"Are we really going to fight her?" Nathan made a wry smile. "Fenrir. I'll be buying some time. Teach Anubis about that."
Fenrir was confused for a moment, but there was one thing that always worked. It seemed that Nathan had a plan.
There was a high chance they would fail, but this was probably the only method that could defeat such an opponent.
Nathan stood up while saying, "Don't you know how to hold back against your junior?"
There wasn't a change in Noelle's expression, as if she had done nothing wrong. "Can you say that to the aliens?"
"Fair enough." Nathan raised his right hand. Five bullets were formed on top of his palm, each bullet fairly weaker than the one Nathan usually shot, since he had to separate his control into five.
"Small spheres that contain Ena, huh? People tend to use the shape of their weapon or the explosive force of Ena to base their attacks. You are quite unique, Junior." Noelle raised her sword. "I won't fight you with my familiars. You can consider this a handicap."
"Thank you then," said Nathan in a sarcastic tone as he fired out all those bullets at her head.
"Even though they are unique, you should have made a lot of them and attacked me from all directions if you want to have a chance to hurt me." Noelle skillfully put her sword in the bullets' trajectory, blocking all of them in rapid succession.
However, her calm expression turned to surprise because those bullets were never meant to hurt her. He aimed at her head so that she would block it with her sword, covering her vision for just a split second.
Nathan took advantage of that moment to turn around and start running.
"W-What?" Noelle was speechless. Nathan looked like he was raring to go against her, but the next second, he ran away as quickly as possible.
Even Fenrir and Anubis dropped their jaws to the ground as if they couldn't believe what their summoner had just done.
"Who wants to fight against an opponent that can kill me instantly? I'll only fight in a battle I can win!" Nathan laughed.
"You disappointed me, Junior! To think that you would be a coward." Noelle stomped the ground with her right foot and used that power to cover the distance between her and Noelle.
"What?" Nathan widened his eyes as if Noelle closing their distance in an instant was out of his calculation.
Not only them, even the people watching through the mirror couldn't help but complain.
"What? Did he just run away? Is he a coward? Should I really take him in?" Flora's brain was short-circuited, never expecting that Nathan was someone who could easily change his mind.
On the other hand, Vivian could only laugh.
"What are you laughing at? Your disciple is a coward!" Flora couldn't comprehend how Vivian still had the heart to laugh.
If Fenrir hadn't acted surprised, she would have believed that Nathan ran away because he didn't want to die, even if it meant leaving behind his familiars. But Fenrir should have seen it coming, since they did the same trick against Alisha.
That was why she knew this was Nathan's trick. "Yeah. That evil knight will definitely have a hard time against him. You should fear him the most, not when he is overwhelming, but when he is running. After all, that's when he becomes unpredictable."
As she said those words, Fenrir and Anubis leaped into the air, taking the perfect time to strike Noelle when she was about to pass them.
Noelle definitely thought that Nathan had abandoned the two, so the moment Fenrir and Anubis attacked, she didn't have the chance to counterattack.
In addition, Fenrir and Anubis used their respective power and strength enhancement, forcing Noelle to use her own Ena to neutralize them.
All she could do was raise both her sword and scabbard, blocking their attacks at the same time.
"!!!" Noelle's momentum vanished. Before she could do anything, Nathan suddenly turned around and formed one more bullet, aiming at her chest.
Nathan thought he would be able to get her just like he defeated Alisha. Sadly, Noelle proved him wrong.
She kicked the ground, scooping the earth with her pointy knight shoe and raising it up. The timing was so perfect that the bullet actually hit the soil, which transferred the energy. As a result, it was the soil that hit her chest instead of the bullet, ultimately stopping her from having a hole in her chest.
Still, that kind of attack was supposed to hurt, but she didn't even flinch as if she couldn't feel the pain.
Due to the initial attack failing, Fenrir and Anubis ended up landing on the ground.
The moment she was free, Noelle released a massive amount of Ena from her body, causing a powerful shock wave that pushed Fenrir and Anubis back.
Anubis summoned his bandages, trying to capture her ankles and wrists. Fenrir let out a roar, trying to disperse her Ena.
Noelle used all that Ena to boost her physical ability before leaping toward Nathan.
Nathan instinctively used his Ena to create a translucent barrier just to distract her, but Fenrir knew what was going to happen. "Get down!"
Nathan trusted Fenrir and ducked as Noelle cut his barrier along with the trees behind him. After that, she spun her body and kicked Nathan in the side.
After getting beaten so many times by the aliens, Nathan instinctively raised both of his arms before that kick arrived. He managed to block it, but the kick was powerful enough to launch him away.
His body bounced several times on the ground as he crashed into a tree.
"Gah!" Nathan coughed up blood as he lost the sensation of his arms.
Noelle stood there for a second before lowering her head. "I underestimated you, Junior. For that, I'll apologize. However, you can abandon the idea of getting past me.
"Instead of getting to the hut to exchange for some cores, if you manage to deal any damage to me, how about I give you a better offer, such as letting you join me on a mission? Upperclassmen can't challenge the freshmen to a summoners war, but they can bring a freshman out on a mission. This will definitely be a good experience for you to broaden your horizons, Junior."
