Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"What’s the meaning of that?” Chloe asked. “What is your relationship with Ethan?”

When she saw Ethan kiss Lily’s cheek, she felt like something very important to her had been stolen away.

The handsome young man had done it so naturally, and Lily didn’t make any move to stop him from kissing her.

She had known Ethan most of her life, and she knew that he wouldn’t casually kiss a girl so easily.

Even she, who had been with him the longest in the academy, had only recently started kissing him, and that was only done to replenish his magic power.

So when she saw Ethan kissing Lily as if he had done it several times before, she felt an ache spreading inside her chest.

Lily, who also realized that she should have stopped Ethan from kissing her, sighed in her heart.

They had spent more than a year together, and she had done more than just kissing with the handsome young man. She had gotten so used to being intimate with him, that a simple peck on the cheek was nothing to her.

This was also Ethan’s line of thought, and kissing Lily had been ingrained in his subconscious mind for a very long time.

Simply put, this act was like a muscle memory for Ethan. His body would do this automatically if the right conditions were met.

Lily, who had also been accustomed to being kissed by her lover, forgot to raise her guard after returning to the academy.

Since the deed had already been done, it was time to do some damage control.

"I will tell you about it, but not here,” Lily said as she glanced at the three Assistants, who looked at them like Aunties waiting for juicy gossip.

Luna, who was standing beside Chloe, placed her hand on her best friend’s shoulder and shook her head.

Just like Chloe, she was also very surprised by what Ethan did earlier. However, unlike her, she understood that this act might not be as simple as it seemed.

Since Ethan and Lily entered the Nexus, they might have found themselves in a difficult situation, requiring the handsome young man to kiss the only witch who could give him magical powers.

Chloe also understood this. However, she was shocked enough to momentarily forget about this matter.

Nicole, who saw something very interesting, couldn’t help but smile.

She treated Lily as her one and true rival in the academy. When Lily was kissed by Ethan, she noticed that the former didn’t react negatively, proving that she didn’t mind being kissed by him.

Also, Nicole didn’t miss the fact that Lily’s expression softened considerably after Ethan kissed her.

This meant that his gesture was something she found endearing, which made the pink-haired beauty very curious about their relationship.

Emma, who was watching this from the side, smirked internally.

‘Now you know how I feel whenever I see you two together,’ Emma thought.

This was the same feeling that she experienced whenever she saw Ethan holding hands with Chloe.

Even now, she felt envious of the close relationship between the two cousins who weren’t related by blood.

When the three Assistants realized that the juicy gossip wouldn’t be spilled with them around, they decided to confront Lily and ask her personal questions like what she and Ethan had done while they were together.

Lily didn’t say anything and simply waited for Ethan to finish his examination. .c

It was one thing to explain everything to Chloe and Luna.

It was another to explain it to three random girls who had no relationship with her or Ethan. She couldn’t be bothered to answer these questions, especially since it could cause rumors to spread.

‘But I’m sure that even if I don’t see anything, rumors are going to spread,’ Lily thought. ‘Hah… Ethan and I need to have a proper talk about this later.’

Several minutes later, the door opened and Professor Galena appeared with Ethan following behind her.

"Aside from the scar on Ethan’s back, both of you are perfectly healthy,” Professor Galena said. “Ah… it’s nice to be young.”

This time, Ethan and Lily didn’t react and kept calm expressions on their faces.

After placing her glasses on the table, Professor Galena told the two teenagers to head to the Headmaster’s Office and report to him what exactly had happened to them.

Ethan and Lily had already seen this coming and were prepared for it.

Emma returned the young man’s clothes, and the latter thanked her before putting them on. When he was done, he and Lily left the infirmary to head to the Headmaster’s Office.

Of course, Chloe, Luna, Nicole, and Emma followed the two of them.

While they were walking down the hallways, they felt countless stares land on their body.

Ethan and Lily, who were used to this kind of attention, walked without showing any hint of anxiety on their faces.

It was at that moment that a familiar person, alongside his cronies, blocked their path.

"Well, well, well. If it isn’t Ethan,” Langston said with a smile. “I’m not going to lie to you. I wished you would remain trapped in the past. The mere thought of seeing you again in this academy makes my skin crawl. Filthy Dud, you don’t belong to this place.”

Ethan smiled. More than a year had passed since he last saw Langston. Back then, he was quite annoyed with this guy because of how arrogant and condescending he was.

Now that he was back, he surprisingly found Langston’s attempt to mock him quite cute.

"Nice to see you again, Langston,” Ethan replied as he lightly patted the Blonde boy’s shoulder. “See you later.”

Without another word, Ethan walked past the handsome young man, which surprised not only Langston and his cronies, but also the students of the academy who thought that there would be another magical duel between them.

They thought that Ethan would be offended by Langston’s provocation and immediately challenged him to a duel.

The way the blue-haired boy handled it was something they didn’t expect, and for some reason, they found it quite mature and attractive.

Lily, who saw this, chuckled internally.

Ethan had been through a lot in the Lands of Alastor.

If Langston’s childish taunts could trigger him, then everything that the Tide Bringer had gone through on his journey to the past would have been for naught.

I like this new Ethan,” Chloe muttered. “He’s so cool, and so manly.”

Luna nodded as she lightly pulled her best friend’s hand so that they wouldn’t be left behind.

She had also felt that Ethan was a little more mature than he was in the past.

Luna didn’t want to admit it, but the current Ethan was like a completely different person.

Not only had his hair grown long enough to reach his waist, but his steps were also firm and radiated confidence.

For some reason, she had the strong urge to sleep beside him like she did when she was having nightmares about the Wendigo.

She wondered how it would feel to be wrapped in his embrace, which she had dearly missed for nearly two months.

For now, Luna set this matter aside because she was still waiting for Lily’s explanation.

An explanation that would make Chloe and Luna speed up their plans, which had been put on hiatus when the handsome young man that they cared for had disappeared into the past.
