Combat Maid Harem Chapter 67 - Olgar’s Guidance

Lawrend opened the door and entered the room. He looked around, but he couldn't find Olgar anywhere. There was only a double bed there with a desk to the right.

"Mr. Olgar?"

Lawrend called his na in puzzlent.

"Lawrend, I'm here."

Olgar walked out of the bathroom located to the left side half-naked. He was wearing a white towel to cover his lower half.

"Mr. Olgar, do you have ti?"

Lawrend asked him.

"Do you want sothing from ?"

Olgar asked him curiously. He held another towel in his hand and wiped his black hair.

"Y-Yes. If you could teach magic, please! I feel like reading books is not enough."

Lawrend stuttered when he asked Olgar. It was because he didn't know how Olgar would react.

"What is your elent?"

Olgar asked him.

"Huh? I think it's Lightning."

Lawrend was confused why he was asking that. Nevertheless, he still answered.

"Then I can't help you."

Olgar shook his head.

"Why?"

Lawrend looked at him shocked and confused.

"If you hadn't noticed, I am a Wind-elent High Mage. I can only teach you basic stuff."

Olgar explained to him. There was a fundantal difference between elents that makes it impossible for a mage to teach soone with a different elent.

"The basic stuff is enough!"

Lawrend shouted in reply.

"Didn't your tutor teach you the basic stuff?"

Olgar asked Lawrend in bewildernt.

"I never had soone tutor about magic."

Lawrend shook his head as he replied.

"Then, you learned magic by yourself!?"

Olgar looked at Lawrend in shock.

"No. I actually got a Beginner Magic Spell. When I chanted it, I suddenly had magic inside ."

Lawrend shook his head and explained to him.

"Ah. Then that's normal. I thought you created your own magic spell. I would have kidnapped you and dragged you to the headquarters of the Mage Guild if you were."

Olgar said to him with a smile on his face.

"Haha… I don't know what to feel about that."

Lawrend laughed awkwardly.

"Can you tell how a magic spell works? And why does it give magic when cast for the first ti?"

Lawrend asked Olgar with a face full of curiosity. This was sothing he had been wondering about before.

"I'm quite curious, why didn't your father hire a Mage to tutor you?"

Instead of answering his question, Olgar asked him one of his own.

"..."

Lawrend was silent for a while before he opened his mouth.

"My father wanted to be a successful rchant. He never discussed with if I wanted to beco a swordsman or a mage."

Lawrend replied.

"I'm sorry to say this, but your father is stupid. He should have at least tested if you were capable of using magic when you reached 7 years old. It seems to that you only started practicing magic recently."

Olgar said to him half apologetic and half mockingly.

"I-I don't know."

Lawrend replied with a stutter. It was awkward hearing soone call his respected father stupid.

"To answer your question earlier, for , spells are there to guide you on how your magic will work. Once you reach a certain point, you can insta-cast that spell. Like , I can insta-cast my True Mage Magic Spell 'Vortex Whirlwind'. I used it before to protect us from the winds when we were flying here."

Olgar answered his question earlier in a detailed manner.

Lawrend looked down and held his chin in thought. A few seconds later, he looked at Olgar and opened his mouth.

"Does that an that you still need to chant your High Mage Magic Spells?"

Lawrend asked him.

"Haha. Of course, I do. Only after I beco an Arch Mage would I be able to do that."

Olgar answered Lawrend's question with a short laugh as he found Lawrend's question funny.

"I understand. But could you learn more than one spell?"

Lawrend nodded his head in understanding before asking. This was sothing that was bothering him. The books that he read were useless as it doesn't provide this information.

"You can learn as much as you like."

Olgar replied to Lawrend's question. Lawrend's eyes imdiately glowed brightly. He decided to learn a lot of spells then.

"But I don't recomnd it. In fact, no one does. It's hard to get used to your magic spell. If you keep using different magic spells, it would take far longer before you could insta-cast it. For example, it might even take till you beco a High Mage before you can insta-cast a Beginner Magic Spell."

Olgar shook his head just as Lawrend was thinking of abusing it. His words brought down Lawrend's excitent to disappointnt.

"That sucks. Then the answer to my second question?"

Lawrend nodded his head with a sigh. He got his hopes up for nothing.

"It's simple. Our bodies have latent mana. When we chant a magic spell that resonates with the latent mana inside our bodies, it would appear, and you would then be a mage of that elent. Which is also why we only have one elent as our bodies can't store latent mana of another elent."

Olgar explained to Lawrend.

"We can only have one elent?"

Lawrend asked, stunned. He was even thinking of trying out other elents.

"There are exceptions, but those are very talented mages. Even with your greater mana purity, you're like a firefly comparing yourself against the moon with them."

Olgar looked at Lawrend solemnly. Sothing about this topic made him serious.

"Thank you for your guidance!"

Lawrend bowed his head towards Olgar. It would have taken Lawrend a long ti to learn these pieces of information if he didn't tell him.

"It's nothing. You're one of us, after all."

Olgar smiled in return. He felt happy that he was able to teach sothing to Lawrend.

"I'll go practice magic, Mr. Olgar. I'll see you again later."

Lawrend bid his farewell to Olgar and left the room.

"You can ask anything if you have any questions."

Olgar said to Lawrend just as he left.

Lawrend walked out of the door with a wide smile on his face. His questions were finally answered. It's now ti for him to increase his mana reserve.
