Luna was indeed a beauty.
Her angelic features had made every member, including the ladies of Dud Manor, want to spoil and protect her at all cost.
Although she wasn’t necessarily a Dud, her unique magical ability was something that could only be used on the days of the full moon. Because of this, the Headmaster of the Academy, Professor Rinehart decided to place her in Dud Manor where she felt welcomed by everyone there.
Now, this same angelic beauty was taking Ethan to their club house that specialized in creating magical items that could be bought by using Gold Coins or Merit Points.
After coming to the realization that he didn’t need to think so hard about how to use magic, the blue-haired boy decided to use whatever means he could in order to enjoy his academy life.
As one of the Pillars of the First Years, he received a monthly allowance of 500 Gold Coins. If his Grandma knew that her Grandson was receiving so much money, she would definitely ask Ethan to send her half of it for “safe keeping”.
This money had been given to Ethan personally by Professor Rinehart, so he had some funds to splurge on the gadgets that the Magical Trinket Club was selling.
‘Even though I can’t use Magic, I can still use magical items,’ Ethan thought. ‘That in itself is a good thing. Although it’s not my own magic, it is still magic.’
Ethan couldn’t count the number of times when he wished he could cast a simple spell like Lux Aeterna.
Fortunately, the White Pearl was able to solve this issue. In fact, Ethan was so happy after receiving the White Pearl from Henry that he almost used up its magic.
The good news was that this was a normal consumable item. This meant that he could buy as many as he wanted from the Terra Manor after he finished visiting Luna’s Club House.
“Um, I checked the calendar and found out that the Full Moon will happen in two weeks,” Ethan said. “I don’t know what Moon Magic is like. Can you show it to me in two week’s time?”
“… You want to see Moon Magic?” Luna asked back.
“I can’t?”
“You can. This is the first time someone has taken the initiative to ask me what Moon Magic is like.”
Ethan smiled because he was now finally able to find a topic that could make the shy lady talk.
“As you know, my magic is nearly non-existent,” Ethan stated. “Because of this, I am very fascinated by the magic of others. According to Professor Violet, all Wizards and Witches are born with their own Origin Magic. I am very curious about what your Origin Magic is like.”
“… I see.” Luna lowered her head.
Although she tried to hide it, the blue-haired boy was able to see the tinge of red creeping up her cheeks, which made her look more endearing in his eyes.
‘This adorable creature must be protected at all cost,’ Ethan thought.
He didn’t know if Luna was subconsciously releasing some kind of pheromone, but whatever she was releasing, it was enough to make Ethan feel overprotective of her.
Ten minutes later the two finally arrived at the Magical Trinket Club House, where a crowd of Wizard and Witches was busy buying the items that they had for sale.
Just as Ethan was about to fall in line, Luna grabbed hold of his arm and shook her head.
“You don’t need to line up,” Luna said in a volume that only he could hear. “We don’t sell all our stocks in the front store, so you don’t need to go there. I will take you through the backdoor.”
Ethan could have hugged Luna then and there, but knowing how shy she was with strangers, he simply placed his hands behind his back and followed her.
True to her word, Luna took him to the backdoor of the clubhouse, away from the eyes of the teenage boys and girls who were still lining up outside the front of the store.
Naturally, there were people who noticed Luna’s and Ethan’s figures, but after recognizing who they were, they didn’t call out to them and simply stayed in line, waiting for their turn.
“Come with me,” Luna said as he guided her new friend to the maze of the clubhouse. There was a special magic placed in the interior of the club, which made it impossible for non-club members to navigate their way around it.
This was made to prevent theft, and deter anyone who wanted to get the blueprints of the items that were made by their Club Members.
Five minutes later, Luna opened a door where she was immediately welcomed by a lady with long red hair, wearing glasses.
“You’re finally here, Luna,” the lady said. “And it seems that you’ve brought a friend… or is he perhaps your boyfriend?”
“H-He’s not my boyfriend.” Luna immediately reddened. “We live in the same Manor. His name is Ethan.”
“Oh, don’t worry, Little Luna, I know very well who he is,” the lady gave Luna a hug. ”He is one of the Pillars of the First Years, the newest member of the Dud Manor, Ethan Gremory. He’s quite famous in the Academy, you know?”
Ethan, who heard that he was famous, immediately straightened his posture and acted like a refined, elegant, and charismatic young man, which made the red-haired lady giggle.
“You’re more handsome up close,” the lady said with a smile. “How about it? Our Little Luna is still single. She’s also from a good family. You won’t lose out if you make her your girlfriend. So, what do you think, Mr. Pillar? Do you want to sweep her off of her feet?”
Ethan was very tempted to say yes, but because he knew that it would trouble Luna, he simply smiled and nodded his head.
“I’m sure that any teenage boy in the academy would want Luna to be his lover,” Ethan stated. “If someone dares to call her ugly, the entire Dud Manor would be out for blood.”
“Including you?” the red-haired lady asked in a teasing tone.
Ethan nodded. “Yes. Including me. I’d definitely smack anyone who dared to call Luna ugly.” 𝑂𝒱𝗅xt.𝒸𝑶𝓂
The blue-haired boy and the red-haired girl then both glanced at the shy, young lady, whose entire face was now beet red, due to Ethan’s words, which she hadn’t heard before in her life.

A//N: As you guys may have already noticed, this story, as well as the other story, Kingdom Building Done Right! cannot be seen in my profile. Because of this, I cannot add Author Notes and explain stuff about the novel.
The reason for this is because these two new stories are both non-exclusive novels that I plan to create a webtoon for. Meaning, they are not NovelFull Exclusive stories. Currently, the studio that is working on my webtoon are doing the finishing touches for the Webtoon Logo, as well as Chapters 1-3.
All of them are already drawn, and just needed to be colored. Now, to end this long rant, this novel will have its chapters locked soon. So, enjoy it now, while it lasts.
Also, give me reviews! this Novel still doesn’t have a star rating. You guys should help, and make it happen. My goal is to publish at least 2 chapters a day, but procrastination and lazyness is preventing me to do that. Give me a reason to publish chapters 2x a day and I will make it happen.
Last, and not the least, thanks for your continuous patronage, and I’ll see you all in the next chapters!
