Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend fell asleep on the journey. Even though Allen transferred enough energy for him to go through a day, it didn't remove the fatigue built up inside his body.

It was already lunchtime when Aleshia woke up Lawrend. She was back to her calm expression.

"Young Master, the food is ready."

Aleshia called out to Lawrend from outside the carriage. She was peeking directly inside at Lawrend, who was lying down on his back. Allen was sitting directly on top of his hair as he guarded him.

"Young Master!"

Aleshia increased the volume of her voice to wake up Lawrend. It ended up working as Lawrend sat up and rubbed his eyes. He looked around, still groggy.

"Hmm? What's the matter, Aleshia."

The moment Lawrend opened his eyes, he noticed something different. He looked around, and it may have just been his imagination, but he could feel a difference. It was so faint that he's not even sure about it.

In the end, Lawrend didn't pay it any heed and focused his eyes on Aleshia.

"The food is ready."

Aleshia reiterated to the now awakened Lawrend.

"Oh! Perfect timing! I feel hungry already."

Lawrend exclaimed to her. After casting that beginner lightning magic spell, he could feel that his stomach was now empty.

Lawrend disembarked from the carriage and sat down on a large stone Aleshia had prepared as his seat. At the same time, Aleshia sat on another one just adjacent to him. There was a roasted wild boar served in front of them.

"Wow! Looks delicious."

Lawrend wolfed down the wild boar while Aleshia used a kitchen knife to cut off some parts for him. A dozen minutes later, Lawrend was stuffed full. He used his hands to support him from the ground as he rested his back.

"Allen, don't wander too far."

Lawrend couldn't help but remind Allen when he saw him bouncing farther and farther from them. Allen turned around as if understanding his words and bounced toward him.

It didn't take long for Allen to crawl beside him, and Lawrend immediately gave him a head pat.

Aleshia watched it all unfold, and she was baffled about what's happening. A slime was displaying emotions that she has never seen other slimes display before.

"*Burp*!"

Lawrend released some gases from his stomach before picking Allen up and standing up. Aleshia started cleaning up, and not long after, they were already back on the road.

Lawrend closed his eyes the moment he was able to sit inside the carriage. He was noticing the changes to his body more and more. The food he just ate was being immediately digested and used by his body to evolve.

"What's this?"

Lawrend saw a small stream of violet energy flowing inside him. It was circulating inside his body silently.

Lawrend focused on it and tried to control it. The moment he did that, Lawrend jumped back in shock as the violet energy concentrated in his hand, and he was able to feel his hand develop the same feeling as when he just used the beginner electric magic spell.

'Is this what they call mana?'

Lawrend wondered to himself as he tried manipulating it to different parts of his body. It obeyed his will, and he discovered that it could practically go to any part of his body.

"Yes!"

Lawrend opened his eyes and clenched his fist tightly. This was an amazing achievement for him. He was finally able to be considered a magician now.

Lawrend pulled out the scroll once again and read its contents. This time, Lawrend memorized the words of the spell. Contrary to his expectations, it felt quite easy. It only took him 2 tries to memorize it. He was expecting to fail at least 5 times before he could do it.

Lawrend ignored it and just thought that it was just a misjudgment on his part. He sat once again facing the outside of the carriage.

This time Lawrend closed his eyes and lifted his right hand into the air.

He slowly chanted the spell to see if he could spot the changes in the violet energy inside his body.

"O' great, Amber, be my electron and shock my enemies, Shock Arc!"

Lawrend chanted and the moment he started the first word. He saw all the violet energy inside him freeze before gathering towards his hand in a lightning-like motion. Within an instant, his hand was full of violet energy.

Then when he ended the spell, a powerful force propelled all of that violet energy into an arc that reached towards the sky. This time he didn't aim it downwards so he could see how it would dissipate into the air.

What Lawrend saw was the arc flashing and crackling a few times before fading into thin air.

"Amazing… so that's how it works."

Lawrend looked at his hands and raised his head to look at the clear blue skies. The power of magic was evident to him now. The energy inside him created it, but what puzzled Lawrend was where did the first Shock Arc he used got its energy?

He could guess that the violet energy inside him was probably the electric mana mentioned in the books he had read. Of course, there are also other elements, but that's irrelevant for now.

Aleshia glanced at the back when she heard the cracking noises of the Shock Arc that dissipated into thin air. She furrowed her eyebrows as she was once again reminded that Lawrend now has the power to fight back against her.

The only thing that consoled her was the fact that they were under a blood contract. Otherwise, she would be on her toes, hoping that Lawrend would not vent his anger towards her with his new profound power.

Meanwhile, Lawrend was sitting inside the carriage with his eyes closed. He noticed the obvious scarceness of the violet electric energy inside him. There were only some bits and pieces flowing inside his body instead of the long stream that he had seen earlier.
