Chapter 722: The Strongest Pillar Of The First Years [Part 2]

Ethan stood at the eastern edge of the Coliseum’s Arena, while all the First Years stood on the western side.

This was the first time that an Initiation Ceremony was done in this manner, and George was grinning ear to ear because he thought that this was a genius move.

Of course, whether Ethan would be able to overcome this challenge was something that even he wasn’t able to predict.

The stands were filled with the rest of the students and Professors, most of whom were thinking that Dud Manor might have bitten more than they could chew.

While they recognized that Ethan was indeed powerful, he was but a single man about to face off against a hundred and fifty students on his own.

Also, while he was indeed a Second Year in the Academy, many believed that the one-year difference wouldn’t be enough for him to be able to overcome the situation.

However, there were individuals who were looking forward to seeing just how much he had grown during his vacation away from the academy.

Professor Rinehart, Professor Barret, and Professor Ophelia were among the people on the faculty who were quite excited to see this battle.

They had already placed the protection charms within the Arena, so anyone who “died” in it would immediately be teleported to a safe location.

Just like the Zombie Dungeon that Ethan had participated in in the past, there were safety measures put in place in order to ensure that the students wouldn’t get seriously injured or, worse, killed in this event.

“I’ll tell you this now. None of you should even think about underestimating my brother,” Joanne said with a faint smile on her face. “If you’re going to fight him, you must fight with everything you have, or else, you’ll be defeated.”

“Then, if I defeat him, will you give me a reward?” Lennox asked in a confident tone.

Joanne chuckled before nodding her head. “Why not? If it’s something that I can give, then I agree to this condition.”

“Wait, I’d like to join this agreement as well,” Heath commented.

“M-Me, too?” Marvin said cautiously. “Can I join?”

Joanne smirked. “Everyone can join. Anyone who defeats my brother will get a reward from me.”

All the First Years, especially the guys, became more motivated after the beautiful girl’s declaration.

Everyone was raring to go as they looked at the young man, who was the Strongest Pillar of the First Years a year ago.

Ethan, who had also heard Joanne’s declaration, couldn’t help but sigh internally.

‘Your sister is a real troublemaker,’ Sebastian commented. ‘But she only said those words because she’s confident that you won’t be defeated that easily.’

‘You better ensure that you meet her expectations,’ Ethan’s Other Half commented. “That way, no one would try to do anything to her. After all, they know that they will get clobbered by you if they try to do anything funny to your sister.’

Ethan smiled faintly as he raised his hand to summon his wand.

His action made Sebastian and his Other Half arch an eyebrow. Usually, whenever Ethan fought, he made it a point to always summon his Sea God’s Trident first.

The two weren’t the only ones surprised by his action.

Nicole smiled faintly after seeing this, recalling the time she sparred with Ethan in secret back when they were still in Southshire.

They deliberately went somewhere a good distance away from Northlake Forest to ensure that no one would be able to see their battle.

And during that time, Ethan didn’t use any of his Tridents against her.

He only used his wand.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I welcome all of you to this year’s Initiation Ceremony!” George shouted. “Today is a very exciting day because the New will be fighting against the Old! Who will win? Last year’s Strongest Pillar of the First Years, or the new blood of the academy?!

“Since all of you are very excited to know the answer, let’s no longer delay this tradition and start the battle!”

George raised his hand before swinging it to the side.

“Duel Start!”

As soon as the signal was given, Lennox immediately pointed his wand at the Second Year Student whom he wanted to defeat, and cast one of his strongest spells.

“Magna Fragor!”

A giant fireball the size of a car materialized at the tip of Lennox’s wand and flew toward Ethan’s direction.

Ethan stood still and made a slashing motion of his wand.

A crescent blade of water sliced the giant fireball in half, making it explode dozens of meters away from where he stood.

Lennox smirked. His first attack was only an opener spell, allowing him to gauge his opponent’s abilities.

The other First Years, on the other hand, no longer hesitated and collectively unleashed hundreds of spells in Ethan’s direction.

“Glacies!”

“Ventus!”

“Spiritus!”

“Tellus!”

Rays of different colors all flew in Ethan’s direction, making the latter smile faintly. Taking a step forward, the young man evaded the first spell that was about to hit him by casually stepping to the side.

