Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Ethan walked the hallway leading to the Headmaster's Office after classes had ended.

Now that he had met Samantha's and Lilian's parents, he felt that he had tied up almost all of the loose ends that he had in the academy.

Frankly, he was still quite worried about Nicole because she seemed to be out of sorts.

Even in the classes they took together, the young lady seemed to be distracted. Also, she had this cold aura that surrounded her, making her seem unapproachable by anyone.

Out of concern, he tried to talk to her about it, but Nicole simply told him that it was only the side effect of her Legacy and that he didn't need to pay it any attention.

She added that if Ethan kept on pestering her, she wouldn't be able to focus on her training.

Nicole also advised him to not worry excessively about her and to focus on his own things.

Left with no choice, Ethan decided to respect her decision and let it go. He and Nicole parted ways, with him heading to the Headmaster's Office to talk with Professor Rinehart about his wish to leave the academy to look for Illumina, as well as monitor the movements of the Fomorians.

"You wish to look for a Mermaid Princess?" Professor Rinehart asked. "Does she look like the Mermaid Princess we see when you use your Resonance?"

"You also want to keep an eye on the movements of the Fomorians?" Professor Rinehart inquired. "Although they will be traveling from Midgard, that doesn't mean that they will travel by sea. They also have Flying Ships and Flying Creatures, you know?"

Ethan nodded. "I know, Professor. However, it doesn't change the fact that they will have to fly over the sea. As long as this happens, I can still monitor their movements."

Professor Rinehart pondered a bit as he considered Ethan's request.

Truth be told, he was busy preparing for the possible invasion of the Fomorians, so Ethan's request aligned with his goal.

There were also a few Elite Students currently doing missions for the academy, so granting Ethan's request wasn't a problem.

"How long will you be away from the academy?" Professor Rinehart asked. "Finding a Mermaid Princess in the seas of Midgard will not be easy, you know? This is a massive undertaking, so I don't think that you'll only be away for a week or two, right?"

"You're right, Professor," Ethan answered. "The sea is vast, but I really need to find her. I believe that she will be a powerful ally to have when the Fomorians make their move."

Professor Rinehart stood up from his chair and walked toward the window, which faced the South.

Even from far away, he could see storm clouds brewing, making him frown.

"Make sure to return within two months," Professor Rinehart said without looking back at the teenage boy. "Whether you find the Mermaid Princess you are looking for or not, I want you back in the academy within that time frame."

"Thank you, Professor." Ethan sighed in his heart.

Truth be told, he wasn't too confident that the Headmaster would permit him to leave the academy.

Fortunately, he didn't need to try too hard to convince Professor Rinehart and got his permission without problems.

"Just one more thing," Professor Rinehart turned around to look at the young man. "Make sure to contact me regularly using the crystal ball. The moment you see any signs of the Fomorians, you must let me know right away. Can you do that?"

"Of course, Professor," Ethan replied. "As soon as I spot them, I will relay the news right away."

He understood that this was the thing that Professor Rinehart was most worried about.

The last thing he wanted to happen was to turn Brynhildr Academy into the front lines of the war.

If they could stop the Fomorians before they made landfall, that would be the best outcome for all of them.

After getting what he wanted, Ethan left the Headmaster's Office and looked for Enzo.

He alone would not be enough to monitor the Fomorians while looking for Illumina at the same time.

Since he couldn't be everywhere, he decided to ask for the help of the Protector Clans to monitor the current situation in Midgard.

"Do you need Merric to accompany you, Young Master?" Enzo asked.

"No." Ethan shook his head. "I'll be traveling under the sea on this expedition. I just need you guys to monitor the Fomorians in Midgard and inform the Headmaster if you see any suspicious movements."

"Understood." Enzo nodded. "When will you be leaving, Young Master?"

"This weekend. So, I hope the preparations on your end will be done by then."

"I'll personally handle this, Young Master. Rest assured, everything will be ready by the time you leave the academy. But since you still need to travel to the sea, please allow Merric to send you there to shorten your travel time."

"Okay," Ethan replied.

He didn't have any problems with this arrangement because it would indeed shorten his travel time if the Flying Ship helped him reach the sea.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ethan returned to Dud Manor.

When he entered the common room, he was surprised to see Lily chatting with Lilian, Luna, Joanne, and Princess Ramona.

From the few tidbits he heard from their discussion, it seems that they were talking about what happened during Ethan's visit to the Raylight Residence.

"I should have been there as well," Joanne commented after hearing how her brother intimidated Lilian's family. "I wanted to see your parents' reaction."

Lilian smiled at her future sister-in-law because she was glad that Joanne wasn't there.

The young lady already knew that Joanne had the habit of bragging about her brother, making sure everyone knew how great he was.

Instead of being intimidated, her mother might feel infatuated with the adorable girl who was very proud of her family name.

Ethan smirked as he walked toward the ladies and sat beside Lily.

He then hugged her waist, making the young lady arch an eyebrow.

"Where have you been?" Lily asked.

"I just visited the Headmaster because I had something to discuss with him," Ethan lightly patted Lily's belly, making his wife giggle.

"Um, Lily, aren't you getting a bit chubby?" Ethan then asked in a teasing tone, lightly patting her belly.

"What chubby are you talking about?" Lily asked. "My weight hasn't changed. I checked earlier using a scale."

"Really?" Ethan smirked. "You've been eating a lot lately, and you still haven't gained any weight? Impossible."

"You shouldn't tease girls about their weight," Luna said as she sat beside Ethan. "You're such a bad guy."

Ethan playfully patted Luna's belly with a smile. "I'll make this chubby in the future, so you better be ready for that."

Luna, Lily, and Princess Ramona blushed at the same time because they realized what Ethan was implying.

It was only Joanne who chastised his brother because she thought that he would force her sisters-in-law to eat a lot of food until their bellies became swollen.

Naturally, no one corrected her, lest they corrupted her innocence. They only gave each other knowing smiles as if coming to an understanding.

A few minutes later, Ethan announced his next journey, which would take at least a month or two to complete.

He had informed his lovers about this beforehand, so they were more or less prepared for it.

Still, they felt a bit reluctant because they wouldn't be able to see Ethan for a long period of time.

However, since this expedition of his was important, all of them could only hope that he would find Illumina as soon as possible and drag the fish to land, allowing all of Ethan's lovers to finally meet her in the flesh.
