The four council members seated along the long desk sat up tall as Kalon and Sifa approached.
Their expressions were serious.
Guards stood along the walls while staying perfectly silent.
The only sound was the soft click of Sifa’s boots on the ice floor as they approached the council.
One of the council members, an older Cryon man with icey white hair and a wrinkled face, spoke first.
"Sifa of the Summoners Academy. And the summon known as Kalon." His voice carried clearly across the chamber.
"The council formally acknowledges your victory in the Annual Summoners Tournament. No one here disputes the result.
"You defeated every opposing summon, including the Frozen Dragon of Headmaster Runa. That achievement is worthy of praise."
Sifa bowed deeply, while Kalon didn’t respond. He simply stood there, feeling tense.
It felt weird being looked at so openly by aliens on this planet.
It wasn’t like Venduros, where he had openly revealed himself and was loved by many.
A second council member, a sharp-eyed woman with small red gems in her hair, leaned forward.
"However," she said, "that does not remove the concern that we have. What you displayed today was not normal. Fire on Cryos has always been treated as myth... something that does not exist in our world.
"Yet just moments ago, we all watched it melt a true dragon as if it were nothing."
She glanced at Kalon with squinted eyes.
"A power like that cannot be ignored. If left unrestricted, it becomes a danger to the stability of this planet."
The third council member nodded in agreement.
"There is discussion among the upper ranks about placing limitations on this summon. Restrictions on how often he may be called. Restrictions on where he may be deployed. Some have even suggested that a summon of this nature should require special authorisation from the Governor before every use."
Sifa’s eyes widened. Her mouth opened slightly, but no words came out.
She wouldn’t dare speak back to the council.
The fourth council member, the youngest of the four, spoke next.
"We do not wish to punish your victory. But we must consider the wider consequences. If every summoner begins seeking similarly... fire powers, Cryos will no longer be a world of ice."
Throughout the entire exchange, Governor Qyra said nothing.
She remained seated at the centre of the desk, one leg crossed over the other, her black-and-gold suit making her look elegant.
Her eyes never left Kalon.
While the others spoke of danger and restrictions, Qyra’s gaze stayed on him.
At some point, she had even bitten her bottom lip gently.
「Governor Qyra Seduction +15」
﹂Seduction Stage One: 40%
Kalon blinked in shock.
Why was this woman suddenly being seduced by him?
Was she a woman like Sifa, with a fire kink?
He wanted to check her detailed seduction screen, but he needed to listen to the conversation.
After a few more words from the council, Sifa finally spoke.
"Kalon is my only summon. Without him, I am useless and do not deserve my place in the academy."
The words caught even Kalon off guard, as well as the council.
Qyra shifted slightly in her seat after hearing this.
She still did not speak. However, her seduction rose again.
「Governor Qyra Seduction +18」
﹂Seduction Stage One: 58%
It’s competence, Kalon realised then. The woman is attracted to my competence.
The discussion dragged on.
The council members took turns outlining possible restrictions to put on Kalon, eventually settling on no longer allowing him to be summoned at all.
The main message was clear.
They were afraid of him. Everyone on the planet now was.
Except for Sifa. She knew that Kalon was a good summon, as he had once saved her from the ice horde.
By the end of it, she had suggested that she would retire as a summoner and never use Kalon again in an offensive manner if it meant that she still got to see him.
「Governor Qyra Seduction +22」
﹂Seduction Stage One: 80%
A few whispers spread throughout the council after hearing this. After all, if she agreed not to fight with him, it might be seen as unjust to prohibit his summoning.
Even they knew the importance of bonding with summons for your mental health.
Finally, the oldest council member turned toward the centre of the desk.
"Governor Qyra. The council has stated its position. We acknowledge the victory, but we request guidance on the matter of restrictions and on the formal reward for the tournament winners. How does the Governor wish to proceed?"
For the first time since they entered the hall, every eye shifted to Qyra.
She did not look at the council.
She looked only at Kalon.
A smile spread across her mouth. She bit down lightly on her lower lip once more, then released it.
When she spoke, her voice was mature and seductive.
"I have a reward for the summon Kalon specifically," she said. "It must be delivered in another room."
Silence followed.
The four council members turned to stare at her in open shock. Even the guards along the walls shifted slightly. Sifa’s eyes widened too.
The governor had not addressed anything about the restrictions or the dangers of Kalon.
All she cared about was rewarding him?
Qyra rose from her seat slowly, the black-and-gold suit moving smoothly over her slender frame. She still had not looked at anyone else except for him.
「Governor Qyra Seduction +20」
Seduction Stage One: 100% → Stage Two Reached!
Everyone looked at him next, waiting to see how he would respond.
At the same moment, Kalon’s system flared with a new message.
「New Mission: Receive Your Reward」
[Receive the personal reward prepared by Governor Qyra]
﹂Reward: SSS-Rank Skill & Gold Pill
...
So it’s really happening?
After his battle with the Frozen Dragon, Kalon had finally reached High Silver, but had no time to check out the changes made to his system.
The Gold Pill was crucial to his progression.
Not only that, but he was also being offered another SSS-Rank skill that would be useful in the tournament back on Earth.
He had no choice but to accept.
And, in a way, he wanted to.
He was curious to spend time with one of the most powerful figures on an entire planet.
Kalon looked directly at Qyra, flashing her a smile of his own.
"I will happily accept your reward, as long as Sifa is rewarded too."
