Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

A few days passed since Ethan and Emma had gone on a date.

The young man’s schedule was consistent. He would attend his classes in the mornings until the early afternoon, after which he would head to the library and read the Ancient Tomes in the Forbidden Section of the library.

He was almost done with the Diary of the Eccentric Adventurer, and he felt a bit sad, knowing that he only had a few dozen pages to read before the tale was completed.

Ethan had already shared the Moon Magic Spells that the old man invented with Luna, and both of them were looking forward to testing them on the night of the full moon, which would be happening in a week’s time.

Although he was a bit worried about what might happen on the day of the New Moon, when he would randomly transform into an animal, he had already informed the Headmaster and Professor Barret, as well as his lovers, about the side effects of his Origin Magic.

If something were to happen, they would be there to support him, so this lessened his anxiety considerably.

Whenever his lovers were not around, Lyle would pop up and chat with Ethan from time to time.

"So, spill the beans,” Ethan said before closing the Ancient Tome in his hand. “Did Alice succeed in guessing your last treasure?”

"You’ve been asking me the same question over the past few days,” Lyle smirked. “You’re really persistent.”

"Just tell me already.” Ethan crossed his arms over his chest. “Although I am not from Eques Manor, I was chosen as the Champion to represent Dud Manor. Since all the Champions will be on the same side, wouldn’t it be nice if I knew who my future teammates are going to be?”

Lyle pondered for a bit before nodding his head.

"Well, I suppose you’re right,” Lyle relented. “Fine. I’ll tell you”

Ethan listened as the Founder of the Eques Manor admitted that Alice succeeded in guessing the last treasure in his possession.

"So, who will you choose as your champion between Nicole and Alice?” Ethan asked.

"I decided not to choose and make both of them my Champions,” Lyle answered with a smug smile on his face. “Aren’t I amazing?”

Is that allowed?” Ethan tilted his head in confusion.

"We didn’t set any rules that said we could only choose one Champion,” Lyle replied. “But, everyone agreed that if one person received all our inheritances, they would become very strong. Because of this, we had an unwritten agreement that having one Champion per Manor was the ideal.

"But it’s not against the rules to have more than one. Actually, I think having two Champions from Eques Manor is a brilliant idea. Since Nicole and Alice are both talented, choosing between the two of them is very hard.

"Since that is the case, why settle for one when you can have two? Frankly, I think that this is the better choice.”

Ethan didn’t know if he should applaud the founder of Eques Manor for being open-minded or shake his head because it was obvious that Lyle was simply too lazy to choose between Nicole and Alice.

‘Well, it really isn’t my problem who he chose between the two of them,’ Ethan thought. ‘Still, I didn’t expect that he would consider Alice to be one of his Champion candidates.’

Ethan had only seen Alice in the academy’s dining hall. But, aside from that, the two had never had an interaction with each other.

The young man knew that Alice hated him because he stole the glory and prestige that was rightfully hers.

After all, Alice was supposed to be one of the Pillars of the First Years, not him.

If they hadn’t switched tickets at the train station, Ethan wouldn’t even be in Brynhildr Academy.

So, in a way, he was thankful to Alice for introducing him to a brand new world, where he learned many valuable lessons, as well as met many important people, who changed his life in more ways than one.

There were many times when Ethan wanted to talk to Alice and thank her for the incident.

But he thought that doing this would only make her angrier, so he didn’t make any move to bother her.

"Say, Lyle, between Nicole and Alice, who is stronger?”

"Why the sudden question? Are you perhaps planning to start chasing their skirts as well?”

Ethan shook his head because he had no intention of doing such a thing.

He was just genuinely curious about who among the two Witches was stronger.

The young man knew how strong Nicole was, and he understood that Alice was strong as well.

Before the Clash of Manor started, Alice challenged Nicole for her spot in the tournament.

Nicole had lost that fight, but Ethan was sure that his sparring partner simply didn’t fight Alice seriously.

However, for Lyle to choose Alice as another Champion candidate could only mean one thing.

The current Alice might be as strong if not stronger than Nicole.

"Do you want my honest answer?” Lyle asked in a teasing tone.

"Yes, please.” Ethan nodded.

"Nicole is still stronger,” Lyle answered in a heartbeat. “But, after a month, Alice will leave her in the dust. That is how powerful the treasure that she received from me is. Aren’t you curious about what it is?”

"I am,” Ethan replied.

Lyle chuckled before he placed his hands on his waist.

"Then make a guess. If you are right, I will also give you something. Although it is not as precious as the two treasures I gave Nicole and Alice, you will still find it useful. It is something I won from my comrade, Schwartz, during one of our bets hundreds of years ago.”

You really like to play Guessing Games, huh?”

"But of course!” Lyle nodded. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”

Ethan met Lyle’s mischievous smile, with a smile of his own. Actually, he already had an idea what the chubby boy’s last treasure was.

Although he wasn’t certain that this answer was correct, his gut instincts were telling him to go for it.

"I think the treasure you gave Alice is none other than your battle experience,” Ethan stated. “Right now, she needs time to digest the information that you passed to her, allowing her to use your technique in battle.

"If she really gained the fighting prowess of one of the most powerful magic knights in the previous generation, then she might really leave Nicole in the dust just as you said.”

The smile on Lyle’s face stiffened because he never expected that Ethan would successfully guess what the treasure was that he passed to Alice.

The young man was right.

Alice had inherited his experience, allowing her to use Lyle’s battle style as if it were her own.

The moment she mastered all of his techniques, the young lady would experience an explosive amount of growth, making her one of the most, if not the most, formidable existences among the Seeds of the current generation.

"It’s truly a shame that you’re not from Eques Manor, Ethan,” Lyle said in a pouting tone. “You and I would have been unstoppable, you know? I’m a Weapon Master, so I can use all kinds of weapons, including spears and tridents.”

"I guess it’s not meant to be.” Ethan shrugged. “So, where is my reward?”

Lyle clicked his tongue before tossing something to the young man who had won their bet fair and square.
