Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 640 The Will To Persevere

It was a flashy entrance from Lawrend. He did it to make the effect of his lesson grander.

“Woah!!”

“That’s the Sun God??”

“What an entrance!”

“So powerful…”

Many in the crowd were awed by it. The Earth Mages were the most affected. They looked at each other with fear visible in their eyes. Lawrend popped up in the center without them realizing where he came from.

“Master, here is your Solar Path Book.”

Humility walked out of the Holy Sun Church. She was dressed in a golden gown with accents of white. She wore a religious hat with a gold sun popping out on top.

Overall, she looked like a goddess walking on earth.

Humility kneeled in front of Lawrend and lifted up the book to him. It was a sign of her subservience to him.

Lawrend casually took the book and opened it to page one.

“First, I would like to thank everyone for coming here. I can see many new faces from other Empires. I’m guessing you were sent here to spy on us ever since I took over,” Lawrend said.

He was as calm as ever. It didn’t seem like he was revealing shocking information to the crowd around him.

“!!”

The Earth Mages from the other empires were shocked that he found out about them. They didn’t even use any magic.

It was easy for Lawrend with his eyes. There was also some distinction between their magic that was easy to spot with Lawrend’s ability.

“Don’t be surprised. You are in my territory. I don’t mind you looking around if you know your limits,” Lawrend continued.

He then deliberately eyed each of the most powerful Earth Mages from the other empires. His gaze caused them to feel shivers down their spine. He didn’t show an angry face, but they knew he was warning them.

The crowd glanced at each other and some whispered. Lawrend’s display of his abilities earned a lot of admiration from the crowd.

After his previous appearance, Lawrend had never been seen again. This was the only time the others were able to see him clearly.

“Secondly, I would like to start by asking a very easy question.”

Lawrend took a step forward and glanced at the crowd. His gaze felt like it could see through all of their secrets. In reality, Lawrend was using his Elemental Eyes to find a talented person from them.

“You. What is your name?”

Lawrend pointed to a young kid wearing loose clothing. His appearance screamed that he was homeless.

“M-Me?”

The young boy looked behind him and saw everyone moving away. He looked back and saw Lawrend nodding his head at him.

“M-My name is Truf Lia,” the young boy nervously answered.

He had heard a lot of stories about Lawrend. He was also the person that made him homeless in the first place. His family died because of the fight.

“What is your dream?” Lawrend asked.

“My dream… It’s to avenge my family.”

Truf’s stare at Lawrend changed to one of anger. Remembering the death of his family members made him forget who Lawrend was. The only thing left in his mind was the loss of his family.

“Was it my fault?”

Lawrend could tell that it was him.

“Yes! I want to defeat you!” Truf declared without holding anything back.

“Would you do anything for that goal?”

Lawrend wasn’t fazed by Truf’s anger.

“Master…”

Humility glared at the kid in anger. She was ready to take him out if he ordered it.

“Yes!” Truf responded.

Lawrend nodded his head in satisfaction and looked up to the crowd around him.

“That is Will. When you want to do something, it’s your Will. The limits of your Will depend if you can persevere through the challenges brought about by it,” Lawrend spoke loudly.

He used his lightning magic to spread his voice to the whole Imperial Capital.

“Do you want to become a part of my church to work towards that goal? I will personally train you,” Lawrend said and extended his hand.

“Wha–?”

*Gasp!*

“No way?”

“How could he agree.”

Truf was the most shocked by the offer. He suddenly realized what he had just done and became confused with Lawrend’s response. He should be angry instead.

“This is your only chance. Otherwise, you won’t be able to defeat me. Learn my weaknesses and defeat me one day. I will await for your challenge in the future,” Lawrend continued.

“…”

Truf trembled. He felt humiliated after hearing Lawrend’s words.

He suddenly raised his head up and glared at Lawrend with a face full of anger. It was the angriest face Truf could make at the moment.

“I accept it! One day, I will defeat you!” Truf shouted with his voice brimming with determination and will.

Lawrend nodded his head and pulled Truf to Humility.

“Take him inside. I will start my lesson,” Lawrend said.

“Yes, Master.”

Humility bowed and took Truf with him. She was confused at what just happened. She couldn’t help but look at Truf’s angry and humiliated face.

“Just what is Master planning…” Humility whispered to herself.

After Truf was gone, Lawrend looked around at the crowd.

“As you had seen, Will is a very powerful thing. He was angry at me for accidentally killing his family, but he still took my offer. He is a smart kid. If he never took my offer, he would’ve never caught up to me,” Lawrend discussed to his audience.

Lawrend wasn’t boasting around when he said that no one would be able to catch up to him without his help. He was unique in this world, and he was very talented with his bloodline. No one could even if they had four elements.

“The Will is the foundation of a person. When we persevere through all of our challenges, we are honing our Will. And then one day, it will be tested, and we will be rewarded if we succeed…”

Lawrend gave a lesson about Will the whole day.
