Chapter 769 Hecate’s And Joanne’s Adventure [Part 1]

“Are you still mad that Sir Ethan didn’t take you with him?” Hecate asked Joanne, who had decided to sleep in her room tonight.

Ethan had bid both of them goodbye before he transformed into a Raven and vanished into the darkness of the night.

“I’m not mad at him,” Joanne refuted. “I’m just worried.”

Hecate smiled before moving to hug her close friend, and patted her head.

“Sir Ethan is strong,” Hecate said. “You should be more worried for the safety of those bad guys who might mistake him for a Raven of the Academy.”

Joanne closed her eyes and allowed her friend to pamper her.

‘Is this what it feels like to have a big sister?’ Joanne thought as she buried her head in Hecate’s chest, making her feel warm and happy.

Soon, the young lady fell asleep in her arms, making Hecate giggle.

“You always look defenseless whenever you’re around people you trust, Joanne,” Hecate said softly as she gently laid down her close friend on the bed and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Good night and sweet dreams.”

She then covered Ethan’s sister with a blanket before walking toward the window of her room.

The young lady then opened it, letting the cold breeze pass over her body.

But despite the cold, Hecate stayed there and kept on gazing in the distance, her eyes glowing faintly.

Her Raven, Xena, was following a good distance away from Ethan, who was currently in his Raven Form.

Whether Ethan sensed Xena’s presence or not, he didn’t make any move to ask her to go away.

‘Make sure to follow him regardless of where he goes, Xena.’

‘Don’t worry, Hecate. I will not let him out of my sight.’

After her Raven had given her words of assurance, Hecate returned her consciousness inside her body and slowly closed the window of her room.

Her body had become a bit chilly, but as soon as the windows were closed, it quickly returned to normal temperature.

“Those who don’t believe in Magic will never find it.”

Hecate turned her wand as if it was a key. A second later, a faint clicking sound, like that of a lock being unlocked, reached their ears.

“Don’t worry. I won’t blow it up,” Hecate replied. “Just wait for a bit.”

The young lady then shifted his attention back to the painting and smiled with confidence.

“Those who don’t believe in Magic will never find it.”

Hecate turned her wand as if it was a key. A second later, a faint clicking sound, like that of a lock being unlocked, reached their ears.

The wall where the painting was at slowly parted, revealing a staircase that led underground.

Joanne became excited. Ethan told her that Brynhildr Academy had many secrets, and by the looks of it, she was looking at one of them right now.

“How did you know?” Joanne asked.

“A little fish told me,” Hecate replied as she held the younger girl’s hand. “Use light magic and lead the way.”

Joanne nodded in understanding because she knew that Hecate’s magic wasn’t reliable.

If the older girl were to cast any spell, even if it were only a simple light spell, an Elemental would suddenly appear and attack her.

She found this quite hilarious, but even after pressing the Saintess for answers as to why, she didn’t get any.

As Joanne took the first step down the staircase, blue torch lights appeared, illuminating the way, making her turn around to look at her friend, who asked her to use light magic.

“I didn’t know that there’s something like this here,” Hecate replied with a faint blush on her face, clearly embarrassed by her lack of information. ‘I’ll kill that fish later.’

Since a source of light was already available, Hecate led the way down the stairs as she and her friend entered a place where the two of them didn’t belong.
