"Wait! Is it a boy?"
Aside from the twin beauties with black hair and yellow eyes as identical as two peas in a pod. Astrid, the beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes, who makes me wonder, where is your dragon? And the elegant deep blue haired girl who wears pants and carries a sword at her side.
The one who caught my attention the most was the girl who was my height, with beautiful red hair and crimson eyes, but unlike the other girls, she had a chest as flat and smooth as an airport. Is she actually a boy!? And why are you wearing a knee-length mini skirt and socks if you're a boy?
My weak worldview on masculinity has just fragmented and broken now.
"Sigrid is a commoner boy who has great attitude and talent, his familiar is a flame elemental that has been described as having unlimited growth. Because of this, he was specially recruited by the school and has a scholarship."
"Hello, you must be the President's younger brother. The President has told us a lot about you. I hope we can become good friends..."
This beautiful boy is holding my hands, and why are his hands so soft?
"Hey... Yes, hello, nice to meet you, I also hope we get along well, with everyone..."
It seems that my hope of having a male best friend will not be in this life...
After following Vasi to take a seat and chat with the student council members, listening to the fight between Ragna and my Big Sister, and Sera holding me the whole time, either by the hand or in a hug.
When the teachers arrived, the new students were separated into groups.
On the floor of the coliseum a series of matrices have been prepared to help in the invocation of the familiar.
The materials used are expensive, and there is a chance of failure, but at this academy, unlike other schools for civilians, the event is prepared by the Academy and they absorb the expense of materials and preparation.
From the number of new students present, I can see that the fertility of the human race is progressing. From history books and mom's classes, after the war with the aliens, the population loss for humanity alone reached almost 60%.
But as I heard in a movie, -Life finds a way-.
Although it hasn't reached the population level of my previous world yet, I now estimate that there are at least 200 new students. And they are all at the minimum knight level, and perhaps, some civilians with special talents.
As the snacks were running out and the drinks were being consumed, the students moved forward and called their families.
There are many varieties, from many types of birds such as eagles and sparrows, to land animals ranging from rabbits to tigers.
There are also people who summon fantastic beings such as elementals and imps, especially those who have summoned angels and demons.
But there are also those who summon magical weapons, such as sacred swords, mythical bows, legendary chariots, and even ships.
At least, it's not like the other world where when doing the martial weapon awakening ceremony, you end up with a frying pan or a spoon.
By the way, speaking of holy swords. It seems to be from a family on the same level as my family, the Boier family of Athenahotep. The Athenahotep family leads the great Silver Army, the first and most powerful army of the human race.
The Athenahotep family does not like to get involved in politics, they keep part of the silver army on guard at the front line, near the border with the alien lands. They are also similar to my family, they do not have many family members, with only two daughters in my generation.
One of them has just summoned her familiar and as is customary in her family, it is a sacred sword.
And the older sister, she's the same age as my older sister.
"President Vasilisa, it's your brother's turn..."
"A ya?~ Vremi, accompany Ingrid, don't worry, we're close, and you can trust Ingrid, she's the most responsible person in the entire Academy, unlike other people..."
"Hey!"
Ragna grumbled... Ingrid is a tall girl, with sun-blond hair and golden eyes, she has skin as white as pure milk and a golden body that reveals her silver knight armor.
She is very strong, doing everything she can to achieve her goal of becoming even stronger, as Vasi has said, mostly calm and keeping a stoic poker face and never expressing any kind of feeling.
But from what I can see, she reminds me a lot of Ais Wallenstein from the Dungeon world. Unlike Ingrid, her younger sister, Helix, looks like a little Ingrid, but with one huge difference. The mountains are bigger! Much bigger!!
Not only is she different, but she also has a brighter and more cheerful attitude. As shown when she happily jumped into her sister's arms after finishing summoning her sacred weapon and not letting her family down. She can now enter the order of the silver knights and spend time with her dearest sister. And it's not that she guessed it, it's that she said it herself.
"Well, I'll be back in a moment." Then I momentarily said goodbye to my sisters and the others. I followed Ingrid, with a small tail following us and looking at me with interested eyes. I arrived at one of the summoning matrices.
In each summoning, materials are expended. I don't know what kind of materials they are, as I have zero knowledge of them, but I can see red liquid, roots, petals of some flower, and some kinds of metals and crystals.
While the teacher was preparing the circle, she asked me to stand in the center.
"You are the son of the Corinth family he~ Don't be afraid little one, it won't hurt you. Maybe your mother and sisters have already explained it to you, you just have to feel with your heart, find the way, and listen to the call of your destined family member."
"Mm!" I have no choice but to nod, the truth is that they haven't explained anything to me. My mother doesn't want me to summon a familiar, so that I don't have to fight, and my sisters have only given me small pieces of advice, since my mother also secretly forbade them from telling me anything.
At my age, I would no longer have the opportunity to create a bond with a family member, so my mother waits for me to fail, of course, my aunt has said that it is impossible, the blood that runs in my veins is that of the Corinth family, so my talent, even if I have delayed it, will not be overshadowed.
And even though my aunt and cousin have been encouraging me, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. By the way, why haven't I seen my cousin Khari?
"What do I do, sit or stand?"
