Spirit summoning -1

The next day, Marcus woke up before the sun had fully risen, the excitement of the day ahead pulling him from sleep. Today was the day he had been eagerly waiting for—the day he could summon his familiar from the astral world.

The astral world was a plane of existence where powerful spirits and familiars resided, waiting for mages to summon them into the mortal realm. Marcus knew that having a strong familiar was not only a status symbol but also a significant boost to his power.

As he dressed, his thoughts drifted to Leo. Today was also the day Leo would return to class after his recovery. Marcus couldn't help but smirk at the thought of seeing Leo's reaction. The duel they had fought weeks ago still echoed in his mind, and he was curious to see how Leo would behave now, especially after Marcus's recent achievements. With a laugh under his breath, Marcus finished dressing and quickly made his way to the cafeteria for breakfast.
