Defeating the Terrorists

"Where do you think you're going?" Jason asked coldly while holding two heads in his hands. 

A galloping sound of a horse resounded from the side as a centaur came while swinging his blade swiftly, slicing the two humans that were trying to escape from Jason. 

On the left side of the entrance, a group of guards came to reinforce.

"Kill those who resist. Apprehend the rest!" A guard shouted as he had his werewolf pinning down a terrorist on the ground. 

The other guards followed the instruction and worked together to take the enemies down.

On the other side, giant roots emerged from the ground and captured three of the terrorists. The one controlling them was an elderly druid. 

"It seems they are fine, Mistress." He glanced at Vivian, who was staring at the academy's entrance from the roof. 

"Yeah." Vivian closed her eyes. "It seems that he is more extraordinary than I originally thought."

"You look so happy, Mistress. I suppose I should say congratulations…" 

Vivian responded with a smile. 

…

"Haaa…" Nathan let out a long sigh, his face turning pale. Even though he had expected this kind of outcome, the foul blood smell and the horrendous state of the corpse made him want to vomit.

"Are you alright, Nathan?" Alisha immediately checked on him after seeing there were no more threats around. Even the ones she didn't have time to kill had already moved further in. 

"Yes, I'm fine. Are you sure you don't need to chase them?" 

"Your safety is my current priority. The threat here has been neutralized, so I assume that the rest will be taken down by the school's personnel."

"I see." Nathan fell on his butt with a tired expression. Once he knew they were safe, all adrenaline left his body. "Who are they?"

"I'm assuming Chaotic Cat Terrorists. They are terrorists who are kidnapping people who have just become summoners to brainwash and train them as their own. Because it's still a holiday, they must try to take advantage of the situation to kidnap the new students. It never happens whenever the principal is in the school. But it seemed they knew that the principal was away and so they attacked us." 

"I see. Why would humans attack each other when they have common enemies?" Nathan let out a long sigh. 

Alisha couldn't answer that question. Instead, she turned to Selena and the vampire. "Miss Selena and her familiar, I'd like to express my gratitude for helping me earlier."

"No. I didn't do anything." Selena shook her head. She glanced at Nathan. Never in her wildest dream would she imagine that a farmer, who was said to have worse talent than even the worst student, would be the one saving her. 

Even the vampire thought the same. If not for Nathan's instruction, they wouldn't achieve such a swift battle.

"What are we supposed to do now? Should we stay here until it's safe?" Nathan asked.

"That's probably for the best." Alisha agreed. "If you don't mind, please come with me."

Nathan nodded as he dragged his body up. He wished to lay down on his bed to get some rest. He simply had experienced so much before he could have a peaceful time to sort of his thoughts after this transmigration. 

Alisha guided them along with the other two girls to the school building, which was the safe place. After that, she politely bowed to them before leading Nathan to the empty cafeteria.

While walking, she couldn't help but say, "Good work."

"I was simply desperate." Nathan shook his head helplessly. He didn't have time to prepare for his first battle, so the aftermath was quite a surprise even for him. 

"No. I mean, good work for holding out." Alisha brought him a cup of water. "It's fine now if you want to let it out."

"Ah!" Nathan was embarrassed. "I'm fine now." 

"Fufu." Alisha smiled gently, assuring him that it was fine. After confirming that Nathan felt relaxed, she turned to Fenrir. "You are a powerful wolf. How come you only have basic quality?"

"Isn't it because he is too weak?" Fenrir harrumphed, blaming Nathan for everything that happened. 

"What did you say?" Nathan glared at him. If his talent was to summon a divine being, it meant that he could summon a goddess instead of getting stuck with a furry. "You are blaming everything on me when you're the one who is unreliable?"

"Say what? You wouldn't be here if I didn't protect you earlier!"

"Everything went according to my plan! And you merely followed it!" 

"Give me back the rational human, not this annoying one!" Fenrir jumped to Nathan.

"Aaaahhh. This is human abuse!" 

"Fufu." Alisha couldn't help but chuckle watching their quarrel. Even though Fenrir was strong and intelligent, he still trusted his contractor and followed his plan. At the same time, Nathan might not be strong, but he was bold and smart enough to solve the problem. 

They looked so perfect as a duo in her eyes. 

"I'm sure that you both will get stronger." Alisha smiled. If she was just trying to be nice and cheer for him earlier, she definitely said it from the bottom of her heart this time. Their performances convinced her that they would reach a high level. 

"It seems that you are more capable than I thought, my dear student." Vivian's voice suddenly echoed. 

Nathan was startled while Alisha bowed to her. "Mistress."

"I was simply desperate." Nathan smiled wryly.

"Not many students could remain calm in your situation. Yet, you managed to view everything carefully and give instructions to solve the problem." Vivian summoned the old druid and said, "You should go back. He will accompany you guys."

There was a pair of red eyes staring at them from the corner of the hallway. She was none other than Selena.

Her curiosity got the better of her as she chose to follow them, never thinking that she would be finding such a sight.

'Isn't that the vice principal? The one who is known as the Forest Queen? What did she say earlier? Dear student? Is he the student of the Forest Queen? But how? If it's not his talent, does this mean he is smart enough that the Forest Queen takes him as her student?'
