Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 39: Survive

Fenrir's movement was swift and deadly. His nickname as the monstrous wolf was not empty at all. Trampling mere aliens was nothing but an easy task.

"So what are we supposed to do here?" Nathan asked several minutes later after all the aliens had been defeated.

Selena shook her head. "We didn't do much, so you should get all the cores."

"What are you talking about? If not for your help, we wouldn't be able to kill that juvenile class. We'll go with the original plan. I get the juvenile class core while you get the proto-class cores."

"No." Selena harrumphed.

Nathan's eyebrows twitched.

Before he could speak again, Selena already turned around while saying, "Let's go, Risa. I'll be heading in this direction."

"Oi!" Nathan tried to call her, but the latter simply ignored him.

"Pfft." Fenrir chuckled.

"Funny?" Nathan glared at Fenrir.

"Why don't you just accept her charity?" Fenrir grinned. "She is probably feeling bad because she has taken advantage of you."

"You are the cause."

"Me? Impossible. I'm the great Fenrir. I don't need charity."

"Tell me then... How much Ena do you have left right now? How long do you need to recover?"

"..." Fenrir's expression darkened as if Nathan's questions had just struck him in the heart. He wanted to say, 'I can still fight with my physical abilities,' but that would just be him admitting Nathan was right. It had been a while since he last fought this much, so he got a little bit excited and forgot about holding back.

Selena gave away all the cores simply because Nathan and Fenrir would have to take a few hours rest so that Fenrir could recover. On the other hand, Selena and Risa hadn't used much of their Ena during the whole fight since they were there to become a distraction for the proto-class aliens, not to kill them.

"So, tell me, O' mighty Fenrir? Do you have any excuses?"

"This great Fenrir will peel off the core of those aliens first." Fenrir harrumphed and ran away.

Nathan's eyebrows twitched, but there was nothing he could do other than sigh.

A few minutes later, Fenrir came back with the core of the juvenile class alien. Unlike the proto-class core, this one had a pale purple color. The size was slightly bigger, but there was not much of a difference.

"This is the core?"

"Yeah. I can feel more Ena contained inside it." Fenrir nodded. "Anyway, we've got a lot of things to do today. Let me recover my Ena before going. We will have to get the top five spots for this competition."

"I know that." Nathan nodded.

The others were also searching for cores to the best of their abilities. They hunted as many aliens as possible since their future is riding in it.

Now that Selena had recovered from her exhausted state, her hunting speed increased. In fact, her hunting speed might even be faster than August or Rudeus.

However, August wasn't a pushover either. If there was someone who did something unique in this test, it would be August.

In the middle of the forest, there was actually an open space with a building inside. The area was protected by simple fences, and the buildings might be made of dirt, but this house was like a civilization in a forest.

No one had a better living standard than August in this forest.

On the other hand, Rudeus walked a different path than August. He walked the path of a conqueror as numerous crushed corpses were left behind whenever he moved.

The teachers who had been observing them the whole time couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that there is a big gap between the top students and the bottom students this year."

"Indeed." The teacher glanced in the village direction, remembering what the students were doing in the village.

"Nevertheless, they will understand that they can't take this failure easily when the summoning ritual arrives."

"This is the last day anyway, so they will understand it..." Jason squinted his eyes as he said with an angry tone, "I'll definitely let them know about it."

The other teachers looked away, knowing what Jason would say once they went back.

"Still, I think no one has killed more than Prince Rudeus, right?"

"That I agree... but we can't underestimate August. His condition remains at its peak, and he is able to fight alongside his familiar. In terms of individual prowess, August is the best among them."

"Still, the most unexpected factor is..."

Even without finishing it, all teachers had a tacit understanding.

"Yeah. The beast summoner, Nathan. Not only has he found the hidden part of the test, but he has also done much better than the others. While his beast can't be compared to Prince Rudeus' cyclops and his individual strength is much weaker than August, his ranking should be pretty high."

"We can't ignore the fact that he is also helping Selena. Thanks to him, she is able to get a quite good position as well. No, looking at this rate, I don't know who will have a higher score between Selena and Nathan."

"But he has killed the juvenile class alien."

"We can only wait for the result. Besides, no one can guarantee their positions. They have to continue killing the aliens. They can only relax after the time is up."

"Well, there are also a lot of students doing well right now. After adapting to their current situation, they do much better."

"Indeed."

The teachers monitored the last day of the trip closely. There were students who barely survived the seven-day trip, but most of the survivors managed to adapt and live much better than they originally thought.

Once the sun was about to set, the teachers summoned their familiars and started picking up the students before returning to the village.

Out of 86 students, 34 students managed to survive for seven days, which gave them an additional 1,000 points.

It could be said that the main deciding factor that separated the whole class was this surviving point. The school wanted to teach them that a dead summoner was a bad summoner.

And the score for the trip was as follows...
