Ding!
[The Grimoire has developed due to your newly acquired Abilities!]
[A Special [Familiar Fusion Encyclopedia] Function has been created!]
[You can now register any Advanced Familiar within this Encyclopedia to easily summon them again with the necessary ingredients.]
"Interesting…"
I looked at my grimoire which was now shining brightly, gaining a brand new ability which was reflected into one of its empty pages being filled with new information. In there, I saw the "Guardian" Summon, and even the materials used to create it.

It even has hidden traits I have yet to discover? Interesting… I can tell, it has another type I didn't get before. What type could it even be? Earth maybe? Though… well, I'll eventually discover it.
"With this, I could try out new combinations later. Familiar Synthesis can also bring new summons, but they're weaker as they're permanent additions I can summon at any time without cooldowns." I said while analyzing everything.
Being a summoner was certainly more complex than I could had imagined, or perhaps this world's summoners were like this. Nonetheless, there's this one title I had yet to check.
-----
[Summoner: Lv1]
Skill Proficiency: 0/10000
A Title only given to the legendary figures of history, capable of summoning armies of hundred if not thousands of familiars to fight and protect humanity. If you possess this Title, you can already call yourself a Summoner confidently.
Increases the maximum amount of Familiars you can summon at the same time of each Rank by +15.
Reduces the cost of Summoning Familiar Cards (does not include Advanced Familiars) by -20% with each Skill Level.
Enhances all Familiars Stats and Skill Effects and Damage Dealt by +20% with each Skill Level.
-----
This was a nice Title as well, perhaps a bit too good to be true. But I'll take the passive bonuses. If this keeps leveling up, the maximum amount of summons I can have could truly reach a hundred one day, or perhaps thousands in the future.
I'll have to be patient and wait until that moment.

The next week came flying by as I trained and studied the many secrets and knowledges of this world. Like any other beginning of the week, we gathered inside the classroom. This time, however, many students seemed incredibly nervous. The first Dungeon Test was a rather merciless and harsh one.
Not completing the dungeon would mean being expulsed, I can tell why many were nervous, perhaps they didn't do it quite right, or maybe they didn't even do it and were waiting for a miracle. Whatever was the case, I had nothing to worry about, we had completed a E Rank Dungeon easily.
"It has been a week since the test announcements and we've received all the repots now." Hector said, the burly history teacher began reading his papers, quickly checking everything on them. "I will begin calling each group by their leader's name, and the points earned. Remember that 100 points is the perfect score, but you can pass as long as you net 50 points. These points are counted by our teachers, who analyzed each dungeon exploration each party had."
The students nodded; everyone was nervous.
"Ahem… Alicia Party! 52 Points, you pass."
"PHEW…"
Alicia, a young red-haired girl with freckles sighed. She was a proficient Alchemist, but not a good fighter. Nonetheless, her party managed to get 52 points at least.
"Anne Party! 31 Points, you're out."
"AAAGGGH!"
Anne was a black-haired girl that was always slacking around, her party seemed to lack enthusiasm, so I was already seeing this coming.
"Rosen Party, 73 points, more than qualified…"
"Heh, to be expected of the Rosen Party."
Rosen was a young blonde man coming from a faraway duchy, his powers were about controlling roses and vines. His party was made of his bootlickers, and he was incredibly selfish. Nonetheless, he was competent enough.
Like that, in between tears of both sadness and happiness, over half the classroom was expulsed. Even our party was shocked when they saw how many couldn't qualify, there was a serious lack of discipline in this classroom.
"Blake's Party… Heh, I wouldn't had expected less!" Hector said, all students suddenly glanced back at me. "100 POINTS! PERFECT SCORE!"
"WHAAAAT?!"
Even knowing we were all talented and strong, most of the classroom was wishing our scores wouldn't be as good, seeing how everyone failed miserably. We were the first to reach 100 points.
"H-How is that possible? 100 Points?! Did they destroyed the whole dungeon or what?!" Rosen asked furiously, his face filled with jealously.
"More or less." Laughed Hector. "They eliminated every single monster in there, cleared every single floor from all traps, defeated the bosses without breaking a sweat, and they even defeated a demon gate that opened right after defeating the boss, all in less than half an hour! Gahahaha! They're insane!"
The whole classroom gasped. Rose and others "self-proclaimed rivals" were flabbergasted.
"Yaaaay! We're the best!" Erika celebrated.
"I expected a good score but this is insane!" Elizabeth said.
"Great… this'll surely improve my terrible grades at writing tests… Phew." Sighed Chris.
"Wow, 100 points…" Eric was shocked.
"T-This is not what I expected…!" Alberta freaked out.
"Hmph! This is the bare minimum that my glorious self can receive." Elfriedden taunted everyone else, earning our classmates hate.
"Oi don't go saying that out loud…" Erdrich sighed.
Like that, our very first dungeon test was a total success.
As we experienced many other things through the next classes. Days became weeks, and weeks became months. And in the blink of an eye, the end of the semester was upon us, and with that, yet another insane test was approaching.
"The Semester is ending and that means an even harsher test, students." Hector said, our classroom was now reduced to less than half, but everyone was way more competent.
"E-Even harsher than the dungeon test we had a while ago?" Rosen asked, his face filled with dread.
"Yeah! This test includes a field trip to the Outer Wild Lands! All of you will work together and clean an entire Haunt from Monsters and the Demons living there! This is your test! If you don't pass as a class, you're all expulsed!" Laughed Hector.
"WHAAAAT?!"
While the entire class was terrified, I couldn't help but smile. This is such a generous opportunity to gain even more EXP!
