SS1: Contract
…
1 day before Yang’s summoning
The grand audition hall was in a ruckus.
After thousands of failed attempts over the thousands of years, they have finally successfully summoned a hero.
A boy with black hair and black eyes slowly got up and looked around. He was wearing a normal white school shirt and tie with black pants and had the face of an ikeman.
The summoned hero, slowly got up from the circle and glanced around.
His gaze slowly shifted around the great hall. There was only one floor and four banners hanged on the walls on the two sides with one in the middle.
The banner down the middle had a red snake like dragon coiling around a golden sphere.
Under the banners on both sides were many paintings. Some were so real that it seemed like it would just come alive.
The hero then looked at around and saw many people standing on the sides of the red carpet and then he slowly directed his attention to the front, where an old man wearing a red cape with white fur along the rim sat on a throne chair. He was wearing a big red robe with dragon emblems all over it.
To his left were two young men. One looked like he was 12 and he wore blue long sleeved shirt along with black long pants and the man beside him looked like he was in his 20s and wore a long sleeved red shirt and red long pants.
To his right were three women. They looked around 17 years old, 14 years old and 10. They wore a red frilly dress, a blue frilly dress and a green one respectively.
To the old man’s right was also another old man wearing a blue magician’s robe along with an old wooden staff with a blue gem on top.
The old man with a staff slowly walked up to the hero.
“Nice to meet you, hero-sama, I am Illysp, the royal magician. We have summoned you to help us win the war.”
“War?”
“The oracle states in the near future there will be a war, it will be so big, it will encompass the whole continent.”
“In this world there are seven races. Each race have their own kingdom, the human kingdom, Aeris, the beastmen kingdom, Bachris, the spirit kingdom, Choris, the demon kingdom, Demris, the elven kingdom, Elkris, the dwarf kingdom Farfris and the dragon kingdom, Grahris. Each of our kingdoms are surrounded by monsters and dungeons, isolating us from each other for the better or worse.”
“we’re not certain what we’re going to war with yet, but with the other races all having traits special to their race making them stronger than us and with the monsters that being so numerous and strong, they basically control this whole continent, we’re not sure we can win, which is why we tried to summon a hero, our saviour.”
“You want me to be a saviour? I’m just a normal high school student.”
“You were summoned through the hero ritual, meaning you stronger and grow faster than other humans, along with a higher soul class which boost your stats.”
This time, the old man on the throne slowly got up and asked the hero,
“So are you willing to become our hero? Hero-sama?”
“I… I’ll do it.”
The king with big smile on his face said,
“Great!”
“Please enlighten us on the name of our saviour.”
“My name is Haru Saito.” He said with a bow.
“Good, Lucy, please take our dear hero to our best guest room and teach him about status, tomorrow we’ll distribute the royal treasures and start everybody’s training.”
“Yes Daddy” said the 17 year old girl as she left with the hero taking him to the best guest room, the king looked at the 12 year old young man wearing blue and asked,
“Son, what kind of person is our hero?”
“I’d say there’s a 90% chance of being a kind-hearted fool.”
“What of the other 10%?”
“…”
“That bad?”
“…”
“…”
“10% chance of a pervert… Did you see him staring at Lucy’s chest.”
“AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”
And the crowd slowly dispersed the hall to rest because they all knew, the next day was going to be a long one…
…
(guest room)
“This shall be your room Saito-sama”
As the hero walked in, he saw a beautiful large room, decorated with all kinds of splendours with a huge red bed on in the middle.
As the Haru was admiring the room, Lucy began to explain to him about status.
After some time passed, Lucy finally noticed he wasn’t paying attention and…
*Slap* “Are you ready to listen yet?”
“Oh right, what were you saying again?
“… You didn’t hear a single thing?”
“Uhh… sorry?”
“UGH! Just chant status in your mind.”
As soon as the hero did, a blue box appeared in his mind.

State:
“Um, Lucy right?”
“Oh right I didn’t introduce myself, how shameful.”
“My name is Lucy Aerisia, the first princess of the kingdom.”
Lucy introduced herself with a slight bow.
“That doesn’t matter, now why does status show my name twice?”
Lucy’s face turned a little red out of anger, but she bared with it.”
“If a person is a reincarnated person that remembers their past life or if they’re a summoned one, the bracket name represents their old name. It also grants the person a free translation skill, bonus exp and hints on how to use their skills, a hero discovered this my using Analysis on it a long time ago.”
“Now let me teach you about our history.”
As Lucy started talking, Haru instantly fell asleep.
“UGHHHH, he drives me crazy, I swear one of these days I’m going to die of anger.” Lucy muttered as she left the room.
…
The next day, at the dining table.
The king, his two sons and three daughters sat around the dining table along with the hero.
When everyone has sat down, the king said, “Before we introduce our family to the hero, can someone please tell us, why the hero’s cheeks are swollen.”
Lucy immediately turned red and looked away, while the 12 year old boy wearing blue couldn’t suppress his laugh and started to snicker. The hero muttered, “Um… An accident happened…”
And at this point, the boy couldn’t stand it anymore and started to laugh out loud.
If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Lucy immediately stood up and screamed,
“KAZUKI!!!!!! YOU SAW DIDN’T YOU!”
The 12 year old boy was wiping tears from his eyes and replied “yes one-chan”
“And you didn’t help me!?”
“Sorry, I was too busy laughing from what was happening.” And he continued laughing
The king looked to the boy sitting on his left and asked,
“So Kazuki, can you enlighten us on what happened to our hero?”
