Novel Full Chapter 65 Frustration (Bonus)
Chapter 65 Frustration (Bonus)
‘Damn it. This world is freaking too hard, Nathan cursed inwardly as he laid down on a grass field while staring at the blue sky.
Nathan knew nothing had gone according to plan this whole time. Whether it was when Raivan didn’t follow the script of an arrogant young master, or his father didn’t come for his life, or Anubis appearing instead of Sun Wukong, or even Selena interfering in the duel between him and Noelle, they all messed up his plan.
While Nathan made some joking remarks about them or even cursing them, he blamed
no one.
When Anubis appeared, he came up with a plan that utilized Anubis’ healing ability instead of Sun Wukong’s martial prowess. He created a strategy that drew out their unique potential.
He had done everything he could just to make everything work, yet he still failed.
If there was someone who was more frustrated than others, it was probably Nathan. Fenrir might have noticed that frustration, so he didn’t complain when Nathan asked for such a ridiculous request.
Anubis and Fenrir appeared next to him.
“It seems that it doesn’t work. You suck. Fenrir harrumphed, teasing Nathan. “What did you say?” Nathan’s eyebrows twitched as he couldn’t help but rise from the ground like he wanted to fight Fenrir. But it was clear Nathan cheered up a bit.
Anubis asked, “Summoner. Why are you not using your soul contract? If we use the soul contract to exchange our abilities, we could actually win against her. For example, if we sneakily exchanged that Deadly Claw with my bandages, we could surprise her. I can even be a bait for Fenrir to actually use my healing ability.”
“If it’s a life-and-death battle, I might do it. However, there are people watching that fight. Unless necessary, I don’t want to show that ability… at least for now.” Nathan shook his head.
Anubis nodded. “I can finally understand what kind of person you are. That’s why I shall trust your decision from now on.”
“Thank you.” Even though he lost, he still got Anubis’ recognition, which made him quite happy.
After a few minutes, Noelle visited him. To his surprise, the first thing she did was actually bow her head to Nathan.
“What are you doing? Please raise your head.” Nathan took a step back. He certainly couldn’t understand this person. On the one hand, she looked like she did everything by instinct. On the other hand, she acted rationally from time to time.
“I’d like to thank you and apologize at the same time.” Noelle paused for a moment. “I’d
fought you unfairly. Despite limiting myself to ten percent of my power, I still ended up using my spirit’s element to free my sword from the bandages. It was on impulse, but I had wronged you. For that, I’d like to apologize.”
Nathan frowned. “Can summoners actually use the same ability as our familiars?”
“Well, yes. Noelle scratched the back of her head. “Normally, you’ll learn about this in your second year, but I guess I can tell you a thing or two because you won’t recklessly attempt it.
“You are aware of the link between you and your familiar, right?” Noelle glanced at the two beasts next to him.
“I do.”
“Once you have more Ena, you will naturally realize that the link allows you to transfer your power to one another. It’s a complicated system that will take a few days if I have to explain everything.
“But to put it simply, you will probably need much more Ena before attempting it. The requirement to achieve it is also varied because it depends on your compatibility with such power.
“My flame, for example, I have to endure the scorching sensation during my entire second year before I’m able to use it. Well, I admit that I play too much with it, that I instinctively relied on it in our fight.
“For magic, you will probably need to learn the whole power system from the basics. Once you reach that level, it’s the same as slowing down your progress. Or you might even need to learn an entirely new language. You must remember the language that the divine spirit chanted to produce this place, right?
“The Frexia Academy has been compiling things that they have found to be compatible with most humans and will allow you to progress without slowing down.
“However, if you still wish to learn it, I suggest you get more Ena first.”
Nathan rubbed his chin as he fell into deep thought. He might be able to use Anubis’ power in the open, and no one would find it weird about it.
But to do it, he needed a lot of Ena. If he sacrificed his time for all that Ena instead of boosting Anubis and Fenrir’s power, it would also slow down his progress. As Noelle said, it was indeed a complex system.
“I see. Thank you for explaining it to me.”
Noelle nodded. “I’d like to thank you for showing me my weakness. I have been fighting my enemies head-on, but after fighting you, I notice that I have been too close-minded. “I thought using dirt to blind my opponent was the limit of a cheap trick I could do, but after fighting you, I realized it could allow you to fight an opponent much stronger than you.”
Nathan smiled wryly, not knowing whether it was a compliment or an insult. “Won’t y your
knight’s pride feel repugnant to cheap tricks?”
“Of course, there are limits to what extent I’d get to bring down my opponent. For example, I don’t want to poison my enemy. However, trash talking or tricks are not included. It’s just a variety of ways to utilize one’s ability”
“I see.”
Noelle raised her index finger. “Anyway, I’m planning to take on a mission of a Mature Class Symbiote. I hope you can go with me, Junior. If you have questions, you can ask me
at that time.”
“Sounds good. I’ll be learning a lot from you.”
“What is your name?”
“Nathan.”
“I am Noelle Flamante, I’ll pick you up in three days. Or do you need more time to
prepare?”
“No. That sounds good.”
“In that case, let us meet again in three days.” Noelle nodded, her serious expression melted into a smile, showing how happy she was Nathan accepted the request.
While watching Noelle leave, Nathan was impressed. Despite being that strong, Noelle
was ready to lower her head and learn new things.
“I guess losing is not too bad at all.”
“Don’t forget about that vampire girl. I feel like she is a crazy human.” Fenrir interjected
from behind.
Nathan couldn’t help but feel chills down his spine.
