It's time to begin the ceremony, declared the professor incharge of this ceremony.
The names of the students where called one by one, after a while Christine's name was called for. I saw her standing up from her seat and heading towards the Summoning Circle.
A magic circle specifically designed for this Summoning ceremony.
She stood at the middle of the circle and released her mana as instructed by the professor, and then a bright glitter started to surround her enveloping her entire body.
Slowly, the glittering light turned into a bright pillar of light. After a while a hazy figure started to appear inside the pillar of light gradually becoming clearer and clearer.
Finally the pillar of light started to fade and I was able to see her , gracefully standing with her familiar on her hand, A gracefull bird with light blue feathers.
The professor, filled with excitement announced, How wonderful, the first A-Grade spirit of the year.
And a Blue Winged Dart at that.
Blue winged darts were a rarity in this age. They were excessively hunted for their feathers and magic stones as it was extremely valuable material for the Aristrocrats.
Having one of these as a familiar was considered to be the proof of one's beauty and strength.
Now, Although this is a momentful occasion, let's not delay the ceremony.
Next, Ray von Sky come to the circle.
I walked with a gentlemanly grace.
What is going to be Next!?
TO BE CONTINUED!
