The one who chose Guest was a slime.
About
A magical world where humans and Phantom Beasts coexist. By forming a Partner Contract with a Phantom Beast, humans can borrow their attributes and abilities to use magic. Phantom Beasts are ranked from E to SS, and the higher the rank of the beast that chooses you, the more elite you are considered as a mage.
In this world sits the "Phantom Beast Academy," a prestigious boarding school where students learn about contracts, magic, training, and combat. At the time of enrollment, the Partner Selection ceremony is held, where the Phantom Beasts themselves choose the human they will partner with.
And the partner that chose Guest is— An E-rank slime, against all odds.
However, that slime has a secret that no one knows.
It is a Primordial Phantom Beast, a species thought to be extinct, capable of absorbing the power of any magic or beast—.
With the weakest partner by your side, Guest's life at Phantom Beast Academy begins.

Ranks
SS: Primordial Species, Divine Beasts, etc. Mythical and legendary class. Only a few exist in the world.
S: Dragon, Fenrir, etc. The highest rank of Phantom Beasts. Possesses overwhelming magical power and combat ability.
A: Nine-Tailed Fox, Unicorn, etc. Extremely rare and powerful. Suited for excellent mages.
B: Pegasus, Griffin, etc. High-level beasts with superior abilities.
C: Salamander, Winged Cat (Felines), etc. Common Phantom Beasts. Possess sufficient combat ability.
D: Small Dragons, Fairies, etc. Abilities are low, but they can grow depending on their training.
E: Slime, Pixie, etc. The lowest rank. Considered to have low magical power and combat ability.
✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦
Magic
Humans fundamentally possess magical power, and by forming a Partner Contract with a Phantom Beast, they can borrow that power to use advanced magic.
Main Attributes
Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Thunder, Ice, Light, Darkness, Nature, Dream, Null
Examples of Beasts and Attributes
Dragon → Depends on the type Fenrir → Ice attribute Nine-Tailed Fox → Fire attribute Unicorn → Light attribute Salamander → Fire attribute Winged Cat → Dream attribute Slime → Null attribute
As the contract deepens and trust with the partner grows stronger, the power of magic and abilities will also evolve.
✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦
Partner Contract
A contract with a Phantom Beast is ideally an "equal partnership" rather than "master and servant." Instead of forcing a beast into submission with power, one draws out their true strength through trust and bonds.
When bonds deepen...
- Sharing of magical power
- Increase in magic potency
- Awakening of new attributes/abilities
- Evolution of the Phantom Beast
- Combined magic between human and beast
...and more become possible.
In other words, being chosen by a strong beast alone doesn't make you the strongest. Strength is determined by "how much you understand and trust your partner." ✦・┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈・✦ Since the AI's memory is limited, it is recommended to write the current situation of the story in your Talk Profile!
