Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 48  Fighting for a Student

"Mhmm?" Nathan was walking to the class when he suddenly met Selena at the junction. "Yo. Despite achieving the result you want, your complexion doesn't look good."

Selena had bags under her red eyes. The reason was that she was too excited to sleep because this was the first time she found hope—her hope to turn her life around.

"It's nothing." Selena shook her head helplessly. "And I should congratulate you as well. You will be famous soon."

"Famous? Well, that's true. I don't know how I will handle that…" Nathan knew that if he became famous, every bit of his action would be seen and interpreted.

It was tiring to be famous. At the same time, it would be annoying if he wasn't. There were simply too many benefits one could get if they were famous.

"Besides, aren't you going to be popular as well? I've heard that it's a big deal to summon a new race." Nathan asked.

"It's true. My family will probably hear it soon." Selena thought for a moment. "Although it will be for a while, I can teach you about politics and how to act against them. I've been thinking about how to repay you. It's not much, but I believe I have some knowledge and experience that can help you. After all, you'll be much more famous than me."

"What are you talking about? When I come here, I overhear people talking about you." Nathan shrugged.

Selena shook her head helplessly. "My name will probably be heard by many, but your name will resound across the entire world. After all, you have confirmed that you are the only person who can summon a non-humanoid familiar."

Nathan agreed, but they would hear the news a bit later. Even if the students in his class sent the letter to their family, he should still have some peaceful time.

That was why he had to get stronger quickly.

While they were talking, a group of students and teachers suddenly approached them, specifically Selena.

"Selena Ashton. Congratulations on summoning a new race! Your achievement will definitely surpass that of your ancestors. I can be your teacher and make sure you achieve it."

"Selena Ashton. I'm from the Blood Research Club. Would you like to see our club?"

"Selena…"

"Selena…"

The people were flocking around Selena and separating her from Nathan.

Nathan took a step back, getting overwhelmed by their enthusiasm. To his surprise, there was no one actually coming to him. It was as if his unique summon didn't pique their interest.

It contradicted what Selena said earlier about his name resounding across the entire world.

While he didn't expect much, it was still outside his calculation that not a single person approached him. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'I guess I have become a bit too proud. I've forgotten that I'm here to survive, not caring about this fame or whatever. As long as I'm strong, fame will follow. That's all.' Nathan thought while scratching the back of his head.

Considering Selena was occupied by all these people, Nathan just went straight to the class, leaving her behind. Of course, he made sure to signal to her that he would go ahead.

Selena was suspicious and a bit annoyed, wondering why no one approached Nathan. She could think of several possibilities, such as people underestimating his beasts. It was unknown, so they had to approach him carefully.

However, the truth was much more bizarre.

In the corridor, a bit far from their current location, there were over ten teachers kneeling on the floor.

Before them stood Vivian. Her expression was dark and her eyes were exuding bloodlust.

While crossing her arms, she asked coldly, "What are you thinking? You actually dare to approach my disciple?"

The teachers gulped down, not expecting that the unique summoner was actually Vivian's disciple.

One teacher suddenly rose from the floor and shouted, "This is not fair! Do you think just because you are the vice principal, no teacher is allowed to approach that kid? No. You might threaten him to accept you as his teacher!"

"That's right. That's right. You are using your position to suppress us. You have only claimed him to be your disciple, but you haven't made him your official disciple yet. That's why no one knows about it." Another teacher followed suit. "We'll have to complain to the principal."

As Vivian was about to clarify, Jason's voice echoed from behind. "Vice principal Vivian hasn't misused her power in the slightest. I was there when she asked him to be her disciple… the time before the result of the admission test was published."

"What?" The teachers looked dumbfounded.

Vivian harrumphed. "Hmph. Unlike you pathetic oldies who were waiting to confirm his talent, I didn't care about it when I made him my disciple. If you are going to steal him from me, I will fight you, even if I have to fight the principal."

"…"

The teachers couldn't say anything while Jason casually walked past them, saying, "In that case, please excuse me. I'll have to go to class. We are about to get into the second event after all."

Nathan didn't realize that the reason no one approached him was not because he wasn't famous, but because Vivian stopped them.

Nathan was simply going to his class, a little sad. He noticed that people with good familiars like August and Rudeus were approached by some people as well.

Unfortunately, the only thing he could do was sigh while erasing his jealousy. He was still 16 years old after all, the same age as before he transmigrated.

It seemed that Selena managed to slip away thanks to Jason, who entered the class after her. Despite handling so many people, Selena's expression remained unchanged.

Jason, on the other hand, wrote down several things on the board before saying, "Alright. Listen up. I know that you have been unsatisfied with your performance this whole time.

"And you might think that people at the top have it easy because they keep getting resources.

"That's why there will be a battle royale for the summoners war. This is an event that allows you to earn points to exchange for cores, so the top students won't earn all the glory. Of course, you have to perform well to get the points as well.

"To prepare you for the battle royale, we will conduct special training for your path."
