Chapter 297: Striving To Shock Everyone (1/2)

None of them were hurt. The shockwave simply passed through them as it covered the whole Lightning Department building in a dome of purple lightning.

”Y-You started the Lightning Department's defensive magic array all by yourself!?” Galak exclaimed in disbelief.

”What?”

Lawrend's eyes went round as he stared back at him. He thought that it was just a simple magic array to test his magic.

”A-Amazing…”

The other instructors in the room stared at Lawrend in amazement. They were all lightning mages in here.

Starting this magic array was harder than you would think. It's easy to light it up halfway but it becomes progressively harder. It would take almost all of them just to start it all the way.

”A prodigy! Elena, there's another prodigy besides you!” Galak shouted.

”Yes, Instructor,” Elena replied with a bow.

'As expected of Master,' Elena thought to herself proudly.

”That's natural for a human like him,” Ramiela commented.

He was the only human who was able to impress her. She even thought that he was a god which was embarrassing.

”Fufufufu.” Aezel laughed proudly.

She doesn't need to say anything. It was as she had expected.

”They will finally know Master's worth. At last,” Aleshia said.

”That's correct, Sister Aleshia.” Elena nodded her head in agreement.

”Lawrend, where did you get that Beginner Mage spell!?” an instructor asked him crazily.

”Why?” Lawrend raised an eyebrow.

”I know who made that,” the instructor replied.

”Someone gifted it to me,” Lawrend replied truthfully.

Since he's already strong enough, he didn't worry that they would find fault with him for getting it from a black market. Although, he technically got it as a gift after he taught the seller some magic knowledge.

”Seriously? I've never been able to find it. Who gave it to you?” the instructor asked him in surprise.

”How do I say it… Someone with a black hood gave it to me when I was traveling,” Lawrend replied awkwardly.

His description wasn't gonna be of help. It made him feel embarrassed since it seemed that the creator of the Beginner Mage spell was important to the instructor.

”What..? I've been trying to find this magic spell of my older brother. I never thought someone would just give it away,” the instructor said in a daze.

”You're his brother?” Lawrend widened his eyes in surprise.

”Yes. My name is Xervius. My older brother was the late Arch Mage Klustervius. He was a talented mage of the kingdom that died in a war against a neighboring kingdom,” Xervious replied.

Xervius was a middle-aged man that had sprinkles of white on his hair. Like all the instructors in this room, he was an Arch Mage.

”Wow. I'm thankful for your older brother's creation of this magic spell. It helped me improve as a lightning mage,” Lawrend said as he bowed to him respectfully.

The Beginner Lightning Mage spell was very simple, but it was also flexible. Lawrend had found many uses for it in the past. He even managed to create a True Mage version. The creator definitely deserves his respect.

”I'm sure he'd be glad… You're so talented. I hope to see more from you in the future,” Xervius replied to him solemnly.
