(Isnāt it possible to have a summon hunt for me? Canāt I make a summons squad or something?)
Currently, I move around and hunt in this large area. Using Eagles, I find the magical beasts, run towards them, and then defeat them. I repeat this same process again and again.
The fact that I am able to give instructions to my summones from more than 50 meters away with <Sharing> means that I may be able to hunt with my summons alone. If I could make my summons act separately, I have a feeling that my hunting efficiency would increase endlessly. This is because once I summon a Beast, it will remain in its summoned state 30 days in a row.
I will be able to hunt the entire time even when I am working in the mansion.
(First I need to investigate how many summons I can use <Sharing> at once. Eagles come out.)
Three new Eagles appeared in front of me. I activate <Sharing> on each of them.
(I am <Sharing> with four Eagles simultaneously and have five different visions but I donāt feel uncomfortable at all.)
Even in my previous life, there were gamers who used multiple activations to control four characters by themselves. When I was Kenichi, I remembered that I was limited to two characters. However, the current five views spread out in front of my eyes, but there was no strain on my brain at all. As a matter of course, I could understand five views at the same time.
(Multiple activation, or parallel thinking? Okay, I am out of Eagles, so letās continue with Tama(s).)
I summon one E-rank Tiger and use <Sharing> on it. Thatās when.
āBoom! Thatās it!ā
As I was using <Sharing> on the sixth summon, I felt a sharp pain in my head. The pain was so great that I fell to the ground, clutching my head. In a panic, I cut off the <Sharing> with the sixth summon.
(Huh? Itās gone? I thought I was going to dieā¦ I had a severe headache when I tried to connect with my sixth summon. Is five my limit?)
After this incident, I found out that I could turn off the <Sharing> at any time. After four Eagles, I tried <Sharing> on second Tama, the sixth summon in total, and I felt a severe headache.
I had a strong headache, and the pain made it impossible for me to activate <Sharing>.
(Does this mean I can only share with five summons of the same rank?)
Iām afraid of the pain, but I really need to find out how many summons I can activate <Sharing> on simultaneously. Fearfully, I erase a card E-rank Insect Swallowtail and summon a G-rank Insect Pyonta.
(All right. Activate <Sharing> with Pyonta!)
Pyonta would be my sixth summon if the <Sharing> succeeded, but when I tried it I felt a severe headache.
(Is five really my limit? I can only use <Sharing> on five of my summons, regardless of their rank? Mmm, why is that?)
My <Summon> level has increased and I can now summon up to 50 summons at once. However, it would be a shame if I can only use <Sharing> on 5 summons simultaneously. I need to find out why only five summons.
I donāt have enough information, so Iāll check the status again.
(<Sharing> is like <Inventory>, it doesnāt have a level. This means that these skills donāt have growth potential, so theyāll stay the same. No, I donāt understand why I can only use <Sharing> on five summons simultaneously without any reason. Why five?)
(Can I share more if I increase my level? Iām Level 31, so doesnāt that mean every 6 levels I can use <Sharing> with one more summon. And then thereāsā¦ hmm? Is this because of [Intelligence]?
I suddenly had an insight. I can currently use <Sharing> on five of my summons simultaneously without any problem. But, when I try to use <Sharing> on the sixth one, I get a severe headache. Itās all happening in my head.
My [Intelligence] is currently at 1075, including my blessings. It may be that the number of summons to be shared depends on my [Intelligence]. I think I can verify this without having to raise my level.
(If [Intelligence] is a requirement, I can assume that one summon requires 200 [Intelligence] for <Sharing>.)
Now that I have more slots and can summon D-ranks, I will summon D-rank Birds. Iām aiming for 1200 [Intelligence]. If Iām right and each summon requires 200 [Intelligence] to use <Sharing> then with 1200 [Intelligence], I should be able to use <Sharing> on the sixth summon simultaneously.
(Okay, Iāll test the D-rank Grass later. Now that I have 1200 [Intelligence].)
Pyonta was still summoned next to me.
(All right. Activate <Sharing> with Pyonta.)
I prepare to stop <Sharing> as soon as I get a headache, and prepare myself to minimize the intense pain.
But my fears were unfounded, and I had the lowest ground scrape view Iāve ever had.
āWhoa! I can now use <Sharing> on six summons simultaneously. <Sharing> depends on [Intelligence]! My guess was right. 200 [Intelligence] per summon.ā
I was overjoyed when my guess turned out to be correct.
An hour has passed by since then.
Experiments on <Sharing> have been completed for the most part.
No mana requiredĀ Every 200 [Intelligence] allows one more slot in <Sharing>I can enter my summonās consciousness and give it instructions, including special skills.I canāt give instructions to another summon via a summon whom I am instructing using <Sharing>.Sight and sound can be shared (taste was not tested)Summon must be within 50 meters range to initiate <Sharing><Sharing> can be disabled even from a distance of more than 50 meters.Summons with less than 100 [Intelligence] canāt accept instructions via <Sharing>.A summon connected via <Sharing> can be converted into a card even if it is outside the 50 meters range.The card is automatically stored in the holder if a summon is carded outside the 50 meters range.
(Well, I guess thatās it. I am instructing them and not controlling them.)
When using <Sharing>, I can give instructions to my summons, but they are only instructions. I donāt control my summons. Therefore, there is a time lag before the summon starts moving after receiving my instructions. The reason why the summon moves close to my idea is because we share the same consciousness to the level of images.
(Also, if I kill a magical beast at a distance of more than 50 meters, I get the experience.)
When organizing a summon squad, I checked to see if I could get experience at a distance of more than 50 meters. I got experience as usual, so getting experience beyond 50 meters seems to be no problem.
(So, this is how a Summoner uses his [Intelligence].)
I remember taking a magic class last November as my wish for serving Cecil for a whole year.
At the time, I was shocked that I couldnāt use magic, and the S-rank [Intelligence] stat was something akin to cursing for me.
(Both Mages and Grand Mages must have high [Intelligence] since they have to memorize such difficult symbols to cast spells.)
During magic class, I was taught that one had to memorize a geometric, complex and countless number of symbols to invoke magic.
In the games that I had played when I was Kenichi in my previous life, professions that used magic often had high [Intelligence]. I had a vague idea that this was because they could use difficult magic.
I learned that having a high level of [Intelligence] had a proper meaning today.
I have a high level of [Intelligence], so that I can memorize complex symbols, grasp multiple summons views at the same time, and do other things that an ordinary person would never be able to do.
(I think I have done enough experiments on <Sharing> for now. Iāve got a lot of D-rank magical stones, so Iāll get right to it.)
I feel that <Sharing> will greatly expand my options as a Summoner. The next step is to verify the D-rank summons.
Translatorās Corner
Last week, something that shouldnāt have happened, happened. Itās totally our fault. There was some miscommunication between Totoro and me. So, I have uploaded last weekās worth of chapters and todayās at once. We will take some counter-measures so this wonāt happen again in the future.
