Supreme Magus novel Chapter 3500

"Thank you, sweetie." Menadion bear-hugged Solus. "You have no idea how much your words mean to me. Obligatory question, do you want me to spoon-feed you Creation Magic’s secrets or just explain the basic principles?"

"As I said in the past, I’d like to follow Faluel’s teaching method." Lith replied.

"Great, because otherwise a single lesson would have been enough and it’s been a long time since I had the pleasure of teaching to talented apprentices. I want to savor this moment." Menadion nodded.

"What do you mean, a single lesson?" Lith furrowed his brows. "Solus and I still struggle with tier four Creation Magic and are nowhere near tier five. Even if we were both geniuses, it should take at least one lesson per tier of magic."

"You are wrong, Lith." Menadion tutted while shaking her finger under his nose. "The good kind of wrong, though. I was there during Salaark’s demonstrations of Creation Magic. I’ve seen you two practice and develop it your own way.

"I’ve even admired how you two got this close to all the answers you are still looking for about Creation Magic while you worked on your Void Magic. One lesson would be enough because you have already reached the level of mastery necessary for tier five Creation Magic.

"Your problem doesn’t lie in your talent or technique but in your limited understanding in a few key areas."

"Really?" Solus brimmed with enthusiasm.

"Really." Menadion replied. "I’ll be honest with you. I bet that if Sally gave you a couple of lessons instead of several practical demonstrations, you would have completed Creation Magic long before my return.

"You wouldn’t have mastered it yet, but that’s just a matter of time and practice. Which is the reason I haven’t mastered it either. I’m just one level above you since I’ve been focusing on learning modern magic.

"There’s no point developing spells with outdated techniques. I’ll start working on mastering Creation Magic once I’m done with Lochra’s and Yaga’s lessons."

"If you haven’t mastered it and you don’t know modern runes, how are you going to teach us?" Lith asked. Stay updated via freewebnovel.com

"With a series of exercises that will allow you to identify the aspects of Creation Magic in which you are still lacking and fix the issue yourselves." Ripha replied. "We indeed use different runes and albeit complete, my Creation Magic is inferior to yours, but they work in the same way.

"The flaws that keep you and Solus from understanding Creation Magic enough to develop tier five spells lie in your foundations. Once you realize your mistakes, the rest should come naturally to you."

"What?" Lith and Solus said in unison while exchanging a puzzled look. "Our foundations are flawed?"

"Gods." Menadion sat down, covering her face with her hands. "I’ve seen this countless times yet it’s still as upsetting as the first. Has anyone ever told you that using the plural while talking as one is creepy?"

"Yeah, we hear that often." They replied.

"I know." Ripha grunted. "It was a rhetorical question. Now sit down and let’s start your lesson."

She conjured two chairs and desks for them and an enchanted blackboard for herself.

"Let’s begin by clearing my opening statement. Think about it. How did you practice learning the tier one Creation Magic spell, Dismantle?"

"First, we studied the recording of Grandma using it." Solus said and Menadion nodded for her to continue. "Then, after failing countless times to Dismantle the simplest of artifacts we could buy, we switched to our own creations."

"Exactly." Menadion stopped her. "You have supplanted understanding with knowing. You studied the materials before and after the Forgemastering process to know the precise structure they had in their unaltered state and to which they had to return.
