Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Even so, he still dragged his body back to the Manor as soon as he was able to move his body, his motivation fueled by the pressing matter that Emma had shared with him.

There were a lot of questions that Ethan wanted to ask the assistant librarian, but because of the limited time, he put it all on hold. There was something very important that he had to do, and that was to see one of the most important people in his life, Luna.

'Remember, make sure to not tell her anything,' A voice said inside his head.

'We don't want to alert that Monster and let it know that we are aware of its plans.'

"I know," Ethan said through gritted teeth. "Please don't talk to me right now. Even talking is enough to make me feel faint."

The voice inside his head went silent, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

What happened a few hours ago was something that he never thought of, and his mind was still reeling from the revelations that he had no choice but to accept.

Just as he was feeling extremely faint, his vision caught an angelic beauty running in his direction.

The setting sun illuminated her features, making Ethan's heart skip a beat. If not for the fact that he was suffering right now, he would have appreciated the view in front of him more.

"Are you alright, Ethan?" Luna asked in a worried tone. "What happened?"

"I tripped," Ethan replied.

Luna naturally didn't believe his clumsy reason, but she didn't ask more questions. Instead, she supported him, wrapping his arm around her shoulders, as she helped him walk toward the Manor.

The young lady helped carry Ethan back to his room and gently laid him down on the bed to rest. She looked at his flushed face before pouring some water into a bowl and soaking her handkerchief inside of it.

A moment later, Ethan felt something wet and cool touch the side of his face. Luna gently wiped his cheeks, his forehead, and his neck, making him feel incredibly better.

"Thank you, Luna," Ethan replied. "I know that this might be a bit sudden, but please, sleep with me tonight. Although you already have the potion that will prevent you from dreaming, I want to make sure that you get a good night's sleep."

Luna smiled. "Actually, I was waiting for you to return because I was going to propose something similar. These nightmares are getting more frightening every episode, and I'm too scared to sleep all alone."

Ethan moved his left hand and held Luna's hand.

"Don't worry, I'll be here to protect you," Ethan said in a serious tone. "I will not let anything harm you."

Luna nodded her head shyly as she held Ethan's hand firmly while continuing to wipe his face with her handkerchief.

An hour later, the effect of the Aphrodisiac completely wore off, and Ethan felt infinitely better.

He even went to the Academy's Dining Hall to eat with Chloe and Luna. After dinner, they once again returned to their respective Manors since there was a strict curfew that must be followed.

No students were allowed to prowl the academy grounds after sunset while the barrier in the Great Eagle Forest was being repaired.

After taking a shower and wearing her nightgown, Luna went to Ethan's room to spend the night.

It was only seven in the evening, and it was too early to sleep, so the two decided to chat about random things.

Like what they planned to do after returning from their first missions, and what they would use their credits for.

Before the two knew it, it was already nine in the evening, and Luna was also showing signs of drowsiness.

"Luna, you know, I am very thankful to you," Ethan said while holding the young lady's hands. "If not for you awakening my Magic, I might have suffered a lot in this academy, so thank you."

"You don't have to thank me," Luna replied. "I just did what I think was right."

The young lady then looked out the window of Ethan's room, where the full moon could be seen.

It was on the night of the full moon when she had performed the ceremony to awaken Ethan's Magic, and since then, her life had never been the same.

After looking at the full moon for a few seconds, Luna shifted her gaze to the handsome young man in front of her.

She was older than Ethan by a year, and yet, there were times when she felt like he was more mature than her. Of course, the teenage boy was quite childish at times, but this was part of his charm that attracted people to him.

The two stared at each other for nearly half a minute before Ethan took the initiative to move his face closer to her.

Luna closed her eyes, and a moment later, he felt Ethan's lips press over her own.

The kiss was short but extremely sweet, making Luna feel like her heart was melting.

When their kiss ended, the angelic beauty looked at Ethan with expectation, and the latter gently laid her down on the bed.

"Luna, I…"

Ethan wasn't able to finish whatever he was going to say because a delicate finger pressed over his lips, preventing him from saying the rest of his words.

Luna then shook her head and smiled at Ethan.

Although she didn't say anything, he understood what she was trying to say.

Now was not the time.

That was the hidden meaning behind Luna's gesture, and Ethan decided to respect it.

He then held her hand and kissed her palm before lowering his head to kiss her lips once again.

After that, he kissed her forehead, her cheeks, neck, and shoulder.

Seeing that she showed no resistance, Ethan became a bit bolder and slowly slid the right strap of her nightgown down her shoulders, revealing more of her pale white skin.

Luna took in a deep breath and prepared herself for what was about to come next.

Her chest rose and fell as her heart started to beat wildly inside her chest.

Ethan looked at her from above and smiled.

"You're beautiful, Luna," Ethan softly whispered before lowering his head to plant a kiss just an inch below her collarbone and lightly biting on it.

A few seconds later, he pulled back his head and looked at the red mark that stood out among the whiteness of her skin.

Using every bit of his willpower, he once again raised the right strap of her nightgown, returning it to its place.

"Aren't you going to continue?" Luna asked in a teasing tone.

But her words failed to hide how embarrassed she really was. Her face was already beet red, much redder than the mark that Ethan had left on her body.

Seeing her hide her shyness made Ethan smile.

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop if I continue," Ethan replied honestly. "Now is not the time, right?"

Luna sighed both in relief as well as disappointment before nodding her head.

"If possible, I want to do this properly when both of us are sure of our feelings," Luna said softly. "There's also Chloe to consider."

Ethan nodded and laid down on the bed beside her, hugging her close to him, not wanting to let her go.

He didn't care who it was.

May it be a Wendigo, a Dragon, or any kind of Magical Creature.

All those who wished to harm the women he cared for, would have to go through him first.
