Chapter 124 - Asking Their Strengths
"Anyways, Lawrend. Is she your maid?"
Humility couldn't help but ask. She pointed her finger at Aezel who stood behind him with a mask on her face.
"Yes. She follows me around."
Lawrend nodded his head and didn't explain to her in detail.
"Hmm… I see."
Humility looked at Aezel with interest.
...
Class ended and Lawrend walked alone with Aezel tailing behind him silently. Humility had already gone a separate way. He was currently heading towards the academy's gate.
"Master!"
A voice called out to him from behind.
Lawrend turned around, and he saw Elena waving her hand as she ran towards him.
"Didn't I tell you to not call me 'Master'?"
Lawrend looked at her coldly. This was her second time doing it.
"Ah, sorry, Master."
Elena bowed her head in apology.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
Lawrend straightened her back up in a panic. He looked around, and he saw other students looking at them weirdly.
"I'm apologizing?"
Elena replied to Lawrend with a silly smile.
"... Let's go."
Lawrend shook his head at her.
"Master, was your first day at the academy, fun?"
Elena asked him as she walked beside him.
"It was interesting."
Lawrend replied to her with a smile.
"Interesting?"
Elena furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"Magic is…" (...similar to physics. It just has extra steps.)
Lawrend didn't say it out loud. He felt like he had an advantage over the people of this world. He just needs to grasp this magic theory, and then he can advance to be a Second-Year student easy-peasy.
"Magic is what?"
Elena was confused when Lawrend omitted his words.
"Forget it. Let's meet up with Aleshia and Ella then we can go home."
Lawrend shook his head. Elena could only forget about it.
They waited beside the gate for Aleshia and Ella.
"Master!"
Aleshia greeted Lawrend with a joyous smile on her face. She held Ella's hand with her.
"Why do you girls keep forgetting what I said?"
Lawrend didn't know what to say to her. They keep forgetting his words that they shouldn't call him Master in the academy.
"Let's go home. I have something to ask each of you."
Lawrend nodded his head at them.
They then headed back to the Phoenix-Dragon Inn. What was obvious was that some people were looking at them from afar. They observed Lawrend's group sneakily.
…
Once they were back in the room, Lawrend turned to them and asked.
"Elena, how strong are you right now?"
Lawrend asked her with peering eyes.
"I'm a High Mage already, Master."
Elena replied to him with a smug smile.
"Aleshia, how strong are you?"
Lawrend turned to her and asked.
"I just became a True Mage today."
Aleshia replied to him with a proud smile on her face.
"And you, Ella?"
Lawrend asked her.
"Young Master, Ella is still a Beginner Mage…"
Ella replied, downcast. Her big sister had already surpassed her even though they both started practicing magic at the same time.
"Your years?"
Lawrend turned to Elena first.
"Third-Year."
She replied.
"Second-Year."
Aleshia replied.
"Ella is not sure, Young Master. Ella studies under a private instructor."
Ella replied.
"That's understandable. You practice a unique magic, after all."
Lawrend nodded his head. He knew that Ella practices Space Magic according to Olgar.
"Anyways, Master. How about you? Did you enjoy your first day?"
Elena asked Lawrend curiously. She wanted to know how it went.
"Fufufu. I'll answer for Master. He already went on a date with a beautiful woman in his class."
Aezel replied to her with a laugh. She had already removed her mask and the illusion that was hiding her horns.
"M-Master did!?"
Elena looked at Aezel in disbelief.
"..."
Aleshia was speechless.
"Yes. She was even the one who invited him to eat."
Aezel nodded her head and added.
"Master, we're rooting for you!"
Elena said to him with her eyes shining.
"What are you all saying? She's just a friend."
Lawrend replied to them with a wry smile on his face.
"Really?"
Aleshia looked at him skeptically.
"Why aren't you believing me?"
Lawrend asked her with a frown.
"Master, your technique and ability will make her submit to you without a doubt!"
Aleshia said to him seriously.
"I'm not that impressive."
Lawrend shook his head. If it weren't for his previous life's memories then he would just be nothing in this world.
Aezel: "Master, you're saying that, but you turned your Beginner Magic Spell into a True Magic Spell within five minutes."
Aezel said to Lawrend in displeasure.
"Is it really that impressive? It felt so easy."
Lawrend looked at her in confusion. He didn't think that he did something incredible.
"Master, I'm already a Noble Demon, yet I still can't make a Beginner Magic Spell whenever I want. I need to have enlightenment first."
Aezel explained to him.
Aleshia: "Yes, Master. She's right. Once she learns of your incredible ability and even your talent, she will surely be head over heels for you."
Aleshia nodded her head firmly at Aezel's words.
"...Then, wouldn't it be nice if we add another member?"
Lawrend suddenly said to them with a smirk on his face.
Aleshia: "Master…"
Aezel: "Master…"
Elena: "Master…"
The three of their mouths were left open in shock.
"Well, what's the use thinking of all of these?"
Lawrend shrugged his shoulders, seeing their shocked expressions.
"Y-Yeah… It's not bad to get more help."
Aleshia nodded her head forcefully.
"Mm. Master will have more maids."
Elena nodded her head.
"Fufufu. As expected of Master, the father of my child."
Aezel stared at Lawrend lovingly.
"Speaking of child…"
Lawrend winked at the three of them and leered at their bodies.
"... Come, Ella. Let's go visit Nimnim and Fefe."
Aleshia understood what Lawrend meant, and she turned to Ella and urged her to leave the room with her.
"I'll return later."
Aleshia said to them before she winked at Lawrend.
"Alright."
Lawrend and the rest nodded their heads. Aleshia left the room and closed the door.
"Fufufu. Elena, I'll guide you."
Aezel held Elena's shoulders from behind. She then pushed her down, making Elena kneel in front of Lawrend.