"As you prefer. Sit however you feel comfortable, and wear pants. I think it's fine for you to sit down if you want..."
"What would I wear if it wasn't a pair of pants?"
I looked down, my clothes are more common than the others, although they are made of a very expensive pure white fabric, I try to have as few details and ornaments as the nobles wear. Therefore, I only wear straight cut pants, black lace-up shoes, a shirt and a white vest. My hair is not long, I cut it before it reaches my shoulders, although my mother is annoyed that I do not let my hair grow.
But if it were up to her, I would dress up like a doll, with princess and loli style clothes. When I started to get strong enough, I would dress up just to avoid being treated like a cosplay clothes rack.
"I better stay standing..." Looking around at me, everyone kept their eyes on me. The other teachers and the students who also entered their summoning circles, were also distracted by the sight of me.
"Cough, cough, okay everyone, prepare for the last batch..." The teacher in charge of my summoning ceremony coughed and ordered the other teachers to concentrate on their summoning ceremonies.
Murmurs reached my ears from different directions.
"How gorgeous!"
"He's the boy of the Corinth family, he's very cute"
"But isn't it too big for the summoning ceremony?"
"What does it matter, he's a boy, he can do whatever he wants and many women will come to protect him and take care of him..."
"...and give him children"
Okay, the last conversations were not necessary. I better concentrate on my ceremony. By the way, the teacher in charge is a very beautiful mature woman, she seems to be in her 30s, she has light brown hair and hazel eyes. And a mature body, where it should be concave it is concave, and where it should be convex it is convex.
"I'm ready"
"Excellent, I'll start the spell, just relax."
The teacher whispered a chant, and in her hands, threads of mana began to create the same shape as the matrix beneath my feet, then, the matrix began to flicker in light, wisps of luminaries began to float around me.
The same thing happened in the other summoning matrices. Then I felt an energy circulating in my body, it felt like a wind passing through my skin, it didn't hurt, but it felt strange.
Then when I closed my eyes, I felt like I was floating, instinctively I wanted to swing my hands as if I were swimming and somehow I was able to maintain balance.
I was expecting to hear some call or something that would attract me, but it was the opposite. There was nothing here.
Apart from the feeling of being able to float and even fly, there is nothing else. Then I began to feel something else. There is something around me, something like water, air, but more than that.
Apart from these strange external feelings, as I felt inside, there was a force that was now a part of me. Or two, each of which could be used to control external feelings. One could control what was around me, and the other helped me float, and I also felt that I could share my energy with others.
But there is nothing that is some kind of attack, I don't feel fire or much less heat, nor cold, nor anything electric, it seems to be true, men in this world are very rare to obtain an attack-type familiar or a talent for combat of some kind.
It seems that I am only supportive, I feel that I have ways to protect, accelerate and strengthen, I feel that I can share vitality, and although my second energy cannot be shared by itself, I can share it with my first energy, increase protection and increase strengths.
But there isn't even a familiar, just two different types of magic systems. Did my summoning ritual fail?
I opened my eyes, maybe it was a failure, but to my surprise, all the people were looking at me, and were they looking at me from below?
"Hey? What's wrong?"
I somehow swayed and it felt like I was going to fall. I was about 2 meters off the ground.
"Kid, calm down, don't get upset, breathe..."
The light brown-haired teacher tried to calm me down, she seemed not only worried, but also surprised.
Somehow I got the instinct to use my hands to swim back, but I felt like what was moving was not my hands.
Colorful things like a small transparent silk cloth appeared on both sides of my line of sight.
"At?"
My surprise and instinct made me flutter again, taking me two meters higher.
"Boy, calm down, calm down, try to control your wings and come down"
But how could I control something I had never had before? From a distance, thanks to being 4 meters above me, I could see my sisters coming running. The other teachers and parents of new students were also standing there looking in amazement.
My familiar is a pair of Colorful Wings?
I tried to calm down like the teacher said. It was like being in water. By instinct you use your arms and feet to keep your body afloat, I just have to relax my body and encourage the fluttering of my limbs to sink like in water.
I was slowly going down, but I lost my balance when I reached the height of two meters again.
"Ahhh!"
But instead of falling into the grass, I fell into a hug?
"Are you OK?"
In front of me were a pair of sapphire blue eyes, and golden hair that adorned the sides of a beautiful but expressionless face.
"Big Sister Athenahotep...this..."
He was caught by the student leader of the Silver Saints, Ingrid Athenahotep. I felt her catch me in her arms and then we went down. It seems that she jumped to cushion my fall.
She had me in a very embarrassing position, a princess hug. When I was about to tell her to get down, the teacher arrived and my sisters and other teachers arrived later surrounding us.
"Are you okay kid?"
"Vremi, how are you?"
"Vremi, you scared us? But what are those Wings, where is the phoenix?"
Trying to answer without a chance, Sera reminded me, I turned to look back, twisting my neck, and I could see a pair of wings that were a little drooping now, but they were insect wings, like those of dragonflies, very thin membranes that seem no less fragile than a snowflake, they emanate multiple colors and tones, and one of my wings fell over Ingrid, looking beautiful with her.
"It seems like I'm not failing and my familiar is a little weird?
