"Young Master?"
Nao entered the room with a confused face. He just saw Aleshia leave Lawrend's room in a fluster.
"N-Nao."
Lawrend greeted him with a stutter. He moved his legs and hid his lower body.
"Young Master, your breakfast is ready."
Nao informed him with a straight face.
"Alright. I'll take a short bath first."
Lawrend replied to him. It has been a while since he had taken a bath.
"I'll have it prepared soon."
Nao bowed his head and turned around to leave.
"Oh, right. Where is Ella?"
Lawrend asked in confusion. He realized that he was sleeping on the bed where Ella was resting.
"We moved her to the room next to this one."
Nao turned around and replied.
"I see."
Lawrend nodded in understanding.
After seeing that Lawrend had no more questions, Nao turned around and left.
"Phew."
Lawrend looked down at his crotch and waited for it to calm down. After a while, he stood up and left the room. He headed to take a bath at the bathhouse in the mansion. It was a place only the master of the house and his family could use which is why Olgar didn't use it.
…
After a quick bath, Lawrend was now sitting on the dining table. He ate his breakfast leisurely. There was a fried egg and a sausage served on his plate.
"Aleshia, how is Ella?"
Lawrend turned his head to the right. Aleshia was standing there beside him.
"She's still unconscious, Young Master."
Aleshia replied. They both decided to not talk about what happened inside the room this morning so they were both pretending that nothing happened.
"Huh… I'm really worried about her."
Lawrend frowned hearing her words. It had been a day already. When would Ella wake up?
Aleshia gripped her maid uniform when she heard Lawrend's words. Hearing his words, she became more worried about her little sister.
"Don't worry. She will wake up soon."
Lawrend saw her actions from the corner of his eyes and reassured her.
"Mhm."
Aleshia nodded weakly. Worry was evident on her face.
…
After finishing his breakfast, Lawrend arrived in front of Olgar's room.
Knock Knock
"Mr. Olgar? It's me, Lawrend."
Lawrend knocked on the door. He heard from the butlers that Olgar hadn't eaten ever since he arrived.
"Lawrend? Enter."
Olgar's voice sounded from the other side.
Lawrend opened the door and entered the room. He saw Olgar sitting on the bed cross-legged. He was wearing his mage cloak this time.
"Mr. Olgar, I have a question regarding magic…"
Lawrend said to him shyly. It was awkward asking someone like Olgar to teach him and answer his questions.
"Don't be shy. I will answer your questions to the best of my abilities."
Olgar smiled at him faintly and urged him on. Olgar is an above-average-looking man. He has black hair, black pupils, and a skinny body. He gives off the aura of a serious person.
"How do I increase my mana reserves?"
Lawrend asked him. His method of exhausting his mana to increase it little by little is not practical. It would take him years just to become a True Mage.
"That's easy. Increase your mana control, and your mana reserves should naturally increase with it. That is because the finely detailed you can control mana, the better your body can keep mana in it."
Olgar explained to him in detail. Having mana inside your body is like herding sheep, if you can't herd all of the sheep, then you can't keep them all. That means, the better you can herd the sheep, the better they can stay inside your body.
"I understand."
Lawrend nodded his head. It makes sense now that Olgar explained it to him. Since technically, he was getting better at controlling his mana each time he used his spell.
"But how do I do that? Do I need to use my spell?"
Lawrend asked. It was theoretically possible, but how was he gonna do it?
"You don't need to. Focus your mana to your index finger and control the amount of mana you can release from it. Once you get that right, you can start to control its directions too."
Olgar shook his head and explained to him.
"Does mana purity change anything?"
Lawrend asked. This was what he was most curious about. His mana was purer than normal after all. He also had that White Hole inside him that seems to be able to purify his mana.
"Oh, yes. The purer your mana, the harder it is to control it, which is also why you can't keep as much as before once you become stronger. Pure mana is also significantly stronger than impure mana. There are other effects such as your pure mana having the ability to control more mana from the environment. This is why you can cast much stronger spells once you become a rank stronger."
It was a long explanation from Olgar, but in simpler terms, Purer Mana = Harder To Control, and Purer Mana = Stronger Spells.
"That's quite complicated."
Lawrend couldn't help but say to Olgar.
"Indeed it is. Magic is not simple. After all, it leads to the truth of the universe."
Olgar smiled at Lawrend's words. Magic describes the mysteries of how everything works. It will be naive to underestimate it.
"Thank you for answering my question."
Lawrend bowed towards Olgar. Olgar's words gave him a direction on where to take his magic now.
"I told you. Stop thanking me. I'm doing this since you are one of us."
Olgar scratched the back of his neck awkwardly after hearing Lawrend's words.
"Nevertheless, your words have certainly guided me to a straighter path to becoming stronger."
Lawrend insisted.
"Hahaha! That's what Master's are for. Though, you aren't my disciple. I'll help you look for one after we reach the Mage Guild located in the capital city."
Olgar laughed hearing Lawrend's words. He felt gratified that Lawrend was such a good kid.
"Thank you. Then, I'll leave."
Lawrend bowed his head and bid him farewell.
"I'll be here to answer more of your questions. Also, tell your butlers that I don't need to eat. Fasting is normal for a High Mage."
Olgar also bid his farewell to Lawrend and informed him.
"I'll relay your words to them."
Lawrend nodded his head and left the room.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
