Ethan and Nicole sat on the couch together, with the young lady resting her head on his shoulder.
The two of them were just holding hands, and yet, he felt as if he was holding a block of ice in his hands.
Even so, he didn’t feel uncomfortable or bothered by its coldness.
Ethan also found this quite baffling. But if he was able to help ease Nicole’s suffering, then he would not hesitate to do it.
“I guess you’re pushing yourself during your training,” Ethan said. “I have also been trained by Professor Barret, and I can tell you that he sometimes doesn't hold back his punches. I can’t count the number of times I passed out during our training.”
Nicole smiled faintly after hearing Ethan’s training story.
Currently, she and Alice were being trained by the Ex-Magistratus who had been hailed as the strongest Wizard to take the position.
And just as Ethan mentioned, Professor Barret sometimes didn't hold back his punches.
