“What?”
“Why do we get a new principal?”
“What is happening? Why is the principal leaving? Although the former principal was a strict man, he was a good educator.”
“On the other hand, Sullivan Flamante is Noelle Flamante’s grandfather, right? Are they going to dominate the school?”
“This will be troublesome, no? Daddy’s power!”
“Indeed. What will happen after this? Is there something they’re hiding from us?”
The students were confused. They expressed their own opinions and speculations about this matter in the hall.
They couldn’t help but talk about it, especially since Axel was caught several days ago. They ended up linking it to the principal as if the latter helped Axel with that problem.
To stop them from spreading the misinformation, the first thing Sullivan did after coming to the academy was gather them in this hall.
Sullivan took the stage, showing his robust aura that made people instinctively fear him.
Sullivan said, “I know you have a lot to say regarding me being the replacement. However, I want to clear up three things.
“First of all, the reason I replaced the former principal is that of the action of the Frexia Academy. To capture, interrogate, and even eliminate the terrorist organization, I am a more suitable person than Leyfon.
“The second thing I want you to know is that I don’t have any plans to make a huge change in this academy through my status as the new principal. In other words, everything will proceed the same as if there is no change in the principal. That includes the student council. Even if my granddaughter is in the student council, I will treat her like any other student.
“Last but not least, I’ll be announcing the result of the interrogation. First of all, the Terrorist Organization’s name is Mad Coffin.
“Unfortunately, there’s no way for us to find out how they operate or how to identify them right now.
“But we know one thing. The academy has been freed from all the spies, so you don’t have to worry. We’ll update you on any progress we have made.
“If you have any questions, you may inquire about it from teachers or other people. And the war is still going on. If you meet anyone who is confirmed to be a member of the Mad Coffin, they’re to be captured or executed immediately.
“But don’t use this as an excuse to do your wanton killing. If you’re found to abuse this privilege to kill someone innocent, you will be judged by the academy’s law and might possibly be brought to the martial court.
“That’s all I have to say. Once again, I’m Sullivan Flamante. You might know me as the sword saint, but I’m just a normal person like all of you. I hope you’re able to continue improving in this academy.”
His speech had cleared up their doubts, but the way Sullivan delivered the message was definitely different from the former principal.
Leyfon usually told them while inciting their excitement and rage. Meanwhile, Sullivan’s strict tone and deep voice created tension in the hall, which scared them.
Still, Sullivan didn’t care much about how they thought about him.
Instead, he immediately called Nathan, Selena, and Vivian to his office right after the speech.
“Oi, oi. Abusing your privilege already? Calling us right after replacing that old fighter,” Vivian complained jokingly.
“Hahaha.” Sullivan scratched the back of his head. “Of course not. Before I was asked to replace Leyfon, I was in charge of the secret investigation of this terrorist organization.
“According to the researcher, they were experimenting with aliens. It wasn’t necessarily the combination of human and alien. It can be the combination of aliens with everything like familiars, plants, or other things.

“It is as if they’re planning to create a perfect alien that will become a perfect imitation. And the ones that will be targeted first…” Sullivan didn’t continue, but his gaze fell upon Nathan and Selena.
Nathan had beasts as his familiar, which was unique and might be the key to a breakthrough of whatever they’re doing. Selena had a lot of new races that might help them with their research.
It could be said they were the most juicy targets.
Nathan raised one finger. “We might be, but we are sure that they’re targeting other academies as well.”
“Ho?” Sullivan didn’t know where that information came from, but if it was true, the situation had just become much more complicated. “They are targeting all summoners. No, maybe the students? Is it because they are young? Is it because they are weak and easy to capture?”
Sullivan fell into deep thought, considering all kinds of possibilities.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. We’ll be going on a vacation anyway, so we will just leave this matter for a while.” freewebnoveℓ.com
“A vacation?” Sullivan’s eyebrows twitched, wondering if they knew about how dangerous it was for them to leave the academy.
“They’ll be staying in Meyes City. I have a villa over there, so it should be pretty safe.”
“Meyes City…” That name seemed to ring a bell in Sullivan’s heart. “Now that I think about it, there’s something strange happening in Meyes City.”
Nathan’s expression darkened. ‘My shitty luck.’
“Do you want us to take care of that problem?” Selena asked while frowning. She wanted to enjoy the vacation with Nathan instead of taking care of a complicated problem.
“That’s probably good, but I’m afraid they’re going to be quite strong. I think I should send some students with you. Let’s see, Flora and Noelle should be enough as reinforcements. Considering you’re the ones catching the culprit, you can use them as your pawn to deal with the problem. What do you think, Nathan?”
Selena clenched her fists. She wanted to reject it. There was no way she would have another woman joining them on their vacation. In fact, Selena had been treating it as their honeymoon since this would probably be the last time they could spend time together alone after she considered Nathan’s personality.
At the same time, she couldn’t reject it. If her selfishness ended up endangering them, she would feel so guilty that she couldn’t face Nathan anymore.
But this was where Nathan smiled. “Ah! You don’t have to worry about that. Selena and I will be enough.”
“!!!” Selena widened her eyes and looked at Nathan with a perplexed face. Nathan only winked his eye playfully, as if telling her that no one would disturb them. Selena looked down. Her face was red, as she had a hard time containing her smile.
“Are you sure?”
“Yep.” Nathan nodded, adding inwardly, ‘Besides, I can use the Sleeping Garden secretly. They’re stronger than Flora and Noelle. So there’s no need for them. This bro is finally going to graduate on this trip, so don’t you dare to interrupt it.’
Or so what Nathan thought. One person definitely did not think the same thing.
