Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

Earlier in the day, he had impressed his classmates in the Combat Training and Spell Casting Classes because of his amazing firepower.

But, that same firepower proved to be useless against the Water Snakes, who could regenerate the damage they receive from the sea.

He realized that this test wasn\'t meant for them to fight and exhaust themselves, but to find ways to survive against a very disadvantageous situation.

So, that was what he did.

He used everything in his power to survive by dodging, and using various means to run away from his attackers.

Hecate, on the other hand, approached this training in a different way.

She punched and kicked the Water Snakes, sometimes using the waves, or her enemies\' bodies to move around the battlefield.

A glance was enough to tell Ethan that she was able to use magic to allow herself to use the water\'s surface, as well as the Water Snake\'s body as platforms to move around.

However, what impressed him more was that her blows were so powerful that a single hit from her would obliterate the Water Snake\'s head, or any part of its body that was hit by her attack.

The young man then shifted his attention to Heath, who made him chuckle despite himself.

The Pillars of the Jaeger Manor had transformed into a White Tiger, and the only thing he did was to run away at great speeds.

The Water Snakes were unable to close the gap between them. Also, the waves didn\'t pose a threat to him because Heath would only jump over them.

In fact, Ethan had the impression that the teenage boy was having fun, treating the waves as hurdles, and testing himself on how high he could jump.

\'I\'m sure Hecate can do the same, but she chose to fight instead of running away,\' Sebastian commented. \'That girl seems like someone who likes to face challenges head on.\'

\'Or she could just be stubborn,\' Ethan\'s Other Half commented. \'That Lennox boy is very pitiful, but he is still hanging on. I\'ll give him points for effort.\'

Ethan shifted his gaze to Lennox just in time to see the young man summon his flying broom.

However, instead of flying high into the sky, he used his fire Magic to attack the snakes, and evade them by moving his flying broom at the right moment.

Ethan, Sebastian, and Ethan\'s Other Half watched the teenage boy carefully and came to one conclusion.

\'He is suited for Aerial Combat with a broom,\' Ethan said.

\'Indeed.\' Sebastian nodded. \'His broom handling skills are on another level. This boy is surprisingly talented.\'

\'Some Wizards and Witches fight in the air while riding their brooms,\' Ethan\'s Other Half commented. \'With Lennox\'s skills, I believe that he could definitely outclass his opponents if given proper training. In fact, he might even give Joanne a hard time if they fought in the sky.\'

Ethan agreed with his Other Half\'s statement because Lennox was using his flying broom as if it was a part of his body.

Despite the fact that the Water Snakes surrounded him from all sides, none of them were able to land a hit on his body because of Lennox\'s amazing control over his flying broom.

Ethan nodded in satisfaction because he discovered one of Lennox\'s strengths.

He then glanced at his sister, who was fighting neck and neck with Dainsleif.

Joanne wasn\'t holding back and fighting with everything she had because she understood that she couldn\'t take her opponent lightly.

\'Joanne is being pushed back, but she isn\'t losing either," Sebastian said. \'Granted, Dainsleif is definitely holding back. It seems that he is testing your sister\'s limits.\'

\'It seems that she received something from You Know Who,\' Ethan\'s Other Half stated. \'Although it\'s a bit rough on the edges, that fighting style is familiar.\'

Ethan also received several fighting techniques from the Patron of the Valentin Family.

In fact, the fighting style he used in the Initiation Ceremony was one of those techniques.

Before they left Caer Wydion, Ashmedai asked Catherine to let Joanne meet him.

The Demonic Progenitor had given Ethan\'s sister a few freebies, which he believed would prove useful to her.

He was also the one who convinced Joanne to enroll in Brynhildr Academy, so that she would know more about the outside world.

Just like the rest of the Valentin Family, he also spoiled Ethan\'s sister very much, and made sure that she would be safe during her time away from Caer Wydion.

As Joanne and Dainsleif exchanged spells against each other, the young man noticed the look of impatience on his sister\'s face.

\'She\'s really stubborn,\' Sebastian chuckled. \'I think she wants to be as strong as you, so she is getting frustrated that she is unable to overpower Dainsleif.\'

\'Even I would have a hard time fighting against Dainsleif if the two of us fought seriously against each other,\' Ethan commented. \'His gravity magic is the real deal.\'

\'Are you regretting that you didn\'t make that power yours?\' Ethan\'s Other Half inquired.

\'Not really,\' Ethan answered. \'Since Dainsleif is strong, I can ask him to protect the people I cared for while I am away. As long as he is with them, I will have some peace of mind.\'

The Ancient Wendigo was no longer a simple monster that anyone could defeat easily.

He had absorbed powerful Fomorians, and even gained the Gravity Domain.

During his battle with Seff in Soutshire, Dainsleif had proven himself as a powerhouse who could stand toe to toe with the Beast King.

This was something that not many could achieve, which gave Seff a better understanding of his son-in-law\'s abilities.

Half an hour later, the first one to be defeated was none other than Joanne.

However, her defeat didn\'t mean that she was weak.

In fact, she had fought against an extremely strong opponent, which not even the Fourth Years in the Academy could hope to defeat.

Still, she was very frustrated because she was the only one that didn\'t survive the one-hour endurance test, and asked her brother to start the training once again.

However, Hecate, Lennox, and Heath vetoed her proposal because they were already feeling exhausted.

"You have improved greatly," Ethan said as he patted his sister\'s head. "I was very impressed by your battle with Dainsleif."

Hearing her brother\'s genuine praise, Joanne felt happy and no longer insisted that they repeat the training a second time, making the First Years sigh in relief.

"I will train you inside my Domain on Mondays and Fridays," Ethan said. "On Wednesdays, we will have one-on-one sparring matches, so that you can refine your fighting abilities."

After saying those words, Ethan approached his students one by one, and told them the strengths and weaknesses that he had noticed during their first day of training.

The four teenagers took his words seriously, and thought of ways to overcome their weaknesses.

Ethan had always been the one who was being trained by people, so having the opportunity of training others gave him some new perspective.

He found it fun, and even gained some insights due to how the four First Years dealt with the challenge that he had presented them.

\'Maybe Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret asked me to teach them so that all of us can learn from each other,\' Ethan thought. \'What do you guys think?\'

\'I wouldn\'t be surprised if that was the case,\' Sebastian commented.

\'I feel the same way,\' Ethan\'s Other Half. \'What those four kids showed you today were four ways to handle the same scenario. It just proves that there is more than one way to tackle a problem.\'

As soon as his Other Half finished those words, Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret reappeared inside the Coliseum.

The other students also appeared. All of them were lying on the ground and panting for breath.

The young man had a strong urge to laugh, but he held it back and only helped his wife Lily stand up with a faint smile on his face.

He could relate to what the other students were feeling because a year ago, he had suffered the same experiences that all of them had just had.
