Chapter 886: Return To Brynhildr Academy
Chapter 886: Return To Brynhildr Academy
Perhaps aware of the fact that the current Head of the Magistratus was on board Ethan's Flying Ship, no one dared to harass them on their way to Brynhildr Academy.
Thus, their travel was smooth and easygoing.
However, Samantha was still in a comatose state, making Ethan worry. He only felt a bit more relieved when Sebastian and his Other Half assured him that Samantha was just drained physically, mentally, and emotionally, making it harder for her to regain her strength.
During the journey, Ethan had conversed with Professor Rinehart many times and had asked for permission to let Samantha stay in Dud Manor until she regained consciousness.
Ethan insisted that she would recover faster if she was close to him due to the resonance of the Origin Crystal that was currently residing inside his body.
Professor Rinehart didn't make things difficult for Ethan and agreed to his request. Since Samantha was a student of his academy, her swift recovery took priority.
Aside from the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy, Ethan also tried to talk to the current leader of the Magistratus, Gaeneron.
However, the man didn't talk to him using his voice. He discussed with Ethan through telepathy, which made the young man believe that the man he was talking to was a very
mysterious person.
Emma, Lilian, and Lilith took turns taking care of Samantha, washing her body and changing her clothes on a regular basis.
Although Ethan had already seen her naked many times, he still believed that there was an order to things, and he should still respect Samantha's privacy.
A few days later, they finally arrived at the academy.
Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret were there to welcome everyone and thank them for solving the case.
The Mission Hall would still be open for a week, and there were still many students undertaking new missions.
Luna, Joanne, and Princess Ramona were glad they could take on a second mission.
But this time, they no longer chose a place near Grandshire.
Since Professor Barret had informed them that Samantha and the other Witches had been saved by Ethan, the three were able to take their second mission with some peace of mind.
"Since you're already here, how about we go to my office and have a chat, Gaeneron," Professor Rinehart said. "What do you think?"
Gaeneron nodded and followed Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret back to the Headmaster's Office.
The three of them had many things to talk about, and half of it was in regard to the young man, who had once again entered the crosshairs of several troublesome individuals.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Ethan carried Samantha in a princess carry and brought her to Dud Manor.
When his Manor Mates saw the young man enter the common room carrying an unconscious lady, all of them told Ethan that walking unhurriedly out in the open was not the proper way to kidnap people.
They stated that in order to prevent others from seeing some evidence, he should have hidden Samantha's body in a sack and carried her over his shoulders.
To this, Ethan only chuckled before climbing up the stairs to go to his room.
Lilian opened the door for him before she went back to her own room to change clothes.
Lilith, who was currently in her cat form, jumped out of Ethan's shadow and sat on top of the table to look at her Master.
"Master, should we ask for more reinforcements from Caer Wydion?" Lilith asked. "Given the current situation, we might need more people, on top of further increasing preparations, due to and just in case the Fomorians attack earlier than expected. Having more people on our side isn't a bad thing."
Ethan pondered a bit before nodding. "Very well. You can talk to Emma or Enzo about bringing more people to Eastshire. If they can't enter the academy, they can still enter the base we have built-in Limeburgh Town."
"Understood." Lilith then left the room to look for Enzo.
Since he was the Patriarch of the Orpheus Clan, he had some ways he could communicate with the other Leaders from Caer Wydion.
Ethan then covered the sleeping Samantha with a blanket before sitting on the bed beside her. He once again held her hand and thought about the things that he needed to do now that he was back in the academy.
'I wonder if Nicole will agree to my proposal,' Ethan thought.
Currently, Nicole's problem was that her Origin Magic was not compatible with her Legacy.
Ethan wanted to try taking her Origin Magic out of the picture so that she could focus on cultivating her Legacy without interruptions.
Of course, whether Nicole would agree to such an experiment or not, Ethan really didn't know. He was planning to look for her after he had rested a bit so that they could talk about things in private.
The young man told everyone in the meeting that was held in Nightfall Academy that he had destroyed the Cauldron of Twilight.
This meant that the experiment he planned to do with Nicole must be done with the utmost secrecy.
If anyone got wind that the cauldron wasn't destroyed and was being kept by Ethan, things could get really bad, really fast.
"There's also the matter about Samantha,' Ethan thought. 'I need to talk to Lily as soon as possible as well.'
Lily was his First Wife, and he loved her very much.
Because of this, he didn't want to put any strain on their relationship, so he wanted to talk to her about the young lady who was sleeping on his bed.
He was raised by his grandmother with love and care, and as he grew up, he learned about taking responsibility for his actions.
Now that he and Samantha had already gone past the point of no return, he would not toss her to the side and pretend that nothing happened between them.
'I should also ask Chloe to check if the Cauldron of Twilight is the one that she is looking for,' Ethan mused. 'Although I think that they're different from each other, there's no harm in getting a second opinion.'
Depending on how the Cauldron of Twilight was used, it could prove to be a very powerful divine artifact.
It was a Domain on its own, and in one-on-one battles, it could be a very powerful tool to remove his opponent's ability to cast magic.
Ethan experienced it firsthand when he was stripped bare of all of his magical powers.
If someone like him could be reduced to such a state, others would definitely have a hard time dealing with the same situation as well.
Just as he was contemplating other things inside his head, he heard a knock on the door.
"Ethan, it's me."
Nicole, whom Ethan hadn't seen in a long time, had taken the initiative to see him after she saw Emma walking back to Schwartz Manor.
Of course, the young lady asked Emma if Ethan had returned, and after getting a positive answer, she decided to see him right away.
Ethan had been away for more than a week, and she wanted to check whether he was fine.
As a member of the Peace Keepers, she had been briefed on what was happening in
Grandshire.
Nicole was also very worried about Samantha because the latter had helped her during the
Heir Wars.
Now that Ethan had returned, she wanted to see if her close friend was truly safe from the experience that she had suffered from the Witch of the Twilight.
