Wizard World Irregular

A few days later, Ethan attended his classes, and his presence made everyone look at him in a new light.

After the battle against the Fomorians and the Invaders from a different dimension, Ethan's name and deeds had spread all over the academy.

Even his old rival, Langston Kerr, who had been one of the Pillars of the First Years in Ethan's generation, had grown numb to the news of his accomplishments.

Back then, he looked down on Ethan because the latter was a nobody. But now, he could no longer look at the young man in contempt. Not only did he have countless achievements, but he also had a relationship with Lilian.

The Kerr Family was a Ducal Family.

As a high-ranking noble, he was privy to many secrets about the Kingdom, including Lilian's background, which was only known to those with extremely close ties to the Royal Family.

There was even a time when his parents had arranged for him to become Lilian's fiance.

But this was rejected by Lilian's Grandfather, Gilbert, the previous King of Eastshire.

He didn't want his granddaughter to be used as a political tool by anyone, especially since his daughter-in-law, Isabel, didn't want to be put in the spotlight.

However, the Kerr Family didn't give up and asked the current King of Eastshire to give his blessings to this union. Unfortunately for them, the answer they received was a firm no.

Right now, no one in Eastshire would dare to offend Ethan in any way.

Perhaps, this was true for the entire Shire Continent, especially after their rulers witnessed his prowess during the battle not long ago.

Ethan looked seriously at the new Professor, whose charming smile was making the Witches in his class blush as they looked at his handsome face.

'I knew this would happen,' Ethan thought as he looked at Godfrey, who was currently teaching the students how to fight against those who practiced the Dark Arts.

This was especially true for Vampires like him.

The young man was certain that if the other Vampires knew that their Vampire Lord was teaching the students of the academy how to subjugate them, all of them would howl in fury and spit at Godfrey before calling him a traitor of their race.

Of course, Godfrey didn't give a hoot whether the Vampires knew what he was teaching in the academy or not.

His father was the Progenitor of Vampires, so if they had any complaints, they could go talk to his father about it—if they dared!

"Humans have believed for centuries that Vampires are weak to garlic and silver bullets," Godfrey said in a carefree manner, even winking at one of the beautiful Witches, whose face immediately blushed after getting his attention.

The other girls giggled because their new Professor was very charismatic, and they liked him very much.

Of course, the opposite was true for the guys. They naturally abhorred Godfrey for very obvious reasons.

"And they are right about their assumptions." Godfrey smiled. "At least, half right."

The Vampire Lord then took out a garlic from his pocket and gave it a whiff before his face scrunched in displeasure.

"I mean, who in their right mind would like to sniff garlic?" Godfrey said animatedly, approaching one of the ladies closest to the podium. "Young lady, if it were you, would you wish to smell this garlic?"

"No," the young Witch shook her head.

"I know, right?" Godfrey then tossed the Garlic behind him. "No one wants to smell like garlic, so those who said that Vampires are afraid of them are right. But, as your Professor, let me say it upfront. Please, don't try to use garlic to fight a Vampire, okay?

"It might just be the last thing you'll ever do in this world. Of course, if you are a beautiful lady, you won't have to worry about dying because we are a race that appreciates warm-blooded beauties."

The Vampire Lord then glanced at the Wizards, stopping and letting his gaze hold Ethan's for a second longer before shifting his gaze to the other guys in the class, who were looking at him with various expressions on their faces.

Most wore expressions of hate, envy, jealousy, and a myriad of other emotions, which only made Godfrey chuckle internally.

He was very tempted to say that it wasn't his fault he was born handsome, so if they had a complaint, they should sue their parents for giving birth to ugly monkeys like them.

Of course, he wouldn't dare to say this out loud. His students—mostly the men, might really file a complaint to the Headmaster, and he didn't want that to happen.

"As for Silver Bullets, this is a misconception that has been passed through the years because of superstitions," Godfrey said before producing a silver bullet between his thumb and index finger out of nowhere.

"Silver Bullets are effective against Werewolves, not Vampires. As you may already know, our two races don't get along very well. So, by all means, kill as many of them as you can. I'll even reward you for doing so~"

Godfrey then casually brushed his hair as if making a statement, making the girls in the class giggle.

As if reaching their limit, one of the boys gritted their teeth and asked a question.

"Then, how do we fight against Vampires?" a Wizard with sharp features asked.

"Ah, we finally came to the crux of the matter," Godfrey replied with a smile. "Good job, Watson, for asking the obvious question."

"Sir, the name is Sherlock," the Wizard replied.

"I know, Watson, I know."

"…"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Godfrey then placed his hands behind his back and smiled at his class.

"There are actually a few ways to kill a vampire," Godfrey replied. "First is decapitation. I mean, even if we are nearly immortal, if you cut our head off, we can still die, you know?"

More giggles erupted from the class, and Ethan had to admit that Godfrey knew how to make his class entertaining.

"The next is sunlight. A Vampire will start to burn once they are exposed to sunlight." Godfrey then took out a sunblock from his pocket and lightly applied some on the back of his hand. "But I wear sunblock every day, so it doesn't work on me."

This time, even the guys couldn't help but chuckle because Godfrey's sense of humor was boring down in their bones.

"Fire is the most primitive and most raw among the elements. If you burn our bodies into ashes, we will not be able to regenerate. So, Fire Magic is very effective against us.

"There are also stories that stabbing our hearts with a stake of wood from Oaks, Ash, or Hawthorns will do the trick. Frankly, I don't recommend doing this unless you are confident in your close combat abilities.

"Since you are Wizards and Witches, shooting fireballs is your best bet. However, if you really want to get up close and personal, you can do so."

Godfrey then returned to his Podium and lightly tapped it with his hand.

"Also, we are weak to Holy Symbols," Godfrey stated. "For us, they're as hot as burning coals, so we don't want to touch them. Holy Weapons are very effective against us. If you happen to possess something like that, then most Vampires will not attack you… on the condition that you're stronger than them.

"Remember this, kids. Even if you are in possession of things that can potentially kill us, unless you are strong enough to use them, the one who'll die will still be you. So, my best advice for dealing with vampires is to simply avoid them.

"Run away if you can, but if you can't, then fight using the methods that I taught you. Perhaps, you may live to tell the tale of your first encounter with one, allowing you to pass your stories to the next generation of Vampire Slayers."

The Vampire Lord then started a question and answer portion, in which his students asked him any questions regarding vampires.

Ethan also participated, and Godfrey answered him, albeit using a teasing tone.

All in all, the Dark Arts Lesson was an eye-opening experience, and Ethan gave Godfrey a nine out of ten for keeping the class entertaining.

The only reason why he didn't give him a full score was due to the fact that the Vampire Lord still hadn't changed his habit of looking at the ladies, making their hearts skip a beat.

Godfrey didn't know that after his first class ended, he would become the Public Enemy No. 2 in the academy, second only to the Public Enemy No. 1, who was none other than Ethan.
