Supreme Hunter of Beautiful Souls-Chapter 118: Spiritual Invocation

Mizuki then stepped forward, drawing the attention of all the students with her calm and controlled presence.

"Now that you have a basic understanding of what it means to summon a spirit, let's talk about the process itself." She placed the three-tailed fox on the floor next to her chair, and with a gentle movement, gestured with her hand. "Summoning magic is not something simple. It requires not only knowledge of spiritual energy, but also a deep bond with the spirit you wish to summon. The stronger the spirit, the more difficult the summoning will be."

She paused, letting the words hang in the air, as if she wanted each student to reflect on this.

"Spirits are classified into three categories," she continued, "Low, Medium and High. Low-level spirits are the easiest to summon. They are small, weak and generally linked to natural elements or simpler forces. Medium spirits have more power, more intelligence, and often have mastery over rarer or more complex elements. High-level spirits are extremely difficult to control. They are powerful, rare and often possess abilities that defy human comprehension."

The three-tailed fox next to Mizuki raised one of its front paws, as if to emphasize her master's words. It was a magnificent creature, with shimmering pink fur that seemed to shine subtly in the light of the room. It looked at the students with bright, attentive eyes, as if waiting to see who would approach it with the intention of summoning something.

"As I mentioned," Mizuki continued, "the spiritual energy that each of you possesses will determine the success of your invocation. That's why not everyone has the ability to summon high-level spirits right away. But don't worry, even Low or Medium level spirits can be extremely useful, depending on the situation."

With that, Mizuki paused, allowing the students to absorb the information. She seemed to know that some were already working on their minds, wondering what kind of spirit they could summon.

"Now, let's try it yourselves," she finally said, with a challenging tone. "Concentrate, take a deep breath and visualize the spirit you want to summon. It won't be easy. Prepare to feel the pressure of the energy circulating around you. If you fail, don't worry. Failure is just an opportunity to learn."

The students began to move, some more confidently than others. Some opened their summoning books while others stood, their eyes fixed on Mizuki, awaiting further instructions. Kael, as always, remained silent, his fingers lightly touching Umbra's necklace. He knew she was there, but he also knew that summoning another spirit, as she herself had said, would not be easy. He wasn't sure if he was ready to summon another spirit, but the desire to know more about the process, about spiritual power, kept him motivated.

Mizuki stepped back a little, giving the students space to concentrate and begin summoning the spirits. She watched intently, her calculating gaze roaming the room.

"Start when you're ready," she said. "I'll be watching."

The first students to try were visibly nervous. A dark-haired boy tried to concentrate, his trembling fingers moving through the air, tracing complicated shapes in the void. He muttered low words, trying to conjure up the spirit he wanted. Moments later, a small flame of fire appeared before him, floating in the air like a candle dancing in the breeze. It was a fire elemental, but clearly of a low level. The flame soon dissipated after a brief pop.

The boy looked at it with a triumphant smile, even though he knew the summoning wasn't particularly impressive. "I did it," he said, more to himself than to the others.

Mizuki nodded in approval, but without letting too much enthusiasm show. She knew that everyone would start with lesser spirits. Summoning a Medium or High level spirit was something that rarely happened among beginners.

Another student tried next. A girl with silver hair approached with determination. She closed her eyes and whispered the words of invocation while deftly moving her fingers. In response, a gentle breeze began to circulate around her. A small wind spirit appeared, floating beside her with a shimmering, translucent aura. It was a wind fairy, small and delicate, but with a light and cheerful presence.

"Nice try," Mizuki said, smiling slightly. "That's a medium-level spirit, a wind fairy. They're useful, but they have unstable energy. Be careful when using them."

Other students kept trying, with some summoning simpler spirits, such as water and earth elementals, or small creatures that seemed derived from nature, such as fairies or animal spirits. Each invocation, although an important step for the students, hadn't brought anything surprising so far.

It was when a student with red hair and an expression of pure confidence stood up, with an arrogant smile on his face, that something more remarkable happened. He began his invocation with a grandiose movement of his arms and a burst of mana. The words of invocation came out of his mouth clearly, and he concentrated all his spiritual energy on it. Moments later, the air around him vibrated, and suddenly an imposing figure appeared before him.

It was a Fire elemental, but not just any elemental. This one had an overwhelming presence, with flames that burned intensely, as if created by a primitive and powerful force. Its form was massive, with an aura of heat so strong that it made the room tremble slightly. The elemental, although still of Medium level, was much more impressive than any other spirit summoned so far.

The surrounding students were stunned by the intensity of the summoning, their eyes wide with surprise and admiration. The red-haired boy, who now seemed extremely pleased with his creation, watched the elemental with pride.

"Well done," Mizuki said with a smile, now clearly impressed. "That's a mid-level fire elemental. It's not something you see every day."

Despite being a Medium-level spirit, the elemental was visibly stronger than the others that had been summoned so far. It floated around the student with a powerful aura, its flames dancing furiously in the air. All the students around couldn't take their eyes off its form. It was an impressive spectacle, something no one imagined they would see in a class.
