Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Nero and the Staff of the academy had no intention of letting anyone know the exact location of the Legacy Gate, so they found a way to teleport everyone there at the same time.

They also made enough preparations to bypass anyone who\'d try to use tracking or any kind of similar spells that might divulge the location of the gateway.

When Brynhildr Academy students reached the arena, most of the students, and even their Headmasters, glanced in Ethan\'s direction.

Ever since he won the duel against Cedric, the handsome young man rarely left the residence and kept a low profile.

When Ethan glanced in the direction where the students of Nightfall Academy stood, he saw Cedric looking at him with a calm expression on his face.

Lilian had told him that his brother still hadn\'t given up on Luna, so Ethan decided that he\'d make the other party understand that he stood no chance against him.

Ethan, who was walking hand in hand with the angelic beauty, smiled and pulled her close to him.

He then kissed Luna\'s cheeks, which made Cedric frown.

Truth be told, the handsome young man wanted to kiss Luna\'s lips in front of everyone, but he understood that she was too shy for that.

He didn\'t want to make her uncomfortable, so he settled for a peck on the cheek, and then provocatively looked at Cedric with a smirk on his face.

Luna, who received Ethan\'s kiss, smiled and leaned her body against him, closing her eyes.

According to the Staff of the academy, once they entered the Legacy Gate, all of them would be teleported to random places.

Meaning, even if Ethan entered the Legacy Gate while holding Luna\'s hand, the two of them would still likely appear in different locations.

He was quite worried about this since the angelic beauty could only rely on the Magic Bracelets that she had charged up in preparation for this trip.

The last Full Moon had been two weeks ago, but Luna was able to charge up six magical bracelets that she could use for herself.

Of course, she had also charged two bracelets for Ethan, which were currently stored inside his storage ring.

\'Lilith, are you sure you won\'t be separated from Luna after entering the Legacy Gate?\' Ethan asked the black cat that was currently hiding in the angelic beauty\'s shadow.

\'Don\'t worry, Master,\' Lilith replied. \'My ability is special. Even after we enter the gate, I will be with her to protect her.\'

\'Understood. I leave her in your care.\'

\'I will protect her with my life, Master. You have my word.\'

\'Good. I\'ll give you plenty of pats when the expedition ends.\'

"Mmm~"

He had already made all the preparations he could think of to ensure Luna\'s safety. He had even bought a pair of Guardian Rings, similar to the rings that he had bought for Chloe before they started their mission.

These rings were special and had a few extra benefits like curing poison, increasing miasma resistance, creating a barrier, as well as allowing them to sense the location of the other person who held the pair to their ring.

Unfortunately, it had a limited range of a thousand meters. If Ethan were to appear too far from Luna\'s location, it would be difficult to regroup with her inside the Legacy Domain.

Lilian, who was standing beside Cedric, felt envious of Luna because she wanted to be hugged by Ethan as well.

However, since Ethan asked her to keep their relationship a secret for now, she decided to fight her urge to approach him.

\'Once this expedition is over, I will definitely make my move,\' Lilian thought. \'But I hope that I appear somewhere close to Sir Ethan. If we were together at the start, how wonderful would that be?\'

The beautiful young lady couldn\'t help but feel her cheeks burning after having some thoughts.

Fortunately, her brother was so busy looking at Luna that he didn\'t notice the blush that crept up on his sister\'s face.

While everyone was busy eyeing each other, Nero cleared his throat and addressed everyone.

"We will now send you to the location of the Legacy Gate," Nero stated. "However, before that, all of you must sign a Death Waiver, stating that no matter what happens inside the Legacy Domain, it will not be the fault of Nightfall Academy.

"Lastly, you must also sign a contract stating that you will not harm any members of my academy. Of course, this condition is nullified in the case of self-defense. If any of my students break this agreement, you are free to eliminate that person, and I will not bat an eye."

Nero paused as he scanned the faces of the Headmasters and the students in front of him.

"I know that all of you have grudges against each other and will probably use this opportunity to eliminate the seeds of your rival academies," Nero stated. "I do not care if you do this, but leave my students out of it. Lastly, the Legacy Gate will only be open for a month.

"If you wish to leave, just break the Rune Tablets that we\'ll distribute before you enter the Gate. Once you break it, you will automatically be teleported back to the exit. The runes will also tell you how many days remain until the portal closes.

"Take note that if you are unable to leave at the specified time, you will have to wait for an entire month before we can open the gates again. I hope that all of you remember this. There will be no third chances.

"If I were you, regardless of whether you are able to gain something inside or not, I would leave before the portal closes. Your life is more precious after all."

The students of Nightfall Academy nodded in understanding, while the students of the other academies eyed their rivals.

Most eyes landed on Ethan.

Ever since the battle ended, the academies who had a grudge against Brynhildr Academy had marked him as someone that must be eliminated at all costs.

They would ensure that this precious Seed would not be able to return alive and grow to become another Professor Rinehart, whom many considered to be the strongest Wizard of the current Era.

"All of you stand in the arena," Nero ordered.

Everyone obeyed and waited for the Headmaster to make his last-minute preparations.

"See you all in a month," Nero said before raising his hand.

"Magna Itinerantur!"

The Magic Circle glowed with power, and a second later, everyone standing in the middle of the arena, disappeared without a trace.
