Chapter 733: Before We Start, Do All Of You Know How To Swim?



After Herbology Class ended, Ethan left. Sabrina was left behind, wishing to immerse herself in the soundless screams of the Silent Mandrake, which had knocked nearly their entire class unconscious.

Right now, Ethan only had four classes to attend, which were Astronomy, Potions, Herbology, and Alchemy.

The reason why he only took these subjects was because he was receiving special classes from Professor Barret whenever his classes were over for the day.

And he wasn't alone.

After arriving at the Coliseum of the Academy, the young man saw the other Elite students personally handpicked by the lingering Wills of the Founders of Brynhildr Academy.

Ethan represented Dud Manor.

Lily for Jaeger Manor.

Nicole and Alice for Eques Manor.

Luna's sister, Rowan, for Schwartz Manor.

And to everyone's surprise, Marvin for Terra Manor.

The First Year, who had just entered the academy this year, was chosen by the Will of Svend Terra. This was also why Professor Rinehart personally processed his enrollment to the Brynhildr Academy.

However, it wasn't just them.

The other Four Pillars of the First Years of the Academy were also inside the Coliseum.

Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret deemed that they were also needed for this special training.

Joanne, Hecate, Lennox, and Heath had no idea why they were included in this special class. However, they would soon come to learn the reason why.

"All of you are gathered here today because you will play an important role in defending the academy against the threats that will come knocking on its doors," Professor Rinehart said. "All the Kingdoms have already made an announcement, so most of you probably know that the Fomorians might attack the Shire Continent in the near future.

"However, it may not only be the Fomorians who would pose a threat to the peace and stability of our land. Brynhildr Academy was built on one of the battlefields where the people of the Shire Continent and the Fomorians fought each other to the death. We have won that battle with the help of our allies, but it has been a pyrrhic victory.

"Now, history might repeat itself once again. Although there is no guarantee, there is a possibility that we will find ourselves facing the Fomorians on this very land.

"Because of this, we have decided to train all of you and a few other elite students to help defend the academy if ever we find ourselves in a precarious situation."

Aside from Joanne and Hecate, the other First Years were already aware that the Fomorians would attack the continent.

Even so, none of the academies in the Shire Continent planned to suspend their classes. With threats looming upon them, it would be most ideal to arm and teach their students to the best of their abilities.

The Combat and Spell Casting Classes had even intensified their training regimen to prepare the students for war.

"Grand Aria."

By the time the four First Years regained their senses, they only had enough time to realize that they were about to fall into a stormy sea, where giant waves were about to topple over

them.

Joanne immediately unleashed a pair of black wings to fly in the sky and avoid the wave.

Hecate, on the other hand, slammed her fists together before landing on the water's surface, treating it as a platform.

A moment later, she sent a kick toward the upcoming wave, dispersing a small part of it, allowing it to wash over her without touching her body.

Lennox cast the Levitation spell, Leviticus, on himself and floated a few meters above sea

level.

Unfortunately, the waves still hit him, pushing him back and drenching his body completely.

Heath, on the other hand, transformed into a White Tiger. Using his speed and agility, he ran atop the water's surface, evading and jumping over the waves that surrounded him. "Our training for today is very simple," Ethan said. "All you need to do is survive for an hour. Flying is allowed, but for as long as you fly, you will face a monster that will make you regret

flying."

As soon as he said those words, twenty giant Water Snakes, which the First Years had faced in the Coliseum, emerged from the sea.

But it didn't end there. Dainsleif also appeared behind Ethan, and eyed Joanne and Lennox, who were using spells to fly and float above the sea.

Lennox, who felt the Ancient Wendigo's hostility, couldn't stop himself from shuddering.

This monster was simply out of his league.

But since all the boy was doing was floating, Dainsleif ignored him for the time being. The Water Snakes could still easily target the teenage boy.

His gaze then landed on his Master's sister, who was looking back at the Ancient Wendigo

with determination.

"Don't hold back, Dainsleif," Ethan stated. "Even if she is my sister, make sure to fight her

seriously."

"Yes, Master," Dainsleif replied before turning into a black mist.

As if waiting for that moment, the twenty Water Snakes attacked the First Years as per the

order of their Master.
