CH.409 Pan’s Powers
“Are you sure that is a good idea? I an, we are talking about sothing that will most likely be legendary grade. Showing it off might get us so not so welco attention.” Wilma said, when I told her about the competition.
She naturally did know of it, and had apparently even taken part in so junior version of the competition when she still lived in Smorog. And no, she did not win and no, the reward for the lesser divisions isn’t an orichalcum ingot. That one is the reward only for the open competition that anyone can take part in.
“Not like we don’t already have people’s attention inside the Kingdom. Besides, with what is happening up north, there is a chance we will have to intervene. And even if we don’t, the fissures don’t care about borders.”
“You say that, but the only ones that have appeared have all been inside Ruiso Kingdom.” Wilma pointed out.
“Not my fault. Bla the world.”
“I’d rather not. And that is besides the point. My point is, maybe we shouldn’t show that kind of weapon in a competition.” Wilma said.
“... so you aren’t taking part?” I asked.
“I didn’t say that. I’m just saying we aren’t using the Blade of Space and Ti for what we show there. And besides, I think we should let Karl take the center stage for it. He does have sothing to prove, I don’t.”
“... alright. I won’t force you to. I just thought it would be funny.” I told her. “Can you tell Karl about the competition?”
“I will.” Wilma said. “And if I do co up with sothing I want to build, I might also take part.”
“Oh, and I ran, well almost ran, into your teacher.” I told Wilma about my brief encounter with Claus.
“Really? How was he?” Wilma asked.
“... older than your mories of him. And I didn’t actually speak with him.”
“Oh. … That’s … too bad.”
“Age is a bitch. Maybe you really should take part in the competition. Perhaps he will be watching. Make your teacher proud and all of that.” I told her. “And even if you don’t want to show the Blade of Space and Ti, we can always use so install BS to make a weapon that gives its user strength. That should guarantee first place.”
“... I don’t really want to cheat in a competition. We could make one to sell in the auction, but I don’t want to actually enter it in.”
“Sure. If that is what you want.”
After I told Wilma about the competition, the news spread around HoBase. And that led to soone else also thinking of a different kind of competition.
“Maybe I should take part in the adventuring tournant.” Unika pondered.
“Didn’t know that was a thing. When does that take place?” I asked.
“Every year. But it is slightly different each year. One year it is ‘the best adventurer’ which is an individual tournant, other years it is a team tournant, other years it is sothing like ‘best archer’ or ‘best tar’.”
“That’s … surprisingly nice. I guess since that is the case, the sa person can’t just win year after year because they are the strongest.”
“Do we know the competition for the year?” Alice asked. “If it’s magic, I’ll go and win it.”
“It’s never magic.” Lua said. “That falls under the Sage’s tower.”
“Do they have one?”
“Not that I know of.”
“They should.”
“Probably a safety concern.” I pointed out. “Not everyone can just resurrect people.”
“But you can. We should totally host our own tournant.” Alice said. “We can even hold it in the Factory. That way, even if you die, you won’t actually die. And we wouldn’t even have to worry about environntal destruction and your monsters could act as organizers and judges.”
“... sounds like too much work.” I told her. “But if you want to, I’ll help you out. But you are the one in charge, not . I’m just there to be the one that actually has the Factory.”
“If you do host one, you should contact the main adventurers’ guild about it.” Lua noted. “They will likely want to know and they can advertise it for you.”
“... I should totally host a Yugioh tournant.” I said to myself. “I could duel the winner and give a Card Summoner skill orb and so rare cards as a reward.”
“You know no one actually knows how to play that ga.” Lua pointed out. “I an, Alice and I do know a bit, but not enough to really challenge you.”
“That is what makes it perfect. Because no one knows how to play, everyone will be playing on an even field.” I responded. “And if the reward is the skill orb and sothing like … Felgrand Dragon, I feel like at least those who know of Card Summoner will take part.”

(Alright. Thanks Laura. I’ll make it now.) I responded to Laura who inford that the ‘final’ form of the dinsional telescope was ready and uploaded to the Chaos God Core.
And before you say anything, I know I could have Wilma make the telescope housing for , but it requires a lot of tiny lenses made of crystal, so it would be extrely difficult to produce without calling in experts. So it is just better to use HoBase to manufacture the base telescope and then I install the card into it.
I’ve also been itching to summon more monsters. Hiśaila is amazing already, but I could use a few more. And I do want to know if Pan can really just pick any monster from the ‘summon monster’ dinsion.
