Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4307

Chapter 4307: Talos (Part 1)

"So cool!" The kids said in unison before running to cheer on their respective parents. "Are you okay, Mom? Was Awakening painful?"

"I’m as good as new, kids." Rena hugged them in turns. " You have nothing to worry about. At our level, Awakening only stung a bit."

"Don’t be too hard on yourself, Senton." Selia patted his shoulder. "When Ryman Awakened me, I went from the deepest of red to barely red. I could use chore magic for almost ten seconds before wheezing like a bellows, yet here I am today."

The huntress released a strong green aura and conjured the Loop spell.

"If even someone disliked by mana like me can grow this strong and learn Dimensional Magic, you can do it too."

Truth be told, while Lith and the others had needed only a few lessons from Professor Rudd to complete the exercise spells and a few weeks to open their first Warp Steps, Selia had needed months to master the Loop spell.

She had little talent for magic and even less dimensional awareness, but constant practice and the lessons she received from Protector and now Friya allowed her to make slow but steady progress.

"How was Uncle Lith’s lesson?" Teryon asked.

"Is Awakening difficult?" Lenart added.

"Can you shoot fireballs, Mom?" Falco mimicked an explosion with his hands.

"It was interesting." Rena would have replied with ’boring’ if Solus’ warning wasn’t still ringing in her ears. "Awakening wasn’t easy, kids, but Grandpa Raaz beat us all to it."

"Really?" The children turned to look at Raaz in admiration. "Are you that talented, Grandpa?"

"Of course he is!" Aran replied. "He is my dad."

"It was nothing much." Raaz wasn’t used to receiving so much attention and laughed nervously. "Lith is an excellent teacher, and everyone Awakened almost at the same time."

"What about the fireballs, Mom?" Raaz’s answer disappointed the triplets, who went back to focusing on their parents.

"If you call this a fireball, then yes." Rena conjured a sphere of fire the size of an apple, making the kids groan at the bad joke.

The barrage of questions continued, asking the new Awakened how strong they had become and what the most powerful spell they could use was.

"Guys, it was one lesson." Lith raised an eyebrow. "Your parents never practiced anything beyond chore magic their whole lives. You can’t expect them to go straight to conjuring fireballs and maybe opening Steps. That kind of spell takes years of study."

"I can confirm." Kamila nodded while emitting a bright green aura. "Even with the best teachers and lots of free time, I have yet to learn how to Blink."

"It’s perfectly normal, Kami." Friya said. "Dimensional Magic is a complex discipline, and with a core like yours, you can’t use raw power to make up for any mistake you make.

"Mastering Warp Steps is already a great result. Blinking is considered the final test for a mage because it requires flawless tetra casting and perfect control over the elements."

At the end of the meal, after Jirni and Orion returned to their quarters, Lith announced his intentions to his friends and family.

"I’ve activated the Lodestar, so no one can access the tower for the next 48 hours. I’ll be gone from tomorrow afternoon until the evening of the following day. Baba Yaga, Elysia, and I will work on the Cursed runes.

"Please, find a plausible excuse with the others, and make sure your versions of the story match."
