Chapter 101: Nirvana Flames (1/2)

”Hm? Are you interested in them?”

Lawrend raised an eyebrow after hearing Aezel's words.

”N-No! It's just that I didn't know that there are so many talents in the Human Race.”

Aezel shook her head and explained to him. She feared that Lawrend would misunderstand things.

”Okay. Don't think about it, Aezel.”

Lawrend nodded his head and said to her in a warning.

”Lawrend…”

Aezel immediately felt fluttery inside her. Lawrend acting jealous and possessive made her heart skip a beat. She was the type that liked that sort of thing.

Lawrend and Aezel watched more of the mock battles. After an hour of waiting, it was finally Lawrend's turn.

”33 and 34! Stand in the vacant area.”

Instructor Kail called for them. Lawrend heeded his words and walked into the battle area. To his surprise, he found the Young Master from earlier walking to stand in front of him.

”Red hair?”

Vernon eyed Lawrend with squinted eyes. He noticed Lawrend's eye-catching red hair that was similar to his own.

”Heh.”

Lawrend chuckled lightly. He realized that he was given a chance to fight against this guy that cut his queue earlier.

”Ready? Fight!”

Instructor Kail shouted towards them.

Instead of a fight breaking out in an instant, Lawrend and Vernon stared at each other warily.

”Don't you know that only the Rubrignis family dares to have red hair in this city? And those who aren't a Rubrignis dyed their hair!”

After ending his speech, Vernon pointed his finger towards Lawrend gallantly. Mana accumulated in his raised staff before shooting a bright red ball of fire. It was also different from what Number 1 used before as it was redder and hotter.

”Arrogant.”

Lawrend said out loud in annoyance. He opened his palm towards the approaching fireball and shot out a shock arc spell.

BOOM-BUZZZTT

The fireball scattered in a big ball of plasma as the fire and the lightning reacted together.

”A lightning mage? I thought you are better than that!”

Vernon suddenly lifted his staff towards Lawrend. A huge amount of mana was dragged from the environment, and it formed a huge fiery wave that towered over 2 meters tall.

”Fire… is plasma?”

Seeing that flame wave coming for him, Lawrend suddenly remembered something from his past life. It was that fire is highly conductive. Realizing this, Lawrend opened his palm towards it.

”M-Master!”

Aezel shouted in alarm. Lawrend was not trying to defend himself. Instead, he was trying to do a mutual annihilation!

Instructor Kail shook his head seeing Lawrend's actions. He was sure that Lawrend was gonna fail this Entrance Test.

As for the other mages, they sighed. They knew that only a few could win against the Rubrignises. They are one of the top 3 families in the capital city, after all.

Lawrend was not the least bit worried about the opinions of the people around him. What he knew was that his previous life's knowledge can be interposed into his magic!

”+Shock Arc+!”

Lawrend shouted for a dramatic effect.

BOOM!

A lightning bolt escaped his palm. It traveled straight through the huge flame wave coming for him and hit Vernon's body.

”Arghh!”

Vernon didn't have the reflex to defend against Lawrend's attack. Instead, he was thrown off outside of the battle area. His flame wave also dissipated as Vernon's control was interrupted.
