Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"My innate ability is called Soul Contract. I'm thinking about using my innate ability to create the cloud-repelling device."

"What? You can do—mmff!" Charlotte's mouth was suddenly covered by Vivian.

"You shut up for a bit!" Vivian sighed. She turned back to Nathan. "I can't allow that. If you're going to expose your innate ability, the world might look at you differently. The attention you have garnered right now will multiply. Some people might even force you to do something you don't want. Even with the Dragon King here, I don't think it's enough."

Nathan shook his head. "It's true that doing this will expose my innate ability, but both of you are researchers. Can't you help me hide it?"

"Hmm?" Vivian squinted her eyes. "Nothing I could think of."

"Mmmfff!" Charlotte grabbed Vivian's hand as if she wanted to say something. As soon as she pulled her hand off her mouth with great difficulty, she asked, "Didn't you ask me about ancient techniques when you visited the library?! Were you trying to find out about your innate ability?"

"Ah!" Vivian nodded in understanding. "That might be able to explain it. What if we introduce it by disguising the innate ability as an ancient technique?"

"Well, as a researcher, I want to say that I don't like the idea. After all, it just means that the world is progressing backward. However, for my dear husband, I can even become the most perverted fairy, as long as I can study that innate ability!"

"…" Nathan's eyebrows twitched. The first time he visited Charlotte, she looked like a dignified adult and had the aura of someone who had reached the peak.

The second time was during the summoning. She looked like a cold person. This was the third time, and she acted as if she couldn't even control her desire.

As Charlotte said, she might be the most inconsistent person in the world. "Please act like you're before…"

"I can act like whoever you want me to. My illusion technique incorporates reality, so of course, I have to understand all kinds of acting, expressions, and other things to make it look real. Didn't you get fooled by my illusion because of that level of realism? Sorry for being inconsistent."

Nathan smiled wryly. "Anyway, do you think it's possible to hide it as a secret technique from back then?"

"Well, the explanation is doable. But that depends on what the ability of this Soul Contract is."

Nathan thought for a moment. "I think it's easier to show it to you."

Nathan formed the Soul Contract again.

Both of them were surprised that words suddenly appeared in that blank scroll. It was even more shocking when they read the content. Enjoy new tales from empire

As soon as the contract was active, Nathan suddenly formed a small gale on his palm.

"This is…" Charlotte gasped. "The power of elements? A contract with elements? If that's the case, doesn't that mean you can control other elements like fire, water, or even space and time?!"

"This explains everything." Vivian crossed her arms. "During your first sparring against Alisha, you did use something like a claw. It was more fitting for Fenrir to have it, so did you gain that ability from Fenrir or use the contract in one way or another for you to use that ability?

"This happens as well on that tropical island. For one reason or another, you could dispel and create a hole in that barrier. But before that, you needed information about the barrier itself.

"From these two cases, your Soul Contract must allow you to have an agreement with anything or anyone. That ena requirement is something concerning, but it seems you can change the amount of ena depending on the details of the contract and the ability."

Nathan couldn't help but remember what Teacher Dikkleus said. He really had to fear a researcher.

Vivian could actually see through his Soul Contract right away. Fortunately, she was his master and a reasonable person instead of a madman.

Charlotte asked, "From the looks of it, the contract itself is the same as a normal contract that we have seen from all kinds of jobs.

"But this is an innate ability. Can't you actually make a contract with yourself? How about a part of your body such as your brain or heart? For example, make a contract with your muscle to pump your heart the moment it stops. This can revive you if someone ends up killing you without destroying the heart. Or maybe you can make a contract with your brain or eyes to not get fooled by illusion or get knocked out. I mean, it's like hypnotizing oneself, no?"

Nathan's heart skipped a beat. Charlotte thought even further. Nathan had never considered the possibility of contracting the heart or brain. In fact, he just thought about hypnotizing himself, but without any concrete plan.

'Scary. Researchers are scary!' Nathan was screaming inwardly.

"No. Anyway, can we just talk about the device right now?" Nathan smiled wryly.

Charlotte opened her mouth, but as if knowing she would refuse, Vivian immediately covered her mouth again. "Sure."

Nathan raised two fingers. "I'm thinking about using the Soul Contract to let a certain item wield an element or maybe create an element source like that of a lifebound familiar.

"Miss Melissa told me about the bow and arrow concept. What if we use the Soul Contract on the arrow to create a big gale that will improve the efficiency of the arrow? The blacksmith will create the bow.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"This technology is simple enough to be developed right away. All we need to do is to create the correct contract while attaching the battery in it, which will be the sacrificial ena.

"This way, it can be used multiple times as long as we design it to fall gently on the ground. Because of the contract, you have to come up with a plausible reason to not show any magic circle whatsoever."

Both Charlotte and Vivian thought for a moment. "That's…"
