Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 378: It’s Like We’re A Match Made In Heaven

"Let me get this straight.” Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose before looking at the young lady who was seated beside him. “You transferred to the academy after getting an invitation from Professor Rinehart. Not only that, but he also agreed to let you stay in Dud Manor during your time here.”

Lilian nodded.

"You do realize that you just got poached from Nightfall Academy?” Ethan asked.

"Yes,” Lilian replied. “They gave me an offer that was too hard to refuse.”

What kind of offer was that?”

"I’m sorry, Sir Ethan. Professor Rinehart made me sign a Magical Non-Disclosure Agreement. I can’t tell you even if I want to.” Lilian then blushed before averting her gaze.

Lilian’s reaction only made the young man all the more interested in what kind of offer she got, which persuaded her to transfer to Brynhildr Academy.

‘Aww, come on, Ethan,’ Sebastian commented from inside his Sea of Consciousness. ‘This development isn’t that bad, you know?’

‘Right,’ Ethan’s Other Half agreed. ‘Since Lilian has already made her feelings known to you, you should reciprocate it well. Being in the same Manor also helps, don’t you think?’

Ethan sighed. ‘Look, the two of you don’t understand. Do you think Cedric would have allowed his sister to transfer here alone? Knowing him, he will also use this opportunity to transfer to the academy to try to get close to Luna.’

You do have a point.’

Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half had forgotten about this, but truth be told, this was also part of Professor Rinehart’s and Professor Barret’s plan.

Why settle for one person, when you can get two at the same time?

The Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy was one of the slyest people in Eastshire, and he was always looking for talented individuals to help bolster Brynhildr Academy’s Prestige.

After seeing Ethan’s and Cedric’s battle, they already knew how powerful Cedric was.

If he were to come to Brynhildr Academy of his own accord, then it was good.

If not, they just had to wait until the current year was over.

They wouldn’t be surprised to find him applying for Brynhildr Academy at the start of the new school year.

‘What a sly Headmaster,’ Sebastian said.

‘Indeed.’ Ethan’s Other Half nodded. ‘I like!’

Sebastian then chuckled. ‘It doesn’t matter if Cedric comes sooner or later. What you need to do is seal the deal with Lilian before he arrives at Brynhildr Academy.’

‘Well, you know what they say. You cannot uncook cooked rice,’ Ethan’s Other Half stated. ‘So start cooking.’

The young man decided to stop listening to the two bastards inside his head. He then focused his attention on the young lady, who had come all the way from Nightfall Academy to be with him.

Frankly, Ethan was touched by Lilian’s determination, and for better or worse, he had already accepted the possibility of the two of them becoming lovers.

Right now, both of their Legacies were in limbo.

Lilian couldn’t fully unlock the power of her Legacy unless someone with a similar Legacy, like Ethan, came into her life.

Ethan, on the other hand, was the same. He wouldn’t be able to unleash his full potential on land unless he met someone with a Legacy similar to Lilian’s.

Their Legacies bound the two of them together, and truth be told, he didn’t mind someone like Lilian being his lover.

"I’ll ask this just to be sure,” Ethan said. “No one forced you to come here, right?”

Lilian shook her head. “No. Actually, even before Professor Rinehart sent me an invitation, I already thought of transferring to Brynhildr Academy after the school term ended. My plan simply got pushed ahead when I got Professor Rinehart’s invitation.”

"Understood,” Ethan replied. “Are you now familiar with the academy?”

"Not yet,” Lilian replied. “I only arrived two days ago, and there are still many things that I haven’t seen.”

"Do you want me to give you a tour?”

"I’d love that!”

Ethan then stood up and offered his hand to Lilian, which the latter shyly accepted.

The moment their hands touched each other, their Legacies activated at the same time, surprising the two of them.

A refreshing feeling washed over their bodies, starting from their hands that were holding each other.

‘It’s like we’re a match made in Heaven,’ Lilian thought as a faint smile appeared on her lips. ‘I’m glad I transferred here to Brynhildr Academy.’

Ethan was also at a loss of words.

Holding Lilian’s hands felt right as if it was the most natural thing to do. This wasn’t the first time that he had held her hand, but this was the first time he experienced something like this.

‘Maybe it’s because the two of you shared a kiss in the past,’ Sebastian stated. ‘Do you remember? After Lilian kissed you, your control over water became stronger too. Maybe this is just the after-effect of when she truly recognized you as her partner, and you, on a subconscious level, have recognized her as your partner as well.

‘The moment these conditions are met, your two Legacies synchronized and strengthened each other, creating this phenomenon.’

Ethan couldn’t find a way to refute Sebastian’s words, so for the time being, he accepted this possibility.

He then walked hand in hand with Lilian, taking her to see the sounds and sights of Brynhildr Academy, earning them the stares of the people who saw them together.

"Hey! Isn’t she the girl from Nightfall Academy? What is she doing here?”

"Didn’t you know? I just heard yesterday that she transferred here.”

"What? Then, is she perhaps in Eques Manor?”

"No. I haven’t seen her in Eques Manor.”

"Maybe she’s in Terra Manor? More than half of the beautiful ladies in the academy are in Terra Manor.”

As the students gossiped with each other, Ethan and Lilian toured the academy.

When they were done visiting the usual places, the young man made a short visit to the kitchen and asked the staff for some sandwiches.

Since the aunties there already knew about Ethan, they were willing to agree to his request. However, when they saw the young lady beside him, they decided to make more sandwiches and placed them inside a basket.

They even added a jar of orange juice and two wooden cups to complete the setup.

"Now, you two young ones enjoy a little picnic date together, okay?” one of the Aunties said while winking at Ethan. “Now, hurry along. We are still busy because dinner is in a few hours.”

After being shooed away from the Kitchen, Ethan took Lilian to the back of the academy where the lake was located.

The two of them then walked over the surface of the water and headed toward the island, which was one of the most special places in the academy that held a very dear place in Ethan’s heart.
