Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 49  Magic Department

[Bonus Chapter]

Magician Hall.

"Wow. This place is so huge. How big is this? I think it's around the size of a soccer field…" Nathan muttered while looking around.

He noticed a lot of straw dummies planted on the opposite side of the field, which seemed to be their target.

This time, Jason wasn't their teacher. In fact, there were only twelve students coming to this hall.

After all, several minutes ago, Jason said, "There are four paths that are recognized by the world. They are Combat Department, Magic Department, Command Department, and Research Department.

"For those who want to learn how to manipulate their Ena while using their weapons, you should visit the Combat Department.

"For those who would like to focus on supporting your familiars from a distance by taking advantage of the control of your Ena, this will be your place.

"Meanwhile, the Command Department focuses on strengthening your familiars, and you'll be playing the role of a commander on the battlefield.

"Last but not least, the Research Department often looks down because they sound like they are not learning how to fight. However, you are wrong. For the Research Department, you are not only focusing on your familiars' needs but also other things that can boost your power in a battle, such as potions.

"Hence, for the next two weeks, you may visit all these four departments and choose to learn how you would like to fight.

"You'll be given freedom to choose, but at the same time, it'll be your fault if you somehow choose to spend your time wrong. The teachers will guide you and provide feedback, but it'll depend on you to decide.

"That's all for me. The respective teachers will give you the rest of the explanations." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Jason said all those words and just sent them straight to their respective departments.

Of course, Nathan chose this department for a certain purpose.

The teacher was an elderly man with a big witch hat and a wooden staff with a big red gem in its head.

He welcomed them with a gentle smile. "Welcome students. I'm the teacher of the Magic Department, Donovan.

"I'm sure that you have learned how to manipulate your Ena to strengthen your body. This is nothing but the next step. This time, you are going to control this Ena to go outside your body."

The teacher raised his right hand while saying, "By releasing your Ena outside, you can produce a force similar to the ability that your familiar uses.

"This is an example. I'm going to release my Ena while waving my hand, redirecting them to my surroundings." As he explained, he waved his right hand from left to right.

The Ena burst out of his hand and produced a shock wave that hit the ground right in front of him.

A loud *bam* shook the field, leaving a small crater on the ground.

"That's…" The students looked shocked.

The teacher smiled. "This is just an example. Depending on how you control your Ena, it can become a barrier, a sturdy shield, or a destructive force.

"Think about how you are planning to use your Ena. I'll be teaching the basics and guiding you one by one.

"For now, you are to practice those three basic things that you need to learn, which will be your foundation for controlling Ena.

"I hope that you are able to maintain a barrier for five minutes, create a sturdy shield that can withstand an attack from a juvenile class alien, and use a destructive force that can hit those dummies from a distance.

"Is there any question?"

Nathan couldn't help but raise his head. This was a question that had been bothering his mind since yesterday. "Teacher. Can you actually use the same thing as your familiar? For example, can you create a blood tornado of your own?"

The teacher was amused by the question, not expecting it to be the first question. "A good question. The simple answer is yes. However, if you're going to ask me the method, then I'm afraid you need to research it yourself in the library.

"As a teacher, I'm not going to tell you how to handle that complicated stuff, which might seem cool now but will definitely harm your basics.

"As your teacher, I suggest you learn these basics first because it'll also help you do such a complicated thing later in the future."

Nathan nodded his head. He was happy that it was actually possible to use his familiars' powers. However, it would garner unnecessary attention if he asked for their power right now, so Nathan chose to solidify his basics first, even if it was boring.

Besides, he already knew what he wanted from this class.

"Teacher. Can we actually use it in a way that we like or are comfortable with? For example, rather than a shield, can we form a weapon instead?" The one asking the teacher was, surprisingly, the number fifth in the previous trip, David Leivester.

He made an impression on Nathan's mind since he was similar to his teacher. His first familiar was a harpy and the second familiar was a dryad. All of them were creatures from the forest.

The teacher nodded his head. "Of course, you can do it however you want. The goal remains the same. Even if you manage to shape your shield like a sword, that sword has to withstand the same amount of pressure.

"And for this class, you may summon your familiars. After all, your familiars' opinions are important since you guys are going to fight together. Knowing their habits and what you should and shouldn't do will definitely help you in battle.

"There are a lot of practice dummies out there. So feel free to go to your own dummies."

As soon as the teacher gave the permission, the students began to split up. Nathan chose the dummy on the far right corner to avoid anyone.

But for some reason, David Leivester ended up choosing the spot right next to him.

With a baffled expression, Nathan couldn't help but think, 'What are you doing here? This feels like pissing in an empty restroom and there is another person that somehow chooses the bowl next to you despite there being a lot of options.' ***
