'I have already seen a True Mage spell in action.'

Lawrend thought to himself.

'But what is the difference between a True Mage spell and a Beginner Mage spell?'

Lawrend asked himself. He thought back to the True Mage spells that the mages used before in the battle area.

'How long is a Beginner Mage spell?'

Lawrend thought back to his Shock Arc Spell. The spell goes, "O' great Amber, be my electron and kill my enemies, Shock Arc!".

There was the first part, "O' great Amber".

Then there was the middle part, "be my electron and kill my enemies".

And the last part, "Shock Arc!"

For the spell that Vernon used before, it goes like this, "O' great Phoenix of old, bring life into this death, from ashes be reborn, Nirvana Flames!".

There were four parts instead of three. This was also the same as the True Mage spell that Number 1 used before that goes like this, "O' great Apollo, lend me your flames of a never-ending ball of fire, the sun's nourishing flame, Flame Divide!"

In conclusion, there are four parts to a True Mage spell. That means that Lawrend only needs to add another part to his Shock Arc spell, and he would be able to turn it into a True Mage spell.

'What is more powerful than an arc of lightning?'

Lawrend asked himself. He remembered his previous life and thought about all of the lightning or electric knowledge he knows.

'Turn to sprite and overwhelm, Lightning Sprite!'

That passage ran through Lawrend's mind naturally. It was as if that was the answer to his question.

Lawrend inhaled deeply and released it in a long breath. He opened his eyes and stood up. He was now ready to fight.

"Ready?"

Instructor Kail immediately noticed Lawrend's movements. He quickly shouted and caught Number 35's attention.

"Hm?"

Number 35 heard Instructor Kail and opened his eyes. He saw Lawrend standing ready in front of him. He smiled and also stood up.

"Hahaha. I want to see what you came up in 5 minutes."

Number 35 laughed at Lawrend.

"This is my first time using this spell. Prepare yourself."

Lawrend said to Number 35 solemnly and warned him.

"First time? You couldn't have created a True Mage spell on the spot could you?"

Number 35 laughed mockingly at Lawrend. He never heard anyone creating a new spell on the spot. Besides, creating a new spell requires talent, power, and enlightenment. It was not something that could be forced on the spot.

"Then, let's attack!"

Lawrend shouted to him with excitement. This was his first time feeling that being a mage is fun. The feeling of creating a spell and using it for the first time made Lawrend's heart beat in excitement.

"O' great Amber, be my electron and kill my enemies, turn to sprite and overwhelm, Lightning Sprite!"

"O' Gaia of Earth, create me a terra, arise my henge, Shock Quake!"

Both Lawrend and Number 35 chanted at the same time. Mana built up inside their bodies. It attracted the environmental mana around them in a maelstrom of mana.

From Lawrend's raised palm, a thick arc of lightning escaped. The lightning arc split into 2 as it traveled then it continued splitting into 4 then 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc. All the way until it was uncountable. It all headed towards Number 35.

From Number 35's side, he stomped his foot on the ground. It created a rumble that shook the surroundings.

Seeing the two sides attacking with True Mage spells, everyone's attention was grabbed. Even the ones fighting in the other battle areas stopped to watch.

Unfortunately for Number 35, lightning is instantaneous at their level. His whole body was immediately showered with lightning sprite.

Seeing that the situation took a turn for the worst, the Dean Master took action. He created a thick wall of solidified air in front of Number 35. It absorbed Lawrend's attack without fail.

BOOM BOOM BOOM

With each boom, a huge henge of stone would appear from the ground. It grew in size as it got nearer to Lawrend— This was Number 35's True Mage spell.

"Master!"

Aezel immediately took action. She embraced Lawrend and jumped back to escape the blast of the True Mage spell.

That action of hers didn't escape the Dean Master's eyes.

'A High Mage? No— She's an Arch Mage! Just what is the background of this kid?!'

The Dean Master was shocked. This kid in front of them showed insane precision and control for his lightning magic. What's more, he has an Arch Mage-level maid following him around. He was glad that he interfered earlier, or he couldn't have known what would have happened to the academy.

The Dean Master was not the owner of the academy as it was the Grand Mages of the kingdom that owned it. He was only a pawn that managed it. That means that if he made a mistake, his life would be forfeit to appease the power behind Lawrend.

"Thank you, Aezel."

Lawrend thanked her before he closed his eyes and blacked out. That was his first time using that True Mage spell. He didn't know how much mana he should put, so he used a little bit too much.

"Oh my, Master…"

Aezel caught Lawrend's body and embraced his head against her boobs. She laughed at this silly scene.

Realizing that Lawrend would suffocate if this continued, she sat down on the ground in a seiza position. She placed Lawrend's head on her lap and gave him a lap pillow.

As for the spectators around them, they were all speechless. Some of the male mages even felt envy and anger bubbling up inside their throats.

"By my authority as the Dean Master, Number 33 is now exempt from any further battle."

The Dean Master shouted to them. He already knew that Lawrend could defeat any one of the people in here. There was no use for Lawrend to battle anymore.

The crowd nodded their heads. They didn't feel that anything was wrong in that fight. After all, Lawrend's lightning magic was the first to incapacitate Number 35.

...

"Lightning? Powerful? Master?"

A beautiful bluish-purple-haired adolescent teen raised her head into the sky. She looked towards Lawrend's direction at the Undrasil Mage Academy.
