Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 248: Sleeping Garden (Bonus)

Evelyn turned to the other four. "Do you have any objection to my decision?"

"His strength is a real deal, so I don't have any qualms." The muscular man nodded.

"Indeed. But I wouldn't forget the fact that he tried to kill me." The assassin pouted.

"I don't mind, but we need to observe him a bit more, making sure that he is trustworthy." The big man clapped.

"Indeed."

Evelyn nodded. "Alright. Bella. You take care of him. The meeting this time is nothing important, so you can teach him all the ropes."

"Alright." Bella nodded. "Let's go."

"Ehm…" Nathan ended up jumping off, too embarrassed she was carrying him. It seemed Bella had known about him faking his action this whole time.

In the end, Bella brought him to a different room. It looked like a living room, aside from a huge blackboard that contained the map of the continent.

"You naughty guy. I guess she lets you off pretty lightly for your first offense, but you shouldn't try that again."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Nathan looked away.

"Ahem. She was a noble before. Her father tried to partner her up with three people. However, the three of them met a cruel fate. One of them even turned into an eunuch by her own hand."

"…" Nathan shuddered. His hands were covering the most important thing in his life out of reflex. "Ugh. I'm sorry."

Bella chuckled. "But you have truly demonstrated a skill on a level of its own, especially compared to your peers. Even Evelyn wasn't that strong when she was your age."

Nathan shook his head. "I'm still too weak."

Bella knew that even though she was curious, she couldn't ask for Nathan's secret. Hence, she didn't mention his wind ability this whole time.

Instead, she began with the introduction. "Anyway, I should introduce myself first. Isabella Slavina, Evelyn's childhood friend. I was a noble before, but my house had fallen into ruin. My power is related to smoke. I hope you don't mind if I'm smoking.

"Our leader is Evelyn Lavender. She was a noble, but her house is still around. The reason she abandoned her noble status was because of a certain incident. If not for her ability, we would have died there. Her power is, as I said earlier, gravity and space.

"The assassin that tried to drag you here is Sonia. She is an orphan, but you shouldn't mention it.

"As for the tan guy, he comes from the desert. He is quite wealthy, and most of our funds come from him. He is a master of dual-wielding. His name is Neyeid Alcaaz.

"The big guy was formerly a priest, but because he is a big man and his strength is much stronger. He ends up acting like a berserker, which is unsuitable for becoming a priest. In the end, I recruited him here. He is Christopher.

"Last but not least, the muscular guy, Revon Damstar. He is a fighter who uses fists to settle things. Well, to put it simply, he is a muscle brain. He just does everything you order him to do, since he will trust you to be his brain. But he's a straightforward and honest guy, so people get along with him."

Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought. "I see."

"In that case, do you know what we're doing?"

Nathan shook his head.

"Our original purpose is to deal with the secret organization that has been controlling the world from the shadows. Well, it's basically for Evelyn's revenge, and we just end up helping some people along the way.

"We only have three rules here. Don't tell anyone about our existence or mention our names during a conversation, don't harm other members, and help each other when needed."

Nathan looked down for a moment. "Hmm. That sounds weird. Helping each other… Is it only for a mission or something?"

"Nope. Some of us are still active in the community, so if they are in trouble, we help. The same goes for you."

"In that case, why do you observe the academy? It's raising people's suspicions." Nathan frowned.

"After tracking them down, we have gotten some information about two individuals. The description is rather vague. In fact, Dikkleus has been called the glasses. And this time, the second person is called the eccentric."

"What? There is another person from that organization?" Nathan frowned. "Another teacher?"

"We only have that information. We don't know if this person is a teacher or a student. Our objective is to capture and interrogate them, but after observing the students for a while, we have yet to find anything weird.

"The teachers are the same, but they are more suspicious because they're stronger than students, which will make it easier to hide their own strength and affiliation."

Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought. "Do you have any other way to identify them?"

"None. We actually want to ask you that question. Can you identify them?"

"Unfortunately, no. I can probably do something if there's an alien in the mix, but if it's a human, I can't do much."

"In that case, what is your goal in joining our organization? It looks like you're the one volunteering…"

"Heh." Nathan chuckled. "My goal is beyond your understanding."

"I don't really care about it, but will it harm us?" Isabella asked, her expression turning cold.

"No." Nathan shook his head.

"Alright. That's enough for me. You will probably go back after this so that no one will find it suspicious. For now, you can take your time inside the academy and check if there's any suspicious person and report it to us."

"How? I don't have the means to contact you."

"Don't forget that our captain is a space ability user. She can create a small teleportation circle in your room. We can send each other a letter by using that."

"Ah, that's…" Nathan scratched the back of his head. He should probably tell her it was impossible, considering he had another person living in his room.

As if realizing what was going on, Isabella laughed. "Hahaha. You're the best. What a naughty boy. Well, that's for you to worry. Anyway, let me heal you."

"No. There's no need. I can heal myself." Nathan shook his head while summoning Anubis.

Anubis couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows when he saw Nathan's state. He didn't know what Nathan had gone through, but looking at Isabella in front of him made him judge Nathan with his eyes.

"Do you get involved in something troublesome again?"
