60  The More The Merrier

Ethan wasn’t able to focus on his classes all day long because he was thinking about where and when he and Luna would perform the ceremony to awaken his magic power.

For him, this was the most important day of his life, ever since he stepped foot inside Brynhildr Academy. Because of this, he had been nagged a bit by his Professors because he noticed that his mind was wandering during classes, to the chagrin of his classmates.

Finally, when the bell rang, signaling the end of the classes, Ethan felt as if he was about to enter the gates of Heaven.

After saying his goodbye to Chloe, Ethan hastily returned to the Dud Manor in order to train his Martial Arts to help him calm down.

The ceremony wouldn’t be happening until eight in the evening because Luna said that she had some work to do in the Magical Trinket Club.

Two hours later, Henry reminded Ethan that it was time for dinner, so the handsome teenager returned to his room to take a shower, and went to the Grand Dining Hall of the Academy to eat alongside his friends.

“I’m very happy to see that you are being serious about your training, Ethan,” Henry said. “However, you shouldn’t forget to eat.”

“I’m sorry, Head Prefect,” Ethan replied. “I’m just looking forward to this weekend.”

“Are you going somewhere?”

“A mail arrived this morning from the owner of Brooms For All Seasons. He said that I should come over to see their latest product.”

Ethan felt that today was a very good day. Not only would he get the chance to awaken his magic, the owner of the Magical Broomstick Shop, Mr. Carwell sent him a letter asking him to see him during the weekend.

According to the old man, he had tested the Wind Dancer and deemed it to be safe to use even for Duds. Of course, in order to test this fully, he needed Ethan’s assistance to finetune the Flying Broomstick that even Duds could use.

Henry blinked in confusion after hearing the handsome teenager’s reply.

“Ethan, Duds can’t ride flying broomsticks,” Henry said in a serious tone. “Even if you manage to get one to fly, there is a possibility that you might crash later because our Magic Powers are unstable.”

“I understand, Head Prefect,” Ethan replied. “I’ll still go and check out what Mr. Carwell wants me to see. I won’t raise my expectations.”

Henry nodded. “As long as you understand.”

Duds didn’t really ride broomsticks because there had been several accidents that had happened in the past due to their unstable magic power.

Because of this, Professor Rinehart was forced to make a decree saying that all Duds weren’t allowed to ride on broomsticks without someone supervising them.

This was to ensure that there wouldn’t be any accidents, especially in the Academy where Duds were being oppressed by some of the Noble Factions, who wanted them out for good.

“Are you going alone? You want me to come with you?” Chloe asked. “I’m free tomorrow.”

“Why not.” Ethan smiled. “We have been in the Academy for a few weeks, so going out once in a while is good as well.”

Chloe nodded her head, but deep inside she was also very happy. Although Ethan didn’t think much about it, for Chloe, this was similar to going out on a date, which she hadn’t experienced in the past.

However, her happiness was short-lived because someone didn’t know how to read the mood, or was perhaps doing this on purpose to rain on her parade.

“I’m also free tomorrow,” Nicole said. “Mind if I tag along?”

“The more the merrier,” Ethan replied without even batting an eye. “It is nice to spend some time with frie-ahhh!”

The blue-haired boy cried out in pain after Chloe pinched his waist and gave it a twist.

“W-What’s wrong with you, Chloe?” Ethan asked as he looked at his cousin with a face filled with injustice.

“Hmph!” Chloe ignored him and focused her attention on eating.

She bit on its angrily as if the food was her mortal enemy, making Nicole giggle.

Ethan sighed in his heart because he didn’t think that Chloe would react in that manner.

Although he admits that he might have been too casual in agreeing to Nicole’s proposal, he thought that Chloe would be fine with it, since she and Nicole could be considered friends.

As Ethan was about to continue eating, Luna entered the dining hall with an exhausted look on her face.

“Club activities?” Ethan asked as soon as the angelic beauty sat in front of him.

Luna nodded. “Every time I am able to use Magic, the President asks me to help recharge the Magic Batteries of our club. Although I don’t mind doing it, being drained of your Magical Power for more than an hour can be taxing on one’s mental health.”

“I’m sorry to hear that, here, have some Lemonade,” Ethan poured a glass of lemon juice for Luna, which the latter accepted gratefully.

After drinking the entire cup in one go, the flower of the Dud Manor started to fill her plate with food, and ate without speaking a word.

Seeing that Luna didn’t intend to talk right now, Ethan also focused on eating.

An hour later, the handsome teenager and the angelic beauty walked back to the Dud Manor together. Luna was a bit tired from her club activities, so she planned to take a shower and take a short nap in order to regain her strength.

“If I don’t wake up at eight in the evening, just knock on the door in order to wake me up,” Luna said before yawning.

“And, what if you don’t wake up?” Ethan asked in a teasing tone.

Luna smiled. “Don’t worry. I will also set an alarm clock and put it near my bed. I know how important this day is to you. You might now know about it, but I am also looking forward to seeing you use magic as well.”

Ethan felt touched after hearing Luna’s words, and promised to wake her up if she overslept past their meeting time.

The two weren’t aware that on top of the Dud Manor, the Chesmire Cat was observing them from a distance.

‘It’s too bad I have to go somewhere tonight,’ Chessy thought. ‘I won’t be able to see the outcome of the ceremony.’

The chubby cat stretched a bit before once again turning invisible.

Professor Rinehart had asked him to investigate something, and since they had an agreement,

Chessy had no choice but to wander deep inside the Great Eagle Forest, and see if the Wendigo of the North had managed to find a way to bypass the barrier that was keeping it in place.
