“There are a lot of documents you need to handle right now.” ƒreewebɳovel.com
“But…” Selena rubbed her cheek, feeling troubled. She thought she could go with Nathan again this time, but it appeared she had no chance.
She wasn’t worried about Nathan’s safety, fully aware that he was strong enough to protect himself.
The biggest problem would be Sera. If she left, Nathan would be alone with Sera.
“Do you understand that your position is not just an empty position?” Flora was grinding her teeth, frustrated by Selena’s reaction.
She angrily turned to Nathan and said, “Nathan. Help me convince her. If she doesn’t do any work, her position as the student council’s vice president would be gone. Are you alright with this?”
Instead of other reactions, Nathan simply looked down, falling into deep thought.
Flora explained, “I have told you when you were still a part of the student council. As the student council, we are the ones handling all the internal and external stuff of the academy, including the connection to other academies, nobles, and various influences.
“As such, Selena’s role as the vice president is pretty important. In addition, she is currently a first-year student, which means there will be a lot of people who are curious about her. If we take advantage of this situation, Selena will be able to get various connections for herself, especially as a noble.
“In addition, her own family, the Ashton family, is currently in shambles due to their reputational backlash, so this is a perfect time to build up her own force.”
Nathan waved his hand as if he understood what she was saying. But before accepting or rejecting her, he couldn’t help but ask, “It’s only sorting the documents? Nothing else?”
“After handling the documents, Selena will have to handle a few cities, mostly governed by nobles, with Lovelia and Regynar.”
Selena looked at Nathan. It seemed no matter how hard she convinced them, the answer would remain the same. She had no other choice but to take care of her work.
And that was what Nathan thought as well. “Alright. I don’t really mind.”
Nathan turned to Selena, saying, “It will be fine. Sera and I should be able to handle all the current missions.”
Selena sighed. “Alright.”
“Good.” Flora felt relieved.
Nathan waved his hand. “Take care.”
Flora didn’t hesitate to drag her back to the student council.
Meanwhile, Nathan turned to Serafina while saying, “Since Selena won’t be with us on this mission, I’m just going to be blunt about this. We’ll be hunting down the organization like you’re supposed to do. However, this is going to be extremely dangerous.”
Sera nodded. “I’m prepared for it.”
“Alright. Our mission this time will be a joint mission. We’ll have to meet principal Sullivan to get their information. Also, I might ask you to do some questionable things, but you don’t have to worry. It’s not anything important that can change your life whatsoever.”
“Understood. Please don’t hesitate to give me an order. I will do my best to fulfill your expectations.”
“Alright. Let’s go to the principal then.”
It didn’t take too long for them to reach Sullivan’s office.
As soon as Nathan and Sera entered the room, Sullivan immediately grabbed a paper from his drawer and handed it to him. “This is the information you’re looking for.
“Among the eight people that you want me to investigate, three of them are practically out of reach. They are doing a mission or something and won’t be back for a while. Two of them are focusing on their training and research together with their teachers.

“The remaining three are quite unique.” Sullivan clasped his hands while looking away.
“Unique? What do you mean?”
“They are from the same group. And I have managed to use my connection to have one of the teachers in that academy make the pick a mission.”
“What kind of mission?” Nathan crossed his arms.
“Before I tell you the mission, why don’t you tell me why you’re chasing after them?” Sullivan asked.
Nathan raised a finger. “I suspect the enemies are operating them and inserting the alien in their dormant form, either inside their bodies or their familiars. What I’m planning to do is to confirm it.
“Since you have investigated them, then you should have seen the report about them finishing a mission longer than what a mission of that level needs.
“As a result, something might happen during their time. And because of the advance of the healing ability, we all know that operation scar can basically be removed. Hence, I’m planning to ‘kidnap’ them and check their bodies. If they’re fine, that’s fine. If they’re not, then it’s going to be complicated.”
Sullivan thought for a moment. “True. If this is proven, we’ll need to assume that other students are also infected and need to be dealt with.”
“Yes. Do you think it’s possible to clean them up secretly?”
“I don’t think so. After all, it’s safe to assume that they’re also aiming for other academies. It can only be cleaned up by a large-scale operation.”
Nathan sighed. “Nevertheless, I’m planning to check on them until we find a clue.”
“Fair enough.” Sullivan turned to Sera. “Now that I think about it, where is your little girl?”
“Flora took her to the student council.”
“Ah.” Sullivan nodded in understanding. “They’re planning to hold a big event involving several nobles. Hmm… Am I allowed to say this? Well, it’s you, so just don’t tell anyone about this.
“In a month, there will be a party we will conduct for all students. It happens every year, usually before the six-month immunity is up. This banquet is usually where you see a lot of summoners war among people, especially nobles. You know, their conflicts and stuff like that.
“So, it can’t be helped if she is busy.”
“I understand.” Nathan waved his hand as if it wasn’t a big deal. However, his mind was racing. ‘Are you serious? A banquet? That means I’m able to see Selena in a dress? Sera and the others too?’
“Anyway, this is your mission.” Sullivan chuckled while giving him the paper. He could certainly see through his mind.
