Chapter 383 It’s Time To Heat Things Up

?“We will finally see Lilian fight!”

“Wow! I wonder what she can do. She specializes in water magic, right?”

“Does this mean that Chloe is at a disadvantage in this match-up?”

“Who cares? She’s nothing compared to Lilian anyway.” The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

The First Years chatted with each other as they looked at the two young ladies who walked into the arena and were now facing each other.

Ethan, who was watching the two from the side, had a complicated look on his face. He didn’t know whom he should cheer for between the two since both of them were important to him.

“I’ll do my best to win, Ethan,” Lilian said with a smile. “I’ll win this for you.”

The boys, who were cheering on Lilian earlier, all quieted down. All of them then glared at Ethan at the same time, making Professor Lionel chuckle.

“So, the rumors are true, huh?”

“Damn! Don’t hold me back, brother, I’ll beat the crap out of Ethan.”

“Bro, no one is holding you back, okay? Go. No one is stopping you.”

Chloe stood in the arena with a composed look on her face.

Her grip on her wand was a bit tighter than usual, but aside from that, she didn’t show any signs of anxiety on her face.

“This is going to be fun,” Nicole commented on the side as she used her elbow to nudge the young man beside her. “Who do you think will win?”

“I don’t know,” Ethan replied.

“Let me change my question then.” Nicole smirked. “Who do you want to win?”

Ethan remained silent. This was a question that he refused to answer right now because either answer would bite him back in the future.

Since that was the case, he decided to remain silent and see who among the two ladies would win their face-off against each other.

“Are both of you ready?” Professor Lionel inquired.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds before Chloe averted her gaze and walked toward the back of the group with a faint smile on her beautiful face.

“... Did she just give Ethan the cold shoulder?”

“Fool, didn’t you see that she gave him the ‘Do you have a problem?’ gaze earlier? That gave me chills, bro. Not gonna lie.”

“Did the two of them quarrel with each other?”

“A breakup? Does this mean that I now have a chance?”

“Please, look at yourself in the mirror. Do you really think you have a chance when you look like a sardine?”

Ethan’s classmates started to murmur because they sensed that the two cousins seemed to have a distance between them.

They had originally thought that the two were inseparable and already considered Chloe as one of Ethan’s future brides or concubines.

But after seeing their interaction, the girls in the group who liked to gossip found something very juicy to sink their teeth into.

Ethan, who didn’t know what his classmates were thinking, wasn’t surprised by the outcome of the match.

He already knew that the winner would be Chloe because there was a stark difference between her and Lilian.

Lilian was a powerful Witch who had plenty of experience, but she was more of a supportive type than a full combat type witch.

Chloe, on the other hand, was a very aggressive person and would always try to end the battle as fast as she could.

When the steam covered the arena, he already anticipated that she would use a strong move that would decide the outcome of the battle then and there.

She took advantage of Lilian’s confidence, making the latter fail to anticipate that her opponent was already planning to end the battle in an instant.

Lilian’s face was beet red as she walked in Ethan’s direction.

She wanted to win spectacularly over Chloe, proving to Ethan that he made the right choice of accepting her as his lover.

But the outcome was far from what she had envisioned, making her feel embarrassed.

“Bravo!” Professor Lionel clapped his hands. “That was a great fight. Now, all of you remember the battles that you have seen today. Magical duels can be decided in a heartbeat, so never look down on your opponent, even if they seem to be at a disadvantage when fighting against you. Now, let’s choose our next combatants!”

Professor Lionel smirked before calling out two names, making the boys and girls cheer at the same time.

“Ethan and Nicole, come up on stage,” Professor Lionel stated. “It’s time to heat things up.”
