Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 960: This Might Not Be A Bad Thing

"Congratulations, Ethan," Professor Rinehart said with a smile. "How does it feel to marry a Mermaid Princess?"

"I feel like my hips will give way if I'm not careful," Ethan replied. "Mermaids are... incredible."

Professor Rinehart chuckled, seeing that the expression on Ethan's face was teetering between happiness and pain.

Truth be told, he didn't expect that the young man would contact him half a day after his wedding.

He knew that Ethan would only do this if he had something very important to say.

And just as he expected, after exchanging a few pleasantries, the young man finally discussed the topic of the three Mermaid Princesses coming to the academy as exchange students.

The Headmaster of Brynhildr Academy found this proposal quite amusing.

However, it had a certain appeal that he couldn't deny. If the three Mermaid Princesses were to really stay in the academy for a period of time to learn more about Wizards and Witches, it might give them a different perspective from what they were already used to.

In return, the other students would also learn many things about the Ocean Races. This was a big deal, for contact between the two sides had been few and far between.

Sometimes, these confrontations even end up in skirmishes, which only left bad blood between the two sides.

"Although I am the Headmaster of the Academy, I feel like I need to discuss this with the Professors before making a decision," Professor Rinehart replied after carefully thinking about it. "This is a very important matter, so unless the majority approve of it, I have no choice but to reject this proposal."

Ethan nodded. "I understand. Thank you, Professor."

"Is there anything else that you'd like to tell me before you go?" Professor Rinehart asked with a smile. "You just got married, so it will be best if you focus your attention on your beautiful wife instead of an old man like me."

Ethan smiled because he was very tempted to say that his wife was older than Professor Rinehart by hundreds of years.

But since he didn't want to end the discussion awkwardly, he kept his thoughts to himself and bid the Professor goodbye.

When the Crystal Ball finally lost its luster, Ethan returned it to his storage ring before heaving a sigh.

Truth be told, he expected Professor Rinehart to flatly reject the idea without giving it any consideration.

But seeing that there was a chance of it happening, he felt that he should praise his wife for thinking outside of the box.

Sure, he could bring Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel to land and let them stay in Limeburgh Town for a while.

They could still study the ways of those who lived on land without problems, and they wouldn't need to ask for permission from anyone.

But that wasn't what Illumina wanted.

She wanted the two Mermaid Princesses to understand the Wizards and Witches, as well as the current views of the Land Dwellers towards the Ocean Races.

This was a long-term plan, and she couldn't do it alone.

Fortunately, they were a long-lived race, so they had the time to better understand the Humans, who were the dominant race in the world.

When Ethan arrived at the balcony overlooking the city, he was surprised to see that Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel were talking with Illumina.

Teas and several desserts were laid out on the table while they talked with each other.

The young man didn't join them right away. Instead, he observed them from afar.

The three Mermaid Princesses were truly beautiful, and each of them had their own distinct charms.

Illumina and Princess Wilhelmina looked like valiant warriors, while Princess Ariel looked like a delicate flower.

If the two Mermaid Princesses were meant to protect other people, Princess Ariel was someone meant to be protected.

She was someone who stayed at the rear of the formation, supporting the others with her healing ability.

Illumina would handle the offense, while Princess Wilhelmina would handle the defense.

Together, these three Mermaid Princesses wouldn't lose against a Colossi because they were only a step away from such beings.

As if sensing his gaze, Illumina looked in his direction with a smile.

Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel followed her gaze, and they saw Ethan, leaning against the wall and observing them from a distance.

Since his presence had already been discovered, the young man walked in their direction with

a smile on his face.

Each step he took was filled with confidence, which made Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel look at him with interest.

"I have talked to the Headmaster, and he said that he will consider your proposal, Illumina," Ethan said before planting a kiss on his wife's cheek.

He then sat down beside her and held her hand.

Seeing this gesture of love, the two Mermaid Princesses remained silent and continued to observe the two newlyweds who had just finished their first night together.

Ethan then glanced at Princess Wilhelmina and Princess Ariel before shifting his attention back to Illumina.

"Have you told them about it?" Ethan inquired.

"Not yet," Illumina replied. "I was about to, but since you came, I got distracted."

Ethan could only smile bitterly because he didn't know that Illumina had gathered the two Mermaid Princesses to discuss this matter.

Princess Ariel, who was smarter than Princess Wiilhelmina, immediately picked up the suggestive meaning behind Ethan's words.

"What is it?" Princess Ariel asked. "You invited us to talk about something?"

Princess Wilhelmina straightened her posture because she felt that this was going to be an important discussion.

"Actually, since Ariel is going to accompany us to land anyway, I thought that it would also be

a good idea to let Wilhelmina join us as well," Illumina answered. "I asked Ethan if it is

possible for us to stay in Brynhildr Academy, where he is currently studying.

"That way, we will be able to learn more about Wizards and Witches, as well as other important information about the Land Dwellers. After pondering on this matter, I believe that we should enter the academy as exchange students."

"Exchange students?" Princess Wilhelmina asked, shifting her attention to Ethan. "Is that

even possible?"

"I'll know in a few days," Ethan answered. "So until then, I can't say anything for sure."

Princess Ariel, who weighed the pros and cons of this idea, smiled faintly.

"This might not be a bad thing," Princess Ariel commented. "I've always wanted to experience what it's like to live on land for a period of time without worrying about getting attacked by Humans. I support this idea. I hope that the Headmaster will agree to your

proposal, Illumina."

Princess Ariel had tried to mingle with the Humans in the past, but due to her beauty, she encountered several problems, forcing her to return to the sea.

Now that there was a good opportunity to start all over again, she was more than willing to study at the academy where Wizards and Witches were taught.

She believed that if given enough time, she would be able to get a good grasp of the political and geographical environment of the Human world.

If that happened, her previous goals to better understand the Human world would finally be

realized.

Perhaps, by then, she would be able to pursue whatever she wanted and see the world outside of the domain of the Ocean Races.
