Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

"The Spirit World is a World discovered accidentally, but it has brought us enormous benefits. There are people who have gone from being mediocre to being powerhouses simply by summoning the right spirit. Not everyone can summon the right one for their lives; it is too difficult to summon a powerful spirit every time."

"But, after much research and mistakes, the Academy has managed to understand the right way to summon spirits. That way they will always give a satisfactory result, even if they don't make them turn into dragons overnight. The research is as follows..."

Robert clarified the important points in summoning a spirit from the Spirit World with a long and detailed explanation.

There are several important issues. A calm mentality is the beginning of everything while being able to control yourself is the next thing to be able to do a successful invocation.

Spiritual beings are very selective. You will not be able to invoke what you want but what is compatible with you, so compatibility is the third point and perhaps the most important. And that compatibility does not create itself; the two previous points are vital to making that compatibility.

This is because there are Four Fundamental Points to Invoking a Spirit, said by the great researchers and the talking spirits themselves.

Those Four Points are A Calm Mentality; it does not need to be 100%; having 70% mental tranquility is enough.

Controlling thoughts is different from the first, and this is important in 50%.

Determination is the most essential point and the only one of the four that requires 100%, no doubt in the head.

Finally, a Realized Personality—100% is not required; only 50% is enough, although it is much better if you have it at 100%. This means a defined personality, but there is one more condition at this point, and that is that the personality cannot be evil unless you want to attract evil spirits, which will possibly end up consuming you in a short time.

If someone has all these points ready, he can proceed to a correct invocation, although in the end, the spirit that will come out will depend exclusively on compatibility, and it is not even sure that the spirit will want to form a pact with you.

When Professor Robert explained all of this, he made it clear that the 'Summoning Class' would not be a one-time event; in fact, from today onwards, there would be Summoning Classes under his teaching so that they could succeed in summoning their first spirits.

Today was the first one, and they needed to take the test to determine how well their mentality and ability to control their own thoughts were.

"So you will all be taken to a different place shortly, where all of this will be put to the test. I will tell you just one piece of advice, little students: Summoning faster is not synonymous with being a better summoner of another.

It is better to be patient and pass the tests well than to be impatient and barely make it, for that will have repercussions on what you summon later." After saying this, Professor Robert summoned a specific spirit and created a massive inscription around the students.

All the students had to sit cross-legged as an immense spirit drew them into a different world.

When Matt walked in here, he felt it was slightly familiar. 'It looks like the place where I go when I get the skills.' He thought to himself, surprised by that, though he didn't overthink of it after realizing that he had several tests to pass.

He looked back and forth, finding several differences from what he sees when he is given his skills, and quickly realized that this was more amazing than he thought.

'This will help me learn to control the messy things inside me. That means that the way to spiritual invocation is also the Path of Control.' He thought and started to walk through this dark place that didn't seem to contain anything, except for different students all over the place who had the same feeling as him, who walked in front.

But the theme of it having nothing in it was a bit false. When they had all taken a few steps, they could hear a strange and annoying sound that wouldn't stop. The slight sound of something falling and hitting the floor was a bit stressful.

At the same time, Matt realized that some things seemed to be throwing fits in the mind in this place. It felt a little irritating, and to a temperamental person, this would take its toll really fast.

And, in fact, it did not take long to do so. Numerous people who tried to rush in, thinking this was simple, ended up getting kicked out of this place.

'It's a big problem. The various sounds and attacks coming from impossible-to-avoid places make many of them lose control, and since nothing was explained to us about this place, many tend to fail. I must say that Professor Robert is a bit ruthless in not explaining this, but that is perfect. This is the right way to teach.' Matt thought.

He immediately realized that the teachers here had an impressive determination in what they wanted to do.

'No wonder they can summon spirits.'

Matt looked to his right. A little ways off, he could see a beautiful silhouette, and there was no way he wouldn't recognize her, even if he couldn't see her face.

'Alice seems to be doing pretty well.' He thought, continuing his way through this place.

The people who were kicked out in the first test were many. After 20 minutes of walking through, only eight people were left.

This was because the longer it went on, the more stressful it became.

If Matt hadn't gotten back on track yesterday, he would quickly fail this test today. He might not even last 20 minutes.

When he was thinking like that, he noticed that five silhouettes suddenly disappeared; among them was that beautiful silhouette.

'Alice failed... It seems as if she tried to rush a bit and ended up failing... So that's how it is.' Matt thought.

He stopped as soon as he realized this, but the other two did not. They stepped a few steps further, within their respective paths, than Matt had stepped.

And that, somehow made them want to hurry quickly, so soon, those two silhouettes disappeared, confirming Matt's suspicions.
