Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 714 Earning Money With Style

Many of these Earth Mages had a great understanding of magic due to what they learned from the clan. That Phoenix Strike spell was particularly popular among many. Their brains froze as they couldn't comprehend what had just happened.

The spell formed a small phoenix by compressing pure fire mana.

That was the problem. It was made of fire mana, but it still burned with Lawrend's Fire Disintegration spell, which shouldn't be possible.

"Is it that surprising?" Lawrend chuckled.

The cheeks of Lawrend's opponent twitched. He felt humiliated and scared at the same time. If that spell could burn a fire spell to ashes, it could definitely burn his body to ashes.

The minds of the Earth Mages below churned as they tried to explain the power of Lawrend's spell.

The commotion attracted a lot of attention. The rest of the Earth Mages in the city noticed the waves of fire mana sent by their spells. They furrowed their eyebrows at the thought that Lawrend was much stronger than they had previously thought.

Of course, Lawrend's maids were among the ones that noticed. Amene and Aezel were both very familiar with and sensitive to Lawrend's mana. They were confused as to why he was fighting someone outside.

"Master!"

Except for Elena, Nao, and the children, everyone flew up to Lawrend. They were all worried about him and wanted to help.

"Back down. This is my private matter," Lawrend replied without looking at them.

"What are you doing, Master?" Aleshia asked.

She was the most senior among the maids, so she was the first one to open her mouth. After having that chat with Lawrend before, she regained a lot of confidence. She was able to overtake Aezel and the others from asking that question.

"I'm earning money," Lawrend replied.

"Money?"

"Watch."

The eyes of his maids went blank. Ember was the most confused because she couldn't tell how he was going to make money, and she knew why he was doing this.

Thus, they curiously kept their mouths shut and watched a distance away.

"Come on. Attack me more," Lawrend said to his opponent.

"..."

His opponent frowned and kept silent. He nervously looked around and saw every Earth Mage in the city staring at their battle.

"I'm forfeiting. You won," he said with gritted teeth.

He turned around and didn't wait for Lawrend's answer. He felt humiliated.

"What?! Brother, no, you're not my brother! You liar!"

The man below exclaimed as he felt scammed. The 'brother' realized that he was angry and quickly fled.

Lawrend floated down and landed on the stage.

"How about it? Was I right or not?" Lawrend teasingly asked.

The Flawed Earth Mages watching him nodded their heads, albeit unwillingly. The Elevated Earth Mage that was supposed to leave took a hesitant step back before finally deciding to return to his seat.

"Keep going," Kilin said.

"The fee earlier was just an initiation fee. Now that everyone here knows about my abilities, I can't help but charge the appropriate amount," Lawrend said.

"Shameless…" Kilin cursed under his breath.

Nevertheless, the sharp-bearded old man stood up and walked to the pile of Earth Mage Fire Mana Stones.

"Pay 100 more Earth Mage Fire Mana Stones to continue listening to my lesson."

"A-A hundred!?" one of them choked on his saliva after hearing the amount.

Kilin glared at Lawrend before grudgingly dropping a hundred more onto the pile. He then walked back to his seat and crossed his arms.

The other hesitant Earth Mages hesitated for a few more seconds before they started standing up one by one. They went to the pile and added more.

Seeing his money pile grow made Lawrend feel happy.

"Master is earning money…" Grape said with incredulity in her voice.

Their eyes became round as it finally made sense to them.

Not all of the Earth Mages went to pay. A great portion of them left.

But there were other Earth Mages from outside that heard Lawrend's words. They hastily flew to the city square and paid 110 Earth Mage Fire Mana Stones.

Just like before, many were still skeptical as they hadn't been able to see Lawrend's Fire Disintegration spell turn the Phoenix Strike spell to ashes. They only noticed the battle in the sky after it was too late.

"Is that all?" Lawrend asked a few minutes later.

The seats were more packed than before. Compared to before, when they were relaxed, these people were focused on Lawrend.

"Alright. Since that is the case, I will start. Don't worry. The thing I'm about to do won't hurt anyone."

Lawrend opened his hand, and trails of flames flew to those that paid the correct amount. These flames stopped just outside of their ears.

"Can you hear me?" Lawrend asked.

"Yes," they responded in unison.

"Huh?"

A man who hadn't paid enough looked at the people around him in confusion. They seemingly said 'Yes' without any reason why.

Lawrend smirked after hearing their reply. He used his fire magic to create trails of plasma for his lightning magic to travel to and deliver his voice to them. It was a simple trick for him because of his strong soul.

"Woah!"

Many of those that received Lawrend's magic communication were flabbergasted as they realized what he just did. They immediately felt better about the payment they gave him. His display of his skills in magic was a testament to his abilities.

"For starters, how do we change the world? Do we do it with our minds? Or do we need to use our bodies?

"Every action you take changes the world. When we lift a heavy object, we change the world around us by moving that heavy object. Magic is similar. We use it to change the world around us, but it is superior compared to using our hands and feet.

"Magic is what separates mortal and immortal. As Earth Mages, our lifespans might as well be immortal to mortals that only have a hundred years lifespan at most."
