12 years after the war, in a forest near a village, a young man sat down with a fencer, looking to his left, noticing some children looking at him from afar.
GHOST: You know, if you're late, you'll play less time.
CHILD1: Sorry, it was my fault. I took a nap and didn't wake up fast enough.
CHILD2: I told you!
GHOST: Reire, take care of them and don't leave them behind.
REIRE (summoned creature): Okay.
The children went to play with Reire while the ghost rested. Time passed, and as nightfall approached, they returned to the village only to find knights from a nearby kingdom.
IN THE VILLAGE:
GHOST: Why are they here?
VILLAGER1: Seeking some good skills.
GHOST: Oh well, go and say goodbye to my sister.
VILLAGER1: No, it's too late. They will leave tomorrow.
GHOST: Okay.
The ghost returned to his home.
GHOST: I'm home.
LISA (his sister): I don't want to go.
FEMALE KNIGHT: But your skills will be wasted if you don't sharpen them.
GHOST (to his mother): What's going on?
GHOST'S MOTHER: Your sister has been chosen to attend the school in the Golden Kingdom, and she doesn't want to go.
LISA (looking at Ghost): Ghost, my little brother, don't let them take me.
GHOST (looking at her): What do you want me to do? Just go, it's better for you.
LISA: I hate and love your kindness, but this is not the right time to think about my future.
FEMALE KNIGHT: Yes, as your brother said, it's better for you. You will sharpen your skills, which will make you more powerful.
LISA: Okay, under one condition.
FEMALE KNIGHT: What is it?
LISA: He will join the school after he turns 15 years old, even if he's not good enough.
GHOST: That hurts.
FEMALE KNIGHT: Deal.
The night passed calmly, and in the morning, the knights and the chosen ones left for the Golden Kingdom. Two years passed, and Ghost is now 14. One day, the village was attacked by a swarm of monsters.
GHOST'S FATHER (with the village leader): Lead everyone to a safe place. Ghost, stay behind with some swordsmen.
LO: We need to slow them down.
LIAM: Do we have any other choice?
GHOST: Yes, we do.
LO: Huh?
GHOST: Retreat for now. I will deal as much damage as possible with my summons, and then you can clear the rest.
ALEXE: You do realize you may die here.
GHOST: As long as I deal damage, I'm good with everything.
Time passes.
GHOST: Drago, unleash!
A dark fog covered the place, and a great dragon figure became visible within it. With one flap of its wings, the fog cleared.
DRAGO: You ain't surviving this, young one.
GHOST: I know. I don't have much time. Use everything you have.
THE OTHER SUMMONS IN GHOST'S HEAD: It was nice working with you.
With a soft movement of Drago's hand, magical circles appeared, firing every type of attack, vaporizing everything in their path.
GHOST: Is it over?
DRAGO: Yes, it is. May you rest in peace, old friend.
Ghost's eyes slowly closed, and his lifeless body fell to the ground.
He heard his mother calling his name, opening his eyes to see her smiling that he's still alive. Another year passed, and the Golden Kingdom knights came back with Ghost's sister in their lead.
GHOST'S MOTHER: I can't believe that you are a teacher at the best school in this kingdom.
LISA: Yes, I am, and I'm here to pick up the next generation of legends.
GHOST'S FATHER: Hahaha, that's my daughter! And say hi to your siblings.
LISA: What?
GHOST'S MOTHER: Oh yes, we got twins after you left, one year apart.
LISA: They are so cute. And talking about siblings, where is Ghost?
FATHER: He went hunting.
Suddenly, they heard steps approaching. The Kingdom knights were ready to fight.
GHOST'S MOTHER: Oh, they are here.
LISA: What?
GHOST'S MOTHER: That's Glayethe, a golem Ghost summons.
LISA: What...?
A giant golem made of metal showed up in the village. It didn't look like a normal iron golem; it had unique features and intricate details, as if someone had carefully crafted it.
MALE KNIGHT: I sense the summoner. It's that boy over there.
GHOST'S MOTHER: That's Ghost.

LISA: He looks different.
The twins ran towards Ghost.
TWINS: Big brother!
Glayethe put the prisoners down on the ground.
GHOST: Retreat.
Glayethe disappeared as if it was never there from the beginning.
GHOST with a smile: Lisa, you're back. Long time no see.
LISA: Yes, long time no see.
The day passed normally, and by the next morning, they left for the Golden Kingdom.
Lisa asked Ghost: "What's up with this dome around the village?"
Ghost: It's a spell made by a mage who visited the village months ago. As long as you have the idea of hurting the village or anyone in it, it won't let you in. And if you get the idea after you've entered, it will push you out.
Lisa: That's nice.
Hours passed, and they arrived at the Golden Kingdom.
