Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 301: No Tournament

”As long as we donʼt fight, everything will be solved.”

”Are you stupid? He clearly says that it will become an immediate marriage? I donʼt even understand why he suddenly does this…”

”No. He only said that not accepting my challenge, losing, or winning the fight would result in marriage. If you can find an excuse to not fight, everything will be solved.

”Thatʼs why we have to find a way to make it look like we donʼt need to fight. Maybe sickness or something? But that wonʼt work. We need something big, especially from your side. You can think of something, right?”

”Why donʼt you think of something? You are good at this, no?” Noelle felt something suspicious.

”Sure, I can do that. But there will be someone who needs to keep your grandfather in check. I was planning to do that with all this terrorist stuff, but I guess I have to divert my focus elsewhere…”

”…” Noelle contemplated. It would be troublesome not only for her but also for the school if Nathan stopped working on this new case.

It seemed she really needed to do it whether she did it alone or with someone else, and she had to succeed.

Noelle nodded. ”Alright. I will think of something. You can focus on those problems for the time being.”

”Alright. Anyway, I have passed the message from your grandfather. I need to visit my teacher.” Nathan waved his hand and walked to Vivianʼs office, leaving the entire student council speechless.

”What the hell is that? Noelle. I heard that your grandfather and father are doting on you… And because you keep beating all your fiance candidates, there is no one approaching you anymore,” Regynar asked.

”True. I have heard about it. Because of that very reason, youʼre able to go to the army after your graduation. This is so sudden…”

Flora scratched the back of her head. ”Donʼt tell me. Your grandfather is trying to seize Nathan? The condition is for you to marry someone, right? And only by winning in the Summoners War do you end up marrying Nathan.

”If you think about this, doesnʼt this mean your grandfather is trying to marry you to Nathan? That someone can be Nathan, no?”

Noelle narrowed her eyes. ”I donʼt find him repulsing, but I donʼt have any intention of marrying someone… at least not right now. All I wish for is for me to become a sword master first before thinking about that. Thatʼs why I donʼt want this. Help me think about this, Flora.”

”Well, I will help. The graduation is still 8 months from now, so we can think of something. Anyway, this is weird, and I feel like something is going on.” Flora waved her hand, assuring Noelle.

After giving them a headache, Nathan went straight to Vivianʼs office.

”Master. I have dealt with the problem in that city.”

”Oh! Good work. Anything you would like to report?”

”Nothing.” Nathan shook his head. ”Iʼm just wondering if youʼre going to join us or not.”

”Sure. As I told you before, Iʼll be joining you in the last three days. That means four days from now.”

”Canʼt you go there faster? I mean, I am planning to absorb a lot of mature class cores.”

”A lot of mature class cores?”

”Yes.”

”How many?”

”Over 20 cores.”

Vivian frowned, thinking, ʼHe must have robbed someone.ʼ

Still, Nathanʼs body would have a hard time enduring it. If Nathan overdid it a bit, he might be in trouble.

Due to the amount of Ena in each core, the reaction from the mature class core was bigger. That was why Nathan asked her to accompany him, making sure everything was alright.

”I donʼt really mind going there early. But are you doing something crazy over there? Who did you scam?”

”What do you mean scam? I am a morally upright person.”

Vivian looked at him with a judging gaze, completely not believing him.

”Itʼs a negotiation. I did negotiate for all those cores.” Nathan shrugged.

Vivian sighed. ”In that case, I will join you in two days. I have seen the report as well, especially regarding the destruction of the mansion. Iʼm going there to fix it up.”

”Anything else?”

Nathan thought for a moment. ”There is something I want to ask this whole time.”

”What is it?”

”Do we have a competition with other schools?”

”Are you talking about the competition to see who is better?”

”No. Iʼm talking about a competition between all academies to see who is the best academy. How do you even know the Frexia Academy is the number one academy in the first place?”

”Of course, resources, teachers, and assets.” Vivian tilted her head in confusion. ”Still, a competition, huh?”

”Yeah.”

”There is none currently. Right now, thereʼs no need to compete with them that way. After all, we are being considered the number one because of our students, reputation, and all that contribution to the world. Rather than having a shallow competition, which can easily change every year or every few years depending on the talented students you currently have, itʼs better to compete in a much larger area.”

”Understandable.” Nathan nodded in agreement while adding inwardly, ʼStill, no competition, huh? Whenever I read a story with an academy setting, they will definitely have competitions between academies. 9 out of 10 cases, it will be a tournament. In this academy, there is only Summoners War…

ʼThen again, after listening to her explanation, itʼs much more reasonable. In the end, they will have to depend on the talented students who come and go. That ranking will change every time the tournament comes. Rather than having such a shallow achievement, itʼs better to have a reputation all around the world. Well, winning it again and again will have different results, and these tournaments are usually used so that they can bless talented students with more resources…ʼ

Nathan shrugged. ʼNever mind. Itʼs better not having a tournament.ʼ

”Anyway, you should go there first. What if those two girls cause ruckus over there because of their rivalry?” Vivian waved her hand.

Nathan chuckled. ”Donʼt worry. It wonʼt happen, but yeah, I donʼt think I need anything else. I will just take my leave after giving my report.”

Vivian looked surprised when she heard it was fine, as though Nathan had everything under control. It just gave her a weird thought.
