Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 298: Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing [Part 1]

"Since we're already acquainted, why don't we all cut to the chase? Now, tell me. Which one of you am I supposed to fight?"

Lyall almost burst out laughing upon hearing the handsome young man's words. She immediately tugged at her brother's robes, making the latter look at her.

"This guy is interesting. I like him," Lyall said. "Make sure not to kill him, okay?"

Conall smirked after hearing Lyall's request. Truth be told, he was quite impressed with Ethan for daring to take the initiative to challenge them to a fight.

This was why they came to the academy. In fact, Conall was already preparing the words that he would use to challenge Ethan the moment he met him.

But these preparations were all for naught because not only did their target come to them personally, but he even challenged them to a duel of his own volition.

Although his plan to beat up Ethan until he was half dead didn't change, he decided to do it quickly instead of extending the young man's suffering.

Truth be told, Lyall was very tempted to fight Lily's lover instead of her brother.

However, she knew that she wouldn't be able to use her full power because she found him quite pleasing to the eye.

'If only he wasn't a Dud, he would be the perfect partner for Lily,' Lyall thought.

Just as these thoughts popped up into her mind, Conall stepped forward and crossed his arms over his chest.

"I will be your opponent," Conall declared with confidence.

Ethan nodded "Good. Let's go to the Arena. I already asked Professor Barret for permission to use it."

Lyall moved closer to her sister, Lily, and whispered in her heart.

"… I really like this guy," Lyall whispered. "If you break up with him, hook us up, okay?"

Lily glared at her older sister, making Lyall giggle.

"Wow!" Lyall hugged Lily after she finished giggling. "Scary!"

Conall followed behind Ethan and narrowed his eyes. He was trying to gauge Ethan's strength.

He noticed that the handsome young man's steps were steady and didn't contain an ounce of anxiety or fear.

Also, the way he carried himself made Lily's brother realize that Ethan knew how to fight.

As to how good he was at fighting, Conall didn't really care. No matter what Ethan did, he was confident that it wouldn't faze him.

After arriving at the Grand Coliseum, where the Clash of Manors was once held, they found that it was almost completely deserted.

There were six people in the venue when they arrived, and they were none other than Professor Rinehart, Professor Barret, Chloe, Luna, Nicole, and Emma.

Professor Rinehart and Lily's mother, Leah, were part of a tight-knit group in the past.

When Lily told the handsome young man that her family was coming to see him, she didn't hide anything and told him their purpose for coming.

Since that was the case, he decided to ask Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret to let them use the arena to settle this matter privately.

Chloe, Luna, Nicole, and Emma were not considered outsiders, so he allowed them to watch his battle against Lily's brother.

Conall glanced at the four beautiful ladies and frowned.

"Are they your lovers, too?" Conall asked.

His earlier goodwill for Ethan disappeared after seeing that Lily's "mate" had several other ladies aside from his sister.

Conall had already decided to finish the battle as quickly and painlessly as possible, but now, he changed his mind again.

Due to his strong sense of smell, he could sense Ethan's scent lingering on the ladies.

He had noticed it earlier, but his sister, Lily, was also giving off the handsome young man's scent, and it was even stronger than the rest of the girls who had come to watch their fight.

Because of this, he decided to beat the crap out of Ethan according to his father's wishes.

He would give the teenage boy the most painful beating in his life.

"You better tone down your killing intent, young man," Professor Barret commented as he looked at Conall. "This is a learning institution. We won't allow any of our students to be killed. Even if the killer is someone who belonged to HIS Family."

Conall smiled, showing his canines. "Don't worry, Professor. I'm sure that even if I tried to kill him, either of you would make that impossible, right?"

"Well, you're not wrong," Professor Barret replied.

As a retired Magistratus, Professor Barret knew Lily's family very well, especially her older brothers, whom no one wanted to provoke in Southshire.

Professor Barret only had praise for Ethan's potential. But, he also understood that it was still too early for the boy to face off against Conall, who had already mastered his Beast Heart.

Professor Rinehart treated Ethan as a very important student of his academy, so he was also there to give his support to the young man.

He and Professor Barret had already placed protective enchantments all over the arena, preventing any casualties from taking place.

"Thank you for agreeing to my selfish request, Headmaster, Professor," Ethan bowed his head respectfully to the two people who stood in the highest positions in the academy.

"It is just a simple matter," Professor Rinehart replied. "Don't do anything reckless, you hear? It will not be too late to beat him up in a few years when you have mastered your Resonance."

Ethan nodded before walking towards the arena.

Conall trailed behind him, wearing a confident look on his face.

He even gave the beautiful ladies who had come to watch their battle a sidelong glance.

'Watch carefully how I obliterate this guy.' Conall sneered in his heart. 'I'll make you all understand that you chose the wrong person to love.'

The two combatants stood dozens of meters away from each other.

Both of them critically eyed their opponent as Professor Rinehart explained the rules of this duel.

But seeing that neither of them was listening to him, the Professor sighed and simply raised his hand to start the battle.

"Duel Start!" Professor Barret declared.

As soon as he gave the signal, Conall took a step forward and lunged towards his opponent with a devilish smile on his face.

He had already transformed into his Demi-Wolf form, granting him superhuman strength and speed

Chloe, Luna, Lily, and Emma watched as he closed the distance between him and Ethan in the span of a few heartbeats.

Ethan, who was holding his Sea God's Trident firmly in his hands, didn't even manage to take a proper stance before Conall's fist almost broke through his defenses.
