"Who's that?" a voice wondered.

"I don't know, but he must be a big shot," the mages whispered to each other.

Lawrend led his entourage up the stairs and entered the Guild Master's office.

The instant he entered, Lawrend was shocked.

There were three tables in the room that were facing each other. The two of them had two people sitting while scribbling on paper.

"Hm?"

One of them took notice of Lawrend, and he looked back.

"This is Fire Arch Mage Grendan Rubrignis, and the other one is Light Arch Mage Brues Kilea. They are both here to assist me just in case the Noble Demon Aezel attacks once again," Reon introduced them.

Grendan was a modestly beard middle-aged man, and he was 178cm(5'10) tall. Just like the Rubrignis that he was, Grendan's hair color was red. And Brues was a scholar-looking man with a neat appearance.

Aezel: "..."

Aezel slowly turned around and wore her mask. She had stopped wearing it after Lawrend returned to the academy once again.

Lawrend smiled at her wryly as he noticed her wear the mask. His heart almost fell when Reon arrived, but thankfully, Reon focused on him and didn't recognize Aezel.

"You should've worn that earlier," Lawrend turned around and whispered into her ear.

"Forgive me, Master. My strength caused me to not think about it," Aezel replied.

"Lawrend?" Reon called out.

When he heard his name called out, Lawrend immediately turned back around and faced the Arch Mages.

"A-Ah! Yes. My name is Lawrend Horiel. I'm a Lightning High Mage," Lawrend introduced himself awkwardly.

"High MAGE!?" Reon shouted in disbelief.

He squinted his eyes and focused on Lawrend's mage pin.

"I'm so proud of you! It seems like you have reaped a lot of benefits in the capital city," Reon said with a wide smile on his face.

"Hahahaha… It was nothing," Lawrend replied with a smile on his face.

"I thought it was someone with you that was a High Mage when I was called," Reon said.

"Lawrend? Your name sounds familiar," Grendan said as he rubbed the bottom of his chin.

"You heard about me?" Lawrend asked, feigning a surprised look on his face.

"Yes. I seem to have heard about you from my niece, but I can't recall what he said," Grendan replied with a confused look on his face.

"It's probably not something important," Lawrend replied.

"Your hair looks great, by the way," Grendan said with a smile on his face.

"Hahahahaha… Thanks," Lawrend laughed awkwardly.

It seemed to him that Grendan was just praising the color of his hair that was similar to the Rubrignis.

"What's going on, Lawrend? Why are you here?" Reon asked.

"I want to talk to you in private," Lawrend replied and glanced at Grendan and Brues.

"Okay. Follow me," Reon replied and pulled him outside of the room.

When they exited the room, Reon couldn't help but look at the maids outside the door.

"...Are they your maids?" Reon asked with a wry smile on his face.

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Lawrend asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"There's too many of them. Leave some of them downstairs," Reon replied.

"Aezel, Aleshia, and Kenova stay with me. For the rest, you can all stay downstairs. Don't make a mess, okay?" Lawrend ordered.

He needed Aezel for protection, and Aleshia was there because she was already familiar with Reon. As for Kenova, he will be the replacement if Reon disagrees.

"Yes, Master," they all responded.

"Why do I have to listen to you, Lawrend?" Ramiela asked with a frown on her face.

She felt as if she was one of his maids lately as he was able to order her around.

"Stay then," Lawrend calmly replied.

"She's not your maid?" Reon asked.

"She isn't. Anyways, where can we talk in private?" Lawrend asked.

"Follow me," Reon replied.

He led them downstairs and into a staircase leading underground. There were light stones put on the ceiling to serve as a light source. They walked several meters underground before reaching a steel door.

Reon placed his palm on the center of the door, and a magic circle glowed on the door, and lines flowed outward.

"Open!" Reon shouted.

The steel door unlocked and slowly opened a small gap.

Seeing that it was done, Reon pushed the door open, and they entered inside it. There was a huge magic circle on the floor, and various magic materials were placed on shelves around the walls.

"This is…"

Lawrend stared at the room in awe. Just from looking at the magic materials, he could guess that this room contained most of the wealth of the Mage Guild.

"This is the heart of this city's defensive magic circle. We can discuss here in private," Reon explained.

"Couldn't we have just talked in a normal room? We might break some things here," Lawrend replied.

"That's not a worry. Unless you're an Arch Mage, it's very hard to destroy even one line of this magic circle," Reon replied with a slight smug on his face.

"I guess this is better," Lawrend replied and entered the room.

He looked down at the magic circle and analyzed it. But to no extent was he able to understand anything.

Knowledge of magic circles doesn't come from magical strength. It comes from learning that knowledge somewhere. So far, Lawrend had never studied magic circles.

"So what is it that you have to come here from the capital city?" Reon asked.

"I want you to be my follower and supporter," Lawrend said.

"..."

Reon furrowed his eyebrows and stared at him in confusion. He was an Arch Mage, and he couldn't process why a High Mage was saying something so arrogant to him.

"Aezel, reveal yourself," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Master," Aezel replied.

She lowered her head and took off her mask slowly. She then raised her head and showed Reon her beautiful face. It was very familiar to Reon that he was never able to forget about it after recovering from their fight.

"Y-Y-You're siding with the demon!?" Reon exclaimed in disbelief.
