Chapter 69 Warning
Rudeus and Flora were facing each other in the corridor.
Rudeus raised his voice, asking, "What are you doing, Flora?"
"What am I doing? I don't know why you're asking me this question. I'm standing in front of you," replied Flora in a playful tone.
"You know what I'm talking about. Do you think I'm oblivious to your message when you recruit him to the student council in front of everyone?"
"Oh my." Flora grinned. "He is a citizen of the Azilia Kingdom. As the representative of the kingdom, I have to take care of my own people, right? Don't tell me, does the Liaystian Kingdom plan to snatch my people?"
"Your people?! I discovered him first!" He gnashed his teeth.
"And yet, you did nothing. This is the difference between us. You can scheme however you want, but that's the reason for your slow speed. The Azilia Kingdom chooses to be decisive when making a decision."
"You..." Rudeus' breathing became rough as he had a hard time to calm down. Nathan's value had just skyrocketed the moment he defeated Noelle. No matter what they said, Nathan had both the uniqueness and the strength to join the student council.
Connection and wealth were something he could build from now on.
Flora started walking as she said, "We both are royalties. We know that no matter how good a sovereign can be, they still need to be calculative and have the necessary ruthlessness.
"You can play to be the best all you want, but in the end, strength reigns supreme. Besides, I'm not the one who you should be worried about. If you are going to play your scheme against him, I might not even need to play my cards.
"Just remember that humanity is under an alliance in order to fight those aliens. However, it doesn't mean that we have to play nice with each other. You can focus on that petty rivalry of yours with that successor of the Blacksmith Guild, I'll take care of Selena Ashton and Nathan. They are my subjects after all."
Rudeus' body was twitching, and his body was distorted. What was more frustrating was that he couldn't even reply to a single word she said. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

August sat down alone in his room, remembering everything that happened during the day.
He still remembered how Selena dragged Nathan away. It was clear that no one could approach him like this.
"That's..." Selena crossed her arms. "I think it's possible. Something like this?"
Selena raised her hand, forming the sphere again. But after applying more spin, the sphere gradually elongated.
"What? You can do that right away?"
"It's not hard." Selena tilted her head in confusion.
Nathan's eyebrows twitched, wondering if she actually didn't realize she was talented at manipulating Ena.
While they were talking, Noelle suddenly came to the Magic Department, startling the students in the class.
"You are... Noelle Flamante from the third year, right? What are you doing here? This is the class for the first year." The teacher stood on her way, his words gathering the attention of all five people in the Magic Department.
"Is that Noelle Flamante?"
"Why is she here?"
"Is she coming for Nathan? Maybe something like revenge?"
The students were observing her closely.
Noelle took out a paper for the teacher. He was slightly surprised by the content, but he said, "You may go," after inspecting it.
Noelle nodded before walking to Nathan.
Selena frowned. Even though they were not enemies anymore, her instinct was telling her to be on guard against her.
"Junior. I have come as promised." Noelle gave him the paper. "This is the detail. I have handled all the formality as well as received your teacher's permission. The trip should only take about seven days. We'll meet in the morning three days from now. I'll be waiting for you at the school's gate."
"Oh!" Nathan nodded. When he was about to grab the paper, a figure suddenly stepped between them.
It was Selena. She was spreading both of her arms with sweat covering her face, not allowing Noelle to pass.
