Wizard World Irregular

When Leah opened her eyes, the first one she saw was Lily. Her daughter was sitting beside her bed, holding her hand.

“You’re finally awake, Mother,” Lily said with a relieved expression on your face. “Did Ethan hurt you badly? Tell me everything he did, and I'll avenge you later.”

“I’ll avenge you too, Mother Leah!” Lyall commented. “I’ll f*ck him up!”

Hearing that, Conall looked at his sister weirdly. He had a feeling that Lyall was talking about something else.

But since he couldn’t confirm his suspicion, he remained silent and just listened to the conversation.

Leah lightly caressed her right cheek. Before she lost her consciousness, she was certain that the mermaid sneakily slapped her on the cheek as a final blow.

Although there wasn’t any mark or injury visible on her face, she could still feel a slight sting on her cheek as if to remind her that everything that happened was real and not a dream.

“Mother Leah, did Ethan hurt you so bad that you forgot how to talk?” Lyall asked with an anxious expression on her face. “Don’t worry. I’ll tie him up and drag him back to Southshire. After that, I will lock him up inside my room.”

Feeling that the other party was getting too carried away, Lily forcefully pushed her sister behind her and continued to look at her mother, waiting for her answer.

“Conall, I think I understand what you went through in the past,” Leah said as she slowly propped herself up in a sitting position. “He used a Domain and brought me into the sea. I can now understand why he is confident about challenging Seff. He might just win if he fights your Father in a location of his choosing.”

Conall nodded. “But even then, I still believe that father will win.”

“I think the same.” Leah nodded. “Even if he was in a disadvantageous position, Seff will be able to deal with it. Still, there is still a possibility that he might lose.”

After experiencing the full brunt of Ethan’s Domain, even Leah couldn’t be a hundred percent certain that her husband would win in a faceoff against Ethan.

“Now you understand why he’s not afraid of challenging our entire family?” Lily asked.

She didn’t even try to mask the pride in her voice as if telling her mother “See? I chose the right man, right?”

Leah looked at her daughter, who was unable to hide the faint smile on her face. She could understand that feeling since she felt the same whenever she was with her husband, Seff.

“Lyall, Conall, can you leave your sister and me for a few minutes?” Leah asked. “I just want to ask her something in private.”

Lyall pouted, but she still left the room with her brother.

Leah then raised her wand and pointed at the door, covering it with a thick layer of ice to prevent anyone from coming in.

She then waved her wand in a circular motion, casting soundproofing magic inside of the room to ensure that no one would be able to hear her private talk with her daughter.

“Ethan is a Dud,” Leah stated. “The Headmaster confirmed this with me. So, how is he able to use his magic? I want to know the truth.”

“Even if you ask me, I can’t tell you that,” Lily replied. “This is something very important to him, so I can’t tell you anything without getting his permission.”

“Fine, then answer this question. Do you really believe that his bloodline will strengthen your bloodline?”

“I don’t know. But one thing is certain. He is the only man I am willing to be within this lifetime. If you and father were to separate us by force, I’m afraid that you would just create an enemy that might cause the downfall of our Clan.”

Leah was about to tell her daughter that what she was thinking was impossible to happen. But after remembering the crazed look on the face of the Mermaid Princess as she dragged her to the depths of the sea, she was forced to hold her tongue.

‘If that is the form of his Partial Resonance, then the real one will surely be much more deadly,’ Leah thought.

She had briefly seen an intent to kill in the Mermaid Princess’ eyes, and it made her uncontrollably shudder.

Seeing her reaction, Lily thought that her mother might be suffering from an injury that Professor Galena might have missed.

But, Leah’s next words caught her attention.

“Lily, do you know what Ethan’s goal is?” Leah asked. “As his lover, do you know what his dreams and aspirations are?”

“No,” Lily replied. “As far as I know, he doesn’t have any real goal right now.”

“Then do you think there is a chance that he might take the wrong path in the future? A path that will lead you and possibly his other lovers to destruction?”

Leah knew that Ethan had more than one lover. She didn’t have a problem with that since her own husband had many wives as well.

Originally, she didn’t like the prospect of a Dud marrying her daughter, thinking that it might dilute her magical bloodline.

But after fighting against Ethan, she realized something.

That teenage boy was a Legacy Holder.

Legacies might be rare, but there were dozens of people who possessed them in the Shire Continent.

But it doesn't change the fact that those who held such powers would surpass those without one, for that was the power of Legacies.

They were the forces that bent the laws of reality, as well as the elements of the world to their will.

It was not only Wizards and Witches who gained Legacies.

Even those without magical power could possess such powers because that was what Legacies were.

Leah assumed that Ethan’s power was coming from a Legacy, allowing him to do things that he wasn't supposed to do.

Some Legacies could be transferred through blood relations, while some disappeared to look for those worthy of them after their current wielders die.

‘If Ethan’s power really comes from his Legacy, then there is a chance that it will be passed down to my daughter’s children,’ Leah thought. ‘Still, there is a chance that it might not.’

Right now, Leah was in a dilemma.

She had envisioned a future where Lily would become the Matriarch of a magical lineage, which would push their family name to the ranks of the High-Ranking Wizarding Families of the world.

In order to do that, her daughter must find a powerful Wizard to match her beauty and power, which was the reason why she had sent her to Brynhildr Academy to study magic.
