Chapter 360 Not As Simple As It Seemed
A loud banging sound reverberated inside Ethan’s room as his body fell off from the bed.
The light sleeper Lilith, who had been lying peacefully on top of the table, was awakened by the sudden noise.
“M-Master!” Lilith jumped off the table and looked at Ethan with worry. “What happened?! Did you get attacked by someone?!”
Lilith immediately scanned the surroundings with the intention to attack. Brynhildr Academy was relatively safe, even more so inside Ethan’s room, so she wasn’t really putting a lot of effort into observing their surroundings.
Seeing that Ethan was sleeping earlier, she also fell asleep due to how calming his sleeping face looked.
She didn’t expect that her Master would be hurt due to her negligence!
“I-I’m okay, Lilith,” Ethan replied as he painfully rubbed the back of his head. “I just had a weird dream.”
“A weird dream?” Lilith, who had entered her battle mode, blinked in confusion and retracted her killing intent.
Ethan nodded “Yes. I fell off my bed because of that dream.”
Lilith stared at her Master’s face for a few seconds before sighing in relief.
“You scared me, Master,” Lilith complained in a bitter tone. “I thought someone had attacked you while we were inside your room.”
“I’m sorry,” Ethan replied. “It was just a dream, so don’t worry too much about it, okay? I’m fine.”
Lilith nodded, but she didn’t go back to sleep. Instead, she extended her senses around her in order to make sure that there was really nothing that threatened Ethan.
Her search didn’t detect anything out of place, so she jumped into Ethan’s shadow and merged with it to hide her earlier embarrassment.
The young man didn’t say anything and only propped himself up from the floor.
‘I’ve been sleeping for two hours,’ Ethan thought. ‘I should probably get something to eat.’
Having decided his next course of action, Ethan left his room. The dream he had was still fresh in his mind, especially the advice that Vincent had given him.
Although it was a hard choice to make, he decided to have another serious talk with Chloe about their relationship.
Upon Ethan’s arrival in the Common Room of Dud Manor, he noticed that there were several girls, who were not from their Manor, gathered there.
Henry was talking to a beautiful lady with long blonde hair. She was none other than the daughter of the Campbell Family and Henry’s Fiance.
“Rin, I’m telling you that it is going to be fine,” Henry said. “Professor Barret and Ethan will be with me.”
“Even though you say that, I am still worried. Let me remind you, last time, you were in a coma for three weeks. What if you don’t wake up this time?”
“You think too much. I already said that I am going to be fine.”
Henry had given his fiance a nickname, calling her Rin whenever they were together.
Everyone was already used to it, so they no longer made a big deal of it.
To Ethan’s surprise, Nicole was also in Dud Manor, along with Garnet, whom he was seeing for the first time.
The two girls were talking to Luna, and they seemed to be having an important discussion.
Just as he was about to go and say hi to them, the words that Vincent had told him resounded inside his head.
“I’m sure that you will think of this as a dream, so in order for you to prove that our conversation is real, I’ll leave you with a good luck charm that will keep you safe, at least until we meet again.”
Ethan didn’t notice that as soon as he heard those words inside his head, the color of his eyes changed from blue to green.
Sensing his presence, Henry and the other girls looked in his direction.
Ethan, who was just about to say hi to them, couldn’t help but stiffen after seeing the scene in front of him.
Luna, Nicole, Rin, and Garnet all looked at him at the same time. But that wasn’t the reason why Ethan suddenly found himself frozen in place.
The girls in front of him were all naked, without a single piece of clothing covering their bodies.
He was surprised to see Rin’s seductive body, which was perfectly hidden by the robes she wore.
For a brief moment, he felt like giving his Head Prefect, Henry, a thumbs up for managing to have a beauty like her as his lover.
As Ethan averted his gaze from Rin, he saw Nicole’s lean and toned body, which was brimming with strength. She was already a beauty, but seeing her without clothes added a lethal attraction that made the young man’s heart skip a beat.
The young man then forcefully tore his gaze away from her and shifted his attention to Garnet, who was known as the Scarlet Witch of the Academy.
Ethan had to admit that he liked what he saw, but not wanting to take advantage of it, his gaze moved towards his lover, Luna.
He had already seen her naked, so seeing her like this was no longer a big deal to him. But it didn't change the fact that his face was already beet-red at this point.
Forcing every drop of willpower inside his body, he tore his gaze from his lover and shifted it to Henry, who was seated beside his lover.
A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he saw that his Head Prefect was still wearing clothes. However, he also noticed that he was looking at him with a weird look on his face.
“Ethan, what’s wrong?” Luna asked in worry as she stood up to approach him. “Y-Your nose is bleeding. Are you feeling unwell?”
“I-I,” Ethan was at a loss for words.
Because of this, he didn’t offer any resistance as Luna wiped away the blood from his nose.
After that, she made him sit on the couch and asked him to pinch the bridge of his nose to stop the bleeding.
Ethan obeyed and closed his eyes.
For some reason, he could faintly hear Vincent’s laughter in the background as if the latter was enjoying his suffering.
At first, he really thought that he had just met the extremely handsome man in his dreams.
But now, he was thinking that their meeting was not as simple as it seemed.
