Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"Did you have a good class today?"

"Who would have thought of hunting monsters in a classroom?"

"I didn't expect there would be a summoner among the instructors. Future classes are worth looking forward to?" After class, the first-year students left the classroom excitedly.

This may be because most of the courses in the first half of the year are based on "basics" and there are many repetitive courses. However, the courses in the second half of the year provide opportunities to put what you have learned into practice.

Thanks to the summoner himself summoning the monster, students can learn hunting methods safely and perfectly. How can you not be satisfied?

"How fresh." Cardin seemed to like the new course as well. He looked at instructor Valentina with satisfaction.

"Summoner. It's said to be a profession similar to the Necromancer. I didn't expect to see this rare profession with my own eyes." Unlike the Necromancer who resurrects the dead, the Summoner captures monsters or signs contracts with magic.

I didn't expect one of the few summoners in the kingdom to be at the academy.

"She said she's new this semester?" New instructor for the new semester. The students left the classroom with expectant expressions, and it seemed that it was not just because the course was interesting.

"The lizardmen summoned today should be monsters that have not been contracted, right?" Instructor Valentina summoned a total of 33 lizardmen in today's class.

Strangely, the Lizardmen do not seem to obey Instructor Valentina and will act freely even without any orders.

"How do you capture monsters?" I've only heard of this profession. How do summoners capture monsters? The void space cannot hold living things.

"I'll have to ask when I have the chance next time." After packing all his luggage, Cardin slowly stood up from his seat and walked towards the classroom entrance.

"Um, are you Cardin?" As soon as Cardin reached the classroom door, Instructor Valentina hurriedly caught up and grabbed Cardin.

"Hmm? Ah, yes. It's me." Cardin immediately turned around and looked at Valentina who was approaching.

"Nice to meet you. As far as I know, you are the top student in the first grade, right?" Perhaps because he was embarrassed to answer directly, Cardin nodded and waited for Valentina to say next.

“Are you free this weekend?”

"No special appointments. I plan to do some personal training."

"Can you do me a favor, if you can?"

"Help?" It was really surprising. Although we were in a teacher-student relationship, we had only chatted briefly. Suddenly, he made a request.

"I need to capture a monster for the next class, and I need help." Valentina continued with a bright smile.

"It's not a compulsion, it's a request. It's okay even if you refuse. You can ask someone else." It is not uncommon for students to help instructors prepare for lessons.

"Can I ask why you're talking to me about this first?"

"I heard that Cardin is the strongest among the first graders." It's not something that can be asked of anyone. If he refuses, I might ask Blanche, who is ranked second. Valentina said this with a slight smile.

"It's not about hunting monsters, but about capturing them intact without getting hurt. It could be dangerous." Hearing her words, Cardin nodded in understanding.

After all, it might be harder to capture a monster intact than to kill it. At least someone who has time to capture the monster is needed to assist Valentina.

"I have no reason to refuse." In fact, he was also very curious.

How exactly does a summoner capture monsters? This time, I have the opportunity to see summoners fighting and capturing monsters, which is indeed an attractive suggestion.

"Of course. We will also provide appropriate compensation. Helping others requires corresponding gifts." Valentina stretched out her hand as if to shake hands, and Cardin finally decided to shake her hand.

"Okay. Just tell me the time and I'll come to you on time." "Then let's do it this weekend. Simply pack your luggage and come to the training ground after sunrise."

A few days later, on the weekend morning that he had agreed to meet Valentina, Cardin followed her instructions and arrived at the training ground after sunrise. He soon found Valentina waiting for him in the empty training ground.

"Cardan! I'm here. I didn't expect you to come out so early?" Valentina saw Cardin and waved happily, and Cardin immediately walked towards her and bowed.

"I came out early in the morning. I didn't expect you to be waiting for me."

"I just came out too. Here, take this first." Valentina took out two pieces of parchment from her arms and handed them to Cardin.

"This is a teleportation scroll. Unfortunately, it's for one person only, so we have to set off separately." Cardin, who was thought to be going by car, looked at Valentina with surprise.

"Oh, of course. The expenses are not personal, but supported by the college. Because it's all for the classes."

"I see." It looks like this trip will be easy, Cardin looked at the parchment in his hand.

"Use the scroll tied with a red rope first. The one tied with a blue rope is the magic scroll that takes you back here." Valentina said this and took out a magic scroll from her pocket and unfolded it.

"Can you tell me where we're going? I didn't hear anything." She was about to tear open the scroll when Cardin asked hurriedly.

"Oh, I forgot. The place we are going to is an ice cave with frost trolls." Frost trolls are undoubtedly classified as high-risk monsters.

It is one of the most dangerous high-level monsters.

“Where we’re going is scarier than I thought.”

"Don't worry, I'm here. I won't let my students do anything dangerous." Of course, Cardin was not worried at all.

Although it's a pity that he can't summon Luna, Death Knight, and Corpse Mountain Golem, Cardan is not afraid of Frost Trolls.

"This is my first time going to the advanced dungeon." And this time I'm going with the instructor. As long as I stay with the instructor, there will be no danger.

"I see. Shall I rip it open now?"

"Yes. I'll go first, and you'll follow right up. See you later, then."
