Dimensional Judgment Descends

After the principal's lengthy, brainwashing, and emotional speech, the summoning of Contract Beasts began under the guidance of the teachers from each class.

One by one, the students excitedly stepped forward.

All sorts of bizarre creatures appeared before Ling Yuan's eyes.

Solid, liquid, gas—all sorts of strange things.

Someone even summoned a gaseous tornado named "Stinky Fart."

The teacher immediately ordered it to be recalled.

As the name suggested, it was a Contract Beast that could suck opponents in and use gas, akin to flatulence, to stun enemies and forcibly end battles.

Then there was "Gas Explosion," which could also perform elemental conversion when combined with fire.

It was the perfect assistant for sneak attacks and surprise tactics, with decent power, just a bit smelly, making it difficult for its owner to find a girlfriend.

After about ten minutes, it was time for Ling Yuan's class.

Watching the students ahead of him obtain Contract Beasts one after another, Ling Yuan felt a sense of anticipation.

"Ling Yuan, I'll go first!" said Wang Ming, whose student number was before Ling Yuan's.

"Good luck," Ling Yuan said, patting his shoulder.

Soon, Wang Ming returned with a creature resembling a red lizard.

Patting his Contract Beast, Wang Ming smiled, "Not bad. A Flame Lizard, Sequence 709."

The sequence numbers in this world weren't ranked by strength but by the order in which Contract Beasts appeared. Therefore, instances of Contract Beasts with higher sequences defeating those with lower sequences were common.

Finally, it was Ling Yuan's turn.

Under the encouraging gaze of his best friend, Ling Yuan walked up.

"Relax, place your hand on the crystal ball, and try to call out," the supervising teacher said with a slight smile.

Ling Yuan nodded and took a deep breath.

He gently placed his hand on the crystal ball, then closed his eyes.

Hummm~

A complex and intricate magic circle began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. It then floated up from the ground, enveloping Ling Yuan in its radiant glow.

As a sacred light illuminated the area, a notification sounded in Ling Yuan's ear.

"Ding! Super Dimensional Sign-in System is binding! Starting to issue today's sign-in reward!"

Ling Yuan: "..."

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Ophis's 'Serpent'!"

Soon, a mass of chaotic-colored matter appeared in the void.

At that moment, the magic circle's light intensified.

Endless spiritual energy surged as if it had found an outlet.

Crack!

Suddenly, a cracking sound echoed, causing everyone present to change their expressions.

"Whoosh~"

Following that, Terrifying void turbulence blew out from the rift, knocking all the faculty, security personnel, and students to the ground.

"That's!"

The principal not far away's expression drastically changed.

As the light faded, A black-haired girl with exquisite features, like a doll, appeared before Ling Yuan.

She was wearing a black Gothic Dress.

Very cute.

Instantly, The entire gymnasium fell silent.

The girl slowly opened her chaotic-colored pupils, looking at Ling Yuan with curiosity.

"No way!"

"They summoned a girl?!"

"Can humans be summoned as Contract Beasts?"

The students looked at each other and murmured.

Especially the boys, they wore expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Wang Ming was completely bewildered. How did Ling Yuan manage this?!

Could his words be that powerful? Just a moment ago, he was discussing girlfriends with Ling Yuan, and the next second, his girlfriend shows up at his doorstep?!

Was this some kind of supernatural coincidence?

"Uh, could this be a summoning error?" the supervising teacher, who was also slumped on the ground, asked, dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Ling Yuan stared at the black-haired girl before him in disbelief.

Ophis!

The girl's name flashed in Ling Yuan's mind instantly.

But that wasn't the crucial part. The key was that he had actually summoned Ophis?

The Infinite Dragon?!

"The summoning ceremony for today concludes now!"

At this moment, the principal suddenly appeared beside Ling Yuan and announced to the crowd. He then grabbed Ling Yuan and Ophis with one hand.

He intended to use his spatial abilities to leave.

But the next second...

BANG!

With a powerful impact, the principal was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the sports equipment nearby.

Looking again, Ophis had somehow appeared in front of Ling Yuan. Her cute little hand reached out, and she shielded Ling Yuan behind her protectively.

This scene shocked everyone.

A student who had just summoned a Contract Beast had just sent the principal flying?

This was essentially doing what all the students wanted to do but didn't dare to.

"My old back!"

The principal climbed out from the sports equipment, tears almost welling up. He looked at Ophis and Ling Yuan with a wry smile. "Student, I'd like to discuss something with you. Could you ask your contractor to calm down a bit?"

"System, explain this to me,"

Ling Yuan was equally confused and kept asking the system in his mind.

"Ding! Responding to Master, Ophis has already signed a contract with you. According to the system's display, Ophis's friendliness towards you is 100%. This means you can ask Ophis to do anything for you."

"This..."

After hearing the system's explanation, Ling Yuan hesitated for a moment before tentatively reaching out and placing his hand on Ophis's head.

Ophis even nuzzled into his touch, clearly enjoying it.

"!"

At this moment, Ling Yuan became excited.

Damn it, where's my Master Ball?

I want to capture my infinite cute pet!

Chapter 6: I Had a Dream Since I Was Young

While stroking Ophis, Ling Yuan asked the system.

"System, what exactly is going on? Did this Ophis get summoned directly from the High School DxD world?"

"Ding! Responding to Host, yes, but the summoning timeline is slightly off."

Ling Yuan asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

"The Ophis you summoned is the Ophis from the Dimensional Rift, the Ophis who slept in the dimensional gap from the moment of her birth."

Hearing this, Ling Yuan understood.

She hadn't been driven away by the Great Red, nor had she become the mascot of the Chaos Brigade. This was the primordial Ophis!

So, this was truly a 'blank slate'!

Ling Yuan looked at Ophis's wide, curious eyes.

One thing was certain.

He was going to raise a daughter in the future.

However, being able to contract Ophis was an unexpected delight.

But...

Ling Yuan looked up, his brow furrowing as he saw the confused and curious gazes around him.

"System, is there any way to erase all their memories of Ophis?"

Ophis was arguably his trump card for now, and he didn't want to reveal her yet.

Most importantly, Ling Yuan didn't want any more trouble coming his way.

If the fact that a human had summoned 'a human' were to be exposed, then inevitably, various countries or other factions would come to contact him.

This would be extremely detrimental to his student life.

He didn't have any grand ambitions; traveling to other worlds and living a normal life was good enough for him.

He had originally thought he would only summon an ordinary Contract Beast, but he never expected to suddenly get Ophis.

If this wasn't handled properly, it would be a headache later on.

"Ding! No problem!"

The system didn't disappoint Ling Yuan.

"Recordings, photos, anything related to Ophis must be cleaned up. To the outside world, I'm just an ordinary person who summoned an ordinary Contract Beast," Ling Yuan reminded it.

"Ding! Understood!"

As soon as the system's voice faded, everyone in the gymnasium jolted.

Even the security personnel watching through the monitors froze in stunned silence.

"Ophis, can you enter my body?"

Ling Yuan crouched down, looking at the exquisite Ophis before him, unable to suppress his excitement.

After all, just yesterday he was someone fantasizing while watching anime, and today he was seeing the anime character he had always dreamed of. It was impossible not to be excited.

Ophis tilted her head in confusion, then took Ling Yuan's arm.

The next second...

She transformed into a beam of light and merged into Ling Yuan's arm, leaving an Ouroboros pattern on the back of his hand.
