As soon as they reached the student council, Flora couldn’t help but clap her hands.
“Congratulations. I have never thought you would be able to defeat Rudeus like that. This is simply beyond my imagination. It seems you already know this will happen before you ask me to accept her to the student council.
“Of course, the avatar itself has shown the degree of her strength. Even a third-year student has a hard time to condense their Ena to such a degree. Her talent in Ena Manipulation can be said to be the best among the students at the Frexia Academy.
“Having such an addition to the student council is welcome.”
Her words just confirmed Selena’s suspicion. As expected, he wouldn’t suggest something he wasn’t sure of.
“Nevertheless, this means I can leave the student council.” Nathan smiled.
Flora’s eyebrows twitched. “What if I told you the reason I accept her is because of you?”
“Are you sure about that? If she is not qualified, then nobody among the first year is qualified to join the student council.”
Flora opened her mouth, wanting to say that he was the most important. But Nathan had raised his hand as if telling her to stop. “Besides, you can always come to her whenever you need my help. Isn’t that what matters?”
“!!!” Flora and Selena understood Nathan’s intention. By increasing Selena’s value like this, Nathan would still have the force of the student council even without joining it.
Besides, Selena’s position in her household was rather vague. By distancing from Flora, Nathan created a situation where Flora had no other choice but to turn to Selena in case she needed help.
In the future, she had no other choice but to help Selena in her fight against her own family if she wanted to keep Nathan by her side.
‘What commoner? There’s no way a commoner can be this good in politics.’ Flora was biting her lips inwardly. However, the person before her was indeed a commoner. He just had the experience of reading a lot of stories regarding nobles and what they did during their times as a noble.
Flora took a deep breath and said, “Alright. I understand. However, you still have to fulfill what you’ve promised first.”
“Of course. I will start today.” Nathan smiled. He gently pushed Selena to Flora by saying, “In that case, please take care of her.”
“Yeah.” Flora wanted to curse someone, but she was completely outplayed. She usually was the one outsmarting people, but Nathan’s thoughts eluded even her. Nathan didn’t play everything by the book, which made his action hard to predict.
Nevertheless, she could probably trust in his ability.
“Learn well. I’m going to take care of something!” Nathan winked, as if telling her to take advantage of this situation to get closer to Flora.
Nathan then politely nodded to Noelle. “Senior. I’ll be in your care.”
“Yes. You’re the leader. I’ll follow your instructions. You don’t have a problem with it, right?”
“Of course.”
“What are we going to do now?”
“Let’s…” Nathan grinned.
What Nathan wanted to do was actually patrolling the school.
Yes, it was just a simple patrol. Even Noelle was confused by the purpose of this patrol, considering they had never caught someone by this kind of patrol.
In addition, he was doing it during the day, which meant there were a lot of teachers and students going back and forth in the academy.
There was no one foolish enough to operate under everyone’s watch.
That was why Nathan’s action confused her.
However, the weirdest thing about his action was the fact that he visited only public spaces. He had never gone to the classrooms, whether it was the first year or the third year.
Instead, he was visiting a place that would be visited by some people but couldn’t be considered crowded, such as the cafeteria and even the training field.
“Do you know where I can find a book related to Ena Manipulation?” Nathan asked a student in front of him.
She was a second-year student in charge of the library.
“You can find it on the second floor. It will be the third shelf on the right.”
“Thank you.” Nathan smiled.
While they were coming up, Noelle couldn’t help but ask, “Junior. What are we doing exactly?”
Nathan chuckled. “What are we doing? Isn’t it obvious? I’m leaving my girlfriend behind to go around with you.”
“Are you cheating? Wait. Polygamy is accepted and even encouraged to spread summoner bloodline, but aren’t you too low, Junior? I might have misjudged your character.” Noelle frowned.
“Hahaha. I’m just joking. Actually, there’s something I’d like to ask you.” Nathan raised one finger. “I forgot my item in my class. I want to grab it right now, but since I have to read some books here, I hope you can help me.”
“What?” Noelle clenched her teeth. She couldn’t believe what he had just said.
In the fit of anger, she stomped the floor and exited the library.
Nathan’s expression turned solemn after she left.
While grabbing one book after another, Nathan muttered, ‘From all the stories I have read so far, they would never come to a classroom or anything related to a teacher. In fact, out of ten cases, seven of them will appear in the library.
‘If they have been watching the academy, they should have infiltrated the enemy since the beginning. All that is left is for me to find a clue about their existence.
‘But if even the student council can’t find a single clue about them, how can I do it? Instead of finding them, I’ll just bring them to me.’
And this library was the last place that he wanted to check. To force the enemy to make a move, he chose to send away Noelle.
As he expected, his plan worked.
When he grabbed another book, a letter suddenly slipped off the book and fell to the ground. This letter had just proven everything that he needed to know, whether it was the nature of the organization, their intention, or his importance in their eyes.
With a smug smile in his heart, he grabbed the letter.
