Earlier.
"Let's go Ella and Fefe."
Aleshia pulled Ella and Feli with her outside of the room. She could already guess that Aezel would be loud.
"Hehehe. It's my turn tomorrow."
Elena giggled as she stared at the closed door of the bathroom.
…
2 hours later, Lawrend and Aezel exited the bathroom. They both wore new sets of clothes.
"Sister Aezel, you sure enjoyed yourself."
Elena said to Aezel with a smile.
"Fufufu. Master is just too good, that's all."
Aezel covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
"Where are Aleshia and the little girls?"
Aezel couldn't help but ask as she looked around the room.
"Aleshia probably took them outside. After all, your moans were too loud."
Lawrend said to her as he rubbed his hair with a towel to dry it.
"My apologies, Master. I should have held back my moans."
Aezel bowed to Lawrend slightly.
"Don't worry. It's all good, right, Elena?"
Lawrend turned his head to Elena and asked.
"Yes, Master. I'm quite excited to do it with you tomorrow."
Elena nodded her head strongly. She was curious what would happen during their alone time together.
"Me too. I didn't get to savor you that much yesterday."
Lawrend said to her with a smirk on his face.
"Mm."
Elena nodded her head happily. She already felt hot just hearing Lawrend's words.
"Anyways, call Aleshia and the rest. Let's go eat before we sleep."
Lawrend said to her.
"As per your order, Master!"
Elena replied happily.
And so, Aleshia, Feli, and Ella returned to the room while Nimela joined them with food brought by her waiters before they all fell asleep.
...
The next day Lawrend entered the classroom. He had already separated from the others.
"Lawrend!"
Humility immediately called for him. She had an excited look on her face.
"Good morning, Humility."
Lawrend greeted her with a smile.
"Lawrend!"
Kenova called out to Lawrend from behind. He was outside the door. He had a friendly smile on his face while he carried a wrapped box in his hands.
"Oh, Kenova. Good morning, what are you doing here?"
Lawrend asked him with a smile.
"Here! Take this."
Kenova passed the wrapped box to Lawrend.
By this time, Humility had already arrived behind Lawrend. She looked at Kenova curiously.
Lawrend took the wrapped box. He weighed it in his hands. It was quite light but there was something dense and heavy in the center.
"Can I open it now?"
Lawrend asked him.
"Yes, you can. I'll explain to you how it works."
Kenova replied to Lawrend with a nod of his head.
"Alright."
Lawrend started unwrapping the cloth. The cloth felt silky and expensive. The thing wrapped inside must be really valuable.
It was a wooden box. Lawrend lifted its lid, and there was a small thick disc laid on top of a cushion inside.
"What's this?"
Lawrend picked it up and lifted it in front of his eyes. It was very dense and heavy. It was like a big coin.
"That's a Thunderbolt Disc. It's a magic artifact that imbues your lightning with the power of fire."
Kenova explained to Lawrend.
"Power of fire?"
Lawrend asked him in surprise.
"Yes. You know that when lightning hits a tree, it creates a fire ember before it starts a fire, right? With this, your lightning will set anything on fire immediately."
Kenova further explained to Lawrend.
"Hmm… I see. Why are you giving this to me?"
Lawrend asked Kenova as he stared into his eyes.
"I want to show you my loyalty."
Kenova replied to Lawrend and kept his eyes staring at Lawrend's eyes.
"..."
Lawrend continued staring into Kenova's eyes silently.
"..."
Kenova did the same.
Only after a while did they stop.
"I'll believe you, for now."
Lawrend suddenly said to him solemnly.
"Thank you."
Kenova bowed to him respectfully.
"No problem. Let's have a study session again later."
Lawrend replied to him with a smile.
"Yes. I'll go now."
Kenova nodded his head and bid him farewell.
"Lawrend, do you like receiving gifts?"
Humility asked him curiously. Lawrend entered back into the classroom, and she followed behind him.
"Huh, what do you mean?"
Lawrend asked her in confusion.
"Nothing. I'm just curious."
Humility shook her head and smiled.
"I do. I think it's a good way to show your intentions to me."
Lawrend said to her as he sat on his seat while Humility sat on hers.
"Hmmm… Okay."
Humility held her chin in thought.
"What gift would you like to receive then?"
Humility asked him with a smile on her face.
"Wait, you aren't thinking of giving me one, right?"
Lawrend looked at her in surprise.
"Hehehe. What do you mean?"
Humility giggled and grinned at Lawrend.
"I mean, it's very obvious already."
Lawrend said to her with a deadpan face.
"Then, tell me what do you want me to gift you."
Humility used her arms as a pillow on her table and rested her head on it while she looked up at Lawrend.
"... I'm not sure. ...What about a staff?"
Lawrend thought about it before he could answer her.
"Oh! That's a good one."
Humility straightened her body in astonishment.
"Just a simple one, okay?"
Lawrend said to her a little bit sternly.
"Yes, yes."
Humility nodded her head repeatedly.
"Good."
Lawrend smiled at her.
"Good morning, everyone."
June walked inside the classroom with a happy smile on his face.
Everyone in the class hurriedly sat back into their seats properly.
"Before I start the class, I have something to say to Lawrend."
June said to the whole class.
"Mr. White?"
Lawrend stood up and asked in confusion.
"The Purple Thunder Grand Mage has allowed you to move up to the Second Year."
June said to him with a smile.
"Huh?"
Lawrend was bewildered. He had only spent 2 days in class, yet he was already moving up.
Humility frowned in displeasure hearing the news.
As for everyone else in the class, they were all stupefied. Lawrend would be similar to the Lightning Empress who moved up very fast.
"Mr. White, is it because of the solution I proposed yesterday?"
Lawrend said to him in a guess.
"That's right."
June nodded his head.
"Then, can I stay here until I feel like moving up?"
Lawrend asked June.
