Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 361: A Blessing And A Curse

"Good," Rin said as she looked at the young man, who had his eyes closed. "The nosebleed had stopped."

"Thank you, Miss Campbell," Ethan replied with his eyes still closed.

"Well, that's good to hear. But why do you still close your eyes?" Rin asked. "Do you think that my fiance will kill you just because you stared at me? It's not as if I'm not wearing any clothes, you know?"

Ethan laughed nervously after hearing her words.

If Henry found out that the young man had already seen his fiance's seductive body, then there was a big chance that his very "understanding" Head Prefect would stop being understanding and punch him.

"I'm not feeling well," Ethan said as he lightly squeezed Luna's hand, who was seated beside him. "Luna, can you help me return to my room?"

"Of course," Luan replied.

"Lead the way. My eyes hurt, so I can't open them right now."

"Okay."

Luna held Ethan's hand firmly and led him toward the stairs. Only when the young man was sure that he was no longer facing the others did he open his eyes.

Seeing Luna's naked body still made his body feel hot. But this was safer and many times better than looking at other beautiful women's bodies without their permission.

The young man was only able to sigh in relief after the two of them had safely returned to his room.

"What happened, Ethan?" Luna asked. "What happened to your eyes? They've changed color."

Ethan didn't know if he should tell his lover honestly about what happened or remain silent.

In the end, he decided not to tell anyone until he understood what was happening to him.

"Lilith, no matter what happens, don't leave my shadow," Ethan ordered.

"Understood," Lilith replied. Since her Master had given her an order, she would do it without fail.

Ethan knew that Lilith was a Cat Kin. Although he still hadn't seen her human form, he had a feeling that he might see it if the Black Cat were to appear in front of him right now.

Luna had already mentioned that Lilith had a very mature and sexy figure compared to them.

The young man was certain that if he saw Lilith's human form, he wouldn't be able to look at her the same way again.

"Ethan?" Luna asked in a worried tone.

"I know that it's hard to believe, but I'm really fine, Luna," Ethan replied. "I just need some time to sort things out."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about what was happening to him, Luna nodded and changed the subject.

"You must be hungry," Luna said. "I was about to bring you food, but Nicole and Garnet came to look for me, so I have forgotten about it."

"Why were they looking for you?" Ethan asked with curiosity, not minding one bit that his beautiful lover was nakedly sitting beside him.

"Oh, the two of them were wondering if I could make them a few Magic Batteries before the Mission Hall opens again.

"Although I heard that the First and Second Years will be exempt from going on missions this time around, there are still some individuals who are given special permission to participate.

"Nicole and Garnet were some of those individuals, and they were asking if I could reserve four Magical Batteries for them before they start their missions."

Ethan nodded in understanding. "I see."

A few minutes later, Luna left the room to get the food that she had placed in the kitchen earlier.

Meanwhile, Ethan looked at his reflection in the mirror and looked at his eyes, which had turned completely green.

'Sebastian, do you know what is happening to me?' Ethan asked.

'Before you fell off the bed earlier, I sensed a faint surge of magical power materializing inside your body,' Sebastian answered. 'It appeared out of nowhere. I took a good look at it, but I figured that it didn't pose you any real harm. In fact, it seemed to be perfectly compatible with you, so I didn't remove it.'

Ethan's Other Half, who had been silent by now, suddenly spoke up.

'You said that you were dreaming earlier, right?' Ethan's Other Half asked. 'What did you see in your dream?'

Ethan explained everything he saw in his dream from start to finish. When he was done, his Other Half chuckled as if coming to an understanding.

'So you met Vincent, huh?' Ethan's Other Half commented.

'Do you know him?' Ethan inquired.

Ethan's Other Half nodded. 'Of course, I know him. How can I not know that henpecked husband? I see. If it's him, it's certainly possible for him to have created this kind of ability. That brat is a womanizer, but he is currently on a short leash.

'Since he can't embrace other beautiful women, he decided to just look at them from a distance. There's no saving that pervert now.'

Ethan was surprised that his Other Half knew Vincent. Also, from his tone of voice, it seemed that he knew him on a personal level.

'Then, does that mean that I'll be stuck like this forever?' Ethan asked anxiously.

He couldn't possibly continue his studies at Brynhildr Academy with his current condition.

'Calm down. Have you still not noticed it yet?' Ethan's Other Half asked. 'This ability is not simple. You can activate it at will even if you don't have any magic power. I finished analyzing it just now, and I've got to say, you got lucky that your soul wandered to his location.'

'My soul wandered to his location?'

'Yes. It's called Astral Projection. You unconsciously did it, and your soul briefly appeared in the Astral Plane, therefore meeting him. This is why I said that you got lucky.'

Ethan's Other Half chuckled before explaining the three uses of the Ability that Vincent bestowed upon him.

'You are currently using the First Level of this ability, which is that bastard's perverted way of ogling beautiful women from afar,' Ethan's Other Half explained. 'The second stage of this ability is that you will be able to see farther than normal.

'After checking the details of this ability, you will be able to see up to two miles away clearly once you activate its Second Level. It would be as if you were using a telescope.

'The Third Level allows you to see the weakness of anyone or anything as long as they have a weakness. You can combine any of the Levels at the same time, or combine all three of them at the same time.

'I'm going to be honest, Ethan. This is a very powerful ability. If you are unable to see your opponent's weakness exteriorly, you will be able to see their weakness interiorly. That is how this skill works. It will be best if you master it as soon as possible.'

Ethan was surprised because he had received such a powerful technique out of nowhere. However, he couldn't really feel happy due to his current situation.

'Don't worry, I will help you bind it with a password,' Ethan's Other Half commented. 'That will be the trigger to turn it on and off. For the time being, let's call this ability, X-Vision. That will be your trigger. Now, say it.'

'X-Vision,' Ethan said in a heartbeat.

As soon as he said the keyword, his eyes returned to their normal colors. However, at the same time, Ethan felt a stinging pain in his eyes, as if they were being poked by a needle.

Fortunately, the pain receded after a minute, making Ethan sigh in relief.

It was also at this time that he heard Luna's voice on the other side of the door, asking him to open it.

With a relief-filled sigh, the young man decided to eat his dinner first and worry about his new ability later.

'The next time I meet him, I'll give him a piece of my mind,' Ethan vowed as he remembered the extremely handsome man, who had forcefully given him a gift that was both a blessing and a curse.
