Chapter 611 Summoning an... egg?
[Eon's POV: ]
"Ah, Quin, looks like they called for you."
"Hmmmmmmmmm? A-ah! Yes!"
She was lost in her own thoughts after listening to Rein's story. She didn't even listen to the vice headmaster's voice even though she had called her name not once but twice already.
"What are you doing girl? Go~. Bring back a gorgeous cutie so that I can play with them~."
"Ah... yes."
There was a blush of surprise on her face when she said yes to Rein and ran towards the stage in a hurry. Perhaps the story and the way I reacted to all of that made her curious about many things since this was her first time listening to our 'stories' like this. But, I knew her well now. She will be fine after thinking and contemplating everything here from a few different angles.
She might also ask the opinions of her guardian spirits but, I don't think they would be of much help to her in this regard... wait, perhaps they will. nOVε-lb(1n
Not that much, but if thinking about it, those guardian spirits have lived with her grandpa for all their lives, and her grandpa was the greatest adventurer and explorer in recent known history.
He had mentioned in his diary that he had come across three divine beasts in his lifetime and though he had never seen a dragon himself, there are detailed records of him mentioning someone he met in a distant tribal village who had not only seen and survived a dragon, but he mentioned that that person had even had a talk with them that saved their village from a disaster a decade ago.
'Hmmm... perhaps those spirits might have some more details about that. I should ask them later when we get the chance.'
But for now, just like all of our group members, I'm also looking forward to just what kind of creature our dear special friend Quin summons.
She is a special person with special abilities, origins, as well as special talents. Even her elemental abilities are something that everyone considers as 'unique'.
She is a house caption, and not only that, she is someone directly trained by one of the greatest adventurers to ever live.
She was our friend as well if it was counted, but, well, even after considering every one of those things, she is a really nice, good, pure, and kind person.
I wanted to see just what kind of being she summons and my interest in her summon was just as great as it was regarding Lizzy's.
'Lizzy is the most unique person when it comes to soul in this world. She's perhaps even more special than Captain Alpha in that matter.'
There is light present there, an inherited evil and both are in harmony, so it makes her abilities on both sides stronger, granting her a unique characteristic that very, very few in the three main realms possess.
Lizzy is special, very special. But, my interest in Quin's summoning was just as great as hers. Quin was just that much of a unique person.
"Are you suggesting we bet on what she will summon~?!"
"What do you think everyone? What kind of creature will Quin summon?"
"Are you suggesting we bet on what she will summon~?!"
The one who shouted this was, ironically, our dear friend Liz. She liked these bets and gambling games a little too much apparently.
"Ummm... I was just asking for opinions but sure? Sounds fun! Let's bet on every one from now on~."
And then there was this wild miss fiancée of mine. Always ready to jump into anything that even remotely sounded fun.
"Yes~. Then how about a hundred points~?"
Some students who were listening to us turned their heads in shock when Liz mentioned a hundred [Wealth] points out of nowhere. It was a large sum. Very large if we were going to bet on more than one student here.
They can do a lot of things with that much money, but, to have the guts to spend that much money on a complete blind gamble, was not something just anyone can do.
"Alright~! Let's do that~."
But, the people surrounding me in this moment, were not someone who would need to worry about a little sum of money like this one.
They already had hundreds of thousands in their ID star accounts and even more, if they were talking about the other form of currencies accepted on this island.
They were all well off already, however, this friend of ours, Lizzy, was comparatively the poorest person among us.
She earned her own money so it was a good thing that Alf, Carla, and other nobles and royals present didn't have, but, even seeing from that perspective, she was poorer than Med who only used the money she earned or our Chry who received a monthly select from me for being my knight.
She was financially stable, independent, and responsible, but she just liked these gambles and bets. Perhaps in the far future, we will all sit down and talk about this when she becomes an important person for society and the world.
"Alright then. What do you think Liz? What will Quin summon?"
I asked her the question myself. It was a tactic that would naturally push me last in this queue.
"Ah, umm, I think Quin will summon some creature of water attribute."
"You will have to be a little more specific dear."
