Gauss looked at the crowd blocking the doorway in front of him, then turned to Lawrence.
His eyes were filled with confusion.
If he remembered correctly, Lawrence was supposed to have gone to help him arrange for some spellcaster apprentices to train with him.
How had he ended up bringing so many people?
Surely they weren't here to start a group brawl? Well, a group beating up one person.
"Uh, everyone heard that you wanted to train your protection magic, so they were all very enthusiastic and volunteered to come over and see if there was anything they could help with." Lawrence chuckled.
He had been a little depressed just now, after all. Even after using all his strength, he still couldn't break through Gauss's defenses.
But these people had come of their own accord. That had nothing to do with him.
At most, he had mentioned a few times that Gauss's protection magic was quite impressive, and the other apprentices' eyes had immediately lit up one after another.
After all, who didn't like a spell dummy that gave good attack feedback?
The defensive feedback from striking someone protected by a magical force field couldn't compare with the experience of hitting a training dummy or other props.
There were relatively few apprentices who learned protection cantrips compared with other spellcaster apprentices.
Moreover, many protection cantrips couldn't withstand much punishment, so finding a suitable "dummy" wasn't easy in itself.
"I'll go first."
A male apprentice squeezed out of the crowd.
"The cantrip I know is Electric Claw. Please be careful."
The male apprentice spoke politely, but his movements during the actual training were extremely rough.
Without much preparation, he activated the cantrip. Blue lightning wrapped around his palm, and he swung his hand toward Gauss. Blue electricity streamed from his fingers.
