"I never said no." Faluel shook her head. "Let’s call it a maybe. I’ll take you in and treat you as my Harbinger, but I’ll not perform the ritual. I expect loyalty and sincerity from you. Consider it probation. You can quit and I can kick you out anytime.

"Yet beware. If by the time I make my decision you have yet to show the proper resolve a Harbinger requires, I might be forced to kill you. I can’t give off my secrets for free, so the more you learn from me, the greater the danger you are in."

"Thank you, Faluel. I will not let you down." Friya gave her a deep bow, smiling from ear to ear.

"Don’t thank me, thank Lith. I gave a lot of thought to the speech he gave in front of the Council and I think he is right. They can’t blame him for finding talented people.

"If the Council really wants to widen the gap with fake mages, we Awakened need to learn how to work together as our competition does instead of quarreling all the time." Faluel said while the Ernas sisters and Solus stared at Lith.

"Consider my humble abode as an Awakened academy, but with more strict rules and no sex. Fail me and you get expelled, killed, or worse. We’ll work day and night because I’ve more important things to do than waste years teaching you lot.

"The non-Awakened must work until they faint while the Awakened must use Invigoration until it stops working. Only then will you be allowed to take a break. Are we clear?" Faluel’s words made them all swallow a lump of saliva.

More than an academy, it sounded like a dignified prison camp.

"Am I interrupting something?" Nalrond asked.

"Child, you’re on time, which means you’re late. Always arrive early in sign of respect for my time, got it?" Faluel said.

"Yes, sorry master Faluel." He gave her a deep bow.

"What do you mean, master Faluel?" Lith asked.

"Just like your human friend here, Nalrond was impressed by my procedure to save Rena’s child and has offered me a deal. He’ll teach me Light Mastery and in exchange, I’ll teach him Healing Magic. As simple as that." Faluel said.

"Now, before we start, let me evaluate your level so that I can tailor fit your individual lessons."

The Hydra used Invigoration on one of them at a time, taking a few notes when necessary. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

"Nalrond, your two cores grant you double the mana, but you can only use one life force at a time. To avoid getting injured during your apprenticeship, you must train both your bodies and switch between them often, otherwise the mana flow might kill you." The Rezar looked at his thin limbs in embarrassment.

Having the body of an Emperor Beast had always made physical exercise look like a waste of time to him.

"Phloria, I have no idea how Lith managed to make you survive Awakening, but your body is a mess. It was refined from the red core to the blue in one go, making it highly unstable.

"The process didn’t give your body the time to adapt to your new mana flow. You are akin to a weapon that has been forged but it’s still being tempered. Put too much strain on it and the weapon will break.
