Combat Maid Harem

"Please explain to me first why you want me to be an elite member of the Mage Guild? I'm just a Beginner Mage."

Lawrend asked the guild master seriously. He didn't think that he would get it for free.

"You are similar to Grand Mage Bask Light. He also had a greater mana purity than he should have. If you didn't know, a Grand Mage is above the Arch Mage. Meaning, he was someone that could hold the roof of a kingdom."

The guild master explained to Lawrend. He was expecting that Lawrend would also become a Grand Mage just like Bask Light so he was willing to offer him benefits.

"In other words, you want my loyalty?"

Lawrend could guess what his words implied. If he accepted these benefits now, he couldn't ignore the orders of the Mage Guild anymore. For Lawrend, that was something that would go against his plans for the future.

"Yes. This makes things easier now that you said it. Though, you don't have to worry. The Mage Guild will not order you around like a dog. We only want your help if the time comes that the Mage Guild is in trouble."

The guild master grinned after hearing Lawrend's words. He eased Lawrend's worries by informing him that what he would do once he accepted his offer was really simple.

"That's… a really good offer."

Lawrend couldn't say no after hearing such a good offer. There was no way that the Mage Guild would ever get in trouble. It was a Guild that covers the whole continent after all. He would basically be getting the benefits for free.

"What do you say?"

The guild master rested his arms on the desk and moved his face closer to Lawrend's.

"I agree."

Lawrend nodded his head without any suspense. He was sure that he was the one winning here.

"Great! By the way, your response was recorded using this Seeking Crystal Ball."

The guild master tapped the crystal ball that was sitting on the desk this whole time. It was capable of recording the motions in a 3d space around it.

"I understand."

Lawrend nodded his head. This was a way for the Guild Master to make sure that Lawrend would follow through with the deal. Otherwise, he would have evidence to use against him in the future.

"Here's your Mage Guild pin. If you want, we have uniforms that you can wear."

The guild master passed Lawrend a pin. It was similar to the one the receptionist from earlier was wearing, but there were some key differences. First, this pin was blue in color, while the pin the receptionist was wearing was white. Second, there was a star diagram at the center of the magic circle.

"That pin will tell others that you are an Elite Member of the guild. It also includes what mage you are. For example, that magic circle on your pin has 8 sides. One side of it was highlighted. That tells you that you are a Beginner Mage. As for me, look at it."

The guild master explained to Lawrend in detail. He pulled out the pin on his cloak and showed it to Lawrend with a smug smile on his face.

"4! You're an Arch Mage!"

Lawrend exclaimed in shock. There were 4 sides highlighted on his pin. This man in front of him is a true bigshot. His power could easily destroy this city with a single spell.

"Hehe, cool, right? Aim for at least something like this."

The guild master smiled at Lawrend. Lawrend was aware that there was a Beginner Mage, Mage/True Mage, High Mage, Arch Mage, and lastly, Grand Mage. Their powers are much greater than the ones before them and they could tyrannize very easily.

For example, just a single Grand Mage could decimate a whole kingdom. They were the true powerhouses that rule the kingdoms.

"I won't disappoint you."

Lawrend nodded his head solemnly. Being motivated by an Arch Mage made Lawrend more determined to grow stronger. Not just to create a Maid Harem, but to become one of the elites.

"That's good. I will not take any more of your time. Since it's already late, you can take any books you want from the library. Just make sure to return it."

The guild master nodded in satisfaction. Lawrend would surely become a Grand Mage in the future as long as he doesn't die. That's why he was being kind and respectful to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have even glanced at him due to his shitty strength.

"Thank you. Then we'll take our leave."

Lawrend bowed slightly before bidding his farewell. Aleshia tailed him from behind.

"We can give you a blood contract if you don't trust your maid."

The guild master added just as they were about to leave the office. Lawrend turned around and pulled Aleshia's waist.

"No thanks. As you can see, I trust her."

Lawrend was hugging Aleshia's waist as he stood by the doorway. The guild master was taken aback by Lawrend's actions before laughing out loud.

"AHAHAHAHA! Certainly, youngsters like you should enjoy their prime life."

There was amusement on the guild master's face. He found Lawrend's actions amusing.

"Very well."

Lawrend left and closed the door.

Meanwhile, Aleshia was blushing red. She couldn't help but open her mouth to complain.

"Young Master, what was that?"

Aleshia complained with a cute pout. Lawrend just suddenly embraced her out in the open.

"What? You don't like it?"

Lawrend blinked his eyes at her. She didn't resist earlier.

"I… Young Master, why are you bullying me! I still have my daggers on me."

Aleshia threatened. She pulled her skirt and showed Lawrend the dagger hidden under it.

"I'm joking. I'm joking."

Although Aleshia was acting pretty tame compared to before, Lawrend still sweated in nervousness. He raised his hands in front of him. He didn't know if she would actually do it.

"Hmph."

Aleshia snorted in reply. She was displeased.

"Let me get a book in the library and then we can return to the inn."

Lawrend informed her. They walked down the stairs from the 2nd-floor mezzanine. [Author's Note: mezzanine - an open floor, similar to a balcony, but inside the building.]
