Chapter 14: Fenrir Learning
Nathan and Raivan were standing in the middle of the arena. Most of the students in the class decided to see this match. They were curious what Nathan could do against Raivan.
Even though his petty character was problematic, it didn't change the fact that his familiar was much stronger than Nathan.
"I guess the commoners dare to go against nobles just because they think they're the chosen ones." Prince Rudeus muttered.
"Even though Raivan Ryzant is not among the very top, he should be among the top twenty of our class. I guess we will only see a one-sided beating." August sighed. He tilted his head to the right and said, "What do you think, Selena? You're the one sitting next to him during the whole class."
Selena remained silent, watching Nathan as if she knew something big would happen.
Jason glanced at both sides. "I have confirmed the bet. If Raivan wins, he will receive 30 proto-class cores. If Nathan wins, he will receive 150 proto-class cores. If you don't have anything to add, summon your familiars!"
"This is the difference between you and me. Come out!" Raivan shouted.
A dark, swirling mist began to coalesce. The darkness thickened, forming a shadowy silhouette that loomed over the summoner. The figure was both formless and terrifying, filled with malevolence.
The mist solidified further, revealing its skeleton form, cloaked in tattered shrouds of darkness. A pair of bloodshot eyes flashed, gazing upon Nathan as if sending an invitation to the underworld.
Several students shivered just from looking at it, so they couldn't imagine what Nathan was feeling when making eye contact.
"This is my wraith! Something that you can't even dream of getting." Raivan shouted before laughing.
"Something I can't dream of getting, huh? It might be true to some extent." Nathan smiled, knowing that he didn't want something weaker after getting Fenrir. Besides, the wraith might look scary, but surprisingly he wasn't afraid. "Alisha is scarier, right?"
"This one is disgusting, not scary." Fenrir's heavy voice resounded as a small wolf manifested next to him.
The others covered their eyes as if they had already known the result of this fight. Compared to the wraith, Fenrir looked much cuter and harmless.
However, Fenrir said, "I've seen something similar to them, no, much scarier than them in Helheim."
Nathan smiled.
Raivan was gnashing his teeth, swearing that he would erase that smile from Nathan's face as he beat him up.
"Start!" Jason shouted.
The wraith let out a deep growl while trying to merge into one again. Fenrir inhaled deeply before barking.
"Waaf!"
The body that was about to merge suddenly dispersed in all directions. As a result, the hands that were holding Nathan disappeared into thin air.
"What?!" Ravian flinched.
Other students also opened their mouths in surprise, never expecting that the wolf they thought to be inferior to a goblin actually defeated the wraith.
Only Selena had her expression brighten as if she knew this would happen.
Now that he was freed, Nathan ordered with a cold tone, "Fenrir. Do it!"
Fenrir heard it but didn't reply. He simply closed in at fast speed.
"W-Wha—" Ravian took a step back. He had no way to stop Fenrir. "You be—"
Before he could say anything, Fenrir jumped toward his face and hit Ravian on the left cheek with every ounce of his strength.
That attack caused his bones to vibrate before his body was blown away.
Bam!
He crashed to the wall, two teeth falling off and his eyes rolling back.
Fenrir couldn't help but look at the paw that slapped Ravian earlier, recalling what Nathan said before the match.
"During the match, when there's a chance, I want you to slap him on the face as hard as possible."
"Why?" He was confused by that sudden request.
"The first reason is a secret, and you will find out the second reason once you do it."
Now that he had done it, Fenrir couldn't help but say, "Well, that was oddly satisfying. I should have done that back in Asgard."
