Chapter 389: Stunned Alavenya
The atmosphere of the school became festive. Nathan's names were mentioned almost everywhere. After all, he managed to beat the Dragon King's daughter.
Obviously, this matter had reached the Dragon King's ears.
"Hoh? This is interesting. To think that he can really win against my dear daughter."
"Sir… why do you look so happy? The young miss is getting beaten up for your sake…"
The Dragon King shook his head. "Well, he has fulfilled his promise. With her defeat, I hope Alavenya can grow kinder and stronger.

"Besides, this means she will also stay in the school until graduation. The school would definitely make her stronger.
"As long as she gets stronger, I don't mind the process as long as it doesn't cross the line. And he defeats her fair and square, so why should I be angry?
"Haiz. He is this strong when he is that young. If not for Vivian, I would have taken him for myself."
While the Dragon King was happy, Alavenya couldn't be any more sad.
"Ugh…" Alavenya woke up in the infirmary. Her body was completely fine, but her clothes were destroyed due to the last attack.
Nathan's voice echoed in her ears. "It seems you are awake. How do you feel?"
Alavenya was startled and turned her head around, finding Nathan sitting next to her bed.
Nathan immediately said, "Before you say anything, I will tell you two things. You're naked right now because of your last attack. And the nurse was the one doing it for you, so don't misunderstand and don't get up just to beat me."
Alavenya gritted her teeth and lifted up her quilt, realizing what he said was true. She wanted to say something but ended up taking a deep breath.
"What do you want? Do you just want to mock me?"
"Mock you? Why?" Nathan tilted his head in confusion.
"I have lost to you. After saying I would beat you multiple times, I couldn't fulfill it. Instead, it was me who got beaten by you. And it looked like you were the one healing me."
"Anubis did, but well…" Nathan crossed his arms. "I'm not here to provoke you or anything. As I said before, if you have fixed your anger issues, you should be able to remember everything I have. Even during the first engagement, you would have overpowered me if you kept your calm and saw through my explosive bullets.
"That's why I will help you solve that issue. Regarding your accommodation, I personally don't mind if we share the building. In the end, it has a lot of rooms and a courtyard. If you stay, it will be easier for me to help you in that regard.
"However, I know you will definitely say no, and I will respect your decision. Anyway, one hour a week should be fine. If we can't, then double the hour for the week after that.
"Last but not least, the mission. Because I'll be leaving for a few days after this, can we hold the mission after I'm back? So, like a week from now?"
Alavenya wanted to refute him, but she had lost that privilege. She was utterly humiliated in that fight. She gritted her teeth and said, "I will say no to the accommodation. I would rather stay alone in a small room than enjoy luxury with you."
"Hahaha. Figured."
"As for my issue, how can you be so sure I have such an issue?"
"Who knows?" Nathan shrugged. "I have received the payment from the Dragon King, so I will do it even if you refuse. I am a man of integrity."
Alavenya's eyebrows twitched. "Regarding the mission, I don't mind. I don't have any plans for the time being… We can talk about your help in detail during the mission."
Alavenya looked completely lost. After being beaten by Nathan, she couldn't help but wonder if what she was doing was right. In the end, she couldn't do anything to Nathan.
"Alright. Let's go on a mission in seven to ten days, depending on how fast I deal with my matters. And that's all…" Nathan stood up before politely lowering his head.
Alavenya was startled. Why would Nathan lower his head? "What are you doing?"
"Although the provocation is for the sake of the battle, it doesn't change the fact that I have said more than I should. For that, I have gone overboard and would like to apologize. I'm sorry."
Alavenya blinked her eyes multiple times. She was astounded. Nathan actually apologized and acknowledged his mistakes.
Looking at his calm demeanor showed how serious he was.
"That's why, if you wish to hold a grudge against me, I won't say anything." Nathan paused for a moment. "That's all. I will take my leave. The school nurse is getting a new uniform for you, so take it easy. While Anubis has healed you, you are still exhausted. Also, your familiars have been healed as well. In that case, see you in a few days. I'll give you the details of the mission."
Nathan didn't wait for her to respond. In fact, she was completely dumbfounded by how Nathan reacted.
He acted so mature earlier. It felt like she was the one being immature for not being able to keep her calm from the provocation. That was why Nathan mentioned her anger issue.
She looked at the door for some time as she recalled what he said.
She ended up gritting her teeth and covering her head with the quilt. "Why do you have to act that way? Just let me hate you."
The aftermath of the battle was huge. And this matter was especially huge for all factions, whether they were inside school or outside the school.
The Silent Night Tea Party and the Merchant Association had gathered their highest-ranking members.
Caroline glanced at the leader while saying, "We need an emergency meeting on the benefit that he will receive in order for him to enter this club. If we let the Merchant Association have him, we will lose the qualification once he becomes a second-year student."
Ricky slammed the table while saying in a strict tone. "Let's pour out our resources."
