Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 851: Melting The Heart Of Ice [Part 1]



"Everyone, please make sure to not go overboard once the Mission Hall opens next week," Professor Nicola said. "Don't be like Mr. Ethan Gremory, who goes on missions for weeks, thinking that I will not fail him just because he had been given a special mission by the Headmaster."

The Professor who taught Advanced Spell Casting Classes eyed the young man, who had finally shown up in her class after weeks of absences.

Ethan, who was suddenly thrown in the spotlight, gazed back at the Professor with a calm expression on his face.

He had many things to do, including reporting to the Headmaster after classes and talking to Nicole about her condition.

But aside from those concerns, he also wanted to ask Professor Nicola if she knew where Chloe had gone.

But since he couldn't ask during classes, he could only wait until they were dismissed from class.

"If there are no other questions, all of you can go now," Professor Nicola stated. "Keep practicing your disarmament spells because it might just save your lives in the future. Class dismissed."

As soon as the classes ended, the students left the room in a hurry. Their afternoon classes had finally ended, and they were finally free.

Ethan, on the other hand, made a gesture for Nicole to wait a bit because he had something to talk to her about.

"Meet me later in the Dud Manor after an hour," Ethan said. "I have something important to tell you."

Nicole nodded. "Okay. I'll be there."

Seeing how serious he looked, Nicole had a feeling that it was truly important, so she didn't joke around and directly agreed to his request before leaving the room.

Professor Nicola, who noticed that Ethan still hadn't left, frowned and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Mr. Gremory, is there something you need from me?" Professor Nicola arched an eyebrow. "If not, please leave the room. I still need to clean up before locking up."

"Professor, do you know where Chloe is?" Ethan asked back.

The Professor pursed her lips. Clearly, she didn't want to talk about this topic with the teenage boy, whom her disciple favored very much.

"She's currently doing a special mission for the academy," Professor Nicola. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you her whereabouts."

"But is that mission safe?" Ethan insisted. "I know that Chloe is a competent witch, but I don't know what kind of mission she is doing for the academy. I am worried about her."

"Mr. Gremory, as you said, my disciple is a competent witch," Professor Nicola replied. "Since that's the case, you don't need to worry about her safety. But since you're really worried about her, all I can say is that she is traveling with the Chesmire Cat.

"Although that fluffball can be annoying at times, it can keep her safe if need be. That White Ape, Koko, also went with her as a bodyguard. If my calculations are correct, she'll be back by the time the Mission Hall opens next week."

Ethan was finally able to breathe a little easier, knowing that his cousin was with Chessy and Koko. If those two were with her, he didn't need to worry about her safety.

After thanking the Professor, Ethan left the Spell Casting Room and headed straight to the Headmaster's Office.

Professor Rinehart wanted to discuss and record everything that had happened in Ethan's mission because he planned to share this information directly with his friend, Edmond Bourbon, who was the Grand Archmage of the Kingdom of Wisteria, as well as the King's right-hand man.

Ethan didn't hesitate and cooperated with the Headmaster. After all, the news of the invaders from other worlds was a very important subject.

However, it would also add more burdens to the leaders of the different Kingdoms in the Shire Continent.

They were already preparing for the war with the Fomorians, but with the possibility of Invaders suddenly appearing in their territory, they needed to create a special team that would handle such emergencies.

Half an hour later, Ethan left the Headmaster's Office and headed to the Dud Manor, where he took a quick shower before meeting Nicole.

Truth be told, he thought that he would be able to take it easy after he returned to the

academy.

But with his best friend's current condition and his cousin's disappearance, he felt several burdens weighing heavily on his heart.

Ethan had just finished taking a shower when he heard a knock on his door.

"Please give me a minute," Ethan replied as he hurriedly wore a bathrobe before opening the door.

"I'm sorry. Were you taking a shower?" Nicole asked after seeing Ethan's appearance. "I can come back later if you want."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"No, I just finished," Ethan replied. "Please come in."

Ethan wasn't really bothered letting Nicole come inside his room while he was only wearing a bathrobe.

The two of them had spent more than a week practically naked in bed together, so Ethan was no longer embarrassed even if his best friend saw him without clothes on.

No more barriers could make the two of them feel embarrassed in each other's company. "Please take a seat," Ethan said before locking the door behind him.

The young lady didn't stand on ceremony and sat on Ethan's bed, looking at the young man with a faint smile on her face.

The young man's hair was still wet, giving him that disheveled look that only those close to him were able to see from time to time.

"Well, then. Why did you want to talk to me?" Nicole asked. "We just had our session two days ago, so my body doesn't need any maintenance right now. I'm sure you didn't call me for that,

did you?"

Ethan sat beside Nicole and held her hand before looking straight into her eyes.

"Nicole, last night, Lady Hecate visited Ramona," Ethan said. "She told her to pass a message to me, and this message concerns you. According to her, you only have one year to live. If you use the power of your legacy, that one year will shorten even further."

The young man didn't know how Nicole would take this news, but he wanted to assure her that whatever happened, he would be there to support her using every means at his disposal.
