Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 3: The Power of Bullshit

Nathan entered the vice principal's room. Even he didn't expect to meet such a high-ranking person in this academy.

But more importantly, he was able to witness the person who took care of the academy, and she didn't disappoint.

The vice principal had a rather slender figure that was barely visible from the contour of the robe. Her eyes were filled with wisdom, giving a different type of charm. She gave a weird pressure that made Nathan feel a bit nervous.

Meanwhile, the vice principal took a glimpse of the animal that Jason was talking about, which made her even more curious.

"So you are student Nathan, the one who is said to summon an animal instead of a humanoid creature..." The vice principal squinted her eyes, giving a sense of oppression.

Nathan took a deep breath as if he were trying to calm his heart down. "Yes."

The vice principal showed his paper. "The reason I call you is regarding your answers. It seems that you have a rather unique perspective."

Nathan couldn't deny it since he came not from this world. Besides, his knowledge was limited as well. He had prepared a reply for this remark. "I didn't know much, so I just wrote things I could think of from all the knowledge I currently had. I was just desperate."

"Desperate, huh? Could I ask you some questions to verify this was your thought? I couldn't help but doubt because it felt like your answers came from someone who studied this field for more than twenty years."

"I understand." Nathan still showed a sign of nervousness. On the one hand, there wasn't any confirmation yet that he had been accepted. On the other hand, he had to act nervous since that was how a farmer would act if he met a high-ranking person.

"How about this first question? It doesn't seem that you don't have any basic knowledge about Ena." The vice principal came to him. "To have more than one summoned creature, you need to have more Ena."

The vice principal came with a candle and a knife. "This knife represents the amount of Ena that you have in your body. If you summon a creature, it's the same as sacrificing that amount of Ena forever so that the summoned creature can stay in this world for as long as you are alive."

The vice principal chopped off half of the candle in one go. "That's why the first summoned creature will be the most important because it can determine the amount of Ena in your body.

"I'm not saying that it's the end for you if you don't have a powerful summoned creature, but to increase Ena, you need resources. Without any background, you can only rely on yourself to get that resource.

"With a weak summoned creature, going for that resource is basically suicide.

"Anyway, the stronger the summoned creatures you summon, the more Ena you sacrifice. In other words, you need to increase your Ena a lot before summoning your second creature so that the one getting summoned will be stronger.

"The first question is asking about your thoughts about how much Ena you need to sacrifice. The other students in your class are giving estimates from 0.5 times of your original Ena to 100 times. However, your answer is making a generalization of the summoned creatures. Why do you think so?"

"!!!" Johan was quite surprised by the answer. If he were the student, he would give the same answer as other students.

Meanwhile, Nathan actually said, "I think that your explanation has just confirmed my answer."

"Hoh? Elaborate."

"If we need more Ena to summon a more powerful creature, it means that a certain creature requires a certain amount of Ena. If we can generalize the amount of Ena required to summon a certain creature, won't it give a higher chance for the summoner to call that creature?

"If that's the case, measuring Ena accurately will be very important, especially if it's in number. For example, if we buy a wooden spoon for one copper coin, we can buy silverware for one silver coin. The measurement of money is accurate, which reflects in quality," explained Nathan.

Meanwhile, his heart was beating rapidly as he was screaming inwardly, 'Hell yeah, I'm going to say every bit of rubbish I have in mind.'

However, it was actually pretty effective, judging from the vice principal's expression. Jason was behind him, so he couldn't see his stunned face.

"An accurate measurement device..." The vice principal looked down for a moment before she laughed. "Hahahaha!"

Nathan was confused about her reaction. Jason couldn't help but whisper, "The vice principal sets four questions based on her research. The first question is among them."

"Ah." Nathan understood why she laughed.

'This woman actually believed all the gibberishes he came up with?' Fenrir was dumbfounded as he remembered Nathan saying, 'We fake it until we make it.' He never thought it would be the case.

The vice principal decided to change her approach. She turned to Jason and said, "I'm done confirming it. Post the result."

"What about him?" Jason asked.

"He will enroll in this academy."

Jason nodded. Even he thought that if the other answers were similar to what he heard, it wouldn't be wrong for him to join. If he somehow didn't become a good summoner, his way of thinking might result in one or two major breakthroughs in this field. "I'll take care of it immediately."

"T-Thank you very much." Nathan hurriedly thanked her since this meant he could stay in a safe place for a while.

However, the vice principal had another surprise for him.

As soon as Jason exited the room, the vice principal walked to Nathan. "I'm the vice principal of this academy, Vivian Lorelei."

"I am Nathan."

She just smiled. While extending her hand, she asked, "Nathan. Do you want to be a student of mine?"

"Student?" Nathan looked shocked, wondering if this was a dream or not.

Even Fenrir couldn't contain his bewilderment. 'Did this guy just get her to protect him just from writing some bullshit?'
