Chapter 385 You Sure Don’t Pull Back Your Punches, Huh?

?“Please drink this, Ethan.” Lilian handed the young man a potion to help him recover from his injuries.

This sight made all the boys in the training ground want to spit in his direction, but they all held back because they didn’t want the ladies to think that they were being salty.

Ethan thanked Lilian and drank the potion until nothing was left.

“You should still get yourself checked in the infirmary just in case,” Lilian said. “You still look pale.”

“Good idea,” Ethan replied. “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

Although he felt a bit better after drinking the potion, he was still in pain, so going to the infirmary was indeed the best option.

“How about me?” Nicole asked after she walked out of the arena. “No potions for me?”

“Here you go,” Lilian replied as she produced another potion to give to Nicole.

The pink-haired beauty smiled as he drank the potion that was offered to her. Although she looked okay on the surface, she was in fact in terrible pain. The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

“Okay, the two of you, head to the Infirmary,” Professor Lionel ordered. “You don’t have to go to your next class. I’ll have your classmates tell Professor Njal what happened, so focus on getting some rest.

“Lilian, since it’s your first day in the academy, you are not allowed to skip classes. Alright. Who wants to fight next? We still have half an hour before you head to your next class. We can still squeeze in one or two more battles into that time.”

Since there were merit points to be earned, many students raised their hands, hoping that they would be chosen next.

While this was happening, Ethan and Nicole summoned their Wind Dancer and Flying Broom to fly to the infirmary.

Both of them didn’t feel so good, so walking wasn’t an option.

As the two of them flew side by side, Ethan glanced at Nicole with a bitter smile on his face.

“Is it worth it?” Ethan asked.

“Beating you? Yes,” Nicole replied. “You’ve been winning a lot as of late, and you even gained Lilian as your lover. I need to bring you down a peg so that you’ll stay humble.”

Ethan had no witty reply to give to Nicole, so he just stayed silent until they reached the infirmary.

“The week just started, and we already have three injured people so early in the morning.” Professor Galena sighed. “Okay, sit down so I can check your conditions.”

But after asking Noah if he had seen Ethan, the silver-haired boy replied that he hadn’t seen him since breakfast.

Because of this, the young lady decided to see her lover’s condition. Along the way, she saw Chloe walking back to her Manor.

Lilian hesitated for a brief moment before deciding to call out Ethan’s cousin, whom she had fought in a duel earlier.

“Good afternoon, Chloe,” Lilian greeted.

“Good afternoon,” Chloe replied.

“Are you free right now?” Lilian asked.

Chloe nodded. “I still have two hours before my next class. Do you need me for something?”

“I just want to ask a question,” Lilian said. “But if it’s too personal, you can choose not to answer.”

“Sure.” Chloe eyed her cousin’s newest lover with a curious gaze.

She didn’t have much of an opinion about Lilian and only knew her through Ethan’s and Luna’s descriptions of her.

Her cousin and her best friend told her that Lilian was a sweet and kind girl. However, they also mentioned that although she looked innocent, she was a schemer as well.

“Do you regret breaking up with Ethan?” Lilian asked.

“... You sure don’t pull back your punches, huh?” the corner of Chloe’s lips curled up after hearing Lilian’s question.

“I’m sorry. I just genuinely want to know your honest answer,” Lilian replied.

Chloe didn’t answer right away. Instead, she crossed her arms over her chest and closed her eyes.

Lilian didn’t press her for answers and silently waited for Ethan’s cousin to organize her thoughts.

Finally, three minutes later, Chloe opened her eyes and smiled.

“I do regret it,” Chloe replied. “But at the same time, I felt relieved.”

“Relieved?” Lilian frowned. “Why?”

Chloe gave Lilian a mischievous gaze before answering. “No comment.”

After saying what she wanted, the young lady with long brown hair walked away, leaving Lilian to ponder the meaning behind her words.
