Chapter 393: Naos Moans (1/2)

A few hours later, Lawrend stopped teaching Nao. She was average at best when it comes to magic, and he was starting to lose hope in her. He even thought of learning potion brewing himself.

”I'm sorry, Master,” Nao said.

She was sitting on the floor, dejected, while Lawrend was standing and holding his chin in thought.

”Come here.” Lawrend beckoned her.

Nao stood up without thinking much about it and stood before him.

”Turn around.”

Nao was confused, but she still followed his words.

Lawrend went behind her and grabbed her wrists from behind.

”Master!?” Nao exclaimed.

Lawrend was dangerously close to her. Her heart couldn't help but start beating fast in nervousness.

”Close your eyes,” Lawrend whispered into her ear.

Nao closed her eyes hard. Her imagination started to run wild.

Suddenly, a warm energy flowed into her wrists. It was a bright red color and powerful.

”W-What is that?” Nao asked nervously.

”That is my Fire Mana,” Lawrend replied.

He inspected her body using his mana. It was hard as he couldn't directly sense what was his Fire Mana was touching. He could only sense it indirectly.

Nao started relaxing. Her imaginations were not becoming true, and that placed her at ease.

It took Lawrend almost half an hour to thoroughly inspect her body.

When his warm mana touched her sensitive spots, Nao became aroused. It was as if he was touching directly inside her body. It was the first time Nao felt that way.

”Your mana pathways suck,” Lawrend said.

”Huh?”

Nao looked back at him in confusion.

”Your mana is delivered throughout your body in a sporadic way. They were like tangled ropes,” Lawrend explained.

Akin to a river, her own mana pathways were hindering the flow of her mana. That's the reason why she was not to his expectations.

'So mana pathways decide the talent of a mage?' Lawrend thought to himself.

This technique was something he randomly thought of. It wasn't invasive unless he let go of his mana. If he did so, his mana would wreak havoc inside her body.

”What does that mean?” Nao asked.

”Basically, I will operate on you to change something. There's an amount of risk. Do you want to do it?” Lawrend calmly asked.

”What would it change?” Nao asked timidly.

Hearing that there were risks, she became scared. Her arousal quickly evaporated into thin air.

”Your talent is average at best. You will not achieve much by being a mage.”

”I…”

Nao was enlightened. She finally understood why her Grandfather never told her parents that she had talent in magic.

She was delighted that she was able to practice magic, but now that she knew that she was average, it was better that she didn't know about it.

Ignorance is bliss.

Her hopes of becoming strong and showing her parents in the afterlife that they could be proud of her quickly shattered. She was disappointed and sad.
