Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular
Chapter 70: Are You Trying To Give Me A Heart Attack?!

Nearly a week had passed since Ethan's and Langston's battle.

Although the hype of the duel had decreased significantly, many people still talk about it from time to time.

Some of them were even comparing Ethan to the Legendary Fortis Dud, who built Brynhildr Academy in order to educate the next generation of Wizards and Witches.

Ethan found these talks quite amusing. He didn't think of himself as someone special because it was the Mermaid Princess, Illumina, that helped him during his great time of need.

What he only did was channel all of his magical powers to his wand, in order to allow the mermaid princess to materialize. Since her element was water, she had easily dealt with Langston's flames, allowing Ethan to close the distance.

She also imbued the young man's pitchfork with a torrent of water, giving it the power to end the match with a single strike.

However, aside from the news, and rumors circulating Ethan's identity, he found a pleasant surprise that was shared to him by the angelic beauty, Luna.

"I can still use Moon Magic even though it has been a week," Luna said after asking Ethan to talk to her in private. "This has never happened before."

Since the two of them had already shared an important secret, she decided to tell Ethan about her condition as well, which made Ethan incredibly happy for her.

"Maybe the moon this month is different from the rest?" Ethan asked. "You know those once in a blue moon things?"

Luna firmly shook her head. "No. I can only think of one thing. Perhaps, this is the side effect of performing the ceremony with you last time."

The angelic beauty's face slowly turned crimson after saying her assumption.

Ethan didn't get it right away, but after a few seconds had passed, his face also turned beet red after realizing what Luna was trying to say.

The angelic beauty lightly cleared her throat in order to change the atmosphere between them and resume their discussion.

"Although I said that I can still use Moon Magic, it's power is waning now like the many phases of the moon," Luna explained. "If my guess is right, this power will only last until tomorrow afternoon. After that, I will have to wait until the next full moon again."

Luna then looked at Ethan with a serious expression on her face.

"In order to better understand if this is a one-time-thing or not, I will need your help when that time comes," Luna said.

Although she only said "when that time comes" that was more than enough to tell Ethan what Luna was trying to tell him.

"Understood," Ethan replied. "I will help you on the night of the next full moon."

Luna nodded and thanked the handsome teenager for his time.

A moment later, the teenage boy returned to his room with a flushed face. However, along the way, he bumped into Henry, who reminded him that the Clash of Manors would be held in a week's time.

"They wanted to do this first before the Mission Hall opened in order to gauge the strength of the elites of each manor," Henry stated. "I know that we are Duds, and our magic is faulty at best. But, you mustn't use that as an excuse to not do your best in the upcoming matches."

"Of course, Sir Henry," Ethan replied. "I will do my very best."

"That is all I ask. Win or lose, you have already made us proud, Ethan." Henry patted Ethan's shoulder before going to his own room to rest.

After Ethan returned to his own room, he lay down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling.

"A week from now…," Ethan muttered. "Since Luna is about to lose her magic power, kissing her again is not an option…"

The young man then came to a realization before rubbing his face with both hands.

'Just what are you thinking, Ethan?!' Ethan thought. 'You think you can kiss girls just because you want some magic power? Are you scum? If Grandma knew what I was thinking right now, she'd probably spank me with her flip flips until my bum turned red!'

He didn't want to just go randomly kissing girls because he was afraid that it would become a habit.

The last thing he wanted to become was someone who treated the ladies around him as mere tools in order for him to use magic.

'I guess I will just have to train my martial arts a bit more.' Ethan sighed internally before taking out his wand and looking at it while lying down on the bed.

"Illumina, can you hear me?" Ethan asked the wand in his hands.

After several minutes of silence, the the young man sighed for the second time.

He understood that the Mermaid Princess would only be able to talk to him again if he was able to gain sufficient magic power in order to make her appear. Until then, no matter how much he called out to her, the wand would remain unresponsive.

Just as Ethan was about to return his wand to his storage ring, the Chesmire Cat appeared on top of his chest.

The black chubby chat was looking down on him with a devilish smile on its face, which caught Ethan completely by surprise.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Ethan screamed because he had not expected Chessy to make an appearance in front of him when he least expected it.

"Calm down, brat," Chessy slapped Ethan's face with its paw.

The Chesmire Cat made sure that its claws weren't extended, so that his slap wouldn't leave scratch marks on the handsome boy's face.

"Y-You!" Ethan glared at the chubby cat who had just given him a slap. "Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!"

"A heart attack?" Chessy blinked in confusion. "Are you low in Potassium? Why don't you eat more bananas? They are the perfect fix for those who have low potassium levels."

Ethan was so tempted to grab the chubby black cat and throw it outside the window.

However, knowing the bad rumors surrounding Chessy, he just gritted his teeth and asked the chubby cat the question that was on his mind right now.

"Why are you here?" Ethan asked.

"I was there when you fought with that Langston boy," Chessy replied. "I didn't expect the ceremony to be successful, but since you were able to beat that prick, I guess you're not that hopeless."

Chessy then lightly poked Ethan's forehead with its paw, making the boy stop moving and be still like a statue.

"Relax, this will only last for a second," Chessy said before closing its eyes. "I am only trying to confirm my suspicions."

A minute later, the cat removed its paw from Ethan's forehead, allowing the teenager to move once more.

"Just as I expected, you're out of magic power," Chessy stated. "Still… why don't I sense any magic circuit in your body? This is very strange."

The chubby black cat pondered for a bit before shifting his gaze back to the teenage boy, who couldn't move since he was seated on top of him.

"I can tell that you have reservations about kissing girls in order to gain some magic power," Chessy said. "Although this way of absorbing the energy of Witches is unique, it is also very restrictive. If you could absorb their powers by simply touching them, you wouldn't have to worry about morals and social norms."

Although he was feeling very irritated by the Chesmire Cat right now, Ethan wholeheartedly agreed with its words.

If he could only gain the magic power of others by simply touching them, he wouldn't have to worry about replaceing girls to kiss!

Of course, as a guy, kissing a beautiful girl was something that he had fantasized about many times.

However, what he wanted was a romantic relationship, and not a relationship where he just used them as magic batteries.

While Ethan was thinking along these lines, an idea popped inside his head.

"Magic Batteries!" Ethan exclaimed. "Why didn't I think of that?!"

Ethan then lifted Chessy off his chest before gently putting it on top of his bed.

He then left his room to look for Luna in order to ask her about the Magic Batteries that they were storing inside their club room.

If those magic batteries could be used to give him a temporary supply of magic power then he might be able to cast some spells during the Clash of the Manors, which would be happening a week from now.

As long as he was able to use magic, he believed that he had a higher chance of winning against his opponents, who were all hailed as the Pillars of Brynhildr Academy.
