Chapter 230: Crisis (Bonus)
"Come in!"
"Yes!"
The students turned their heads to the door as someone opened it.
They couldn't help but wonder who would be the transfer student, and it shocked them even more when they saw this person.
She was still wearing nun clothes, but it was more tighter than what they could see near the church, accentuating her curve. Her skirt was slit on both sides, which made her sexier.
Obviously, all of them knew who it was. Even Selena couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at Nathan with an intense glare, asking him one certain question.
Nathan gulped down as he wondered if he should explain this or not.
Meanwhile, other students were excited.
"What? We are actually able to be the classmate of the renown saintess?"
"The infamous corrupted saintess of the Holy Kingdom, Saintess Serafina!"
"She is not just a saintess. It is said that her talent is noticed by the pope. There's even a rumor about her being the pope's student."
"No way. She is actually coming to this academy."
"No wait. How in the world is Nathan able to make a connection with the Holy Kingdom?"
"Is it because of his teacher?"
The people had a lot of questions in their minds. Only several people were frowning their eyebrows.
It was true Serafina was beautiful. However, whether it was August, Rudeus, or high-class nobles in the class, they knew nothing good would come if they ended up with this corrupted saintess.
After all, there was also a rumor about her getting expelled from the church due to her summoning a fallen angel.
That was why it wouldn't be good to approach her.
Serafina entered the classroom with a smile. As soon as she reached Jason's spot, Jason said, "How about introducing yourself?"
Sera nodded. "Hello, everyone. I am the representative of the Holy Kingdom. My name is Serafina. Please, no need to be formal to me because I'm now a student like you.
"I have come to this school for three reasons. The first is to uphold my duty as a saintess. The second reason is to be the messenger of the Holy Kingdom regarding the recent terrorist act. Last but not least, it's because I have a debt to pay."
"A debt?"
"The saintess has a debt?"
"Who is actually lending their money to the saintess?"
"It's obviously not a loan. There's no way the Holy Kingdom will have that kind of debt."
"In that case, who is that bastard?"
The students were gnashing their teeth as if they wanted to skin this person alive.
After that, Serafina turned to Nathan and waved her hand with a big smile on her face. "Hello, Savior. I've finally met you again. Because of you allowing me to summon a Valkyrie, I'm able to keep my status as the saintess. Thank you so much and please allow me to repay you this time."
"!!!" All the students turned their heads and glared at Nathan. What did he actually do? Did he save the saintess? How in the world did they actually meet?
Still, the most painful glare came from the pair of eyes next to him. Selena was definitely angry. If they weren't in the class, he didn't know what kind of thing Selena would do.
After all, they had just become a couple a few days ago. And Nathan had ended up with a scandal before they even did anything special.
'How in the world does a harem protagonist actually survive in their world? I feel like I'm going to die at any moment.'
Whether it was Fenrir, Anubis, or even the elder he encountered in the desert, all of them had mentioned that he would die because of women sooner or later.
Only this time, he finally understood those words.
'What bad timing,' Nathan thought. If this was one month later, Selena wouldn't have been this angry.
"Do you know him?" Jason asked.
"Yes. He saved me. He even gave me such a precious thing. I believe he would be the only person in this world that could understand me." Sera confirmed it.
And those words even made Selena angrier.
'For fuck's sake. Can you stop talking for a moment?' Nathan was in the middle of a crisis. 'What precious thing? I only gave you the holy relic because I thought helping you was the quest. Understand you? I don't even know what you're talking about!'
"Well, I have to remind you that you're not allowed to help him with the current competition. If it's found out, he will be disqualified."
"I understand." Sera nodded.
"Anyway, you can take any empty seats." Jason couldn't care less about their relationship. It wasn't rare that they would find their spouse in the academy.
After all, if both parents were summoners, their child had a higher chance of becoming a summoner.
Nathan was special. His bloodline carried the potential of a beast summoner. If his bloodline spread, it would be good for the world.
With Jason's permission, Sera walked to Nathan. Since each table was shared by three people, Sera smiled at Nathan and just took the seat next to him.
The others were glaring at him while muttering, their voices filled with grudges. "How can he be so lucky?"
"The fact that she is able to do all this must be because she has the pope's permission."
"What? This has been approved by the pope himself?"
"This lucky bastard. Selena aside, how can I even meet her?"
"I'm jealous. I hope he dies."
The last remark might happen soon because Selena had completely broken down. Her eyes had started emitting killing intent.
Meanwhile, Sera remained silent. She didn't even ask for Nathan's permission to sit here, fully aware that Selena would disagree.
They could somehow feel the battle between the two women. It was as if there was a monster on top of Selena, exuding red mist and bloodlust. On the other hand, Serafina kept smiling, radiating such a blinding light.
Nathan took a deep breath. This might not even be the pope's idea. If he had to think of the possible culprit, it would be either her fallen angel or Brunhild.
