Munchkin of the Summoning Academy - Munchkin of the Summoning Academy chapter 99

Minion Contest (2)

After deciding to participate in the competition, we began to gather relevant information without delay.

The Summoner Cup was a very famous and historical competition, but the Summoner Contest is not.

We mobilized almost all connections, not only from the department’s office, but also from the Beltern Chamber of Commerce and the vassals residing in the capital.

Eventually, when the information gathering work is finished, Elena organizes them neatly.

“Royal Summoned Contest. This is a new contest that is only 3rd time this year. However, because it is a royal contest, the prize money is not that big. It can be seen as the most prestigious contest in this field.”

“Anyway, isn’t this a competition you’ve never heard of, who was the number one succession to the throne until last year?”

When Medusha, who was stealing Letty from me, asks a question without malice, Elena smiles bitterly and shakes her head.

“But I can’t see it as a trivial competition. I was only concerned with the events where Esshas participated…”

“Ummm. Anyway, compared to the Summoner’s Cup, it means that his status is very low.”

“Is there any competitions that remain if the comparison target is the Summoner Cup?”

An extremely poor posture… In other words, Christine, who was listening to Maria’s kneeling position, gave her a pin cup.

Of course, Medusha was not so discouraged.

“We won the Summoner’s Cup, so this competition is no problem!”

“I do not know…”

Elena, who responded rudely, continued the explanation by writing on the board for the meeting.

A wonderful cursive like that of the royal family.

Sylvia, who was horribly unable to write, saw it and bit her nails.

I couldn’t see it, so I stretched out my hand to dry it, and I quickly took an upright posture.

“First, let’s take a look at last year’s and last year’s winners. Winning both times was at the Celondel Clothing Store…”

“Three, Celondel?”

“Is such a famous designer participating in the competition… It’s not a student-level competition? Why do you put such a thing on the bulletin board?”

As soon as they heard the identity of the winner, everyone was shocked.

Not surprisingly, Celondel is the capital’s most famous clothing store.

I’m relatively ignorant about it, and I know that.

The clothes that Ethel is wearing right now are not the Celondel brand.

Originally, it is a new product from Cellondel that even if you have money, you cannot get it, but if you have both money and power, the story is a little different.

The designer who occupies the largest share of the dressing room of our villa.

Not only the clothes of the nobility, but also the costumes of the summoned animals.

Of course, it is also worth calling it.

“Cellondel…”

At this point, Medusha also recognized the status of the tournament.

Elfriede, who sensed the sudden weight of the atmosphere, cheers with a timid voice.

“Ko, there’s no law that says you have to win…”

“No. The goal is, of course, to win! Even if you don’t know about other competitions, you can’t lose in this competition!”

The cut line that went up abruptly.

Medusha, as well as Ethel, nodded eagerly.

Elena, who unintentionally stimulated the two of them, sighed and recited the names of the other winners.

The rest are all industry professionals.

It is certainly not a contest designed for aspiring students to participate.

“This might be heavier than the Summoner’s Cup… No, it’s definitely going to be tough.”

In the Summoner’s Cup, each of them competed in their own sport.

Not so this time.

Elena, who was paying attention to this side, secretly proceeded with the meeting.

but. It’s a little different now that I’m competing in other competitions.

Medusha and Ethel would not allow it in the first place.

“The summoner contest is made to participate as a team, but only one summoner is judged. The rest of the members are supposed to act as assistants. Who should be the main character?”

“That’s Louise. No matter what your personality is, all your summons are beautiful.”

“I think it’s good for Lewis to come forward, too.”

Starting with Christine, everyone in the room pointed to me without hesitation.

I was expecting another member to break in, but it seems that there is no such luck.

As I humbly accept my fate, Medusha expresses her confidence.

“Okay. Then apply right now.”

“There’s still some time left to apply… Do you need to hurry?”

“Of course. If it becomes known that Lewis will participate in this tournament, Esshas may come out on his own. Then we can expect him to be biased.”

“Huh? Oh…”

“Is that so?”

An unexpectedly sharp observation.

Medusha didn’t go out without a second thought.

I wondered if Eshas would be so leisurely… but I decided not to give him a pint glass.

Even though the summons are showing such enthusiasm, pouring cold water on them is not a good thing.

After submitting the application as it is, the analysis of the competition is resumed.

The summoned contest is not just about waving your hand on stage and then returning.

You can tell by looking at the names of renowned designers occupying the list of winners.

It must be said that the proportion of decorating the summons is very high.

“Isn’t it just a contest where you dress well and send it up?”

“Yes. In addition to showing the individual skills of the summons, as well as a skill contest, and finally a theme contest. It consists of three stages.”

“What’s the difference between individual skill and skill?”

“Ah, the latter is a little different. It’s like Medusa-sama’s petrified gaze…”

“Aha.”

It’s natural to show off your skills and compete in a skill contest, but…

What is another themed contest?

When I asked a question, Elena quickly explained it.

“I prepare costumes and performances according to the previously announced theme. By the way, this stage has the highest score.”

“Ummm… Designers will definitely have an advantage. It makes sense to participate in clothing stores at all.”

“Shall we contact the designers who have been contracted with the Beltern Chamber?”

“No. Let’s not do that because we’re sorry. They must all be serious about this tournament.”

In order to prevent new members from joining, we are in a position to participate in tournaments that we were not interested in.

You can’t get help from your competitors by making the name of Beltern.

At the very least, it is the least polite to compete fairly.

