Reincarnated as an Energy with a System
chapter-763

"Please go ahead," Ning said.

The old woman nodded and called over a few students that were on duty today. She asked them to line up and told them something in secret.

Then, she walked over to Ning and told him to turn around.

Ning nodded and turned around. As he did, she saw multiple shines of light coming from behind him. The disciples had been made to summon a beast.

Ning wanted to see them, but the woman was right behind him and so he couldn't see anything exactly.

"Okay, you can turn around," she said and Ning turned to see 5 different types of beasts on the testing area.

The first beast was a giant red furry mastiff with a fiery mane and canines that came down like tusks. It was nearly as tall as the person who summoned it.

The second beast was a small rat. That was it, it was just a rat and nothing else. Aside from being a rat, it had no other features.

The third beast was a translucent jellyfish-like creature that floated in the air. It was a slightly pinkish hue to it and had many, many tendrils coming down from it just like a jellyfish. Unlike Jellyfishes, however, this one was nearly 2 meters tall and a meter and a half wide.

The fourth beast was a smooth snake with a white body and black and orange dots all over it. It looked like a water snake from what Ning could see, but he would have to check it closer to find out.

The fifth and final beast for the test was a giant silver beetle nearly twice the size of the summoner and the largest beast of them all here.

'That reminds me of Aegis,' Ning thought. 'I wonder how he's doing.'

"Here," the old woman Verina came from the side and handed him a giant stack of paper and a pen along with it.

He looked at her with a confused face and the woman started explaining.

"You said you know a lot about Summoning circles, right?" she asked.

Ning nodded. That was how he wanted to enter after all.

"Then your test is to draw the summoning circles of all of these beasts here," she said.

Ning looked at the beasts and then back to the old woman. "You want me to draw summoning circles for all of them?" he asked.

"Yes," she said.

He looked towards the beast again and asked, "You do know that drawing it accurately is impossible for the most part, right?"

"I'm aware," she said. "You still have to do the best you can."

Ning frowned. It would be hard without any information. Should he start using his analysis? But that defeated the purpose of learning about summoning circles.

"Can I at least ask a few questions to the summoners? That at least should be allowed right?" he asked.

"Allowed? That's the whole point of it, isn't it?" the old woman said. "You weren't thinking that I would make you draw the circles with zero information right?"

"Oh, uh… actually that was exactly what I was thinking," he said as his frown disappeared. "This will be easy then."

Ning walked onto the first summoner, a young man, and looked at the mastiff. Before even asking any questions, he drew the outer band of the summoning circle that denoted the rank of the beast.

"What rank is it?" he asked the young man.

"Rank 5," he said rather proudly.

Ning drew the symbols that went into the band of the circle that denoted the Rank 5 of the beast.

"Between Elemental, Physical, Mental, in a total of 10, how would you ratio it?" Ning asked.

"Uh…" the student had to think for a moment and said, "0 for mental, 4 for elemental, and 6 for physical."

Ning nodded but didn't immediately draw anything. "What skills can it use, and what elements besides fire?" he asked.

"He's also capable of using a little bit of wind, but it's mostly mixed in with fire anyway," the student said and started explaining all the skill the beast had.

Inside the band, Ning drew another smaller circle that gave him another ring to work with. In that ring, in what was about 40% of the entire ring, he drew a symbols for fire and wind, as well as symbols that denoted all types of skills.

For the physical part, he needed more information. These would be the physical information of the beast.

Ning looked at the beast and started drawing symbols for everything he could see. 4 limbs, 1 tail, 2 eyes, 1 nose, 1 mouth, 2 ears, and millions of hair.

He wasn't done yet. He remembered everything that would be inside a dog, such as the heart, brain, liver, and everything else, and started drawing symbols for that too.

There were things he couldn't just guess and had to check, such as how many teeth the dog had, or if the dog had male reproductive organs or female ones.

Finally, once he was done with the physical aspects of the beast, he went into the last remaining massive circle in the middle that asked for a bit more… invisible information.

First of all, Ning drew the symbols for what he could guess on his own. He wrote the symbol for 'Dog', and the symbol for the species of a dog it was.

Then, it was time for some of the more blocked off information of the circle that not just anyone could know.

"How old is he? If possible, please let me know in days," Ning said. The day depended on the planet the beast was born on, but that didn't matter at the moment since both planets moved around the sun at the exact same rate.

"About 12 and a half years? I think," the summoner said. Even the summoner wasn't sure, but Ning had to use what little information he had.

He drew the symbol for the age of the dog and then a single piece of information remained, something that the summoner wouldn't know, and neither would Ning, so he had to wing this part.

He took a 50-50 chance on the fact that the dog in front of him did in fact not have a soul at all.
