Rhys entered the vice principal's room. Even he didn't expect to meet such a high-ranking person in this academy.
But more importantly, he was able to witness the person who took care of the academy, and she didn't disappoint.
The vice principal had a rather slender figure that was barely visible from the contour of the robe. Her eyes were filled with wisdom, giving a different type of charm. She gave a weird pressure that made Rhys feel a bit nervous.
Meanwhile, the vice principal took a glimpse of the animal that Jason was talking about, which made her even more curious.
"So you are student Rhys, the one who is said to summon an animal instead of a humanoid creature…" The vice principal squinted her eyes, giving a sense of oppression.
Rhys took a deep breath as if he were trying to calm his heart down. "Yes."
The vice principal showed his paper. "The reason I call you is regarding your answers. It seems that you have a rather unique perspective."
Rhys couldn't deny it since he came not from this world. Besides, his knowledge was limited as well. He had prepared a reply for this remark. "I didn't know much, so I just wrote things I could think of from all the knowledge I currently had. I was just desperate."
"Desperate, huh? Could I ask you some questions to verify this was your thought? I couldn't help but doubt because it felt like your answers came from someone who studied this field for more than twenty years."
"I understand." Rhys still showed a sign of nervousness. On the one hand, there wasn't any confirmation yet that he had been accepted. On the other hand, he had to act nervous since that was how a farmer would act if he met a high-ranking person.
"How about this first question? It doesn't seem that you don't have any basic knowledge about Mana." The vice principal came to him. "To have more than one summoned creature, you need to have more Mana."
The vice principal came with a candle and a knife. "This knife represents the amount of Mana that you have in your body. If you summon a creature, it's the same as sacrificing that amount of Mana forever so that the summoned creature can stay in this world for as long as you are alive."
The vice principal chopped off half of the candle in one go. "That's why the first summoned creature will be the most important because it can determine the amount of Mana in your body.
"I'm not saying that it's the end for you if you don't have a powerful summoned creature, but to increase Mana, you need resources. Without any background, you can only rely on yourself to get that resource.
"With a weak summoned creature, going for that resource is basically suicide.
"Anyway, the stronger the summoned creatures you summon, the more Mana you sacrifice. In other words, you need to increase your Mana a lot before summoning your second creature so that the one getting summoned will be stronger.
"The first question is asking about your thoughts about how much Mana you need to sacrifice. The other students in your class are giving estimates from 0.5 times of your original Mana to 100 times. However, your answer is making a generalization of the summoned creatures. Why do you think so?"
"!!!" Johan was quite surprised by the answer. If he were the student, he would give the same answer as other students.
Meanwhile, Rhys actually said, "I think that your explanation has just confirmed my answer."
"Hoh? Elaborate."
"If we need more Mana to summon a more powerful creature, it means that a certain creature requires a certain amount of Mana. If we can generalize the amount of Mana required to summon a certain creature, won't it give a higher chance for the summoner to call that creature?
"If that's the case, measuring Mana accurately will be very important, especially if it's in number. For example, if we buy a wooden spoon for one copper coin, we can buy silverware for one silver coin. The measurement of money is accurate, which reflects in quality," explained Rhys.
Meanwhile, his heart was beating rapidly as he was screaming inwardly, 'Hell yeah, I'm going to say every bit of rubbish I have in mind.'
However, it was actually pretty effective, judging from the vice principal's expression. Jason was behind him, so he couldn't see his stunned face.
"An accurate measurement device…" The vice principal looked down for a moment before she laughed. "Hahahaha!"
Rhys was confused about her reaction. Jason couldn't help but whisper, "The vice principal sets four questions based on her research. The first question is among them."
"Ah." Rhys understood why she laughed.
'This woman actually believed all the gibberishes he came up with?' Gaelion was dumbfounded as he remembered Rhys saying, 'We fake it until we make it.' He never thought it would be the case.
The vice principal decided to change her approach. She turned to Jason and said, "I'm done confirming it. Post the result."
"What about him?" Jason asked.
"He will enroll in this academy."
Jason nodded. Even he thought that if the other answers were similar to what he heard, it wouldn't be wrong for him to join. If he somehow didn't become a good summoner, his way of thinking might result in one or two major breakthroughs in this field. "I'll take care of it immediately."
"T-Thank you very much." Rhys hurriedly thanked her since this meant he could stay in a safe place for a while.
However, the vice principal had another surprise for him.
As soon as Jason exited the room, the vice principal walked to Rhys. "I'm the vice principal of this academy, Wyndia Lorelei."
"I am Rhys."
She just smiled. While extending her hand, she asked, "Rhys. Do you want to be a student of mine?"
"Student?" Rhys looked shocked, wondering if this was a dream or not.
Even Gaelion couldn't contain his bewilderment. 'Did this guy just get her to protect him just from writing some bullshit?’

