"Calvin, you must know that summoning magic is one of the most mysterious and unpredictable in this world. It has the freedom of styling magic and also the raging of elemental magic. Even if compared to all kinds of ancient magic, its power will not be inferior!"
"Someone who can master summoning magic can even become an existence like the Ten Great Sage. You are lucky to learn it. You have to cherish it!" An old man wearing a dirty robe urged a child who looked only three or four years old.
"So, Pierce, as the creator of summoning magic, what kind of great person are you in this continent?" The three or four-year-old child asked the dirty old man with an inexplicable smile.
"Cough cough! About this, a random third-rate Guild can defeat me by sending a third-rate Mage," The dirty old man replied, a little embarrassed.
"You still have the nerve to say that the summoning magic you created is the first spell on the continent to be bent on the top of the continent?" The little boy laughed dryly and used sharp words to attack the fragile heart of the dirty old man.
"You are wrong to say that. Although I'm not that strong, I could not easily be defeated either!" he said heroically.
"Please, this is not a fact worthy of being said loudly."
"But I am sure that the summoning magic I have spent my entire life trying to summon is the best on the continent. It even could compete with the legendary Dragon Slayer Magic!"
"I will show you the essence of summoning magic with great compassion. The essence lies in offering sacrifices. Offer sacrifice magic, and through the magic card that I have created, summon the magical creatures that have the same magic power to fight for us. This is the style that an ultimate sorcerer should have!"
"Think about it. If you create a dragon on the magic card and simultaneously offer the magic power to summon a dragon, you can fly in the sky." The dirty old man opened his hands and shouted excitedly, but the little boy opposite him looked at him coldly as if watching a dull performance.
"Yes, yes, yes. But your premise is 'if'." The little boy stood up and was ridiculed with an expressionless face. "But don't worry, even if summoning magic is unbearable, to repay you for raising and saving my life, I will still work hard to learn your summoning magic!"
"Calvin ---I am so happy to meet such a lovely grandson like you in my later years of life." The dirty old man's face was full of tears as he sobbed and hugged the little boy. The little boy had a happy and bitter smile on his face.
This was a remote village in the Kingdom of Fiore. The old and the young were precisely the villagers. Although it was a little unreliable, this dirty old man was the only person in the village who knew magic. He was the summoning sorcerer, Pierce Makarov.
The little boy was an abandoned child that Pierce had seen on the mountain one day. The kind Pierce immediately picked him up and brought him home. He also gave him the name Calvin Makarov. The two of them had lived together for four years. Although Pierce's already poor life was even more impoverished, his happiness had increased dozens of times.
"Calvin, since you want to learn summoning magic, you must first learn it from the basics. I will teach you how to make magic cards first! Summoning magic is simple. First, you have to use a card to create a summoning object, then summon the summoning object on the card, so you must learn how to make magic cards!" Pierce was an old man with very high mobility. When he heard Calvin agree to learn, he immediately began to teach.
He took out the materials. It was an ordinary hard card paper the size of a palm. It was in the shape of a rectangle.
"Well, let's practice the simplest tool card first. This is the magic array to summon a kitchen knife. You can draw it on the paper." Pierce took out another card and handed it to Calvin together with a pen.
"It's amazing. Just these few lines can be created out of thin air. I admire you, grandpa." While copying the lines, Calvin praised.
"Pouring magic into the ink water, the lines drawn are also magic. You can create creatures if you can combine the lines full of magic. This is the charm of summoning magic. But unfortunately, summoning magic can't create souls. Although it is similar to star spirit magic, the creatures we create do not have souls."
"You have been smart since you were young, and your magic is outstanding. In my opinion, you are a talented student. Honestly, I am terrified that I will bury your talents because of me." Pierce gently stroked Calvin's head, his eyes full of love.
"What talent? Are you comparing me to you? Even if I am stronger than you, I won't be happy because of this."
"Hahaha..." The warm laughter of the grandfather and grandson filled the small room.
Half a year later, Calvin could already make magic cards by himself. Ordinary tool magic cards, such as kitchen knives, bows, and shields, were no longer difficult. Now, in addition to the tool magic card, Calvin had already begun to try making the biological magic card.
Summoning magic was very personal magic. Each person could only use their card to summon, and the same magic card would also change because of the difference in the magic power of the maker. It was just like the kitchen knife that Pierce summoned was ordinary, but the kitchen knife that Calvin summoned was full of energy and was full of aggressiveness.
