The teacher was standing in front of the vice principal of the school while sweating. For some reason, the vice principal had been staring at a single paper for the last twenty minutes.
She was so absorbed that he felt something crazy would happen if he distracted her.
After another ten minutes, she raised her head, asking, "Johan. Who is this kid?"
"May I know who you're speaking of, vice principal?"
"This student called Nathan."
The teacher raised his eyebrows in surprise. "He is a farmer from the countryside. His body has a trace of Ena, so the one who spots him brings him to the capital city to take the test in the academy."
"A farmer? You seem to know him. I don't see you looking at the student's details." The way Johan spoke piqued her interest.
"He made a quite big impact after all… not in a good way though."
"Hoh? What did he do?"
"He summoned an animal." The teacher looked away. Even he didn't know how to react when he saw an animal coming out.
"An animal? As in my original summon?"
The vice principal became even more curious. "Bring him to see me."
The teacher looked shocked. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of trick that student used to pique the vice principal's curiosity. At the same time, he had to ask about the fate of the other students.
"How about the other students? This year, we have a few interesting students this time. From the most renowned family in vampire creatures, the princess of Duke Ashton, Selena Ashton.
"The successor of the Blacksmith Guild, August Reeves. The Second Prince of the Liaystian Kingdom, known for his high Ena, Rudeus Viti Liaystian."
The vice principal snapped her fingers. All of a sudden, an elf appeared next to her. She had long silver hair and a similar outfit as the vice principal as though she had gotten used to living in this world.
"Give me a second." She smiled. She scanned the papers of all students and started giving points to each of them. It didn't take more than five minutes to grade all the students. "I'm done."
"No worries. Call me anytime." She winked before disappearing into thin air.
"Here you go." The vice principal handed the paper to Johan. "This is the grade. However, wait until I meet this kid."
"Is there something wrong with this kid?"
"Mhmm. I will have a talk with him first before deciding whether to let him remain as a normal farmer or not."
The decision baffled him, but he had no choice but to agree. "I understand. I'll bring him to you."
Meanwhile, Nathan was sitting on a bench, away from other students. Fenrir was sitting next to him.
"So, do you think you can get enrolled here?" Fenrir asked.
"I don't know. I've done my best, but I don't know if it will work or not." Nathan shrugged. "I wonder what kind of work we can do outside. Does this world have an adventurer guild? That's the starting pack of an isekai."
"Ise—what? Your words confused me."
"Well, just think of it being summoned to another world by a god or goddesses."
"I wonder how strong they are. Can I fight them?"
"Now that I think about it, I can't help but wonder what kind of knowledge you have in your head. For example, do you know that you are only one legend among many others?"
"Do you mean there are other divine beasts and gods and goddesses?" Fenrir's eyes brightened.
"Why do you look like you want to fight them?" Nathan's eyebrows twitched. "Besides, I want to summon another one. Preferably a woman!"
"What if you end up summoning another divine bea—Mmff!" Fenrir widened his eyes as his mouth was shut by two fingers.
"Shut up! Don't you jinx it, stupid dog!" Nathan glared at him.
Fenrir slipped away from him and bit his hand. "How dare you stop me from speaking, you horny brat! Besides, I'm a wolf!"
"Aaaaaggghhh! It's human abuse!" Nathan was struggling to break free. Despite his anger, the bite wasn't that powerful. It seemed that Fenrir controlled his strength well. That was why he was also acting casually toward him.
While they were arguing, Nathan couldn't help but catch a glimpse of the female student seated next to him earlier.
"What?" Fenrir stopped for a second before getting annoyed again. "I thought, what could catch your attention? It turned out to be a woman. Are you going to confess to her right away?"
"Flat rejection is what I'll get. Besides, look at her."
"What? I can't see anything different between her and other females."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just look at her cold and aloof atmosphere, her beautiful appearance, and her indifference toward others, this girl has a heroine quality."
"You always talk as if we are inside a book. Have you ever imagined yourself getting injured or getting one of your limbs chopped off? This is your reality right now. Staying in this academy means that you will experience a lot of hardships."
"I know that." Nathan's expression turned solemn. "I can't even hold the pain of getting hit in the shin or having your pinky toe bump against a bed's front leg, so I can't imagine what it feels like to get cut or shot. That's why I want to stay in this academy, learning more about it step by step so that I can survive in this world."
"Hmph. You are pretty reasonable if we get rid of that annoying side of yours. Just get stronger. If you are strong enough, you can get any woman you want." Fenrir harrumphed.
"Right? Isn't that the main driving factor? It's said that if you have a driving factor, you can improve much faster."
Looking at Nathan's smug face made Fenrir want to bite him again. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance as the teacher actually came to him.
"Student Nathan. Please follow me to talk about your admission."
Nathan and Fenrir couldn't help but smile inwardly. They knew that the fish had taken the bait.
