Chapter 378: Glowing Fire Hand (1/2)

”Do you want to try it? We can try it on the testing grounds.”

The receptionist looked at Lawrend hopefully. She was but a mere True Mage. She always found it inspiring to watch stronger mages use their spells.

”Can I take this back with me? If it's not as good as I thought, I will come back and choose another one,” Lawrend said.

”That's okay. You are a High Mage. It is one of your benefits,” the receptionist replied with a smile on her face.

”Alright. Thank you.”

Lawrend nodded at her and turned around to leave.

”Master, were there really that many spells?” Aezel asked with disbelief evident in her face.

”Yes, but they're just Beginner Mage Spells. Naturally, there are many that could make one,” Lawrend replied.

”Maybe we should do the same in the demon world,” Aezel muttered in thought.

…

”Thank you for bringing me with you, Master. Even though it was short, I enjoyed it,” Grape said and smiled at him once they were back at the inn.

”No problem.”

Lawrend smiled at her.

It was hard for him to accept her before. Thus, he would shower her with love since he had already decided so.

”What is this, Master?” Nao asked when she saw the spellbook in Lawrend's hand.

”This is for you. Learn it and become a mage,” Lawrend replied.

”But I don't know if I have an affinity for the fire element,” Nao replied.

She didn't have any confidence in herself that she was capable of practicing magic. Her grandfather would have told her about it if he had checked that she had an affinity for any element.

”Just try it. It doesn't matter if you can't use it,” Lawrend replied.

He didn't really mind if she couldn't practice it. He was more interested in being able to try if he could actually use it himself.

”Okay.” Nao nodded her head unconfidently.

She opened the spellbook and started reading the chant. After that, she read the relevant information in the book. It contained the details as to how and why the spell works.

Nao sat on her bed cross-legged with her eyes closed.

”O' Ifrit, give my hand warmth in this winter, Glowing Fire Hand!”

Nao extended her right hand out, and…

*Fwoom*

Nao's right hand started glowing red, and a small flame rose from it.

”I-I did it??” Nao exclaimed in shock.

She looked at the flame in her hand in disbelief.

”Congratulations, Nao!” Lawrend shouted and smiled at her.

He could relate to the current expression on her face. Knowing that you could practice magic is amazing. After all, almost everything in this world revolves around magic.

”Congratulations, Nao!” Amene, Grape, and Aezel said together.

”Thank you, Master, for giving me this opportunity!” Nao said to him happily.

”I will teach you more about it later. For now, you should learn how to use the spell more efficiently. I'm guessing that your spell won't last for a few more minutes,” Lawrend replied to her.
