Wizard World Irregular

A few days later, Ethan was called by Professor Barret to train his Origin Magic in battle.

This time, the Professor chose a different battlefield, so Ethan wouldn’t be able to fight using his Tide Bringer’s powers.

The battlefield that the Professor chose was a Grassland, wanting Ethan to learn how to fight in a different environment.

Although he understood that Ethan’s Origin Magic, Mimir’s Wisdom, mainly played a supporting role, he wanted to better understand how it worked so that he could give the young man spointers.

While the two were facing off against each other, Ethan’s Other Half told him something interesting.

‘Ethan, try using X-Vision,’ Ethan’s Other Half proposed. ‘With Mimir’s Wisdom, I believe that the mental strain it puts on you will disappear completely.’

The last tEthan used his X-Vision was when he fought against the Bronze Giant in order to help his Head Prefect, Henry, obtain its Legacy.

His X-Vision had three modes.

The first one was the ability to see through clothes or objects like walls.

The second one was similar to having a telescope that allowed him to see from great distances.

The third one was the ability to see the weakness of the things he looked at.

Whenever he used one of them, the color of his eyes would change color, representing the ability he was using.

When he used the ability to see through objects, his eyes would turn green.

When turning his vision into a telescope, his eyes would glow in a bluish hue.

When he was looking at the weakness of his opponents, the color of his eyes would turn golden.

He could also combine all three abilities at once, allowing him to see through his enemies even from far away and find their weaknesses outside and inside their bodies.

It was a cheat ability, but Ethan was unable to use it previously because he didn’t have the mental strength to control it properly.

But all of those issues were solved after gaining Mimir’s Wisdom, which was now his First Origin Magic.

The only offensive abilities that Mimir’s Wisdom possessed were Rune Magic and his ability to transform into four animals.

Rune Magic was an entirely different concept to Ethan, but after countless hours he spent on meditation, digesting the wisdom that Mimir had left behind in his consciousness, he was able to learn five basic runes of power.

Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, and Lightning.

Fighting using Rune Magic wasn’t hard, but Ethan understood that it worked wonders if he had enough tto write as many runes as he could.

In short, if he could write countless runes on the battlefield, he would be able to unleash a spell that would be as powerful as his Grand Aria.

But there was a downside.

Rune Magic required resources like Mana Crystals, Beast Cores, and other sources of Magic.

Of course, Ethan could also use his own Magic to empower the runes, which was why Professor Barret wanted the two of them to fight. That way, he could guide Ethan on how to effectively use his newfound magic in battles.

“Let’s start,” Professor Barret said as he stood with his wand at the ready.

Ethan wasn’t using any wands right now because he wanted to see if he could fight the Professor using his Origin Magic alone.

The young man took a deep breath before he opened his eyes.

His eyes had turned golden, allowing him to see Professor Barret’s weakness… or at least, that was what was supposed to happen.

‘Wow, the Professor has no weakness!’ Sebastian chuckled inside Ethan’s Sea of Consciousness.

‘Keep your X-Vision activated,’ Ethan’s Other Half ordered. ‘Even if your opponent doesn’t have any weakness, you need to train yourself to keep this ability active during battles.’

Ethan nodded in understanding before using his hand to write a rune in front of him.

“Ignis!” Ethan shouted and a Fire Bolt erupted from the symbol that he had created.

Professor Barret casually waved his wand, and a red chain appeared to split the Fire Bolt in half, negating its effects.

“Glacies!”

“Fulgur!”

Ethan fired a Ray of Frost with his left hand, and a Lightning Bolt with his right.

Professor Barret used a Blue and Golden Chain to stop the two spells, but before his chains could make contact with them, the Ray of Frost and the Lightning Bolt merged together, causing an explosion that created a charged electric mist, which forced Professor Barret to take a few steps back.

“Interesting,” the Professor smirked before waving his hand to disperse the Icy Mist that had an electrifying effect.

When the mist cleared, the Professor couldn’t help but arch an eyebrow because Ethan was nowhere to be seen.Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NovᴇlFɪre.ɴet

Since Professor Barret was aware of the young man’s abilities, he remained completely still and waited for his opponent’s next move.

Minutes passed in silence, but the Professor remained in place, looking forward to whatever Ethan was cooking for him.

Finally, after nearly half an hour of waiting, the Professor waved his wand to his right side, sending a black chain towards a patch of grass.

Just before the chain hit its intended target, the grass started to move as something small ran through it.

“You little mouse.” Professor Barret chuckled before casting a spell with his wand.

“Magna Fragor!”

The tip of Professor Barret’s wand exploded, summoning a Giant Fireball that immediately incinerated the area where he pointed.

But before his attack could hit, a Black Raven flew towards the sky, dodging the explosion that followed afterward.

The grasslands were set ablaze, and the flames spread like wildfire.

But Ethan did something that the Professor didn’t expect him to do, and that was to transform back into a human as he fell from the sky.

“Ignis Eversor!”

Ethan shouted, making the Fire Runes he had inscribed around Professor Barret activate at the stime, creating an explosion that was three times stronger than the Giant Fireball that the Professor had summoned.

Since Professor Barret was surrounded by the explosions, he had no way to escape the blast, which was part of Ethan’s plan.

After casting his rune magic, Ethan transformed back into a Raven and flew high in the sky, watching the destruction on land.

But before he could even feel proud of his achievement, a white chain suddenly wrapped itself around his body, holding him in place.

‘I forgot about Professor Barret’s Dimensional Chain,’ Ethan bitterly thought after being captured by the Professor.

Down below, a giant ball made of countless chains piled around each other rolled out of the inferno, making Ethan sigh in his heart.

He still had a long way before besting one of the most powerful Magistratus in the Wizarding World. However, he still found his new magic very flexible because he could detonate it whenever he wanted.

“Well, that wasn’t too bad,” Professor Barret said after he emerged from the metallic ball. “You did well, and I’m happy to tell you that if you were fighting someone who had no idea what you could do, they would have definitely felt a world of pain after being trapped in that perfect setup.”

Hearing the Professor’s praise, Ethan knew that Professor Barret was just being nice.

As if any of his enemies would just really stand in place for thirty minutes and not do anything, allowing his spell to work.

Ethan knew that if he were fighting against other Wizards, they would definitely becimpatient and leave or use wide-area spells in order to find him.

It took him nearly half an hour to create that setup while he was in his mouse form.

The reason why it worked was because the Professor wanted to know what he was planning to do and remained standing in place.

‘I need to find a way to make this magic more effective in combat,’ Ethan thought. ‘I wish I could use it instantly instead of wasting a few seconds to write runes.’

While he was deep in thought, Professor Barret lightly tapped Ethan’s shoulder, planning to propose an idea.

“I think I have a way to maximize your rune Magic,” Professor Barret stated. “Are you interested?”

Ethan, who wanted to maximize the power of his Rune Magic, nodded with a serious expression on his face.

“Okay.” Professor Barret smirked. “It will never hurt to have a few trump cards in battle. So, this is my suggestion.”

After hearing the Professor’s suggestion, Ethan couldn’t help but scratch his head.

‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Ethan thought.

Even Sebastian and Ethan’s Other Half were surprised to hear Professor Barret’s recommendation.

It was a very simple method that would maximize Ethan’s Rune Magic, allowing him to use his new ability in battle.

But, there was one downside.

Ethan would have to undergo a training regimen in order to becproficient in using this new method of fighting.

Fortunately, Mimir’s Wisdom allowed him to learn everything faster, so he believed that it shouldn’t take him a long tto have another Trump Card up his sleeve.
