“So, what do you want to talk about? It’s rare for you to suddenly come to me.” Sullivan crossed his arms while squinting his eyes. “From the looks of it, you are planning something big.”
Nathan chuckled. “Planning something big? I don’t dare.”
“Heh? Do you think I haven’t heard what you do to the Dragon King? Well, after taking this post, the Dragon King came to me and told me about Alavenya’s situation. I never thought that to bring his daughter to this school, you would end up scamming the Dragon King.
“What are you going to do with the challenge? It looks like you’re going to fight her after the six-month immunity is up. Even though she is only a second year, she is extremely strong, you know.”
“I know.” Nathan nodded. “Well, how about sponsoring me? If you sponsor me, I can win.”
“Are you coming here to ask me to sponsor you?”
“Of course not. But since you told me about it, please also keep that in mind.” Nathan smirked.
“Pfft! Hahahaha!” Sullivan laughed out loud. “You are the boldest youngster I have seen in ages. Not only the Dragon King but also me, huh? Well, even the Sage has told me to be wary of you. Do you know he has been calling you ‘little devil’ behind your back?”
“Eh? How can he do that? I have been the personification of innocence!” Nathan shamelessly lied, without batting an eye.
Sullivan became even more amused. “Still, business is business. How about we go to the topic right now?”
“That’s fine with me.” Nathan nodded. “I have captured the person who is involved with that organization.”

“!!!” Sullivan stood up. “Where is he?”
“Unfortunately, I can’t give him to you because I plan to interrogate him myself.”
Sullivan frowned. “Are you serious? Do you know the significance of that person?”
“It’s because I know that I’m telling you I can’t give it to you. I believe I can get more information than you.” Nathan’s expression was solemn, showing that he believed everything he said.
Sullivan crossed his arms. “So…”
“I will explain it from the beginning.” Nathan started recounting everything from the enemy to what happened to the demon.
Sullivan widened his eyes after listening to the story.
“A demon turning into an alien mid-fight…” Sullivan tapped the table a few times, contemplating.
“Yes. From the way I can see it, it seems the alien was planted before the fight. And he used it to threaten the demon.
“Dikkleus was unable to do this because he thought he couldn’t threaten the familiar, but this guy had just made an improvement and used the alien to threaten them.
“A normal familiar had their unique ability, which allowed them to be more versatile and useful than when they turned into an alien, even if it meant they became stronger.
“And if we think about this, they might have used their aliens to threaten all their familiars and even used it against others.”
Sullivan crossed his arms. “Do you know that three hundred years ago, there was an upheaval? It was so big that the world was trembling in fear.
“In the past, people were abusing their familiars in one way or another. There were people who used them as sex workers, slaves, or anything.
“The condition was so awful, especially with the hierarchy we had. You should know how nobles acted, right?
“As a result, one man led a rebellion that shook the entire world. He was later known as the symbol of liberation.
“He was also a good thinker, which ended up changing the way we chanted in our summoning ritual. His life was dedicated to liberation, which allowed the current relationship between humans and familiars.
“That’s why we’re unable to hurt them or exploit them like that anymore and the way we see familiars has changed since then.
“And the way they’re threatening the familiars right now… it’s similar to back then.” Sullivan sighed.
“Yes. That’s why I’m thinking about trading the aliens they used to threaten the familiars.”
“Hmm. 2 aliens who have matured and 1 alien who hasn’t, huh? That will definitely be a good thing for us. If we can know everything about the aliens, we will be able to stop them or find them. What do you want?”
Nathan raised two fingers. “I want cores.”
“Cores and…”
“And your support. I believe there is a joint mission between two academies, right?” freewebnσvel.cm
“Yes. There are missions that allow the students from two academies to work together.”
“I suspect they have been kidnapped and operated on without them realizing it. I hope this is just a fear of mine, but if this ends up to be true…”
Sullivan’s expression turned cold. “The damage will be severe.”
“Yes. I have a list of names. I want your help to locate them, or at least help me with your connection to influence them to take on a joint mission without raising their suspicion.”
Sullivan rubbed his forehead before nodding. “I can probably do that with my power.”
“Is that all you want?”
“Yes. But the cores for the aliens need to be mature class cores.”
“Mature class cores? For who?” Sullivan narrowed his eyes, suspecting Nathan wanted it for the organization behind him.
However, he pointed at himself. “I have thousands of cores, so it’s hard to swallow them all. If I have higher class cores, I can swallow them at a much faster speed.”
“Oh! Understandable. I guess I can give you… hmm, 6 cores?”
“Is your ‘support’ included?”
“You really… greedy little goblin.” Sullivan chuckled. “No. If you want her to stay, why don’t you ask the Dragon King’s support? You have to beat her if you want her to stay, no?”
“Why don’t we just have you support me and make the Dragon King owe you this favor? Isn’t it better?”
“Why are you helping me? Don’t tell me. You have agreed to enter my household?” Sullivan smirked. “If you say yes, I will immediately add ‘Flamante’ in your name.”
“Of course not. I have my own plan. Besides, helping you is a good thing for me, but I hope you don’t misunderstand it. I’m not sucking up to you or anything.”
‘This guy is really… I feel like he knows how people behave. It’s as if he has seen hundreds of people of the same types.’ Sullivan thought for a moment. ‘If I want to catch him by surprise, what should I do? No, wait. There’s something I can do.’
With a sly grin on his face, Sullivan said, “Nathan. Since you are fighting a second-year student after six months, why don’t you fight a third-year student after 12 months?”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Nathan tilted his head in confusion.
“I’m talking about fighting my granddaughter, Noelle, in the Summoners War before her graduation. If you do it, I will support you.”
