After that a week passed. As usual, I was researching teleportation with Fitts-senpai.
It's something I realised recently but there are some similarities between teleportation and summoning. The magic circles are similar. The colour of the mana light is also similar.
However, there are some decisive differences; that is 『People cannot be summoned』.
No matter the summoning magic, people can't be summoned. Magic beasts, ghosts, plants... all of these can be summoned but people can't be.
Whether in literature, documents or stories, there are no mentions of human summoning. Humans, demons, beast people... though there are many types in this world, as long as they're designated as people they can't be summoned.
However, neither I nor Fitts-senpai are experts in summoning so though I say they're similar it's not a strong assertion. However, there's a part that I'm stuck at.
The 『summoning of living people』 can't be done.
Then what about just their 『soul』?
"..."
I don't speak of it. However, I thought that it would be good to ask an expert about it. The wandering soul of someone from another world. Would that be possible to summon?
"Fitts-senpai, could you see if there's a teacher who's knowledgeable about summoning?"
"Eh? Mn, got it. But I don't think there's anyone at this school who knows about anything but enchanting-type[2] summoning, you know? Are there really any teachers who know about what we're researching...?"
Is that so? Speaking of which, there really wasn't 'summoning magic' listed amongst the available courses, huh. I noticed the things that I was familiar with, but didn't pay much attention to the things that I wasn't. However, enchanting was categorized under summoning? Did I see that in a magic textbook?
"For now, there's probably nothing we can do but try searching for one."
At that time, unease sprouted in my heart. I didn’t let it show. It's a needless worry.
There shouldn't be any connection.
That disaster happened when I was 10. It had been 10 years since I had reincarnated. Right, in those 10 years, nothing had happened at all.
There shouldn't be any connection.
