Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 92: Dragon Kingʼs Request

ʼSo this man is the dragon king.ʼ Nathan tried his best to calm down, even though the natural aura of this man kept attacking him like a beast staring at its prey. Nathan took a deep breath and politely bowed to him. ”Itʼs an honor to meet you, sir Dragon King. I am Nathan, the disciple of the Forest Queen Vivian.”

Nathan took out the letter of recommendation and presented it to him. ”This is the letter from the principal.”

A small smile appeared on the Dragon Kingʼs face. Even though he could see his hands were trembling, Nathan managed to regain his composure quickly.

Selena surprisingly did the same, even though she took a few seconds more.

”Since you are here, does that mean you have agreed with my condition?”

”About that…” Nathan scratched the back of his head.

”What? I believe I have been generous enough.” The Dragon King squinted his eyes, pressuring Nathan.

On the other hand, Nathan simply said, ”Iʼve heard that Solerei City is a city that your familiars get their right recognized like any other summoners. If I agree to your condition, specifically your third condition, Iʼm afraid that Iʼm treating my familiar like an object of trade.”

The Dragon King squinted his eyes, but Nathan chose to confront him.

”So you are saying you want me to get your familiarʼs agreement?”

”Yes.” Nathan nodded. ”If I canʼt do that, I will take my leave and apologize for wasting your time.”

”Does that even matter? I can force you to stay here forever.” The Dragon King smirked.

Nathan gulped down. If the Dragon King wanted to kill him, he could kill him with a flick of his finger.

However, Nathan remained as calm as possible and said, ”I donʼt think someone as wise as the Dragon King will do something like that.”

”Hoh? Do you think Iʼm afraid of your teacher? Vivian is still a junior to me. I couldnʼt care less about her opinion.”

”Not at all. Iʼm just thinking that youʼll be in a lot of trouble if you kill me. First of all, Iʼm here because of the principalʼs permission. And if youʼre planning to eliminate me, it means that there will be a lot of people getting pissed because they wonʼt likely find the reason for my unique summoning. And of course, youʼll be held accountable.”

”They wonʼt offend me just because of a brat like you.”

”Really?” Nathan smirked.

The Dragon King squinted his eyes. The pressure became even more overbearing, which made Nathanʼs face turn pale.

However, the pressure soon disappeared to the point where Nathan couldnʼt feel anything from him.

The Dragon King said, ”Fine by me. I finally understand what kind of person you are through that conversation. In fact, you must have realized that Iʼm just testing you, right?”

”Ahahaha. I donʼt dare to claim Iʼve seen through your test. If not, my body wonʼt be shaking.” Even though Nathan said it that way, his mind was screaming another thing, ʼHahaha. I have seen a lot of old men testing with this kind of pressure. Too easy.ʼ

The Dragon King said, ”In that case, Iʼll be getting your familiarʼs permission first, but you also have to help persuade your familiar. If he still doesnʼt agree, we can forget about it.”

”Understood.” Nathan nodded.

”You donʼt have the problem with the other two conditions?”

”It is only right for me to do something for the Dragon King in exchange for the blood and the scale. As for watching me summon my third familiar, I can only say that there is no one more reliable than having you.

”After all, both of us want the summoning to succeed.” Nathan smiled.

”Who knows? I might not want you to succeed, especially a sly brat like you.”

”Please donʼt joke around. You are probably the person who wants this summoning to succeed the most. Not only do you want to see the real dragon, but you are also wanting its blood. If thatʼs the case, it means you want that blood either for yourself or someone you hold dearly.”

”Oi.” The Dragon Kingʼs expression turned cold.

”My apologies. I have crossed the line.”

”Pfft!” The Dragon King suddenly burst into laughter, which startled Nathan and Selena. He said, ”Hahaha. You think you have crossed the line? You are not though. In fact, the mission is related to that. I just want to see your face when you are in trouble.”

”…” Nathanʼs eyebrows twitched. How could he be this petty?

The Dragon King turned serious and looked to the east. ”On the eastern border, there is a small breach. Iʼve gotten a report from my subordinates that they have patched the hole, but there are still a lot of aliens scattered in our territory.

”I want you to meet my daughter over there. Iʼm assuming that she is planning to take down a mature class alien.”

”Do you want me to help her against the mature class alien? I donʼt think Iʼm that capable.”

”I know. What I want you to do is actually show off. I have been thinking of putting her into an academy, but she has never gone to one. Due to her talent, there are many people trying to invite her to various academies, but she always wants to remain in the mercenary group.

”Although Iʼm impressed by her dedication, I want her to enjoy a normal life for her age. So if you go there, I just want you to help her, maybe showing off a bit, which will pique her interest in going to the academy.”

Nathan thought for a moment. ”I donʼt think I have that power.”

”Maybe, maybe not. But you should understand what Iʼm trying to do, right? Just do it. Even if you fail, Iʼll still give you what Iʼve promised. If you succeed, Iʼll throw some bonuses. What do you think?” The Dragon King asked.

Nathan contemplated before glancing at Selena. The latter tilted her head in confusion. Nathan raised two fingers, ”As long as you donʼt mind the method, and the bonuses are for both of us. I have a high chance of making her go to the academy.”
