Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend opened the door and entered the room. He looked around, but he couldn't find Olgar anywhere. There was only a double bed there with a desk to the right.

"Mr. Olgar?"

Lawrend called his name in puzzlement.

"Lawrend, I'm here."

Olgar walked out of the bathroom located to the left side half-naked. He was wearing a white towel to cover his lower half.

"Mr. Olgar, do you have time?"

Lawrend asked him.

"Do you want something from me?"

Olgar asked him curiously. He held another towel in his hand and wiped his black hair.

"Y-Yes. If you could teach me magic, please! I feel like reading books is not enough."

Lawrend stuttered when he asked Olgar. It was because he didn't know how Olgar would react.

"What is your element?"

Olgar asked him.

"Huh? I think it's Lightning."

Lawrend was confused why he was asking that. Nevertheless, he still answered.

"Then I can't help you."

Olgar shook his head.

"Why?"

Lawrend looked at him shocked and confused.

"If you hadn't noticed, I am a Wind-element High Mage. I can only teach you basic stuff."

Olgar explained to him. There was a fundamental difference between elements that makes it impossible for a mage to teach someone with a different element.

"The basic stuff is enough!"

Lawrend shouted in reply.

"Didn't your tutor teach you the basic stuff?"

Olgar asked Lawrend in bewilderment.

"I never had someone tutor me about magic."

Lawrend shook his head as he replied.

"Then, you learned magic by yourself!?"

Olgar looked at Lawrend in shock.

"No. I actually got a Beginner Magic Spell. When I chanted it, I suddenly had magic inside me."

Lawrend shook his head and explained to him.

"Ah. Then that's normal. I thought you created your own magic spell. I would have kidnapped you and dragged you to the headquarters of the Mage Guild if you were."

Olgar said to him with a smile on his face.

"Haha… I don't know what to feel about that."

Lawrend laughed awkwardly.

"Can you tell me how a magic spell works? And why does it give magic when cast for the first time?"

Lawrend asked Olgar with a face full of curiosity. This was something he had been wondering about before.

"I'm quite curious, why didn't your father hire a Mage to tutor you?"

Instead of answering his question, Olgar asked him one of his own.

"..."

Lawrend was silent for a while before he opened his mouth.

"My father wanted me to be a successful merchant. He never discussed with me if I wanted to become a swordsman or a mage."

Lawrend replied.

"I'm sorry to say this, but your father is stupid. He should have at least tested if you were capable of using magic when you reached 7 years old. It seems to me that you only started practicing magic recently."

Olgar said to him half apologetic and half mockingly.

"I-I don't know."

Lawrend replied with a stutter. It was awkward hearing someone call his respected father stupid.

"To answer your question earlier, for me, spells are there to guide you on how your magic will work. Once you reach a certain point, you can insta-cast that spell. Like me, I can insta-cast my True Mage Magic Spell 'Vortex Whirlwind'. I used it before to protect us from the winds when we were flying here."

Olgar answered his question earlier in a detailed manner.

Lawrend looked down and held his chin in thought. A few seconds later, he looked at Olgar and opened his mouth.

"Does that mean that you still need to chant your High Mage Magic Spells?"

Lawrend asked him.

"Haha. Of course, I do. Only after I become an Arch Mage would I be able to do that."

Olgar answered Lawrend's question with a short laugh as he found Lawrend's question funny.

"I understand. But could you learn more than one spell?"

Lawrend nodded his head in understanding before asking. This was something that was bothering him. The books that he read were useless as it doesn't provide this information.

"You can learn as much as you like."

Olgar replied to Lawrend's question. Lawrend's eyes immediately glowed brightly. He decided to learn a lot of spells then.

"But I don't recommend it. In fact, no one does. It's hard to get used to your magic spell. If you keep using different magic spells, it would take far longer before you could insta-cast it. For example, it might even take till you become a High Mage before you can insta-cast a Beginner Magic Spell."

Olgar shook his head just as Lawrend was thinking of abusing it. His words brought down Lawrend's excitement to disappointment.

"That sucks. Then the answer to my second question?"

Lawrend nodded his head with a sigh. He got his hopes up for nothing.

"It's simple. Our bodies have latent mana. When we chant a magic spell that resonates with the latent mana inside our bodies, it would appear, and you would then be a mage of that element. Which is also why we only have one element as our bodies can't store latent mana of another element."

Olgar explained to Lawrend.

"We can only have one element?"

Lawrend asked, stunned. He was even thinking of trying out other elements.

"There are exceptions, but those are very talented mages. Even with your greater mana purity, you're like a firefly comparing yourself against the moon with them."

Olgar looked at Lawrend solemnly. Something about this topic made him serious.

"Thank you for your guidance!"

Lawrend bowed his head towards Olgar. It would have taken Lawrend a long time to learn these pieces of information if he didn't tell him.

"It's nothing. You're one of us, after all."

Olgar smiled in return. He felt happy that he was able to teach something to Lawrend.

"I'll go practice magic, Mr. Olgar. I'll see you again later."

Lawrend bid his farewell to Olgar and left the room.

"You can ask me anything if you have any questions."

Olgar said to Lawrend just as he left.

Lawrend walked out of the door with a wide smile on his face. His questions were finally answered. It's now time for him to increase his mana reserve.
