Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"Is that really Nathan? The one who is rumored to be fighting Alavenya the day after tomorrow?"

"He is insane. I've heard about him being the hidden expert among the first-year students, but he is too bold. Alavenya has been wreaking havoc in the second year-class. Her strength is much more apparent compared to him…"

"I don't think he will win."

"It's fine. He has won our hearts. After all, bold males are hot!"

The upperclassmen were arguing with each other as they looked at Nathan. Due to the rumor about their fight, Nathan somehow became the center of attention.

People were predicting he would lose immediately, but some thought there might be a reason for this challenge. Nathan shouldn't be foolish enough to challenge her without any chance of winning.

Hence, people thought Nathan might have a trump card. After all, he was Vivian's student. While Vivian wasn't stronger than the Dragon King, she was still the vice principal in this school.

Selena glanced at him while saying, "Look at you. People are busy talking about you…"

"Hahaha." Nathan chuckled.

"At this rate, all those people might come to take a look at your battle. Are you nervous?" Sera looked concerned. "In the end, you have pushed away a lot of responsibility toward Selena. Isn't it because you don't want to stand out too much?"

"I don't care about standing out." Nathan shook his head. "And this is also a perfect chance to do it."

"According to your teacher, there might be a bet to see who would win. After all, the matter has grown this big. I will still put all my money on you, though," Selena casually added.

"Me too." Sera hurriedly raised her hand, not wanting to lose.

"Thank you." Nathan smiled. Before he could say another word, the atmosphere inside the room had changed as a group of people made their appearance.

As soon as they appeared, Selena dashed. "I need to go for a bit. Sera, take care of him."

"Of course." Sera gave a thumbs up.

The student council had finally taken the stage, grabbing their attention.

Flora stepped forth while saying playfully, "Hello, everyone. Flora here. As you already know, our academy has gone through a lot in the past few months. It all started with the incident on the tropical island where the first-year student had to do their best to survive.

"Then, there was Axel. The terrorist organization, known as the Divine Hand, had infiltrated deep into our ranks.

"Thanks to the valiant efforts and relentless chase, we are able to uproot them from the academy. And for that, everyone has to be commended." Flora applauded, and the others followed.

After a brief moment, she continued, "Normally, this banquet's purpose is for all students to meet each other and form a mutual relationship. The summoners have to band together because there aren't a lot of us in the world.

"The upperclassmen can bring our freshmen on a mission to expand their horizons. The freshmen can give a breath of fresh air for our further growth. It's all coming together.

"However, this banquet is different. Other than for gathering, this banquet holds three more purposes.

"With the increasing threat from the Divine Hand, we have to get stronger as quickly as possible. As such, we encourage even the Summoners War between all of you.

"I have personally taken part in multiple Summoners Wars, and each time, I can see how my opponents use their Ena. Some were unique, some were normal. Nevertheless, all of them gave me inspiration and new understanding.

"Hence, I believe the Summoners War could teach us a lot of things.

"Second of all, the student council has worked hard to extend our hands to all nobles, not only in this area but also in other kingdoms.

"Some of you might have already known about it from your parents, but to make sure the Divine Hand can't gain any advantage. We have loosened up our security for the nobles and merchants.

"This is, by no means, trying to stop normal people from advancing. It's the other way around. With resources easily entering the academy, this will create a growth spurt. Of course, we'll do our best to ensure an academy life that is devoid of social structure. The student council will guarantee it.

"Last but not least, I hope this banquet will allow the sharing of information, whether it's technique or anything related to the summoners. The first-year can ask for advice regarding what to summon or the materials for them. The upperclassmen can do the same.

"If you'd like to keep some information a secret, I don't mind. But if possible, please think of this sharing of information as a good thing. That's all." Flora straightened her back and declared out loud. "As such, the banquet begins."

The applause immediately filled the air.

A lot of people were excited, especially the first-year students. The teachers had been a great help, but there were still things that the upperclassmen could do better. In the end, hearing a lot of things, such as what they could do in their situation and what they couldn't do from the upperclassmen, made it feel more relatable.

Of course, there was one thing they were curious about. Most of them were glancing at Nathan and Selena.

There were a lot of mysteries behind Nathan's beasts. At the same time, Selena had also shown two new species back-to-back, which meant she must have some secrets for those species.

As soon as the banquet began, people started to form groups. Some first-year students were bold enough to intrude on those groups to get their answer. Some students weren't so easy-going, which ended up with others picking them up so that they could join the fun.

Of course, the first one to come to Nathan was none other than the student council. Not only did Selena have to return to Nathan's side, but Flora also had something to say. After all, his unique approach and knowledge were something that people might want to know.
