Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 125: Discussion

Nathan looked down for a moment.

Vivian should have figured out that he didn't have a lot of Ena. Even if she suspected Fenrir was special and took all that Ena from his body, it simply didn't make sense. There was also Anubis that he summoned not long after.

That was why, after considering this matter from all perspectives, it was clear that something had happened.

However, Nathan didn't have the memory of it.

"Did something happen to you before you came to the academy?" Vivian asked.

"Nothing happened." Nathan shook his head, trying to calm down.

"Is that so?" Vivian crossed her arms. "I can't find any reason either. There is no book that explains your situation, or maybe I haven't read enough books."

"Don't tell me. You're going to research my blood?"

"I have my limit. Unless you are the one convincing me to do it, I will never do it. This is different from when I ask you to record the Ena you have."

Nathan paused for a moment. "In that case, what should I do now?"

"I'm not entirely sure. If your blood can enhance the potential of all vampires, it's clear that you will be the Ashton family's target. They will either come to kill you so that Selena can't do anything or they will rope you in by using Selena as the collateral."

"I prefer to know more about my blood first before coming to a conclusion. I might even reach a different conclusion if I know more," explained Nathan.

"That's true, but I don't really know…" Vivian abruptly stopped, as if she remembered something. "Now that I think about it, there might be a place that can answer your question."

"A place?"

"Yes. The Ancient Library of the Fairy Queen. It is a place that has the biggest archives of everything that we know in this world."

Nathan crossed his arms. "In that case, I should go there with Selena."

"No. You can't. Even though it is a library, only those who are permitted are allowed to enter. I don't know the exact location, but I have heard that whoever would like to enter the library will have to go alone and pass the trial."

"A trial? That sounds dangerous." Nathan frowned.

"Not really. From what I know, the entrance is located in a desert. If you continue walking in that desert, you will find a 'guide' that will give you the test and bring you to the library once you complete the test. As for the details, I think you better see my friend to give you direction."

Nathan fell into deep thought. "Can I actually pass the test?"

"Yes. The test will be based on your current strength. The stronger you are, the harder it will be. I think it involves an illusion or something. The Dwarf King built a hidden library for the Fairy Queen two hundred years ago. The Fairy Queen used her illusion power and turned this into a functional library even if her summoner wasn't here anymore and she couldn't return to this world."

"I see. I'll take the trial so that I can make a better decision forward."

"In that case, why don't you take this time to visit your parents before going to the library?"

Nathan nodded. "I'll do that."

…

While Nathan was discussing with Vivian, Selena encountered someone she didn't really want to meet in this academy.

The man had black hair and red eyes like her. His face had a bit of a resemblance, but they couldn't be identified as siblings without them acknowledging it.

"To think that you are still in this academy, Selena?" The guy glared at Selena.

"Oi, Victor. Who is she? She is cute." Another guy grinned, observing Selena.

"This is just a lowly woman in my household. If you like her, I don't mind if you play with her." Yes, the man in front of her was actually the eldest son of the Ashton family.

Because of the situation of her family, specifically her blood mother's family, she was born one year after him.

That was why no one really gave an objection the moment her uncle seized her father's seat and remarried her second mother and chose Victor as his successor.

"Heh…" The guy smiled lecherously, looking at Selena.

Selena gave them a cold gaze while saying, "Birds of the same feathers do flock together. It just… sometimes, I often mistook cuckoos as crows."

Both guys widened their eyes. They knew she didn't mean the birds.

"You…" Victor gritted his teeth and grabbed Selena's shoulder hard.

She could feel the throbbing pain, but she remained expressionless.

"Should I take this as an offense? For an upperclassman bullying a junior like this, I wonder what kind of punishment you will receive."

Victor's body shook. The guy beside him also wanted to punch Selena.

However, he had another idea.

"Ah, right? You seem to be close to that commoner. Even if we can't do anything to you, it doesn't mean there's nothing we can do to him. For example, his parents are just commoners. I wonder what kind of face he will make when he knows his parents get tortured and die because of you."

"You… He is not in this!" Selena frowned.

"Heh? Your expression finally changes." Victor grinned.

"How low are you going to fall to even resort to killing commoners?" Selena bit her lips.

"What commoners? You have been unusually close to him. People might even misunderstand you, saying you two are a couple."

"Don't involve him!" Selena clenched her hands into fists, her body shaking.

"Drop out of the academy right now. Or else, hehehehe." Victor chuckled.

"You…" Selena looked unwilling. "You'll regret this."

"How cold. You are going to sacrifice that commoner?"

Selena glared at him, her eyes exuding killing intent. She stomped the ground and walked away. It was clear that she was fuming in anger at how her body continued shaking.

"Fools." Victor grinned. "A dog dares to bite their owner's hand?"

When Selena turned in the junction, her expression turned back to normal as she pinched her cheeks while thinking, 'Was that how he tricked people? I hadn't shown any emotions for a long time. Did my expressions look awkward?'
