Chapter 4 – Became the Summoning Body of Professor Gothlori
The place I was summoned to was inside a classroom. Students wearing the same uniform were each decorating the same uniform with sparkling decorations.
The one that stands out the most is none other than the silver-haired gothic girl next to me. The students all look at the girl and call her professor.
‘Surely this girl is my teacher who will teach me elemental arts and sex?’
As soon as I saw the girl, the word that came to mind was Lori.
He was short enough to reach my chest, and his chest and hips were underdeveloped. It is a body that cannot be touched by a normal, upright Korean man.
I remember leaving out a lot of money from the reward, but they matched me with a goth loli girl with such a delicate body. I have so many regrets.
“Hey. I think you called me. How can I help you?”
“You just need to help me with my class.”
“If you say you’ll help me…”
“Stay still.”
“…”
He tells me to stay still. So I tried to stay still. Seriously, there’s a goth girl in class. I didn’t pay any more attention. There didn’t seem to be much interest in me, and I seemed to be nothing more or less than just a necessary tool.
“As I said last time, the basis of blood magic is the movement of blood. Depending on the method, it can easily change into water, become a shield harder than steel, or become a spear that pierces the enemy’s heart.”
Red blood appeared on the girl’s palm, and as the class progressed, the red blood created a red shield with a cross, as the girl said, and also created a sharp spear of blood, which was thrown into the air.
“This class is about creating blood magic with the help of summoning bodies, so focus.”
“”Yes! Professor!””
All the students in the classroom looked at the girl while rolling their bright eyes. I was looking forward to seeing if the girl was an instructor at a famous academy. Of course, I, who was there, also received those stares. I didn’t really feel good. What can I say, I feel like a polar bear trapped in a zoo. It was like a supporting role that made the class enjoyable.
“Question here. Port Liang, what is the biggest reason for using blood magic through summoning bodies?”
‘Surprise.’
I was surprised when the girl’s red stick, which she swung sharply, pointed at me, but I stayed calm and pretended as if nothing had happened.
“Blood magic is used to judge and control the abilities of summoned entities!”
He continued his explanation by going back and forth between the student and me, using a red stick like a teaching baton.
“That’s true. But the most important thing is to build a good relationship with the summoned body that suddenly appears. Now, look. When you look at this summoned body, you can see that it is confused as it has come to a world it has never seen before. If it was summoned during a battle, it is an urgent situation. There is no time to explain or talk.”
“That’s right, Professor.”
“This is why blood magic is necessary for summoning. Information is put into my blood and sent to the summoned body. If you know this method, you can overcome an emergency situation.”
The blood flowing like water through the red rod stuck to my face and was absorbed. My whole body tingles for a moment and I feel like something is connected to my head.
-Introduce yourself to the students.
“Introduce yourself to the students…?”
-Don’t just say it, you should introduce yourself. What kind of summoner are you?
“Ah… My name is Park Ja-geun. I’m 23 years old. My occupation is a student.”
-Why were you summoned to me?
“I came because I wanted to learn elemental arts.”
-Spirit magic… It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of it. Of course, it’s a technique I’m familiar with after living for hundreds of years. It’s a good find.
It was surprising to hear a voice from a Gothic girl who kept her mouth shut.
“We have now interacted with the summoned body through blood magic.”
“Wow.”
The mood in the class improved thanks to the goth-loli girl. He showed amazing blood magic, enough to be called a professor. Afterward, classes were conducted through me. As the name suggests, blood magic focuses on classes that use blood.
‘It’s amazing and fun.’
The class was not boring because the class was taught by directly demonstrating blood magic to the students. Even though I came to this world for the first time, the contents of the class were very catchy.
“The time has come so quickly. The next class will explain how to strengthen summoned bodies, so prepare well.”
“”Yes! Professor!””
The blood magic class has ended. Professor Ani, the goth-loli girl, reconnected the red drop of blood to me.
-Please take all books and teaching materials with you.
Following the girl’s instructions, we headed to the place on the table. There, a familiar-looking pentagram appeared, and a book was opened.
