Chapter 123: A Date Already? (1/2)

”Okay.”

Lawrend nodded his head and smiled at her. He stood up from his seat and sat beside her.

”Hm? Why did you move?”

Levin and Johan noticed Lawrend switching seats. They looked at him in wonder.

”You can both chat with each other. I'll sit here.”

Lawrend replied to him.

”Alright.”

Levin nodded his head, and Johan stood up and sat at Lawrend's previous seat.

”So… Where did you come from?”

She asked him with an interested smile on her face.

”Lanika City. How about you?”

Lawrend replied to her and asked.

”I grew up in this city. I've been yearning to explore the world outside these cumbersome walls.”

She replied to him. She looked outside the windows in melancholy.

”Then we're the same.”

Lawrend smiled at her. He could still remember a few months ago when he had been stuck in Lanika City all his life.

”Oh, really? How was it outside?”

She rested her elbows on the table and asked him with interest. She rested her head on her hand and looked up at him.

”It's chaotic. I almost died three times.”

Lawrend replied to her with an awkward smile on his face.

”I'm jelly. Can you take me outside sometime?”

She asked him with a sincere smile.

”Alright. You can come if I ever travel outside the city.”

Lawrend nodded his head. He didn't think much of it. She was just a nice classmate in his eyes.

”My name is Humility Undra. And I'm 18 too, hehe.”

Humility introduced herself and winked at Lawrend.

”Hahaha.”

Lawrend laughed hearing her imitate his words earlier. She didn't have to say that she was also 18.

”Why are you laughing?”

Humility pouted as she stared at Lawrend.

”Haha, nothing.”

Lawrend shook his head with a faint smile on his face.

”Ehem.”

June faked a coughed to get the class' attention.

”Everyone, calm down. I'll start the class in a bit.

Lawrend turned his head away from Humility and focused to the front. There were two blackboards on the wall in front of the class.

”For the new students that are unaware, your First-Year is dedicated to the study of Magic Theory. If you don't know the Magic Theory, your usage of magic will be inefficient. What I will be teaching you is the Magic Theory for lightning magic.

”Once a month, the test for Moving Up is conducted. If you pass, you will be a Second-Year student. That is why the term First-Year is misleading. There can be Second-Year students that only studied as a First-Year for 8 months.”

”Since that's out of the window, I'll start my discussion now…”

June explained the Magic Theory to the whole class. As Lawrend listened on, he felt enlightened. He was finally being taught magic, and it made him happy.

Throughout the lesson, he would discuss his ideas with Humility. In return, they had become friends. She was particularly amazed at his unique ideas about magic.

…

”Lawrend, do you want to eat with me at my favorite place?”

Humility invited him as they stood up. June had just announced their break time.

”Lawrend, are you coming?”

Levin also asked Lawrend. He had his shoulder around Johan's. They looked like best friends already.
