Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 370: Crazy Humans, Who Weren’t Fighting Fair! [Part 1]

After holding the spear Areadbhair for two minutes, Ethan found himself inside the Headmaster's Office with the spear still in his hands.

He planned to ask Professor Marlton about the spear because it wasn't displayed in a display case, and there were no descriptions or any other forms of written information regarding the spear.

Ethan was only able to know its name because the spear seemed to have whispered inside his head, introducing its name to him, which was Areadbhair.

Fortunately, Professor Marlton was already in the office and was looking at the spear in the young man's hands with great curiosity.

"Headmaster, do you know anything about this spear?" Ethan inquired as he moved closer to the Professor and presented the spear to him.

"Didn't you see any descriptions on the display case when you took it?" Professor Marlton replied.

Ethan shook his head. "Professor, this spear wasn't inside a display case. It was just leaning on the wall of the treasury near the Spear Section."

"Really?" Professor Marlton was just about to hold the spear when suddenly, blue flames rose from the spear's handle, and gave the Headmaster a gentle push.

The flames didn't hurt him, and merely prevented the old man from touching it.

"It seems that the spear has recognized you as its Master," Professor Marlton said. "Still, I'm pretty sure that I have memorized all the items in the treasury. I should know something once I see it, but I have no recollection of this spear."

The Headmaster of Dawnbreaker Academy then opened the safe at the corner of his office, and took out a magical scroll.

This scroll contained all the names and descriptions of every item in the treasury. Professor Marlton was hoping that he would be able to know the spear's identity using this method.

The old man then pointed the scroll towards the spear like a wand, and a beam of light flew from the scroll towards the spear.

A second later, a projection rose up in front of him. However, to his surprise, the page was blank.

"Impossible!" Professor Marlton gasped. "How can that spear not be recorded in this Magic Scroll? Are you sure you got it from the treasury? Ethan, this is an important matter. I hope that you're not playing a prank on this old man."

"Professor, why would I play a prank on you?" Ethan shook his head helplessly. "The only thing I know about this weapon is that its name is Areadbhair. I only came to know that the moment I touched its handle."

"Areadbhair?" Professor Marlton narrowed his eyes. "It doesn't ring a bell. I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about that weapon. I don't know how it ended up inside our academy's treasury, but I can guarantee you that it is not recorded in our collection."

Ethan sighed as he stared at the spear in his hand. He was hoping that the spear would tell him something else, but for now, it did nothing and remained still in the young man's hand.

A few minutes later, Henry and Professor Barret appeared inside the room as well. Both were holding an artifact in their hands.

The Head Prefect of Dud Manor was holding a pair of bronze gloves in his hands.

Professor Barret, on the other hand, was holding what seemed to be a sword handle, but it didn't have a blade.

But, to Ethan's surprise, Professor Marlton was able to recognize both artifacts, which made the young man scratch his head.

'Just what kind of secrets do you hold, Areadbhair?' Ethan thought.

As if understanding what it was thinking, a small blue flame flickered from the tip of the spear, and jumped onto the back of Ethan's hand.

It then swayed side to side as if teasing the teenage boy before disappearing completely.

'Hahaha! It seems that this weapon has an attitude,' Sebastian commented. 'I like it!'

'Be careful Ethan,' Ethan's Other Half said in a solemn tone. 'This weapon is not simple. Although I don't recognize its name, or know its background, I can say with utmost certainty that it is a very powerful, and dangerous weapon. Be careful when you wield it.'

Ethan frowned after hearing his Other Half's words. He knew that his Other Half liked to tease him a lot, but the young man could tell that this time, he wasn't joking.

'Understood,' Ethan replied. 'I will be careful using this spear.'

Just as Ethan was about to store the weapon inside his storage ring, the spear turned into a small blue orb, and darted towards Ethan's forehead, leaving a tattoo of a blue flame that glowed faintly before disappearing completely.

Suddenly, the emblem of the Sea God's Trident glowed on the back of Ethan's left hand.

It was as if the Trident was welcoming Areadbhair, and the latter replied in kind by glowing on Ethan's forehead.

A moment later, both weapons quieted down and stopped glowing. Leaving only a confused teenage boy, who didn't know what just happened.

While Ethan was deep in thought, Professor Barret cleared his throat, making everyone in the room look at him.

"I said earlier that something smells fishy about this whole Dragon Egg stealing thing," Professor Barret said. "There is only one way to clear up this misunderstanding and that is to go directly to the crime scene."

"Going directly to the crime scene?" Professor Marlton frowned before his frown changed into disbelief. "Wait! Are you saying that you plan to go to the Dragon's Nest directly? Are you mad?!"

"No," Professor Barret replied. "I am perfectly sane. Do you think a mad person would do what I plan to do?"

"Definitely," Professor Marlton said in a heartbeat. "Either that or you have gone crazy, Barret. Is this what happens when you are under pressure?"

The Ex-Magistratus looked at his old friend in disdain before motioning for Ethan and Henry to follow him.

Professor Barret wasn't the type to simply wait for death. Since the Elder Dragon intended to kill him as well, he decided to kill her first instead.

Of course, he planned to be civil and talk to the Elder Dragon, Eizenth, personally.

But, if she didn't plan to listen then he would have to make her listen.

How?

By Force!