"Ah... then, I think she will summon an aquatic creature! Yes!"
"Hmmm. Alright then."
I took out a pen and paper from my storage space and wrote down her name, and a bet on it after drowning a proper outline.
"Ok, so, what about you Uriel? What do you think?"
"Quin will summon a cutie~. Whatever it is, it will be small, and cute, and pretty~. Just like her~."
Now this was some vague answer. Nice one lol.
However vague the answer, the better your chances of claiming your answer to be true.
"Alright, then... Titania. What do you think?"
I was just choosing the people randomly but, Titania was ready to answer with a fire in her eyes. This little red fairy was the most competitive among all of us if I said so myself.
"I think it will be a powerful creature of around (Blue) rank with water attribute, will be perhaps older than her in age, and perhaps it will have a tail and teeth as well."
"Ah, nice thinking..."
I had a very strange feeling that this little fairy would be the one with the most losses in the entirety of our betting game, but, who has seen the future?
"Hmmm, ok. Then Chry? Your thoughts?"
"Ah... I think it will be, a pretty creature. Just like her..."
The boy was already staring at her without blinking. And then there was this answer. What do we think about this if not 'that'?
"Hehe. He is falling."
"Hasn't he fallen already though? That look-"
"Nah Liz. He hasn't yet. But he will. Undoubtedly. I can tell. They will take a long time but, it will happen."
Rein and Liz were whispering and others certainly heard them, except my dear knight. This person baring the flames of revenge in his heart was feeling the gentleness of someone else's presence since he met her.
They took their classes together, went around together when Rein and I were busy, and they had taught each other their languages as well. Though Quin's pronunciations were broken and his way of speaking was similar to a bird's chirping.
But they were going somewhere, together, and it was fun seeing the two people with very different yet similarly strong desires, walking there together. Without their known knowing of course. They would deny it and perhaps there might be some tension between them later, but we didn't want that. That was the reason we had left them on their own since the moment we noticed.
"Ah, alright. So, Alf?"
We all moved on and left the tall muscular knight staring at our pretty girl with a uniquely perfect smile.
Alf said something too technical, Princess Isabella supported his words without a moment of hesitation... these two were going to be the next super famous couple. I can bet a million points on this.
Then it was Carla's turn, finally, and she said something... too unique?
'She said Quin would summon an older creature, that might take the place of her grandpa. Which didn't make any sense.'
The summoning didn't work like that, but we didn't need to explain that to her. She will figure it out when she loses.
Princess Luna was standing a little distance away from us with her new large shark, and she said Quin would summon a (Purple) ranked creature. Nothing more.
Which was actually a big compliment coming from someone like her. Perhaps she acknowledged Quin in some way for some reason? Perhaps. I wasn't sure but that was a compliment.
'Then there was our fuckboy Hide. Who claimed she wouldn't summon anything? Which was a possibility, but, not that great one.'
Nebula said whatever Quin summons will be blessed by her goddess Diya... well, in short, she was betting that the creature will be a holy creature. Yeah, why not?
Nox was with us... but he didn't bet. He didn't know Quin that well yet so he was staying out of the betting. At least for this time around.
The boy had pretty good judgment skills though. He was perhaps more talented in this guessing game than most of the people here.
It was my turn soon, and my bet was simple actually.
"Quin might summon a being blessed by nature, magic, Mana, and the elements. A creature that might be on a very weak level for now, but something that will possess an insurmountable potential, just like her."
That was my claim, or bet, or whatever... and it was the closest to the results as well, in a way, at least.
"Hmmm? What's that?"
"Is that... an egg?"
"Quin summoned an egg? How's that... possible?"
"Beautiful."
"Wow, that's a very pretty egg. Are those jewels? What kind of egg is that?"
"Well... unbelievable..."
Against all odds, our dear friend summoned an egg. And not just any kind of egg.
'Unbelievable...'
What she summoned, what I was never expecting to see in a place like this, what I knew none in this entire island, including the ancient tree had any knowledge of, was perhaps something that can be compared to Prince Alph's turtle.
Or perhaps... perhaps, this was even more valuable than that. Perhaps... this egg...
