Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 95 - The Mysterious Man

"Y-Yeah."

The examiner nodded his head awkwardly. Aleshia's sudden outburst surprised him.

"That's great…"

Tears brimmed in Aleshia's eyes once again. She can finally become stronger and protect Lawrend… But Lawrend's situation was still unknown. Remembering this, worry appeared on her face.

"It's okay, Big Sister."

Ella went over to Aleshia and rubbed her back. Aleshia nodded her head at Ella. She felt at ease now.

The examiner couldn't help but look at her in confusion. He glanced at Olgar but seeing that he wasn't saying anything, he didn't think much of it.

"Next, test your mana capacity and mana purity."

The examiner urged Aleshia. Hearing his words, Aleshia wiped the tears on her face using her wrists.

"Yes."

She nodded her head.

She then tested her mana capacity and mana purity. It came out as 0 for both as she never ever cast a magic spell. The mana was still dormant inside her body.

"Your turn."

The examiner looked at Elena.

"Okay-buzu."

Elena nodded her head and proceeded to do the same.

"W-What is this!?"

The examiner looked at the ruler in Elena's hand. The light stopped at the number 25 for her mana capacity test.

"Buzu?"

Elena tilted her head at the examiner.

"You're almost a High Mage!"

The examiner exclaimed to her. A High Mage would have stopped at 31 or greater, yet she is already at 25. This little girl in front of him is a demon!

"Of course-buzu."

Elena rolled her eyes at the examiner. She's a slime. Naturally, she has more mana capacity than normal humans.

"Crazy! Sir High Mage, are you seeing this!?"

The examiner turned to Olgar in disbelief. Seeing that the examiner would not believe it, Olgar opened his mouth.

"I'm seeing it."

He replied calmly.

"W-Wow."

The examiner was shocked at Olgar's calmness. It was like this wasn't a big thing to him.

The reason why Olgar didn't react in surprise was that he already imagined such a result. After all, Elena could instantly kill those forest wolves before.

"N-Next."

The examiner urged Elena in a stutter.

"Buzu~"

Elena nodded her head. She placed her hand over the crystal ball and poured her mana into it.

Colorful light and powerful lightning appeared inside the crystal ball. It swirled around before slowly turning opaque with the color red. The color then slowly shifted until it was orange.

"You're a True Mage!?"

This time, the examiner was even more shocked. Elena just tested to be a True Mage. His belief that magic needs to be learned for a long time before becoming a True Mage was broken.

"True Mage?"

Elena was surprised. Even she herself didn't know at what level her strength lay, so hearing that she was a True Mage surprised her.

"She's a prodigy!"

The examiner shouted. By this time, the other mages had already noticed the commotion. They walked towards them in curiosity.

"A prodigy? Really?"

The crowd wondered out loud.

"Finish this already."

Olgar couldn't help but say to the examiner. They had already attracted quite a crowd. It would become more troublesome the longer this takes.

"Y-Yes, Sir!"

The examiner nodded respectfully. He was still shaken by Elena's results as he urged Ella on.

"You already know what to do right?"

The examiner asked Ella.

"Yes."

Ella nodded her head innocently. She then grabbed the Mana Resonating Stone.

The crowd watched in anticipation. Even Olgar was curious as to what kind of magic Ella would be capable of practicing.

A minute passed, nothing happened.

2 minutes.

3 minutes.

All the way until 5 minutes.

"Alright. That's enough time. You aren't capable of practicing magic."

The examiner patted Ella on the head to console her.

But just as the examiner was about to take the Mana Resonating Stone from her. It suddenly floated into the air when Ella released her grip on it.

The moment the Mana Resonating Stone floated in the air, everyone suddenly froze. Not because of shock, but because a powerful pressure froze them all in place.

Even Olgar couldn't resist it. He tried to move his head, but it was like he was frozen in a block of ice.

"Hmmm… Space Magic. Interesting..."

A man's voice echoed through the surroundings.

The only exception was Ella. She turned her head and looked above. A violet-cloaked man was floating in the air. He had a healthy fit body and a fair handsome face. Meanwhile, his clothes swayed majestically with the wind.

"What's your name?"

He asked Ella.

"Ella."

She replied in confusion.

"Alright, Ella. Do you want to become a powerful mage?"

The violet-cloaked man asked her.

"Y-Yes!"

Ella replied in a stutter. She remembered her big sister's desire to become stronger. She wanted to help her by becoming stronger herself.

"You are still young. I'll give you time. Master your magic to the True Mage level and appear before me. I will take you as my disciple."

The man spoke to her solemnly.

"Okay!"

Ella nodded her head innocently.

"Take this. Give it to your friends and enroll in the Undrasil Mage Academy."

The mysterious man threw three medallions into Ella's hand. The medallions floated down to her hand slowly. She caught and examined them.

Each medallion was 12 cm in size and gold in color. There was a carving in front of it that looked like a bird with a beautiful crown on top of its head. They were thick and heavy. Ella could barely carry them.

"Huh, I can move!"

Olgar suddenly exclaimed in shock. He turned his head and looked towards the mysterious man.

"I-I can move too."

Aleshia said out loud in surprise.

"Buzu!"

Elena moved and also turned her head towards the man.

"Remember, do not spread this event. Otherwise, I, Verkoli Grey, will personally wipe you out from existence."

The man warned them overbearingly. With a blur, he disappeared from the sky.

Suddenly, all of the mages around them fell to the ground unconscious.

Only Olgar, Aleshia, Ella, and Ellen were still standing.

"A-Another Grand Mage!"

Olgar exclaimed in shock. This was the first time in his life that he had seen two Grand Mages in a day. Their power was so domineering. The mana around their bodies froze and locked them in place.
