I do now?"
Fenrir looked a bit surprised. When Nathan calmed down, he noticed that he was more reasonable to talk to. Still, there was one thing that needed to be corrected. "What do you mean you don\'t summon an amazing being? I\'m the divine beast Fenrir!"
"What do you mean an amazing being?" Nathan stood up while pumping his fists. "This is it. This is the romance! In this world where you can summon other beings, isn\'t it a perfect chance to create a harem? Elf, vampire, or even an angel?!"
Fenrir\'s eyes twitched. He took back his praises. "You horny brat! Those are just temporary. Do you want me to bite you?" As he said those words, he pounced Nathan with his mouth wide open.
"Aaahhhh! Stop it, you stupid dog with anger issue."
"I am a wolf!"
