Scene – Mity stands before a huge academy.
Mity: So this is the Guard Learning Academy.

Scene – Mity enters the academy.

Scene – He stands at the counter and asks:
Mity: I want to join this academy.
Counter: Oh, then write your name and reason for joining on this paper.

Scene – Mity takes the paper and writes down everything.
Mity (writing): Name: Mity, Age: 16, I want personal guard training to become Princess Hima’s personal guard.

Scene – Everyone around is shocked. The counter looks at him.
Counter: Are you sure? Princess Hima’s name? Nothing else?
Mity: Yes, Princess Hima Goso.
Counter: Ah… I see, okay.

Scene – The counter gives Mity his ID.
Counter: Your classroom is 2D.
Mity: Okay, thank you.

Scene – Mity walks to the classroom.

Scene – In class 2D, four elves are seated: two boys and two girls. Mity quietly takes his seat.
Mity (thinking): Only four people?

Scene – The teacher enters.
Chin (teacher): My name is Chin. I’ll be your trainer for guard training. Let’s start with introductions. Everyone, one by one.

Scene – A male elf stands.
Ruju: My name is Ruju, age 21.
Scene – Ruju sits. Another male elf stands.
Posu: My name is Posu, age 30.
Scene – Posu sits. A female elf stands.
Jiji: My name is Jiji, age 25.
Scene – Jiji sits. Another female elf stands.
Kusi: My name is Kusi, age 28.
Scene – Kusi sits. Now Mity stands.
Mity: My name is Mity, age 16.

Scene – Everyone wonders why a human is taking guard training in the elf kingdom.

Chin: Let me clear something first. Only the five of you are in this class because you will become personal guards. Personal guard training is specialized, and few want it, so only five of you are here.

Scene – The class begins with a lecture.

Scene – Two hours later:
Chin: That’s enough for now. I’ll teach you about summoning. Come outside.

Scene – The class moves to the garden.
Chin: When you summon, you don’t know exactly what you’ll summon. Everyone can summon, but power differs. Try summoning now.

Scene – Everyone summons:

• Jiji: Green lizard-type beast (B-rank).

• Posu: Red and white monkey-type beast (C-rank).

• Kusi: Black bird with three eyes (A-rank).

• Ruju: White, blue, yellow snake with one eye (B-rank).

Chin: And Mity? You haven’t summoned yet.
Mity: Question.
Chin: Ask.
Mity: I already summoned a beast earlier. Do I need to do it again?
Chin: Hahaha! Humans are different, but a summoned beast isn’t just a pet. Treat it like family. And summoning happens only once in life. So no, you don’t need to summon again.

Mity (thinking): Normally summoning happens once, but with my skill, I can summon multiple times. But why did Tank ask about summoning limits earlier?

Chin: Since you already summoned, now just summon it here.

Scene – Mega emerges from Mity’s shadow.
Chin: Oh wow! A two-tailed beast!
Mity: Is it special?
Chin: I’ve never seen a two-tailed beast like this in my life. Foxes can have tails, but never two-tailed beasts. No idea what rank it is.
Mega: Don’t worry, as long as I serve my master.

Scene – Everyone is shocked.
Chin: What the hell! A talking beast!
Posu: That’s even rarer!
Mity (thinking): Lucky… me? [smiles]

Chin: Anyway, let’s move on. Spend time bonding with your beast. Let’s go!
