Chapter 71 What A Simple Minded Human

“I’m sorry, Ethan,” Luna said with an apologetic tone. “Magic Batteries are banned from the Exhibition Matches between the Manors.”

“They’re banned?” Ethan frowned. “Why?”

“Um, some of the Professors said that using this method is equivalent to cheating,” Luna replied. “For example, if someone as powerful as Nicole, or Alice had these Magic Batteries with them, they could cast very powerful spells without worrying about their magic consumption.

“The Professors, as well as Professor Rinehart all unanimously agreed that they should be banned from any kind of duel, as well as matches between the Manors. However, they can be used during missions, which is something that the Professors all agreed on.”

Hearing Luna’s explanation, the young man understood the logic behind it.

“They should have at least allowed Duds to use them to make the playing field a bit more fair,” Ethan whined. “Is that too much to ask?”

Luna giggled because Ethan was like a spoiled child that wasn’t able to get the toy he wanted.

“Ethan, the Magic Batteries are very limited,” Luna said in a serious tone. “Since I am the only one charging them, I can only charge a little over a dozen every month. The good news is that 80% of those Mana Batteries are reserved for the members of Dud Manor.

“This is the agreement I made with the President, and she gave it her approval. Sir Henry, and the other Seniors will take these Magic Batteries during their missions in order to increase their chances of success. Also, I already asked the President to reserve at least two Magic Batteries for you when you take your first Mission outside the academy.”

“Thank you for thinking about my well being, Luna,” Ethan said with a smile after realizing that Luna had taken the initiative to reserve two Magic Batteries for him. “I will gladly accept them.”

Luna smiled back because this was the only thing she could do for the members of the Dud Manor, who always took good care of her.

“Although the upcoming Clash of Manors is going to be difficult for our side, there is nothing we can do about it,” Luna stated. “We just have to show everyone what we can do, just like you did in your battle against Langston.”

The teenage boy scratched his cheek in embarrassment because his fame had shot up to its peak after his victory with Langston.

However, he wasn’t sure if he could do that again, especially since his hands were tied when it came to finding a source of magical power that he could absorb for the upcoming competition.

Luna, who had no idea what Ethan was thinking, encouraged him to continue refining his Martial Arts, which had proven to be effective in his fight against the former Pillar of Schwartz Manor.

A few minutes later, Ethan returned to his room and was surprised to see that Chessy was still there.

The black, chubby cat was laying on the bed as if it owned the place.

“Oh, you’re back?” Chessy narrowed its gaze at the blue-haired boy who had a disappointed look on his face. “Did you manage to obtain what you needed?”

Ethan shook his head before sitting at the side of the bed, feeling slightly disappointed.

“I was about to tell you another method of absorbing Magic Powers, but you left before I could even explain it to you,” Chessy stated before licking its paw. “Now, I’m no longer in the mood to help you.”

Ethan only heard the part about “another method of absorbing magic powers”, and ignored the rest.

“Do you have another way I can absorb magic powers?” Ethan asked.

Chessy ignored him and continued to lick his paw as if the handsome teenager was just a room decoration.

“Chessy, come on, aren’t we friends?” Ethan coaxed the black chubby cat, who was ignoring him. “If you tell me the method for how to absorb magic powers, I will buy you a souvenir when I get back from my mission.”

The Chesmire Cat stopped licking its paw and looked at the blue-haired teenager in a weird manner.

“Friends?” Chessy asked. “We’re friends?”

“Of course we are! We’ve been friends since you told Luna about the ceremony that would help awaken my magic power.”

“… So, friends with benefits?”

The Chesmire Cat chuckled before looking at the handsome teenager with a devilish smile on its feline face.

“A souvenir is not enough,” Chessy said. “I want three souvenirs.”

“Deal!”

“Hah… what a simple minded human.”

The Chesmire Cat shook its head helplessly before looking at the teenage boy in front of it. Truth be told, it was already planning to tell Ethan how to find an alternative to absorbing Magic Power.

The reason?

He finds this very interesting!

The Chesmire Cat was a trickster by nature, and it wanted to know if Ethan was capable of doing what it wanted. Since the boy was desperate for Magic, it decided to help for the sake of the future favor that Ethan would do for him.

“I understand that you are feeling anxious about kissing other girls in order to gain their magic power,” Chessy stated. “But, you don’t have to force yourself to kiss humans, you know? There are other ‘Girls’ out there that might help you, if you know how to make them happy.”

Ethan blinked once then twice before tilting his head to the side. He didn’t understand what Chessy was trying to tell him, which made the Chesmire Cat sigh and call him a dumb Human.

“Listen, Dumb Human,” Chessy said. “You’re good friends with Ruby, right?

It took a while for Ethan to realize what Chessy was hinting at, which made his eyes widen in shock.

“A-Are you talking about kissing Fairies?” Ethan asked. “Can I absorb Magic Power that way?”

“I don’t know,” Chessy answered. “But, you won’t know until you try. Fortunately, Fairies are easy to please. Just bring them lots of candies and ask for a kiss.”

Ethan felt a bit conflicted about using this method. Although Ruby and the other Fairies were indeed not Humans, but Magical Creatures, in his eyes, they were still girls.

“Hah… you are annoying.” Chessy, who saw Ethan’s hesitation, sighed. “Well, I already told you another way to possibly replenish your magical powers. Whether you do it or not is up to you. However, I will still get those three souvenirs when you do your mission, yes?”

“Yes,” Ethan replied. “I will buy you your souvenirs.”

Chessy nodded. “Good. Now, see you around.”

After bidding Ethan goodbye, the Chesmire Cat became invisible and left Ethan’s room. It still had many things to do, and places to go.

The mischievous cat gave Ethan one last glance before leaving the blue-haired teenager behind, who was currently deep in his thoughts.
