Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 272: Letter

"Hmm?" Selena rubbed her fuzzy eyes while yawning. She thought about summoning Risa and preparing for breakfast before continuing their practice.

However, she was taken aback by the letter that was put on the table.

"Nathan?" Selena raised her voice while taking a peek at the bedroom, finding him still sleeping.

"Not him?" Selena looked down, examining the letter. "I don't think anyone can easily break in. Someone strong?"

When she flipped the letter, she finally understood what was going on. It was a letter from the principal.

'This is Leyfon. The first time I see your talent, I'm convinced that your talent is similar to mine, but I believe that your Ena Manipulation is much higher than mine. I don't have any shred of doubt that you will become the best Ena Manipulation user in the future.

'However, don't let this make you complacent. Even if you are able to do it, you will only be able to walk alongside him. From what I've heard, the beasts are not ordinary, so if he keeps that up, he will definitely stand on the top.

'If you're going to stay with him forever, you will need to continue polishing your skills. Strength speaks louder after all.

'Anyway, my objective in writing down this letter remains the same. I want you to focus on those four combinations and make sure to master them before reaching the second year.

'Even though I was your master for a brief moment, I declare that from this point onward, we are two strangers. It was my fault, so you could hate me if that could make you feel better.

'As for the reasons, you could ask him about it. Basically, I had no other choice but to leave the academy to avoid all kinds of problems. And acknowledging you as my disciple would just bring you and him trouble.

'If you still wish to learn more about Ena Manipulation, I have left behind several notes in Vivian's hands. If you don't need it and choose to advance your strength by yourself, feel free to do so.

'By the time you read this letter, I should have begun my journey around the world to take care of the problem.

'If you are worried about your position in the student council, you don't have to worry about it. Sullivan has promised me to help you regarding this matter. Besides, your man won't let them kick you out of the student council.

'Anyway, it's only for a brief moment, but I have fun teaching you. You are talented enough to understand everything I teach, whether logically or instinctively.

'Once my name is cleared from any suspicion, I will return. However, I don't know how long it will take.'

Selena couldn't help but furrow her eyebrows. "What's this? How could he just leave for no reason? What kind of reason forces the academy to change their principal?"

Selena looked down, falling into deep thought.

In the end, she summoned Risa to prepare for their breakfast while she returned to the room.

"Nathan, wake up," said Selena while shaking Nathan's body.

"Mhmm? What? Isn't it too early?"

"Wake up right now. There's a problem."

"I don't think there's any problem within the academy right now. Maybe a kiss will wake me up." Nathan acted spoiled.

Selena's eyebrows twitched. She planted a kiss on his cheek while saying, "Wake up. There's a problem. It seems the principal has left the academy. There's another principal replacing him."

"Huh?" Nathan's eyes widened but soon became sleepy again. "Oh! That must be the problem."

"What problem?"

"The terrorist organization that we're currently pursuing. It's created by someone who is… how do I say it? Close to the principal? They learned from the same master, so they were fellow disciples."

Selena's body shook. "So that means once it's revealed, the principal will be in suspicion?"

"Yep. However, I don't think they will reveal that truth. In fact, they probably won't reveal it and will deal with this organization in secret. That's probably why the principal leaves the academy. He is planning to deal with them without anyone knowing it."

"What if they reveal it?"

"Well, the principal will not like it. Considering the close relationship between them, it will just turn the Sage against them. Even the Holy Kingdom and the Azilia Kingdom won't be foolish enough to make someone as strong as the Sage their enemy."

Selena crossed her arms. "How are you so sure the enemy is his fellow disciple?"

"Three reasons. First of all, we have interrogated Axel. Then, the principal confirmed it to be his fellow disciple. The third reason is a bit of a stretch, but Teacher Dikkleus once said to me that the most dangerous people in the world are researchers and madmen. After everything that happens, I don't think he is talking only about himself.

"The principal told us he roamed the world after his master passed away while his fellow disciple remained on his research. And during the interrogation, the goal of the organization is to kill. We don't know who, but it reflects the madness of that organization."

"That's why you believe what the principal said is true?" Selena frowned.

"Yep." Nathan nodded. "The new principal should have a certain mission in this academy and he should have talked to the former principal. Besides, it's Noelle's grandfather."

Selena raised one finger. "Are they going to use the interrogation of Axel as a way to change the principal?"

"Most likely. It's a perfect excuse and people will definitely believe it."

"I see."

Nathan looked at Selena. "What do you want, Selena? Do you wish for the former principal to return?"

"I don't know." Selena shook her head helplessly. Unlike Nathan, she didn't have a lot of memories with the principal, which meant her bond with him was thin.

However, it didn't change the fact that she had benefited a lot from him and he was the most suitable teacher for someone with her talent.

"I can understand your feelings. You can think of it slowly…or maybe you don't have a lot of time to think because Sullivan is probably going to call us right after this."

And so he did.
