Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"Let's go," Luna said with a smile.

Ethan nodded and followed her outside of the Dud Manor.

The angelic beauty had already told him that they would be going to one of the places she visited whenever she wanted to be alone. A place that would allow her to see the moon-lit sky, and use her magic freely without fearing being discovered by others.

"Walking to that place will take a long time," Luna stated. "So, let's just fly there."

Without even waiting for Ethan to reply, the young lady took out her wand and pointed it at Ethan.

A moment later, the teenage boy started to float, which almost made him panic. The angelic beauty didn't say the name of a spell, and seemed to have cast the spell using chantless incantation.

Many Wizards and Witches could do it, but only those that had mastered the ways of Magic could do such a thing.

This was also true for Wizards who could cast magic without their wands. They were individuals that could harness the magic inside and outside their body, and use it as they pleased.

"Relax Ethan and take a deep breath," Luna said. "You will be fine."

Ethan took a few deep breaths in order to calm himself. After he regained his composure, he started to experiment a bit and swam in the air, making Luna giggle.

"Well, that is certainly one way of doing it," Luna commented before she, too, rose up in the air and flew alongside Ethan.

"Do you like to swim, Ethan?" Luna asked.

"Sometimes," Ethan replied. "When it is too hot, I often go to the river near our home and swim. How about you? Do you know how to swim?"

"A little bit," Luna answered. "At the very least, I won't drown. Now, follow me."

Luna flew Eastwards, soaring several meters above the ground.

Ethan, who had gotten the hang of flying, followed behind her. Nearly fifteen minutes later, the two landed on a small island, in the center of a lake.

"I didn't know that this place existed," Ethan said as he landed. "Not bad for a secret hideout."

Luna nodded her head because she felt the same way.

When the Chesmire Cat told her that there was a lake located at the back of the Academy that not many people visited, she thought that Chessy was just playing a prank on her. But, after seeing it for herself, Luna would often go on the island on the nights of the full moon, and practice her magic to her heart's content.

"Luna, you didn't say the name of the spell earlier. Can you do chantless magic?" Ethan finally remembered what happened earlier, so he decided to ask the angelic beauty how she was able to do it.

"Yes," Luna answered. "After understanding the key element of the magic, anyone is able to cast them without speaking the spell's name. It is similar to breathing. You don't say 'breathe', and just do it normally."

"Can you show me more of your Moon Magic?"

"Of course."

Luna slowly raised her wand high as if she was about to conduct an Orchestra to create the most beautiful music in the world.

Without warning, Luna made a slashing gesture of her wand, and a blade of light appeared, moving in the direction that she had slashed at.

This blade of light then transformed into a Silver Phoenix that circled around the island.

Next, Luna spun around, as if she was dancing, and a Silver Dragon rose up above her head, emitting a soundless roar that made Ethan shudder.

With another wave of her hand, a Silver Tiger appeared.

Lastly, she made a sweeping gesture to her right side and a Silver Turtle appeared.

These four creatures then circled around the air, before flying towards Luna and Ethan.

"Go!" Luna grinned as she flicked her wand, sending Ethan flying in the direction of the four silver beasts that were at least eight-meters long.

The young man wasn't even able to shout in surprise before he landed on the back of the Silver Dragon, who circled around the island.

Luna stood at the back of the Phoenix and looked at the handsome teenager with a fearless smile on her face.

This look of hers was quite different from the shy, and reserved girl that he often saw back in the Academy.

'Perhaps this is what the true Luna is like,' Ethan thought as he admired the angelic beauty who was now able to wield her magic to the fullest.

"Moon Magic is half illusion, and half creation," Luna replied. "It can create many things that may look real, but in reality are not. However, that Dragon that you are riding on can easily kill a Dire Bear if I commanded it, which makes it real at the same time.

"It also affects other things like High Tide and Low Tide. To a certain extent, I can also control gravity, and last but not the least, I can also ask nocturnal creatures, who rely on the moon, to assist me if need be.

"There was even a Werewolf that helped me when I got kidnapped in the past. He said that he heard my call for help, so it came to my rescue. That was ten years ago, and if I hadn't been saved that time, I don't know where I would be right now."

Luna had a nostalgic expression on her face as she remembered that one fateful encounter in the past.

A few minutes later, she showed Ethan many other spells that she could cast, changing Ethan's impression of her.

When both had their fill of magic, they once again landed on the ground in order to perform the ceremony that Chessy shared with him.

"Ethan, there is no guarantee that this awakening ceremony will work," Luna said in order to prevent Ethan from raising his expectations too much. "Also, even if it succeeds, you can only use this magic for a short period of time. Consider yourself lucky if you are able to use magic for an entire day."

"I understand," Ethan nodded. "Even if it's for a short while, I want to experience what it is like to use Magic."

As someone who could only use her magic for up to three days every month, Luna truly understood what Ethan wanted to say.

"Very well, let's begin," Luna said. "Please stand perfectly still, while I create the magical runes that will awaken your Magic Power. No matter what happens, do not make unnecessary movements, okay?"

Ethan gave the angelic beauty a thumbs up to tell her that he understood. Now that a chance had presented itself for him to use Magic, he would not be so stupid as to sabotage the wish that he had been hoping for ever since he arrived in the Academy.

Luna began chanting, and symbolic runes started to dance around Ethan like moths being attracted to the light. These runes made the blue-haired boy feel a tingling sensation in his heart.

This feeling slowly spread to the rest of his body, like cold water making him shudder subconsciously.

Slowly, but surely, he became aware of a faint sensation of something rising up to his chest.

And along with it, the thing that had been sleeping for the past seventeen years of his life, started to stir, and awaken from its slumber.

A moment later, Ethan fell into a trance. He was no longer hearing Luna's words, or even feeling the tingling sensation that was spreading inside his body like electricity.

He just stood there, like a statue, and waited.

Waited for his Magic to awaken.

A magic that only belonged to him.
