Chen Yang curiously accepted the ancient tome.
It still carried the warmth from Liu Yueyao's hands…
"This…"
On the page describing the Friend of Maidens constitution, there were illustrations—
All of them were ethereal silhouettes of curvaceous young women!
One had wings on her back, resembling a graceful angel…
Another had nine tails fanned out behind her—clearly a Nine-Tailed Fox in human form…
There was a long-eared elf maiden, armed with bow and staff…
And even a sultry figure with a tail shaped like a heart.
Chen Yang was no rookie—he instantly recognized that one. That looked like… a succubus?
"It seems… the beings you're able to summon are all maidens of different races from other worlds," Liu Yueyao said, her expression growing rather strange.
"Looks like it." Chen Yang scratched his head.
The surrounding students went wide-eyed, their faces turning green with envy!
"Holy crap, this is insane! He can summon girls from other worlds?"
"My eyes are sharp—I saw that book had succubus in it! I'm dying of jealousy!"
"Damn it, this isn't just being a Summoner—he gets to summon beauties too? Too blessed!"
"Ugh, how unfair! If all his summons are pretty girls, won't his standards for girlfriends become sky-high?"
"Wrong! Think about it—if he's summoning a whole squad of beautiful girls, does he even need a girlfriend anymore?"
…
Countless boys were burning with envy and jealousy.
Meanwhile, the girls who liked Chen Yang were fuming.
This so-called Summoner, summoning all these otherworldly maidens—so annoying! Were they here to steal away their crush?
"Alright, enough chatter."
Homeroom teacher Liu Yueyao coughed lightly to cut the gossip short. "Next, Su Qimeng, step onto the platform to change your profession!"
The job-change ceremony at First High School continued.
But after Chen Yang completed his job-change and registered, he left the school field on his own.
Some students enjoyed sticking around to watch others take their turn and gossip about it.
But Chen Yang didn't care much about that.
He was far more curious—
What kind of maiden would he summon first?
Ten minutes later—
Chen Yang returned to the one-bedroom flat he rented.
The place wasn't big, but it was warm and cozy.
Every Summoner's first summon was a sacred ritual, and Chen Yang wanted to treat it with proper solemnity.
Back home, he shut the doors and windows, drew the curtains…
And in his small living room, he closed his eyes—
Beginning his very first summoning!
It was a bit shabby, sure.
But he had no choice—he was a transmigrant, orphaned for eighteen years, surviving thanks to government subsidies…
After all, in an age where everything depended on strength—
Before he had a profession, he had no way to earn money.
With his meditation—
The lines of a magic formation began to trace themselves across the living room floor, glowing faintly as they twisted, connected, and intertwined…
Until they formed a pentagram formation!
A flash of silvery-white light filled the room—
And before Chen Yang appeared—
A stunning young maiden in a blue-and-white long dress!
Chen Yang blinked.
Big eyes. Long legs. And…
Cough, cough!!
Wasn't this a little too well-developed?!
Since she was his summoner, Chen Yang didn't bother acting shy—he openly sized her up.
"White hair!"
"Blue eyes!"
"Long ears… an elf?"
His very first summon—turned out to be a white-haired elf girl!
Her flawless features, jade-like pale skin, and that enchanting figure… Chen Yang couldn't look away for a moment.
But under his admiring gaze—
The newly summoned elf maiden grew visibly annoyed. She folded her arms across her chest, glaring.
"Human! Stop staring at me!"
"Oh? Just a summon, yet you dare be fierce with me?"
Chen Yang was surprised.
Weren't summoned creatures supposed to obey their masters without question?
"I am no ordinary elf!" the girl puffed her cheeks angrily.
"Mm. True enough."
Chen Yang's eyes flicked toward her chest, and he nodded approvingly. "Definitely not small. Quite… impressive, in fact."
???
The elf girl froze.
This human who summoned her…
Why was he so infuriating?
"How rude!"
She straightened her long legs, stretching up on tiptoe to look down at him with forced dignity. Her eyes glittered with haughty pride.
"I am a Princess of the Elves! Human, though you summoned me, we are equals—"
"A shorty wants equality?"
Chen Yang snorted.
Watching her comical effort, he stepped forward, placed a hand on her delicate shoulder—
And pressed her back down off tiptoe.
Now she was a full head shorter than him.
"Elf Princess, is it?"
Chen Yang's smile grew. "Well, you certainly look good enough. Let's check your stats."
[Elf Princess: Sylvie]
[Age: ??]
[Height: 165 cm]
[Weight: 46 kg]
[Bust: D!]
[Leg length: …]
[…]
???
Chen Yang stared at the screen, dumbfounded.
Wait, this wasn't right.
Shouldn't a summon's status panel show Strength, Constitution, innate skills?
Why the hell was it showing this kind of information?
