After the battle between the Jaeger Manor, and the Terra Manor ended, Ethan returned to the Dud Manor and locked himself up inside his room.
There he meditated and entered Illumina’s world in order to better understand the series of events that happened during the battle between Lily and Kurt.
“In terms of raw power, speed, and magic, Lily surpasses me by leaps and bounds,” Ethan said softly. “Can I really not use Partial Resonance in my fight against her, Illumina?”
“Yes,” the Mermaid Princess replied firmly. “Only if you want to lose the ability to use magic for the rest of your entire lifetime, then you can go ahead and try. I won’t stop you.”
The teenage boy sighed because how could he possibly do that.
Ever since he discovered that he, too, could use magic, albeit with limitations, he felt as if a brand new world had opened up to him.
For him to risk it all in a magical duel, no matter how important it was would be foolish of him.
