Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 900: Whose More Beautiful? She Or Mom?

A few days passed in the academy, and most of the students had finally returned.

Although there were a few dozen students who were still out for their missions, the majority had successfully submitted their mission certificates and claimed their Merit Points, which they could exchange with the Academy's Treasury.

Since some of the students still hadn't returned from their missions, and the majority of those who had returned were still tired from their missions, Professor Rinehart decided to give them a week-long vacation.

This way, the students could recover their strength and be ready for their lessons once the week was over.

Luna, Joanne, and Princess Ramona had also returned at this time, which finally made Ethan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Brother, we were attacked by Rogue Wizards this time!" Joanne said with a fearless smile on her face. "They thought we were ordinary First Years, but when we counterattacked, they didn't even see what hit them."

"Yes, yes, you're amazing," Ethan replied as he patted Joanne's and Princess Ramona's head. "You too, Ramona. Thank you for watching over my sister."

"Hey! Why do you make it sound like I'm a troublemaker?!" Joanne complained but didn't make any move to remove her brother's hand, which was patting her head.

Princess Ramona only smiled, knowing that if she agreed to Ethan's words, her best friend would start sulking.

Because of this, she chose the path of silence to make sure that everyone wouldn't just get over it.

"I'm glad all of you are safe," Ethan said, giving the pair of best friends a hug. "Now I'm sure both of you are tired. Go to your rooms, wash up, and let's all have lunch together."

""Yes!""

Joanne followed Princess Ramona in her room despite her being part of the Schwartz Manor.

Ethan could only shake his head helplessly before he hugged Luna and held her close to him.

"Thank you for coming back safely," Ethan whispered. "I missed you."

"I missed you too," Luna replied, enjoying her lover's affection. "I'll stay with you tonight, okay?"

"Okay." Ethan nodded before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Now, freshen up first, so we can all head to the dining hall together."

Luna nodded before returning Ethan's kiss.

After that, she went to the stairs to return to her room to take a shower.

An hour later, everyone was ready, so they went to the Dining Hall. However, most of the seats at each Manor Table were already filled up with people.

During the past few days, only half of those tables had been filled since a lot of students were still in the middle of their missions.

Only the table of the Dud Manor remained sparse because they only numbered a little more than a dozen.

Ethan then glanced at the table of the Headmaster and Staff and saw that several professors were still absent.

Professor Barret was nowhere to be seen, and so was Professor Nicola, who was Chloe's Spell Casting Master.

But based on Professor Rinehart's expression, Ethan could tell that there was nothing serious happening at the moment. In any case, if there were any problems, he would certainly be informed since he was a member of the Peace Keepers.

"Brother, did you know? You're quite famous outside of the academy," Joanne said with a smile.

"Am I?" Ethan asked with curiosity.

"You are famous." Princess Ramona nodded. "There are rumors going around that the newest Honorary Knight of Eastshire had slain a dragon to earn his rank."

"Some say that you even stripped a noble of his title and gave it to a beggar on the streets." Luna smirked. "Some of the rumors are exaggerated. I can't even figure out how these rumors came to life."

Ethan frowned because he didn't believe that he was a famous person.

Although everyone in the academy knew him, that didn't mean that the rest of Eastshire did.

"But there's another rumor that made people talk about you," Joanne stated. "That rumor said that you're Queen Celestia's Great Great Grandson. If that's true, then does that mean I'm also the Water Fairy Queen's Great Great Granddaughter?"

Ethan wanted to refute her words, but for some reason, he didn't feel like doing it.

Queen Celestia had been good to him, and during the times that they were together, the Water Fairy Queen would look at him as if he was truly her great great grandchild.

"Who knows?" Ethan smiled faintly. "We might indeed be her great great grandchildren."

"Brother, you've seen her, right? What is she like?"

"She's very beautiful, like a Goddess."

"Who's more beautiful? She or Mom?"

"Both of them are beautiful."

"Boooo! You didn't answer me properly!"

Ethan chuckled and changed the topic.

Queen Celestia was a Colossi, an existence closest to a Progenitor.

He had a feeling that whatever he said would reach her ears, so he needed to choose his words carefully so as to avoid offending the Water Fairy Queen, who had been treating him very well.

An hour later, a satisfied Joanne laid down on Princess Ramona's lap on the couch of the Dud Manor's common room.

"You're going to get fat if you sleep right after eating," Ethan said. "You want to be a little piglet?"

"I won't become a little piglet," Joanne replied. "My metabolism is high, and I won't get fat no matter how much I eat."

"Sure, if you say so," Ethan shook his head before leaving the Dud Manor to check on Nicole's condition.

Yesterday, the Origin Crystal on her chest was only the size of a thumb and was emitting a faint light at its center.

He believed that she only needed to wait a day or half a day more before her Origin Crystal finally matured and that the time had finally come for its extraction.

Truth be told, he didn't feel good stripping Nicole of her powers. However, this was the only way she could harness the true power of her legacy without interference from her Origin Magic.

When Ethan arrived at the tree house and entered the guest room, Nicole's Origin Crystal was shining on her chest, making Ethan sigh.

A glance was enough to tell him that the Origin Crystal had already reached maturity, and Nicole had already been waiting for his arrival.
