Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend stopped and waited for a dozen seconds. He allowed his audience to process what he was saying. And then, as if they were wolves howling under a full moon, all of them raised their heads as looks of understanding appeared on their faces.

"That's right. We use our minds to decide whether to take action or not. Then we use our bodies or magic to change the world around us. If you want something to happen, you have to work for it. That's what I'm trying to say, basically.

"With magic, each of you should use your minds to imagine how you want to change the world. Then try to put it into existence through a spell. But if you are gifted enough, you can do this without any spell…"

Lawrend lifted his other hand, and a phoenix formed on his hand before turning into a bright sun and then changing to a jet flame. The forms of magic formed without him uttering any spell but simply through the use of his imagination.

It might be possible for Earth Mages to insta-cast lower-level spells, but it was illogical to have a spell that changes from one form to another as it was a waste of time. So many of them believed him that he used his imagination.

"Holy… That makes a lot of sense!" Kilin shouted in excitement.

He had created a lot of lower-level spells before. Imagination played a great part when he was making those spells. He connected that experience with what Lawrend was saying, and it made him understand clearly how he was able to create those spells.

The others took longer, but they still understood what Lawrend was trying to convey to them. Their respect for Lawrend shot through the roof.

If Lawrend stopped his lesson now, they would feel that their payment was worth it.

"Imagination may be able to create magic, but what about spells? How do they work? Haven't you all noticed that spells describe what the ending magic will be?" Lawrend asked with a mysterious smile on his face.

"SPELLS INVOKE OUR IMAGINATION TO CREATE THE MAGIC!!" Kilin shouted in pure excitement.

He couldn't control himself as he stood up. The realization made him feel like he could improve more! It was amazing since he had long given up.

Gasps sounded within his audience as they also realized the implication of Lawrend's words. His lesson was so simple, yet they had never thought about them before. It really made them feel stupid.

"Correct. Not only do spells invoke our imagination, but it also communicates to the environmental mana what you want to do. That's why an Earth Mage chanting a Grand Mage spell will cast a more powerful spell compared to an Earth Mage insta-casting the same one."

"C-Can you be my Master!? I will be your disciple! Please, I want to learn more!"

Kilin jumped onto the stage and kneeled in front of Lawrend. He went as far as to embrace his leg.

"Hey!"

Lawrend swung his legs to get him away.

"Do you want me to dress like a maid!?" Kilin asked with bloodshot eyes.

"*Blegh* NO! DON'T MAKE ME IMAGINE SOMETHING SO HORRID!" Lawrend shouted in horror as he covered his mouth.

He gagged from imagining an old man like Kilin wearing a maid uniform.

"Please! I will do anything!"

"Then pay the next time I conduct my lesson. You can learn from me that way. In no way will I take anyone in as a Disciple," Lawrend replied.

The Flawed Earth Mages wanted to jump onto the stage and beg Lawrend, but they knew their limits. It would be impressive if they became Elevated Earth Mages in the future, even with Lawrend's help.

The other Elevated Earth Mages that recently joined in weren't as shameless as Kilin. They were still relatively young, so they were still prideful and wouldn't stoop so low as to beg to become someone's disciple.

"Thank you! Please give us more lessons!" Kilin shouted and walked back to his seat while facing Lawrend.

His face was filled with gratitude. He was so glad that Lawrend was so generous. He couldn't help but think that he was a Saint for teaching them his wisdom in exchange for a small amount of sum.

"This is enough for today," Lawrend said loudly.

"What!?"

Kilin's heart fell. He was like a drug addict that was suffering from withdrawal symptoms.

"Thank you for coming today. I will be back tomorrow."

Lawrend smiled and swooped the pile of Earth Mage Fire Mana Stones on the stage into his storage ring and left. His maids followed behind him with wide smiles on their faces.

Seeing their Master leave the others in shock and stupor was very satisfying. They strutted away with their heads raised high.

"Thank you, Teacher!" a Flawed Earth Mage shouted.

The others hurriedly imitated him.

"THANK YOU, TEACHER!"

The hearts of those that heard Lawrend's lesson were filled with gratitude. They couldn't describe how thankful they felt. This lesson might seem simple, but it provided them with a straight path to understanding the mysteries of magic.

Those that didn't hear Lawrend's lesson were all very confused. They hurriedly flew to their friends and asked what Lawrend had told them.

"No way. I won't tell you even if you're my mother. You have to pay for Teacher's lesson tomorrow," an Earth Mage said.

"Sorry. I want to respect Teacher."

"Please don't force me. I don't want to disappoint Teacher."

They didn't budge from the questions of their friends. They felt like it wasn't right to reveal the contents of the lesson after they had paid for it and because of how generous Lawrend was. It seemed proper not to answer, so they suggested that they pay for the next lesson.

"Master, you're so cool!" Ella said excitedly.

Her eyes shone with stars as she walked backward in front of him. He usually kept to himself and rarely showed his impressive abilities to others.

And whenever he did so, it always felt very satisfying for them. Ella was so proud to be his maid.
