"You're the manager?"
Lawrend asked him with a frown.
"No! The manager ordered me to kick you out."
The man with bulging arms replied and crossed his arms together.
"Let's go, Lawrend."
Olgar urged him.
"... Fine."
Lawrend was reluctant to go. Seeing that there was already a Hill Sword here, then they have no choice but to comply.
…
Lawrend walked with Olgar on the lit streets while Aezel followed behind them.
"Mr. Olgar, thank you for your help today. Even though it didn't work out."
Lawrend thanked Olgar with gratitude.
"Hahh… How many times do I have to repeat it to you? You don't have to thank me."
Olgar sighed, hearing Lawrend thank him for the third time.
"Alright, since you say so."
Lawrend nodded his head. It doesn't matter to him if Olgar wants to or not.
"That's more like it."
Olgar smiled widely hearing Lawrend's words.
"We're here at the Mage Guild, I'll go now. See you next week, Lawrend. Meet me here in the morning, and I'll lead you to the academy."
Olgar bid his farewell to Lawrend.
"I got it."
Lawrend nodded his head.
Thus, only Aezel was left with Lawrend.
"Are you okay?"
Aezel couldn't help but ask him in worry.
"I'm fine. I still have a way to meet them."
Lawrend replied to her with a confident smile.
"Fufufu. I like your optimistic personality."
Aezel said to Lawrend with a laugh.
"Thanks."
Lawrend thanked her with a smile.
They then found an inn. It was not as luxurious as the Phoenix-Dragon Inn, but the staff was very accommodating. There was also a restaurant on the first floor so Lawrend didn't have to go to a restaurant if he needed to eat.
Lawrend opened the door to their room and entered. Aezel followed right behind him.
"Lawrend, since we're alone. Do you want me to relieve your stress?"
Aezel winked at Lawrend seductively.
"No, thank you."
Lawrend instantly shook his head.
"W-Why? Don't you want a maid to relieve your stress?"
Aezel asked Lawrend in a stutter.
"I'd rather have you teach me magic. I only have one week to prepare, after all."
Lawrend replied to her calmly.
"I see… Then I'll teach you to the best of my capability."
Aezel nodded her head in understanding and said to Lawrend.
"Thank you."
Lawrend said to her with a smile.
"No problem. Just keep my words from before in mind."
Aezel also smiled at him.
"I won't forget it."
Lawrend nodded at her. He just couldn't focus on it today so he had to put it off.
"That's good."
Aezel nodded her head in satisfaction.
She then taught Lawrend lightning magic for the next three days.
On the third day, Lawrend laid on the bed, exhausted. His mana was depleted through his magic practice.
'Oh, right. I forgot about that White Hole inside my head.'
Lawrend sat up as he remembered. He then closed his eyes and looked inside his body.
'It's still here…'
Lawrend looked at the glowing white orb inside his head.
'Let's try to do it again.'
Lawrend controlled the purple lightning mana inside his body. It slowly flowed into the white hole before being spewed out on the other side.
'This red lightning mana…'
Lawrend also noticed the red lightning mana inside his body. Even when he cast the Shock Arc spell, it never came out. He asked Aezel about it, and she said that it could be from the Ultimate Spell that she used back then.
Lawrend tried to control the red lightning mana, but it didn't budge. It just silently flowed inside his body.
'Why isn't it moving?'
Lawrend surrounded the red lightning mana with some of the purple lightning mana that was still not purified. He then moved the red lightning mana using the purple one.
Lawrend watched as the purple lightning mana transported the red lightning mana to wherever he wanted.
'Weird. How can I use this mana?'
Lawrend asked himself in confusion. What was the purpose of this mana? Could he use it just like his purple one? Such questions were running inside Lawrend's head.
'Wait. Can't I mix it with my purple lightning mana?'
A light bulb lit up inside Lawrend's mind.
Lawrend then controlled the purple lightning mana and disturbed the red one, mixing it around inside him. But just as he thought that it was mixing, the red lightning mana separated from the purple one just like water and oil.
'Hmm… How about I also purify it?'
Lawrend pondered. He did the same but this time, he pushed the red lightning mana into the white hole. It got sucked and then spewed out much brighter red lighting mana than before.
'It worked?'
Lawrend tried to control it nervously. To his surprise and joy, it moved according to his will.
'It did!'
Lawrend exclaimed happily. He then did the same with all of the other red lightning mana. Overall, the red lightning mana is 20% of his mana. The rest were purple lightning mana.
After all of his mana was purified, Lawrend noticed the great decrease of it. The amount of his mana is what it was like back when he was still a Beginner Mage. Though, Lawrend didn't feel a drop in his strength. Instead, he felt stronger.
He had less mana but it was much purer and more powerful.
'I should practice using this red lightning mana…'
Lawrend thought to himself before he opened his eyes. He then continued practicing for another 4 more days.
"Aezel, what should I call this red lightning mana?"
Lawrend asked her as small red arcs of red lightning escaped his fingers. He was currently laying on the bed.
"My lightning magic is derived from the lightning found in my world. So… you can call it Demonic Lightning."
Aezel said to him.
"So different worlds have different lightning?"
Lawrend asked her in thought.
"Yes. But there's a lot of similarity between the two of them."
Aezel nodded her head and explained to him.
"I see. Then, let's go and meet Olgar."
Lawrend said to her. He then stood up, and he left the inn together with her.
They met up with Olgar on the way before he led them to the Undrasil Mage Academy.
