Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 209: Suspended (Bonus)

"Stop! The event is now suspended!"

"What?" Not only the students, but the teachers were also confused.

They turned around and saw the principal standing behind them.

"Principal?!" Jason gasped.

"The principal?"

"The principal is here?"

They turned around, not expecting the principal to be observing them the whole time.

"Why are you here?" Jason stepped forward. "This is supposed to be—!"

Before he finished his words, the principal simply stated, "The event is now suspended with my authority."

"But sir… If you interfere like this…" Jason glanced at Selena. It was clear that the principal did this for Selena.

However, the principal simply shook his head and said, "There are things you shouldn't see at the end of this tunnel. For now, I'll suspend the event and give not only the teachers but also the students an explanation later. Jason, you go back and take care of the suspension. The rest of the teachers will escort back the students and gather them at the port. If necessary, bring them back to the ship."

"Yes!" The teachers were confused, but they had no other choice.

Rudeus looked like he wanted to rebuke him, considering this was the perfect moment for him to gain victory.

As if knowing what he wanted to say, the principal simply said, "Your father will definitely strip you of your title once you speak those words. And I'm not threatening you."

"What?" Rudeus' body trembled. If the principal was telling the truth, it meant whatever at the end of the tunnel was so important that they had to keep it a secret no matter what.

However, Selena intentionally entered here, so Nathan might also be at the end of the tunnel. It wasn't fair that they could know what the secret was while he didn't.

But the principal simply turned to Selena and said, "You, too. You have to follow them back to the coast. Is he inside?"

"Yes." She nodded.

"Alright. Go back. I'll take care of everything here." The principal didn't admit it, but it was clear that he ended up falling for her bait. He never thought that Selena would end up outsmarting him. It was no wonder why Vivian was so confident.

Nevertheless, he immediately headed straight into the deepest part of the tunnel and saw Nathan with his familiars. He noticed Anubis' peculiar power.

Sensing his presence, both Fenrir and Nidhogg immediately stood in front of Nathan, trying to protect him. They could faintly sense the overwhelming power that the principal hid in his body.

"Are you Nathan?" The principal asked. His voice wasn't loud, but it rang perfectly in his ears, despite the distance.

Nathan recognized the principal and said, "Student Nathan greets the principal."

"You have to go back right now. Let me take over the rest of the situation here. Although you must have known this, keep everything you see here a secret."

"That's what I'd like to do, but sir Principal… I hope you can give me a few more minutes. My familiar is currently in the middle of soothing the vengeful souls who have died from such an injustice. And we're also in the middle of searching for information."

"Souls?" The principal squinted his eyes and observed Anubis.

"Yes." Nathan nodded.

"In that case, what have you found so far?" The principal asked.

Nathan hesitated for a moment, thinking, 'The principal shouldn't be the bad guy, right? In fact, he isn't supposed to be here in the first place. If not for Selena, he probably won't know anything. If he's the culprit, he would have sealed this cave.

'However, the fact that the cave is open, it is as if they want us to discover this place. But for what?' There were a lot of questions in his mind, but knowing that the principal wasn't the enemy, he explained, "I have found…"

Nathan briefly recounted everything he got from those souls. Unfortunately, they couldn't find anything important.

"Hmm…" The principal looked around. "It seems they're experimenting with aliens… maybe combining them."

"Yes. We have encountered a similar case during our previous mission. Back then, we received the Sword Saint's help, but we were unable to figure out their origin. At first, we thought it was the mature class alien, but we were wrong." Nathan nodded.

"Is that so?" The principal thought for a moment before sighing. "Although you have encountered this problem, I think it's better if you go out right now.

"I don't want you to be deeply involved in this problem for your own good. After listening to Vivian, I know you aren't the type that will blurt out this kind of secret.

"But if you get involved in this problem, your academy life will be ruined. Just look at the size of this place. Whoever the culprit is must be within the Frexia Academy.

"And to do something on this scale without me knowing it, he must have a backing as well. This mysterious organization must be the one trying to find the extent of this experiment. That's why you should go back. Let me take care of this problem."

With the principal insisting on him leaving, he had no other choice. Sadly, a voice rang from the tunnel as another person entered this cave.

"The most dangerous person in the world is not people like you, Mr. Principal. It is either a madman or a researcher."

"!!!" Both the principal and Nathan turned around, looking at the figure.

"You—!" The principal widened his eyes in shock as a huge magic circle appeared underneath his foot. It was a trap. The principal realized it and immediately waved his hand down.

The Ena gushing out of his palm actually created a massive crater, as if he were attempting to destroy the magic circle. "NO!"

The principal widened his eyes, realizing the hidden trap within the magic circle. This was not an offensive or defensive magic circle. It was a teleportation magic circle.

The activation couldn't be undone. The principal hurriedly changed his target from the magic circle to the culprit, but it was too late. The magic circle had teleported him off the island.

The culprit smiled and fixed his glasses. "We have met again, Student Nathan. You are so unique that I have always wanted to experiment with your body."
