Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"Make sure to focus on your studies. Tell that to your brother as well."

"I will, Grandfather."

Lilian then glanced at her mother, whose attention was focused on the pancake on her plate.

Isabel didn\'t say anything at all after she had greeted them good morning, which made the young lady wonder if her mother was still thinking about the words that Ethan had told them yesterday.

Little did Lilian know that her mother was not at all thinking about the discussion that they had yesterday.

Instead, she was thinking about what had happened inside her daughter\'s room, which made her unable to sleep that night.

"Mother, is everything alright?" Lilian asked out of concern.

"I\'m fine," Isabel replied. "I just didn\'t get enough sleep last night because I was thinking about a lot of things."

"Oh…" Lilian had an apologetic look on her face because she thought that Ethan\'s words were still troubling her mother.

Ethan, on the other hand, ate while observing Gilbert and Isabel, trying to sense whether they had accepted his relationship with Lilian.

He had already noticed that his future mother-in-law would sneak glances at him from time to time, but she would always avert her gaze whenever he looked back at her.

\'Looks like mother-in-law has a lot of things on her mind,\' Sebastian said in a teasing tone. \'Maybe you shouldn\'t have been so rough last night.\'

\'The walls have eyes and ears,\' Ethan\'s Other Half commented. \'Maybe someone heard your nighttime activities. But knowing you, I\'m sure you did it on purpose.\'

\'That\'s right.\' Sebastian nodded. \'Usually, you would cast a soundproofing spell to make sure that no one would be able to hear anything, but you didn\'t do that last night. Did you just forget, or did you do it on purpose?\'

\'Would the two of you believe me if I said that I just forgot about it?\' Ethan asked.

\'Nope.\'

\'We won\'t believe you.\'

Ethan sighed in helplessness because he had indeed forgotten about it. Because Lilian was teasing him too much, he decided to seal her lips with a kiss.

He truly didn\'t expect that it would escalate into something more, making him forget that they were in his lover\'s family residence.

However, what was done was already done.

He could only hope that he didn\'t cause any disturbances during the night and give off the wrong impression to the people inside the Raylight Residence.

He wasn\'t aware that his future mother-in-law had heard everything, making her unable to fall asleep all through the night.

"Once you get back at the academy, will you just focus on your lessons, Ethan?" Gilbert asked. "If I\'m not mistaken, the academy usually sends their Elite Students to do undercover missions. Some of these missions are very dangerous, and there have been instances when the students have lost their lives.

"If you are ever given this kind of mission, make sure to prioritize your safety. Now that you and Lilian are in a relationship, you should take better care of yourself for the sake of those waiting for you back home."

Ethan nodded. "I understand, Grandfather. I will do my best to keep myself safe."

Lilian and Isabel glanced at the young and old man who were talking as if they were already in-laws.

After a good night\'s rest, Gilbert accepted that Ethan and Lilian truly loved each other. Separating the two of them by force could lead to dire consequences.

As a statesman, he understood that it was not worth it. Also, Ethan was a very promising son-in-law, and frankly, he didn\'t have a problem if Lilian were to marry him.

Of course, that was only his opinion.

At the end of the day, Isabel and her husband would be the ones to finalize their relationship.

But after everything that had been said and done, it was highly unlikely that they would oppose this union between Ethan and Lilian.

Isabel, who also understood what her father was thinking, sighed internally.

"Ethan, my father is right," Isabel said in a serious tone. "In a few years, Lilian will also become your wife, so make sure that you remain safe for her sake.

"Young people can be very reckless, and sometimes, they overestimate themselves in the process. As long as you know your limits, you will have a bright future ahead of you."

Ethan nodded. "You\'re right, Mother. I\'ll keep that in mind."

Soon, the four of them engaged in a lively conversation. Ethan understood that Isabel and Gilbert had already tacitly approved of his relationship with Lilian, which made the young lady happy.

A few hours later, Isabel and Gilbert escorted the pair back to their flying ship and bid them goodbye.

As they flew in the direction of the academy, the view of the City of Tarragon slowly became smaller, and Lilian felt the anxiety in her heart disappear.

Since her mother and grandfather had already approved of her relationship, it would only be a matter of time before her father and Ethan had a serious talk about their future plans together.

As Ethan\'s Flying Ship soared toward the sky, the sound of countless ice crystals shattering reverberated inside the Coliseum of Brynhildr Academy.

Alice had a solemn look on her face as she gazed at Nicole, who was holding an ice sword in her hand.

"You…" Alice frowned. "What happened to you?"

"Nothing," Nicole replied in an icy tone. "Come. Show me what you\'ve got."

The frown on Alice\'s face deepened as she once again summoned two Ice Swords in her hands.

Scattered around her were countless ice shards from the Ice Swords that Nicole had shattered with a single swing of her own sword.

Right now, she felt numb all over as she stared at the opponent in front of her.

"I\'m not going to hold back, are you sure about this?" Alice asked as she summoned another ice sword in her hand.

Several more ice swords appeared around her, dancing like satellites that were ready to strike anyone who came within their striking range.

"Do your worst," Nicole replied indifferently.

Taking a step forward, Alice charged with a determined look on her face.

Soon, the sound of ice breaking once again spread inside the Coliseum, as the two Ice Princesses fought with the power of Ice, wanting to know who among the two of them would remain standing at the very end.
