Chapter 22: Soul Mate
「 Ethan Ramirez 」
"Where are we going?"
「 Liam V'kriss 」
"No idea..."
"But Ms. Melor wants us to meet at the Summoning Hall."
「 Sophia Rodriguez 」
"What do you think is the reason?"
「 Liam V'kriss 」
"Beats me..."
Ms. Melor left a note on the class's bulletin board for her students, instructing them to meet up at the Summoning Hall for a really important task that morning. All of them headed toward the hall in an orderly manner, filled with curiosity and anticipation.
As the students gathered in front of the grand Summoning Hall, whispers of speculation filled the air. They exchanged puzzled glances, wondering what awaited them inside.
The massive double doors of the Summoning Hall swung open, revealing a grand hall adorned with shelves lined with ancient tomes. At the center of the hall stood Ms. Melor, a warm smile on her face, ready to unveil the purpose of their gathering.
「 Ms. Melor 」
"Greetings, my lovely students."
"Today, we shall perform an important ritual."
「 Penelope Irons 」
"A ritual?"
"You mean... like a ceremony?"
「 Ms. Melor 」
"Yes... Something like that, Penelope."
"A very important ceremony to prepare yourselves."
"Before you earn the responsibility of possessing a Gear."
"Are you ready?"
The students exchanged excited glances, their curiosity growing as they eagerly awaited the details of their task. Zanno's curiosity was piqued, unable to contain his enthusiasm.
「 Zanno 」
"What are we going to do, Ms. Melor?"
「 Ms. Melor 」
"Today we are going to summon your Gear's eidolon!"
「 Ares Tallbane (excited) 」
"Yeaaaaahhh!!!"
"Eidolon!"
"Emm..."
"What is that, Ms. Melor?"
「 Ms. Melor 」
"An eidolon is a familiar which will reside in your Gears, to help you manage the mana flow in your Gears, in general."
「 Ares Tallbane 」
"Yeah... I knew that!"
Ares was overjoyed even though he hadn't the slightest idea of what Ms. Melor was talking about. Ms. Melor chuckled softly, appreciating Ares' enthusiasm even if he didn't fully grasp the concept yet.
「 Ms. Melor 」
"Don't worry, Ares."
"I will explain everything..."
"An eidolon is a spiritual being, a companion that will bond with your Gear and assist you in channeling and controlling mana within your suits."
"They possess unique abilities and can provide guidance and support while using your Gears."
「 Liam V'kriss 」
"That sounds incredible!"
"How do we summon our eidolons?"
「 Ms. Melor 」
"Summoning an eidolon is a personal and profound experience."
"Each of you will enter the Summoning Chamber one by one, where you will connect with your helm and establish a bond with your eidolon. It requires focus, concentration, and a deep connection with your own magical essence."
「 Lily Thompson 」
"Will we be able to choose our eidolons?"
「 Ms. Melor 」
"Normally you can't, Lily."
"But on rare occasions, a person will summon multiple eidolons."
"If that happens, the Summoning Chamber will bring forth manifestations of the potential eidolons, and you will have the opportunity to interact with them."
"Your compatibility and connection will guide the selection process, allowing you to choose the eidolon that resonates with you the most."
「 Lily Thompson 」
"This sounds like an incredible opportunity. I can't wait to meet my eidolon!"
「 Ms. Melor 」
"Patience, Lily."
"The Summoning Chamber will reveal all in due time."
"But remember, this ritual marks an important milestone in your magical journey."
"It signifies the beginning of a partnership that will shape your future endeavors as Gear owners."
Excited and determined, the students eagerly followed Ms. Melor into the Summoning Hall. The Summoning Chamber awaited them, a sanctum of magic and discovery. As they entered one by one, they prepared themselves for the profound experience that awaited them, ready to connect with their Gears and meet their eidolons.
Within the Summoning Chamber, each student would undergo a personal and transformative encounter with their potential eidolon. They would forge a bond, choose their companions, and unlock new dimensions of their magical abilities.
