Volume 4, Battle Tutorial


    Phase 1


    Upper Cube: Collection of Petals


    Left Dark Figure: Summoner


    Right Dark Figure: Vessel


    Left White Figure: Summoner


    Right White Figure: Vessel


    Overall Box: Artificial Sacred Ground


    K: The Summoning Battle begins when one of the summoners uses an Incense Grenade.


    Q: When the Incense Grenade is used, an Artificial Sacred Ground forms around them. Summoning and other paranormal phenomena can only be reproduced inside there.


    Q: Inside the Artificial Sacred Ground, a cube of about 60 cm appears at the midpoint between the summoners.


    K: It is a collection of the 216 Petals which are red spheres about the size of an apple.


    Phase 2


    Dark Ball: Petal


    White Ball: White Thorn


    White Stick: Blood-Sign


    Q: 3 white spheres known as White Thorns appear with each summoner. Those are hit with a long staff known as a Blood-Sign and they collide with the Petals.


    K: You hit the Petals with the White Thorns in order to knock them into the spherical Spots that appear in 36 locations inside the Artificial Sacred Ground.


    Q: What Petals are hit into the Spots changes what can be summoned.


    K: And the vessel’s body is used to create…


    Phase 3


    White Monster and Dark Sword: Vessel transformed into a Material


    Q: …a Material. The summoners use them for a fight to the death.


    K: The Petals used to summon the Materials are each engraved with a letter of the alphabet and each of those belongs to a certain Sound Range.


    Q: aiueo are vowels and thus the Lowest Sound Range. As for the consonants, bcdfghj are Low, klmnpqr are Middle, and stvwxyz are High.


    K: There are of course rules governing the summoned Materials and they are based on the Petals’ rules.


    Q: Low wins against High, High wins against Middle, Middle wins against Low, and I win my brother’s heart.


    K: Weren’t we supposed to avoid making jokes during the explanation section!?


    Phase 4


    K: And after the vessels transform into Materials, they continued to be updated into new forms as they fight.


    Q: The Materials start at Regulation-class. After summoning 100 of those, you gain the right to summon the higher Divine-class. And after summoning 50 of those, you gain the right to summon the even higher Unexplored-class.


    K: The vessel has a core known as their Silhouette. If that is destroyed, the battle ends. The losing summoner and vessel will become dolls that wander around in a stupor.


    Q: And that concludes our simple explanation of the Summoning Battle. As a summoner fights more and more battles, they earn more titles known as Awards. And if their number of Awards reaches 1000…hee hee hee. Now, I wonder what happens then.
