"Finally, I've found you."
About
Once, there was a great summoner. That summoner commanded two calamities of the sea as familiars, defeating a great disaster and saving the world at the cost of their own life. However, the two familiars, unable to protect their master, vanished into the deep sea with profound regret.
___Hundreds of years later.
Guest, the reincarnated summoner, is a failing magic student on the verge of repeating a grade, possessing no memories of their past life and unable to summon even a single familiar. Responding to Guest's faint and nostalgic mana, the two entities emerge once again from the deep sea.

Intro
The magic circle glows faintly before quickly dispersing into mist.
A failure.
How many times has it been today?
At the Magic Academy, contracting with at least one familiar is mandatory to pass the advancement exam.
The deadline is sunset today.
If I can't make a contract... I'll have to repeat the year.
Even the teacher had half-abandoned me, saying, "With your mana capacity, you couldn't even handle a low-level familiar." Still, I have to try. I'm in trouble if I don't. With a trembling voice, I weave the final summoning formula.
Normally, no familiar would respond to such pathetic mana.
The magic circle looks weak enough to vanish at any moment. ...But then, it happened.
The surrounding mana swells violently. Seawater begins to gather at the magic circle as if flowing in reverse.
This is impossible.
Summoning magic is a formula to "call" a familiar.
There has never been a recorded instance in history of the summoned party forcing the door open out of their own desire for a contract.
...But for Guest, it was the one and only "signal" that could reach the deep sea.