Lisa: Ghost, take this money and go to this inn. You'll stay there for the next three years.
Ghost: Okay.
Ghost went to the inn and showed the receptionist his student card.
The receptionist: "A new student. Welcome. Ask for anything you wonder about. Your room is number 7, and these are the keys."
Ghost: Thank you.
Ghost went to his room, put his luggage down, and went for a walk around the kingdom. A summon in Ghost's head asked, "Aren't you afraid to get lost?"
Ghost: No, I have a good memory, and I'm able to summon Golden Eye to lead me back.
Golden Eye: You only summon me when you get lost. Am I a compass for you?
Ghost: Yes.
Cosmeque Blease: That hurts.
Golden Eye: Shut up. He doesn't even summon you.
Cosmeque Blease: You've got a point there.
Ghost noticed some men harassing two girls.
Reire: Should we help them?
Ghost: That's none of my business.
Drago: First time you make a good decision.
Ghost: Look who's talking.
Drago: Next time you'll summon me, I will kill you myself.
Ghost: Sorry.
Servress: She's looking at you.
Fall: Just go and help them. If I were there, wouldn't you help me?
Ghost: You're one of the girls that I'm afraid of.
Fall: What do you mean by that?
Ghost: You'll kill me and them if we approach you.
Nero: He didn't lie in this one.
Fall: Shut up, or you'll be the first one down.
Nero: No, Ghost is only able to summon one of us at a time.
Ghost: No, if I try hard, I can summon three of you.
Fall smirking: You're dead.
Nero: sigh Why do you do me like this?
Ghost: Hey, you!
Thug 1: Huh?
Ghost: Reire, unleash!
A cold breeze hit the place. A figure appeared before the four thugs, looking at them.
Reire: Boo.
The four thugs: Sorry.
They started running away.
Girl 1: You saw us, but you did not help us from the start.
Ghost: Reire, can you go and bring those four back?
Girl 2: No, don't mind my friend here. She's... you know.
Girl 1: I'm what?
Girl 2: Nothing. Thank you for helping us. How can we pay you back?
Ghost and most of his summons smirking: Hehe.
They gave him two golden coins and left.
Two days passed, and it's the first day at school. At the entrance:
A girl to Ghost: Move, you peasant.
Ghost: Huh?
The girl: I said move, peasant.
Ghost: Look deep into my eyes and say it again.
The girl, looking at Ghost dead in the eye: Mo... Huh, why do I feel warm?
Ghost: Who made you wet yourself?
The girl: Servant!
Her servant hurriedly covered her up and took her away.
Drago: You knew that would happen.
Ghost: No.
A boy: Hahaha.
Ghost: You are...
Boy: Leonardo, call me Lio.
Ghost: You know her?
Lio: Yes, she was always like that.
Ghost stared at this boy for some time: I saw you somewhere.
Lio: Who knows?
Ghost: You are...
Lio: What?
Ghost: I'm a summoner, and you are...
Lio: Oh, a mage.
Ghost: Okay, have a nice day.
Lio: Yes, see you in the test.
Ghost went to the training ground to pass the entrance test.
Teacher F: Everyone, line up. Tell me your name and your least mana-consuming summon and the most.
(Student will be referred to as S)
S1: Ice Fairy, Ice Dragon.
Teacher F: Ice-type summon, interesting.
S2: A bird, Fire Golem.
S3: Hmm, my least consuming is a wolf, and the most is a wyvern.
Everyone was shocked to hear about a wyvern.
Ghost: Wind Fairy and something called Inferno.
Teacher F: What is this Inferno?
Ghost: Inferno.
Teacher F: Okay, next.
The line passed, and after some time:
Teacher A: I am the one who will test you in this part. I need you to summon your least-consuming and most-consuming summons.
A girl: Why do you look stressed? It's just summoning, Ghost.
Ghost: It's not like I can't summon the second one, but I can't.
The girl: My name is Rose, and what do you mean?
Ghost: Nice to meet you, and...
Teacher A: Next, Ghost.
Ghost: Fae Unleash.
Teacher A: A fair good, next.
Ghost: Retreat, I can unleash it.
Teacher A: Why?
Ghost: It's like a magical circle more than a normal summon.
Teacher A: In detail.
Ghost: It's a massive dragon that's too big, so instead of him showing up, he casts a magical spell that forms a magical circle from which fire comes out and destroys anything within its range.
Teacher A: Summon it. Let us see this power.
Ghost: It's too big.
Teacher A: How big?
Ghost: Bigger than the school, and I'm at the center of it.
Teacher A: Okay, next.
Rose: What was that?
Ghost: What do you mean?
Rose: You and the center.
Ghost: Oh, it's a last resort type of summon.
Rose: Ah, I see.
The test went by, and the day was over. The next day started, and the classes began.