Of course, within the academy, they are willing to ask for help.

Persia, who had been listening on my lap with a worried expression on her face, asked cautiously.

“Then what is the theme of this competition?”

“It’s a transformation.”

“transform?”

It was a much more comprehensive topic than I expected.

Edel clenched her fists as if it was her turn this time.

Lori, who remained in the spirit world, was also very excited.

“It’s a metamorphosis. It’s okay. It’s just a topic for us, isn’t it?”

“Even if you take turns, your appearance doesn’t change, right?”

“It’s completely different from technology, what do you mean? You can supplement the visual effect with clothes, etc.”

Medusha and Ethel are fighting each other.

Elena, who had left after receiving a brief call, came back with a small crystal.

Artifacts that can save and summon images.

It is extremely expensive because it is a one-time item for a subject that contains precious materials.

“Elena-sama. That’s probably…”

“It’s a recording of last year’s competition and last year’s competition. I contacted the royal palace and borrowed it for a while.”

“Wow, the hidden power of the Dracor Kingdom.”

Elena’s face heated up in annoyance as Christine jokingly joking around.

It seems that the situation is much better than when the other candidates for the throne were expelled from the royal palace because they were all purged.

In fact, it is only natural that such records remain in the royal palace.

The royal family spent a lot of money to hold the tournament, but it wouldn’t be a waste if we didn’t leave even such a thing.

Perhaps the Summoner’s Cup also leaves a video record every time.

This is a very valuable reference.

For us who will participate in the competition, it is nothing less than a treasure.

We immediately emptied one wall and played the video from last year’s competition.

I didn’t have high expectations as it was the first ever held, but surprisingly, the level is not a joke.

“They’re also famous designers…”

“Look at the level of the costume. It’s not worth selling right now.”

“That’s because people really make and sell them like that…”

“Oh, was that your first time in this competition?”

The more I watched the video, the heavier my heart became.

From the skill contest of the summons, I wanted to close my eyes altogether.

It’s not just a selection of some of the splendid techniques used in battle.

Most of the contestants have invented new competition techniques for this competition.

“If I didn’t see this and ran away, I would have been embarrassed…”

“Can I cancel my participation even now?”

“Don’t be afraid of it already, Louise. The odds are good enough for us too.”

Medusha said this to encourage me, but it’s absurd no matter how you look at it.

Only then will I be able to win with the Jeonggong method.

We should write everything we can.

I changed my mind to avoid being humiliated.

I have already submitted an application for participation under the name of El Cloud, so there is nothing I can do about it.

“Elfriede. Do you have an exclusive designer when it comes to the Duke of Beltern?”

“Yeah. They’re not going to participate in the contest because they reside in the Duke’s Castle. Shall I ask my dad to borrow it for a while?”

“I beg you. I just want to get help with costume design and production. Is it possible that I can get help from the academy?

When I spoke without confidence, Maria started talking to Michael.

Before long, Michael’s relaxed voice came out from behind the communication card.

I got a call on a golden Sunday, and thank you for not being annoyed.

“You’re participating in a summons contest? If you’re going to an off-campus competition, of course, you can get help from the academy. However, with the permission of the dean.”

“Then the president will persuade you…”

“Are you a great person to hear that I am talking about? They just say that if you win a contest, you will donate the entire amount of money. You guys have a lot of money anyway, right?”

“Aha.”

Even though I laughed at the dean’s treatment, I gladly accepted it.

Although the prize money of the Summoner Contest is quite reasonable, it is still nothing compared to the Summoner’s Cup.

The participants of the competition will also participate in the pursuit of the royal family rather than the prize money.

If you make a contract with the Drakor royal family, you will get a profit that looks like a ridiculous amount of money.

“What? Donate all the prize money? Use everything you need!”

The dean, who heard our proposal through Michael, responded with an unparalleled speed compared to usual.

When he comes out like this, we feel sorry again.

“Me, the dean. Unlike the Summoner Cup, this tournament doesn’t have a lot of prize money…”

“It’s okay. Our academy professors will eat up their budget if they leave it alone anyway. It’s an advantage if you can use those odds to make money. Instead, win unconditionally!”

Permission was quick enough to look pitiful for not being arrogant.

It seems that the professors were also at fault for turning one of the top level summoners in the kingdom into a money ghost.

We got a strong support group more easily than expected, but we have to devise important performances anyway.

Fortunately, Medusha and Ethel, who were very excited, came up with ideas.

Most of them are overly flashy or daring, but one or two of them might be useful.

While Elena dictates it on the blackboard. I sighed in secret.

Still, it has the minimum qualifications.

However, I’m not sure about the appearance either.

“Louis. Don’t worry too much. Aren’t your pets so ungrateful?”

Did my thoughts appear on my face?

Medusha, who was next to her, leaned her head back and said a little sadly.

Thinking I made a mistake, I bite my tongue and shake my head.

“It’s not like that. The key to this tournament is how well you decorate your summons…”

“Um, well.”

The video of the competition played on one wall of the club room.

In the last round of last year’s competition, Medusha, who was glancing at the theme contest, showed a strange smile.

In the clear screen, summoners and summoners paired up and interpreted the theme in their own way.

The boy nodded his head lightly and said confidently.

“I don’t know anything else, but I think we’re the best Summoners.”

“Well, thank you for saying that, but…”

“No. This is not empty words. Well, let’s see.”

Medusha’s confident smile soon turned a little sinister.

I turned my gaze back to the blackboard, feeling the unknown anxiety rising up my spine.
