Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2920

Chapter 2920 Not Normal (Part 4)

When the babies were lonely, Shargein would bring them to the subject of their desire. Solus had added him to the apprentice list in the tower's mainframe so that the Wyrmling knew where everyone was at all times and could Warp straight to them.

"Bad Shargein. Bad! Keep sneaking behind me and I'm going to put a bell around your neck." Lith rushed to cover the blueprints of the DoLoreans when the Wyrmling brought Valeron to him.

The baby boy often felt the need to check on Lith and make sure he was alright.

'Dragon Eyes are supposed to be useless here since Shargein lacks the basics of Forgemastering, Light Mastery, and dimensional magic, but being the son of two Guardians, better safe than sorry.' Lith thought.

The Wyrmling snorted at Lith, sending two big puffs of smoke in his face. Lith was about to return the favor when he remembered that despite his size, Shargein was younger than Valeron.

"You are lucky to be so cute, or I would not teach you a lesson." Lith poked the Wyrmling's snout before taking the baby boy and handing Shargein "The Basics of Magic" book by Lochra Silverwing.

Valeron cooed happily as Lith rocked the baby in his arms while the Wyrmling opened the book at a random page and then started to turn it around, trying to make sense of it.

"What are… you can't read!" Lith snapped his fingers as Shargein glared at him in annoyance for stating the obvious. "Grandma, can I teach him or is it too dangerous?"

"Excellent question." Salaark took a break from her paperwork to ponder the dilemma. "On the one hand, sooner or later he's going to learn anyway. On the other, I'm afraid of what he could do."

She looked at Shargein as he turned the pages, rotated the book, and raked his brain in the attempt to crack its mystery. Then, he noticed her gaze and chirped at Salaark with what Lith assumed was a begging tone.

"You are right, I can't teach you responsibility without giving you something to be responsible for. Yet remember your promise. No magic and no Accumulation without my permission. Are we clear?" She asked and Shargein nodded, wagging his tail in excitement.

She handed him an alphabet book with illustrations depicting several objects of common use for each letter. The Wyrmling flipped through the pages like it was a restaurant's menu, finishing it in seconds.

He took the Basics of Magic, holding it the right way, but chirped again at the foreword.

"That's the author's name. It's not supposed to make sense, just like my name or yours." Salaark explained.

Shargein nodded and resumed reading chirping again just a few seconds later.

"Here." She handed him a vocabulary that he flipped until he found the unknown word.

Shargein went back and forth between books until he got sick of it. He focused on the dictionary, flipping through its pages in a few minutes before starting again.

"What is he doing?" Lith pointed at the Wyrmling who was turning the pages faster and faster until he reached the end and opened it back on the first page.

"Memorizing the dictionary. Repetition is the mother of learning." The Guardian replied.

"Are you serious?" Lith was flabbergasted.

In less than five minutes Shargein had read the thick book ten times and was now moving on to the Basics of Magic. This time he read it from top to bottom without breaks and it took him less than a minute
