Others Summon Knights, I Summon Legendary Memes

Chapter 5: The Weirdest Student in the Academy

The second day at Arcadia Academy began with stares.

A lot of stares.

Too many stares.

Kael walked down the main academy path while feeling the eyes of literally every student on him.

Some whispered. Others moved aside. Others just looked terrified.

And honestly...

It was amazing.

"You know," Kael said with a proud smile as he walked, "at this point in the story, the protagonist would usually be locked in a depressing room after being expelled for summoning something weird."

Luna let out a small laugh.

She was wearing the black-and-blue school uniform of the lower-cycle students.

Unlike university students like Kael, younger students still had to wear mandatory uniforms.

"But you’re still here." freewёbnoνel.com

"Exactly!"

Kael lifted the sleeping cat in his arms slightly.

"And not only am I still here. I’m officially the academy’s main attraction."

"Meow..."

The cat didn’t even open its eyes.

Completely asleep.

Completely emotionally useless.

Several people moved aside the moment the feline stirred a little.

Kael honestly was starting to enjoy that way too much.

"I think they’re scared of it."

"Normal. Your cat exploded an Abyssal Beast."

"Minor details."

Luna sighed in amusement.

Then they both reached a fork in the enormous campus.

One path led to the university classrooms.

The other to the lower-cycle academic building.

Luna smiled.

"Well, see you later."

"See you at noon."

She started walking...

Then stopped.

And looked at Kael seriously.

"Remember."

"Hm?"

"If the rich girl proposes, accept immediately."

Kael almost dropped the cat.

"LUNA!!"

She ran off laughing before he could respond.

Kael sighed deeply.

"That girl is definitely going to sell me off one day."

"Meow."

"Don’t act like you’re not part of the problem."

The cat opened one eye.

Then went back to sleep.

Traitor.

Kael finally arrived at the main university building.

And the moment he opened the classroom door—

Silence.

The entire class slowly turned toward him.

More specifically... freewēbnoveℓ.com

toward the cat.

Kael felt the tension instantly.

No one was breathing.

No one was speaking.

One guy even started sweating.

The teacher, an older man with rectangular glasses, cleared his throat slightly.

"Well, well. The famous student has arrived."

Kael smiled awkwardly.

"I guess..."

"Since you’re late, take the chance to introduce yourself."

Kael looked around the full classroom.

There were at least thirty students staring at him.

And honestly...

He wasn’t nervous.

But he was very uncomfortable.

Because everyone seemed to be expecting something absurd.

So he simply said:

"Hi."

Silence.

No one responded.

Because absolutely everyone was still staring at the cat sleeping in his arms.

Then the cat slowly opened one eye.

And noticed the stares.

Absolute silence.

The feline slowly lifted its head.

And observed the entire class with existential annoyance.

Every student immediately tensed up.

Several looked away so fast they almost injured their necks.

One girl even dropped her books.

The cat yawned.

And went back to sleep.

The entire class exhaled at the same time.

Kael felt like laughing.

The teacher massaged his forehead.

"...Alright. Take a seat."

"Thanks."

Kael started walking between the rows of empty desks.

And then he noticed something strange.

There was a person sitting right next to an empty seat.

Sky-blue hair.

Elegant posture.

Cold expression.

"Good morning."

Seraphina Vale looked at him calmly.

Kael responded automatically.

"Good morning..."

Then he looked forward.

And two seconds later whipped his head back violently.

"Wait."

Seraphina watched him in silence.

"What are you doing here?"

"I’m studying."

"Aren’t you a third-year student!?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you in a first-year class!?"

The teacher finally reacted.

"...Lady Seraphina."

She slightly lifted her gaze.

"Yes."

"What are you doing in my classroom?"

"Studying."

"Your class must be waiting for you."

"I no longer belong to that class."

Silence.

The teacher blinked several times.

"...What?"

Seraphina spoke with absolute normalcy.

"I’m now a first-year student again."

The entire class froze.

Kael felt like he had just heard something extremely illegal.

The teacher looked horrified.

"That’s not how it works!"

"Why not?"

"Because you already passed first and second year!"

"Correct."

"And you graduated as the best student in the entire academy!"

"Yes."

"THEN IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!!"

Seraphina remained completely quiet.

The teacher looked seconds away from a mental breakdown.

Finally, he sighed in defeat.

"...Please go back to your classroom."

Silence.

Seraphina stared at the sleeping cat for a few seconds.

Then slowly stood up.

"I understand."

And calmly walked out of the classroom.

The door closed.

Absolute silence.

Kael stared at the door for a few seconds.

Then sighed.

"...I can’t believe the most perfect girl in the academy is actually this weird."

Several students immediately started whispering.

"Do they know each other?"

"Is she his girlfriend?"

"No way."

"But she came straight for him..."

"And she wanted to join his class..."

Kael felt an instant headache.

"We’re not a couple."

Silence.

No one seemed to believe him.

.

.

.

The Arcadia Academy cafeteria was completely full at noon.

Kael finally managed to find an empty table by a window.

And the moment he sat down—

Luna appeared carrying a tray full of food.

A ton of food.

"Why do you have so much!?"

"Because I’m happy today!"

She sat across from him excitedly.

"My class was talking about you all morning!"

"That doesn’t reassure me."

"They say you’re terrifying!"

"Excellent..."

Luna started eating happily.

"So? What did you do today?"

Kael sighed.

"Nothing important. Just a quick introduction."

"And after that?"

"Probably theoretical classes before real training."

Luna’s eyes widened excitedly.

"So you’ll be able to do missions soon!"

"That’s the idea."

Then—

A chair moved.

Kael felt an immediate chill.

And slowly turned his head.

Seraphina had just sat down next to him.

Silence.

The entire cafeteria froze instantly.

Kael stared at her in confusion.

"...How did you find this table so fast?"

"I followed you."

"That doesn’t make the situation any better."

Luna, on the other hand, looked delighted.

"Hello again!"

"Hello."

Seraphina responded calmly.

Then her eyes moved to the cat.

The feline was still asleep in Kael’s arms.

She stared at it for a few seconds.

Very intensely.

Too intensely.

Kael slowly hugged the cat tighter.

"No."

"I didn’t say anything."

"But you thought it."

Seraphina remained silent.

That practically confirmed everything.

Then—

A group of students came running into the cafeteria.

They looked agitated.

Very agitated.

"DID YOU HEAR!?"

"THE TRAINING HALL EXPLODED AGAIN!!"

The entire cafeteria reacted instantly.

"Again?"

"What happened now?"

"I heard someone accidentally released a combat creature!"

"What!?"

Kael raised an eyebrow slightly.

And at that exact moment—

[New chaotic situation detected.]

A screen appeared before his eyes.

[The Legendary Memes show interest.]

Kael felt a chill.

Oh no.

No, no, no, no.

That never meant anything good.
