Chapter 671 Three-Year-Old True Mages

He continued and opened his mouth, he waited for a few more seconds before saying, "Above Arch Mages, you focus on increasing your efficiency. The more efficient you are at your magic, the higher you can reach."

Niko opened his eyes widely and turned to look at Lawrend. He bowed his head before quickly closing his eyes once more.

A faint smile formed on Lawrend's face after seeing that. He took a step back.

The purple lightning mana in the air around them gathered. They created winds that headed towards Niko's body. Soon, a small tornado formed with Niko in the center.

A dozen minutes later, the tornado of lightning mana stopped. The onlookers gulped their saliva as they waited with bated breaths.

Without suspense, Lawrend could already tell that Niko succeeded.

Niko slowly opened his eyes and a subtle pressure exuded from his body. The mana that passively escaped his body felt different and mightier. He stood up and bowed to Lawrend.

"Thank you for giving me the chance to become a Grand Mage!" Niko shouted with heart brimming with gratitude.

"You earned it for your hard work." Lawrend nodded his head in satisfaction.

This guy was a hothead when he first inscripted into the imperial army. Compared to before, he was calmer and clear headed. It was a positive improvement on his part.

"I will lead your Imperial Army to wherever you ask me to!"

"Good! I'm proud of you. Go on. I hereby assign Gregory as your Military Advisor!"

"I will do my utmost to fulfill that duty, Emperor," Gregory replied and bowed.

The mage soldiers around them noticed the cue and followed suit. They all bowed together to show their respect to the change of commanders.

"I will leave the formality to you to fix," Lawrend said.

He flew up to the sky and turned into an arc of golden lightning that shot into the imperial castle. The Imperial Army bowed towards his direction as he left. Their morale reached new heights as they all dreamed to one day become Grand Mages too.

"This is only the start," Gregory said to Niko and patted his shoulder.

…

Lawrend flew down to the training grounds. It was the middle of the day and there were spells flying here and there. Some training targets were set up and little kids were shooting spells at them.

Most of them clumsily missed their targets, but that didn't discourage them. Instead, it made them want to hit their targets more.

Lawrend focused on the most talented of them all– Veronica. She flicked her finger like a gun and a straight arc of powerful lightning hit her target at the center.

"Impressive!"

Lawrend touched the ground and clapped his hands together. He was honestly impressed by her performance. It had only been a month, but she had improved a lot.

"Father is here!" Law shouted.

The others who hadn't realized Lawrend's arrival looked over and stopped their magic training.

"Welcome back, Master," Aleshia said with a smile on her face.

Seeing the improvement of Lawrend's children made her happy. They could all be considered her children.

"I'm back. You did well. You may go back to your usual chores. Tell Elena to come back and return to her babysitting duties," Lawrend replied.

"I will tell her so, Master."

Aleshia nodded her head. She went over to Zio and patted his head.

"Mommy will leave now. Don't get into any fights, okay?" Aleshia said to him gently.

"Yes, Mother. I will do my best to improve," Zio replied and nodded his head solemnly.

During this past month, their intelligence increased greatly due to the improvement in their soul magic. It was a huge help for them as they were still young. It allowed them to mature quickly.

Aleshia smiled and nodded her head and left.

Lawrend felt proud seeing the mother and son interaction between them. That was his First Maid and his soon-to-be First Wife.

"As before, you all don't need to tell me what your levels are. I can tell with my eyes," Lawrend said to his children.

They became more interested and circled around him.

Veronica became a True Mage, Nephilim became a True Mage, Eina was still a Beginner Mage, Hanz became a True Mage, Law was still a Beginner Mage, Courage was still a Beginner Mage, Zio became a True Mage, and lastly, Straw was still a Beginner Mage.

Even though there were clear differences between his children's talents, Lawrend still felt proud of all of them. They would lead his bloodline in the future.

"Fathew, I'm still not a True Mage…" Eina said with a dejected expression on her face.

Seeing that cute face frowning made Lawrend's heart melt. He patted her head and smiled at her.

"You can do it. You need to absorb more mana and purify them. Select the ones you think look the prettiest."

"Thanks~, Fathew!"

Eina smiled widely and sat down on the ground. She meditated and focused on her mana.

"Law, Courage, and Straw, the three of you follow what I just told Eina. Pick your mana and discard those that you think don't look good or pretty," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Father!"

"Yes, Imperial Father!"

"Nyaa, Father!

The three of them got out of the circle and crossed their legs on the ground to meditate.

"As for the four of you, let me see your True Mage spells," Lawrend said and opened his palm.

"You haven't given us any yet, Father~" Veronica responded.

"Oh? None of you made any?" Lawrend guessed in surprise.

"Huh?"

The four of them became confused at Lawrend's words. They didn't understand what he meant.

"Alright then. The four of you are tasked with creating your own True Mage spells. None of you are allowed to touch other True Mage spells or you will receive punishment from me."

"O-Our own True Mage spells? Mother told me it takes decades and a lifetime to create one. And only Father can create them in an instant," Zio responded with skepticism on his face.