And if she can, I do want to try to make a new version of the summoning magic circle which links directly to a dinsional telescope and allows for the summoning of the monster the telescope is aid at.
But to do that I need data on how Pan’s abilities work. And to do that, I need a ‘willing’ summoner to help with forming a few contracts.
And no. I didn’t actually have to force Unika to help . She was willing to do so without having to be forced.
So after I made the telescope and set it up near our now permanent summoning circles, which also have a mana refill station close by so that you can top off your mana after a summoning attempt, we were ready to summon so monsters.
Well first I have to summon a spirit.
“Alright Pan. I need you. Summon Beast Spirit.” I said, as I held an A-rank monster core in my hand. After all, a spirit does need a focus point from which they can form their body and for Pan, monster cores are great.
… actually, Iris and Lachros don’t really need one, but I suppose that is because Space is literally everywhere and Ti is … well, I don’t really know. Ti just is, I suppose. I an, I clearly know that Ti is a thing that exists and I can even manipulate it with magic, but it is still strange to put into words.
Freaking fourth dinsional paradoxes.
But back to what we are doing. Pan, using the monster core as a focal point, made her cat girl body appear around it.
“Hello!” She energetically greeted us, before going on a lanting streak. “I heard you summoned a ton of the other superiors for sothing fun. Why didn’t you call for that?”
“... Pan. We were making a sword blade. Aka. we were working with tal. And if I rember correctly, you aren’t the biggest fan of it.”
“I don’t hate tal. I just don’t like your cheaty chains.” Pan pouted. “But I guess I wouldn’t have really been a big help in that, so I’ll forgive you.”
“... is she really a superior spirit?” Unika asked. “... isn’t she a bit too … childlike for that?”
“Hey! I heard that!” Pan called out. “I might be the youngest of us, but I’ve earned my title as the Superior Spirit of Beasts!” As she said that, she was letting off an oppressive aura that felt similar to that of so of my monsters. It wasn’t quite on the level of the God monsters, but I do think it is close to the aura that Sorcerer of Dark Magic lets out.

Pan and Unika then began scanning the world, while I also opened up what they were looking at onto the admin screen. I didn’t want to bother the two since they seem to be having fun, so I can just watch over from here.
After a bit of searching, Unika found sothing she wanted to try summoning. The monster was a multi-tailed fox, feeding Unika's fox obsession. But I think what really made Unika want to try to summon it was the fact that the forest fox she has a summoning contract with in the pack the multi-tailed fox was leading.
“Sure. So a multi-tailed fox from around that area, accounting for low level summoning magic…” Pan muttered. “... We need about 2000 mana for that.” Pan stated.
(Laura, which circle does that match to?) I asked. I could calculate it myself, but reverse calculating the magic circle size from the required mana wasn’t the easiest, as you’d have to square root the mana amount before dividing it by 4.
And since I have a computer in my head, I can just ask her to do advanced math.
(Just over 11 ters in diater. But we don’t have one that size. The nearest is the 12 ter circle, so have her use that.) Laura said. (And since Unika doesn’t have the 2300 mana required to fill up the 12 ter circle, make sure she can pull more from HoBase.)
I told Unika as much, before moving the mana refill station so that Unika could use it while also filling up the magic circle. She then began to fill the circle with mana, while also making sure she herself didn’t run out.
And when the circle was full, Pan did sothing with it as it was summoning a monster. And like we wished for, a multi-tailed fox appeared before us.
I quickly turned to look at the dinsional telescope and confird that we had in fact summoned the very beast we were just looking at. That confird the fact that the dinsion we are looking at is the summonable monster dinsion, and that we can target a very specific monster with Pan’s power.
After a bit of talking between Unika and the fox, with Pan sotis taking part, the multi-tailed fox got unsummoned, as the mana from the magic circle faded.
“So, did you succeed?” I asked.
“Didn’t you hear?” Pan asked.
“Sorry, but I don’t speak beast and you were speaking beast.” I pointed out.
“Oh right. I forget you can’t do that, as it feels like you can do almost anything.” Pan said.
“I did manage a contract.” Unika said. “... it is a bit mana hungry though, so I can’t really use it much.”
“You’ll get more mana. That is the nature of stats. They grow. I an, look at . I have a mana pool of over 10,000 now. So ti ago, I’d have assud I’d never get that far.”
“... Yes. I’ll get there. … I hope.”
