Wizard World Irregular

“I’m excited to see the matches today,” Noah said with a smile. “How about you, Ethan?”

“I feel the same way,” Ethan replied as he scanned the Grand Coliseum where all the students of Brynhild Academy, as well as their guests had gathered in order to watch the battle between Terra Manor and Jaeger Manor.

This was a very highly anticipated matchup, especially to those who knew that the Jaeger Manor had received some kind of a boost for unknown reasons, making their summoned Beasts and their transformations stronger.

After the incident with Alice a few days ago, Ethan just focused on his training. He had also told Chloe his secret, and his cousin even said that she would help him before his match started.

He was still conflicted about this development, but since it was already done, there was no longer a need to overthink things.

What would come would come, and Ethan simply wished that nothing bad would come out of it.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for the wait,” Professor Rinehart’s voice boomed across the entire Coliseum, making everyone quiet down.

“Today, the match between the Terra Manor and the Jaeger Manor will start. I’m sure you all have your favorite candidates, but only one team will be victorious today, so please, support them regardless of the results!”

The students all cheered as if agreeing with their Headmaster’s words.

Seeing that everyone was already pumped up to watch the magical duels, Professor Rinehart no longer extended his speech and passed the baton to Professor Barret, who served as the referee for the matches.

“Kurt Hale, Lily Langley, please step into the arena!” Professor Barret shouted, making the students cheer a second time.

Lily was the first one who appeared from the side of the Terra Manor and she walked while waving her hands towards the crowd, making the boys from all years cheer for her.

“She’s so cute!” one of the students commented. “I wish she was my girlfriend!”

“Bro, just look at your face.” a chubby boy, who was seated beside him, sneered. “You look like a sardine. How can you possibly have someone as cute as her as your girlfriend?”

Similar conversations were happening all around the Coliseum as everyone’s gazes remained fixed on the adorable girl, who had caught the hearts of many.

“Is she an angel?”

“Wow! She looks more adorable today compared to last time.”

“I think I’m in love!”

“Can you stop? You always say that whenever you see beautiful ladies.”

The Wizards in the Brynhildr Academy were always in the lookout for strong Witches, who could potentially become part of their Wizard Family.

The same could be said for the Witches.

They were always paying close attention to powerful Wizards, who had the potential to help them give birth to powerful Wizards and Witches, who would elevate their family’s ranks in the Magical World.

Not long after Lily’s appearance, Kurt also appeared in the arena. However, instead of cheers, resounding boos descended upon him.

“If you hurt Lily we will make you pay!”

“We are the Lily Fans Club! We will not allow our Goddess to be hurt by the likes of you!”

“Boys, make sure to remember Kurt’s face. If he does something funny to our idol, we will beat him in the hallways!”

The boys, who were part of Lily’s Fans Club, started to get rowdy, making the girls look at them in contempt.

Noah, who was seated beside Ethan, chuckled after seeing Kurt’s warm reception.

“It looks like someone is hated,” Noah smirked. “Be careful, Ethan. You will be fighting Lily next. If something happens to their little angel, you might find yourself in veeeeeeeery deep trouble.”

Ethan could only smile bitterly because he knew that his friend was right.

Currently, Lily was one of the most popular Witches in the Academy, and being the Pillar of Jaeger Manor only heightened her reputation.

Her win against the Ice Princess, Alice, also solidified her position in the hearts of the boys in the Academy for being a very powerful Witch.

Although they hadn’t seen how Alice’s and Lily’s fight had gone, because of the white mist that Alice had summoned during the match, that didn’t change the fact that the cute girl was the one who emerged victorious from their bout.

“Both of you already know the rules, so I will not repeat them,” Professor Barret stated. “Are both of you ready?”

“Yes,” Lily replied as she took out her wand.

Kurt, on the other hand, simply nodded and took out his wand in preparation to fight.

Seeing that both of them were ready, Professor Barret raised his hand and announced the start of the duel.

“Duel Start!”

Professor Barret then teleported outside of the arena, and paid close attention to the battle.

“Vinea Tumultus!” Kurt pointed his wand at the ground as he chanted his spell.

Immediately, vines spread out from where he stood and charged towards Lily like live snakes that had found their prey.

“Amplifico!” Lily pointed the wand at her chest before running away in order to avoid the vines that were headed her way.

Nicole had already stated that Lily might not use her Theriantrophy Abilities in the battle. The pink-haired beauty added that since Lily wanted to keep a low profile, she might just resort to using standard spells in her battles against Kurt and Ethan.

After seeing that the cute blonde girl had used the spell Amplifico, as her starting move, Ethan knew that Nicole’s hunch was right on the mark.

Lily ran and tried to evade the vines that were coming for her in every direction. Just as the vines were about to grab hold of her, Lily pointed her wand on the ground beside her and chanted another spell.

“Vocare Glaciem Vulpes!”

A magic circle appeared in the place where she had pointed her wand.

A second later, a meter-tall Ice Fox appeared, and immediately sprayed a cone of ice at the vines that were advancing in its Master’s direction, freezing them completely.

“Vocare Glaciem Vulpes!”

Lily summoned another Ice Fox by her side before smiling at her opponent, who still had a calm look on his face.

“So, this is how you want to fight eh?” Kurt smirked as he adjusted the glasses on his face. “Very well, I will play along with your little farce.”

The Pillar of Terra manor then stomped his right foot on the ground, creating a ripple of green energy that spread across the entire arena.

“Vocate Antiquo Treant!” Kurt declared as he pointed his wand towards the sky.

A moment later, the ground shook and a seven-meter-tall Ancient Treant towered behind him.

“Nice tree you have there,” Lily commented with a smile. “I hope it doesn’t freeze to death.”

“Don’t worry,” Kurt replied before adjusting his glasses. “I’ll end the match before that happens.”

Ethan, who was watching the battle, didn’t notice that he had already clenched his fists in anticipation for what was about to come.

Although he didn’t want to admit it, he wanted to see his two rivals unleash their full powers.

That way, he would be able to make the necessary preparations when it was his turn to fight them, and find a way to snatch the victory, no matter how hard it was.
