Chapter 1983 Past Origins
"Finally it's my turn."
Angel walked out neatly.
When passing by Nora, he gave her a “reassured” look.
"Hello, Angel-san."
"I really didn't expect you to be able to summon an excellent familiar. It's really... gratifying."
The handsome Kemebo nodded towards Angel and said with a smile on his face.
But in Angel's opinion, these smiles were very hypocritical.
Kemebo is one of the few students in the Flame Academy who comes from an earl family, and he once had contacts with Angel's family.
However, after the decline of Angel's family, these many contacts were immediately severed.
After all, in the aristocratic circle, the earl and the viscount are the same.
A big hurdle is whether he is qualified to be awarded the title of knight.
It can be said that every Earl family has a very large network of connections.
So usually, only others come to please them, and they don't need to deliberately please others.
The best thing to do is to make friends with nobles of the same level.
Because if the earl wants to continue to upgrade his title, he has strict requirements for strength.
A summoner of excellent level is an essential condition.
However, the number of summoners of this level is extremely rare, so there is no need to say more.
In the huge Flame Academy, only two students qualified to become outstanding level summoners have appeared in fifteen years.
Yes, you are qualified to be.
Because an excellent familiar and an excellent summoner are two different concepts.
What the Marquis family requires is a summoner with an outstanding level!
However, even if there are really idle summoners of extraordinary level appearing, then why don't they go to the Marquis family?
If you get a few more and compete for more merit, you might even be able to catch up to the Duke.
Therefore, there is a huge hurdle that is difficult to cross between the earl and the viscount.
But at the same time, the earl is also in a rather awkward position.
Although the network is huge.
However, once you fall to the position of Viscount, these connections may become someone else's.
On the contrary, falling from marquis to earl was not so miserable.
Because both a marquis and an earl are qualified to confer the title of knight. The only difference is that the marquis can recruit a certain number of private troops in his fief.
As for the highest title that a marquis can bestow upon a baron, that is only for knights.
Because civilians cannot directly obtain titles.
Therefore, based on this relationship, Angel disliked Kemebo very much.
However, the problem of following people's influence has always been part of the nature of nobles.
Therefore, Angel would not deliberately target Kemebo, but would actively ignore Kemebo in normal interactions.
I just didn't expect it to be such a coincidence this time.
I happened to meet Kemebo in the battle.
"I can't even call it gratifying or congratulatory. I'm just a little lucky."
Angel responded to Kemebo's fake smile in a nonchalant manner.
You know, after Angel's family fell, Kemebo's reaction was to directly exclude Angel from his social circle.
Although he does a good job on the surface, there is no way to hide the coldness in his heart.
Because an earl and a viscount are different.
There was no need for Kemebo to waste his efforts on a young lady from a declining family.
But now, there is probably hope of seeing Angel's family rise again.
So I started preparing to make friends with Angel again.
"Don't say that, Angel, we played games together when we were kids, have you forgotten?"
The smile on Kemebo's face did not change and he continued.
"Yeah, that was really a not-so-good memory. I'm really glad I've forgotten it."
Angel said unceremoniously.
Now that the previous interactions have been severed, let’s draw a clear line completely.
No need to hesitate here.
"Yes...yes, Angel..."
After being rejected twice in a row, the smile on Kemebo's face could hardly be stretched.
Qi Le, who was watching the battle, was quite interested.
"Okay, don't say anything irrelevant. Students Angel and Kemebo, summon your summoned beasts."
Practical instructors have nothing to do with the business between these families.
So he directly interrupted the conversation between the two and started the process of announcing the battle.
"Yes, mentor."
Kemebo took a deep breath and looked at Angel with a hint of gloom in his eyes.
However, aristocratic etiquette always took up the majority, so it was not shown.
"Summon, Stone Armored Beast!"
With the summoning magic condensed by Kemebo, a nearly two-meter-tall stone-armored beast came out of the summoning magic.
From the appearance, the stone-armored beast has a strong body, covered with solid stone armor all over its body, giving it a full sense of oppression.
Then it can be easily known that the power and defense of the stone-armored beast are definitely not weak.
In fact, the stone armored beast is also one of the low-level earth attribute summoned beasts with very powerful combat power.
If a new summoner can summon a stone-armored beast, it will definitely be the result of luck and strength.
Moreover, earth attribute summoned beasts have very few natural enemies.
There are few particularly obvious restraint relationships.
"Teacher, I'm ready."
Kemebo first nodded to the actual instructor, then looked at Angel and said, "Now, it's your turn, Angel."
"I'll summon you first so you can take advantage."
In a summoner's battle, the side that summons the summoned beast first will indeed suffer a greater loss.
Especially in this kind of competition where only one summoned beast can be summoned, this disadvantage is even more obvious.
Because unless it is an obvious restraint relationship.
Otherwise, the party that summoned the summoned beast first is equivalent to telling the opponent how to deal with it.
It is in this way that Kemebo shows his confidence.
The implication is: Even if you target me, it's useless, you can't defeat me anyway.
Therefore, Kemebo's approach immediately received unanimous praise from the students watching the battle.
"It's truly a gentlemanly thing to do!"
"Is this the etiquette of a great noble? Mr. Kemebo is indeed from a family of counts."
"Now it depends on Angel-san. I don't know if she will save something like Nora-san."
"So what if I left one hand behind? Kemebo-san summoned it, but it's a stone-armored beast. Angel-san will definitely not be able to win."
"Yes, don't you know how powerful the stone-armored beast is?"
