Why Did You Summon Me?

Imagine being forced to live, after death, as incorporeal bodies trapped in a vast space of nothingness for thousands of years, with nothing to do but exchanging past memories with other cohabitants (read: weirdos). Everybody wanted out, but there was no way to leave the Void... Until one day, a young man was finally summoned, as a powerful but reluctant mentor, by a bubbly and motivated but completely naive young girl. Baiyi, finally out of the Void, was the only one who could save all of the other 32 souls from their prison and his summoner might just be The Key to their freedom. However, Baiyi had to use the techniques and abilities the other souls had taught him throughout the years, and together with his own extensive knowledge of anime and game tropes from his shady and dangerous past as an otaku, to face the biggest challenge of them all: training the clumsy young girl he was forced to partner up with… into a competent sorcerer!

An Offer You Can’t Reject

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The conversation did not end there. As they conversed, the topic gradually shifted to the stories the Church had spread about Baiyi. Baiyi proceeded to tell the story personally. As he talked, he watched Joseph's expression carefully.

The young man's face was indifferent, revealing neither upset nor relief; he may have just been listening to another typical story. He did not fawn over Baiyi, either. There was just no change to his attitude.

'It still holds true; all sorcerers are proud,' Baiyi said to himself internally.

Finally, Baiyi proceeded to state the true purpose of the meal, albeit in a more convoluted, roundabout way: he would like to have Joseph join his future academy, as one of the instructors, and he promised a hefty payroll of 100 gold coins per month. Although the pay was comparatively lower than Aya's 200 gold coins per month, his offer was still at least twice as much as a common lecturer's allowance.
