Chapter 50 Nathan\'s Choice
When he was about to move, his eyes glinted as he drew his sword as fast as possible.
The moment it was unleashed, the Ena that had been stored inside the scabbard flew out, extending the blade in a crescent shape and hitting the dummy that was 5 meters (16.4 feet) away.
Unable to withstand the impact, the dummy was sliced into two as the upper part slid down to the ground.
"Huu…" August exhaled in relief. It seemed that he had succeeded.
"Congratulations, August. You have managed to master this one swing. You can start learning other moves, which will become the foundation of your swordsmanship." Another student came in August.
August didn\'t say anything. Instead, he was staring at Landark who was defeated by Nathan previously.
"Raaaa!" He roared while waving his right hand vertically and his left hand horizontally.
His Ena extended his claws, similar to Nathan\'s Deadly Claw, and sliced the practice dummy into pieces.
However, after that arrogant challenge, other students didn\'t think highly of him anymore.
"Landark must be frustrated. Even if he does well in this class, he won\'t be able to defeat Nathan."
"Right? In the end, his werewolf will be suppressed by Nathan\'s wolf if they fight in Summoners War."
"He better not meet Nathan during the event since it will be game over for him." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"I know right?"
Landark could only grit his teeth because that was true. He just used that frustration to increase his strength even further.
…
Command Department.
"Go forth!" Rudeus waved his hand, shooting out Ena. It produced a light trail that curled toward the practice dummy before bouncing to another dummy.
The minotaur followed the trail and slashed the dummy with his axe before spinning his body to change direction and head to the second dummy.
The movement of the minotaur became even more solid and faster, allowing the minotaur to cut down the dummies in just three seconds.
"As expected of his highness. He is going to dominate the next event again."
"Yeah. That minotaur has become even stronger."
"His highness\' control is also allowing the minotaur to perform complicated stuff smoothly. He is like a maestro on a battlefield."
"I wonder how the event will turn out. How about August, Selena, or even that farmer, Nathan?"
"I don\'t know. Teacher Jason hasn\'t told us all the details about the event, but my older brother did it three years ago. He said anything could happen in that battle royale since no one is stopping you from forming a team."
"For real? If that\'s the case, can\'t we just group up and take down the top students?"
The students were discussing other things instead of training like Rudeus. The latter didn\'t say anything to them, fully aware that they were here just to fawn over him.
…
Research Department.
Because of the new race, Selena had to choose this department instead of her original pick, which was the Magic Department.
The lilitu, Sasha, was sitting in front of her.
Selena picked up an herb with a circular shape, as if asking her about this herb.
Sasha shook her head. "It\'s not compatible."
Selena then brought a bag of blood and a mouse.
Sasha looked at the blood bag for a few seconds before her focus was disrupted by the mouse. She touched the mouse with the tip of her nail. Nothing happened at first, but two seconds later, the mouse was suddenly convulsing uncontrollably before dying.
After that, she touched the blood bag, puncturing it with her finger. As a result, there were multiple black dots appearing on the blood, and it somehow coagulated after a bit more time.
Selena watched the result with a dumbfounded face before taking note of everything. The point of the Research Department was to figure out the specific race, allowing them to get stronger. It could be said that they were making the familiar evolve one step at a time.
Selena had to fully study Sasha so that she knew what to do in a battle.
Her focus was disrupted the moment she overheard the students not far from her.
"It\'s weird that Nathan is not here."
"I know right? He is the only summoner who has beasts as his familiars. Surely he should understand them, right?"
"Indeed. If he comes here, he will know what his familiar is all about. In fact, he might be able to discover why he is the only one having such an ability."
"I bet that there are a lot of teachers wanting to dissect him."
"Hahaha."
Selena\'s eyebrows twitched. The longer she listened to them, the colder her expression became.
At one point, bloodlust escaped from her eyes, but it was quickly dispelled by Sasha, who waved her hand in front of Selena as if telling her not to mind their words.
"…" Selena scratched the back of her head. She didn\'t know why their conversation annoyed her so much. She knew Nathan\'s personality and power. All those words and actions made her feel indebted to him. Even Sasha was proof of his kindness.
Fenrir might be the one telling her about the lilitu, but she doubted Fenrir would tell her about it unless Nathan begged him.
Selena harrumphed quietly and just focused on her own research.
…
Magic Department.
Nathan was sitting with his familiars.
"Isn\'t that guy staring at us a lot?" Fenrir asked casually.
"Who knows? He might be curious but not have the courage to ask, or maybe he is just here to observe us. Either way, it doesn\'t change my plan here." Nathan shrugged.
"Oh? You already know what you want?" Anubis asked.
"Yep. I\'m planning to learn long range combat with my Ena." Nathan nodded with a smile. "The moment I saw the power, I knew what I wanted."
"And that is?"
"Others have known summoners and Ena before they came to the academy. While I can learn it slowly, I still need to catch up. As a result, I can\'t pour too much time into this training, which is why I think of simplifying what I want to get double the result with half the effort."
"Are you going to spew another bullshit?" Fenrir\'s eyebrows twitched, remembering how Vivian became his teacher after eating those bullshits.
"Hahaha, nope. There is something that I don\'t need to learn as much as other weapons like a sword, a spear, or a bow, but it can become more deadly than those weapons." Nathan had a cheeky grin on his face. "The weapon that dominated my current era."
"Hoh? What is that, summoner?" Anubis had taken an interest in this unique summoner, who somehow captivated Fenrir.
Nathan raised his finger and said, "Gun!"
