Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 73: Gathering Information

”Village Chief!” The man stormed inside the biggest house in the village.

”Johan! You…” The village chief was a bald elderly man. He approached Johan excitedly even though he was walking with a cane. ”You have recovered! How?”

”There are summoners from the Frexia Academy, the best academy in the world. They are helping us! We need to gather all the injured men so that they can heal them as well. Village Chief… Please allow them to use this house to help other injured men!”

”Frexia Academy?” The village chiefʼs body shook, noticing the people who were standing outside the house. The village chief immediately passed him while saying, ”What are you doing? Why havenʼt you brought them in?”

Johan was speechless because the village chief immediately came out. ”Two esteemed guests. I apologize for making you stand outside.”

”Please donʼt mind about it.” Nathan smiled. ”If possible, we would like to ask for your cooperation.”

”Of course, of course!” The village chief nodded. ”Johan. You bring them here!”

”Yes!” Johan rushed out, not wanting to let anyone die because he moved too slowly.

”Please come in.” The village chief extended his hand.

The entire village became lively again as Nathan asked, ”Village Chief. Weʼd like to ask for more information regarding these aliens.”

”Yes. Iʼll tell you everything I know.”

”First of all, we have heard the brief explanation for everything, but weʼd like to hear in detail regarding the alien as well as the people from the Dextria Academy.”

He nodded and began his explanation. In the meantime, more and more people were brought into the house as sheets were laid everywhere.

After knowing about the situation, Nathan ended it with one last question. ”Where are the two holes?”

”They are in that direction.” The village chief pointed in two directions before saying, ”Iʼll let someone accompany you.”

”Itʼll be dangerous, so please stay in the village for the time being.” Nathan rejected his suggestion before summoning Anubis. ”Can you handle everything here? Iʼll be investigating the farm.”

”I should be able to remain in this world as long as you are within 200 meters (656 feet) from me.” Anubis nodded.

”In that case, you should be able to reach the farm…” The village chief paused as he saw who actually spoke. ”Wait, a dog?!”

Anubisʼ eyebrows twitched as he shouted, ”Shut up, human. If you donʼt, Iʼm not going to heal your leg as well!”

”What?!” The village chief was so shocked that he fell on his back together with the chair.

”The reason you use a cane is because of the injury on your knee, not old age. I can fix it. Iʼll heal you first, so make sure you serve me so that I can heal the others as well.”

”Y-Yes!” The village chiefʼs expression brightened.

”In that case, weʼll take our leave.” Nathan nodded. Anubisʼ power truly amazed him. If Anubis returned to his peak, he would be able to grow limbs, cure sickness, or heal all kinds of physical wounds. It was no wonder why the ankh represents eternal life, physical life, death, and reincarnation.

As long as one hadnʼt died, Anubis might allow them to undergo a rebirth if he returned to his peak state.

Nathan and Noelle walked to the farm. Nathan asked, ”Iʼve been meaning to ask this, but who is the Dextria Academy?”

”Dextria Academy is a fourth ranked academy located in the south of the Blacksmith Guild. They are not good, but not bad either. Then again, some of our students are still like that, especially those from noble families.” Noelle sighed.

”We have rules about our behaviors, right?”

”Yeah. Thatʼs why Iʼm chosen for my position. If someone is too weak to possess this position, those people will become unruly.”

”Ah. Itʼs no wonder why people said you are overseeing the academy with an iron fist.”

”Not that Iʼm proud of it. After all, I make a lot of enemies because I have to do that.” Noelle let out a long sigh.

”That sounds like a hassle.” Nathan chuckled but stopped right away as they had reached the farm.

There was a wheat field in front of them. The wheat had been crushed as if they were trampled by tens of aliens, and the soil was crushed. As the village chief said, there was a huge hole in the middle of the field.

”What do you think, Junior? Can you figure out what happened here?” Noelle asked.

”I think? But there is something Iʼd like to ask first. How many aliens are we supposed to fight?”

”I donʼt know. The request states only a huge alien, so this is actually a bit concerning. A huge alien can actually carry multiple aliens on top or inside of it. Hence, the number might be above your imagination.”

Nathan frowned. ”If thatʼs the case, Iʼm thinking that we are supposed to worry about three things. The first is definitely that hole and the alien that creates that hole. Looking at such a perfect hole, the alien must look like a worm.

”Then, the second will be the number of its underlings. If we miss even one of them, they will devastate the village once we leave here.”

Noelle nodded in agreement, thinking the same. ”What about the third?”

”The third is this one…” Nathan walked to the area where the wheat was cut cleanly instead of snapping from being trampled. This had been crushed as well, but it was clear there was something else. ”This cut is clean, and because this is not the harvest time yet, it must be an alien.

”To be this different, the alien must be unique or smart. The former is dangerous, while the latter means there is a chance of a juvenile class alien in the mix.”

Noelle was amazed by Nathanʼs assessment. Normally, they would only gain this kind of perception when they were in their third years, but Nathan was special. She thought she could ask him everything, which, in turn, allowed her to teach Nathan. But there was no need to do it anymore.

She changed her decision and stated, ”Junior. For this mission, Iʼm giving you the opportunity to take the lead. I want you to think about the plan and order me however you want. Solve this problem. Do you accept the challenge?”

Nathan smiled because Noelle had recognized him. If he increased his favorability even more, Noelle might also protect him.

He thought, ʼHehehe. I have read all kinds of novels to the point where I know that the discipline hall or something will always be a problem. Thatʼs why I want it myself.ʼ

With a nod, Nathan said, ”I understand. I will take this opportunity to learn a lot.”
