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

Ok.

This was announced.

Nero could figure it out even with his ass.

This idiot has done far too many stupid things.

really.

next moment.

The third prince then uttered those words.

"I am officially announcing the dissolution of my engagement with Nero. The only person I have ever loved is Leia!"

These words were spoken.

Lia, who was summoning her familiar after the Third Prince, immediately covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Lord Falga..."

"Lia, don't worry, I've summoned the golden dragon now, Father won't stop us anymore."

This scene.

Many young, love-struck individuals are unaware of the inside story.

I was instantly moved.

They all cheered for the Third Prince.

But~

Summoning the golden dragon is still a big deal.

The school immediately reported it.

Falga also left quickly under the principal's guidance.

The rest of the ceremony was handled by the vice principal.

The problem is not big.

The next summoner.

Leah.

They had just witnessed the grand spectacle of Falgar.

Everyone thought that no one could surpass him in the Familiar Summoning competition this year.

They can't even do that.

but!

After Leah finished reciting the spell.

Duang!!

It was another huge magic circle.

"No way? No way???"

"What's that noise???"

"No? Why? Lia already has the Third Prince, such a happy life, and now she's summoning a familiar with such a big commotion. What window did God close for her?"

Lia watched as her summoning ritual was also quite grand.

He sneered inwardly.

My dear sister.

I never imagined that the familiar that originally belonged to you would be so powerful.

Unfortunately, all of this has now benefited me.

Oh ~

It's not just your familiar.

Even your fiancé is mine now.

Ha ha ha ha! ! !

With the evolution of magic circles.

A holy light appeared.

Unlike the Third Prince's golden light, hers was a pure white radiance.

The next moment, an incomparably holy figure appeared in the center of the magic array.

"this……"

"Is that a unicorn?"

"No! It's not an ordinary unicorn, it's a Pegasus unicorn! Look closely, it has wings!"

"Hiss, it's actually a legendary mythical beast! A familiar that only appears in legends! It actually appeared today!"

"Wow, compared to the golden dragon, who's stronger?"

"I don't know, but it has extraordinary historical significance."

"Holy crap, why is she so lucky? First, she got a powerful confession from the Third Prince, and then she even summoned the legendary Pegasus Unicorn. This is practically a chosen heroine's script. Waaah, I'm so envious I don't want to say it again."

Those two bastards.

The summoned familiars are all so powerful!

Nero felt that he might never have any hope of turning his life around.

They still play like this, damn it.

but.

Reality is not a game.

It's not like you can just not play if you don't want to.

After Lia came Nero.

However, Leah had already been taken away.

Previously, the Third Prince summoned a golden dragon and publicly broke off the engagement.

Basically, they slapped the Duke's face into the ground.

However, given his familiar, the Emperor would at most make him offer some courtesy to the Duke, and that would be fine, since Lia is the Duke's daughter after all.

But now...

It's estimated there will be no apology, just a powerful alliance between two old men.

They might even say that this matter was already decided long ago, and that the Third Prince just brought it up himself.

"Nero, it's your turn."

The head of academic affairs reminded him.

Ok.

The principal and vice-principal have both left.

Now it's the Dean of Students' turn to preside.

Nero took a deep breath.

God bless you.

I absolutely must succeed in summoning him.

Any familiar will do, as long as it allows me to continue being a magician.

She couldn't use any magic to begin with, so if she couldn't summon a familiar, she would be a complete dud.

It has no value whatsoever.

She didn't want it to be like this. She still had so many things to do. Her mother's death was so mysterious; there must be something fishy going on.

But I have no power, not even the right to conduct an investigation.

She cannot fail.

"Um."

Nero nodded.

He then stepped onto the summoning platform.

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

Each time a spell is recited.

Nero was under even more pressure.

Normally, the magic circle evolves synchronously with the chanting of the incantation.

but……

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

Although she finished reciting the incantation.

No magic circle appeared.

"puff……"

I don't know which freshman couldn't help but burst out laughing first.

That laugh was like a domino effect, instantly triggering even more laughter.

"Hahaha, I've been waiting for Nero to summon me, and he certainly didn't disappoint me, hahaha."

"I've heard since I was little that Nero, the eldest daughter of the Duke's family, is a genius. I never imagined she was such a genius, hahaha."

"This magic for summoning familiars should be able to succeed as long as there is magic power, right? I can't believe she could even fail at this magic. It's hilarious."

"Sigh, I was quite sad to have summoned a rat as a familiar, but now that I see her, I'm not so upset anymore."

ridicule.

Nero was used to it.

This won't hit her.

"Hey, Miss Nero, you can't even summon your familiar now, and you've been jilted by the Third Prince. How about this, why don't you become my concubine?"

No matter how down on his luck Nero was, he no longer had any magical talent.

So she was nominally the eldest daughter of the Duke's family.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to say such a thing.

The person who spoke at this moment was none other than Kai Rui, the son of the Empire's Grand General.

By the way~

There are still cultural classes in this world.

Nero's magic isn't up to par, so he'll have to work twice as hard in other areas.

Therefore, in all other aspects, it is overwhelmingly number one, while this Kai Rui is the perennial runner-up.

At this moment, standing behind Kai Rui was a huge male lion whose shoulder height was about the same as that of an ordinary person. That's right, this was his familiar.

Thunder Lion.

"Kairui, everyone has three chances to summon, please do not disturb other people's familiar summoning rituals."

Ok.

Summon three times.

This regulation.

It's just that I'm afraid some people might be too nervous and mispronounce the incantation, or there might be other issues that require it.

Under normal circumstances, if the incantation is not mispronounced and there is magic power, the summoning ritual will be absolutely successful.

Bringing out this set of things now is just to give the Duke's family face.

"Continue, Nero."

After the head of the teaching department finished reprimanding Kai Rui.

She turned and looked at Nero gently. He was a good boy, what a pity.

They have no affinity for magic.

Nero nodded.

Although she herself knew that the hope was slim.

But they still refused to give up.

"A traveler shuttling between reality and dreams..."

The second summons.

No response.

Nero's heart was completely broken.

"Nero, there's one last chance."

"Um……"

Nero closed his eyes.

Take a deep breath.

Recite the incantation again.

God!

If you truly exist, please hear my prayer.

"Cross that endless ocean of the world, 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!

Nero, who was praying in his heart, did not notice.

He had mistakenly pronounced "sea of ​​ether" in the incantation as "sea of ​​the world."

The summoning platform, which had been completely silent, was now completely still.

got windy.
