"I don\'t know how long it will take, but we can go on a mission together after that. It\'ll be the mission you pick. I\'m planning to visit my parents first before going there."

"I see." Selena looked a bit sad, but she could understand his circumstances.

After seeing her expression, Nathan couldn\'t help but tease her, "What\'s wrong? Do you want to follow me? We can\'t go to the Ancient Library together, but we can visit my parents together. Do you want to visit your in-law?"

"!!!" Selena\'s heart skipped a beat as her body froze.

"If you go with me, don\'t you think it can give a clear statement to your family that you don\'t plan to obey them?" Nathan grinned.

Selena furiously shook her head. "No. My plan is different. Besides, I haven\'t even agreed to become your significant other."

Nathan chuckled. "What? I\'m just teasing you. It\'s rare to see you being this flustered… or maybe you are expecting it?"

Selena made a small pout but soon smiled. The more she interacted with him, the more her emotions returned. She said, "For now, I don\'t plan to meet your parents. Since you are planning to leave, it means I can do whatever I want for the next few days. That\'s why you don\'t have to worry about me."

"Alright. I\'ll trust your decision."

"Thank you."

"No. I should be the one thanking you." Nathan smiled, adding inwardly, \'Because of you, my mind feels refreshed. I am uncertain how I feel about my parents in this world, but I\'ll see it through. And for that, the first thing I need to do is…\'

…

Twenty minutes later.

Nathan was already inside of his room.

"What are you doing? Release me," Nidhogg shouted while struggling on the ground. Anubis had caught him with his bandages while Fenrir pinned him down. If not for the fact this was Nathan\'s room, he would have used everything he got to escape.

However, the room was simply too small. His giant body already occupied more than half of the room.

Nathan formed his Soul Contract and gave the exchange condition.

\'Nathan will receive the 1,500 Ena that Nidhogg has taken forcefully in exchange for him taking the lead of the group for the next seven days.\'

Nathan didn\'t have anything to exchange for that much of Ena, but because he was an exceptional summoner and leader, he managed to leverage himself to be equal for this 1,500 Ena.

But since he already had a plan for how he would spend the next seven days, Nidhogg had no choice but to obey him.

"Come on. Give me back my Ena so that I can distribute it to the others."

"What? If you want your Ena back, just say it. But I think it won\'t work!" Nidhogg never thought that Fenrir and Anubis would restrain him for something like this. He cut his palm and signed the contract without any fight.

After that, Nathan did the same, planning to distribute the Ena to Fenrir and Anubis later.

But to his surprise, the Soul Contract that was usually written on a translucent blue scroll suddenly turned red.

"Huh?" Nathan and the others widened their eyes in shock as the scroll suddenly shattered like a glass instead of breaking into particles.

Nathan didn\'t feel a surge of Ena returning to him, so it only meant one thing. "Did the contract fail?"

"What?" Fenrir was taken aback while Anubis nodded. "It seems to be the case."

"Get off me." Nidhogg shook his body, forcing Fenrir to leap into the bed. Anubis did the same while Nathan sat down on the chair. "I told you it wouldn\'t work. If you make an agreement with my Ena on the line, you will receive my chaos energy. It might even destroy the contract."

"Is that how it works?" Nathan frowned and created another contract.

\'Nathan will lend Fenrir the Deadly Claw for a day for 10 Ena.\'

When he saw the contract, Fenrir immediately signed it, but to their surprise, the contract turned red and shattered into pieces.

"This is…" Nathan frowned. Nidhogg\'s theory was wrong.

Anubis asked, "Was it because your contract is in original form? If it was at a higher level, you probably could do that."

"Or was it because you are forcing the contract? But you didn\'t force me anything. Even this lizard gave his consent." Fenrir asked.

Nathan fell into deep thought. "I don\'t know, but this has sealed a lot of possibilities."

"What do you mean?" Fenrir tilted his head in confusion.

"I mean, if there is a powerful enemy, I can use this contract stating that they have to kill themselves, which will allow me to defeat an enemy much stronger than me. Or I can use the contract to force someone to say the truth, which is perfect for interrogation. Sadly, I can\'t do those things," Nathan explained.

"That might be true. You might want to upgrade your contract again to test it one more time. Or we can probably catch a bad guy to test this… a terrorist will work," Anubis suggested.

"I\'m not so sure about it." Nathan crossed his arms. "Nevertheless, it doesn\'t change the fact that I can\'t recover my Ena. It seems that there are still a lot of things I need to test."

"Indeed."

Nidhogg asked, "Since you\'re planning to go to the Ancient Library, why don\'t you try to find the answers as well?"

Nathan nodded. "Yes. I don\'t know what I can find from that place, but I\'m going to list all the things I want to know. If you also want to find something, tell me about it, since we don\'t know if I can summon you guys or not in that library."
