Summoned and Unwanted

488 Nice eggs

The Soulmancer class could not revive the dead nor use the spirits of the dead. The class is only hated by the elven race, unlike the Necromancer class, which is hated by all races.

Soulmancers could only collect the portion of the soul left in a recently deceased being. The spirit would contain a small portion of its ego and its features would be identical or slightly different than when it was alive.

However, even if this sounded powerful and dangerous, everything has a limit. An ordinary Soulmancer can only have one spirit serving them. Furthermore, their first Soul Servant is born from their soul.

Another rule constricted the true potential of the Soulmancer class, yet it made it less despised at the same time.

Animals and non-animal beings awaken differently. One group awakens a magic core while the other strengthens its soul by attaining a class. A Soulmancer could only take a small fragment of the soul of a recently deceased magic beast.

However, as the elven kind is a spiritual one, they despise the Soulmancer class because inside the magic beasts could be one of their ancestors returning from the afterlife and reborn into an animal.

Another Soulmancer constraint is the slow improvement of the class and no known advancement ever registered in history. Most can only manage to control one Soul Servant after decades.

The Soul Servants as born similar to Kazumi. The newly born soul that hatches from a soul egg will not retain its memories. Only its ego will remain.

Like the Soul Servants, Kazumi has no memories of her past. She only knows what Vincent knows and that is how she became intelligent with her hero class helping her understand better.

.....

Only the ego of her past life remains. However, as Kazumi possessed a class that transcends the world, she was able to recover a fraction of her memories here and there.

Jun Ye Rim cuddled with Blemish and fell asleep a while later.

*Half an hour ago*

Nick went to find Vivid and Lupa about half an hour ago. He had the urge to grow stronger and train with Lupa because he knew Vivid would hold his strength.

Nick looked around, but he couldn’t find Vivid nearby.

“I guess Vivid must be sparing with Vincent’s wife.”

Nick was sure Vivid was sparring with Lupa because when both of them were nowhere to be found around the mansion, they would be doing a light spar before calling it a day most of the time.

Nick approached the usual sparring area a few minutes later. A frown appeared on his face when he could only hear the footsteps of one person moving. As if only one person was nearby.

The closer Nick approached the sparring area, the more he could hear the faint sound of the second set of footsteps.

When the view of the sparring area wasn’t disrupted by the trees anymore, Nick saw Vivid and Lupa sparring as if it was a real fight.

*Gulp* ‘Is this a spar?’ Nick thought with beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Unfortunately, Vivid and Lupa had heightened hearing. They noticed Nick before he stealthily retreated and start tomorrow.

“Master, do you require something?” Asked Vivid as he blocked Lupa’s swing.

*Gulp* “Emmm... can I try sparring with Lupa for a few minutes? I want to grow stronger like you are.”

Vivid and Lupa stopped when Nick requested to spar nervously.

Vivid frowned and immediately said, “No.” While Lupa smiled and said, “Yes.”

“No.”

“Yes.”

“No!”

“Yes!”

Vivid couldn’t communicate with the excited competitive Lupa. He looked at Nick and begged, “Please Master. Think about your health. Lady Lupa is too strong for you at the moment and she doesn’t know how to hold back.”

Lupa became angry that Vivid was persuading Nick against sparing with her. She didn’t want to lose a new sparring partner.

Lupa crossed her arms and pouted. “Humph! I can hold back if it means my opponent can become stronger and give me more fun.”

‘Wait! Did I manage to make Lady Lupa agree to hold back? ‘ Vivid thought with a surprised expression.

However, Vivid wanted to confirm if Lupa was telling the truth. “Then why don’t you hold back when I tell you to? Hmmm?”

“That is because you are a strong wolf. Sparring as if we are playing isn’t fun. But because of the human in love with the other human female, I can sacrifice my fun for their mating.” Lupa proudly said while her tail wagged from excitement.

‘If this human accepts, I can tell my mate to comp... compensate me for helping.’ The Lupa cleverly thought.

Nick blushed and waved his hands. “It’s not like that!”

“Really? By I could feel your heat for the other human female.”

“No! It-it’s not like that...” Nick felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and hid inside.

