Chapter 250: New Form of Trump Card
The teleportation's direction was none other than Nathan's room.
At first, Nathan couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows, thinking that this kind of fluctuation of Ena would alert Vivian or even the principal. However, Evelyn's ability might have been much higher than he originally thought since none of them was coming to this room.
Wasting no second, Evelyn drew a small teleportation circle and hid it under a tile. This way, they could send out letters to each other.
"That's all. Do you have any other questions?"
"There is something I'd like to ask. Is there a chance for my familiar to sniff you?" Nathan asked with a calm expression.
Evelyn's expression darkened, making Nathan remember what Bella said previously.
He hurriedly explained, "It's nothing perverted. I just want to make sure they recognize you and will be able to track you if necessary."
Evelyn frowned. It could allow Nathan to track her, which would be dangerous in some situations.
However, this could also act as another way of tricking their opponent.
Despite knowing the risk of being hunted by Nathan or the people behind him, Evelyn extended her hand. "Sure."
This was her gesture to show that she trusted him at least this much.
"Thank you." Nathan wasn't dumb enough to not understand her intention. He immediately summoned Fenrir.
"Why do you—!" Fenrir abruptly stopped complaining when his instinct sensed the danger coming from Evelyn.
"Someone approaching the hero level?" Fenrir frowned.
"A hero?" Evelyn frowned. The fact that he mentioned it out of reflex meant this hero level in his mouth was a measurement for a much stronger person. In fact, there might be beyond it, which signified Fenrir's status.
Nathan hurriedly shifted the topic by saying, "Anyway, I want you to remember her scent. What do you think?"
"Eh?" Fenrir looked disgusted. "Is it even necessary?"
There was no way he wanted to lower himself to this kind of thing, but Nathan nodded his head, telling him it was necessary.
Fenrir clicked his tongue and said, "Fine."
He sniffed her arm and remembered her scent. After that, Evelyn returned to the base, leaving both of them behind.
"Oi. You aren't getting involved in a pointless thing again, right?" Fenrir sighed.
"Of course." Nathan nodded. "Besides, I have learned a few things. It seems I have to adjust my contract."
"Huh?" Fenrir was confused but soon noticed the soul contract being formed once more. This was similar to the trump card he had been hiding this whole time, but there was a twist.
[The contract shall be activated the moment Party A is saying the keywords.]
[If Party A utters 'Limit Break 1,' Party A will pay 50 Ena in exchange for the wind to obey him for 30 minutes.]
[If Party A utters 'Limit Break 2,' Party A will pay 150 Ena in exchange for the wind to obey him for 30 minutes.]
[If Party A utters 'Limit Break 3,' Party A will pay 500 Ena in exchange for the wind to obey him for 30 minutes.]
"You created three conditions?"
"Yeah. I had to activate the contract to join that organization. That was when I couldn't help but think. What if I fell into a much more dangerous situation? I don't think 50 Ena will be enough, right?"
Fenrir agreed. "Indeed. The more Ena you sacrifice, the more power you will get. That's how your contract works after all."
"That's why I think about creating three conditions like this. If the situation is dangerous, I'll activate the second condition. If it's like a matter of life and death, like when we're on the front line, activating the third one is possible. After all, it's better to lose a portion of your Ena than your life."
"That's clever." Fenrir nodded. "But why don't you create more contracts? Since it's going to be hidden and inactive, you can create a lot of contracts that you can use in all kinds of situations. If you create two contracts, like wind and fire, for example. It will be quite good, no?"
"Unfortunately, I don't think it's wise. Because of this contract, I can't say these words. If I create more, it means more banned words. Even a rare keyword might be used one day. It's better to avoid such an experiment since it'll be costly. But if I have more Ena in the future where I couldn't care less about fifty Ena, I might try it.
Just not now."
"Understandable."
"Yep. I'm thinking about experimenting with other things, but for now, I think this should be enough. I'll have to swallow as many cores as possible in the next several days."
Fenrir nodded. "Alright. Since you haven't lost your mind, I'll just trust you."
As soon as Fenrir returned, Nathan immediately headed to Vivian's office to report about it.
However, Vivian immediately said, "Evelyn Lavender. She is probably the most talented in my generation. It seems you don't know about their true identity completely."
Nathan scratched the back of his head. "Ahahaha."
"So, are you planning to catch the hidden spy?"
"Not yet. And I believe you shouldn't keep an eye on the school as well. It'll just make them suspicious."
"Do you have a plan?"
"Yep. To put it simply, their pattern is mostly the same. If they're going to do something, it will have to create a big impact. In that case, what kind of thing will have a big impact?"
"!!!" Vivian raised her eyebrows. "There are events for the second year and third year coming soon. It seems I have to take care of it. During that time, I might not be available to help you."
"That's fine. If nothing happens there, we can rule out that they're not hiding there. That leaves only the first-year students and the teachers. Of course, there's a chance they are trying to lie low for the time being because of what happened to Dikkleus."
Vivian thought for a moment. "I will handle it for now unless you're planning to do something else."
A smirk appeared on Nathan's face. "Actually, I have a plan."
