Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 495 I Don’t Want To Feel Cold All Day Long

Countless icicle shards clashed with each other, creating the sounds of glasses breaking.

Both ladies were starting to increase the frequency of their magical exchange, while exchanging blows at close combat.

“You trained her well, Ophelia.”

Professor Ophelia turned around and saw Professor Barret and Professor Rinehart hovering behind her.

The one who spoke was none other than the Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy, making the Lady Professor smile.

“But, this is getting too dangerous, Ophelia,” Professor Barret commented. “I can understand if they fought in the stadium with all the safety locks in place, which would prevent either of them from seriously getting hurt or dying.

“However, the two of them are going all out in the Training Ground, without even stepping into the arena to battle. The least you can do is make sure that both of them are safe, yes?”

Professor Ophelia blushed because she had been so immersed in the magical battle between the two ladies that she had forgotten that they were only supposed to spar with each other.

At least, that was Alice’s original intention.

However, the more the two of them fought, the more they were getting carried away, even using powerful spells, which wouldn’t normally be seen in a sparring match.

“S-Should I put a stop to it?” Professor Ophelia asked with a face tinged with embarrassment.

“No need for that,” Professor Rinehart. “I already activated the magical formation inside the Training Ground. Both of them will be fine.”

“Thank you, Headmaster.”

“Mmm. Just remember this lesson in the future.”

While the three Professor’s chatted, Nicole managed to successfully bypass Alice’s defenses and landed a kick on her abdomen, sending her opponent flying backwards.

Alice winced, but she managed to coat her body with a layer of ice, mitigating most of the damage that she received from Nicole’s kick.

“Gladius Glaciei,” Alice said with determination as a ten-meter-sword appeared above her head.

The silver-haired beauty then made a slashing gesture with her wand, making the giant sword Ice Sword, slash her opponent.

Alice only took a second to materialize her Giant Ice Sword, not giving Nicole enough time to evade its slash, which was aimed in her direction.

Just before the sword was about to hit Nicole, the color of her eyes turned crimson.

A loud explosion sounded as the sword created a twenty-meter long fissure in the Training Ground, missing its target by a meter.

The two ladies held each other’s gaze, and were about to fight again when three people landed between the two of them.

“Okay, that’s enough for morning exercises,” Professor Barret stated. “Both of you did well. I’m glad to see that the Academy has produced two exceptional Witches, who are worthy to be hailed as the Pillars of the First Years.”

Alice and Nicole exchanged a glance with each other before lowering their weapons.

Although it was a shame that their battle was interrupted midway, they had no choice but to cease all fighting because the Headmaster and Professor Barret was already at the scene.

“Professor Ophelia, make sure to fix the… damages here in the Training Ground before you have breakfast later,” Professor Rinehart said as he looked at the fissure on the ground, which was the result of Alice’s sword strike.

“O-Of course, Headmaster,” Professor Ophelia replied. “I will handle it right away.”

Professor Ophelia could feel her cheeks burning as she used Earth Magic to repair the damages to the Training Ground.

Alice, feeling a bit sorry for her Aunt, also helped with the repairs, which made Professor Ophelia thankful.

Nicole, on the other hand, gave a respectful nod to Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret before leaving the Training Ground to return to Eques Manor.

Her clothes were drenched with sweat due to the intense battle she fought with Alice a few minutes ago.

But, she wasn’t feeling hot or anything.

In fact, she was feeling cold.

Very cold.

Even the blood flowing inside of her veins had lost their warmth.

‘I accidentally used it earlier,’ Nicole thought as she felt the side effects of using her Untamed Legacy.

Usually, when this happened, she would have no choice but to tough it out until it receded.

The only problem was that this coldness would not go away for a few hours, which was why she usually locked herself inside her room whenever this happened.

But, after remembering what happened in the Royal Palace, she decided to see if her side effect fading away wasn’t a fluke.

‘I’ll go look for Ethan after I take a hot shower,’ Nicole thought. ‘Still, Alice has grown very strong since I last fought her. I think even Lily will struggle facing her again.’

When Alice had challenged her to represent Eques Manor in the Clash of Manors, Nicole didn’t fight her seriously and allowed her to win.

Because of this, Alice faced criticisms from their Manor after she lost to Lily.

Everyone said that things might have ended differently if the one who had fought in the tournament had been Nicole instead of her.

Since then, Alice no longer hung around Eques Manor, and would only return when it was time to sleep.

She didn’t mingle with her Manor Mates, nor talked to any of them.

Her routine was simple.

Go to class.

Eat.

Train.

Sleep.

Rinse and repeat.

“I guess I better not slack off,” Nicole muttered. “I’m sure that she is back with a vengeance. Will she perhaps challenge Lily for her position as Pillar of the First Years, or… will she challenge the bigger fish instead?”

Currently, Ethan held two of the First Year Pillar titles within the academy.

After Langston lost to him, all the privileges that Langston used to have as a Pillar of the First Years were all transferred to Ethan.

Because of this, many were very eager to try their luck and challenge him to a battle.

However, after seeing his duel against Cedric, those who wished to fight him changed their minds.

They weren’t really worried about losing to Ethan in a duel.

No.

They were more worried that Ethan would accept their challenge and fight them without his shirt on!

None of the boys, especially the single boys, wanted to make all the ladies fall in love with the handsome young man, who also had a drop-dead-gorgeous body, making all the girls fawn over him.

This was also the reason why no one dared to fight the Double Pillar Holder, making Ethan the unspoken leader among the Pillars of the First Years.

“Alice versus Ethan… now, that is a matchup I’d pay to see,” Nicole said softly as her flying broom landed in front of Eques Manor. “But, I need to see him first. I don’t want to feel cold all day long.”

With these thoughts inside her head, Nicole entered her Manor.

At the same time, in Dud Manor, Ethan woke up on his bed, wrapped up in the loving embrace of his two lovers.

After a few hugs and kisses, the three of them decided to change their clothes and head to the Dining Hall together.

Today was the day that Ethan would visit the Library to see if he could decipher the old tomes, and ancient texts that were securely locked up in the forbidden section of the Library.

Waiting for someone to discover the secrets that they held for thousands of years.
