Chapter 138: Its Stolen? (1/2)
”Hm? Moving up means you'll be able to graduate faster. What's the reason behind your choice?”
June raised an eyebrow at Lawrend's response.
”It may sound surprising, but I actually wasn't tutored in magic. I self-learned most of it while I asked others to teach me when I'm stuck.”
Lawrend explained to him.
”So I want to learn the theories in magic that First-Year would offer me.”
Lawrend continued.
”Well said!”
June smiled in satisfaction at Lawrend's words. His determination to learn impresses him.
”Alright, I'll relay your words to the Purple Thunder Grand Mage.”
June nodded his head at Lawrend.
”Thank you, Mr. White.”
Lawrend bowed to him slightly.
”Also, do you still want to partake in the special mission? If so, you can use it to move up to Third Year.”
June added.
”Really? Then, I'll hear it.”
Lawrend was surprised to hear June say that he can use it to move up to the third year. He was basically speedrunning the year levels at this point.
Meanwhile, everyone in the class was shocked. Their awe for Lawrend skyrocketed. He was almost like a god figure in their eyes.
”This special mission is hard.”
June said to Lawrend solemnly.
”You have to acquire a bottle of sap from a Sacred Spirit Tree located in the Yttervia Forest. Its use is for creating Arch Mage-level magic circles.”
June explained to him.
”Yttervia Forest?!”
Lawrend exclaimed in disbelief. That was the forest Feli told him where she lived before.
”Oh, do you already know the place?”
June was surprised to hear Lawrend's response.
”N-No. The name just sounded familiar.”
Lawrend shook his head.
”Okay. Don't worry, you will be briefed by the team captain about the place.”
June said to Lawrend reassuringly.
”Team captain?”
Lawrend repeated the phrase in surprise.
”Yes. Special missions are a team effort. You only need one of your teammates to acquire the sap to succeed. But! If even one of you fails to return here in the academy with the sap, you will all fail the special mission.”
June nodded his head and explained to Lawrend in detail.
”I see…”
Lawrend nodded his head in understanding. So he has to go there with a team. It would be challenging.
”Also, a High Mage would be tailing all of you. If the High Mage sees that even one of you used external help, except those you hire there, then you will all fail.”
June explained more to Lawrend.
”...”
Lawrend was shocked. This special mission is very strict.
”Alright, that's all I can tell you. The rest, you can ask your team captain tomorrow.”
June said to Lawrend.
”Thank you, Mr. White.”
Lawrend thanked him before he sat back down on his seat.
And so, the class continued. Lawrend listened carefully, and Humility started writing notes. She was even asking Lawrend if her understanding of the lesson was correct.
Humility felt ashamed that she couldn't keep up with their discussions yesterday, so she was trying her best to learn the lessons now.
