Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 232: Request

Now that the situation had been cleared up, Nathan took his leave, as he had to take the call to the student council since Flora had summoned him.

Obviously, he had to bring back Selena first before she ended up harming Sera.

"Pfft. You're still alive?" Flora chuckled, teasing him while trying to hold back her laughter. She must have seen it from somewhere.

Nathan let out a long sigh and said, "If that's all you're going to say, I'm leaving."

"Wait. That's not it." Flora hurriedly changed her tone. "There is something that I'd like to ask you."

"Yes?" Nathan frowned.

"According to the report, you're the one finding out the 'queen' of aliens. How did you do that?"

Nathan thought for a moment. "My familiar has a good nose. He can differentiate which one is an alien, which one is not."

"Hmm…" Flora squinted her eyes. There was no way Nathan would say it was just a speculation from all the stories he had read in the past.

Flora thought for a moment and asked, "Does that mean you can find an alien without confirming they can talk or not?"

"Essentially." Nathan nodded.

"If that's the case, I would like you to do something for me." Flora raised a finger.

"That is?" Nathan crossed his arms, not really wanting to do anything with the student council. Although he had enough reason to leave, there was something he hadn't gotten from the student council. He needed this student council to find the mysterious organization.

If completing this mission would allow him to do it, he would gladly agree to her request.

"Noelle." Flora glanced at the person standing next to her.

Noelle nodded. "Currently, the academy feels like they're being watched. I'm not entirely sure about this, but there are a few instances where we almost caught them.

"I'm not sure what kind of thing they're trying to get, but this has become a concern. Is it possible for your familiar to track them?"

"Hmm." Nathan thought for a moment. At first, he thought this would be the one he was searching for. But he couldn't be sure after everything that had happened in the last few days.

"From where they are watching? Inside or outside the academy? And has the principal been notified?"

"From the outside, and yes, the principal has been notified. Your Teacher should already know about this, but the fact you don't know about this means she might want you to focus on the competition." Flora nodded.

"And you're still going to involve me?" Nathan frowned.

Flora smiled wryly. "Yes and no. The principal has been notified, but he is unable to locate them. What do you think is currently happening?"

Nathan looked down. "A barrier that isolates their hiding place or a teleportation ability?"

Flora nodded.

"I see." Nathan sighed. It was no wonder why they asked for his help. She wanted him to locate them, find the possible barrier, and dispel it himself. He could do it by himself. At the same time, was there a need to do so?

"Is there a reward? And you don't think I'm strong enough to handle this matter, right?"

"Of course. You might probably have noticed that there are only me and Noelle in the student council most of the time, right?"

"Indeed."

"That's because we have divided ourselves into several teams. Regynar and Leon are currently investigating this matter from an economic point of view. If there is anything strange, such as a purchase or something, we will be able to locate them.

"Axel and Lovelia are in charge of investigating the city, but they haven't found any clue yet. Meanwhile, Noelle and I remain at the academy to ensure the safety of the students.

"Other teachers have been notified as well. So, if you are going, you will go either with me or Noelle."

"And what is the reward?" Nathan asked.

"The reward, huh?"

"You're not expecting me to risk myself for no reward, right? If you're going to use the student council as a reward, I'm going to quit right away."

"If that's the case, what do you want? If it's something within my ability, I will allow it."

Nathan smirked. "If that's the case, I do have one request. Make Selena a part of the student council."

"Huh? The girl that is always with you? She might be talented, but she hasn't stood out enough for us to recruit her." Flora frowned. "Besides, you have just resolved the cat fight between the two. She would be in trouble if she ends up fighting her, you know."

"Even if that means the Pope will have to fight Frexia Academy's Sage?"

"The Principal?" She dropped her jaw when she understood the meaning of Nathan's words. "The principal took her as his disciple?!"

Even Noelle looked shocked.

Nathan remained silent, not confirming or denying. However, there was no one foolish enough to falsely claim themselves as the Sage's disciple.

If this were true, Selena might indeed have the qualification to be a part of the student council. After all, her strength would increase drastically for the next three years.

What Nathan wanted from this exchange was the protection of the student council, keeping the Ashton family in check.

This way, Selena didn't have to rely on the principal to handle things for her, which was something she wanted.

After considering it carefully, she added a condition. "First place. You have to get first place in the next competition."

"That's easy. And if we are going to investigate them, I will go with…" Nathan pointed at Noelle.

"Me?" Noelle was surprised. For an investigation, Flora would be more suitable, considering she was smarter than her.

Flora asked, "Do you know anything we don't know?"

"Nope. I'm as clueless as you are." Nathan smiled. The first thing he wanted to do was learn about the nature of the organization. If this was the hidden organization he thought about, they would definitely work in the way he predicted. If not, he would change his strategy, which would involve the teachers.

Flora finally made a decision. "Alright. I will accept your condition."
