Chapter 13: Why?

Chapter 13: Why?

Nathan was fiddling with his badge. He didn't know why, but Selena had been following him around for some reason.

Even after going to the class, she ended up choosing the seat next to him.

His eyebrows were twitching as he couldn't help but ask, "Why are you following me around?"

Selena glanced at him for a moment before saying with an expressionless face, "We're simply going to the same place. Besides, I sat here during the test."

"Then, how about during the opening ceremony? There were a lot of empty seats."

"You were the only one in that row, so I sat there to avoid other students."

Nathan couldn't refute those words. While it was true that sitting next to a pretty girl was much better than sitting next to an annoying dude, he simply got a lot of stares from other students.

In the end, if he had to say, she would be one of the most beautiful girls in this class. She even came from a noble family, so it wouldn't be weird if they were aiming for her.

While he didn't mind problems, he just didn't want to deal with unnecessary ones.

"Alright. I'll take my seat elsewhere. It's better for you to sit alone since no one can bother you, right?" Nathan stood up.

Selena's body twitched.

Before she could say anything, the 'unnecessary' problem that Nathan mentioned earlier ended up coming.

It was the blond guy who had been mocking him the whole time.

"Yo, lowly farmer. I will challenge you to a Summoners War. A lowly farmer doesn't need an alien core. Give it to me."

'Ah, shit.' Nathan was burning on the inside. He didn't have any memories about him, so he thought there was no way he had humiliated him or something. Why would this person choose to pick a fight with him?

"I'll be the referee to that duel." Jason's voice suddenly echoed inside the classroom.

"!!!" Both Raivan and Nathan were stunned. Jason said it in a way as if a duel right at the bat wasn't something unusual.

"Take your seat. I'll be starting the class."

Raivan snorted. Since it had been settled, he had nothing more to say. Still, he would definitely beat Nathan so hard for his insolence against him.

Due to the ruckus they had, their Summoners War had actually garnered the attention of a lot of students in the class.

Most of them thought that Nathan would be the first sacrifice to understand the Summoners War.

Meanwhile, Nathan was slightly annoyed that he couldn't change seats. This challenge might not be related to her, but if he didn't escape from it, he was afraid that there would be a lot of people challenging him because of her.

Jason slapped the table, the sound grabbing the attention of the students.

"I'll be the teacher in charge of this class for the next one year. My name is Jason. Out of 130 people who took the test, 86 of you have been accepted.

"As the vice principal said during her speech, there are a lot of ways to receive resources from the school. One of them is to get a good result in the lessons.

"For the next seven days, I'll be teaching you Ena Manipulation. There will be both a written test and a practical test. 5 people who manage to get the top scores for each test will be rewarded with 20 proto-class cores.

"This is in order to prepare you for what's to come. In two weeks, you'll be going on a field trip. I'll give you the details after this week's material is done, but take this class seriously with that trip in mind. Any questions?"

"Teacher!" One of the students raised his hand. "What does proto-class mean?"

"We have categorized the aliens into several groups according to their physical abilities, intelligence, regeneration, and so on. The weakest is the proto-class alien, which is still in its developmental stage, causing it to have minor strength enhancement and limited intelligence.

"You will be able to find it after you kill the alien. Swallowing those cores will increase your Ena. In the second week, I'll be training your physical abilities for the trip.

"If you don't have any more questions, we'll proceed to Ena Manipulation."
