Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"Really. I'm not that fragile, you know?" Luna said helplessly because Chloe was clinging to her like a koala. "The incident with the Wendigo was scarier than this."

The angelic beauty was happy that her best friends were worried about her, but she didn't want them to delay what they should be doing because of her.

The Mission Hall would be open for a month.

When the month was over, students would resume their studies and consolidate the knowledge and experience that they gathered on their missions.

Two months later, the Mission Hall would open again, allowing the students to earn rewards, as well as Merit points.

"Fine," Chloe replied while still hugging Luna. "We will take our second mission tomorrow."

Ethan nodded his head in agreement. "Sounds good to me."

The next day…

Chloe narrowed her eyes as she looked at every mission that was posted in the Mission hall.

She even used her flying broom to look at the missions that were at the very top of the Mission Board, making sure that she didn't miss any of the good missions by accident.

After nearly half an hour of looking for missions, the young beauty snatched one of the missions from the board and landed beside Ethan.

"I got us an Escort Mission," Chloe said with a smile. "500 Gold Coins and 30,000 Merit Points. But we are not the only ones who will be taking on this mission. It seems that two other teams of Wizards and Witches will be coming with us as well."

Ethan arched an eyebrow. "Are we escorting a VIP?"

"It doesn't specify the identity of the person who we'// escorting," Chloe replied. "But with this kind of security, it's pretty much guaranteed that it is someone quite important."

The young man pondered a bit before frowning.

"If it's really someone important, then why post a mission for First Years?" Ethan inquired. "They would be better off commissioning Third or Fourth Years for this."

"Maybe they are stingy? Or perhaps they just don't have the budget to hire our seniors."

"Perhaps."

"I'll just register for this mission then. I'll be right back!"

Ethan watched as his cousin lined up to register their names for the Escort Mission.

Fortunately, there were not too many people in the Mission Hall at the moment, so their registration was a breeze.

"The meeting point is in Limeburgh Town at two in the afternoon," Chloe stated. "We will be escorting a carriage, and the mission will take two weeks to complete."

Ethan nodded. "I guess this will be our last mission for this month then."

"Right." Chloe nodded. "Should we go to the meeting point, or should we kill some time here and wait until noon? I'm fine with anything."

"Let's go to Limeburgh Town," Ethan replied. "I want to know who we are escorting as well as the teams that will be joining us on this mission."

"Sounds like a plan." Chloe smiled.

A few minutes later, the two of them flew through the sky on Chloe's broomstick.

Limeburgh Town was quite near to the academy, so they didn't have to fly for a long time. When they arrived at their destination, they immediately headed to the meeting point and were surprised to see a few familiar faces.

"Did the two of you also accept this Escort Mission?" Ethan asked the two beautiful girls in front of him.

"Well, hello there, Ethan," Nicole replied. "Fancy meeting you here."

"Hey." Lily waved at the handsome teenager. "Are you sure the two of you are up for this mission? In my eyes, you and Chloe are the ones who should be escorted and kept safe."

Chloe frowned after hearing Lily's statement, but she had no comeback for it.

Because of this, she remained silent and simply stood beside Ethan.

Ethan could only shake his head helplessly. He also couldn't think of a comeback to counter Lily's words, making the cute girl giggle.

"It was just a joke, you know?" Lily smirked. "I'd rather have the two of you assist us than people I don't know. Isn't that right, Nicole?"

"Right." Nicole nodded. "I'm sure that both of you will be a good addition to our forces… as long as Ethan can use magic. Can you use magic on this mission?

Ethan took a bracelet from his storage ring and showed it to Nicole and Lily, making the two girls nod their head in understanding.

"Magic Battery," Lily held Ethan's bracelet to give it a closer look. "At least, you came prepared. Did Luna give this to you?"

The handsome teenager nodded, confirming Lily's guess.

"Only use it as a last resort," Lily stated as she returned the magic bracelet to Ethan. "Nicole and I are more than enough for this mission. You guys just enjoy the free ride."

As the four teenagers chatted, the third group of Wizards and Witches arrived.

This group was composed of four people (Quatro), and they had a balanced team with one magical knight, one archer, one healer, and a purely offensive wizard.

They were quite surprised when they saw that Ethan, Nicole, and Lily were on the same mission as them, making them very excited.

"Hahaha! With the three Pillars by our side, this mission will be a walk in the park," the Archer said with a smile.

"Don't let your guard down just because we have strong fighters with us," the Healer commented. "Overconfidence is the root cause of failure."

"She's right." the Magical Knight agreed with their healer. "Anything can happen on the journey. If you are careless, you might just lose your life. Don't forget, several Hunters have already clashed with our Strikers. Although many of these bastards were captured, I'm sure that more of them still remain at large."

The Archer scratched his cheek before reluctantly nodding his head. "I guess you're right. I'll make sure to keep my eye out for those troublemakers."

Nicole and Lily glanced at each other but didn't say anything else.

Truth be told, the two beauties were part of the Striker Group that was hunting Hunters that targeted the students of the academy.

The reason why they accepted the escort mission was to capture the Hunters, who might be tempted to attack a bigger group of Wizards and Witches.
