Chapter 311 – Walking In Like A Celebrity
"Hahahaha. I see," Lawrend replied as a smug smile formed on his face.
"Human, I hate you. You're too arrogant!" Ramiela shouted.
She opened her eyes and stared at him hatefully. She doesn't like how arrogant he's acting with her. She's a prideful angel, after all.
"Master, here. Let me feed you," Humility said as she stood up and cut a piece of a fried egg before lifting it towards his mouth.
Lawrend happily took it in his mouth and ate it.
Seeing Lawrend eat, Ramiela pouted in displeasure and turned her head away.
"Angel, you can say it if you want to eat or not," Lawrend said to her.
"Human, you don't have to talk to me," Ramiela replied coldly.
"Well, if you say so." Lawrend shrugged his shoulders.
They quickly finished eating.
"Human, let me do my soul contracts with your other maids," Ramiela said once she saw that they were done.
"Sure."
To make things more efficient, Ramiela made the others sign a soul contract with her that restricted them from revealing what happened last night to others. That included that they don't tell anyone that she's an angel unless they had her express permission.
After that was quickly done, they headed for the academy. As usual, Amene and Grape were left at the mansion. Since Ramiela had no point in coming anymore, she also stayed at the mansion.
Today was the day that he would become a Fourth-Year together with Elena. For the first time, the two of them would be attending the same class. Lawrend can't wait to see how she acts in class.
"Lawrend, wouldn't it be better if you had become an instructor?" Elena asked as they walked through the academy's campus.
Aezel was following behind them silently like an obedient maid with Humility.
"I wanted to spend time with you in class," Lawrend replied.
"Oh! That's sweet of you, Lawrend," Elena replied with a smile on her face.
The students around them couldn't help but stare at the two of them. Elena was famous and known as the Lightning Empress.
She easily became a Third-Year in no time and made the First and Second-Year students jealous. The Third-Years, in particular, wasn't happy, but she proved to them that she deserved it with her strength and capabilities.
She wielded powerful lightning magic that made everyone submit to her whether they liked it or not. At first, she looked like a child, so it was pretty easy to look down on her, but when she became a full-fledged adult, everyone became aware that she was more than a human.
That's when everyone realized to stay away from her and avoid irking her.
"Humility, do you want me to teach you lightning magic later? We didn't manage to learn properly last time," Lawrend said as he turned his head to the back.
"Yes, Lawrend," Humility promptly replied.
Lawrend became busy when the two of them planned to learn together, and he almost forgot about it until now. She was still a First-Year, and he had to find a way to make her rise through the years and catch up to them.
Soon, the four of them arrived at the lightning department.
There was a huge crowd waiting for them.
"OHHHH!! It's the Lightning Empress and the Lightning Emperor!" the crowd shouted in excitement.
"Lightning Emperor..?" Lawrend smiled wryly.
He didn't expect them to give him such a badass, yet embarrassing nickname.
"You don't like it, Master? We match, right?" Elena said with a frown on her face.
"It's not that I don't like it. I'm just not used to it yet," Lawrend replied.
"Lawrend and Elena!" Xervius shouted from the crowd.
"Instructor Xervius," Lawrend called out.
"Congratulations on becoming an official legend of the academy," Xervius said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you."
Lawrend smiled at him gratefully.
"The academy will be narrating your legendary feat for generations to come. I'm sure that no one will ever be able to overcome what you did yesterday," Xervius said.
"Hahahaha… I'm not that great. I quickly learned thanks to this book that the Purple Thunder Grand Mage gave me," Lawrend replied humbly and a silver book appeared in his hand.
"Oh! The foundational book of the Lightning Department. Certainly, it would have helped you, but it still requires talent and determination to be able to pull what you just did," Xervius replied.
"Anyways, let's go," Lawrend said.
The crowd around them was listening to their conversation silently with faces full of curiosity. All of them had looks of awe whenever they looked at him.
"Follow me," Xervius replied.
He led Lawrend's group with him. As for the crowd, they could only watch. They didn't think that it would be a good idea to follow them as Xervius was still an instructor they had to respect.
"Lawrend, let's part here," Humility said.
She can't follow them anymore as her class was close.
"We'll study in the same class again, Humility," Lawrend replied.
"Mm." Humility nodded her head solemnly.
After they were done bidding farewell to each other, Xervius led them up the Lightning Department's building. It was quite an arduous walk before they finally reached the fourth floor. This was where the Fourth-Years of the lightning department were taking lessons.
Xervius opened a door and entered inside with Lawrend and Elena in tow. As for Aezel, she waited outside as usual.
"Hm? The star of the Lightning Department is here!" Galak shouted from the podium.
Sitting inside were 20 students wearing purple-colored cloaks that represented their element.
Lawrend smiled calmly once he entered. The eyes of the student fell on him, and they judged him with their sharp eyes. It would be hard to endure their gazes if one isn't confident in themselves.
"Hmph."
A student with a purple streak on his black hair snorted. He was Olivus, and he's considered the most promising student of the Lightning Department.
He sees Lawrend as his competition.. Once he heard about him, he couldn't wait to meet him and have a magic duel against him.