“Yesss, this morning when I went to check on the hero to determine his personality, I saw nee-chan, going to wake him up, so I followed her and when she tried to wake the hero up, he wouldn’t, so she tried to drag him up.”
“what she pulled on his arm, she got dragged down instead and he started using her breast as a pillow, then she started slapping his face to wake him up, but instead he put his face further in to avoid getting hit, so she was trying to hit him to wake him up, while he was using her breast as a shield.”
At this point, lucy’s face was really red and she was glaring at the hero, while he just sat there and ate his food in silence, as for the rest of the royal family, they were either laughing with the king and kazuki or had a beet red face.
After they had finished their breakfast, they all gathered in the grand audition hall.
People were lined up on both sides as the royal family slowly walked to the throne.
Haru whispered to Lucy, “So what’s going on?”
“The King is going to split the royal treasures and assign each of us our missions.”
“What? Doesn’t the princes and princesses just fight for the throne and live a steady life?”
“Not our family, the king assign the children their roles when he decides the time is right and each children will follow that path for life.”
“Wow, that’s harsh, don’t any of you have any say in this?”
“Nope, don’t worry you don’t have to do anything, just stand there and try to not act stupid.”
“Ok… WAIT HEY!”
As he shouted, everyone turned their eyes to him.
“Sorry…” he meekly replied
Lucy whispered to him,
“Didn’t I just ask you not to be stupid 10 seconds ago?”
“…”
As the king sat down, he started the family ceremony.
One by one the children walked down and faced the king and then knelt down.
“First prince Ryouta Aerisia, we present to you, the royal cane, you will succeed me as the king.”
“Yes!”
“Second prince Kazuki Aerisia, we present to you the god class summoning scroll, after you turn 16 years of age, you are to follow the hero on his journey, but until then, you will attend Mahoushen Academy.”
“Yes!”
“First princess Lucy Aerisia, we present to you the mystical holy shield, you will help the hero on his journey.”
“Yes!”
“Second princess Miu Aerisia and third princess Yui Aerisia, we present to you, the mystical class holy and dark magic spell book, you two will also go to Mahousehn Academy until you’re 16 and then help the hero on his journey.”
“Yes!”
“Yes!”
“I Aeris Aerisia the 13th declare the family ceremony to be over!”
As the king concluded the ceremony, he then told the servants to bring the artifacts along with the holy sword which he is going to present to the hero.
The first item to arrive was the summoning scroll, so he gave it to the second prince and told him the method to use it.
The second prince Kazuki cut his finger with a knife, put a drop on the summoning scroll and threw it into the center of the hall.
The circle lit up the whole room and slowly a girl emerged from it. She had pale while hair, one white eye and one red eye, her pale white skin and her beautiful face shook the heart of every man and woman in the room.
As she slowly emerged, the room fell silent and they all put their attention on her.
The king ordered his royal mage, the one old man with a blue robe to his right, “ Illysp, check her status, use Overdrive Analyzation, if you have to.” The Overdrive Analyzation was a unique skill to Illysp that allow him to fully identify a person who’s soul class was at most one higher than his, which was mystic for him because he has spirit class soul from his hard work, or he can spend all his mana for 50% chance to view 3 portion of their status.
The old man replied, “Sire, I see her stats still, I’ll be using up all my mana, prepare some guards for yourself.” As he said this, his face started to turn red and stagger, due to mana exhaustion.
He muttered, “level 1, Yang Guang(Yin An), Holy magic(god): None)” as he was using all his strength to stand.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The next moment, the assassin hidden in the group of guards, saw the royal mages complex, and decided to take action.
He stabbed a hole in the girls chest with a spear and ran towards the second prince.
The king’s elite guards quickly reacted and stabbed a hole in his chest and he dropped dead.
At the same time, the girl started to shake.
The king noticed this and ordered, “Pull out the spear, try to preserve her life at all cost!”
The soldiers quickly reacted and pulled out the spear and right after they did, the wound started to close itself.
The soldiers were all shaken by what they had just seen and didn’t know how to react.
A random soldier who was the most calm amongst the shaking soldiers told the king, “Sire, It closed by itself and it seems she’s fine.”
And the hall once again was filled with a ruckus.
“What is she?” (random noble A)
“Monster!” (random noble B)
“Is she a zombie?” (random noble C)
“SILENCE!” the king yelled and the hall once again was silent. He then asked the girl,
“What is your name?”
The girl continued to shake but did not reply.
“What is” and before he could finish his sentence, she fell.
“You, the solder over there, take her to the second best room we have and put her in the bed, also you the one beside him, help the royal mage to his room.”
After the soldiers went to carry out his order, the king made an announcement.
“That girl survived with a hole in her chest, her soul class is above mystic class because not even the royal mage could analyze all of her stats, she also has Holy magic at god class at lv 1, with white hair, a white eye and pale white skin, I think she’s a newborn Holy god and a reincarnated one at that.”
The hall once again became loud as the nobles started discussions amongst themselves.
“Kazuki!”
“Yes!”
“She was summoned by you, so that means she’s your “Guardian”, take her with you to the school, teach her and help her, she’ll be a great asset to the kingdom.”
“Yes father!”
“Now all of you can go back to rest.”
And everyone left the hall one by one, thinking that this little girl would be the one of the saviors of their kingdom from the upcoming war, but not one of them knew, she would be the cause of it instead.
