Chapter 506 Stand Without Anyone’s Support

Ethan had spent an entire day writing runic symbols on the cards he had bought from the Cheating Cloak Store, owned by Ms. Laverna.

But, he didn’t draw symbols on all of them.

He deliberately kept one deck free from any writing because he planned to practice throwing these cards properly.

Thanks to Mimir’s Wisdom, he would learn to incorporate this fighting style faster, and add it into his arsenal.

No one had seen him using cards in battle before, and he planned to let it stay that way.

He would practice in secret so that his Trump Card would remain a Trump Card until the day he had to put it to use.

Seated beside him on the bed was Lilian, who was ready to kiss him so that he could imbue her magic power on the cards in his hand.

Ethan knew that he couldn’t kiss Lilian repeatedly to drain her Magic Power, knowing that if he did that, she would enter a lethargic state. Naturally, he didn’t want that to happen.

Right now, he was simply experimenting with how much magical power a deck of cards needed until all of them were ready for use.

“Are you ready?” Ethan asked.

“More than ready,” Lilian replied as she happily wrapped her arms around Ethan’s neck and gave him a sweet and long kiss on his lips.

Ethan enjoyed the kiss very much, but he knew that he should focus on the task at hand before he got carried away and pinned Lilian on the bed.

As soon as the kiss ended, Ethan closed his eyes, channeling the magic he received into the deck of cards in his hand.

The magic transfer was smooth, and yet, even after emptying his reserves, he only managed to charge a quarter of the deck in his hands.

“One more kiss,” Ethan asked.

“I’ll kiss you as many times as you like,” Lilian replied before giving Ethan another smooch, which made Lilith, who was seated on top of the table, look at the two of them with envy. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

She already made up her mind to confess her true identity to Ethan and was only waiting for Lilian to leave the room.

However, knowing that her Master was doing something important, she decided to patiently wait until he was done with his experiment.

It took Ethan three kisses before the deck of cards was fully charged with magic power.

However, he could tell that Lilian was showing signs of tiredness, so he no longer asked her to recharge his magic power.

Instead, he kissed her forehead and gave her a hug before thanking her properly.

The two then cuddled for a while before a tired yet satisfied Lilian left the room to rest in her own room.

Ethan was also very tired. Before he knew it, he also fell asleep after lying on his bed.

The anger she felt in the past had already vanished like the fleeting clouds in the sky.

She now recognized Ethan as one of the most powerful First Years in the academy, and she wished to have a duel with him.

But that duel would not be now.

Perhaps not even after a month or two.

She was still in the process of digesting Eileifr Eques’ battle experience, allowing her to learn his fighting style as if she had been using it since birth.

However, before she fought Ethan in a duel, there were three people whom she wanted to fight first.

The first one was Nicole, who was in the same Manor as her.

The second one was Lily, who had soundly defeated her in the Clash of Manors.

The last one was someone whom she didn’t recognize as a potential rival in the past.

But according to the chubby boy, Lyle, Alice should fight her first before she fought against Ethan.

That person was none other than Chloe, whom Lyle had praised more than once during his chat with her.

According to him, Chloe was currently undergoing three kinds of training regimens.

The first one was with Professor Nicola. Alice already knew that the Professor was a very powerful Witch, who was often compared to her Aunt, Professor Ophelia.

There was a time when her Aunt said that Professor Nicola had been invited thrice by the Magic Association to become a Magistratus, but she declined them each time.

This proved her high level of talent, so Alice didn’t dare underestimate her.

Chloe’s second trainer was none other than the Founder of Jaeger Manor, Magni Jaeger.

Lyle was certain that Magni’s original choice was Lily. But, he changed his mind at the last minute when he noticed Chloe’s true potential.

Chloe’s third mentor—or mentors, were the Overlords of the Great Eagle Forest.

The chubby boy didn’t go into much detail about what kind of training she was receiving from them, but he did mention that the Chesmire Cat, Chessy, also favored Chloe.

To this day, Alice didn’t know why Ethan’s cousin had suddenly distanced herself from him.

But she was starting to think that Chloe had decided to focus her attention on getting stronger rather than fighting for Ethan’s affection and sharing his love with his other lovers.

Of course, this was only an assumption on Alice's part.

She didn’t care whether Ethan and Chloe really loved each other.

The only thing she wanted to do was to challenge the strongest First Years in the academy and prove to her father that she could finally stand on her own without his support.
