Chapter 4382: Crippled Potential (Part 2)

Faluel also asked him for permission to teach the first dimensional rune to others and obtained the same answer.

"Dammit, you are right, Master Tezka." Faluel sighed. "I guess you won’t teach us how to apply dimensional crystals to enchantments, correct?"

"Nailed it in one." The Suneater gave her a thumbs up. "I’m done here. If you have any questions, speak now or wait until Filia and Frey come to play with the Verhen’s kids again."

"I have many questions, but not the kind you’d answer." The Hydra replied. "Gods, I have so much to do ahead of me that I need a vacation. First, I have to relearn dimensional magic from scratch.

"Then, I have to practice with my spatial awareness, or I’ll be a dimensional mage in name only. Lastly, I have to start researching a way to apply dimensional crystals to my Forgemastery."

"We can do it together, Master Faluel. After a long shower, though." Friya sniffed her clothes, wrinkling her nose at her own pungent smell. "And maybe that vacation."

There were still a few hours left before dinner when they returned to the Verhen Mansion. Friya and Faluel had a bit of energy left from their training, and showering allowed them to recover some more.

Master and Harbinger decided to take the rest of the day off, but while Friya could afford to spend some quality time with her loved ones, Faluel had family obligations to attend.

Not only did she have to inform Fyrwal of her breakthrough in dimensional magic, but she also had to be briefed about the recent events in the Beast Council.

During the past few days, Fyrwal had managed the Council business in the Distar Region in Faluel’s stead, allowing her daughter to focus on her training. Now that Faluel was done, however, she had to resume her duties as the regional lord.

"I didn’t expect to see you so soon." Fyrwal was in her true form, that of a seven-headed Hydra 25 meters (82’) tall. "Either your dimensional magic lessons went much better than I expected or they were so difficult that you gave up. Which is it?"

Each head of the Hydra had its own pile of paperwork and work communication amulet, dealing with a different matter and all the people related to it.

"I succeeded, Mother." Faluel extended her human hand and turned the white crystal it held purple.

At that sight, the many documents floating in the air fell to the ground, and the multiple conference calls ended abruptly as Fyrwal’s seven heads turned to stare at her daughter in Dragon Greed.

"I always knew you could do it, baby girl!" The Hydra trampled over her desks and coiled her necks around Faluel in a gentle embrace. "I am so proud of you."

"Is it because you believed in me that you asked me if I had given up, Mother?" Faluel clicked her tongue. "I’d also appreciate more joy and less Dragon Greed. It’s people like you that give Hydras a bad name."

"How can you say that to your mother?" Fyrwal roared in outrage.

"Mom, you haven’t looked at me once." Faluel snorted. "You kept your eyes on your paperwork when I entered your office only to stare at the dimensional crystal once I crafted it. Look."

The younger Hydra moved the purple crystal up, down, left, and right, and Fyrwal’s seven heads followed it like a dog presented with a tasty treat.
