Wizard World Irregular-Chapter 861: That’s Always Been One Of Your Fantasies, Right?

After formally claiming their missions, Joanne and Princess Ramona went to Dud Manor to discuss the things that they would need to bring on their journey.

Themis and Eunomia, who were going to join them, were also invited to this strategy meeting.

Ethan, on the other hand, stayed behind and watched as the other students picked their own missions.

Luna, who wasn't exempted from taking missions, appeared in the Mission Hall after an hour alongside her team members.

She, Emma, George, Sabrina, and Samantha Blackwood, who once accompanied Ethan and Nicole during the Asta Family Heir Wars, decided to form a team.

For some reason, Ethan felt that this team was pretty balanced. Although George might not seem reliable on the surface, Sebastian and Ethan's Other Half told him that Emma and Luna would be safe on George's team.

When he tried to ask why they felt that way, his two supporters simply told him that George was no longer the same person he had met a year ago.

They even insisted that, although he wasn't as reliable as Henry, the previous Head Prefect, George was still a very dependable friend and ally, even if everything were to go south.

Knowing that Sebastian and his Other Half wouldn't lie to him, he no longer said anything and supported Luna's decision to join George's team.

"What mission did Ramona and Joanne take earlier?" George asked Ethan.

"A merchant escort mission," Ethan replied. "They will pass through the Beastkin territory, so they thought that they were qualified to take the mission."

"Hmm..." George pondered a bit before glancing at his team members. "Should we also take the same mission as them? I've always wanted to visit Southshire, and since we're going with people we know, it will also be a good opportunity to take this mission as a short vacation." "There are many rare herbs and flowers in Southshire," Sabrina commented. "I think this mission is good. I hope we can come across the Snapping Toadstool and the Laughing Ivy. Those two only grow in the Beastkin Territory."

"Hey, Ethan, it's been a while," Samantha greeted with a smile.

"It has indeed been a while, Samantha." Ethan nodded in greeting.

"Can you guess the color of my underwear right now?" Samantha asked, which made Emma and Luna glance at Ethan as if asking for an explanation.

"It's a joke that formed between us when we were accompanying Nicole in the Heir Wars," Ethan said with a sigh. "Samantha, please, don't say things that might make people misunderstand. Especially in front of my Fiance."

"Hoh?" Samantha arched an eyebrow. "Fiance? Are you talking about Luna?"

"Yes," Ethan replied. "She's my Fiance."

Since Emma was back to being the dull, bland-looking Assistant Librarian, Samantha didn't even consider her as one of Ethan's lovers.

In fact, aside from Ethan's inner circle, not many knew that Emma was actually a very gorgeous young lady, whom the members of Schwartz Manor would definitely wish to make their marriage partner if they knew about it.

Unfortunately for them, Emma went out of her way to make herself less attractive in public, making it so others did not even bother to pay attention to her presence.

"And... how many fiances do you have?" Samantha moved closer, so that Ethan could whisper the number in her ear.

The young man obliged and gave the answer, which made Samantha blink once then twice before looking at him with amazement.

"Wow." Samantha eyed Ethan from head to foot. "No wonder you can tell the color of my underwear with just a glance, you're really amazing in more ways than one."

"Uh... can you give me a break?"

"Hahaha! Okay. I won't bring up this topic again."

Since Luna and Emma had no objections to taking the same mission as Joanne and Princess Ramona, George took the escort mission and asked the staff to register his team as one of the four teams that would be accompanying the merchant group.

"You look worried," Luna said before giving Ethan's hand a light squeeze.

"Frankly, I'd be worried even if you took a simple mission outside of the academy," Ethan replied. "I'm just being a bit paranoid after everything I've gone through—especially during my first escort mission."

Luna nodded in understanding. "If you're that worried, how about you follow us as one of your Peacekeeping duties?"

"I wish I could do that, but Professor Rinehart told me that he has a special mission for me in a few days."

"A special mission?" Luna frowned. "If he personally asked for your help, then it must be something serious."

Ethan nodded. "I don't know what the mission entails, but the Headmaster looked troubled when he asked for my help. I'm sure it's not going to be an easy mission."

"Just be careful, okay?" Luna rested her head on Ethan's chest.

"I will," Ethan replied. "All of you be careful as well. I'll send Dainsleif to look after Joanne and Ramona. Do you want me to let Lilith escort you as a precaution?"

Luna shook her head. "If you send everyone to protect us, then who will protect you? Ethan, I know that you're strong-very strong. But there are times when even strong wizards need others to save them as well."

"You're right," Ethan hugged the young lady in a loving embrace. "I'm getting ahead of myself. I just told Joanne that confidence is good, and overconfidence is bad. I should practice what I preach, no?"

"Exactly." Luna grinned. "Don't worry. If you need saving, I promise to come and save you like a knight in shining armor."

"That's always been one of your fantasies, right?" Ethan inquired. "To meet a prince on a white horse, who will take you to his kingdom and live happily ever after."

"Yes." Luna didn't deny Ethan's words. "But that's in the past now that I've found my

prince."

Ethan, who had been leaning against one of the corners of the Mission Hall, glanced at his surroundings and sighed.

If they were alone, he would have already kissed Luna because she was being adorable at this

time.

After finishing their registration, Luna left with George and the others to strategize what items they would bring on their mission.

As the hours passed, Ethan couldn't help but feel anxiety about the thing that he couldn't explain that was nagging at the back of his head.

He didn't know if he was just being paranoid or if something else was at work.

"This might be the aftereffects of my journey in Midgard,' Ethan thought. 'Maybe I will feel better after taking a nap.'

After checking that none of his friends were inside the Mission Hall, Ethan returned to Dud

Manor to rest.

Later that afternoon, he would be summoned to the Headmaster's Office to be briefed on his special mission, which he would be undertaking in the next few days.
