Chapter 986: The Beginning Of The End [Part 3]
Four more years passed, and Nicole grew from a skinny girl to a confident, beautiful young lady.
She just turned seventeen years old and was now ready to go to Brynhildr Academy.
Nicole was supposed to go a year ago, but the Patriarch of the Asta Family sent her to challenge a dungeon. That was so he could determine if the young lady had what it took to participate in the Heir Wars.
Of course, she accepted the challenge, for she had always wanted to wrest control from the Asta Family and change its policies from the ground up.
For Nicole, trying to kick a dead horse was nonsense.
If she wished to start things, she must start from scratch and rid the Asta Family of the leeches that were just holding on to their family's glory.
Currently, this young beauty was sitting on the balcony of her room, looking at the starry skies.
"Mister Ghost, are you still not going to tell me your name?" Nicole asked with a smile.
Any young man who saw that smile would find their hearts skipping a beat, but not Ethan.
He was already used to that smile of hers because he had been with her ever since she acquired Baradiel's Legacy.
"Feeling sentimental?" Ethan asked back.
"Yes," Nicole answered. "I have a feeling that the moment I leave, I will never see you again. Say, Mr. Ghost, how about you come with me to the academy? I heard that they have ghosts there as well."
"No," Ethan replied firmly. "Tomorrow is the day we part ways."
"..." Nicole looked up at the starry skies trying to act aloof. But, her hands briefly trembled because she could feel the firmness in Mr. Ghost's tone.
After being with her for several years, Ethan could tell what she was thinking even without reading her mind.
Although he was a bit hesitant, he knew that Nicole got lonely very easily.
Because of this, although he was reluctant, he hugged her from behind.
Even though he was a ghost, there were times when he could touch her and make her feel a sense of warmth coming from him.
Nicole, who had just been hugged, was surprised, but she didn't make any move to resist either.
"You will find many people in the academy who will become your friends," Ethan replied. "You might even find someone there who you like."
"I only like Mr. Ghost," Nicole replied.
"Of course, you deserve to become one of the Pillars of the academy," Ethan replied. "That's because you are strong."
Mentally and physically, Nicole was certainly strong.
Anyone who could endure Baradiel's Legacy for many years would not be a mediocre person.
"There are five Manors in Brynhildr Academy," Nicole stated. "Schwartz, Jaeger, Eques, Terra, and the Dud Manor. Mr. Ghost, where do you think I'll end up?
"Definitely Eques Manor," Ethan replied in a heartbeat.
"Eh? How come?" Nicole asked.
"First, Schwartz Manor is only for people who practice Dark Magic," Ethan answered. "The Jaeger Manor is for those who have a connection with beasts or are beasts themselves.
"Terra Manor is for the healers and nature lovers. As for the Dud Manor... someone as talented
as you can't possibly end up in that place."
Ethan chuckled before continuing his explanation.
"That only leaves Eques Manor, which houses the Magic Knights of the Wizarding World,"
Ethan added. "I'm confident that you will end up in Eques Manor."
Nicole blinked once then twice before a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"Mr. Ghost, how did you know all that?"
"Um? Isn't this just common knowledge?"
"If it's common knowledge, then how come I don't know about it?"
Ethan completely forgot that aside from training, Nicole only interacted with the members of
the Asta Family unless she had no choice but to interact with them.
All the information she knew about Brynhildr Academy was strictly from what Oscar Asta had
shared to her.
She only knew the names of the different Manors of the Academy, but not what they
represented.
All she knew was that she would end up in one of them once her appraisal ended.
