Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 243: Finding the Culprit (Bonus)

Noelle asked quietly, while taking a peek at where Nathan should have been. "What kind of item do you even need? I have asked your classmate, but you don't leave behind any item…"

But she soon stopped when she didn't find Noel there. "Eh? Where is he?"

Noelle was confused and soon became furious, wondering if he was just playing with her. However, she couldn't help but think of another possibility. What if Nathan was kidnapped by the enemy as a way to warn them not to search for them?

…

While Noelle was confused about his whereabouts, Nathan was already heading to a different place. It was all because of the letter.

'Classmate Nathan. I have been admiring you silently for a long time. Your face keeps appearing in my mind, your existence makes my day, and your smile brightens my world.

'I just hope you're able to meet me in the back of the Grand Hall. I'd like to say a secret I've been keeping this whole time.'

As if showing his happiness, Nathan was humming as he headed to the destination.

As soon as he reached the hall, he looped around the building to find whoever sent that message.

And there was no one at the back of the hall, as if this person was playing with him.

That was when he felt the cold metal pressing against his neck. He could feel the softness on his back, which implied the gender of the person.

"Don't move." Her voice was cold. "To think that you're foolish enough to fall for such a trap. Maybe we have overestimated you."

Nathan smiled as if he knew this would happen. In fact, his confident smile made it look like he wasn't afraid of death.

"So, what are you going to do to me now?" Nathan asked playfully.

"Are you playing around? Do you think I don't dare to kill you?" She gritted her teeth.

"You won't kill me. If you want to kill me, you don't have to wait this whole time. Let's see… Classmate Nathan? No one has ever said that to me. You should learn how they talk to me first if you want to make a move.

"Admiring me silently? That's the last thing anyone will do in my class. My existence makes your day? I'm literally terrorizing my class.

"If you want to talk to me, you should have waited until the class was over to make it more believable."

The woman's body shook. She dropped her guard for a moment, but Nathan didn't make his move, as if he was convinced she didn't plan to kill her.

"You know everything from the beginning? Then why are you falling into that trap? What are you planning? Tell me."

The woman pressed the knife a bit more, but not enough to make him bleed.

Nathan simply said, "I actually have a few questions for you and your organization. I know you have been watching the academy, but I have been wondering about your intention.

"And from what is currently happening, I can make a guess. Your organization… it must be an independent organization that has been operating in secret.

"The fact that you've become more active around the Frexia Academy recently must be related to the new terrorist organization.

"From those few points, I conclude you are trying to get information or secure something because you get a certain clue.

"That's why I have been testing you. If your purpose is to harm me or any students, you would have done it already. If your organization is a terrorist organization, you will definitely take advantage of the chaos.

"Hence, your letter has just confirmed everything. The student council has been making it hard for you guys. That's why you're trying to aim for me, a new member."

The woman was in utter shock. "You know everything? You…. How do you know? Tell me or I will slice your throat!"

"It seems you finally want to talk. How about releasing me now? I don't like talking in this position. Well, unless you prefer to spoil me with the sensation of your breast, I don't really mind."

"You lecherous bastard!" The woman was debating inwardly if she should let him go. It wasn't like he could escape from her.

After some consideration, she finally released him. Nathan took a few steps forward and turned around, finding the one who had been pressing her blade against his neck.

She was a woman. That was certain. However, she was getting covered with a black robe and the lower half of her face was covered with a mask.

"Heh…" Nathan smirked. "The reason you're able to catch this lecherous bastard is because I'm that lecherous bastard."

"Hurry up and talk!" The woman glared at him.

"Before that, I have some questions. It's just a simple yes and no question." Nathan didn't bother to wait for her response, knowing she would just threaten him again. He asked, "Is your organization small? Is your boss a woman? Is your boss sexy, cold, and strong? Maybe young, but not that young.

She must be talented."

"!!!" The woman was startled. That reaction gave enough information for Nathan.

His smile widened as he playfully rubbed his hands against each other while asking, "Ahem. Does your organization need a new member? I can become a double agent for you. I'm not planning to betray the Frexia Academy, but I can provide you with a lot of information. I believe our goal is aligned."

The woman was clenching her dagger tighter, as if she had a hard time containing herself.

"If you are still playing around, I'm going to kill you."

"Kill me? That's impossible." Nathan smirked.

"Impossible? It's up to my judgment if I should kill you or not. It seems I have given you too much freedom. Since you don't plan to speak, I'm going to open your mouth even if I have to torture you."

Nathan's expression turned dark as he said in a cold tone, "Sure. Do that. Let's see whether you can harm even a single strand of my hair before you die or not."

Little did the woman know, there was actually a silhouette on top of a building far away from them.

The figure was aiming her bow at this woman as Ena started to crack at the tip of her arrow.

She was the reason Nathan was able to do such a reckless thing.
