?Leah had a confident smile on her face as she stood in the arena.

Back when she was still studying at Brynhildr Academy, she had her fair share of duels.

It had been many years since she had been in the academy, and being here made her recall a lot of fond memories of her youth.

Lily didn’t know that her mother was also hailed as one of the Pillars of the First Years during her era.

She took pride in that achievement, so when she heard that her daughter achieved the same, she was very proud of her.

However, when she realized that the Dud in front of her was also one of those Pillars, she started to question in her heart if the academy still had the same standards when it came to choosing the Pillars of the First Years.

She couldn’t believe that a Dud could stand alongside the young geniuses of the magical world.

What surprised her the most was the unbelievable fact that the Dud was actually a Double Pillar Holder, which was achieved after defeating Langston Kerr in a duel.

She knew of the Kerr Family since they were one of the High-Ranking Noble Families in Eastshire.

It even crossed her mind to let Lily marry into that Family because not only would it allow them to form powerful connections in Eastshire, but the Kerr Family’s magical lineage was one of the best as well.

They had power, bloodline, and influence, all in one package.

And yet, one of their scions was defeated by a Dud.

This was why Leah wanted to know whether Ethan was using some kind of cheap trick to win his duels, as well as steal her daughter’s heart.

“Are you ready to be unmasked?” Leah asked the young man in front of her, who was holding his wand in his right hand. “Ready for my daughter to see what you really are?”

Ethan was very tempted to say that Lily had already seen his everything and that he had seen her everything as well.

However, he had a feeling that if he were to truly say that in front of Leah, the beautiful lady would go all out to castrate him.

‘Ethan, should I take over?’ Ethan’s Other Half proposed. ‘I’ll end this battle in less than a minute.’

‘No,’ Ethan replied. ‘I can feel that you are very angry. You might accidentally hurt Lily’s mother if you fight her now.’

‘What do you think of me? A child? I have more control over my emotions and power compared to you.’

‘I know, but I won’t take any chances. Don’t worry. You and I both know that I have the means to fight her.’

Ethan’s Other Half hummed in agreement.

Although the current Ethan didn’t have any magic power right now, he could still use the Moon Magic that Luna had stored in his heart.

The young man still hadn’t used the orbs of magic, and he was quite thankful that he could use his lover’s magic power at a time like this.

“Not going to answer?” Leah smiled. “Well then, I guess we have nothing else to talk about. Headmaster, if you please.” f(r)eenovelkiss

Professor Rinehart nodded.

“Both of you already know the rules, but I’ll repeat it just in case,” Professor Rinehart said. “If you fall off the arena, get knocked unconscious, or can no longer battle, the match will end. Are both of you ready?”

“Yes,” Leah replied.

“Ready,” Ethan answered.

“Then let the duel start!”

Lily, Lyall, and Conall watched the arena intently.

But before the battle started, a few witches descended on the arena to watch the battle as well.

Luna, Lilian, Nicole, and Emma came to watch the battle to show their support to the young man about to fight Lily’s Mother, who held the title of Frozen Death when she was still a student at Brynhildr Academy.

“This match-up is bad,” Lyall commented. “Ethan specializes in water magic, and Mother Leah uses Ice Magic. He will have a hard time fighting her.”

“That’s not the main problem,” Conall commented. “Even now, I still don’t sense any magic power coming from Ethan. He’s like an ordinary human right now.”

Conall, who had faced off against Ethan, had witnessed his display of magic. He could feel his magic back then, which confused him since he thought that Ethan was a Dud.

But now, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t detect any magic power coming from the boy.

It was not only him paying close attention to this battle. Professor Rinehart, who knew that Ethan was a Dud from the start, also wanted to see the outcome of this match.

He had tested Ethan’s Proficiency twice using the Appraisal Stone, but both times gave off the same result.

He was a Dud.

So he was also wondering how Ethan was able to use his magic.

He had already dismissed the idea of Ethan using magical batteries during his duels. This type of magical artifact was banned in competitions, and the safety magic in the arena would also react if such an artifact was being used.

Simply put, Ethan didn’t cheat in his previous duels, so the Headmaster could only think of one possibility.

Ethan was able to store magic power inside his body for brief periods of time. This was why he could only use magic on specific days and moments, allowing him to win his duels.

Professor Rinehart really didn’t care about this matter. In fact, he had always been on Ethan’s side.

However, understanding how the teenage boy was able to gain magic was still an important matter.

The last thing he wanted to do was accidentally send the young man on Missions where he might not be able to “recharge” his magic power.

He didn’t want Ethan to suffer, so although Leah was using a high-handed method to test the boy, Professor Rinehart allowed it.

The Headmaster knew that if he didn’t do anything to convince Leah that the young man in front of her was worthy of her daughter, she would definitely do her best to separate the two of them, which was something he didn’t want to happen.

“Gelida Agri!” Leah immediately turned the arena into a frozen field, and with it came countless icicles flying in Ethan’s direction.