"Grandpa, why do you have to paint a layer of paint on the card every time you finish making it?" On this day, Calvin finished making a rabbit-summoning magic card and successfully summoned it. He asked Pierce.
"Don't underestimate this pigment. This is my special pigment. It can preserve the magic power in the card, so it doesn't lose out. You have to know that the magic power of the lines on the card will slowly flow out without post-processing."
"Oh ---No wonder you want to draw patterns on each card. This is to distinguish cards, right?" Calvin suddenly realized and nodded.
"Not bad, not bad."
-
Half a year later, Calvin learned all the magic cards Pierce had developed. It could be said that in addition to the accumulation of magic power, Calvin had learned all the magic that Pierce had.
"I didn't expect Calvin to learn all the magic I had in just one year. Are magic cards so easy to make?" Pierce was amazed by Calvin's learning speed.
"It's extraordinary. Calvin not only makes a copy of the card but also knows how to make magic cards. Even if I am not here, he can continue creating new magic cards and summoned beasts. This kid is only five years old. How did his brain grow so fast."
Of course, Pierce would not understand because Calvin was not a person of this world. It should be said that his soul was not.
Calvin was originally living on a planet called Earth, a 17 year old youth born in the 22nd century.
Calvin was an otaku who had just stepped into the world of anime. He had just finished reading a set of once classic comics - "Yu-Gi-Oh" Then a good friend recommended a comic called "Fairy Tail" to Calvin. However, Calvin died in an accident before watching it. When he opened his eyes for the second time, he had already become this baby and was adopted as Calvin.
Because of this, Calvin embraced a thinking pattern that did not match his age, so he could quickly understand the summoning magic created by Pierce. After all, there was a huge difference in difficulty between creation and learning.
"Summoning magic? If I work in the guild in the future, I should be able to earn a lot..." Sitting on the hillside, Calvin casually took out a card. Magic power poured in, and the magic array shone. A small and cute summoned creature appeared next to him.
"Hmm... not bad. I didn't expect that I could summon such a cute summoned beast..."
Suddenly, a feeling of palpitation emerged from Calvin's heart. Calvin quickly stood up and stared at the sky with cold sweat all over his face.
"This is... what..."
Roar! Roar! Roar! The continuous and terrifying roars came from every corner of the village.
The massive monster with a terrifying dark green color landed on the village.
"Is this... a dragon?" Calvin's face was filled with despair.
"Roar!!" The dark green dragon roared and spat out a black breath. Calvin looked down from above and saw that the entire village was covered in black fog. The villagers fell one by one.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Run!" When he was in despair, Calvin immediately ran home. Calvin and Pierce lived in a remote place, and the black fog had not yet spread to their place.
When Calvin returned home, he saw his grandfather holding a magic wand and looking at the dark green dragon with a serious expression.
"Calm down; I'm afraid this is the legendary poison dragon. I didn't expect there to be dragons in this era... Calvin, it's time for me to show you the true power of summoning magic. It's the power of sacrifice." Staring at the colossal figure, Calvin could feel the will to die in his grandfather's words.
"What are you talking about? Let's escape now! Otherwise, we will die!"
"Don't worry, Calvin. I will not let you die!" Pierce took out a card. Calvin remembered that this was the strongest card his grandfather had created, but no matter what, he could not bring out the equivalent magic power to offer sacrifice to the 'dragon'!
The magic array that represented summoning magic shone.
The light dissipated, and a white dragon that was not inferior to a poison dragon appeared in front of Calvin.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
"Think about it. If you create a dragon on the magic card and offer the magic power to summon a dragon, you can fly in the sky."
"Grandpa, you didn't lie to me. Summoning magic is the strongest magic..." In a daze, Calvin looked at the battle between the two dragons in front of him.
Didn't you say that the creature created by summoning magic has no soul? Why did this white dragon always bring the battlefield away from me, and where did you go as a summoning sorcerer...
After days and nights, the battle between the two dragons finally ended.
The poison dragon had fallen, and the white dragon had turned into a thin old man.
It was Pierce.
"So that's how it is. Grandfather, you were able to summon a dragon. Is that your life?" Calvin walked past the village covered in corpses and came before Pierce's corpse. Tears flowed down his face as he looked back at the corpse. Calvin stood up in grief.
"Is this hell?"
From now on, there is one less summoning sorcerer in this world who can slay dragons - Pierce Makarov, but a new summoning sorcerer named Calvin has been born.
