Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 67 The Power Of Those Who Believe In Magic [Part 3]

The spectators looked at the handsome young man in a daze as he stood leaning on his pitchfork and panting for breath.

Above him, a nearly transparent image of a beautiful mermaid could be seen.

The Third Years, Fourth Years, as well as the Professors of the Academy, all thought of a single word as they gazed at the apparition above Ethan’s head.

“Resonance…,” Professor Rinehart muttered as he looked at the image of the mermaid that hovered in the air. “There’s no doubt about it. This is Resonance.”

Resonance was something that only very powerful Wizards and Witches could use. In order to do this, they must master their own Unique Magic, and resonate with the Core of their Magic Power.

The Cores of Wizards and Witches were the wands that they used to cast magic.

Drawing out the Unique Magic within their body, as well as the magic from outside, this created a Phenomenon that later gained the name Resonance due to its nature of resonating with the root of a person’s magic.

The First Years, and Second Years were still not aware of this term because only a handful of people could use it in Eastshire.

One of them was Professor Rinehart, the Witch of the Covenant, and the Head of the Magistratus.

There were two more people who had done this in the past. One of them was the Demon Lord, who terrorized the continent more than a century ago.

Last but not the least, was the founder of Brynhildr Academy, Fortis Dud, whose Resonance summoned an Ancient Dragon, who was immune to any and all kinds of magic.

Of course, there were other Wizards and Witches that could also use Resonance. However, these Masters preferred to keep a low profile, and don’t use it unless it was a matter of life and death.

“I feel… like… dying,” Ethan felt so exhausted, and dizzy that he felt like puking.

As if to answer Ethan’s complaint, the mermaid giggled before turning into a wand that flew back in his hand.

Ethan could feel that he was losing his strength in his legs. If not for the fact that he was leaning on his Pitchfork, he might have already collapsed on the ground, unable to stand up.

“Ethan, are you alright!” Chloe supported Ethan’s body, and prevented him from falling down.

“I’m not… alright,” Ethan replied. “I feel… like puking.”

“Don’t puke on me or I’ll punch you.”

“… Blargh!” contemporary romance

Ethan wasn’t able to hold back the fluids that rose up from his throat and threw up on the ground. Fortunately, he turned around and puked to the side, preventing his cousin from getting soiled.

He didn’t have the time to eat anything for breakfast, so he only puked water. Perhaps, the reason why he puked was because he didn’t have any energy left, which could have been prevented if he had eaten a bit before his duel started.

Chloe patted her cousin’s back and helped him feel slightly better.

Earlier, she heard Ethan’s loud shout, which prompted her to open her eyes.

The first thing she saw was his cousin striking upwards with his pitchfork, and sending a torrent of water in Langston’s direction, which resulted with the arrogant blonde boy flying outside of the dueling area.

Of course, for a moment, she thought that she was just hallucinating. But, after several seconds had passed and the scenery remained the same. Because of this she no longer hesitated and went to support the handsome teenager, who had fought on her behalf.

“It’s fine, let it all out,” Chloe said as she continued to pat Ethan’s back. “You’ll feel better afterwards.”

Ethan, who had calmed down a bit after emptying his stomach, wiped his lips with the back of his hand.

Perhaps due to how unexpected the end of the duel was, the students simply watched as Chloe supported Ethan’s body, helping him to stand up.

“A fine duel,” Sir Lionel said before clapping his hands. “I was expecting a painful defeat, but in the end, a miracle happened. Resonance… although it was just partial Resonance, it is still Resonance. Looks like I still underestimated this student of mine.”

“He’s also my student, you know?” Professor Violet said as if making sure that the Knightly Professor understood that Ethan was also one of her students.

“And mine,” Professor Njal commented. “I believed in Ethan from the very beginning. It is good to know that my trust wasn’t broken.”

“Shut up, Njal,” A skinny Professor said. “Pay up the bet. You bet that Langston would win, and I bet that Ethan would win. Before you say anything else, it would be best if we settled our bet first, right?”

Sir Lionel and Professor Violet chuckled as they watched Professor Njal’s face become beet red due to embarrassment. His earlier comments about trusting Ethan evaporated into thin air, as he paid the Skinny Professor the amount that they had agreed upon.

After seeing Sir Lionel clapping, the other students, who didn’t belong to Schwartz Manor also clapped their hands.

Suddenly, a cheer broke out from the members of Dud Manor making them run towards their member and lift him high up in the air like a champion.

Luna, who watched this from the side, pressed her right hand over her chest and smiled. She had been feeling very anxious since the start of the battle, but now, all of her worries disappeared completely.

While the members of the Dud Manor were celebrating, Professor Rinehart’s voice reverberated in the surroundings.

“The duel has ended,” Professor Rinehart declared. “The Winner of the Match is Ethan Gremory!”

“““Whoa!”””

The remainder of the students were finally brought out from their daze, as the Headmaster announced the result of the duel. However, he was still not finished with his declaration.

“I’m sure that all of you have witnessed how both fighters showed their talent in magic,” Professor Rinehart said. “However, there is one special magic that could only be used by those who truly believed in it. This power is called Resonance, and you will come to know more about it as you study here in the Academy.

“I pray that one day, more of you will be able to use it to achieve this feat. So, be diligent in your studies and always… always… believe in the power of Magic that lies inside your heart. As long as you are able to achieve this, you can make the impossible things… possible!”

The students once again cheered, giving Ethan a round of applause. The outcome was something they didn't expect, and the duel completely blew their mind.

While this was happening, Langston slowly propped himself up from the ground.

He then gave the blue-haired teenager a hateful glare, before leaving the Plaza of Beginnings without looking back.

He was so confident that he would win the duel one-sidedly that after Ethan managed to defeat him, he felt as if his cheeks were burning in shame.

In order to not see everyone’s pitying gazes, he decided to return to the Schwartz Manor and stay in his room.

Far away from the cheers that resounded in the surroundings.

Cheers that were not meant for him, but the Dud, whom he’d hated since the first day he stepped inside the Brynhildr Academy of Magic.
