"I wanted them to tell you this in person, but since you can't meet them, I'll tell you about it. I need to warn you though. Don't be shocked."
Olgar said to Lawrend.
"Okay."
Lawrend nodded his head after hearing Olgar's words. He calmed down the anger in his heart and waited for his answer.
"It all started when you were kidnapped a week ago…"
Olgar started narrating the events that happened a week ago.
…
Aleshia and the rest had just watched as Lawrend was taken into the Undrasil Monster Forest by the demon woman.
"Lawrend…"
Aleshia gripped Ella's hand and the hem of her clothes tightly as tears fell down her face continuously.
"Let's go."
Olgar said to them. He then controlled the golden saucer to move towards the capital city.
But just as they were about to reach the city, Elena acted up.
"No! Let's come back and save master-buzu!"
Elena shouted out loud in denial.
Olgar ignored her and continued flying towards the capital city.
Of course, Elena had no choice as Olgar was the one flying the golden saucer. Purple tears continuously leaked from her eyes as she sniffled once in a while.
"Follow me closely."
Olgar landed beside the city gate's entrance.
"But Master is still there-buzu!"
Elena insisted with a tantrum.
"Elena! Did you see that Grand Mage before? That man is significantly much stronger than that demon, but he didn't even dare to enter the forest! Besides, that demon is a Noble Demon! We will all die if we try to go after her."
Olgar couldn't take it anymore and admonished Elena. He tried to rationalize with her with his words.
"Buzu…"
Elena looked down sadly. She understood Olgar's words, and she realized that she could potentially not meet her master again in the future.
"Let's go."
Olgar beckoned them. He took the Golden Plate in his sleeves and led the way through the gate.
He led them through the city, and they stopped in front of the Mage Guild. The sky above them had already darkened.
"This is the Mage Guild that oversees all of the branches in the Undrasil Kingdom."
Olgar introduced them to the building as he led the way inside. Though, no one from the group listened to his words. They were all looking down or somewhere in dejection.
"Sigh. Believe in Lawrend. He will surely come back."
Olgar sighed and turned around to ease their worries.
"Mm. Master will surely return-buzu!"
Elena nodded her head with determination.
"Yes, the Young Master will surely come back. I believe in him."
Aleshia also nodded her head. Her eyes were filled with hope and determination.
"Ella believes in the Young Master too!"
Ella echoed her big sister's words.
"Alright. That's more like it."
Olgar smiled seeing them lift their spirits up. He then led them to a counter.
"Greetings, Sir High Mage. What can I do for you?"
The female receptionist wearing the blue Mage Guild uniform greeted Olgar with a smile.
"I would like to make a report for my mission."
Olgar replied to the receptionist.
It took Olgar a dozen minutes before he finished his so-called report. Basically, he wrote a narrative about what happened today. This way, he can be free of the liabilities for failing his mission terribly as the situation was beyond his control.
"Um, Mr. Olgar."
Aleshia walked towards Olgar shyly and called his name.
"What is it? Do you want anything?"
Olgar asked her with a smile.
"Actually, I want to learn magic. I'm curious if I can take a test."
Aleshia explained to him. Back then at Sheron Port City, she became interested in learning magic. After all, she doesn't feel like she was getting stronger even with her skills as an assassin.
"That's a great idea. You can all take a test. Follow me."
Olgar nodded his head in approval. He then led them all towards the Testing Grounds of this Mage Guild. This time, it was located on the second floor of the guild.
There was a large open flat area at the back of the second floor. When Aleshia and the rest entered it, they couldn't help but look around in awe.
Many mages were practicing their magic and hitting practice targets at the edge of the flat area. As it was already nighttime, the area was lit up by white lanterns hanging from poles all around.
"Hey! Can you test these three?"
Olgar called out to a True Mage sitting on a chair. The True Mage had been watching the mages bored when Olgar called for him.
"Huh? Ah! Sir High Mage, what can I do for you?"
The True Mage had just turned around when he immediately noticed the pin on Olgar's clothes. His attitude instantly changed into a respectful one.
"Test these three, I said."
Olgar repeated his words, slightly annoyed.
"Yes, sir!"
The True Mage nodded his head in salute. He then walked towards Aleshia's group.
"Misses, come with me."
The True Mage, which we would now refer to as 'Examiner', led Aleshia's group to a long table on the side.
"Here. Use these rulers to test your mana capacity and these crystal balls to determine your mana purity."
The examiner pointed to the instruments on the table.
"Test their elemental aptitude too."
Olgar said to the True Mage.
"Alright. This is a Mana Resonating Stone. It would react to the latent elemental mana inside your body if you hold it inside your hand."
The examiner picked up a small white pebble from the table.
"Thank you."
Aleshia nodded her head. She started first.
Aleshia picked it up and gripped it inside her hand. The stone slowly glowed with white light.
Suddenly, small black particles of mana appeared around Aleshia's clenched fist and spiraled around it. It sucked the light around it which made it visible even in the dark.
"Woah. That's rare. You can have the aptitude for Darkness Magic."
The examiner exclaimed in surprise. Most mages are practicing the four basic elements of Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth. A Darkness Mage is rare to come by.
"Does this mean that I can become stronger!?"
Aleshia asked the examiner with excitement.
