A game where you have to pay to win? But I have a lifespan roulette wheel!

The year 2203 of the Gods and Demons Era.

Monday.

The weather will be cloudy turning sunny.

Nero was slowly putting on her stockings on the bed.

"This day has finally come."

Nero sighed.

Imperial Capital Magic University, the most elite academy in the entire empire.

Basically, all the famous great magicians came from here.

It is the place every magician dreams of.

Today, a very important ceremony will be held at the Imperial Capital Magic University.

A magical world.

There are many ways to attend school.

There is a pumpkin carriage.

Broom, magic carpet.

Even a potion jar with legs spread out.

Among this pile of vehicles.

Nero, walking on foot, seemed somewhat out of place.

Many people who witnessed this scene began to whisper among themselves.

"She's Nero?"

"I really don't know how someone like this got into this academy."

"How did you get in? Look at that figure, that seductive look..."

"Hey, quiet down! Where is the dignity of a mage? You're no different from those lowly commoners."

"They've withdrawn, they've withdrawn."

Such idle gossip.

This happens every day.

Nero's eyes held a hint of sadness.

If we still can't defy fate today...

Where should I go from here?

While I was thinking.

A blond man was followed by several attendants, and a beautiful woman was holding his arm.

Upon seeing Nero, the newcomer's face flashed with impatience and disgust.

"Nero, let me tell you, you are a useless piece of trash who has magical power but can't unleash any magic. You are not worthy of me, the third prince of the empire. I hereby unilaterally declare that our engagement is dissolved."

Upon hearing this...

Nero gave a cold laugh.

"Heh, Prince Falga, you shouldn't be saying that to me, after all, I wasn't the one who arranged this marriage."

Stupid prince.

Why are you telling me about marriage alliances between nobles?

Nero didn't care about the annulment of the engagement.

In any case, with the death of her own mother, she had been marginalized and relegated to a position almost equivalent to that of a servant.

Nero looked at the woman beside the Third Prince, his dear sister Lia, who was looking at him with a provocative expression.

idiot.

Nero ignored the two.

He turned and left.

There are more important things waiting for me today.

Imperial Capital Magic University.

cathedral.

A place that is only opened for important ceremonies.

Today is the day it comes in handy.

New Familiar Summoning Ritual.

The familiars here are not the kind that can be summoned at will and used as cannon fodder.

Instead, they are meant to be a lifelong companion to a magician.

If I had to say something...

It might be similar to the spiritual root test in the cultivation of immortality.

It's like the awakening of talents in various worlds.

The goodness or badness of familiars.

That's roughly equivalent to the maximum potential of a magician.

For example, if a magician summons a dog that can only fart, then that magician can only ever be a magic apprentice.

Nero was born with a high level of magical power.

To put it another way.

Innate full magic power!

At first, everyone thought she was a prodigy.

The emperor also arranged for his third prince to marry her when they were children.

Just to keep this genius under control.

But ~

The path to genius is often fraught with difficulties.

As I grew older, I began to learn magic.

Nero discovered that no matter what kind of magic it was, no matter how hard she tried, she could not unleash a complete spell.

She's a dud with all that magic.

This matter was discovered as soon as it was discovered.

They used to be highly praised.

Now, the harder she falls, the more painful it becomes.

Nero once considered giving up on himself.

However, she discovered in an ancient book that this situation had occurred before.

Before the Age of Gods and Demons, there was once a Squib. Although she could not cast magic herself, she possessed an extremely powerful familiar.

You can still become a powerful archmage!

She still has a chance!

My thoughts returned to normal.

The familiar summoning ritual on the stage is already halfway through.

This is similar to observing the awakening of spiritual roots and talents.

Most people are just ordinary.

Summoning things like owls, hamsters, and toads.

Not surprising.

soon.

Then it was the Third Prince Falgar's turn to summon.

The third prince didn't have any particularly outstanding qualities when he was young.

However, as he came into contact with and learned magic, it was discovered that his learning speed was astonishingly fast; it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as cheating.

natural.

They are also the main focus of today's familiar summoning.

It was my turn.

The Third Prince confidently stepped onto the summoning platform.

With a stylish toss of his head, his golden hair shone brilliantly.

"A traveler who shuttles between reality and dreams, listens to the pulse that originates from the depths of the soul."

With my blood as the catalyst, and your oath as the witness.

As the moon recedes and the starlight converges...

Across that endless sea of ​​ether, answer my call.

It is not in the name of master and servant, but in the promise of our fellow practitioners.

Reveal yourself, my companion whose destiny is intertwined with mine!

As the Third Prince chanted the incantation.

An enormous magic circle began to appear on the summoning platform.

It's like witnessing the awakening of a spiritual root, where different lights appear.

The matter of summoning familiars.

The size of the magic circle can also serve as a reference.

The owl that was summoned before was probably just a magic circle the size of an ordinary dining table.

The magic pattern is simply a six-pointed star.

And this summons from the Third Prince.

The size of the magic circle alone almost covered the entire cathedral.

The complexity of the magic circle.

This is unprecedented.

Young magic apprentices who haven't yet summoned familiars will feel dizzy if they just stare at one of the magic runes for too long.

The mages responsible for maintaining security at the scene were also on high alert.

A summoning ceremony of this scale is unprecedented.

The Third Prince looked at the enormous magic circle that appeared before him.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

In truth, I was already overjoyed.

Sure enough, I am the chosen one!

This is the kind of treatment a protagonist should receive.

As the magic circle operates.

A huge golden figure slowly emerged.

Everyone watching gasped in astonishment.

"This...this is..."

"No way, is that a dragon?"

"No, it's not an ordinary dragon. Look at its color, it's a golden dragon!"

"What?! It's a golden dragon! Legend has it that the familiar of the God of Magic was also a golden dragon. This Third Prince's familiar is actually a golden dragon!"

"hiss……"

"It seems the eldest prince's position is in jeopardy."

The familiar summoned by the Third Prince Falga was actually a giant dragon!

It's the legendary dragon among dragons, the golden dragon!

After Falga made a pact with the golden dragon.

Looking down at the new students.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to make an announcement here."
