Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

All of them could feel the anger in the principal's voice. At the same time, they never thought a commoner would have such an achievement. It was true that he was unique, but this surpassed their imagination.

Even Flora couldn't contain her shock when she learned about his achievement.

"How could he break the barrier of Teacher Dikkleus? Although he hasn't reached the rank of a grandmaster, his barrier is basically one of the best in this kingdom. And how in the world does he facilitate the agreement between the Holy Kingdom and the Frexia Academy?

"From what I know, the Pope is just. He won't come for no reason. Even though the terrorist organization is quite problematic, it's not something that this kingdom can't handle." Flora couldn't help but glance at Noelle. "Do you know anything?"

"I'm not sure. However, haven't we been notified that a representative from the Holy Kingdom will come here?"

"Hmm." Flora squinted her eyes, not able to draw any connection. "Nevertheless, this guy turns out to be more terrifying than I originally thought. I guess accepting him into the student council is good."

"You're not angry about the ruckus he has made? If I'm not wrong, he has burned half of the island."

"The event is canceled, so no one really harbors any grudge against him. It's especially true after he contributes so much. That's why it doesn't really matter. I don't even need to do anything." Flora shrugged. "Well, I will just remember him as a double-edged sword. He will do such a crazy thing if he is cornered."

Noelle didn't say more. Even she hadn't received any information from her family.

"Still, it seems we have to call him to the student council soon. Now that he has joined the student council, he needs to do one task or another, right?" Flora grinned. "This will be good to test his limit."

"He might not like it. From the way I see it, he is going to use the burning island and the canceled event to leave the student council."

"I will do my best to keep him." Flora nodded.

Obviously, Alavenya was also watching this award ceremony. She had never thought Nathan was able to achieve such a magnificent feat.

Without her realizing it, she had crossed her arms, and the grip on her arm started tightening.

Selena tilted her head, asking, "What is this cooperation with the Holy Kingdom? Well, you don't have an obligation to tell me about it, but I don't think I've heard of you having a connection with the Holy Kingdom."

"That's…" Nathan scratched the back of his head while looking away with a troubled expression. "I'll tell you about it later. It's supposed to be not a big deal, so I don't know why it ends up that way."

Selena nodded.

However, their interaction was actually seen by Selena's brother. He was gritting his teeth after seeing how close they were.

In fact, Selena must have been sucking up to him to even get the achievement. It seemed their Ashton family had to do something against Selena or Nathan, making sure that he wouldn't be a treat.

The principal continued, "The information and bounty for the terrorists shall be distributed through your homeroom teacher. After this, the first-year students will retake the event. Your teacher will be the one explaining about this matter."

With the conclusion of the award ceremony, the students returned to their class.

As they returned, Flora actually sneaked in a message to Nathan, asking him to meet her in the student council.

…

Once the students returned to their room, Jason explained, "All the rewards shall be distributed after the event to prevent any of you from using it to gain an unfair advantage against other students during the competition."

It was reasonable since Nathan also hadn't received his compensation.

Still, once Jason mentioned the competition, they all couldn't help but look at each other, thinking the same thing.

Rudeus might be right, but Nathan had the backing of the vice principal. In terms of politics, Rudeus would be stronger. But they were in the academy. If they pissed off the vice principal, they wouldn't end well.

Besides, Nathan only did it because he was pushed into a corner.

"And for the next event, we'll be conducting it inside the school. There will be several gems scattered around the school. Your task is to find them and bring it back to me. One pair can only turn in one gem. And that will be your score.

"There will be five different pearls. The one with the highest quality is the black pearl. For the second place, you have to turn in a red pearl. The third place is for those who turn in the blue pearl. For fourth and fifth places, it will be the green pearl. Last but not least, there will be five yellow pearls.

"Vice Principal Vivian will be the one helping with the battlefield. And the event will be conducted tomorrow.

"As for the method to get the pearl, the vice principal will tell you about it tomorrow."

Jason turned to Nathan and said, "Of course. I don't know if you believe me, but the Vice Principal has guaranteed her neutrality. In other words, no students will have more information than the rest. The teachers will also be watching. If someone is cheating, he or she will be disqualified. Is there any question?"

It was such a harsh punishment, but they all could feel relieved once they knew Nathan wouldn't have any advantage.

Even if they competed with him, they wouldn't gang up on him anymore.

Since the students had no question, Jason continued, "Anyway, it's time for the next announcement. Because of the cooperation between the Frexia Academy and the Holy Kingdom, the latter has sent their representative both to deal with this problem and to study.

"Hence, we'll have a transfer student. I don't think I have to tell you about her, since she is well known. And I believe it's better for all of you to know her personally.

"Without further ado…" He turned to the door and said, "Come in!"
