YM778.TV Chapter 496: Guests In The Forbidden Section Of The Library
After breakfast, Nicole approached him, and told him that she needed his help. Of course, Ethan was more than willing to help her, so he agreed right away.
He just didn\'t expect that the help that she needed was to "keep herself warm" by sticking close to Ethan like glue.
The four of them were currently inside the Forbidden Section of the Library after getting permission from Professor Barret.
Originally, Ethan was the only one who was supposed to go. But, since the Professor understood that today was the weekend, and the young man\'s rest day, he decided to make an exception and allow the three ladies to accompany him.
Of course, there were some conditions.
No one was allowed to hold the Ancient tomes and texts aside from Ethan, but they were granted permission to look at it if they wished.
"So, what\'s really happening to you, Nicole?" Luna asked because she could tell that Nicole didn\'t approach Ethan in a romantic way. "Are you hurt somewhere?"
"No, Luna," Nicole replied, while she continued to lean her head on Ethan\'s shoulder. "I just want to feel warm. My body is very cold right now. Want to touch my hand and feel it for yourself?"
Nicole extended her hand to Luna, and the latter placed her hand over it out of curiosity.
A few seconds later, the angelic beauty\'s eyes widened in shock when she realized that Nicole\'s hand was indeed as cold as ice.
Lilian, who saw Luna\'s surprised expression, also went to hold Nicole\'s hand and had the same reaction.
"It is indeed very cold," Lilian stated. "Just how are you able to function properly with that kind of temperature in your body?"
"Correction, I can\'t function properly when I\'m feeling cold like this," Nicole replied. "It hurts, and I usually have no choice but to endure it for several hours until it fades away."
Ethan, who was about to flip the page of the book, reached out to hold Nicole\'s hand.
The moment his hand touched her, Nicole suddenly felt the cold fading away, making her sigh in relief for the umpteenth time.
Since her arrival, Ethan could feel the coldness that was emanating from Nicole\'s body. However, for him, the coldness was like a refreshing breeze that filled up his magical reserves slowly.
This was the first time that he experienced something like this because usually, he only gained magical power if someone kissed him.
Since he was gaining magic, and helping his friend at the same time, Ethan continued to hold Nicole\'s hand, while reading the tome in front of him.
He didn\'t even mind the icy mist that was rising up in the air where their hands were joined together.
Luna and Lilian, on the other hand, found this situation quite interesting.
Nicole, who was finally beginning to feel relief, could feel the intensity of the coldness in her body subsiding.
However, it wasn\'t as fast as the time when Ethan hugged her, nearly making all the coldness in her body disappear in just two minutes.
Unfortunately, she felt that it wasn\'t right to ask Ethan for a hug, especially in front of his two lovers.
Because of this, she settled for the slow and steady comfort that she was feeling, and frankly, she didn\'t mind that the absorption process took a little while longer.
"Can you really read this tome?" Lilian asked as she moved her chair to sit beside Ethan, just like what Nicole did, so that she could lean her body on him.
"Yes," Ethan replied. "Actually, this tome is a diary of sorts from a traveler that journeyed through Midgard in the past. It\'s actually quite funny because he has written about everything he experienced on a daily basis, including mundane things like taking a bath with monkeys in a hidden spring in the mountains."
"That does sound interesting," Luna commented. "Did you find any other interesting things in his diary?"
Ethan nodded. "Yes, actually I found something very interesting. This person was also a wielder of Moon Magic."
Luna\'s eyes widened in surprise because she didn\'t expect that the owner of the Diary was someone who had the same power as her.
"It\'s a bit disorganized, so let me finish reading everything first." Ethan looked at his lover with a knowing smile. "I\'ll tell you everything once I organize the information I\'ve gained from reading his diary.
"He has invented some unique spells like… removing stains from clothes using magic, as well as using moon magic to find someone or something that you have lost. I will explain the theory behind it to you later. I\'m sure that once you grasp how it works inside your mind, you will be able to cast these spells as well."
Luna nodded her head in excitement because her knowledge about Moon Magic was very limited.
Most Magicians who had this power had to discover how to use it through trial and error.
Having a record of someone who managed to create their own spells using Moon Magic was a great boon for Luna, who was now able to use her magic for an entire week.
She didn\'t know how it happened, but after she and Ethan embraced each other, her magic power had become more powerful, and lasted longer than usual.
Just as Ethan was reading the book, he saw something move in the corner of his vision.
Raising his head to look in the direction where he saw the thing that moved, Ethan found nothing but an old bookshelf.
Thinking that he was just imagining things, Ethan shifted his attention back to his book. However, something once again moved in his peripheral vision, making him look at the bookshelf again.
But, just like what happened earlier, he once again saw nothing.
However, when he started reading again, the same thing happened.
This time, Ethan devised a plan.
He pretended to read the book for a few seconds before turning his head
Luna, Lilian, and Nicole, who didn\'t understand what Ethan was doing, looked at the bookshelf at the same time he raised his head, and saw a boy\'s head pop out of it, making Luna and Lilian scream at the same time.