Ms. Melor explained what needed to be done, as she observed the ritual from a magical deck near the chamber. One by one, the students of Class 1 Red entered the Summoning Chamber to perform the Eidolon Summoning ritual in alphabetical order.
"Alright Ares..."
"You are up first."
"Just stand in the center of the magic circle and relax."
"The Magic Runes inside the chamber will do the rest."

◣◥◣◥◣◥◣◥◣◥◣◥◣◥
As Ares stepped into the center of the magic circle, a soft glow enveloped him. The ancient Magic Runes etched into the floor beneath his feet emitted a gentle hum, resonating with his magical essence. Ares closed his eyes, allowing himself to relax and focus on the connection between his Gear's helm and himself.
From the depths of the Summoning Chamber, a majestic figure emerged. Konan, the Sipirt Wolf, materialized before Ares, his form a blend of ethereal magic and untamed wilderness. With its Tuscan-brown fur, Conan exuded an air of strength and loyalty.
「 Konan 」
"Greetings, young Ares."
"I am Konan, the Sipirt Wolf, here to guide and protect you on your magical journey."
"Together, we shall traverse the realms of Aena and unlock the true potential of your Gear."
Ares, filled with awe and excitement, bowed respectfully to Konan.
「 Ares Tallbane 」
"I am honored to have you as my eidolon, Konan."
"I think you and me will be good friends!!"
「 Konan 」
"Indeed, Ares."
"Our bond shall grow stronger with each step we take."
"Trust in our connection, and together, we shall achieve great things."
As their partnership solidified, Konan's ethereal form dispersed. Ares' helm will be its home from that day onwards. Walking out of the Summoning Chamber, Ares couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence.

「 Ms. Melor 」
"Now Zanno, you are the only one that has no eidolon yet."
"Are you ready?"
「 Zanno 」
"Of course, Ms. Melor!"
「 Ms. Melor 」
"You may enter the Summoning Chamber, Zanno."
Zanno slowly advanced to the center of the Summoning Chamber in his wheelchair. The rest of the class was not paying any attention to Zanno as they all had already acquired their eidolons.
"Just relax Zanno…"
"And feel the…"
As the Summoning Chamber's runes and magic circle intensified their glow, a hushed silence fell over the room. Eyes widened in surprise as the unexpected surge of magic filled the air. Ms. Melor instinctively took a step back, her gaze fixed on the spectacle unfolding before her.
Within the chamber, Zanno sat in his wheelchair anxiously. The intense energy enveloped him, and he could feel a tingling sensation coursing through his veins. His heart pounded in his chest as he braced himself for what was to come.
Suddenly, a brilliant burst of light erupted from the center of the Summoning Chamber, illuminating the entire room. The light danced and swirled as if time itself stopped at that moment.
From the depths of the brilliance emerged fourteen ethereal figures. Seven of which was black and the rest were white. The figures then coalesced into a single entity, a majestic being that radiated both darkness and light. The figure stood before Zanno, emanating a sense of power and mystery.
Zanno, in his wheelchair, looked on in awe and wonder as he beheld this extraordinary being. The entity spoke, its voice a harmonious blend of deep resonance and melodic tones.
「 Olivia 」
"Hello dear…"
「 Zanno 」
"Mom?"
"How come you are here?"
「 Olivia 」
"I was given a directive to reside within your Gear's helm and act as your eidolon from now, my son."
「 Zanno 」
"A directive?"
"By whom?"
「 Olivia 」
"It is not the time for you to know it yet, Zanno."
「 Zanno (excited) 」
"Well… I guess it's better this way."
"I can freely talk to you from now on."
"No need to hide anymore!"
「 Olivia 」
"I think that is one of the reasons why I was given the directive."
After their brief chat, time resumed and all eyes were on Zanno as he exited the Summoning Chamber."
「 Ken Brodley 」
"What was that bright flash just now?"
「 Zanno 」
"I have successfully summoned an eidolon!"
「 Sophia Rodriquez 」
"What's the name of your eidolon, Zanno?"
「 Zanno 」
"Ermmm..."
"Mom."
