Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1010

Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010 - Taming Crystals - 3

Ren knew nothing of these early conversations between the girls.

What he knew later was that when he finally gathered himself to say something to Luna about the promised date, the thing they had both been circling around with increasing obvious awareness... Larissa and Liora had interrupted and asked him to wait until the day after treating Selphira and Victor. He had been confused...

But Luna had exhaled with visible relief and nodded.

Ren had looked at all three of them.

All three of them had produced exactly the same exaggerated smile.

Ren had decided it was better not to press the matter and that the moment would arrive when it arrived.

Maybe it was better... Let future Ren take care of it, as always with this ’too complex’ line of business.

Victor had insisted that Selphira be treated first.

There had been no significant debate about this. Victor had simply stated it with the same flat certainty he used when he had decided something and would wait indefinitely for everyone else to catch up, and nobody in the room had found a counter-argument they believed could change his stubborn mind.

Selphira’s room was large, not by preference but by operational necessity. The dozen healers maintaining her stability needed room to work. The mana system and vitality monitoring artifacts installed in the days immediately after the battle required specific positions relative to each other and to the bed.

The protocol developed for managing the pain of a person whose internal organs were functioning at approximately half capacity while the rest of her body remained partially crystallized needed margin to respond to changes that were constant and required the same constant adjustment. The room had been organized around all of these requirements simultaneously, and the result was functional rather than comfortable.

Despite all of it, Selphira looked calm.

Not the calm of someone who didn’t understand what was happening to them. The calm of someone who had processed it, reached an understanding with it, and decided that the understanding was sufficient and that the situation wasn’t worth putting a difficult face on.

The Selphira who had waited this week was recognizably the same Selphira who had stood in the ruins with the crystallization advancing up her arm and declined to stop pushing because Victor was behind her and that was simply how it was.

This wasn’t Ren’s first visit since waking. They had spoken three times in the last week, at different points in the day and with different levels of clarity depending on where Selphira was in the treatment cycle, but the constant had been the same across all three: when Ren explained what he had observed and what he intended to attempt, she listened with the attention of someone evaluating a technical analysis, and at the end she said, with the calm of someone who didn’t have much to lose by betting on something that wasn’t guaranteed:

"When you’re ready."

Today Ren was the first visit of the morning. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Behind him, and now arranged in the margins of the room just like the slightly ashamed people they were, many arranged themselves since they were determined to be present and were, at least, trying to take up the minimum space necessary.

They were his parents, who had been keeping themselves extra quiet because they still couldn’t quite process where they were or the scale of what their son had become in a span of time that should not have been sufficient for it.

Larissa, Liora and Luna too. Julius and Arturo, who had recovered thanks to Ren using an ’easier’ procedure like the one for Zhao, were there too.
