Chapter 68: Practicing Crazily (2/2)

Lawrend asked her worriedly.

”Y-Yes, I was startled. After all, your magic spell is deadly.”

Aleshia explained to him. Lawrend was reminded of the moment his Shock Arc spell killed goblins and threw their flesh into the air.

”I'm increasing my mana reserves, actually. Every time I use a magic spell, it increases a little bit after I recover.”

Lawrend explained to her with a smile.

”I see… Young M— I mean, Ren works really hard.”

Aleshia looked at him with admiration.

”Yes. I want to have the power to protect you.”

Lawrend said to her and flashed her a smile.

”Ren…”

Aleshia's eyes warmed hearing Lawrend's words. It was so sweet and inspiring for her.

”That was tiring.”

Lawrend rested his back on the bed frame. He was still only able to use his Shock Arc spell once. Doing it again would be impossible as his mana reserve is already empty.

”Ren, are you okay?”

Aleshia stood up from the bed and crouched beside him with worry evident on her face.

”I'm fine. I just feel tired.”

Lawrend reassured her. He slowly grew sleepy. Before long, he had already closed his eyes.

Aleshia looked at him with a smile. His face looks so serious while he's asleep. She stood up and walked towards the door.

…

Lawrend opened his eyes groggily. He looked around him and saw the white ceiling. Beside him was a bed frame.

”Ren, you're awake.”

Aleshia called out to him when she saw him open his eyes. He raised his body and looked at the mattress under him in confusion.

”I had the butler outside bring a spare mattress.”

Aleshia explained to him when she saw his confused face.

Lawrend looked out the window and saw that it was already night.

”I see.”

Lawrend said to her before he stood up and sat on the floor again.

”You're still gonna continue without eating?”

Aleshia asked him with worry on her face.

”Yes. I'll eat tomorrow since I don't feel that hungry.”

Lawrend replied to her. Even though he used up all of his mana, he wasn't hungry that much.

”Don't push yourself too far, Ren.”

Aleshia reminded him.

Lawrend paused before he opened his mouth.

”I won't.”

Lawrend replied to her with a smile. He then focused and placed his palms on the floor.

”...Shock Arc.”

After chanting again, Lawrend released another magic spell.

He moved to the mattress and laid on it. It was so tiring being drained of mana.

”Ren…”

Aleshia looked at him worriedly. She doesn't know what to do to help him.

Suddenly, an idea popped inside her head.
