Chapter 268: Teacher Elena

"Can you help me understand this?"

A silver book appeared in Lawrend's hand, and he showed it to her. It was the book titled, "Theory of Magic Prediction Research". He got it from the Purple Thunder Grand Mage.

"Oh, what's this, Master?" Elena asked as she stared at the silver book with interest.

"This book contains everything that the Lightning Department in the academy will teach to its students. There are some parts that I can't really understand," Lawrend explained to her.

"Wow. Master even has this? As expected of Master," Elena said with admiration on her face.

She took the book from his hand and opened it. She browsed through the pages calmly and silently.

Lawrend waited beside her in anticipation. He expected her to easily understand it.

"Mhm, mhm… I understand everything in this book, Master. There are some parts I thought I understood well, but I actually got it wrong. Ask me anything," Elena said as she quickly flipped through every page.

Lawrend's eyes widened in excitement. As expected of a lightning slime.

"Explain to me the Theory of Magic," Lawrend said.

"The theory of magic is just a theory, Master. It serves as a beginner guide, but it shouldn't be followed to the very end. That's why they teach you to make theories on your own in the First-Year.

"I even heard that you made your own, and it's better than what the academy teaches. You'll probably be given the invitation to become an instructor once you graduate, Master," Elena replied.

"Ah! So that's why. Then, I just have to make theories that get closer to perfection?" Lawrend asked.

"Correct. You can make as many theories as you want, Master. I only have one, and if Master wants, I can teach it to you," Elena replied.

"Now I'm interested. What's your theory?"

This would be the first time Lawrend would ask her about her magic like this. This was also the reason he wanted to study in the same year as her. If they are studying together, he could observe a new side of her.

"Willpower evokes magic. If you can think about the result, then you can create the magic," Elena replied.

"Wait! Was that why I could create magic spells on my own? Because I already know the results?" Lawrend asked her in shock.

Back when he was taking the entrance exam in the academy, he was able to create his own True Mage Spell. Then, when he was at the Yttervia Forest, he was able to cast a spell that he didn't even know. And he was also able to cast a Lightning Ball just by thinking of it.

"Master created his own magic spells? Wow!" Elena said as she looked at him with eyes filled with admiration.

"I'm not as good as you, though. You immediately copied my Shock Arc spell when you first saw it," Lawrend replied.

"No… I'm inferior to Master. I can't even create my own spells. I can only copy them," Elena replied.

"What, really?"

In Lawrend's mind, Elena was a genius that can do anything with her magic. It was really shocking for him to hear from her that she can't create her own magic.

"Yes. Teach me many spells later, Master. You don't have to teach me the chants," Elena replied.

"So… Willpower evokes magic, huh. I wonder how I can expand on that," Lawrend muttered in thought.

"You can take your time, Master. I'll teach you forever!" Elena said with a smile on her face.

"Okay. Teach me forever," Lawrend replied and returned her smile to her.

"Buzu!"

Elena raised her hand up into the air in happiness. As long as she can teach something to her Master, then she would teach him for as long as he liked.

"Then, teach me what the Practice of Magic is all about," Lawrend said.

"The Practice of Magic is related to the Theory of Magic. It's about how you can confirm your theory and amend any mistakes in it. Basically, practice your theory and test its limits," Elena explained.

"Hmmm… That makes sense. Thank you, Elena," Lawrend replied gratefully.

"No worries, Master. I know you're gonna ask about Prediction of Magic next, so I'll go ahead and explain it for you," Elena replied

"Sure, go ahead," Lawrend replied.

"The Prediction of Magic is about how you can predict a theory if it will work out or not. The more accurately you can predict where a theory would fail, the better you are at magic," Elena explained.

"Wow. So the lessons for each year are connected to each other?" Lawrend asked in amazement.

That would mean that everything the academy would be teaching would be creating a stable foundation for the student. In the future, that student would surely excel in magic.

That would then mean that every graduate of the academy would be a powerful mage. But how many mages had graduated from the academy? This was the moment Lawrend realized how strong the kingdom actually was. If the academy calls for all of them, it would be a big fighting force.

'That's more so a reason to become a king of this kingdom. If I can tap into the power of those mages, I can keep everyone safe,' Lawrend thought to himself.

The life of his maids was his priority. Even though he was their Master, he still cares a lot for them. He doesn't think of them as disposable pawns.

"Yes. Once you reach Fourth-Year, they would then teach you about the Research of Magic. At that part, you will try every possibility and write a thesis paper about your magic. What its flaws are etc," Elena replied.

'Thesis? My greatest nightmare at my university days is here…' Lawrend thought in a grimace.

Lawrend was sure that everyone could agree that writing a thesis was the worst thing ever. It takes a lot of work to do, and it exhausts you. Oh, the deadlines and the crappy groupmates that don't contribute anything.
