Chapter 388: A Devil Told Me
Chapter 388: A Devil Told Me
In the few weeks that passed, Ethan focused on his studies.
Despite the fact that Lilian had transferred in the middle of the school year, she was well-received by everyone in the academy, especially by the boys.
However, the young lady was built differently. She made it known that she only had eyes for Ethan and would not consider anyone but him as her lover.
The moment she made this declaration, everyone backed off and no longer considered her as a potential love interest.
Lily, Luna, and Emma were quite surprised by this development. Among Ethan's lovers, only Lilian had taken the initiative to declare her feelings for Ethan in front of everyone.
Ethan was just as taken aback as the others when he learned of this fact.
So, when someone had casually asked him what he thought about Lilian, he said that the young lady was his lover, shocking the entire academy.
But the most shocked of all were the children of the High-Ranking Noble Families.
Others might not know who Lilian was, but their inner circle was well aware of her true identity.
Nicole, who also knew of Lilian's true identity, only shook her head helplessly.
She knew that Ethan would probably regret making their relationship public once this news reached the ears of Lilian's family.
Fortunately, Ethan would not know the aftermath for a while since he was currently traveling with Nicole, as well as another witch from Terra Manor, to go to the Dungeon located near Grandshire.
The name of the Witch was Samantha, and she would play the role of their support and healer.
Just like Nicole had told him, the colors of Samantha's eyes were different from each other.
One blue, one green, and with her long black hair, she was definitely one of the most exotic beauties in Brynhildr Academy.
Nicole was the one flying in the lead of the formation, with Ethan and Samantha flying on her left and right sides.
They had used teleportation gates to reduce their travel time, but it would still take them three more days to reach their destination.
"That's one cool broom you have there," Samantha commented as they flew in the sky.
"Indeed," Ethan replied. "The one and only in the world."
"You know, there are rumors about you and your cousin having a falling out," Samantha stated. "She no longer hangs around with your group, and it has been three weeks since you were last seen together. Did the two of you have an argument?"
"We didn't have an argument." Ethan gave Samantha a solemn gaze.
"Then what happened?"
"No comment."
"Awww. You're no fun!"
Samantha sighed because she wasn't able to get the answer she was hoping for.
In order to change the topic, Ethan decided to ask Samantha a question.
"People say that you can see right through their clothes. Is that true?" Ethan inquired.
"Yes," Samantha answered as she gave Ethan a mischievous smile on his face. "And I have to say, you are as juicy as the rumors. Lilian will definitely feel blessed the moment she sees you in your birthday suit."
"Then tell me something," Ethan smirked. "What color is the underwear I'm wearing?"
"No comment," Samantha giggled. "It's not only you who can avoid answering questions."
The young lady even threw Ethan a playful wink before looking at his lower half.
Another giggle escaped her lips, making Nicole, who was leading the two of them smile because Ethan and Samantha seemed to be getting along just fine.
The journey was not uneventful. That much was true when the three of them suddenly encountered a Griffin who was out looking for prey.
Unfortunately for it, the prey he targeted knew how to fight back.
After being bombarded by spells, making it feel a world of pain, the Griffin fled as fast as it could, leaving the three teenagers alone.
After which they found themselves targeted by a bandit group, with two Wizards within their ranks.
Thinking that they just happened to come across three fledglings who didn't know how to fight using magic, they didn't hesitate and tried to capture them.
Ethan and Nicole made short work of them, and before the day was over, there were two less Rogue Wizards in the Shire Continent.
"I already expected it from Nicole since she came from a Knight Family," Samantha commented. "But I didn't know that you were the same, Ethan. Are you used to killing people?"
The young man smiled as he glanced at the witch flying beside him.
"I'm sure you've heard the story about me and Lily going back to the past, right?" Ethan inquired.
Samantha nodded. "Yes."
"We were sent to the Lands of Alastor, and that was where I first took a human's life," Ethan replied. "We were caught up in a war, so we either killed those who wanted to kill us, or we allowed ourselves to be killed by them instead. It's really that simple."
"Did you get nightmares?" Samantha inquired. "I've heard that those who have killed for the first time would often have nightmares after their first kill."
Ethan nodded. "I did, and I almost broke at that time. If not for the fact that Lily was there to support me, I might have become completely broken."
"Is Lily your secret lover?" Samantha looked at the young man, who was now looking in front of him. "Go on, tell me. I promise I won't tell anyone."
"I also promise not to tell anyone that you like to wear sexy purple lingerie," Ethan replied.
The young lady's eyes widened in shock before subconsciously placing her right hand over her chest.
"H-How did you know?" Samantha stuttered.
"A devil told me," Ethan replied without even bothering to look at the young witch, who was looking at him in disbelief.
Ethan didn't activate his ability to check Samantha's underwear.
It was his Other-Half who playfully said it after the young lady mentioned that Ethan was as "juicy as the rumors".
At that time, the young man almost lost control of his Wind Dancer.
Fortunately, his hands were steady, so no one was able to notice that brief moment he saw Samantha wearing nothing but her sexy lingerie, which made his Other Half comment that she had good taste in her choice of underwear.
