Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 288 Return To The Outside World

Several days had passed, and now, only five days remained until their one-month stay inside the Legacy Gate was up.

Ethan’s group had a bountiful harvest, nearly emptying the entirety of Janga Valley of its natural treasures.

Unfortunately, there were simply too many resources to take, and they didn’t have enough manpower to excavate them all.

They got all the precious herbs, fruits, as well as other unique Flora that only grew inside the Legacy Domain.

Ethan stored them all with the intention of surrendering them to the Terra Manor, hoping that his seniors would be able to cultivate them inside the academy.

“Selene, do you know where we can find the Legacy of this Domain?” Ethan asked the Carbuncle, who was currently resting in Luna’s lap.

“Legacy?” Selene raised her head to look at the handsome young man, who was her Master’s lover. “What Legacy?”

“A special power that is exclusive to this place,” Ethan tried to explain the nature of a Legacy. “It is something quite powerful that allows a Wizard or Witch to gain a new source of power.”

Selene pondered for a bit before shaking her head.

“I don’t sense anything like that in the Janga Valley,” Selene replied. “Maybe it exists in the other territories.”

Ethan sighed, having already expected to receive this answer.

Selene knew Janga Valley since it was her own backyard. If there was a mysterious power in her territory, she would have certainly investigated it without a doubt.

However, after she confirmed that no such thing existed in Janga Valley, Ethan pondered for a bit.

‘It is either in the Harrowing Desert, the Abel Plains, or in the Ymir Mountains,” Ethan thought. ‘Too bad, we only have a few more days left to explore. We don’t have much time left.’

Although the young man wanted to find where the Legacy was inside the domain, he decided that it would be more beneficial to continue gathering resources in the Janga Valley than searching around aimlessly.

Even though he felt disappointed about not getting the main prize of this expedition, subjugating the Ancient Wendigo, acquiring the corpse of the Giant Black Snake, as well as getting the resources of Janga Valley was more than enough for him to recognize that his gains weren't small either.

Since that was the case, Ethan no longer bothered with the Legacy and focused on getting as many resources as they could.

Soon, the last day of the one-month expedition was upon them.

Ethan and his teammates all ate a hearty breakfast before deciding to return to the Legacy Gate.

Selene was now Luna’s familiar, so she was able to merge with the angelic beauty’s body, allowing her to leave the domain with her Master.

Everyone then took out their Escape Rune.

“Let’s go,” Ethan ordered.

His teammates nodded and broke their Escape Runes at the same time.

A few seconds later, they found themselves standing in front of the Legacy Gate, where Professor Barret was waiting for them.

To Ethan’s surprise, his other teammates, whom they met in Ascot Town of the Abel Plains, were already standing beside the Professor.

Zane Blackbane, Sabrina Hayden, Brenna Rosewood, Odelia Brooke, and Brock Blackwell.

These people looked a bit haggard, but after seeing Ethan’s group, their initially bleak eyes lit up as if relieved to see that their teammates were all alive and well.

Bridget, Sefarina, Ace, and Archer all reluctantly returned to their respective academies.

Their time with Ethan was a bit short, but they knew for certain that their families would pull a few strings in order to transfer them to Brynhildr Academy, where their Master was currently at.

Since that was the case, they decided to act low profile for the time being to prevent others from being suspicious of their relationship with Ethan.

“Only Henry and the others are left,” Professor Barret said with a smile. But, the relief in his voice couldn’t be hidden. “All of you did a good job in coming back alive.”

Ethan nodded, but he still felt several gazes filled with killing intent, looking in his direction.

The handsome young man glanced at the people who were staring at him with a calm expression on his face.

They were the Students, Professors, and Headmasters of their rival Academies, and it was quite easy to tell that they wanted nothing more than to shred him to pieces.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t do that.

Members of the Magical Bureau and a handful of Magistratus were at the scene to ensure that no trouble would happen.

Nero knew that things might get out of hand due to the rivalries between academies, so he decided to call for the Peace Keepers and the Police of the Wizarding World, to ensure that there would not be a bloodbath on the last day of the expedition.

Since Professor Barret was a former Magistratus, all the Magistratus on the scene treated the living legend with respect.

The Professor might look harmless, but he was in fact the strongest Magistratus when he was still on active duty.

Because of this, he had become somewhat of an idol among the ranks of the Magistratus, and everyone wanted to be like him.

The Academies that hated Brynhildr Academy knew this very well. So, for the time being, they bottled up their anger.

The last thing they wanted was to make the police of the Magical World their enemy. If that really happened, they would have to hide themselves for the rest of their lives or risk being sent to the Magical Prison of Aldebaran.

Ethan and the others waited patiently for Henry and his team to return.

When the handsome young man asked Professor Barret whether Cedric and his team had returned, the Ex-Magistratus told him that they returned four days ago.

Their emergence had caused quite a scene since the King Manticore was a very big and powerful creature.

Of course, the Staff of Nightfall Academy was ecstatic after seeing the beast. They even helped the teenagers carry it back to the academy and had their Headmaster, Nero, handle the rest.

Hours flew past, and more students emerged from the portal.

As the deadline for the Portal’s closure neared, Ethan and his people were starting to feel anxious.

Even Professor Barret, who usually looked calm, couldn’t help but lightly tap his foot on the ground as he looked at the gate with his arms crossed over his chest.

Finally, in the last hour, four people emerged from the portal.

Nicole, Garnet, Rowan, and Henry, whose entire robe was covered with blood, appeared in front of everyone.

Just as Professor Barret was about to ask what happened, the Head Prefect of Dud Manor collapsed on the ground with blood seeping from the corner of his lips.