*Cough* “Let’s change the subject shall we?” Said Vivid in hopes of stopping Lupa from making the situation worse.

*Sigh* “Fine. I will wait but do not take too long or that sneaky fox might be on Vincent’s lap when I arrive.”

Lupa went to sit on a log. After waiting a handful of minutes, Nick approached and asked if she could go very easy on him.

Lupa stood up and proudly said, “I will do my best.”

About ten minutes passed in the spar of Nick against Lupa. They were at the last exchange as Nick was reaching his limits to try to keep up with Lupa.

Nick swung his sword, but it missed Lupa. Her keen vision had already observed enough of Nick’s attack patterns to determine the direction of Nick’s next attack.

Lupa had sidestepped and easily evaded his attack. She swung her arm and stopped a couple of inches in front of his face.

Lupa smiled and said, “Death number...”

When Lupa couldn’t count more than twenty, her smile vanished and became serious. She raised her fingers, frowned from placing all her focus on her fingers, and started to count.

After a while, Lupa gave up. She looked at Nick who had fallen on the ground and continued, “Well... you died a lot.”

Lupa looked at the sky. “It has gotten dark.” She looked at Nick and continued, “It wasn’t that bad, but please learn to fight. Waving your arm is not that fun.”

Lupa turned around a ran away to ask Vincent to reward her for sparring with Nick.

*Sigh* “I told her to take it easy, but she doesn’t know how to fight without revealing her emotions.”

Vivid approached Nick and helped him get up. He noticed how Nick’s complexity wasn’t that great. Nick looked like a person that received the fright of his life.

‘I should not tell Master how he would have died over fifty times against Lady Lupa attacking with easy-to-read intervals and movement patterns.’ Vivid concluded it was best to keep this thought left unsaid.

“Don’t take it to heart Master. It took me a few days to realize how Lady Lupa looks at her opponent as her prey and she as the predator.”

“Sometimes I wonder if Lady Lupa had spent years surviving in the wild alone. Other times I wonder how Lord Vincent managed to tame her.”

However, Vivid’s small talk didn’t reach Nick’s ears. Vivid placed Nick’s arm over his shoulder and helped him go to his bedroom.

Later, in front of the Lionheart’s large bedroom was Plow extending her tails to open the door. When the door opened Lupa arrived. The two glanced at each other and rush to get to Vincent first.

Lupa outsped Plow and hugged Vincent. “I sparred with your human friend and I want a reward.” She said while tightening her embrace.

Plow quickly ran to Vincent and cuddled with his leg. “Plow made pointy ears smile. Pointy ears became happy because of Plow.” She said before he could respond Lupa.

*Pho* “Plow wants a reward too.” Plow added while acting cute.

Vincent facepalmed and told them he will consider only if Lupa keeps sparring with Nick and Plow become friends with Jun Ye Rim.

*Day 141 – 27 October – Tuesday*

The next morning arrived and a cat girl knocked on everyone’s bedroom doors. Pussy asked for everyone’s attendance in the kitchen because Clair had a surprise for them.

It took about half an hour for everyone to gather. The last to arrive was Jun Ye Rim being pulled by Lilith and Plow on her shoulder.

*Gulp* Clair mustered her courage and said, “I have made this food for everyone. Please enjoy and tell me how you feel.”

Clair removed the cloth covering the bowl in front of her. Inside was a hard-boiled egg for everyone. However, the hard-boiled eggs’ appearance was ordinary and plain. Only the taste could change everyone’s thoughts.

Vincent curiously focused his gaze and scanned the eggs. To his and Kazumi’s surprise, the eggs provided a beneficial boost.

Everyone other than Vincent took an egg. After they took a bite and chewed, their lips arched a smile. Soon they flooded Clair with compliments.

Clair was happy that the eggs she made with the intention to help the team tasted good. However, only one person didn’t eat an egg. It was the person who could use Inspection and learn details the others didn’t know before taking a bite.

“What do you think Vincent?” Clair nervously asked and her heart anxiously raced. She couldn’t wait to hear Vincent’s response, hoping it to be a positive one.

“Nice eggs. ” Vincent answered.
