Chapter 300: Agreement
"I'm talking about fighting my granddaughter, Noelle, in the Summoners War before her graduation."
"Fighting Noelle before the graduation?" Nathan furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you serious? Do you know how big the gap between us is?"
"Yeah. I'm serious." Sullivan nodded. "I know how big the gap between you two is. However, you should have thought about it, no? If you are able to defeat Noelle before graduation, your reputation will soar even further. And with just a bit more achievement, you will become a noble."
"Don't you know that a noble has to fulfill all kinds of obligations? I don't really want to handle all those problems."
"I am aware." Sullivan waved his hand. "Whether or not you want to be a noble is up to you. The only question will be if you would fight my daughter before graduation."
Nathan looked down, falling into deep thought.
'If I fight Noelle, I don't know if I can win or not. In case I lose, I still get Sullivan's support for the rest of the year. If I win, the situation will be much more complicated.
'Still, being a noble, huh? My original plan is to either become a mercenary or a noble to avoid most of the problems. If I end up defeating Noelle, a lot more people will focus on me. In addition, the range of information I can access will be much higher.
'Well, I can become a noble if I want it, so it doesn't really matter. I guess I can get his support and lose.
'What Sullivan wants is just for Noelle to progress. If she is to fight me, she will have to… No, wait. Is there even a need to fight her at all?'
Nathan couldn't help but smile. "Principal. You said that you want me to fight your granddaughter. I wonder, is it because you want her to progress, or is it just for a mere fight?"
"Of course, the former. I have told you the reason. She is simply too stiff. If this goes on, she will end up in trouble. That's why I want her not to be stubborn."
"If that's the case, I have a better solution for you." Nathan grinned. "Instead of fighting her, I will just play with her."
"Hmm?" Sullivan crossed his arms. "Do you understand why I want her to get stronger before graduation?"
"After graduation, I bet she will be deployed to the front line."
"That is correct." Sullivan nodded. "I know that her strength and technique will progress, but there is someone who is able to deal with a lot of problems with his brain. I just hope that my granddaughter can learn from that person." Discover hidden content at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net
"I have a solution. If you trust me, that is… And of course, I hope you don't get angry at whatever I'm about to do to her."
"So be it." Sullivan nodded. "We can do it your way."
"In that case, please support me through cores. I need a lot of cores and not just for me, but also for Selena."
Sullivan chuckled. "As expected, she too, huh?"
"Is there a problem?"
"No. In that case, I will give you ten mature class cores right now. Do you want anything else?"
"I want an item, possibly of the highest class. However, I don't know what familiar I'm planning to summon, so I will just hold on to that promise right now." Clovis raised a single finger while adding inwardly, 'Not for me, obviously.'
"Well, I can do that much for you." Sullivan nodded. "Alright then. I hope you're able to make my granddaughter stronger."
"I will do my best." Nathan only calculated six mature class cores for the agreement between him and Evelyn. The other four were considered Sullivan's support, meaning he could give them to Selena or Sera.
Now that the agreement had been established, Nathan gave him the three alien corpses to Sullivan.
Once it was done, the first place he visited was none other than the student council. Since he was going to spend some time in the school, it was better to deal with everything first before going back to the beach.
"Hmm? What are you doing here? I heard from Selena that you're going on a vacation with her." Flora crossed her arms. Other people in the student council also stared at him.
"Please don't mind me. I need to go back here for a bit. After meeting the principal earlier, he wants me to pass a few messages to Senior Noelle." Nathan pointed at Noelle behind Flora.
"Me?" Noelle was confused. There was no way her grandfather abused his authority as the principal.
Nathan raised a finger. "He wants me to fight you in the Summoners War right before your graduation."
"Eh?" Noelle wasn't the only one confused. First Alavenya, and this time, it was Noelle. "Why?"
"I don't know. However, he tells me about these conditions. If you lose to me, you are going to get married after graduation."
"What?!" Noelle clenched her hands.
"Also, if you reject this challenge, he will immediately marry you off."
Noelle's right hand reached for the sword on her waist.
"If you win against me, that means you will marry me instead of someone else."
"What are you even doing? You're getting involved now?" Noelle frowned.
Nathan sighed and started sobbing. "I am being threatened, you know. If I can get away from this, I would have done so."
Noelle contemplated. "Doesn't that mean I have no escape? I thought he gave me freedom to join the army after graduation…"
"It might be due to the recent event. The front line has become so dangerous that he can't bear to part with his granddaughter... I don't know." Nathan shrugged. "Then again, even if I want to find a marriage partner, I would find someone I personally choose. So, I'm also in a bind."
"True." Noelle seemed to be thinking hard, trying to find the solution to this situation.
That was when Nathan raised a finger. "Actually, there is a solution."
"A solution?"
"Yes. As long as we don't fight, everything will be solved."
