Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 15: Test

Chapter 15: Test

"Nathan wins!" Jason hurriedly declared after that slap. He waved his hand to the staff standing outside the arena. "Hurry up and bring him to the infirmary."

"!!!" The students stood up, staring at Fenrir with stunned faces.

"He won?"

"What?"

"How can this be?"

"That wolf is not weaker than a goblin. That slap alone can rival an orc."

"He is actually not weak?"

Most people couldn't believe it, but some regained their composure almost immediately.

"So it's not about talent." Prince Rudeus squinted his eyes with a sly smile on his face. "Nathan, huh? It seems that I have to keep an eye on him."

Selena stood up and walked away.

August was staring at Nathan while muttering, "Now that you've done this, you will definitely make an enemy of not only Raivan but also his family as well as the people who are currying favor with him."

Nathan's face remained calm. He wasn't proud of this victory, nor did he intend to. In fact, the only feeling he had currently was anger.

He coldly left the area without sparing another glance at Raivan.

Curious, Fenrir asked, "So what is the first reason?"

Nathan shook his head helplessly. "It is to humiliate him."

"To think you're that kind of person." Fenrir looked disappointed until Nathan added, "No. It's to understand the people in this world."

"Huh?" Fenrir tilted his head.

"Yeah. I want to see how petty the people of this world are. I've read in a lot of stories that if you beat them, their elder brothers will come. You beat their elder brothers, their uncles or parents will come out."

"That's kind of dumb."

"I know right?" Nathan sighed. "I just hope they're not that foolish. While that slap was humiliating, it was something that could easily be solved."

"But what if you're wrong? You would face endless trouble from now on. Not that I mind since I can fight a lot of opponents."

"That's why he is a perfect target. A baron, the lowest class of nobility... A single warning should be enough for them."

"Your teacher?!" Fenrir finally understood Nathan's plan.

"She will probably forgive me and handle it personally for my first mistake. At the same time, with this experiment, I'll know how I should deal with the situation in the future."

Fenrir never thought Nathan had seen that far ahead. No matter how annoying Nathan's attitude could be, Fenrir couldn't deny that Nathan's action was impeccable.

"Besides, while you don't mind a challenge, I doubt you will like it when people keep bothering you. For example, what you want is to fight strong opponents. Meanwhile, what if there are a hundred mosquitoes coming at you again and again, which causes you to not have much time for other things?"

"!!!" Fenrir couldn't refute his words. "I see. Fair enough. Now that I know the reason, I'll go back."

"Yep." Nathan nodded as he saw Fenrir disappearing into thin air.

There was another reason why Fenrir disappeared though.

All of a sudden, Selena stood in the middle of the corridor as if she had been waiting for him.

Nathan couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows.

"I have something to ask." Selena was the first to break the silence.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Why do you not say anything even though you are stronger than him? Is it fun to be humiliated?"

"What do you mean? Or I suppose I should ask you, 'Is there a reason why I have to say it?'"

Selena's expression darkened. "I know that you have become the vice principal's disciple. If you just mentioned it, you would have gotten out of the trouble."

'Did she know it because of Alisha?' Nathan thought before replying, "Will he believe it?"

"That's..."

"I'll answer it for you. No, he won't. The class will probably think the same. If you are in the same situation as the others, will you actually stop me here?"

Selena couldn't say anything. After all, he didn't say anything wrong.

"If that's all, I'll take my leave here." Nathan stepped to the side before continuing his way.

However, Selena suddenly reached for his arm, stopping him.

Nathan frowned. Talking with a beautiful girl was definitely pleasing, but she was just a bit persistent.

"I'm sorry." Selena lowered her head. "I know that I don't have the right to stop you, but could I borrow some of your time?"

'If I'm not wrong, she is also from a noble family, right? She is actually lowering her head? To a farmer boy to boot?' Moved by her sincerity, Nathan turned around once again.

"I hope that you can tell me your answers you've written for the admission test."

"My answer?"

"Yes. People might think low of you because they believe that your summoning ability is much inferior to theirs. Hence, the fact that you can become the vice principal's disciple must be related to the written test. I apologize if this sounds offensive, but I can't see any reason how you're able to answer those tests because you are a farmer from the countryside with no access to knowledge about summoners."

'Did she deduce all that by herself?' Nathan was taken aback.

"There should be no problem revealing your answers since the test won't repeat. And I'll properly compensate you."

Nathan thought for a moment. Vivian didn't say anything regarding the answer. Besides, all of them were just bullshit. Only someone like Vivian could use it for her research or something.

Getting a favor from a noble like her would definitely benefit him, especially since Vivian wanted him to be independent.

"Fine." This was Nathan's decision.

Selena's eyes were filled with excitement. When they were about to leave, Alisha's voice suddenly echoed across the corridor.

"Young master. Mistress is looking for you."

"!!!" Nathan glanced back, finding Alisha. He smiled wryly, "I'll write it down and give it to you later. It's fine, right?"

Selena's expression darkened, but there was nothing she could do but nod her head.

"Yeah, I'm coming." Nathan walked to Alisha.

"Ah. Did I perhaps disturb you?" Alisha took a glimpse of Selena playfully.

"No." Nathan shook his head, but before he walked away, he said to Selena. "About your first question. I only have one answer. I don't need to prove anything to anyone."

Selena was taken aback by the answer, but her face immediately hung low while muttering, "No need to prove, huh? If only it was that simple."
