A Girl Who Was Told “You Have No Talent” Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster

“I don’t summon anything.
If all I do is summon a Summoned Beast to fight, I’m no better than a second-class Summoner.
A first-class Summoner makes a contract with the Summoned Beast and uses its power.”

 

Combined with the fire that the branch manager displayed, his words had weight.
It drew the interest of the spectators, who had been skeptical of the branch manager earlier.

 

The branch manager responded by shooting a pillar of flame upward and releasing a hot blast of air.
The crowd lost their balance, Litty and the instructors endured, and Catalana folded her arms in protest against the hot air.

 

Kuufa–

 

“I see, you are clad in Aquaria.”

 

By covering her entire body with Aquaria, the spirit of water, she was able to establish a protective barrier.
With a few days of training, Kuufa had mastered the basic link with Aquaria.

 

The question was how quickly the Summoner’s thoughts could be transmitted to the Summoned Beast.
This could be honed by training, but compatibility was also important.

 

In this respect, Mc Creed and Fane were a good team, but not compatible with each other.

 

“Then I will show you the power of the Efreet I have contracted.”

 

The branch manager shot a pillar of flame at Kuufa.
The rotating flames scattered hot air around the pillar, which had a wider attack range than it appeared.
It hit Kuufa’s water armor, and the sizzling sound of evaporation echoed.

 

“It’s not going to last long, is it? That defense of yours is going to turn into boiling water at this speed, y’know?”

 

“A, Aqua Road!”

 

Kuufa, in response, refined several columns of water from her water armor and scattered them in all directions.
After that, she immediately escaped into one of them and avoided the branch manager’s attack.

 

Thanks to Aquaria, Kuufa would not die from not being able to breathe inside water.

 

“You’re so clever…! How about this, Blaze Storm!”

 

The branch manager raised one arm to the heavens and turned the pillar of flame into a tornado, increasing its firepower in an attempt to vaporize the very path of water Kuufa was fleeing from.

 

From the path of water whose temperature was slowly increasing, another path of water was created.

 

“Just running away! It seems that’s all you can do!”

 

“Kuufa-san…!”

 

Litty’s hands were sweating, hoping Kuufa would win but Catalana kept watching unfazed, while the instructors grew noisier.

 

“Catalana! If we don’t stop this, the girl will die!”

 

“Efreet and Aquaria, their power balance is about the same.”

 

“There is no way to generalize a comparison between Spirit and Phantom Beast, but the problem is the branch manager! We don’t know it for sure, but he probably paid a terrible price to get that power!”

 

“Yeah! He definitely paid a hell of a price for that power!”

 

The branch manager’s expression was distorted as he manipulated the flames and his mood improved after seeing the changes.

 

Seeing this, Litty felt that he was drowning in power rather than enjoying the battle.

 

“I simply offered my daughter and her husband! Efreet demanded it! As you can imagine, I was perplexed too! After all, I had just had a granddaughter and was at the height of my happiness! I thought about refusing, but when Efreet showed me a glimpse of his power, I didn’t care anymore…”

 

The branch manager was heating up Kuufa’s escape route, and the water path generation was slowly lacking in comparison with the heating.

 

If the branch manager was human, he would never do such a thing, Litty thought.

 

“Since they vanished instantly, I don’t even feel the loss.
Burnt souls are Ifrit’s favorite food, and so I acquired this power.”

 

“Litty-chan!”

 

Catalana held down Litty, who was about to jump out, unconsciously.
That brought Litty back to her senses.

 

Litty knew in her head that if she continued to be an adventurer, unexpected things would happen.
Was that branch manager really a human, Litty questioned with rage burning in her heart.

 

She struggled to piece together the torrent of thoughts swirling in her head.

 

“Ca, Catalana-san… what is wrong with that person? Why would he do something like that…”

 

“You don’t need to understand someone like him.
There are plenty of such people in this world.”

 

Catalana’s simple answer gave Litty’s numerous questions a pause.
Litty felt that further thoughts about this would be foolish.

 

After calming down, Litty felt uncomfortable when looking at the branch manager’s face lit by the red light of the hot flames.
When she thought that it resembled something, she naturally worded out her thoughts…

 

“A demon…”
