My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

He felt strange about why that was the case for most of them.

As someone who has lived a total of two lives and knows the consequences of not studying well, he has always been diligent this time around.

Due to that, he had always topped the class ever since he was aware of it.

Teacher Julian maintained a composed expression, though there was a hint of pity in his eyes. "Lucas, you\'ve awakened an Unranked Grimoire. Remember, the journey ahead depends not solely on the grade of your grimoire but on your perseverance and hard work."

Although he said that, Lucas was aware that it was all for formalities. Deep inside, he knew that Teacher Julian\'s expectations for him went down the drain the moment he awakened an Unranked Grade Grimoire.

Due to him being at the top of the class, their expectations for him to awaken at least a Silver Grade Grimoire were quite high. Now that their expectations were not met, there would be bound to be changes around him.

Lucas nodded, though the weight of disappointment bore down on him.

Perhaps due to the fact he only awakened an Unranked Grade Grimoire, Teacher Julian and Teacher Christie did not bother to let him summon his first contracted beast.

Instead, he gestured for Lucas to return to his seat as he called out to the next student, "Hector, come in front."

The two students, Lucas and Hector, passed by each other. One was feeling down, while the other had a smirk on his face as he went through his own awakening.

Back in his seat, Lucas saw Anjie staring at him with a complicated expression on her face.

Anjie was Lucas\' childhood friend. They have been familiar with each other since they were little, but it was only around high school that they began to get close to each other.

In truth, their relationship was progressing much faster, and they were only a shy away from formalizing or announcing their romantic relationship.

Lucas smiled wryly as he looked at Anjie. He did not know what to say. He could not tell her that he still has a system to rely on, right?

Just as Lucas was about to talk to her, a commotion suddenly resounded at the front.

A resplendent light blinded everyone. The Awakening Ball let out a glow that was never seen before.

"A Gold Grade Grimoire?!"

"A Gold Grade Grimoire?!"

Teacher Julian and Teacher Christie\'s voices, full of surprise and jubilation, echoed in the air. As the closest to the Awakening Ball, they were the first to notice the golden light emitted by the Awakening Ball.

Hector stood there, a wide grin spreading across his face as he basked in the golden light.

The room erupted in astonishment. They had never seen anything like this before. The Silver Grade Grimoire awakener was already a surprise earlier; how more now that someone has actually awakened a Gold Grade Grimoire?

"Unbelievable! A Gold Grade Grimoire!"

"He\'s going to become a legend!"

Teacher Julian, regaining his composure, addressed the class, "Everyone, please calm down. Hector, you\'ve awakened a Gold Grade Grimoire. Congratulations. You have a bright future ahead of you."

Teacher Christie also nodded at Hector. She had high expectations for this child.

There has never been a Gold Grade awakener in Starlight Academy. Being the first, Hector was bound to become famous and strong in the future. The Starlight Academy would also spare no effort in nurturing him from now on.

It could be said that Hector had just become the Golden Boy of Starlight Academy, quite literally.

Hector\'s grin widened as he summoned his grimoire, the golden book appearing in his hands with a powerful force. With a confident gesture, he activated it, and a majestic lion emerged, its mane blazing with golden light. It was quite massive, even much bigger than a regular sedan.

The class watched in awe, some with envy, others with admiration. However, one thing was clear: Hector had become a brilliant figure that all of them must show respect and fear from now on.

As they say, a person\'s fate was determined the moment they awakened their grimoire.

Even Lucas himself could help but feel envy upon seeing that Hector, the dumbest in the class, awakened such a high-level grimoire. But he quickly shook it off, reminding himself of his own potential and the system he had yet to fully utilize.

Hector was immediately surrounded by the inquiries of his classmates.

When Lucas turned to look at his side, he noticed that Anjie was no longer there. She had also gone to Hector, inquiring about his newfound abilities.

As the rest of the awakenings continued, Lucas sat quietly, deep in thought. The excitement in the room was palpable, but he remained focused on his own goals. This was just the beginning, and he was determined to make his mark, no matter the challenges.

The ceremony finally concluded, and the students were dismissed. "Alright, settle down and pack your things. Those who did not awaken Silver Grade Grimoire and above can now go home and rest."

"You must also prepare for tomorrow, as you guys will be entering your very first dungeon to train your abilities," Teacher Julian continued with a wave of his hand.

The students stood up one after the other, preparing to leave.

Compared to before, there were now a lot more people surrounding Hector. Previously, it was Lucas who received such treatment for being the class genius. However, the situation has now changed, and the tables have turned.

Lucas awakened the most useless grimoire, while Hector awakened the most brilliant one.

The spotlight that had once belonged to him was now in Hector\'s grasp.

As a transmigrator, Lucas\' view on such a matter was actually quite normal. He was not a person obsessed with fame and attention. As long as it didn\'t affect him, then everything was fine for him.

"Anjie, let\'s go?" Lucas stood up and stared at Anjie beside him.

Since the two of them were neighbors, they had always walked home together. Today, Lucas expected it to be the same.

However, a few seconds had passed, and Lucas received no response from Anjie.

He looked at her once more and noticed that she did not even bother to look at him.

"Anjie?" He asked once again.

"Oh, sorry. You go home first. I\'ll hang around for a little bit," she stated without even bothering to look at him. Her gaze was fixed on the figure surrounded by their classmates.

"Why? I can wait for you if you want," Lucas replied.

Just as he said so, an arrogant and loud, booming voice echoed in the room, startling everyone, including Lucas himself.

"If she doesn\'t want to leave with you, then she doesn\'t want to leave with you, idiot!"
