Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts - Chapter 68 A Reason

Chapter 68  A Reason

“Would you like to join the student council?”

“!!!”

All people dropped their jaws, including Selena and Rudeus.

“What? Did I hear it wrong?”

“He was invited to the student council?”

“What did he do?”

“He couldn’t even reach the hut. Is it only because his familiars are different from other people?”

The people uttered their shock before complaining. No matter how unique Nathan was, he wasn’t fit for the student council.

August had to change his opinion about Nathan. ‘What did he do? I don’t think the student council will pick him up just based on his unique familiar. Does that mean he has done something so special that the student council president has decided to invite him?’

Rudeus gulped down. ‘Why does she invite him so openly? Is she trying to send me a message that because he is still a citizen of the Azilia Kingdom, I shouldn’t have any thoughts about him? Is this a warning? More importantly, how can he join the student council before me?’

The people were complaining about the decision. Even the vice president, Axel Lotterl, couldn’t help but ask out loud from the stage. “President Flora. I don’t think it’s appropriate. Could you share with us what he has done to garner a seat in the student council? While I don’t want to diminish his achievement or strength, the student council is for elites among elites.”

The people fell silent, wanting to know the answer.

Flora glanced at Noelle first before stating, “He killed Noelle. Is this reason good enough, Vice President Axel?”

“Noelle?!” Axel’s body shuddered.

“What? An upperclassman?”

“No way!”

The students didn’t believe it. There was no way they could defeat an upperclassman, especially the members of the student council.

“She must be limiting herself.”

“That’s right. She must be fighting with a handicap or let him win!”

“Was he that lucky?”

“If I fought her, I would have gotten that as well!” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Yeah. There was no way he could defeat the strongest person in the school.”

“Shut up!” Axel stomped the ground, letting a burst of Ena. The shock wave silenced the students, allowing Axel to confirm one thing.

When she sensed his gaze, Noelle said, “I’m sorry for shaming the student council’s name… to think that I would end up using my Fire Star subconsciously.”

“!!!” Axel became even more shocked. He tried his best to calm down, but he still stuttered when replying to Flora. “I… see.”

While fixing his glasses, Regynar said, “Among all of us, there is one person you don’t want to offend, both because of her strength, but also her personality. If people claim there is someone in the student council who doesn’t know how to hold back, it will be Noelle.

“It’s true that all of us here limit our strength. However, Noelle remains the strongest. I don’t know how he achieves it, but if he has indeed defeated Noelle, I don’t have any qualms about him joining the student council.”

The other members agreed with his analysis. It was apparent from Axel that what Regynar said was true.

“Kh.” Rudeus gritted his teeth. After listening to Regynar’s analysis, he glared at Flora as if realizing her warning. Flora was indirectly saying, ‘Touch him if you dare,’ to him.

Selena looked down. She had never thought Nathan was that amazing. While she believed she was stronger than Nathan, Nathan’s true strength was his unorthodox method and familiars. Unless she knew him completely, it would be impossible for her to defeat him.

Meanwhile, Nathan considered the invitation a challenge. The fact that she invited him meant he would garner even more attention from now on.

There were a lot of people that wanted to join the student council. He would become their target if he joined, especially when the restriction was lifted in four and a half months.

Nathan closed his eyes for a moment before politely rejecting her offer. “I’m honored that you think highly of me. However, I don’t think that my skill has reached the level you desire. I’m also severely lacking in everything whether it’s knowledge or skills.”

Before he could confirm the rejection, Flora added, “No need to be in a hurry to reject me. You are welcome to see how the student council usually operates. So for now, I hope you can consider it carefully and see the student council first before making a decision.”

“…” If he kept rejecting her, a princess as well as the student council president, it would be too rude. There must be a lot of people that wanted to beat him up if he did that just so that they got Flora’s favor. Nathan sighed inwardly. “I understand. I thank you for the opportunity. Once I feel myself worthy enough, I’ll visit the student council.”

Flora nodded, satisfied.

Jason coughed loudly to gather their attention back. “Anyway, we have concluded today’s battle royale. You are free to leave. If any of you wish to take on a mission or do something else, you are free to report to me in the morning. I’ll be staying either in the class or the teacher room. Dismissed!”

The people were still shocked by Flora’s invitation. Only Selena, who was next to him, could speak to him.

She whispered, “I’m sorry. If I—”

Nathan stopped her with a shake on the head. “How about teaching me that explosive Ena? I feel like it’ll allow me to get stronger. This is not for an apology. Instead, you can think of it as a favor from that time, the test answers.”

“!!!” Selena understood the subtle intention. He had never blamed her. By teaching him, she would also understand Nathan a bit more, especially that unique way of thinking. In other words, just being close to him would make her stronger.

That was why Selena nodded her head. “I understand.”

“In that case, how about tomorrow morning? The Magic Department is free to use, right?”

“Yes. I’ll meet you there.”

“Anyway, do you have a way of leaving now? These glares are killing me.”

Selena also noticed the curious or envious glares of other students. Even though she was embarrassed, she grabbed Nathan’s arm and dragged him out.
