Chapter 132 - Lawrend's Solution
Chapter 132 – Lawrend’s Solution
"Lawrend's solution is to create lightning arcs inside our body. It would not only eliminate the wastage I was talking about earlier, but it would even be better."
June said to them.
"For example, if you create a lightning arc from your elbow to your hand, the lightning that reaches your hand will be purer while some lightning will be left behind on its way, and those would be the impure lightning."
June continued his explanation.
"That…"
Kenova was amazed. Why didn't he come up with that in his calculations?
"Amazing, right? I'm afraid that you lost."
June shook his head in dismay. Kenova is a great student, he would surely achieve many great things in the future, but Lawrend just had to come and overshadow him.
"I don't have a problem with that."
Kenova shook his head and bowed towards June. He had already accepted his defeat. The only thing he could feel towards Lawrend right now was respect and awe.
"Mm. Your conduct is good. I'll only demote you to Class B."
June nodded his head in satisfaction after he saw Kenova bow humbly.
"Is that fine with you, Lawrend?"
June turned his head to Lawrend and asked.
"Yes."
Lawrend nodded his head. It really surprised him that Kenova would react like that. It seems like he was not that irredeemable.
"Thank you, Lawrend."
Kenova stood up from his seat and shook Lawrend's hand.
"Yes. You're welcome."
Lawrend smiled at him. It was a good feeling making friends instead of making enemies. Besides, with this, he can ask him and make sure if it really was Vernon Rubrignis that was targeting him.
"Can we hold a study session together later?"
Kenova asked Lawrend with a respectful smile. The arrogance he was showing to Lawrend earlier was now gone.
"Unbelievable! Lawrend won so greatly that the arrogant Kenova turned into such a gentleman."
A female student exclaimed as she looked at the two of them.
"Sure."
Lawrend nodded his head at Kenova. Kenova then returned to his seat and sat back down.
"But Mr. White, wouldn't creating arcs of lightning inside our body hurt?"
A male student sitting in front raised his hand and asked.
"That's correct, but everything has a price. If you want to choose the efficient way, then you would have to suffer."
June explained to the student.
"I understand."
The student nodded his head solemnly.
"Alright, any more questions?"
June looked around the class.
"None? Okay. Hold on, let me write a letter for you, Kenova."
After seeing that no one responded, June pulled out a piece of paper under his table and started writing on it.
A few minutes later, he signed it before he folded it.
"Here. Take this to Class B."
June passed the paper to Kenova.
"Thank you, Mr. White."
Kenova bowed to June one more time before he left the classroom.
The whole classroom was quiet for a while. They looked at the door of the classroom where Kenova just left.
"Our top student, Kenova… He was demoted just like that."
The female student from earlier murmured with shining eyes.
"I know, right?"
A male student beside her nodded his head in agreement.
"Anyways, the class is dismissed. I have to go report this to the Purple Thunder Grand Mage."
June said to the class as he stood up.
"Thank you, Mr. White."
Lawrend stood up and said to June. He was grateful to June for being impartial.
"Don't worry. I won't forget to recommend you to a Special Mission."
June replied with a smile before he left the classroom.
"Lawrend! You're so smart!"
Humility held Lawrend's hands in excitement. She didn't even notice her own actions.
"Haha, it's nothing."
Lawrend laughed to her humbly.
The reason he came up with the solution was that he understood from the theory that impure mana can't keep up with pure mana.
That means that if he creates a lightning arc inside his body that would go from one point to another, he would reabsorb purer mana at the ending point. After all, most of the impure mana wouldn't be able to go that far.
"I really admire you, Lawrend. Can I attend the study session too?"
Humility said to him in awe. She made puppy eyes as she pleaded to him.
"Why not?"
Lawrend replied to her with a smile.
"Really!? Thank you!"
Humility was ecstatic.
"Anyways, are we eating at the same place?"
Lawrend asked her.
"Sure!"
Humility nodded her head vehemently.
The two then left the classroom together.
"Lawrend—…"
Levin was just about to call Lawrend when he already left.
"Forget it, maybe he has a chance."
Johan said to Levin with a shake of his head.
…
"Hello?"
Humility greeted Aezel who was standing behind Lawrend.
"Who are you?"
Aezel asked Humility in a solemn voice.
"I'm Humility, Lawrend's friend. Nice to meet you. Hehehe."
Humility replied to Aezel with a proud smile on her face. It was like she was proud that she was Lawrend's friend.
"I'm Master's maid."
Aezel answered curtly. She doesn't want to reveal her name as the Grand Mage that caught her earlier already knows.
"Oh."
Humility examined Aezel up and down.
"Humility, let's go."
Lawrend couldn't help but remind her.
"Okay, Lawrend."
Humility listened to Lawrend obediently.
The two then ate their meal before they strolled around the academy. Of course, Aezel was following them like a shadow.
"So, where and when is the study gonna occur?"
Humility asked Lawrend as they walked side-by-side.
"Hmm… At the Phoenix-Dragon Inn, I think?"
Lawrend said to her.
"Hm? You're staying there?"
Humility asked Lawrend in surprise.
"Why? Is it weird?"
Lawrend asked her in confusion.
"I'm also staying there! How about we hold the study session in my room?"
Humility said to Lawrend in excitement.
"In your room? Aren't you forgetting that Kenova would also attend?"
Lawrend asked her in bewilderment.
He could understand that she's comfortable with him going into her room, but what about Kenova? They didn't even seem to be friends.
