”Unfortunately, we dueled just now, and he died,” Lawrend replied.

”!?”

The four High Mages stared at Lawrend with wide eyes. They couldn't believe what they just heard.

”Sir… Did you say that you killed the Guild Master Crescendo?” a High Mage asked.

”I did.”

Lawrend nodded his head and reaffirmed their doubts.

”Sir, is it an accident?” one of the High Mages asked.

”Erm… There's no more trace of him left. I thought he was as strong as he claimed,” Lawrend replied awkwardly.

He realized that they want to see the Guild Master's corpse. The problem was that Aezel cleaned up all of the mess.

”...”

The High Mages looked at each other, dumbfounded. Lawrend's words mean that Crescendo boasted of his great strength before he died to Lawrend's spell.

”It will be hard if this city doesn't have a Guild Master, right? I will take it upon myself to take care of it,” Lawrend replied.

”Sir, that is not how it works. We will confirm it with the Mage Guild Headquarters of the capital before you can become the Guild Master of this guild,” a High Mage replied.

”Fine. I can wait,” Lawrend replied.

”We will contact you after the investigation was done,” the High Mage said before they left.

They would contact the Mage Guild at the capital city. The Mage Guild of the Capital City would then send an Arch Mage to investigate what happened. They could also confirm if Crescendo was still alive with a magic artifact in their hands.

Shortly after, Lawrend, Aezel, and Humility returned to the inn.

”Master, are you sure about this?” Humility asked.

It will be hard for him to leave the city if he became the Guild Master. It would be his duty to guard the city in case of an attack.

”I will just leave Elena as the acting Guild Master,” Lawrend replied.

”Ehhhhh?? You're leaving me, Master??” Elena asked.

She was very attached to Lawrend. Ever since he first picked her up, she stayed on his side. She would be very sad if they part again.

”Besides me and Aezel, you are the strongest one here.”

”B-But what about me! I will be sad without you, Master!” Elena implored.

”...Alright. I will stay here for as long as I can. Is that okay for you?” Lawrend asked.

”Hmmmm… Promise me that you will love me more?” Elena asked with puppy eyes. She walked up to him and grabbed his two hands.

”Alright.”

Lawrend nodded his head. Was that even a question?

”Yay! Thank you, Master!”

Elena kissed him on the cheeks before running away and sitting back on the bed.

Currently, he, Aezel, Elena, and Humility were staying in the same room together. The others stayed in their respective rooms.
