Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

"You're dead!" Nidhogg slapped Fenrir with his tail as the three of them were planning to fight.

Nathan casually ignored them as he walked to the Dragon King, implying that he would receive his training now that the summoning ritual had finished.

"Are you sure you don't need to stop them?" The Dragon King asked.

"It's fine." Nathan shrugged. "They are smart, so they know when to stop."

The Dragon King let out a long sigh and said, "Alright then. Let's start with ten laps around the mountain. You can't use your Ena to enhance your body."

Nathan thought for a moment before asking, "There is something I'm confused about. We have to make our body stronger, right? But from what I can see, there are a lot of summoners who don't have a muscular body."

The Dragon King nodded and picked up the stick on the ground and started drawing a sketch of a human body. "There are three ways to strengthen your body. The first one is physical training, like what we're about to do.

"However, not a lot of people want to do it the hard way. In fact, a lot of female summoners want to retain their elegant appearance, which is understandable.

"As a result, the second method is born, which is through potion and herbs. It can be through medicinal baths, herbal drinks, or even potions. Not all the potions are for the familiars after all. Of course, male summoners are also using this method either to supplement the first method or because they don't want to get tired.

"The last method is much more expensive and time consuming. After all, it will involve your familiar. Basically, you are using the method from another world."

"Is that similar to when we're trying to get their element or learn their magic?" Nathan asked.

"Yes, it is similar. Each familiar usually has a different method, so there's no correct method at the moment."

Nathan nodded. "I see. In the end, they still need to get stronger, right?"

"Yes. If you don't, you won't be able to absorb higher level cores." The Dragon King nodded.

"Alright." Nathan started taking off his blazer before he noticed Selena already did the same. She had even tied her hair into a ponytail as if she were planning to run together with him. "Selena?"

"I just want to train my body. For some reason, our training is the same." Selena shrugged.

"Pfft!" The Dragon King laughed. He promised Nathan that he would teach him, but not Selena. She chose to bypass it by following the training. The Dragon King said, "If not for the fact that we have different fighting styles, I would probably take you as my disciple… especially after this guy rejects me."

"What? How can you blame me for this?"

"All I can say is that you are talented enough. I have seen the way you train with your Ena. It's only for a brief moment, but I understand what kind of talent you have. That's why I'm going to say this. If there are any teachers who would like to accept you as their students, reject them."

Nathan frowned. "Why? It's nice to have a teacher since you can get resources and connections."

"It's because they're not worthy. If I remember correctly, there will be a survival test for you guys pretty soon. After that event, if that person, who is not a teacher, doesn't take you as his disciple, then you can accept regular teachers as your master."

Nathan contemplated, wondering if there were any other figures besides the principal and the vice principal. The Frexia Academy was big, so they had a lot of connections. It seemed that there were a few powerful figures that remained hidden in the Frexia Academy.

"I understand. Thank you very much." Selena nodded.

"But don't be too complacent just because I say you're talented."

"How can I be too complacent…" Selena glanced at Nathan as if saying, '…when I have to compare myself to him.'

Selena squinted her eyes, muttering inwardly, 'His beasts should be pretty strong. The fact they know the vampire progenitor and others means they must be divine beasts who are sealing their power. And that new dragon has just proven that assumption.

'He might have trouble absorbing the cores, but he has never given up and somehow caught up to all of us. That's why I have to at least do the same to not get left behind.'

The Dragon King nodded. "Alright. You both can go together. It doesn't matter how long it takes for you, but you have to circle that mountain ten times. No Ena."

Both of them nodded. Nathan smiled at Selena. "Let's go."

Selena nodded and started running. Their summons had no other choice but to return, leaving the Dragon King and the Draconian behind.

The Dragon King glanced at his partner and asked, "What do you think?"

"The dragon is the real deal. I feel like it's even stronger than the dragon that blesses my tribe."

"Huh? Stronger? Isn't your dragon already one of the strongest beings in your world?"

The draconian nodded. "Yes. If it's really stronger, that dragon is equal to a divine being. It can probably even rival gods."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. From what I can feel, its power is vastly different from what I have seen. That dragon is like the incarnation of chaos."

"What about the other two?"

"Unfortunately, I can't sense their true power."

The Dragon King crossed his arms. "However, that fox seems to know the dragon. And since he is daring enough to hit him, they must be equal. The jackal doesn't look like he knows them, but he is competing with them."

"Yes. I'm afraid that all of them are beasts of the same rank. If that's the case, that young man might only summon beasts of that rank, which makes him dangerous, especially with how he is bold enough to scam you in the open."

"True." The Dragon King smirked. "The boy who summons divine beasts and the talented girl who uses that knowledge to summon new species… I just hope they can grow stronger."

"Are you worried about it?"

"Yes. The world is in turmoil. A few days ago, I received information regarding beings above elite class symbiotes. They might exist deep within the alien territory. We, humans, might have to deal with them in the future. Other kingdoms and organizations are discussing how we should proceed."

"Is that the real reason you send your daughter to the Frexia Academy?"

"It can't be helped. I just hope the academy can stimulate her growth."
