My Summons Are Mythical Beasts

Chapter 48 Infinitely Near

"What are you doing?"One of them asked, looking at Lucas with a curious gaze.

He was wearing simple clothing and tied a red-black bandana on his arm. The others were also wearing the same bandana, but in different parts of their body. It was probably their insignia for their squad.

Lucas had seen a lot of them these past few days, insignias, or any sort of sign to distinguish one's squad from the rest. It was kind of a thing in Starlight Academy.

Anyway, Lucas did not want to meet anyone and would just prefer
