Chapter 887: Nicole’s Gamble



Nicole looked at her close friend with a sad expression on her face.

When she heard that Samantha suddenly disappeared during her mission, the first thought that came to her mind was to help the rescue teams look for her.

Unfortunately, Professor Rinehart issued a decree that no Witch would be allowed to participate in the rescue operations.

Because of this, she had no choice but to keep an ear out for the latest news in regard to the kidnapping incident.

A few days ago, Professor Rinehart updated the Peace Keepers, saying the case had been solved by Ethan and the kidnapped Witches were all safe.

This made Nicole very happy, so the moment she saw Emma, he asked her about Ethan and Samantha.

When Emma told her that Samantha was unconscious and was currently resting in Dud Manor, she knew that something was wrong.

And now that she was seeing her friend's current condition, she couldn't help but feel sad. After all, Samantha was one of her very close friends in the academy.

"Can you tell me what happened to her?" Nicole asked after staying silent for a few minutes.

"Very well," Ethan replied. "I'll tell you from the very beginning. But, I'll say it beforehand, you might not like it."

The young man told his best friend about his mission to travel to Nightfall Academy and join the rescue teams that were formed to find the missing witches.

He told her about the nagging feeling that he felt when he heard that Samantha had disappeared without a trace.

The young man told her everything, including the gamble he took by using the compass that belonged to Agmundr Schwartz, which led him to the cottage that belonged to the Witch of the Twilight.

Nicole was one of the people he trusted the most in the academy, so he unhesitatingly told her everything, including the fact that he and Samantha had been forced to make love.

When he got to the part where the Twilight Witch forced him to consume Samantha's Origin Magic Crystal, a look of fury flashed across her beautiful face.

Nicole was a very smart person, so when Ethan said that it could help her control her Legacy, she immediately understood what the young man was trying to say.

"You want to extract my Origin Magic, so I can let my body get accustomed to my Legacy?" Nicole asked.

Ethan nodded. “Right. I will not eat your Origin Crystal anyway, you can just take it back after you have conquered your Legacy."

Nicole gazed at the young man with a conflicted look on her face. She now understood why Ethan revealed that he was still in the possession of the Cauldron of Twilight.

A few minutes later, Nicole sighed deeply before shifting her attention to the sleeping Samantha on the bed.

"Very well, let's do it," Nicole said. "I trust you, Ethan."

"Pack up first and bring some of your belongings from your room," Ethan replied. "Tell your Manor Mates that you will be going on a mission so that they won't worry about you.

"You will be staying inside my Portable Tree House. It's the safest place I know, and you'll stay there while your Origin Magic Crystal is being extracted from your body. Remember, we will do this with the utmost secrecy. You're not allowed to leave the Tree House no matter what. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes," Nicole replied. "I'll go back to my Manor now."

Since she had already decided to take a gamble, she would see it through to the end.

Truth be told, despite all of her efforts, Nicole was unable to surmount the incompatibility between her Magic and her Legacy.

Now that Ethan had opened a path for her, she decided to take a plunge and see if the hurdle that she was trying to jump over would decrease once her Origin Magic was extracted from

her.

Unknown to her, the Fallen Angel inside her Sea of Consciousness had a faint smile on her

face.

She liked Ethan's proposal very much, and with this, her chances of realizing her goal were now one step closer to completion.