Chapter 176
“There are only 346,120 books,” Charlotte answered.Rhys stared at the endless shelves stretching across the enormous library and then looked back at her.“And you’ve read all of them?”Charlotte gave him a flat look.“Of course not. Even with two hundred years, it would be difficult to read every single book here by myself. That’s especially true when new knowledge keeps appearing and older information constantly needs updating. I’ve only read around half of them.”Rhys let out a low whistle.“Almost a thousand books a year. That’s still insane, you know.”He shook his head in disbelief.“Then do you at least know the contents of all the books here?”“What do you think?” Charlotte sighed. “I don’t possess a photographic memory. Even if I could memorize every page, some information would inevitably be lost when I’m eventually integrated back into my original self.”She paused before adding,“That said, I understand the general contents of most books. If I need something specific, I si

‘Risa becoming a vampire progenitor?’Rhys stared at Charlotte in disbelief.The idea sounded absurd at first, but the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.If his blood truly possessed the ability to create a vampire progenitor, then it wasn’t just some unusual trait. It was something capable of changing the balance of power across the entire world.People would go insane for something like that.The first thing powerful organizations would think about was not friendship or cooperation. They would think about ownership.Kidnap him.Lock him up.Drain his blood.Use it to raise an army of vampire progenitors.If Charlotte’s theory was correct, countless Beast Tamers would start summoning vampires simply because the reward was too tempting. There would be a guaranteed path toward creating one of the strongest vampire existences imaginable.From a business perspective, it was ridiculous.He could probably sell a single vial of blood for a fortune.Kings would pay for

“Why did a vampire evolve from sucking my blood?”The moment Rhys asked the question, Charlotte answered almost immediately, as though she were reciting knowledge from a book she had studied countless times.“There are multiple reasons. First of all, do you know what the vampire sucks?”“Blood.”“Then what does blood contain?”“Hmm? Red blood cells, white blood cells, or something like that?” Rhys tilted his head. “I don’t know a lot about biology.”Charlotte shook her head.“Your blood is influenced by your Mana and your soul. If you are a being from another world, that influence changes your blood as well. And because you possess a unique Mana capable of summoning beasts, we already know your blood differs from that of ordinary people.”Rhys frowned.“That’s weird.”He spent a moment thinking before continuing.“If that’s the case, why did the person who first discovered Mana in my body say I possessed a tremendous amount of it? When I summoned my first familiar, I only had sixty Ma

Questions kept piling up in Rhys’s mind.The more he thought about it, the more unsettling everything became.How exactly had he arrived in this world?Charlotte’s words had opened a door he had never seriously considered before. Once she started questioning the existence of familiars, countless other questions followed.What had really happened to Gealion, Nidhogg, and Anubis in their original legends?Why were they here?If beings who had already died in their own stories could be summoned, then what did death even mean in the first place?Rhys lowered his gaze.‘Should I accept this deal?’The thought refused to leave him.‘Even the Fairy Queen doesn’t seem to know why I ended up here. If that’s the case, having someone obsessed with uncovering the truth might actually help me. At the very least, she’ll uncover information that I can’t find on my own.’His eyes narrowed.‘And this isn’t just anyone. This is the Fairy Queen. One of the greatest familiars this world has ever known.’

Rhys quickly turned around.“No, that’s not what I’m talking about. Do you even know what a relationship is supposed to be built on? It’s love.”Charlotte looked completely unconvinced.“You possess a quality I’ve never encountered before,” she said calmly. “Someone like you is destined to climb higher and higher. Whether you want it or not, power attracts politics.”She folded her arms.“And once you reach the top, your life won’t resemble the one you’re living now. You may even be forced into marriage simply because survival demands it.”Rhys narrowed his eyes.“You sound like someone who has already given up.”For a brief moment, Charlotte’s expression changed.Then it vanished.She ignored the remark entirely.“Regardless, you proposed. So take responsibility for your words.”“Those are completely different things.”“Are they?”Her gaze sharpened.“For someone who came from another world, I don’t think they’re different at all.”Rhys felt his heart skip a beat.Outwardly, he maint

“How are you able to possess memories like these?”Rhys went completely still.For a moment, neither of them spoke.Then he folded his arms and forced a calm expression onto his face.“Do you honestly think I’m going to tell you?”Charlotte laughed softly.The sound somehow made Rhys even more nervous.“Why are you acting as though refusing is an option?”She leaned back in her chair.“If I truly wanted that information, there are countless ways I could obtain it.”Her smile widened slightly.“I am simply being polite by asking first.”Rhys swallowed.After everything that had happened over the last few minutes, he no longer doubted her.She had dragged him into an illusion without warning.She had reconstructed pieces of his memories.She had exposed details about him that nobody in this world should know.If she claimed she had a method of digging information out of his head, there was a good chance she was telling the truth.And that terrified him.Charlotte studied his face for a
