Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 301 Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing [Part 4]

Conall panted heavily as he looked at the young man in front of him who was already on his knees, coughing out blood.

At first, he thought that everything he had just seen was an illusion.

But his broken nose was enough evidence that what transpired in those brief moments was very real.

The last thing he remembered was Ethan roaring, and with it, the heavens roared with him.

Countless lightning bolts had descended upon him, illuminating the entire world in white.

However, before those countless lightning bolts could hit his body, the world around him shattered.

Conall then crashed into the arena, still bracing himself for the heavenly tribulation that didn’t come.

After realizing that he was back in the arena, he stared at the young man in front of him with a wary gaze.

The images of what transpired earlier were still vivid in his memory.

The Red Werewolf subconsciously shuddered at the thought of getting hit by that kind of attack. He was certain that even if he were to raise his defenses to the limit, he wouldn’t come out of Ethan’s all-out attack unscathed.

Even in his peak condition, Ethan could only maintain his Domain for five seconds.

However, he used the Third Level of his Legacy while he was grievously injured, so the already short duration of his Grand Aria became even shorter.

At that moment, a cry of anger reverberated in the arena as Lily jumped onto the stage and glared hatefully at her older brother, who had hurt the man she loved.

Lily was already in her Demi-Wolf form, and her fur was standing on end as if it were electrified.

Her hate-filled gaze bore down on Conall, making the Red Werewolf momentarily forget the pain he was feeling.

Chloe, Luna, and Emma all rushed toward the Arena with their flying brooms to check the young man’s condition.

“This duel is over,” Professor Rinehart appeared between Lily and Conall. “Both of you stand down.”

The Headmaster of the Academy didn’t know what happened in those few seconds that Ethan and Conall disappeared from his vision.

The next thing he knew, Conall’s body crashed into the Arena, while Ethan was already kneeling, coughing out blood.

Professor Barret also teleported beside Ethan and checked his condition.

A deep frown appeared on his face because his diagnostic spell had revealed that not only had the young man suffered from serious injuries—both external and internal – but several of his bones were also broken.

“Recuperatio!” Professor Barret tapped his wand on Ethan’s back, using his most powerful healing spell.

However, he didn’t really specialize in healing. The most he could do was only use the spell for First Aid in order to help stabilize Ethan before transferring him to the infirmary.

“I’ll take him to the infirmary,” Professor Barret said to Professor Rinehart.

Professor Rinehart nodded. “Go.”

Without another word, Professor Rinehart waved his wand around him. A second later, both he and Ethan disappeared from the Arena.

Chloe, Luna, and Emma, who were a few seconds late from landing on the arena, immediately maneuvered their flying brooms to fly upward.

Their next destination was the school’s infirmary, where the young man was taken by Professor Barret to get immediate treatment from Professor Galena.

Lily glared at her brother for a few more seconds before she, too, summoned her flying broom to fly towards the Infirmary to check on her lover’s condition.

“Are you okay, brother?” Lyall asked as she looked at Conall with concern. “He managed to break your nose.”

Conall waved his hand as if telling his sister that he was fine. His nose did get broken, but it wasn’t serious and would easily recover after drinking a rejuvenation potion.

Although he had very fast regeneration, Ethan’s attack earlier wasn’t easy to heal since it contained the power of a Legacy.

Even then, Conall’s broken nose would heal itself within half an hour without a problem.

“Are you satisfied?” Professor Rinehart asked Conall.

“Is he really a Dud?” Conall asked back.

Professor Rinehart smiled after hearing Conall’s question.

“Even I do not know the answer to that question,” Professor Rinehart replied. “We tested him twice with the Appraisal Stone, and the result was always the same. He is a Dud.”

Conall stood up before shaking his head in disbelief.

“If all Duds are like that, they would have already ruled the world,” Conall stated.

“Those are the same words that the Founder of Eques Manor, Eileifr Eques, once said,” Professor Rinehart replied. “He stated that if there were more people like Fortis Dud, they would have certainly ruled the world.”

Lyall, who was surprised to see her brother suffering from an injury, looked at the two men alternately with a frown.

‘It looks like my little sister’s boyfriend is a wolf in sheep’s clothing,’ Lyall thought. ‘I will definitely hook up with him if he and my sister ever broke up.’

Just like her brother, Lyall didn’t believe that Ethan was a Dud.

She had seen him fight toe-to-toe with Conall to the point that the latter was forced to transform into his Werewolf Form.

This was something that should have been impossible to happen.

But, it did, which made Lyall strongly believe that the handsome young man, whom her sister had chosen as her mate, was much more than meets the eye.

—————————

“Just what in damnation happened?!” Professor Galena almost had a heart attack when Professor Barret and an unconscious Ethan appeared in front of her. “Barret, what happened to that boy?!”

“I’ll tell you the details later, Galena,” Professor Barret said as he waved his hand to make Ethan’s body levitate. “Stabilize his condition first.”

The Head Healer of Brynhildr Academy clicked her tongue as she took out her wand to cast a diagnostic spell upon Ethan.

After seeing that the young man had suffered extremely serious injuries, she immediately tapped her chest and chanted.

“Summa Recuperatio!”

A golden light enveloped Ethan’s entire body, making him breathe a little easier.

However, what Professor Galena did was just the better version of what Professor Barret had done earlier.

It was only a way to help stabilize Ethan’s condition, buying herself time to take several potions of different colors from her storage ring.

The Healer of the Academy opened the cork of the potions one by one and waved her wand.

The potions inside of the vials rose up like long, thin threads that hovered above Ethan.

Professor Galena then waved her hand and instantly removed all of Ethan’s clothing.

His chest area was nearly black, along with the rest of his body.

Blood was still seeping at the corner of the young man’s lips despite being unconscious.

The older lady then pointed her wand at Ethan’s chest, and the potions that resembled a thin thread of different colors wrapped themselves around the teenager’s body, similar to how mummies were wrapped.

The only thing left exposed on the boy’s body was his bloodied lips, which proved just how serious his injuries were.

Professor Galena took more potions from her storage ring and repeated what she did earlier.

The old lady tapped Ethan’s lips, making them open slightly.

A moment later, the tendril-like potions flew toward his lips and slowly trickled down his throat.

Professor Galena made sure to control the amount of potion that Ethan was drinking to ensure that he didn’t choke while he was still unconscious.

Professor Barret, who was looking at this scene, suddenly turned his head towards the door of the infirmary and sighed.

He gave Ethan one last glance before walking toward the door.

The Professor had no intention of letting the ladies who cared about the young man see him for the time being.

He knew that Professor Galena was at the crucial phase in fixing the injuries that Ethan received in the battle.

To ensure that she wouldn’t be disturbed, he had to pacify the worried witches, who might tear down the infirmary door in order to see the person that they loved.
