Chapter 104 – Elena Finds Lawrend?
"Can we leave?"
Aezel turned to the Dean Master and asked.
"Y-Yes… The class starts next week. Just attend then."
The Dean Master nodded his head nervously. Knowing that her strength is somewhat on par with him, he didn't dare anger her.
"Thank you."
Aezel nodded her head. She then carried Lawrend in her arms and left the academy. She found an empty carriage on the road and hired it to bring them back to the inn.
"Mastteerrrr!!!"
A bluish-purple-haired adolescent teen entered the academy. She wore a blue cloak with gold embroidery of a bird. She looked left and right, but she couldn't find her master.
"Dean Master, did you see my master?"
The adolescent teen asked him. You may have your guesses already. That's right, she's Elena. After practicing magic for a week, she has grown significantly.
"Oh, Elena. Your master? What does he look like?"
The Dean Master replied to her in confusion.
'More importantly, she has a master?'
The Dean Master thought in confusion.
"He has red hair and looks really handsome!"
Elena replied to him enthusiastically.
"Ah. He already went home."
The Dean Master immediately realized who she meant.
"Where!?"
Elena looked at the Dean Master excitedly.
"Instructor Kail, lead her to his home. Remember to treat her with care!"
The Dean Master gave orders to Instructor Kail. He made sure to remind him as Elena is not just someone he can offend.
"Y-Yes. I know my limits, Dean Master."
Instructor Kail responded respectfully.
"Don't get me started again. Just lead her there!"
The Dean Master replied to him angrily.
'I know my limits, my ass! You almost caused a catastrophe for the academy.'
The Dean Master thought to himself as he looked at Instructor Kail irritably.
And so, Elena was led by Instructor Kail.
…
"Master…"
Aezel laid Lawrend on the bed. She had already returned to the inn.
She watched Lawrend's sleeping face and smiled.
"Talent… A supreme talent! I don't regret choosing you."
Aezel murmured as she looked at Lawrend's face lovingly. She could still vividly remember Lawrend's powerful True Mage Spell. She knew that he doesn't have any True Mage Spell.
She also recognized the first part of his spell. How could she not when she taught Lawrend how to more effectively use it. In her opinion, only a supreme talent can modify a Beginner Mage Spell into a True Mage Spell.
…
"Ohhh! A big mansion. Master is living in a mansion like this?"
Elena looked at the huge courtyard before her. There was a mansion before it. It wasn't just a mansion. It was filled with history and luxury. Whoever lives here is extremely influential.
"This is his home."
Instructor Kail nodded his head at her.
"Let's enter!"
Elena said to him.
"Wait! You can't just enter this place, Ms. Elena."
Instructor Kail hurriedly stopped her.
"Why? My master is living here. He wouldn't mind, right?"
Elena looked at Instructor Kail in innocent confusion.
"I'm sure the others living with your master would."
Instructor Kail said to her.
"Okay…"
Elena nodded her head, downcast.
"Who is there?"
A guard wearing flaming red armor noticed them and asked.
"Hello! My name is Elena. My master is inside."
Elena replied to the guard.
"Your master? Who is this master you are talking about?"
The guard looked at her in confusion.
"He has red hair, and he's handsome!"
Elena replied.
"… Who?"
The guard looked at her blankly.
"Huh?"
Elena responded in confusion.
"Ms. Elena, everyone in this household has red hair, and they are also handsome just like you said."
Instructor Kail interrupted and explained to her. The guard on the other side of the metal gate nodded his head.
"Then, his name is Lawrend!"
Elena said to the guard.
"Lawrend? Alright, I'll go check."
The guard didn't recognize the name she mentioned, so he left to ask.
"Why don't they recognize, Master?"
Elena pouted.
"Uh, who is this Lawrend anyway?"
Instructor Kail looked at him in puzzlement. He felt like he made a mistake somewhere.
"Huh? Didn't you say that you recognized Master?"
Elena looked at him in confusion.
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
Elena and Instructor Kail looked at each other in confusion.
"You didn't mean, Vernon? Vernon Rubrignis?"
Instructor Kail said to her apprehensively.
"No! I don't know who is that."
Elena shook her head vehemently.
"Then, is this person a lightning mage?"
Instructor Kail asked her.
"Mm!"
Elena nodded her head seriously.
"He also has red hair?"
He continued.
"Yes!"
She nodded her head stronger.
Instructor Kail facepalmed himself.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Elena! I led you to the wrong place."
Instructor Kail bowed to her.
"Ehhh!?"
Elena exclaimed in shock. She was even so excited and hopeful.
"Let's leave!"
Elena pulled him with her.
A few minutes later, the guard returned.
"…"
He looked at the empty front with confusion. He looked at his colleague, who shrugged in return.
"Who is this Lawrend anyway? Why are his records almost erased?"
The guard murmured with a shake of his head.
…
"Where?"
Elena looked at Instructor Kail with a grumble.
"I don't know. They left on their own."
Instructor Kail shook his head at her.
"Hmph. Useless!"
Elena snorted in annoyance.
"…"
Instructor Kail's cheeks twitched in response. He may not look like it, but he was still a High Mage.
"I'll find them myself!"
Elena stomped her foot in anger and left him alone.
She then returned to the Phoenix-Dragon Inn.
"Elena, where have you been? We told you to wait in here while we bought the materials."
Aleshia turned her head to the door. She now wore a blue cloak with the same gold embroidery as Elena.
"I found Master!"
Instead of replying to her question, Elena shouted towards them.
"The Young Master!?"
Aleshia shouted in shock. Another head popped out behind her.
"The Young Master?"
It was Ella. She wore a black cloak with designs of the starry sky on them.
"Yes! I don't know where he is, but he's in the city!"
Elena said to them excitedly.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Aleshia said to them in haste. They then left the inn together to search for Lawrend.
