53 We Don’t Need A Blood Oath Between Us
“I need someone’s approval first?” Ethan asked back. “I need someone to give me approval so I can use magic?”
“No need to ask twice, are you dumb?” Chessy replied. “Don’t worry, I know that person well and knowing her tendencies, there is a high chance that she will approve of helping you.”
“So, who is that person?” Ethan inquired.
“Her,” Chessy answered as it used its chin to point in Luna’s direction.
Ethan glanced at the angelic beauty who looked back at him in confusion.
“Me?” Luna asked. “What do you mean, Chessy?”
“Um, it’s a bit complicated, but all you need to do is cast a certain spell on the night of the full moon,” Chessy stated. “This spell will draw out any kind of magic power that is lying dormant within a person. Of course, this won’t always work. You can even say that the ancient Wizards and Witches used this method in order to find magically endowed people during their time.
“This ceremony is also very common among small magical communities, who are looking for people with potential to use magic within the Ordinarius.”
Luna was genuinely surprised by Chessy’s explanation. She didn’t know that there was a method to awaken the dormant magical power of a person who possessed the gift of magic.
“If such a miraculous spell exists, why doesn’t everyone use it?” Luna asked.
“My Dear, if it was that easy, everyone including their mother, father, grandma, and grandpa would be tested for magical power.” Chessy shook its head. “Only a dozen or so people within each generation had this ability. Only those who possessed Moon Magic, Star Magic, Sun Magic, and Divine Magic are able to use this spell.
“I have a feeling that when you graduate from Brynhildr Academy, the Magical Bureau will approach you and ask for your help in this regard. The only reason why they aren’t doing this now is because your own power still hasn’t fully awakened.”
The Chesmire Cat smirked as it glanced at the angelic beauty who seemed to be overwhelmed by the flood of information that she learned just now.
A few minutes later, Luna finally managed to regain her composure and asked Chessy a question.
“You just said that my power still hadn’t fully awakened,” Luna stated. “Even so, can I still draw out the power lying dormant inside Ethan’s body?”
“It won’t hurt anyone if you try,” Chessy replied. “Also, like I said earlier, even if you manage to awaken his power, he would only be able to use it for a short period of time. Perhaps, it will last for only a half a day. He’ll be lucky if he can use it for an entire day.”
Luna glanced at Ethan, and saw the handsome teenager looking back at her with a hopeful gaze. His gaze was enough to convey the raw emotions that he was feeling at the moment, needing no words to be spoken between them.
“I will do my best, Ethan,” Luna replied. “If I am able to help you use Magic, I will definitely do everything in my power to help.”
“Thank you, Luna,” Ethan said with gratitude. “I will remember this favor for the rest of my life.”
The Chesmire Cat chuckled before licking its paw.
When it saw Ethan, the chubby black cat felt something familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. It was as if it had met Ethan before, but it was certain that this was the first time he had seen the blue-haired teenager.
‘Maybe I’m just overthinking things,’ Chessy thought as he gave the handsome teenager a side-long glance. ‘Still, why does he seem familiar?’
The Chesmire Cat had met many Wizards, Witches, and magical creatures in its life.𝞸𝔳𝗅xt.𝓒𝒪𝓂
It also had an Eidetic Memory, allowing it to recall anything it had seen, heard, tasted, and felt in the past with high precision. Clearly, if it had really seen Ethan in the past, it would recall this memory right away.
The fact that it couldn’t put its paw on the nagging thought at the back of its head proved that it had no memory of Ethan whatsoever. But, the feeling of familiarity wouldn’t go away no matter how much it tried to deny it.
“Okay, settle down,” the Chesmire Cat said. “I might not be here during the day of the full moon, so I will pass the spell to you Luna. However, remember this. No matter what happens, do not let other people know that you learned this spell.
“This spell is only known by those old farts at the Magic Bureau and the High-Ranking Magistratus. Letting them discover this secret will put you at great risk. If you don’t want to become a tool who has lost its freedom, make sure to keep your lips shut tight. That includes you as well, Boy.”
The Chesmire Cat narrowed its feline eyes at the handsome teenager. Although it liked to play pranks on people, it didn’t want Luna to get hurt. After all, she was one of the few people in the academy that truly cared for it.
“I promise I won’t tell anyone,” Ethan replied before shifting his gaze at the angelic beauty, who might be able to help him make his dreams come true. “We can create a Blood Oath if you want to, Luna.”
Luna firmly shook her head. “I trust you, Ethan. I believe that you will not do anything to harm me.”
“I won’t.”
“I know. This is why we don’t need a Blood Oath between us.”
Luna then walked towards Chessy, who was on top of the table and lowered her head. This was not the first time that the Chesmire Cat had passed a spell to her, so she already knew what to do.
Chessy smiled before raising its paw and lightly pressed it over Luna’s forehead.
The two stayed in this position for nearly half a minute before the chubby black cat lowered its paw, and nodded its head in satisfaction.
“It is done,” Chessy stated. “Just wait until the night of the full moon in order to do this. Also, remember this. A phenomenon might happen when you activate this spell, which might attract others’ attention. If you are going to do this ceremony, make sure to do it in a place where no one can see it.
“Doing it inside the Dud Manor is no good, because these walls are protected by magical enchantments. If something unexpected happens, it might trigger its defensive abilities and things will get messy after that. The Secret Hideout that I told you about, Luna, will do well for this task. It is a good distance away from the Academy, and is relatively safe. No one will find you guys there.”
Luna nodded. She often visited the Secret Hideout that Chessy was talking about whenever she wanted to practice her Moon Magic, away from the eyes of others.
Now that its role was done, Chessy bid goodbye to the two teenagers and vanished without a trace.
It still had plenty of people to visit inside the academy.
People that loved and hated it for the things it had done in the past, and the things that it would do in the future.
