Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 761: Meeting At Brynhildr Tower



"I'm sorry to call you here during the weekend, but there's an important announcement I need to make," Professor Rinehart said as he addressed the dozens of students whom he had called to Brynhildr's Tower.

Everyone had just finished eating lunch, so the majority of them were wondering what their Headmaster wanted to say to them.

However, Ethan had a hunch that Professor Rinehart would inform them what Chessy had told him a few hours ago.

The dozens of students that were gathered in the tower were no ordinary students. They were the students of Brynhildr Academy whom Professor Barret had chosen to be part of the Peacekeepers.

The Peacekeepers were Brynhildr Academy's Elite Squad who did undercover missions for the academy.

They were the students who dealt with Rogue Wizards and Witches, as well as any other individuals who sought to harm the students of the academy when they went outside to do their missions.

Henry and Nicole were part of the Peacekeepers when they were still First Years.

The Headmaster had deemed them capable and strong enough to help their fellow students in their time of need.

The Head Prefects of each Manor had also been gathered to hear the Headmaster's announcement.

"Forces from outside the Shire Continent have once again decided to trespass on our borders," Professor Rinehart stated. "But they are no ordinary trespassers. They are a race that once terrorized the world and had gone into hiding after they were defeated by the Tuatha De Danann.

"Unfortunately, after keeping a low profile for the past hundreds of years, it seemed they decided that it is now time for them to resurface once again."

The Professor scanned the faces of the students before continuing his explanation.

"The name of this race is the Fomorian," Professor Rinehart declared. "While not all of them are savages who like war and carnage, the majority of them are.

"This race will be sending their scouts into our domain, and their goal is to find the Lia Fail, which is also known as the Stone of Kings. But it also goes by another name, and that is the Stone of Destiny.

"Legend has it that it is able to recognize individuals who are meant to be a True King- people who are destined to rule their respective races and usher them to greater heights. And now, the Fomorians, who lost their Kings hundreds of years ago, are seeking this stone.

"They want to find their one True King, who would lead all of them to war, so they can recover what they lost and gain even more. We must not allow them to succeed. Right now, they are scattered into many tribes and factions. As long as they are divided, we stand a chance.

"Once they are united under one banner, then the difficulty of defending our land will increase drastically. For now, I want everyone to keep this news to yourselves because we need to use the utmost caution when it comes to dealing with these creatures.

"Once they find out that we are aware of their presence in our Domains, they might do something reckless and begin to kill those who cannot defend themselves. So, we must become vigilant and remain discreet while addressing this issue."

Professor Rinehart then made a gesture for Professor Barret to continue the explanation for how they would detect and deal with the Fomorians.

"Bear in mind that the Scouts the Fomorians will be sending are very powerful. Do not face them alone unless you are confident in your strength," Professor Rinehart said as he gave Ethan and George a side-long glance. "We will give you bracelets capable of detecting their presence.

"Its maximum range is a hundred-meter radius around you. If you discover that there are Fomorians in your vicinity, do not engage them at any cost and immediately report it to us. "Unless you are forced to fight them, do not fight them. If you really think that you are able to fight them, then ask this question to yourself first-can I defeat Ethan Gremory? If you believe that you are capable of doing that, then you may engage them as a group or as an individual.

"But if the answer is no, do not provoke them and just call for reinforcements. You are the Elite Students that our academy has high hopes for. We do not wish for any of you to perish just because you think that you will be able to gain fame and glory once you have dealt with the Fomorian yourself or as a group."

After Professor Barret's explanation finished, everyone glanced in Ethan's direction.

They already knew that Ethan was strong, and his strength had become more evident during the Initiation Ceremony of the First Years.

Now that Professor Barret had used him as a standard on how strong Fomorians were, some of the students no longer wished to fight these Fomorians head-on.

"Know that you will not be the only ones who will be on the lookout for these monsters," Professor Rinehart explained. "The other Academies, as well as the other Shire Nations, will be doing something similar. Let us all work together to protect our lands and ensure that your fellow students and the population of the Shire Continent will remain safe from harm."

"Please form two lines," Professor Barret ordered. "We will be giving you the bracelets that can detect Fomorians. Once again, keep everything you have heard today a secret. The less people who know, the better."

The Pillars of the First Years were also there to receive the bracelets from the Professor.

Among Ethan's lovers, Lily, Chloe, Lilian, and Emma, were there.

Nicole was also present, and to everyone's surprise, Sabrina was there too.

George's girlfriend whom many thought of as eccentric didn't strike Ethan as someone

strong.

However, Sebastian and his Other Half had a different opinion.

"Have you not wondered why Sabrina is not afraid of handling dangerous plants?" Sebastian asked. "It's because she has a knack for them."

"While she may not be a strong Spell Caster, she is very formidable as a Herbalist. Sometimes, these individuals are the most dangerous because they have a wide range of attacks including plants that secrete poison, cause paralysis, induce sleep, as well as other debuffs."

Ethan nodded in understanding. After taking the Herbology classes, he learned that there were many magical plants that were just as dangerous as powerful Wizards and Witches because of their characteristics.
