Chapter 37
"Greetings everyone! Once again, it's that time of the year! The highly-anticipated event for first-year students in the first semester - The Summoner Race! My name is Runba Tess, a third-year student majoring in Summoning, and I'll be your commentator for today's race."
"Waaaah!"
The summoning practice ground was filled with excited students, erupting into cheers upon the introduction.
Celia's expression turned serious as she wondered, "Is this a test?"
While there were spectators present during the Knight department exam, the Summoning department's audience was on another level.
Not only was there a commentator, but the spectator seats were fully equipped with video magic to make it easier for viewers to follow the exam.
Celia's companion, Riss, erupted into laughter beside her. "The Summoning Race is a beloved tradition of our Academy and is even adopted in exchange matches with other hero academies, which only adds to its popularity," he explained.
"Excuse me, Student Council President, I'm from the newspaper club. Is the first-year student next to you, Celia Gerdinger, your younger sister?” he asked, brandishing a notebook and pen.
"Yes, she is."
