Chapter 268: Teacher Elena (1/2)

”Can you help me understand this?”

A silver book appeared in Lawrend's hand, and he showed it to her. It was the book titled, ”Theory of Magic Prediction Research”. He got it from the Purple Thunder Grand Mage.

”Oh, what's this, Master?” Elena asked as she stared at the silver book with interest.

”This book contains everything that the Lightning Department in the academy will teach to its students. There are some parts that I can't really understand,” Lawrend explained to her.

”Wow. Master even has this? As expected of Master,” Elena said with admiration on her face.

She took the book from his hand and opened it. She browsed through the pages calmly and silently.

Lawrend waited beside her in anticipation. He expected her to easily understand it.

”Mhm, mhm… I understand everything in this book, Master. There are some parts I thought I understood well, but I actually got it wrong. Ask me anything,” Elena said as she quickly flipped through every page.

Lawrend's eyes widened in excitement. As expected of a lightning slime.

”Explain to me the Theory of Magic,” Lawrend said.

”The theory of magic is just a theory, Master. It serves as a beginner guide, but it shouldn't be followed to the very end. That's why they teach you to make theories on your own in the First-Year.

”I even heard that you made your own, and it's better than what the academy teaches. You'll probably be given the invitation to become an instructor once you graduate, Master,” Elena replied.

”Ah! So that's why. Then, I just have to make theories that get closer to perfection?” Lawrend asked.

”Correct. You can make as many theories as you want, Master. I only have one, and if Master wants, I can teach it to you,” Elena replied.

”Now I'm interested. What's your theory?”

This would be the first time Lawrend would ask her about her magic like this. This was also the reason he wanted to study in the same year as her. If they are studying together, he could observe a new side of her.

”Willpower evokes magic. If you can think about the result, then you can create the magic,” Elena replied.

”Wait! Was that why I could create magic spells on my own? Because I already know the results?” Lawrend asked her in shock.

Back when he was taking the entrance exam in the academy, he was able to create his own True Mage Spell. Then, when he was at the Yttervia Forest, he was able to cast a spell that he didn't even know. And he was also able to cast a Lightning Ball just by thinking of it.

”Master created his own magic spells? Wow!” Elena said as she looked at him with eyes filled with admiration.

”I'm not as good as you, though. You immediately copied my Shock Arc spell when you first saw it,” Lawrend replied.

”No… I'm inferior to Master. I can't even create my own spells. I can only copy them,” Elena replied.
