Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Since the Cait Sith was a cat, he thought that there might be a possibility that he knew about Chessy.

The moment Noja heard the words \'Chesmire Cat\', it immediately clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Of course, we know that bastard, Noja," Noja replied. "Among our race, we refer to that annoying cat as the \'Cat who must not be named\'. It\'s a menace to Cat Society, Noja. I advise everyone to stay away from it.

"Eight out of the ten words that come out of that annoying cat\'s mouth are lies. It simply cannot be trusted!"

Professor Njal lightly coughed, seeing that his friend got carried away by his emotions.

Of course, the students of the academy had heard the legend of the Chesmire Cat. People said that it randomly appeared and disappeared within Brynhildr Academy and that it often played pranks on the students.

The most annoying part of it was that they could never hope to find it because the Chesmire Cat was almost always invisible, only showing itself to the people whom it wanted to talk to.

But before everyone could calm down, they suddenly heard a voice that made Ethan\'s liver itch.

"Oh, really?"

Although the young man couldn\'t see where the Chesmire Cat was, he was very certain that Chessy was around them.

"Gah! It\'s you, Noja!" Noja immediately reacted after hearing the Chesmire Cat\'s voice. "Come out, Noja! Stop hiding like the coward you are, Noja!"

"Calm down, Noja," the Chesmire Cat replied in a teasing tone. "Don\'t show the students your frustrated side, Noja."

"Don\'t copy me, Noja!"

"Don\'t copy me, Noja."

"Get out of here, and fight me like a true Cat Fairy, Noja!"

"I don\'t want to, Noja."

The girls started to giggle due to how silly this exchange was as they looked around to see if they could glance at the Chesmire Cat, who had gained popularity among the First Years of the academy.

Due to the Chesmire Cat\'s interference, the class became fun and rowdy, which made Professor Njal scratch his head.

Although things didn\'t go according to his plan, he decided to accept the results since the students had fun interacting with both Noja and Chessy.

When the class ended, Chloe returned to the Jaeger Manor to rest. However, when she entered the room, she saw a chubby black cat sitting on top of the table and looking at her with an amused look on its face.

"I\'ve been away from the academy, and I don\'t know the specifics, but it seems that you and Ethan are not as close as you used to be," Chessy said. "Did something happen?"

Chloe walked towards the table and sat on the chair beside it. She then propped her chin on the backs of her intertwined hands and stared at the chubby black cat, who was also staring back at her.

"Chessy, you really like gossip, don\'t you?" Chloe replied in an amused tone.

"Of course." Chessy nodded. "Being invisible allows me to listen to some pretty juicy gossip as I take a stroll around the academy. One of them is that you and Ethan had a falling out, so I decided to ask the source directly to confirm if the rumors are true."

"We didn\'t really have a falling out," Chloe replied. "We just distanced ourselves from each other because of a difference in opinion."

"Oh? Tell me more."

"And why should I do that?"

"Because if you do, I\'ll owe you a favor."

Chloe frowned because as far as she knew, it was always the opposite. The Chesmire Cat would help others, and those people would owe it a favor.

Actually, Ethan was one of these people.

Since Chessy helped him to gain magic power, the young man owed the mischievous cat a favor, which it could ask whenever it felt like doing so.

"If I tell you the reason, will you help me with something?" Chloe asked.

"Hmm, tell me first what kind of help you need from me," Chessy answered. "If it\'s within my boundaries, I don\'t mind doing it in exchange for your honest answer about your falling out with Ethan."

Chloe closed his eyes for a few seconds as if she was organizing her thoughts.

When she was sure about what she wanted to say, she told the Chesmire Cat the favor that she wanted from it.

"Oh my~ this is a rather tricky favor," Chessy commented. "But it\'s interesting, so I\'ll accept this deal. Now, tell me everything."

Chloe nodded and told the Chesmire Cat everything, making the latter tilt its head to the side.

"What a dangerous reason that is," Chessy stated. "I will be honest, Chloe. I never thought that you had this kind of side to you."

"I also didn\'t know this side of me existed," Chloe replied. "I only came to know about it after we distanced ourselves from each other."

The Chesmire Cat nodded. "I now understand why you asked me for that kind of favor."

"You will not back out of our deal, right?"

"Of course not. But it will take me at least two months to get what you want. You\'re lucky that I plan to head to Westshire in a few days. I\'ll look for the thing you ask of me after I finish my other mission."

"Okay," Chloe nodded. "As long as you don\'t forget it, I can wait."

"Mmm, you have my word."

"Thanks, Chessy."

The Chesmire Cat then stretched its body on top of the table like a normal cat before shifting its attention back to Chloe.

"If you really plan on doing this, then you will need someone to supervise you just to be on the safe side," Chessy stated. "I was there earlier in your Spell Casting Class, and I believe that Professor Nicola took a liking to you. If it\'s her, I\'m sure that she can keep your secret. After all, she secretly hates Ethan."

"Does she hate Ethan?" Chloe asked in surprise.

"Well, hate is too strong of a word," the Chesmire Cat replied. "More like she simply doesn\'t like him. This is why she usually uses him as target practice during your Spell Casting lessons. Well, then. I\'ll be off.

"Until we meet again, make sure to keep your heart safe. After all, the source of all magic is in a person\'s heart. I\'ve seen many Wizards and Witches stray off from the right path because their hearts became corrupted."

After saying those words, the Chesmire Cat disappeared.

It needed to tell Professor Rinehart about something important that it had witnessed along its journey before it headed to Westshire to meet an old friend, whom it had not visited for the past decade.
