Chapter 34: Shock Arc (1/2)

Lawrend opened his eyes and looked around. He noticed the cold and squishy purple blob in front of him- It was Allen, the slime he took as a pet.

”Is it morning already? That was some good sleep.”

Lawrend yawned as he sat up on the bed.

”Goodmorning, Young Master.”

There was a smile on Aleshia's face as she greeted Lawrend. She had already changed back to her maid uniform.

”Oh, good morning to you too.”

Lawrend answered in reflex.

”Wait, I didn't touch you last night, right?”

Lawrend widened his eyes as the memories of what happened last night came to him.

”You did. Haha”

Aleshia replied with a short laugh.

”I did!? F***!”

Lawrend cursed hard in frustration. He couldn't believe that he did something without him even realizing it.

”I was joking, Young Master.”

Aleshia giggled at Lawrend. She was having fun teasing him.

”Really? That's a relief.”

Lawrend was immediately overjoyed when he heard her say that it was a joke. He was finally able to show his sincerity to her.

”But you'd have to endure more days before I could fully trust you.”

Aleshia was very casual today. She just slept on a soft bed, and Lawrend kept his promise. It was a bit scary for a young maiden like her to sleep on a bed with a man she doesn't know well.

”I understand.”

There was a serene expression on Lawrend's face. It was to indicate his seriousness towards earning her trust.

”Alright, we have to go now, Young Master.”

Aleshia urged Lawrend, and they ate a quick breakfast at the inn's dining area before leaving. What they didn't know was that a black-cloaked figure was watching them silently.

...

Lawrend was finally able to have time to read the beginner magic spell that he got. He opened the scroll and started to read its contents.

'Shock Arc: A beginner electric element spell that releases a short burst of electric magic. It could reach up to 5 meters before dissipating into thin air.'

”Hmm… that sounds so cool..!”

Lawrend's eyes lit up in amazement as he looked at the description of the spell. Its name was so cool, and his imagination ran wild because of it. He imagined himself shocking monsters with it while chanting its name.

”Hehehe, I could finally start using magic!”

There was a mischievous grin on Lawrend's face as he laughed to himself.

Lawrend opened the cloth curtain covering the back of the carriage and sat facing outside.

”Uhum, I'll start chanting now….”

Lawrend prepared himself as he glanced at the scroll below him. He stretched his right hand out and started to chant the spell.
