Chapter 921: I Thought I’ve Lost It



It was almost midnight when Ethan's Flying Ship arrived at Brynhildr Academy...

There were classes the next day, so Merric decided to increase their flight speed to ensure that

his Young Master would be able to have enough rest and sleep before his first class.

Fortunately, the journey had been smooth sailing.

After thanking his people, Ethan and Lilian walked hand in hand toward Dud Manor.

Now that her mother and grandfather had accepted their relationship, the young lady believed that her father would follow suit.

When they arrived at the Manor, everyone was already asleep, so Ethan escorted Lilian back to her room before heading to his own room.

However, the young man changed his mind halfway because he still wasn't feeling sleepy.

With nothing else to do, he decided to take a stroll in the academy to freshen up his mind.

Since he couldn't think of a place to go, he just walked randomly as he breathed in the chilly night air.

The academy was surrounded by a forest, so the air was fresh, carrying the scents of grass and leaves.

On a whim, Ethan decided to head toward the Coliseum.

He believed that it would be empty at this time of the day, so he decided to go there to pass some time.

But when he arrived at its interior, he suddenly felt a magical fluctuation in the surroundings, making him frown.

He felt the Origin Magic Crystal inside his Magic Core resonate with the fluctuation of magic, taking him by surprise.

It was then that he saw her.

At the center of the arena stood a young lady, her long pink hair fluttering in the breeze as she held a sword made of ice.

The ice sword reflected the moonlight, giving it a deathly blue tint.

He didn't know how long he had been staring at her, but in that brief moment, he felt that he wasn't looking at his best friend.

As if sensing his gaze, the young lady slowly turned to look in his direction, her eyes in a daze. A chilling sensation gripped Ethan's heart which lasted for only a second before the feeling disappeared completely.

"Ethan?" Nicole asked as her eyes regained their clarity.

"It's me," Ethan replied. "Are you training?"

Nicole nodded before looking at her hand holding the ice sword in confusion.

Suddenly, the Ice Sword turned into an icy mist blown away by the wind, disappearing from sight.

"I... huh?" Nicole suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head, followed by dizziness, prompting her to close her eyes as she supported her head with a hand in order to stabilize her condition.

However, she still felt as if all of her strength had left her, making her almost collapse in the

"Nicole, are you really alright?" Ethan hesitated after his discovery.

"Yes," Nicole replied. She knew that her best friend had discovered the problem with her

body, and yet, she had no qualms about it.

Ethan didn't know what to say, so he simply held her close while sighing in his heart.

He understood that this was the choice that Nicole had made, and he could keep his silence because he knew that anything he said would just be empty words.

"Can you hold my hand?" Nicole asked.

"Okay," Ethan replied and held the young lady's hand, giving it a light squeeze. "Better?"

Nicole didn't reply right away and simply stared at the hand holding hers.

A few minutes of silence passed before she finally spoke up.

"Thank you," Nicole said before standing up. "We have classes tomorrow, so it's time for me

to sleep. You should sleep as well."

Without even waiting for Ethan's reply, Nicole walked away with steady steps.

Only when she was certain that Ethan wasn't around did a sigh escape her lips.

"I thought I'd lost it," Nicole said softly as she looked at her hand.

She had lost her sense of touch and even her sense of taste as a side effect of her Legacy.

When Ethan was holding her, she didn't feel anything. She was simply numb.

So when the treatment ended, she decided to ask him to touch her hand, thinking that she had

truly lost her sense of touch.

However, when Ethan held her, she was surprised because the sensation of being touched

returned to her.

As if wanting to test something, she lightly bit her lip until it drew blood.

When she tasted the familiar taste of her blood, she understood that she had also regained her

sense of taste.

Her wound healed completely a few seconds later as if nothing had happened.

The young lady then glanced at the Coliseum one last time before walking back to her Manor.

It was a long night, and she was truly tired.

Less than five minutes later, her entire body had once again become as cold as ice, sending a faint mist from her hands as she returned to the Eques Manor.
