"Congratulations, Master!" Elena shouted.
Aezel: "Fufufu. As expected of Master!"
Aleshia: "Congratulations, Ren!"
Ella: "Congratulations, Master!"
Ramiela: "Lawrend, I approve of you."
Ramiela was convinced. Lawrend was soone who had a good future. She didn't want to admit it, but he was soone she couldn't look down upon.
"Master!" Ane shouted from afar.
They didn't sense it as they were far away. The wind could only travel so far in this thick forest.
They only realized it when they were on their way back.
"Did you succeed, Master?" Grape asked as she ran behind her.
"He is…"
Nao realized the change in Lawrend's disposition. He was powerful before, but now he was suffocating for her.
Lawrend cald down the raging mana exuding from his body and stood up.
"Master is an Arch Mage now," Nao blurted out.
"NYAAA!?" Ane and Grape exclaid in disbelief.
They expected him to only be able to use fire magic. They didn't think he would actually use that montum to beco an Arch Mage.
"I realized I could go on further, so I did it," Lawrend replied and smiled at them.
The insides of his body beca weird. Swirls of lightning and fire mana were everywhere.
He could materialize his soul inside his body, and it would glow various colors like a rainbow. He was now sure that his soul and body had different magic cultivation.
His soul wasn't restricted with the mana since he absorbed every elent of mana at the start. His body didn't, so that was the difference.
"You're amazing, Master!" Elena replied excitedly.
Lawrend was now as strong as her. They could have a duel again.
"Thank you for your help, Elena. I wouldn't be able to drain my mana that easily without your help," Lawrend said to her gratefully.
She acted like a battery earlier. He drained his mana to her, and he got it back after that.
"No problem, Master! I'm happy to help you," Elena replied and smiled at him.
"I don't regret my decision now," Aleshia said and walked towards him before embracing him.
"Thank you, Aleshia. I will fulfill my end of the agreent," Lawrend replied and embraced her back.
He also didn't regret it one bit. He was now a dual elent mage and an Arch Mage. His only problem was making new spells for fire magic.
"What agreent is that?" Aezel asked curiously.
"I will be the First Wife in the future!" Aleshia answered with a smirk on her face.
She had never felt so competitive before.
"Eh?" Aezel looked at her in disbelief.
Aleshia beca embarrassed and hid her smile when she saw the shock on Aezel's face.
"Wasn't it an accepted fact that you will be Master's First Wife?" Aezel asked.
"Eh?"
"Hehehe. I wanted the First Wife position, but I realized Sister Aleshia was more fit for it," Humility added.
"Yes, Big Sister. Everyone thought that you would be the First Wife in the first place," Ella said.
"M-Master, did you decide about this beforehand?" Aleshia asked him pleadingly.
She wanted him to say that he didn't. Otherwise, she would have betted sothing she already had.
"Actually… I have already decided about that long ago," Lawrend replied and avoided her eyes.
"M-Master! You tricked !" Aleshia exclaid sadly.
"Err… At least it's official now. I could have changed my mind in the future, you know?" Lawrend consoled her.
"I guess you're right…" Aleshia reluctantly accepted it.
"Master is so savage," Humility muttered.
"Hey, don't say it like that," Lawrend scolded her.
"Ehehehe."
Humility simply smiled back at him.
"Anyways, did the four of you get any ga?" Lawrend asked.
[AN: Ga is another term for hunted food. It's rarely used, but it's appropriate here.]
"We did. Let get it, Master," Ane replied.
She and Grape walked back towards where they ca from. Half a minute later, they returned, pulling the carcass of a wild boar.
"Wow! That's a good one," Lawrend comnted.
A boar is definitely better than getting a deer or any other at. The flesh is not too lean, and it's easier to eat.
They ate for the night.
…
Lawrend rested in his own makeshift tent. He sat in it cross-legged as he contemplated magic.
Attack-wise, his beginner fire mage spell is crap. He either gets a new one or creates his own. There wasn't anything in-between.
"What fire magic should I make?" Lawrend muttered out loud.
To create a magic spell, he would need an idea—a concept on how the magic would work.
Then he needed a basis for that idea—sothing like 'Ifrit' in the Glowing Fire Hand Spell.
After that, he needed to craft the chant, and lastly, a na for the spell.
Lawrend cald his thoughts. He rembered every fire he had seen both in this world and the past.
'Fireball?'
That was the first thought that entered his mind. In classical RPG, the first fire magic a mage class would learn was the Fireball Spell.
'Too basic.'
It was hard for him to choose. He needed one that was dynamic. After all, he would use this spell as the foundation for the True Mage, High Mage, and Arch Mage spells.
'Touch of Fire?'
He imagined this spell to be able to turn any enemies he touched into dust by using high-temperature flas.
'It's too high level,' Lawrend thought.
It wouldn't work as a Beginner Mage Spell due to the high amount of mana it would need.
'Wait! I can make this spell using the Glowing Fire Hand Spell!'
The realization sent Lawrend's mind whirring. The Glowing Fire Hand Spell is based on touch, too.
If he made the Glowing Fire Hand Spell even hotter, then he could achieve sothing similar.
'Wait! There's more! I can use it as a Flaming Punch!'
Lawrend opened his eyes widely in disbelief. The spell he initially thought was very useless turned out to be a very versatile spell.
Nao would not believe it if he told her that her seemingly useless spell could be transford in such a way.
