Chapter 377 The Surprise Waiting At Brynhildr Academy [Part 2]

?After a few more questions, Professor Barret broke the bald man’s arms and legs before knocking him unconscious.

Unlike Professor Marlton, Professor Barret didn’t want to take chances. He even snapped Kelric’s wand in two, ensuring that the latter wouldn’t be able to cast any magic unless he already had the ability to cast it without a wand.

Although the possibility existed, Professor Barret wasn’t too worried.

After all, this was why he broke Kelric’s arms, and legs. With this, the latter wouldn\'t be able to do anything.

“Let’s take our leave,” Professor Barret stated. “It’s time to return to the academy.”

Ethan and Henry nodded their heads in agreement.

Although the Streathealm Isle seemed like a good place to sightsee, the recent incident left a bitter aftertaste in their mouths.

Professor Marlton planned to throw a celebratory party for their heroes, but Professor Barret firmly rejected it and left Dawnbreaker Academy after handing Kelric over to them.

While Ethan was a pacifist by nature, he hoped that the Headmaster and the other Professors would give Kelric the death penalty.

Someone like him didn’t deserve to live, especially after what he had done.

Not only did he sacrifice Professor Onar to achieve his goals, but he also didn’t bat an eye at the possibility that Dawnbreaker Academy would be implicated and destroyed due to his schemes.

He was a very dangerous person, and allowing him to live would be a grievous mistake on their part.

Truth be told, Professor Barret was very tempted to kill Kelric then and there.

However, it wasn’t his place to do that.

Professor Marlton needed to execute him in front of everyone in order to bring the case to a close, allowing the students to move on and grieve for the loss of one of the most beloved Professors in the academy.

Professor Barret also confiscated all the items inside Kelric’s storage ring.

This would be the spoils of Brynhildr Academy since they were the ones who caught Kelric and brought him to justice.

Throughout their journey back to Brynhildr Academy, Ethan and Henry locked themselves up in their cabin.

Henry was still trying to digest every piece of information about his Legacy, while Ethan was being taught the power of Sacrificial Magic by his Other Half.

“As expected, this magic is quite sinister,” Ethan commented.

“You’re right.” His Other Half nodded in agreement. “No matter how you look at it, this Sacrificial Magic would need a live sacrifice to work. It’s a good thing that there are plenty of scum in this world. We can use them as fuel to channel the magic into some of these formations.

“However, we will only do this as a last resort and never as the first option. I know that you have set your standards for when to kill and when not to kill. I respect that, so we will only use this magic on a situational basis.”

Sacrificial Magic had a lot of uses.

Aside from summoning Demons, Devils, as well as other Magical Creatures, it could also be used for many useful scenarios.

Taking the lifespan of others and taking the Magic of others were also some of the things that could be done using this Magic.

Ethan hoped with every fiber of his being that Professor Barret and Professor Rinehart would dispose of the Magic Scroll soon.

If someone were to use it for evil purposes, things could get ugly really fast.

However, since he liked to believe that Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret weren’t bloodthirsty individuals, they would probably destroy the Magic Scroll after taking a good look at it.

This time around, it took them three days to return to the academy.

Although the journey was straightforward, it wasn’t as smooth sailing as it usually was.

They encountered a pack of Harpies on their way back, which was led by a Harpy Queen, ending in a skirmish.

Henry could only use his Giant Form one more time, so he was hesitant to use it against the Harpies.

Fortunately, they were still traveling above the sea at this time, so Ethan was able to summon a Lightning Storm, making short work of the flying pests that blocked their way.

When they returned to land, several rogue Wizard Bandits tried to hijack their flying ship and claim it as their own.

Half an hour later, not only were the bandits defeated, but they were also forced by Professor Barret to reveal the location of their hideout.

They then made short work of them as well, freeing the people that they had enslaved in their hiding place.

It was during these battles that Ethan saw how deadly Professor Barret’s fighting ability was.

He was well deserving of the praises given to him, as well as the rumored title of the Strongest Magistratus that ever took office.

Of course, they didn’t hold back when it came to looting the bandits\' treasures.

Professor Barret even jokingly said that Brynhildr’s Academy’s coffers were nearly empty, so he would use the treasures of the bandits to raise it by a little.

Of course, Ethan and Henry didn’t believe him one bit.

But they didn’t make any move to ask for any share of the spoils they got from raiding the bandit camp.

After many twists and turns along the way, the Flying Ship finally reached Brynhildr Academy, making Ethan and Henry feel as if they had been away for a long time.

So many things had happened during the past week, and they believed that they needed a well-deserved rest.

As the Flying Ship landed North of the academy, near Brynhildr’s Tower, Ethan noticed several Witches coming to greet them.

Lily, Luna, and Emma were among them.

Nicole was also there for some reason, and she was giving Ethan a mischievous smile, which made the young man wonder if she was up to no good.

However, it didn’t take long for him to realize why Nicole was acting this way.

Right after they left the Flying Ship and made their way back to Dud Manor, Ethan noticed a familiar person waiting for his arrival.

“Lilian?” Ethan blinked in confusion after seeing the First Year from Nightfall Academy. “What are you doing here?”

“I transferred here, Sir Ethan,” Lilian replied. “I even got exclusive permission to stay in Dud Manor during my stay here in the academy.”

“… Huh?” Ethan couldn’t understand the logic of Lilian’s words.

Only Duds were allowed to stay in the Dud Manor, and as far as he was aware, Lilian wasn’t a Dud.

Someone like her would usually be placed in the Eques Manor, where Magic Knights were being trained.

Ethan was not aware at that time that Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret had to deal with some annoying paperwork in order to make the transfer happen.

Nero, the Headmaster of Nightfall Academy, wasn’t too happy with this outcome.

Even Cedric was surprised when his sister announced that she would be transferring to Brynhildr Academy once the Winter Break was over.

‘Wow. I guess this is the surprise that Professor Barret mentioned in passing,’ Sebastian said, clearly impressed by the sudden turn of events. ‘These two old fogies sure know how to poach a talented student from other academies.’

‘I dare say that they made a brilliant move,’ Ethan’s Other Half commented. ‘With this, Ethan will be able to help Lilian fully unlock the power of her Legacy, and he, in turn, will be able to use his Legacy away from the sea. This is simply hitting two birds with one stone.’

Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half gave Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret two thumbs up from the young man’s Sea of Consciousness.

Truth be told, both of them were feeling anxious that it would take Ethan too long to make a move on Lilian due to the distance between Nightfall Academy and Brynhildr Academy.

But now that she was here, things finally fell into place like the last piece completing a puzzle, and Ethan’s two steadfast supporters would not stop until Ethan and Lilian had unlocked the powers that were theirs by birth and by fate.
