Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"It took a while, but I've finally returned." Nathan waved his hand.

Selena rushed at him and scanned his body from top to bottom, looking worried. "I thought something happened to you."

"Haha. Don't worry about it. How about you? You definitely have made some progress, right?"

"Yes." Selena nodded.

"That's great. Are you planning to summon the jiangshi? You should have gotten the items from the Dragon King by now…"

"Indeed. They arrived three days ago." Selena raised one finger. "Actually, I want to wait for you so that you can witness it as well."

"Is this so that you can hold me accountable when you don't end up with the jiangshi?" Nathan chuckled.

"No way. Why do you think like that?" Selena pouted.

"Haha. I'm sorry. I can't help but tease you."

Selena fell silent for a moment before sighing. "I'm planning to summon the jiangshi tomorrow. You should get some rest for today."

"Alright. How about the mission? Have you chosen a mission?"

"Yeah. I'm planning to take on a mission near the border with a lot of aliens and a high reward. The mission doesn't have a time limit, so we can depart in two or three days.

"And in this mission, there is something I'd like to propose." Selena's expression turned serious. "For this mission, I'd like to propose a split between me and you to 2:8. In other words, you get eight cores while I only get two."

"What?" Nathan obviously couldn't accept this. "I refuse. There's no way this is fair. We'll split like usual."

"Please listen to me first." Selena shook her head. "I know that this doesn't sound fair, but trust me, this is fair. There are two reasons I propose this split.

"First of all, I know how much you need cores. I do indeed want to help you because I can get a lot of Ena from even a single core. I don't intend to demean you."

Nathan frowned. "But you can sell the cores for money. I'm sure you need some money."

"No. Currently, I don't have any trouble with money. I have all the equipment I need to fight, so I'm not desperate right now.

"On the other hand, if you get a lot of cores, you will have a lot more Ena, which also increases our chance to win the event.

"Well, I can't deny I also want to pay you back for all the kindness and help you've given so far.

"As for the second reason, I'd like to ask something. There is a new technique that I'm currently working on. I want your opinion about it so that I can do it better.

"This technique will be our trump card against anyone else in the event." Of course, this technique was also her way of challenging the principal. If she was able to master this technique, even the principal had no choice but to acknowledge her.

Nathan thought for a moment. It looked like a fair trade. At the same time, there was no reason for Selena to pay him back or ask for his advice.

She just made a reason so that he would agree with the split.

Nathan noticed one more thing. "I'm sure this is not the only reason, right?"

Selena looked down and rubbed her cheek. "Actually, there is one more reason. I don't really have anything to pay you for your blood. I'm sure that Risa will need it. As her summoner, I have the obligation to feed her blood so that her strength could grow.

"However, that's not enough." Selena shook her head. "That's why this is just the first step. I'll look for another way to repay you."

Nathan gave a sly smile. "Actually, there is one way to repay me."

"There is?"

"Yeah. Live with me."

"Huh?" Selena tilted her head in confusion. She asked, "What do you mean by living with you?"

"First of all, I don't want you to misunderstand my intention."

"You said it in such a way that it's easy to misunderstand, and you expected me not to misunderstand?" Selena squinted her eyes.

"Hehe." Nathan looked away. "Anyway, I have a plan to get a place that will also include a courtyard. Since it will have several rooms, you can actually live with me there.

"This way, we can meet each other pretty easily. In the courtyard, we can practice together. Besides, it'll be much easier to discuss our plan, the mission we will go together, and other things." Nathan explained.

It was indeed a great plan, but Selena could see through two hidden plans. Selena said, "You might have worded it that way, but the fact that it has several rooms means you're planning to bring in more people, aren't you? And let me guess, women?"

Nathan's body tensed up.

"And the fact that I have to leave my place and stay with you means that if I want to go back, I have to start from the beginning again. In other words, you are going to trap me in a way so that I won't leave you."

Nathan's back was drenched in sweat. Selena truly knew him the most.

Selena crossed her arms and stared into Nathan's eyes. She closed her eyes for a moment before saying, "Alright. Let's go with your plan."

"Eh? You actually agree…"

"What? You want me to reject your idea?"

"No…" Nathan scratched the back of his head.

"I have my own thoughts about this matter, but I don't want to share them with you right now. Let's just say I'm angry right now. At the very least, you are honest with me, so…" Selena raised one finger. "Rather than letting you sneakily do it, it's better to openly control your limits. If those places will allow me to see who they are, it will be easier to mur… I mean, talk to them."

Nathan's heart skipped a beat. Selena's expression was dark, as if she was ready to murder someone.

"Anyway, let's go back. You must be tired after a long trip." Selena dragged him back to the dorm.

But before they entered, Nathan abruptly stopped as he said, "Actually, I have something to say to Risa. Can you summon her?"
