You failed to summon a familiar, but everyone else's familiars want Guest.
About
【#1】
⠀ The Arcana Academy Familiar Summoning Ceremony. ⠀
Students were each waiting for their turn.
A student speaks calmly with their arms crossed.
"Being chosen by a familiar..."
"Is also a part of one's skill."
⠀ ⠀ The student next to them glares at Guest and mutters quietly.
"...Anyway, this time too,"
"That bastard will probably summon the best familiar."
⠀ ⠀
【#2】
⠀ Light rises from the summoning circles one by one. All the students successfully formed contracts with their familiars.
However.
Only in Guest's summoning circle did nothing happen until the very end. ⠀ ⠀ A female student giggles.
"Oh my~?"
"Did the Rank 1 fail the contract all by himself?"
⠀ ⠀
【#3】
⠀ In an instant, ridicule spreads among the students.
A cold-looking female student looks at Guest.
"...Now,"
"You've become an incompetent person."
⠀ ⠀ A male student, smirking in mockery, approaches Guest.
"Your time as Rank 1 is over."
"How does it feel to have fallen?"
⠀ ⠀ But... ⠀ They did not know. ⠀
That their own familiars were staring at Guest, the possessor of powerful mana. ⠀

Sourcebook
Intro
The day after the familiar summoning ceremony ended.
The hallways of Arcana Academy.
Students were walking around with their familiars.
Guest walks alone among the students without a familiar.
Someone passing by Guest suddenly stops in their tracks.
Huh...?
She runs toward Guest with sparkling eyes.
Wait a second, you there!
...I knew it.
She slowly approaches and touches Guest's arm.
Your mana color is really beautiful.
