Chapter 471-Prince Joaquin and Princess Hannah
Prince Joaquin looks at the surroundings, and his confident smile attracts everyone.
He leads his sister, Princess Hannah, to the summoning altar.
Since both are royal, the students give way to them, and the one on the spot which was about to try summoning a familiar bows and decides to let the prince and princess have their turn first.
Dante doesn't mind, and he looks at the two and says, "Who's first?"
"Me, Uncle Dante."
Joaquin smiles and shows respect in front of Dante because even though he is a prince, Dante has been with his father since they were teenagers, and Dante is considered to be a brother of his father because they have undergone many challenges together.
Dante nods and lets Joaquin go to the summoning altar.
People look at him with curiosity and excitement about how strong the creature the prince will summon will be.
"What do you think, Prince Joaquin will summon? I bet it will be strong."
"Yeah, after all, he was ranked number 15 in the genius list in the Aquaria Continent in terms of strength and potential. If he manages to form a contract with a strong creature, his strength will soar."
The descendant of a Wizard King, a 10-tier mage, is blessed by Aether because they are connected to the bloodline of the Wizard King, who underwent an evolution.
Even a Tier 9 powerhouse is like an ant in front of Wizard Kings.
They are blessed with immense Aether Energy reserves that give them an edge over others and can easily convince a familiar to contract with them due to their potential.
In the history of the royal family, the lowest level a royal family member can summon is a silver level, and some princes and princesses can summon even gold-level familiars or higher.
Joaquin is confident in his talent and goes to the Summoning Altar. Like others, he lets his blood fall on the summoning altar and chants different words compared to others.
"I have the bloodline of a Wizard King; please heed my call and appear before me."
As he chants, the altar shines a golden color, different from others.
"Oh! As expected of his majesty's child."
Dante smiles and nods in acknowledgment, as he already knows the level of the creature Joaquin is about to summon.
Swoosh!
The light almost blinds everyone in the ceremony, but after 5 seconds, a 10-meter Drake appears in front of everyone.
Roar!
The Drake roars, showing its might, and some weaker beings cannot help but feel the pressure.
"What an intense pressure."
Dante immediately takes action, forming a hand seal and easily suppressing the aura of the Drake.
Dante's aura of a 9-tier mage shocked the Drake, so it stopped being ferocious.
Boom!
The Drake is angry, but seeing Dante is stronger than him, it just looks at him with dread eyes and then looks at the one who managed to summon him.
"Woah! That was close."
The onlookers finally sigh in relief, and their reverence for Dante rises again as he easily suppresses such a strong creature.
"That's a gold-level creature, on top of that, it's at peak level."
"As expected of Prince Joaquin. He was born to be a dragon among men."
Joaquin knew that he was talented, but the result still shocked him because he managed to summon such a strong being.
He was excited because if his father knew about it, he might have a chance to gain his father's favor and maybe be trained personally, just like his other brothers and sisters who are talented as well.
Seeing the Drake looking at him, Joaquin took out a container with blood and offered it to the Drake.
"Please sign a contract with me, and I will give you the blood of a Dragon as an offering."
Joaquin had prepared the best thing he could do, and his mother had personally given him such dragon blood. His mother is a 9-tier Wizard, and she had personally killed a young dragon to gift its blood to her son for the ceremony.
A Drake is an inferior type of dragon, and to successfully evolve into a dragon, one must absorb dragon blood.
Seeing the dragon blood, everyone was astonished, and even the Drake was moved. He lowered his pride and agreed with the young man in front of him.
"Brat, I will give you 1 month as a trial. If I see that you are not promising, I will do my best to get out of the contract, even if it might damage me."
The Drake sent his message to Joaquin, who smiled and didn't mind it.
"Okay, I can make you be convinced in a month."
Both finally made a contract, and a tattoo appeared on his hands, and the Drake became his familiar.
"Congratulations, brother."
Princess Hannah congratulated him, and Joaquin smiled and said, "Haha, thank you, royal sister. Don't worry; I will protect you against our 3rd brother if he wants to bully you again."
"With my familiar, his silver-level creature will be easily suppressed."
Joaquin and Hannah were only related because of their father, as they had different mothers.
Hannah was constantly bullied by other princesses and princes because her mother was only a maid who caught the fancy of the Wizard King.
Her mother died when she was 3 years old, and since then, Joaquin's mother took her into her care and treated her like her own daughter.
That's why Joaquin and Hannah were close.
"Thank you, brother, but don't worry. I believe that I can summon a strong creature as well, and if I become successful, no one can bully me again."
Hannah clenched her small fist in excitement, and this day had finally arrived.
She was hopeful that she could summon a strong creature because if she failed, her father might not look at her in a different light, and her progress would stagnate as her resources became limited.
Joaquin smiled nodded at her and let her enter next.
"Woah, it's now the princess's turn."
"Yeah, her talent is even superior to the prince, so I think she can also summon stronger ones."
The onlookers were excited, and today's event was very thrilling, so none blinked to not miss a single thing.