‘This is a summoning app.’
It was clear that the professor had summoned me through a summoning app, just like Selina.
– Take care and get out quickly. Students are waiting.
I grabbed the summoning app book and a briefcase seen nearby and followed the girl. As she passed through the hallway, the sound of her shoes could be heard again and again, and other students came out of the classroom.
“Where are we going now?”
“I will go to my mansion.”
“So… Are today’s classes over?”
“Once in the morning and once in the afternoon. My classes are noble, so there is no need for many.”
“Ahaha.”
I tried to force myself to talk to him several times to become friends, but the professor just answered without reacting.
“Then is my job finished?”
“There is still work left to do in the mansion. If you help me with that, it will be completed.”
Perhaps because I wrote down two rewards, I thought there were two things I had to do. The first is to help with class. The second seemed like something to do at the mansion.
“During class, I just stood still. Did it help?”
“There are many who cannot even stand. Wild animals that cannot speak or barbarians who have an intelligent body but have a high nose are also summoned.”
“Definitely… The summoned entities are all random, so it might be inconvenient.”
“I wish I could designate and summon only those who are needed, not once or twice. It is not a good thing to kill a summoned entity with my own hands.”
“Kill. Kill?”
“Summons that do not listen to their masters are worse than useless weeds. Among them, summons that do not listen are the most annoying.”
“Haha.”
Professor Goslori’s personality seemed closer to that of a typical chaebol or aristocrat. I thought the priority was to be careful not to look unpleasant. Because it was said that the summoned body would be destroyed immediately.
He quietly followed her until she reached the end of the hallway. Outside of her, her grandfather, a gentleman dressed in black house clothes, and a carriage with a splendid golden pattern stopped.
“Are you here? Master.”
“Okay, Alfredo. Put your luggage in the back and get in the carriage.”
“Okay!”
First of all, I tried to bring back her memories of when I was a private and show her how to work hard.
As I raised my voice and ran behind the carriage, the professor looked on and snorted.
A gentleman who calls the professor “Master” As he climbs into the carriage, creating bloody stairs. I was definitely called Professor at the academy, but when I saw the name change, I became convinced that I had been summoned by a truly dangerous person.
First, I decided to get busy and act like a useful person as much as possible.
“Summoner, please come to the front once you have packed all your luggage.”
“Okay!”
“No, tell Alfredo to get inside the carriage.”
“I understand, master.”
“Come to work.”
“Yes!”
I climbed the bloody stairs and boarded the carriage, looking inside the spacious carriage.
“Sit there.”
Upon entering, the girl pointed across from her. As she watched her sit, she sat down too.
“We are leaving, master.”
-Clatter.
As the carriage departed, the only sound was the sound of rolling wheels. Since we’re already facing each other, something feels off.
Selina accepted me kindly at first. She was a girl who, according to my common sense, would be difficult to get to know.
‘Let’s just get the reward.’
I gave up trying to get to know the cold and chilly energy and took out my phone from my pocket as if I was on a bus.
“What is it?”
The girl gave me an interesting look. I thought it was okay, but she thought that it wouldn’t be a problem if she got caught.
The phone doesn’t become a weapon like some kind of blood magic, and the only thing that’s special about it is that it comes with a summoning app… Of course, the summoning app isn’t special in front of the girl either. It wasn’t just me who had this privilege, and she didn’t really care since she saw that Selina and other goth loli girls also had it in books.
“A phone is a machine… But in our world, it’s like a book.”
“It’s a phone… It’s my first time seeing it.”
“Nothing special. What’s interesting is that it has a summoning function.”
“So the summoner’s book is in there.”
“Summoner’s Book?”
“The pentagram drawn based on five axes is the summoner’s book. Didn’t you know?”
“Yes, the summoner’s book was suddenly sent to me.”
“Just take a look.”
She was a girl who pretended like nothing was wrong and kept her facial expressions in check, but she was actually curious and asked various questions.
“If you touch it with your finger like this, it moves, enters, and even confirms.”
