Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

Alberta, a 3 Star Runic Blacksmith possessing the Volcanic Smith Hammer Spirit. She was also a dwarf from a faraway country. Despite her timid nature and her slightly irritating stuttering way of speaking, she was briming with potential, especially because she had a Talent I really wanted in the team.

If one of the things I comprehend the least in this world are how Blacksmiths actually work. The creation of equipment in Spiritias is way different than the one I have memories for from my previous life's memories.

I quickly stopped her from going away, as she was rather shocked by my response. It seems she hasn't experienced that well of a treatment here, maybe. Or perhaps there's another factor that makes her have low self-esteem, making her unable to see through her potential.

Because of this, she thought she was not good enough and walked away before even waiting for my response.

"Eh?!" Alberta was surprised, as her eyes glowed brightly.

"We need you." I said. "You're a Blacksmith, right? I've heard you can process materials and make high level equipment, and even enchant weapons and armor to grant buffs."

"Y-Yeah..." Alberta nodded. "Is that good for you? I... I am not useless?"

"Of course you aren't." I said with a nod. "We'll accept you happily in our group."

"Uwaahh... R-Really?! I am not dreaming, right? Is this real life?!" Alberta started freaking out. Her small height made her rather cute to look at as she grew more hysteric.

"Yes, its real life, girl." Evelyn said, smiling back at her. "This team already has strong magic attackers and front liners, and even a great healer, but someone with your utility is lacking, so you'll complement everyone really well."

"Ooooh! I-I can't believe this... T-Thanks! T-Thank y-you so much!" She began stuttering again while feeling happy.

"Now go talk with everyone else." I said, quickly letting her sit down with the rest of my group.

"Oh you're so cute!" Elizabeth said, giving her a head pat.

"So you're a dwarf, huh? I've never seen one before." Chris said surprised.

"She's small... Is she really going to complement us?" Erdrich wondered.

"Nice to meet you! My name's Eric, I am rather proficient in alchemy." Eric greeted her more formally than the rest.

"H-Hi..." Alberta said timidly. "I-I'll do my best. Ah, hello Eric."

Alberta sat near Eric, so she quickly greeted him back.

"Y-You said alchemy? I've been trying to study t-that..." She said.

"Oh really? Maybe we could get along nicely then! It would be great if you could teach me about Smithing alongside Blake." Eric said happily.

"S-Sure!" Alberta smiled back despite her nervousness.

And then Erika showed up.

"Hiiiii! Nice to meet cha!" Erika quickly grabbed Alberta's hands and gave her a fast handshake, shaking her entire small body around..

"Uwawawahhh! N-Nice to meet you too!" Alberta nervously said.

"Hey, don't be a brute now, Erika." I sighed. "Treat her well. Also you lot, at least tell them your names."

"Right, sorry about that..." Chris sighed. "Name's Chris, I am a hybrid magic fighter and front liner."

"I am Elizabeth, mostly a healer but I can also use strong magic, my spirits can offer great help as well." Elizabeth said.

"Name's Erdrich, I am the main tank and heavy hitter." Erdrich said.

"And well, I am Eric, I am also good at a bit of everything, though I am rather proficient with the bow." Eric said.

"I-I am Alberta... I am a Blacksmith. I can enchant weapons and armor... And make stuff." Said Alberta. "N-Nice to meet you all... I-I hope you can treat me well..."

"I don't know if I need any introduction but I am Blake, the Summoner. I cover all sorts of places in the party so I am an all-rounder." I said. "Rely on me in anything you need."

"I-I see...! T-This is a bit sudden but I hope we can all get along..." Alberta slowly started to stutter less and less. It seems she was feeling more in the group than before.

While leaving her with everyone else, I quickly walked back to where the other students were waiting. There were still three students I had to check to see what they could be good for.

"Next."

As I said that, a girl with long green hair and gloomy green eyes showed up, with freckles covering her face.

"Hi..."

"Name, Talent, and Spirit?"

"My name is Eliana, I come from the farther swamp lands..." The girl spoke with a rather slow and lazy manner. "Talent's 3 Star Witch Doctor... My Spirit is this thing."

Eliana suddenly showed an enormous mass of plants stuck together in the shape of an humanoid, with two red eyes glowing from within its dark interior.

"A Swamp Man."

"Ohh..."

I felt slightly surprised, Witch Doctors were an interesting yet rare Talent. Though, it seems to be a magic user at the end, and we've got plenty of them. She also covers Nature Element, which Eric and Erika already do.

"You're rather strong, but pass."

"Huh... Well, whatever. See ya, Blake."

She walked away leisurely without even worrying about a thing.

"Next- Huh?"

Suddenly, a tall girl with short white hair showed up.

Her eyes were deep red, and her skin was as white as candle wax.

She had several scars over her body, and was rather muscular, taller than me by a centimeter or two.

She looked down on me silently, as if inspecting me. Her glare was clearly threatening, as if she was testing my resolve.

"Name's Patricia, 3 Star Sword Berserk... My Spirit is inside of my body."

"...Inside of your body?"

Patricia extended her arm towards me and then sliced through her skin with a knife...

SLASH!

Blood began dripping from the wound.

"Hey girl what are you doing?!"

Evelyn quickly reacted to Patricia's strange introduction.

However, her blood quickly began to coagulate, as countless tiny creatures made of iron stitched her together and completely regenerated her...

"They call these things Iron Slimes, I have them all over my Blood, they help me regenerate my wounds."
