YM778.TV Chapter 328: Why Are All The Good Men Taken?
"Promise," Ethan replied as he gave Lilith\'s hand a gentle squeeze.
A moment later, Ethan took out a bracelet made of blue pearls from his storage ring and put it on Lilian\'s wrist.
"These pearls have a calming effect, and they could also improve blood circulation," Ethan explained. "They will also allow you to channel water magic more efficiently."
Lilian didn\'t expect that she would be getting a gift from Ethan, so she was very happy.
Perhaps, out of happiness, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Ethan\'s cheek, making the latter stiffen.
"Thank you, Ethan," Lilian said with a flushed look on her face. "I will treasure your gift."
Ethan nodded with a smile while ignoring the two rascals inside his head who were repeating the words, "Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!" like the two bad influences that they were.
His relationship with Lilian had become closer, and he was certain that if he kissed her, she wouldn\'t resist.
But Ethan didn\'t want to take advantage of her feelings for him.
There was a right time and place for everything, and he knew that this wasn\'t the right time for it.
"Ah! I can\'t take this!" Ethan\'s Other Half complained and momentarily took control of Ethan\'s body.
A second later, he pulled Lilian close to him before returning the control to Ethan\'s body.
Before the young man could even wonder what happened, Lilian was already in his embrace and was looking at him with anticipation.
The Sea God\'s Trident had also appeared behind Ethan, lightly nudging the back of his head.
Due to Sebastian applying a bit of force on the Sea God\'s Trident, Ethan\'s lips pressed against Lilian\'s forehead, making him kiss the young lady in front of him.
"Hah~ this guy is such a pain," Ethan\'s Other Half commented. "Good thing, both of us are here to help him."
"I know, right?" Sebastian complained. "Since he has already decided to make her one of his future lovers, the least he can do is seal the deal."
Ethan wanted to complain to the two bastards, but before he could do that, Lilian cupped his face and planted a kiss on his lips.
A moment later, the young lady dashed towards the doors and left in a hurry.
"… Well, will you look at that?" Ethan\'s Other Half whistled. "Not bad for a maiden her age."
"She has more guts than our boy, I\'ll give her that," Sebastian commented. "With this, we don\'t have to worry about her forgetting about Ethan. Mission accomplished."
Ethan wasn\'t paying any attention to the two of them because he could feel Lilian\'s power stirring inside his body.
The Tide Bringer Legacy was reacting to the Legacy of the Rivers and Lakes, which belonged to the young lady who had kissed him a mere moment ago.
Ethan\'s body shuddered as the two powers combined, making him feel as if he had just cast the spell Magna Amplifico on himself.
"This is what happens when two compatible Legacies merge together," Sebastian said with an amused tone. "It\'s not just a simple one plus one equals two that results in just doubling your strength. The augmentation will become stronger the closer your relationship becomes.
"Just like all rivers lead to the sea, the sea creates storms and rain that travels to land, continuing the cycle and bringing water to the rivers and lakes."
Ethan nodded his head in understanding before stepping out of his room.
He would be there to give the Nightfall Academy a proper goodbye. Although he had some issues with Cedric, he didn\'t dislike Nightfall Academy as a whole.
There was also the fact that he had stolen the Ancient Wendigo from them, so he needed to put up an act that he had nothing to hide from them.
————————
At the Eastern Part of Brynhildr Academy…
The Flying Ship belonging to Nightfall Academy was now hovering a few meters above the ground.
The Captain was just making last-minute preparations before they embarked on their return journey back home.
Lilian was standing on the deck and waved at Ethan. He waved back, making Lilian smile from ear to ear.
For some reason, Clara was also waving at him, and he returned her gesture as well.
"Ethan, next year, make sure to transfer to Nightfall Academy!" Clara shouted. "I promise to take good care of you!"
Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret couldn\'t help but shake their heads when they heard the beautiful lady\'s words.
How could they possibly let Ethan transfer schools?
He would not allow him to leave even if he wanted to!
"Rinehart," Professor Barret said in a volume that only his friend could hear.
"I know," Professor Rinehart. "I already talked to Lilian earlier."
The two old men smiled evilly at each other.
Trying to poach their students in front of their noses? What a joke!
They would poach students from Nightfall Academy instead!
"Time to depart," the Captain of the Flying Ship stated. "All hands, to your positions!"
The Flying Ship slowly rose toward the sky. But, before they could leave, Ethan waved his wand and summoned a water dragon.
This Water Dragon flew swiftly in front of the Flying Ship and exploded into a shower of water.
A moment later, a rainbow appeared, making Lilian look at the handsome young man on the ground with a gentle gaze.
"Why are all the good men taken?" Clara clicked her tongue.
With a laugh from the Captain, the Flying Ship flew Northwest, and it soon disappeared from view.
It would be a while before Ethan saw Lilian again, but he hoped that the next time they met, both of them would become more powerful than ever before.
The Winter Break was only a few weeks away, and Ethan knew he had another challenge to face.
This time, he would be meeting with Luna\'s family, which was something that he was looking forward to the most.
