After all the chaos, we finally began training together.
I had them line up as I prepared to teach the lesson on familiar control.
For some reason, I felt excited—as if I were a military commander issuing orders on the battlefield.
Envi laughed at me, saying I didn't suit the role at all. The other heroes looked like they were struggling to hold back their laughter too.
I cleared my throat. "Enough! Let's begin. One by one, summon your familiars."
Serena, Cain, Theresia, and Freya began their summonings.
I started with Serena. She cast an ice-elemental magic circle that slowly brought forth her familiar.
It was my first time seeing it, and I was stunned.
A white stag emerged—graceful and majestic, like something out of a northern legend. Its antlers shimmered with crystalline ice, its bluish-silver body exhaled cold mist that froze the air itself. Wherever it ran, the ground below turned to intricate spirals of frost-covered runes.
