Earlier, Lilian told him that she would go see her brother because something important came up. At that time, Ethan already had a feeling that whatever that important thing was had a relation to the special mission that Professor Rinehart wanted him to do.

"Please sit down, Ethan," Professor Rinehart said. "We will discuss the special mission that will be assigned to you, Cedric and Lilian."

Ethan nodded and sat on the chair opposite Cedric.

Ever since Lilian\'s brother had transferred to Brynhildr Academy, he easily became the most popular guy, only second to Ethan.

Back in Nightfall Academy, he was already very famous because he was handsome and powerful, plus he was also a very charismatic individual.

When he first lost to Ethan, it made Cedric understand that the world didn\'t revolve around him.

There was always someone better than him, and this wake up call pushed him to train not only his fighting prowess, but also his magical abilities.

He recognized Ethan as a rival and deemed that he was indeed worthy of his sister, Lilian. Both of them had interacted a few times, and although they don\'t see each other very often, their relationship was better than what it had been in the past.

Seeing that all three were now ready to listen to him, Professor Rinehart delved into the heart of the matter.

"Professor Barret was supposed to accompany the three of you on this mission," Professor Rinehart said. "But something just as important came up, so I had no choice but to send him alone to deal with another urgent matter. This leaves the three of you to do this mission on your own.

"However, let me make it clear-if you discover that this mission is too dangerous for the three of you, you must retreat and wait for reinforcements. Do I make myself clear?"

The three teenagers nodded in understanding.

"Good," Professor Rinehart then lightly tapped the crystal ball on top of his table.

A moment later, a projection appeared in front of them, displaying the face of the Headmaster of Nightfall Academy, Nero Maddox.

Cedric and Lilian were already familiar with their former Headmaster, and both of them felt guilty for transferring to another academy instead of finishing their studies at Nightfall Academy.

"It\'s good to see that the two of you are doing well," Nero said with a smile as he looked at Cedric and Lilian.

After a while, he glanced at Ethan and gave him the "it\'s your fault that they left my academy!" gaze, which made the young man smile bitterly.

"Before anything else, I would like to say that whatever you are going to hear inside this room should not leave this room," Professor Nero stated. "Something unprecedented is happening in Grandshire, and it is not only Nightfall Academy that is affected.

"Other academies have also experienced this, so we are taking this matter seriously. Dozens of Witches have gone missing ever since we opened our Mission Hall for Field Missions.

"But the most concerning thing about these serial disappearances is the fact that, when these witches went missing, their teammates don\'t know how it happened. We have every reason to believe that either they were abducted in secret, or someone tampered with the memories of their teammates.

"Because of this, we have stopped giving missions to our students, and our Professors are now busy trying to bring the rest back to the academy. But it\'s not easy. Some missions require them to travel far, and we\'re very worried that they might go missing as well." Cedric and Lilian both became solemn after hearing their previous Headmaster\'s news.

Although it was not proven yet, there was a high possibility that their friends had also gone missing. Because of this, they were very eager to start their mission and find the whereabouts of the missing witches.

"We are also gathering the Elite Wizards of Nightfall Academy so that they can form several search parties," Professor Nero added. "But since the possibility that this same incident will also happen in Eastshire, we decided to inform all the academies, including Brynhildr Academy, about this incident.

"I hope that all of you can work together to solve this mystery and bring the students back home safely. The majority of the teams sent by the other Academies will be meeting here in Nightfall Academy.

"I hope that all of you can begin your travels as soon as possible and meet the other teams, who will undertake the rescue missions. Having the three of you here means a lot to me. I will not forget this favor, and will repay it properly in the future."

"Headmaster, please don\'t say that," Cedric replied. "Although I\'m no longer in Nightfall Academy, I will come to its aid as long as I am needed."

"The same goes for me, Headmaster," Lilian stated. "I will do my best to find the missing witches of our academy."

"Thank you." Professor Nero smiled. "I look forward to seeing the two of you here in Nightfall Academy. The same goes for you, Ethan. Although I want to blame you for playing the biggest role in enticing two prodigies of my academy to transfer to Brynhildr Academy, I also know that you are not at fault.

"As long as you can help us solve this mystery, I will make sure to attend your wedding with Lilian."

Since everyone looked serious, Professor Nero decided to lighten up the atmosphere by throwing a joke. Unfortunately, Lilian was too worried to feel embarrassed about the Headmaster\'s sudden announcement.

"I will do my best, Professor Nero," Ethan replied.

Professor Nero nodded. "Good. I will be waiting for your arrival at Nightfall Academy. See you soon."

A moment later, the projection faded, and a brief silence descended inside the room, which was broken by Professor Rinehart\'s light cough.

"This is a very concerning incident, and I\'m worried that whatever happened in Grandshire might reach us as well," Professor Rinehart said. "That said, we need to get into the bottom of this mystery and make sure that there will be no more victims."

The Headmaster of the Academy sighed before glancing in Ethan\'s direction.

"Given the urgency of this matter, I hope you can lend your Flying Ship for this mission, Ethan," Professor Rinehart said. "I already told Enzo about it, and he said that as long as you agreed, they would lend their aid."

"I understand, Professor." Ethan nodded. "I\'ll have them prepare for departure right away." "Thank you, Ethan," Professor Rinehart before shifting his attention to Cedric and Lilian. "I hope that all of you return safely, and may fortune smile upon the three of you."

A few minutes later, Ethan, Lilian and Cedric left the Headmaster\'s Office together. "I\'ll go and see Merric to inform them about our mission," Ethan said. "Since we need to pack up and prepare our supplies, let\'s all meet up at Dud Manor in four hours."

Lilian and Cedric nodded before returning to their respective manors to start preparing for

their journey.

As Ethan walked toward the Northern Tower of the academy, he wondered if the nagging feeling he had was related to the mission that they were about to undertake.

But since he had no idea whether that was the case or not, he did the only thing he could do, and that was to make sure he was thoroughly prepared for the journey to Nightfall Academy.
