“Master, there’s something you need to know about,” Ember said and walked forward.
“What is it?” Lawrend responded.
“The Ignis Clan is inviting us to join the Young Generation Competition next year.”
“Oh!”
Lawrend’s interest was piqued. He motioned for her to come closer.
“An Earth Mage envoy came. He gave me a letter and then another one for you.”
Ember passed him a letter at the end of her words. Lawrend took it, and he opened it.
Inside it was a paper so white it almost blinded his eyes. He unfolded the letter and the contents in it were written with a majestic red color.
—————————
Dear Lawrend Ignis,
We have heard about your children. The Council of Elders has decided to invite you to join next year’s Young Generation Competition. If your children participate, the Ancestors will be watching. The reward will be a chance for your children to accept the bloodline of the Ignis through the Ancestral Blood Pool.
Hopefully, your children live up to our expectations. We will be choosing several candidates to compete against the two other great clans. We will be waiting for your arrival on the date we gave to your fiancee Ember Ignis.
Sincerely,
The Council of Elders,
Ignis Clan

Lawrend closed the letter and looked at Ember with furrowed eyebrows.
“Is the Ancestral Blood Pool what I think it is?” Lawrend asked her.
“Yes, Master. I heard you met the Third Ancestor through the one in the Rubrignis Clan.”
“I suppose it’s not a bad idea. Even if they didn’t give my children any reward, I would have come. It’s a great opportunity for them to gain experience,” Lawrend replied.
“I thought so, Master. But what about Inferno? They will be surely expecting him.”
“Don’t worry. I will teach him well.” Lawrend smiled at her and didn’t elaborate any further.
In Lawrend’s mind, he could feel that Inferno would win this competition. The little kid was made after he became an Earth Mage. It would be odd for him to lose to his sisters and brothers.
Ember nodded her head and walked back.
“It’s time for me to check on your magics. I want to see how well each of you had done,” Lawrend said as he stared at the group of his maids.
“What do we do, Master?” Aleshia asked.
“Just walk forward. I will use my eyes to see for myself.”
“As per your request, Master.” Aleshia bowed and walked forward.
Aleshia wore a black cloak with a black mask tied to her waist. Her black hair was tied to a bun and she looked like what one would imagine an assassin to be.
She was already an Arch Mage.
“Congratulations. You did well. What kind of reward do you want?” Lawrend asked.
“I want a date!” Aleshia requested with a smile on her face.
“I will make some time for you.” Lawrend nodded his head.
The next one to walk over was none other than Aleshia’s little sister. The current Ella looked maturer compared to the first time Lawrend met her. She confidently smiled at him as she walked over.
“I won against my Big Sister, Master,” Ella said proudly.
She wore a cincture, a rope-like fabric, around her waist. It added a cute charm to her already cute appearance.
“Congratulations on becoming a Grand Mage and defeating your Big Sister,” Lawrend replied with a slight smile on his face.
He was still unnerved whenever he met this little girl. She was too young, but she already harbored feelings for him. It was unusual and it made Lawrend think that he groomed her, which he didn’t by the way.
“Thank you, Master. I will marry you as soon as I become an adult, ‘kay?” Ella asked with a cheery smile.
“Sure.” Lawrend nodded his head.
It felt uncomfortable to be hit on by her, but he had already decided to let her do as she liked. By the time she becomes an adult, if she still harbored feelings for him, he would try to develop his feelings for her and marry her too.
“Hmph. I will make you love me just like Big Sister…” Ella muttered under her breath as she walked back to the group.
It was now Lawrend’s slime maid’s turn.
“Master, can you help me become an Earth Mage?”
“Do you want that to be your reward or what?” Lawrend asked, staring at her figure.
Her bluish-purple hair stood out, especially with the confident smile on her face. She was only second to Ember when it came to talent.
“Hehehe. Can’t you spoil me, Master?” Elena asked and cutely blinked her eyes.
“Anything for you.”
Lawrend was a simple man. When one of his maids begged cutely, he would surely do what they were asking for.
“Hehe.”
Elena walked away with a satisfied smile.
“Fufufu. I want you to visit the Demon World with me, Master,” Aezel said without waiting for him to ask her.
“You’re unruly now that you’re equivalent to an Earth Mage?” Lawrend retorted with a slight smile.
“Fufu. You promised me we will visit the Demon World long ago, but you have never accomplished it. I want to take this chance to pressure you more.”
She covered her mouth as she chuckled. Without her horns, she looked less intimidating and more beautiful.
“We will visit once we’re done with the competitions for the kids,” Lawrend replied.
“I will be waiting for that, Master,” Aezel said and walked back.
Humility stepped forward and raised her head high.
“Master, I have an excuse.”
Before Lawrend could say anything, Humility already stopped him.
“Go on.”
“I’m very busy. I don’t have any time to practice my magic. Can I assign the work to my assistant? I do think she will be a great replacement for me,” Humility said.
“I permit it. You’re still a High Mage. You need to work hard since even your son has surpassed you,” Lawrend replied.
“Ughh… You don’t have to remind me about that.”
Humility’s cheeks twitched after hearing his words. Her pride as his maid got hurt.
