'Where should I practice? Hmm…'

Lawrend held his chin in thought as he walked through the hallway. He didn't want them to know that he could already use magic. It would be hard to explain how he got a Beginner Magic Spell.

"I guess I'll do it in Ella's room."

Lawrend thought out loud and headed towards Ella's room. After a few turns and walking down a staircase, he knocked on the door. The butler Nao was waiting on the side.

"Aleshia. It's me."

Lawrend spoke to the door.

"Young Master!"

Aleshia opened the door with joy evident on her face before she quickly hid it when she saw Nao on the side.

Lawrend entered the room and closed the door.

"R-Ren, what is it?"

Aleshia stuttered when she mentioned Lawrend's nickname. She still wasn't used to calling him that way.

"I want to practice magic here. Is that okay? Don't let anyone in without informing me."

Lawrend said to her. He doesn't want to be caught red handed, after all.

"Okay."

Aleshia nodded her head solemnly. She walked to the door and locked it.

Nao, who was waiting outside, looked at the door handle with a confused face. He just heard it lock.

'Could they be!?'

Nao's mind immediately wandered around. He was definitely not thinking of something obscene.

"I'll sit here."

Lawrend informed her before he sat on the floor beside the bed.

"Mm."

Aleshia nodded her head lightly.

Lawrend closed his eyes and looked at the violet lightning mana inside his body. It was all so vibrant as it flowed through his veins.

'I have to increase my mana reserves, but how am I gonna do that?'

Lawrend looked at the mana flowing inside his body silently. It was a wonder to him how does one even increase their mana. He should have asked Olgar about this. Nevertheless, Lawrend thought back to his experiences using his magic spell.

'Ah! I remember now. Whenever I use Shock Arc, my mana increases.'

Lawrend got a flash of insight from his memories. He remember noticing that his mana reserves increases by a tiny amount every time he uses a magic spell.

'So I just have to keep using Shock Arc again and again.'

Lawrend thought and opened his eyes.

'But how am I gonna use Shock Arc here? It will be too loud.'

Lawrend looked at Ella who was still unconscious and towards the door. It will be loud enough for Nao outside the door to hear the thundering sound of the Shock Arc spell.

Lawrend looked around the room, lost in thought. He ended up staring at the floor silently.

'That's it!'

Lawrend remembered something from the memories he got. Electricity is easily conducted to the ground. The floor of this room was made from rough rock tiles. That means that his Shock Arc spell would not make a thundering noise.

Lawrend opened his palms and put it directly on the floor. He closed his eyes and chanted.

"... Shock Arc." [Author's Note: Chanting is skipped. It will be boring repeating it again and again.]

Nothing happened, but Lawrend knows that something did happen. The lightning traveled through the tiles and into the ground.

"Perfect."

Lawrend smiled happily. It works just like how his previous life's memories taught him.

"Ren?"

Aleshia called Lawrend with a frown on her face. She was hugging Ella to shield her just in case.

"Ah… I'm sorry. Did I scare you, Shiana?"

Lawrend asked her worriedly.

"Y-Yes, I was startled. After all, your magic spell is deadly."

Aleshia explained to him. Lawrend was reminded of the moment his Shock Arc spell killed goblins and threw their flesh into the air.

"I'm increasing my mana reserves, actually. Every time I use a magic spell, it increases a little bit after I recover."

Lawrend explained to her with a smile.

"I see… Young M— I mean, Ren works really hard." ????????????????????a????. ????૦????

Aleshia looked at him with admiration.

"Yes. I want to have the power to protect you."

Lawrend said to her and flashed her a smile.

"Ren…"

Aleshia's eyes warmed hearing Lawrend's words. It was so sweet and inspiring for her.

"That was tiring."

Lawrend rested his back on the bed frame. He was still only able to use his Shock Arc spell once. Doing it again would be impossible as his mana reserve is already empty.

"Ren, are you okay?"

Aleshia stood up from the bed and crouched beside him with worry evident on her face.

"I'm fine. I just feel tired."

Lawrend reassured her. He slowly grew sleepy. Before long, he had already closed his eyes.

Aleshia looked at him with a smile. His face looks so serious while he's asleep. She stood up and walked towards the door.

Lawrend opened his eyes groggily. He looked around him and saw the white ceiling. Beside him was a bed frame.

"Ren, you're awake."

Aleshia called out to him when she saw him open his eyes. He raised his body and looked at the mattress under him in confusion.

"I had the butler outside bring a spare mattress."

Aleshia explained to him when she saw his confused face.

Lawrend looked out the window and saw that it was already night.

"I see."

Lawrend said to her before he stood up and sat on the floor again.

"You're still gonna continue without eating?"

Aleshia asked him with worry on her face.

"Yes. I'll eat tomorrow since I don't feel that hungry."

Lawrend replied to her. Even though he used up all of his mana, he wasn't hungry that much.

"Don't push yourself too far, Ren."

Aleshia reminded him.

Lawrend paused before he opened his mouth.

"I won't."

Lawrend replied to her with a smile. He then focused and placed his palms on the floor.

"...Shock Arc."

After chanting again, Lawrend released another magic spell.

He moved to the mattress and laid on it. It was so tiring being drained of mana.

"Ren…"

Aleshia looked at him worriedly. She doesn't know what to do to help him.

Suddenly, an idea popped inside her head.
