Chapter 311: Walking In Like A Celebrity (2/2)

”Lightning Emperor..?” Lawrend smiled wryly.

He didn't expect them to give him such a badass, yet embarrassing nickname.

”You don't like it, Master? We match, right?” Elena said with a frown on her face.

”It's not that I don't like it. I'm just not used to it yet,” Lawrend replied.

”Lawrend and Elena!” Xervius shouted from the crowd.

”Instructor Xervius,” Lawrend called out.

”Congratulations on becoming an official legend of the academy,” Xervius said with a smile on his face.

”Thank you.”

Lawrend smiled at him gratefully.

”The academy will be narrating your legendary feat for generations to come. I'm sure that no one will ever be able to overcome what you did yesterday,” Xervius said.

”Hahahaha… I'm not that great. I quickly learned thanks to this book that the Purple Thunder Grand Mage gave me,” Lawrend replied humbly and a silver book appeared in his hand.

”Oh! The foundational book of the Lightning Department. Certainly, it would have helped you, but it still requires talent and determination to be able to pull what you just did,” Xervius replied.

”Anyways, let's go,” Lawrend said.

The crowd around them was listening to their conversation silently with faces full of curiosity. All of them had looks of awe whenever they looked at him.

”Follow me,” Xervius replied.

He led Lawrend's group with him. As for the crowd, they could only watch. They didn't think that it would be a good idea to follow them as Xervius was still an instructor they had to respect.

”Lawrend, let's part here,” Humility said.

She can't follow them anymore as her class was close.

”We'll study in the same class again, Humility,” Lawrend replied.

”Mm.” Humility nodded her head solemnly.

After they were done bidding farewell to each other, Xervius led them up the Lightning Department's building. It was quite an arduous walk before they finally reached the fourth floor. This was where the Fourth-Years of the lightning department were taking lessons.

Xervius opened a door and entered inside with Lawrend and Elena in tow. As for Aezel, she waited outside as usual.

”Hm? The star of the Lightning Department is here!” Galak shouted from the podium.

Sitting inside were 20 students wearing purple-colored cloaks that represented their element.

Lawrend smiled calmly once he entered. The eyes of the student fell on him, and they judged him with their sharp eyes. It would be hard to endure their gazes if one isn't confident in themselves.

”Hmph.”

A student with a purple streak on his black hair snorted. He was Olivus, and he's considered the most promising student of the Lightning Department.

He sees Lawrend as his competition. Once he heard about him, he couldn't wait to meet him and have a magic duel against him.