He repeated the same process and moved as if he was dancing, making Joanne smirk.

Ethan dodged what he could and blocked what he couldn’t.

The faint smile on his face made Lily shake her head and Luna sigh helplessly.

“This guy is enjoying himself,” Lily said.

“Right,” Luna commented.

“I just hope he doesn’t take his top off like last time,” Lilian narrowed his eyes. “We don’t want the girls from the First Years to fawn over him too.”

The three ladies both nodded their heads at the same time-this was indeed something they didn’t want to happen.

Meanwhile, there was another young lady watching Ethan’s every move with a critical gaze.

Alice, who had inherited the fighting prowess of Eileifr Eques, whom many considered to be the strongest Magical Weapon Master of Eastshire, couldn’t help but be surprised at the young man’s drastic improvements during the time that she hadn’t seen him.

She had seen Ethan fight in the past, and his fighting skills weren’t really that great, especially

his footwork.

In her opinion, he only managed to win in the past because he was overwhelming his opponents with his Partial Resonance, which gave him an edge in battles.

But now, she could no longer say such a thing. A glance was enough to tell her that Ethan was

no longer the same person he was a year ago.

‘He has improved a lot, hasn’t he?’ the ghost of the boy, Lyle, appeared beside Alice with his

arms crossed over his chest.

‘Yes,’ Alice replied. ‘Did you teach him how to fight, too?’

‘Of course not. As much as I wanted to teach him my fighting style, the Founders of the academy made a vow that they would only choose one inheritor to acquire their treasures.

‘But you cheated and appointed me and Nicole as your inheritors though.’

Lyle coughed lightly and pretended that he didn’t hear the young lady’s words.

What he did was not considered cheating in his book because, at most, he only gave Nicole the “Promise of the Dragon King” while he gave Alice his Legacy.

‘Just continue watching him,’ Lyle stated. “Things are about to get very interesting-it’s now,

actually.’

At that exact moment, the First Years had encircled Ethan and unleashed an array of spells that were nearly impossible to dodge.

The Pillars didn’t move and only observed the Second Year. They wanted to know more about Ethan’s fighting style first so that they could strategize on how to defeat him.

After seeing his movements, all of them knew that unless they could trap him, like the other First Years were doing, they would be unable to land a direct hit on their opponent.

As the spells congregated with Ethan at its center, he pointed his wand in front of him and

chanted a spell with confidence.

“Contego.”

A blue barrier surrounded him and tanked all the spells that flew in his direction. Seeing this scene, Lennox didn’t hesitate and also unleashed a continuous barrage of Giant Fireballs, thinking that it would overpower Ethan’s barrier and destroy it.

Heath and Marvin joined in as well, thinking that there was no better opportunity to defeat

Joanne’s brother than now.

Joanne and Hecate, on the other hand, didn’t move and simply stared at the countless explosions that came from the location where Ethan stood.

The First Years were relentless and didn’t stop attacking, casting one spell after the other.

Finally, after two minutes of non-stop bombardment, everyone stopped firing their spells and looked at the dust cloud in front of them.

Lennox waved his wand and dispersed the dust cloud, wanting to see Ethan’s sorry state. However, when the visibility returned, the ladies’ faces reddened. Ethan was standing without his shirt on, again, and was casually tying his long hair up with a wolf hairpin in order

to fix it in place.

His wand was between his lips, treating it like a rose from those scenes in dramas and theatrical plays. This scene, which was overflowing with masculinity, made the girls among the First Years blush, infatuated with the handsome senior in front of them.

At that moment, Joanne heard a sigh beside her, making her glance at Hecate, who had an annoyed expression on her face.

“What a sinful guy,” Hecate muttered. “He shouldn’t show off his body like that to everyone, especially around girls.”

It was not only Hecate who was having the same thoughts.

Luna, Lily, Chloe, Lilian, Emma, and Lilith all sighed at the same time. Their lover was now in

a situation they had hoped wouldn’t happen again.

Even Cedric couldn’t help but click his tongue in annoyance. Because of Ethan, he made sure

to properly train his body so that he would develop a good physique just like the person who

defeated him.

However, although he had made great improvements in that matter, he had to admit that he was still far from getting that godly physique that would make any lady look at Ethan as if he was something delicious to eat.
