"Geez. Master, you're not dreaming! Wake up!"
Aleshia shook Lawrend's leg to wake him up.
??
"Really?"
Lawrend rose from the bed and looked at her seriously.
"Yes."
Aleshia nodded her head candidly.
"Then, can I get a kiss?"
Lawrend smirked at her.
"S-Sure…"
Aleshia's face turned red, and she moved her face closer. She then pecked Lawrend's lips and immediately turned away.
"Master, look here."
Aezel said to Lawrend. He then turned his head, and before he could react, his lips were pecked.
"Master… This is too embarrassing so…"
Elena said to him before she pecked his cheek. This was her first time kissing Lawrend, so she was still somewhat reserved about it.
"Huh?"
Lawrend blinked his eyes in confusion. All of them suddenly kissed him consecutively.
"Y-Young Master, can you give me your hand."
Ella opened her hand towards Lawrend with her face looking away in embarrassment.
"Okay?"
Lawrend stretched his left hand towards her while his face was still confused.
Ella took it and gave it a light peck.
"T-This is the only thing I could do, Young Master. Big Sister said that I have to g-grow up first."
Ella said to Lawrend with a red face.
"That's right, Master. Don't you dare touch her!"
Aleshia nodded her head at Ella's words in agreement.
"Relax. Like I told Aezel, I'm not a pedophile."
Lawrend smiled wryly hearing Aleshia's words.
"Hehehe. I was joking, Master."
Aleshia laughed at Lawrend's response.
"Okay, Master, stay there. We will feed you again."
Aleshia said to Lawrend with excitement.
"Alright."
Lawrend nodded his head.
And so, Lawrend was spoon-fed by his maids again.
This became their routine every day. Lawrend ate, practiced magic, and slept for a week.
"Master, are you nervous?"
Aleshia asked Lawrend as they stood in front of the Undrasil Mage Academy. She was not wearing her maid uniform today. That included Elena and Ella. Instead, they wore the cloaks that they had been wearing before.
As for Aezel, she still wore her maid uniform and her mask. She stood beside them silently. They divided the work with each other and Aezel was assigned to escorting Lawrend since she's the strongest one.
Feli was left back at the inn. In her time there, she got to know Nimela Grey. They both talked about how great of a big sister Aleshia was together, and they immediately felt a connection with each other. They now treat each other like a blood-related sister.
"I'm excited, actually."
Lawrend smiled at her. He wore the same cloak that the Mage Guild gave him.
"Wait till you meet our instructors, Master. They are very nice."
Aleshia said to Lawrend with a smile.
"Alright. I'll see if they are as nice as you say."
Lawrend nodded his head. He was somewhat skeptical about her words since the first instructor he met was corrupt. It would be hard to convince him that not one of those instructors was just doing it to curry favor for Aleshia and the rest.
"Don't worry, Master. I'll scold them if they dare to slight you."
Aleshia said to Lawrend proudly. Since they entered the academy with the golden medallions, they wield a lot of prestige.
"Actually, I want you girls to not interact with me inside the academy. I want to see clearly what this academy is made of."
Lawrend replied to her solemnly.
"Master…"
Aleshia stared at Lawrend for a while.
"You got it, Master. We won't talk to you inside the academy."
Aleshia nodded her head. She turned to Elena and Ella which they both nodded their heads in agreement.
"Mm. Well then, we'll go first."
Lawrend nodded his head and bid them farewell. He entered the academy together with Aezel. There were crowds of people around them. They were all young men and women without any exception.
"Master, are you sure about this?"
Aezel asked Lawrend.
"Yes. I don't want to rely on them too much. I still have my pride as a man, after all."
Lawrend replied to her confidently as he continued walking.
"Fufufu. As expected of Master."
Aezel laughed hearing Lawrend's words. He was probably the only one who would not take advantage of such an opportunity to wield their prestige.
"You had been holding back for 2 weeks now, right?"
Lawrend asked her with a meaningful smile.
"Fufufu. Don't worry. I relieve myself once in a while."
Aezel laughed in response as her lips curved up into a smile under her mask.
"Hahaha. I'll help you out once in a while."
Lawrend winked at her.
"New students! Line up here!"
An instructor wearing a red cloak shouted towards the crowd. He looked regal and refined in his outfit.
"It seems like we'll continue this conversation later."
Lawrend said to her. He then headed to the line currently forming in front of the instructor. The people lining up had the same people present when Lawrend took the Entrance test a week ago, but he couldn't recognize most of them. These students he didn't recognize took a different day for their Entrance Test, or they are directly admitted through different channels.
Other instructors also shouted around them. They formed lines for different students. Aleshia, Elena, and Ella were all on separate lines.
The instructor in front of Lawrend waited for a while before he opened his mouth again.
"Each element line up separately!"
The instructor shouted.
Immediately, the new students turned around and asked each other. They then formed their own lines. Lawrend could only stand there. He didn't remember seeing a lightning mage when he took the entrance test so he was somewhat lost on what to do.
"Hey, are you a lightning mage?"
A man wearing a bright yellow cloak approached Lawrend.
"Hm? How did you know?"
Lawrend looked at him in bewilderment. He doesn't remember seeing him before when he showed his lightning magic. Though, it could just be him forgetting.
"Haha, so I was right. Besides me, you're the only one who never approached the other elements."
The man smiled at him. He was in his early twenties, and when he smiled, he squints his eyelids so much that it's practically closed.
"Oh! Then, let's form a line."
Lawrend looked at him in interest. This man seems to be the smart kind.
"My name is Levin. A new student here. Nice to meet you."
Levin extended his hand to Lawrend with a courteous smile on his face.
