Chapter 40: Angry

Jason put the poster that contained the ranking of all students. There were a lot of students having 0 points, but there were also some impressive scores, especially the top scorers.

Rudeus Viti Liaystian: 5100 points. August Reeves: 4585 points. Nathan: 4351 points. Selena Ashton: 4328 points. David Leivester: 3780 points.

"As expected of his highness Rudeus, he is the number one."

"He dominates the entire challenge with such a big gap."

"August has fought well, but he comes short."

"But look... the third rank..."

"Impossible. How could the farmer achieve that?"

"What did he do?"

"He beat Selena?"

The students dropped their jaws in disbelief. A lot of them knew that Nathan was strong, but not this strong. They never expected that someone who couldn't summon a humanoid creature to actually be in the top three.

Rudeus and August couldn't help but squint their eyes. Back then, they considered Nathan a potential threat, while Selena was one of their rivals. After seeing this score, they realized they were too naive. Nathan wasn't a potential threat. He was already a dangerous shadow that was about to grab their backs.

If they underestimated him again, they might be devoured by Nathan without them realizing it.

*Bam!*

"Only after this one-month period ends that you'll be able to go outside the academy to take on missions."

Nathan took a look at the form. It was a simple form that wanted them to describe the item. They wanted to know what kind of familiar the students wanted to summon and would probably give them advice in case there were some mismatches so that the student didn't summon the wrong familiar.

Selena looked at this form with a sad expression. Because she lost to Nathan, she couldn't get the information about Lilith.

'I already know what I want to summon, as for her...' Nathan scratched the back of his head. He whispered, "Selena."

Selena's body shook. When she turned her head to him, Nathan noticed the tears forming on the corner of her eyes, making Nathan feel bad.

He knew how much this bet meant for Selena. Even then, he had to win for his future. Of course, if Selena was too weak, he would definitely not be able to help him.

That was why Nathan said with a smile, "Fenrir seems to want to talk with you because he is curious about big figures that he might know."

"!!!" Selena was dumbfounded. Was it a pity? But she had no choice but to accept it since she really needed that information.

"Because I can't summon him here because of the rule, I'll have him sneak into your room. Just open your windows and tie something into the window to let him know which one is your room."

Selena nodded furiously. In exchange for the knowledge about this world and the figures that had been summoned that he might know, Fenrir would tell her about Lilith.

"I understand." Selena couldn't waste this chance.

Nathan smiled. Fenrir didn't know that he was still under contract to help him. Nathan could shove all the knowledge he had about the myths, and Fenrir had no choice but to do it.

After all, if Nathan were the one telling her about Lilith, Selena would be suspicious as to where the information came from. One wrong word would make her realize that he was the one who had that information, not Fenrir. He just wanted to avoid that kind of scenario.

Jason announced, "You have two days to turn that form since the academy needs time to find those items. If you don't have any questions, you are allowed to leave. Get a good rest after this trip."
