Chapter 791: Agreement Between Progenitors
Professor Rinehart rubbed his beard as he listened to Ethan’s report about what happened inside the Painting of Enlightenment.
After the young man had returned from his investigation, he didn’t get to make a full report because the Headmaster asked him to enter the Painting to see if Joanne and Hecate were safe and sound.
When he heard that his sister and his manor mate were currently inside the painting, Ethan didn’t hesitate and went there as fast as he could.
As someone who had experienced the dangers of the Painting of Enlightenment, he truly felt lucky that the Chloe and Lilian of the world of the painting worked together in order to save him from Nicole.
If not for the two of them, he might have been trapped inside the painting, unable to break free from the spell that the Witch of the East had placed on him.
Fortunately, he arrived at the right moment when Joanne and Hecate were facing off against the Demigod, Godfrey.
If he arrived an hour late, things might have ended differently.
When everything was over, he made sure to tell the two girls to never enter the painting again because it could be a very dangerous experience.
“You want to go to Midgard to investigate the Blood Fangs and the unusual movement of the Milesians?” Professor Rinehart asked.
“Yes, Professor,” Ethan replied. “Being passive might not be in our best interest. Since the Fomorians and the Milesians are planning to set foot in the Shire Continent, it will be best to take the initiative to spy on them instead.”
“Mmm.” Professor Rinehart neither agreed nor disagreed with Ethan’s statement. He kept on stroking his beard as if pondering whether he should give the young man permission to leave or not.
Sending students to do undercover work for the academy was a common practice in Brynhildr Academy.
In fact, Henry, the previous Head Prefect of Dud Manor, and one of the strongest students in the academy, would always undertake missions for them in exchange for Merit Points, as well as favors from the Headmaster.
But these students had only been allowed to take their missions when they became Third Years.
Ethan was only a second year, and yet, he was probably the strongest student in the entire academy as of this moment.
The reason why he hadn’t yet been designated as the strongest in Professor Rinehart’s opinion was due to the movement of the Founders of the Academy.
They had all chosen their own Champions, and they would be training them to help defend the academy in the future.
Alice, who was Professor Ophelia’s niece, was showing great promise due to the Legacy she acquired from the Founder of the Eques Manor, Eileifr Eques.
Although she was still lacking a bit when it came to fighting prowess, when compared to Ethan, the support she was getting from the Academy was allowing her to rapidly improve her abilities.
Chloe, who was keeping a low profile, was also a dark horse in Professor Rinehart’s opinion. He was aware that Ethan’s cousin had erected powerful barriers in the Great Eagle Forest, as well as the borders of Brynhildr Academy, strengthening its defenses.
The Chesmire Cat, Chessy, also favored Chloe and even went as far as taking missions for her to find some relics that had greatly increased her magical prowess.
The funny thing was that Chloe wasn’t chosen by any of the Founders of the Academy.
She was chosen by the Guardians of the Forest, and they taught her the gift of the Fir Bolg.
The one who was chosen by Magni Jaeger, Lily, was currently training within a World called the Lion’s Den, which was similar to the maze under Dud Manor.
If Ethan knew how powerful Lily was now, he would definitely feel very proud of his wife and probably take her to his bedroom to celebrate her growth.
“Are you going to do this alone?” Professor Barret, who was also inside the office, asked. “You don’t need any helpers?”
Professor Barret, who understood how Ethan gained his magical powers, was concerned about the young man going to Midgard alone.
“No,” Ethan replied. “I will be bringing one Witch with me.”
“And who do you plan to bring?” Professor Barret asked.
Ethan paused for a while because he was still undecided about who to bring.
Among his lovers, the one whom he could bring with him without problems was Emma.
Emma didn’t stand out as a student of the Academy since she had purposely made herself average in many ways.
Her disappearance wouldn’t cause a stir because she went out of her way to not make any close friends, aside from Ethan’s lovers.
“I’m still not sure, Professor,” Ethan replied honestly. “I still need to talk to them about this matter.”
“Understood.” Professor Rinehart nodded. “Come back to me once you’ve chosen who will accompany you on this trip. Barret and I will have a discussion on whether to grant you permission or not.”
Ethan knew that the Headmaster was concerned about his safety, so he didn’t say anything and politely left the office to return to Dud Manor.
Along the way, he saw Enzo cleaning the path with a broom and understood that his Protector was waiting for him to return from the Headmaster’s Office.
“Is there a problem, Enzo?” Ethan asked.
“I would just like to apologize to the Young Master for allowing the Young Miss to do something very dangerous,” Enzo replied. “We didn’t expect her to suddenly disappear while in the academy because we keep thinking that this place is safe.
“I have already assigned more guards to watch over her. Please rest assured that this incident will not happen again.”
Ethan wanted to say that it wasn’t the Old Catkin’s fault that his sister had gone somewhere dangerous.
However, he also understood that Enzo wouldn’t be able to face his mother if something really bad happened to Joanne while she was in the academy.
“Good.” Ethan nodded. “But don’t be too hard on yourself. Joanne is still young, so she is feeling very adventurous. Don’t worry. I made sure to tell her to not do anything dangerous without informing you first.”
“Thank you, Young Master,” Enzo bowed respectfully. “Your words mean a lot to me.”
Ethan was about to leave but decided to inform the Old Catkin about his plans to investigate
the Blood Fangs and the Milesians.
“Are you planning to fight against Godfrey?” Enzo asked.
“Yes,” Ethan replied. “He poses a threat to my friends and acquaintances.”
Enzo frowned. “Young Master, it’s a good thing that you’ve mentioned this topic with me. Let
me tell you something about Godfrey-no-to be more precise, I need to tell you about
Godfrey’s Father, Vlad.”
“You know him?” Ethan looked at Enzo in surprise because he didn’t expect one of the Patriarchs of the Protector Clans to know about the Progenitor of the Vampires.
“I don’t know a lot about Vlad, Young Master,” Enzo replied. “But I do know that he and our
Lord Ashmedai have a non-aggression pact. Since you can be considered as one of Lord Ashmedai’s kin, this agreement extends to you as well.”
“Really?” Ethan asked.
However, he was not only asking this question to Enzo but to his Other Half as well.
‘It’s true,’ Ethan’s Other Half replied. ‘But it doesn’t matter. Unless one of you is on the brink of death, Vlad and Lord Ashmedai won’t lift a finger to stop you from duking it out with each
other.
‘For them, having their kin fight strong opponents is a good way for them to gain experience and become stronger.’
“… Is that the reason why you didn’t tell me about this agreement?” Ethan inquired.
‘No,’ Ethan’s Other Half replied. ‘You have already fought against an Avatar of a Progenitor. It
might be time for you to fight against a Demigod and understand that difference between
them.’
Ethan, who thought that what his Other Half was saying made sense, nodded in
understanding.
Enzo, who thought that Ethan was asking him a question, confirmed that such an agreement
existed.
“Young Master, would you like to bring some of our people with you on this mission?” Enzo
inquired. “If not, you can ask Emma to directly send a message to her mother. She could arrange some people on her end. Although Caer Wydion isn’t close to the Capital City of Cashel, they will still be able to get there faster than you will.”
“Thank you, Enzo,” Ethan said. “I’ll talk to Emma about this later today. You just focus on protecting Joanne during her stay here in the academy.”
Enzo bowed politely and promised that he would keep an eye out for their Young Miss, who had gone on a little adventure without informing her handmaidens and the Protectors, who had come all this way to Brynhildr Academy for her and her brother’s sake.
