Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 31: Popular

”We should have beaten that lowly farmer!” A guy shouted, frustrated by Raivanʼs action.

Meanwhile, the other friend actually lowered his head. ”Iʼm sorry. I didnʼt notice that a mutant would actually be among them.”

”!!!” The other three friends widened their eyes in shock. ”What?”

Raivan only waved his hand. ”It doesnʼt matter. With this, we have seen what he is capable of. His Ena Manipulation has already reached manifestation. In addition, that wolf is able to speak, and its strength is much stronger than any of our familiars.”

”But…”

”Thereʼs no but. I have made a decision. Donʼt disturb him anymore.” Raivan clicked his tongue. He had to say it even if he hated it.

The guy, who knew his plan the whole time, looked at him bitterly.

…

One week ago.

”What? Father is angry? He should be helping me. His son is being bullied!” Raivan shouted.

His fatherʼs butler sighed. ”Young Master. Iʼm merely conveying the message of your father. You are not the only target of his anger. Your mother is currently being sent back to her family for a few months.”

”Why?” Raivan gritted his teeth.

”The past young master wouldnʼt even bother to ask this question. How time can easily change people…” The butler was tired explaining since Raivan didnʼt plan to understand it. ”What did your mother say to change you like this? The young master I know is elegant, smart, and calm.”

”What do you mean? You should know that having another summoner in our territory will tip the balance of power. What if he gets stronger than me? He might even marry my sister to him. What will happen if he ends up succeeding the Ryzant Household instead of me?”

The butler shook his head helplessly. ”A good summoner isnʼt necessarily a good lord, but a good lord who has the power of a summoner can protect its people.”

”!!!” Raivanʼs body shook when he heard those words.

The butler turned around and said, ”You were the one who told me that, young master. Anyway, Iʼve passed the message from your father. If you make another problem, your father might have no choice but to handle this personally.”

Raivan couldnʼt raise his head. The butler could only shake his head helplessly.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Raivan stopped him before he left. ”Tell my father that Iʼll fix this.”

The butler politely bowed to him before leaving for good.

This was the answer Raivan presented.

…

”So he asked his friend to lure those aliens toward us and appear on time to help us?” Fenrir frowned.

”Yeah. First of all, the timing itself is too perfect. The number of aliens might be high, but they can still win without us. He must be trying to test our strength.”

”But why? Why did he do all this?”

”It was to send a message. He assumed I wouldnʼt know, but he wanted to show that he would be the bigger person and chose to help me. This way, he could solve the grudge between us without him apologizing. If I was oblivious to it, he would also receive my thanks, which made me owe him a favor.”

”What a bastard!” Fenrir was angry. He never thought that Raivan would manipulate him.

”Nevertheless, if he doesnʼt bother me again, I donʼt plan on harassing him. Iʼm not that petty.”

”Hmph.” Fenrir snorted. ”I should have teared him off. Such a scheming person…”

”I donʼt know what your feeling about your father is, but isnʼt he the same?”

Fenrir smacked Nathanʼs head but didnʼt say anything.

”Ignored, huh?” Nathan chuckled.

”Rather than that, what about that mutant? Do you not know anything about it?”

”Yeah. Iʼll have to ask my teacher once we go home. Instead of the mutant, Iʼm more interested in the juvenile class alien. So I only need to give you 160 Ena?”

”Thatʼs enough for me to kill that guy. You should use the rest to summon the next familiar.”

Nathan thought for a moment. ”If you can take the juvenile class alone, I will have to handle the remaining aliens by myself. From what we can see, there should be 5 aliens near him, right?”

”6 from what I can see, but the number might be higher.”

”Thatʼs going to be hard. We need to separate them.” Nathan sighed while tossing Fenrir since they had reached the camp.

”Can you do that? I will have to focus on the big alien. I might not be able to protect you during that time,” Fenrir warned him. He hadnʼt enjoyed this world fully yet, so he didnʼt want Nathan to die.

”Letʼs see. I can probably handle three of them at the same time, but thatʼs my limit. We need a solution, maybe like a trap or something. At least we have several days to think of a plan.”

”By the way, Iʼm curious about one thing. How did you figure out that they were scheming instead of sincerely helping you?” That was a big question in Fenrirʼs mind that he almost forgot. They didnʼt seem to show any sign of a scheme, which fooled Fenrir.

”During the fight, is there any familiar that has a sluggish movement?”

”Huh? Now that you mention it, the imp was rather sluggish, but it was the first one to attack as if…” Fenrir sucked a cold breath as he came to a realization.

”In my case, I found the imp was sweating while other familiars werenʼt.” Nathan shrugged.

”So thatʼs how it is.” Fenrir nodded in understanding.

”Anyway, catch our dinner, will you? I will have to find a plan from the so-called ʼsmartʼ MC from novels.” Nathan pointed at the river.

”But Iʼm tired right no—!” Fenrir complained while turning his head around, finding yet another person approaching. ”Why are we so popular today?”

Nathan sighed. He just wanted to focus on the juvenile class alien. When he took a look at the person who was currently approaching, Nathan couldnʼt help but say, ”I found my solution.”
