Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 232: Nipping A Threat In The Bud



The handsome teenage boy threw his sister a glance with a fed-up look on his face, but she ignored it and sat beside him on the couch.

"Brother, are you free tomorrow night?" Lilian asked.

"I\'ll be busy tomorrow night," Cedric replied as he continued to read the book in his hand. "My team will have a meeting about how we will deal with THAT creature inside the Legacy Domain."

"Really?" Lilian smiled mischievously. "I guess I\'ll just have dinner with Luna and her lover by myself then."

"… What did you say?" Cedric, who was reading a book, immediately lifted his gaze and looked at his sister in surprise. "She has a lover?"

"Yes," Lilian replied. "She has a lover."

"Who?" Cedric asked in a cold tone, which made her sister smile.

"Why should I tell you?" Lilian replied with a smirk. "You won\'t be joining us for dinner anyway."

"I will go," Cedric said with determination. "What time?"

"Seven in the evening."

"Where?"

"In my residence," Lilian answered. "I\'ll go now, brother. Make sure that you won\'t be late tomorrow."

Lilian left without another word. All that Cedric could see was her back, and he wasn\'t able to see the wide smile on his sister\'s face.

\'They\'re just lovers,\' Lilian thought. \'If my brother and I work together, breaking them up will not be a problem.\'

Lilian hadn\'t fallen in love with Ethan, but she had a very good impression of him. Also, since her brother liked Luna, this was like hitting two birds with one stone.

The beautiful young lady remembered the time she spent with the person that saved her life.

The way he talked, his calmness, his charisma, his gestures, and how he bravely covered for her, left an impact on her heart.

\'He\'s also quite good-looking,\' Lilian thought. \'Also, his long blue hair suits him surprisingly well.\'

The more Lilian thought about Ethan, the more she looked forward to their dinner date tomorrow.

As someone who had been raised to become a leader, she had been drilled with the mindset that all was fair in love and war.

Since the two were just lovers, that meant that their relationship wasn\'t fixed.

As long as it was not set in stone, there was still a chance for her and her brother to make their move and get the person who caught their fancy.

The brother and sister pair were so caught up in their own thoughts that they didn\'t notice that a hornet was right beside the open window.

It had seen and heard everything, and after Lilian left, it flew away in the direction of the temporary residence of Brynhildr Academy to report to its Master its discovery.

Residence of Brynhildr Academy…

"I see, thank you," Ethan said to the hornet that was resting on the palm of his hand. "You may continue your work."

The hornet flapped its wings and flew out of the window, leaving Ethan with a calm look on his face.

"What happened?" Luna, who was seated beside Ethan on the couch asked.

"Have you met a handsome teenager with blonde hair and blue eyes?" Ethan asked. "You know, the same hair and eye color as Lilian?"

Luna pondered for a bit because she had seen a few teenage boys that fit the description that Ethan told her while she was taking a stroll with Nicole and Emma in the academy.

"I\'ve met a few," Luna replied. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, if I have to make a guess, one of them seems to have taken a liking to you," Ethan smiled.

Luna smiled sweetly as she looked at the handsome young man with anticipation.

"Jealous?" Luna asked.

"A bit," Ethan admitted.

"Only a bit?"

"… A bit more."

Luna giggled, which made Ethan shake his head helplessly.

A minute later, he cupped his lover\'s face and gave her a gentle kiss, making his feelings known.

"You are indeed jealous," Luna replied when their kiss ended. "Now you know how I feel when you are always surrounded by beautiful girls."

"Even if I am surrounded by beautiful girls, I will not be swayed. You know that, right?"

"Maybe?"

Ethan stared at Luna\'s angelic face, which could charm anyone who laid their eyes on her.

He was also one of those people, so he couldn\'t blame Lilian\'s brother for falling in love at first sight with Luna. It would be hypocritical to do so.

But understanding this and letting other people take her away were two different things.

He had already made up his mind to make her one of his wives, so he had no intention of giving other people an opportunity to become her suitor.

Perhaps, sensing his thoughts, Luna decided to take the initiative to kiss him.

Although he was taken by surprise, he accepted her kiss, and soon, the sound of kissing spread inside the room.

Lilith, who was still hiding in Luna\'s shadow, observed the two of them with a flushed look on her face.

\'The Young Master sure is good at kissing,\' Lilith thought. \'Still… someone is eyeing my Master\'s woman eh? I want to see what this brave soul looks like.\'

Since Ethan had delegated Lilith to become Luna\'s bodyguard for the duration of their stay in Nightfall Academy, she believed that she would have plenty of chances to see this teenage boy that his Master was talking about.

Of course, Lilith had a guess as to what Lilian\'s brother looked like. She was always with the angelic beauty and met the same people whom the latter had met. But until her suspicions were confirmed, she would not do anything aside from doing the task that was given to her.

Inside the residence of Darkmoon Academy…

"Remember their names and faces," an old man wearing a dark robe said as several magic scrolls hovered in the air. "You will do everything in your power to stop them from leaving the Legacy Gate, especially this brat."

The old man pointed at the Magic Scroll that displayed Ethan\'s name and face, along with the information that their academy had gathered about him.

"Even if you can\'t kill him, you must cripple him," the old man said. "It will be better if you toss him to one of those Boss Monsters so that they will handle the dirty work for us. You can ignore the other students. But, he, alone, must not leave the Legacy Gate alive. Do I make myself clear?"

""Yes, Headmaster!""

The students all replied in unison.

The old man nodded his head as he glanced at Ethan\'s portrait with a sneer.

\'We don\'t need another Rinehart who might succeed in creating another Perfect Resonance,\' the old man thought. \'It is best to nip this threat in the bud before he becomes stronger.\'

The Headmaster of Darkmoon Academy narrowed his eyes.

His grudge against Professor Rinehart spanned more than two decades, and because of this, he planned to make the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy suffer in more ways than one.