“The principle is unique. It looks quite difficult.”
“It’s not that difficult.”
I pulled the phone out in front of me and played with my fingers.
“If you look at the icon here, the picture is the same as the summoner’s book, right? If you click on it, you can view it like a book.”
After using it for several years, it was obvious that operating it was easier than lying down and eating rice cake. Of course, it was quite cute to see the girl react in surprise to that simple movement.
“It’s more convenient than magic to move the pages with your fingers without turning them one by one. Does this phone machine have any other abilities besides the Summoner’s Book?”
“Hmm… Do you like singing?”
“I don’t like it that much. It’s annoying when my head rings.”
“Then something else.”
“I’m bored, so try playing it.”
“. I understand.”
Saying you don’t like it and trying it is, after all, like a goth-loli girl.
‘But… What song should we play?’
For a proud girl, song selection seems to be more important than anything else. Depending on the song, my future image will either get better or worse.
First, I didn’t think it was mainstream K-pop. My parents always told me that today’s songs aren’t songs because they make my head sing. I saw the same thing with the girl. Choose songs that resonate with emotions rather than exciting ones.
Umm~~
“It really makes sound.”
Meanwhile, you were doubting my words. If what I just said was a lie, it wouldn’t have been a death sentence, right? Just thinking about it gives me chills.
~~
As the music flowed, the lyrics, music, and the singer’s voice harmonized. The professor was silent and gently closed his eyes.
-I love you forever… I love you…
As the song neared its end, it left a quiet lingering sound. I glanced at the goth-loli girl and a tear rolled down the corner of my eye.
“This is my first time hearing this kind of rhythm and voice. Are there any other songs?”
I laughed to myself at the girl’s reaction. Didn’t you say that the song was annoying? He is a bit of a cool-headed but tsundere-like professor.
-You… You.
“How do you like this style?”
“Hmm. Not bad.”
I can see that he likes her, but since he’s not honest, it’s clear that he’s a tsundere. As I slowly relaxed, I smiled and looked for another song.
Second song. Third song. It passed. Then he pricked up his ears and whispered the lyrics one by one.
These were songs that were ranked in the top 10 on Singer King, which aired on public television, so there was something that touched my heart even though I don’t know much about music. It must have been a huge shock to the girl I met for the first time.
“It’s still good, but I like the song I heard the first time. Play it again.”
“I’m talking about forgotten love. I understand.”
“The title is Forgotten Love. Hmm. Not bad. Who owns the voice?”
“This is singer Kang Mi-hwa.”
“Kang Mi-hwa. You’re a great person. I’d like to meet you sometime.”
“If I get a chance, I will take a picture.”
“Photo?”
“I’m talking about something like a portrait.”
“Okay. Do that.”
Successfully attracting attention with an unintentionally interesting object. If you just saw me as a necessary tool for class, now you can just glance at me to some extent.
“Did you say you wanted to know elemental magic?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm. It looks like there is no magical power at all. It seems difficult to use elemental magic.”
“Magic power.? Is that really necessary?”
“Spirits are also summoned. What they mainly require is their masters’ magical power. They respond to summons by using that as compensation.”
“That’s why I, who don’t have magical power, can’t be summoned.”
Her married wife, Selena, came to mind. At first, she was wary of the looks and reactions, but when she gave the reward she was very embarrassed. I guess she thought she only had to give me magic power, just as she gives magic power to the spirits.
“Magic power is an intangible power possessed by the body, but you cannot feel such power. It is difficult to use ordinary methods.”
“Is there another way?”
“All you have to do is learn blood magic. If it’s not magical power, there is a way to summon it by consuming your own life force.”
“Life… You won’t die while using it, right…?”
“If you first summon a mid-level spirit or higher, you might die.”
Crazy. It meant that you could really die.
“Do you want to learn?”
Do I use my life force to have the spirit clean the dirty room, or do I move and clean the room myself?
I thought about it briefly and then shouted right away.
“I want to learn! I came here because I wanted to learn elemental arts.”
