Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 745 Postal Service

　　Ning wrote some answers on a paper in a room where they were taking the test to get the beast license.

The owl on the man’s shoulder looked at every single one, most likely to see if Spiritual energy was being worked in between the examinees. 

Ning could easily remember everything he read outside, so he finished the exam rather quickly.

He handed the exam papers over to the invigilator and walked out to the practical exam.

Here, he was to summon beasts that fit the criteria, which the judges would check to see if he passed or not.

Ning summoned a moose with horns that protruded inward and were about the size of a horse in general.

He jumped onto the moose and had it walk around a little. 

The judge used their summons to check the various aspects of the moose. They checked how strong it was, how friendly it was, how calm it could remain in the midst of random noises, and even how heavy it was.

Once they checked the dimensions of the beast, they quickly passed it, and Ning unsummoned the moose.

He had passed the test rather easily. Once the written test results were out tomorrow, he would get his license back as well.

Ning then lined up to get re-ranked. He was led somewhere behind the building where he appeared in a large, open space that was full of vegetation.

For a moment, Ning wondered if he had been perhaps teleported somewhere. This sort of big park couldn’t have possibly been in the middle of the city, let alone behind a building.

But then, he saw that the giant park was surrounded by buildings with people coming in and out.

”Who’s next!” a man called and Ning walked forward. The man took his card and saw that he was Rank 5.

”Alright, summon,” he said.

Ning nodded and closed his eyes to feel the beast. He didn’t really need to find any particular beast that matched a hundred different descriptions like before, so Ning summoned what he thought was a fun little beast.

A giant summoning circle appeared underneath them that covered both Ning and the man in it.

The man quickly stepped back in fear that he would get in the way of the summoned beast.

However, Ning stayed where he was and watched the beast get summoned.

A hamster.𝒩𝑜𝒱𝓁𝐞xt.𝒸𝐎𝗆

The little beast with purple and white fur looked harmless, at least to the normal eyes. However, the man who backed away didn’t have normal eyes at the time.

He had been summoning the eyes of a beast with a particular set of vision skills, and he could see the blue and white energy flowing through the little hamster’s body.

A giant amount of blue and white energy.

From the color alone, the man knew the elemental alignment of the beast. But, he needed to test some more.

”Have it move around,” the man said.

Ning nodded and the hamster disappeared.

The hamster could teleport, but that wasn’t what happened just now. A bunch of stacked sonic booms nearly pushed back the man to the ground as the hamster moved at a speed that surpassed the speed of sound by many times.

It caused a small storm and a little commotion as it ran around the park until Ning told it to stop.

The hamster stopped right in front of them while the wind and dirt it dragged threw the area around it into chaos.

The man’s face was shocked beyond belief when he understood what the little beast’s rank was.

He looked at the tiny beast then at the card in his hand. What the hell did he just witness?

”Unsummon it please,” the man said.

Ning nodded and the giant summoning circle appeared again to take the beast back.

Once the beast disappeared, the man shook his head while writing a new rank for Ning.

Rank 8.

Ning happily got his new rank and turned around to leave. However, before he got out, he saw something in the distance that caught his eye.

In the park, a beast appeared out of nowhere. From what Ning could see, it was a red panda-like beast, which he knew was one of the beasts that had storage spaces from a very low rank.

’How did a beast appear out of nowhere when someone didn’t summon it?’ Ning wondered for a second. When he really did think about it, however, the answer was obvious.

No one had summoned the beast. But rather, it was unsummoned.

Which meant the beast was from here in the first place and was taken elsewhere.

A group of people appeared from the other buildings and arrived next to the red panda before bonding with it. Once bonded, they took out a lot of items from the beast’s storage space, and then the new volumes of items that were next to it disappeared.

Ning saw the summoning circle flash again and knew that the beast had been unbonded. 

Then, as he waited, a new summoning circle appeared below the panda’s feet and it vanished.

Ning was made to move along not long after, but the scene he had just seen stuck with him.

’That…’ he thought. ‘That was the post service of this world, wasn’t it?’ 

While many did use ships to send and receive items and letters, the richer ones could afford to use this technique where a beast with a storage space was summoned and unsummoned at two different places to transfer items between them.

This was of course more prevalent in the west, more than in the east where people simply didn’t like summoned beasts and skills out in the open.

Still, Ning smiled at the human ingenuity to find methods that suited them where people didn’t have any other form of quickly sending around messages to each other.

Kumia used formations, Vilmore had developed telephones, and now Nulwurn used beasts with storage space.

It was fun to see how all these humans solved similar problems in not-so-similar ways.
