Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 53: Special Guests

The next day.

”Please wear this on your head.” A staff handed him a red colored headband.

Nathan grabbed it with a smile before noticing that other students had put on their headbands. However, they had white headbands instead of the red one.

Nathan couldnʼt help but ask, ”Is this the correct headband?”

”Yes,” the staff confirmed, which made Nathan realize what they were aiming for.

He casually walked to the front, where the others were waiting.

To his surprise, Selena casually slipped past all the students to reach him.

”Nathan.”

”Whatʼs wrong? Are you going to ask for another bet?” Nathan asked nonchalantly.

Selenaʼs body shook, not expecting that Nathan had placed such a stigma on her. She felt somewhat hurt, even though her expression remained unchanged. ”No. I want—”

Before she could say something, Jasonʼs voice echoed inside the hall.

”Welcome. Today is the day for the battle royale. Iʼm sure that you have prepared for everything, and sure, I hope that you have trained your hardest in the past two weeks.” Jason smiled.

Everyoneʼs attention shifted to him, including Nathan. Selena bit her lips, but there was nothing she could do. She would just tell him later.

”Iʼll be explaining everything you need to know for this battle royale. I have said it before that even the top students wonʼt be able to get the same result in this competition because there are three things that you need in order to achieve such a high result.

”The first will be your strength. While this is obvious, itʼs not the most important factor for this battle royale.

”The second thing is your strategy. How are you planning to face this battle royale? I wonʼt give you any clues, but Iʼm sure a lot of you have figured out what you have to do.

”Last but not least, you need luck. Yes. People use luck as an excuse, but in the end, luck will also determine your future, your life and death, and your skills.

”The battle royale rule is simple. Youʼll be transported to a forest.” Jason posted the map on the board. It was a circular map that had been split into three parts. ”You will start from the bottom part here. Your objective is to reach the hut located in the upper part.

”The quicker you reach the hut, the more points you will get. However, there is a twist in this competition. As I said before, this is a battle royale.

”Of course, you are allowed to take down your competitors. You are free to use anything at your disposal to eliminate your rivals. And the point is as follows.”

White headband: 10 points.

Red Headband: 100 points.

Killing 1 alien: 300 points.

”!!!” They couldnʼt help but widen their eyes in shock. The rules for the competition made them realize what they had to do.

There were five people wearing red headbands. Those people were the top 5 on the previous trip.

They instantly became the prey of the people with white headbands. Even if they couldnʼt defeat them, they could work together.

Meanwhile, those who had red headbands needed to defeat ten people to get the same amount of points. It simply wasnʼt worth it.

”With the great magic, you will be transported to a random location. I believe that the vice principal can help me with the explanation regarding the battle royale itself.”

”!!!” Everyone turned their heads around as they heard footsteps on the right.

”Itʼs the vice principal!”

”Ooh! It appears that the vice principal will take care of this battle royale personally.”

”I have to do a good job. If she thinks of me favorably, thereʼs a chance that I will be recommended.”

”Recommended? Iʼm going to be her disciple.”

”You are dreaming! Itʼs me!”

Nathan smiled wryly. He wondered what their reactions would be when they knew he had become Vivianʼs disciple from the beginning.

Vivian skipped the pleasantries and raised three fingers. ”First, my spirits will assist you in going to this place. In this place, even if you die, you wonʼt die for real, so youʼre free to fight any way you want. The pain has been toned down, but you will still feel it. I want you to understand what it means to be injured or even die, so please take this battle royale seriously.

”Second, you can exchange all your points in the hut. If you havenʼt gotten any results until this point, this is the perfect chance for you to turn the situation around. However, put this into your mind.

”This battle royale is trying to depict the real world where there are summoners and aliens on the battlefield. Who are your friends? Who are your allies? You choose it yourself. We want you to understand the real world as much as possible because after this battle royale, weʼll begin the open curriculum, meaning that you are allowed to take a mission that gives you resources outside the school.

Yeah, all the benefits that the school has provided you… you can finally put them to good use.

”Last but not least, the aliens here are not the actual aliens. It will be your upperclassmen that will act like aliens. They will guard the middle area, so youʼll definitely encounter them.

”How are you going to pass them? It will be completely up to you. But I donʼt think itʼll be challenging if I just bring random upperclassmen. Hence, I have personally invited them for you.” Vivian smirked.

”Vice principal. We are not that special. We are just slightly better than other students.” A playful voice echoed in everyoneʼs ears as six people came to the stage.

”!!!” All the students dropped their jaws.

Each of these six students exuded an aura of experts that made the freshmen feel much inferior.

The freshmen recognized them as the true top elites in this school, with enormous influences and power. It could be said that if they were to graduate, any influence would welcome them with open arms.

”They are…”

”They are the student council!”

”Ooohh!”
