Chapter 201 Okay, Start Talking

After they all arrived at the Head Office, Ethan and Lily entered the room, leaving Chloe, Luna, Nicole, and Emma outside. They simply waited for the pair to finish their talk with the Headmaster.

When Lily and Ethan got inside, they found three people waiting for them.

They were none other than Professor Rinehart, Professor Barret, and Professor Ophelia.

As Ethan’s supposed sponsor, Professor Ophelia was in the office to hear the accounts of what happened to the teenage boy when he and Lily entered the Nexus.

“First of all, I am very glad that the two of you managed to return safely to Brynhildr Academy,” Professor Rinehart. “When I heard that both of you were forced to enter the Nexus, I really thought that neither of you would be able to make it back.”

“You should have seen how stressed the Headmaster was two months ago,” Professor Barret commented. “He had to deal with both of your families. The poor guy wasn’t able to have a proper sleep for a week.”

Professor Barret chuckled, reducing the tension inside the room.

“Very soon, news of your success in returning to the present will spread across Eastshire,” Professor Ophelia stated. “The Wizard Times will definitely send a few reporters here to try and get your stories. Do you wish for them to talk to you or not?”

“I’ll pass,” Ethan replied in a heartbeat.

“Same,” Lily answered.

Professor Ophelia nodded. “Understood. We will stop them from entering the premises of the academy, but do take note that they will not give up. Those reporters can be… very insistent at times.”

The Professor smiled bitterly because she had her fair share of dealing with the Wizard Times, especially after she became a Magistratus.

“I know that the two of you are still tired from your journey, but please take a seat,” Professor Rinehart waved his hand, and two cushy chairs materialized in front of the two teenagers. “We want to hear what happened to the both of you after entering the Nexus.”

Ethan and Lily nodded before sitting down.

The handsome young man took the initiative to tell everyone the story about their journey to the lands of Alastor. Naturally, he didn’t mention anything about him being the Tide Bringer, simply mentioning the War between the Necromancer and the Allied Tribes euphemistically.

When his story ended, the three Professors asked a few questions. This interview lasted for a quarter of an hour, after which they allowed Ethan and Lily to return to their Manors and rest.

After the two left the Headmaster’s Office, Professor Rinehart waved his wand and created a soundproof barrier inside his room.

“According to a study about the experts in the Magical Field, when people enter the Nexus and return to the present, that means that they were fated to return,” Professor Rinehart stated. “Also, it would mean that they played a role in the past, which has become part of our current history.

“Although this theory isn’t set in stone due to the lack of people who managed to return, those who did have become part of history. Barret, I know you have many connections.

“See if you can pull some strings and have someone investigate the history of the Lands of Alastor, especially legends concerning the Tide Bringer.”

Professor Barret nodded. “Understood. If what you said is true, then we might be housing two legendary figures in the flesh.”

The Professor had a very amused look on his face. Although Ethan didn’t mention the part of him being the Tide Bringer, they were already old and had seen many things. It was very easy to tell them if a person was lying or not and purposely hiding information from them.

Professor Ophelia didn’t say much, but she was also very curious if Ethan and Lily had indeed played an important role that had been carried over to the present.

Inside the office, three Professors were discussing how to prevent the Reporters of the Wizard Times and the researchers who had been studying the Nexus Phenomenon all their lives from bothering Ethan and Lily.

On the other hand, the two teenagers in question, accompanied by their friends, were on their way to Dud Manor to talk.

The group of beautiful ladies, which was led by the handsome Ethan, caught the attention of the students of the academy.

The members of Lily’s Fans Club watched this scene with jealousy, but they didn’t do anything because they could tell that their idol had a solemn expression on her face.

After arriving at the Dud Manor, Ethan was greeted by his Manor Mates.

Henry said that they would hold a celebration party for his return, to which Ethan happily agreed.

Finally, they arrived inside Ethan’s room.

The room was big enough to contain all of them. However, it still felt a bit too cramped after everyone sat down to talk.

“Okay. Start talking,” Chloe said while Ethan was preparing some tea for everyone.

Lily nodded. “When we entered the Nexus in an attempt to escape our pursuers, we were sent to 1,500 years in the past. Ethan and I were injured, and a Tribe heading to their Ancestral Lands found us.

“In order to prevent the two of us from being separated, as well as to protect our safety, I deemed it best to create a fake identity for the two of us. As you may already know, Ethan is quite handsome, and although I don’t like admitting it aloud, I am very beautiful myself.”

Chloe wanted to roll her eyes so badly at Lily’s shameless words, but she couldn’t refute it since it was true that the blonde girl was indeed a beauty.

Seeing Chloe’s reaction, Lily laughed internally and felt an urge to tease Ethan’s cousin.

“Back then, I deemed that the best course of action was to tell them that we were husband and wife,” Lily stated. “Because of this, we needed to act as lovers, so kissing each other became a norm. But, of course, that was not enough. When they found out that I had magical powers, all the single warriors of the Kendall Tribe and the Allied Tribes wanted to steal me from Ethan.

“They even held a tournament for my sake. Fortunately, Ethan won hands down. Since then, no one bothered me again. But we still had to keep the act going, so Ethan and I would kiss from time to time. After doing this for more than a year, it has become second nature to us. I hope you understand.”

Chloe and Luna glanced at each other before shifting their gaze back to Lily with solemn expressions on their faces.

“Then, tell me this. What is your current relationship with Ethan?” Luna asked.

Lily glanced at Ethan, who was still preparing the tea for everyone.

They had already talked about this before returning to the academy, and both agreed that the one who would answer this question, if Chloe and Luna asked, would be none other than Ethan.

The handsome young man, who had finished brewing the tea, walked towards the table and placed the tea cups in front of the girls before sitting beside Lily.

What he said next made Chloe, Luna, Nicole, and Emma look at him with wide eyes.
