Lecturing

" The elven kingdom shows might and power that would place it at 4th in the hierarchy I've made. They are very advanced and complicated in their use of magic. The elves don't welcome many other races except for the dwarves and some other species. Their deep relationship with the dwarves started because of their lack of crafting skills. They mostly avoid conflict with other races, but they will unleash their wrath if provoked enough. They are around 1000 kilometers away from us. They live very close to the forest as it is their main hunting grounds." Akari summarizes as she didn't want to make the same mistake again. Locke could just read some of the books she had after this to further his knowledge.

Locke took in all the information like a sponge. He was learning some interesting things while also being able to peek at Akari as she carelessly moved around. Everything he was looking at was engraved in his mind forever. He was getting 2 birds with one stone as you may call it.

" The 3rd strongest kingdom is the dwarven kingdom. Their background is self-explanatory since we just went over it. They aren't much stronger than the elven kingdom, they just excel at different things. The 2nd strongest kingdom is the Desora kingdom. They host primarily all races but having slaves isn't uncommon. The strongest kingdom or should I say empire on this continent is the valley kingdom. They have a very powerful military that could easily take out any kingdom. The good news is that they are very far away from other kingdoms, moving out troops would easily alert others. Their empire composes of 4 kingdoms that are ruled over one supreme emperor."

Locke nods and asks Akari a question, " You've talked a lot about this continent we're on. What about the other continents around the world?"

Akari scratches her head, " Ahaha you see, I don't know much about the other continents except for one." Locke's eyes dim in dismay but relit again, " What would that one other continent be?"

The one other continent I know of is entirely ruled over by dragons. Other than that, they don't do much. They stick to themselves and don't meddle with affairs by lesser beings."

Akari continues as she goes on for hours about everything. She took multiple weeks to finally explain everything Locke had needed. They could now start the physical training that Locke has been waiting for.

Locke obediently sits on his four legs as she looks at Akari waiting for instructions. Akari seems as though she is ready, " I'll start by teaching you how to make a personal spacial dimension. It will require some affinity to space, but I'm sure it will work out for you. I just need to use this space crystal to see if you've got what it takes. Just put your mana into it and you're done."

Locke nods as he touches the stone and ours his mana inside of it. The stone shines a bright purple that signified he had an affinity to space.

"Let's see... This is great! You have an A rank affinity with space. This is more than enough to create a spacial dimension." Akari says in surprise. " Ok, I'll need you to follow my instructions thoroughly. What you want to do is use a portion of your mana and think of opening a hole that leads to an empty place."

Locke nods as he concentrates on imagining exactly that. He focused intensely as you could slowly see a small hole open up. Locke imagined the hole was the size of his hand, he could freely take anything in or out of it. The hole opened up even bigger as it perfectly represented what Locke wanted to happen. He tried to put his hand through it, but it closed immediately.

" I'll help you master the ability enough so that you don't struggle," Akari says cheerfully as she was having fun. Weeks passed as Akari tortured Locke until he fully understood how to use the Inner Dimension. Her methods were very effective and heavily improved Locke's abilities.

POV(*UNKOWN*)

================================

Tarions angrily smashes his quill on the desk as ink splattered on his hand. The adventurers that had taken the quest have been missing for over a month now. There have been no words of where they are, it could only be assumed they are dead. He wanted to personally go and find that monster who had wasted him so much time. His work as the guild's advisor stopped him from leaving and taking care of the monster himself. The only way he could attract a high level A rank party is if he were to sacrifice a lot of his money. Just doing so may cost him at least 350 gold coins, about a month's paycheck from the world guild. He sighed as he thought of not pursuing it anymore, he couldn't mend his relationship with the prince anymore. He was about to grab another quill until someone entered his office unannounced. He was about to kick them out until he saw the person's face. It was the summoned hero named Shin. He was the most persistent in leveling up, he managed to dwarf his peers in a short amount of time. He had already reached level 4000 while most of his peers were just breaking through 2000. He could already defeat someone at level 5000 with no problem. His growth was insane and unheard of anywhere before. While Tarion was stronger than Shin, he knew he shouldn't mess with the heroes.

Tarion swallowed his pride and welcomed Shin. " What may I be of service to you, hero." Shin looks at Tarion confidently and smirks, " I heard you've been having trouble with a rogue monster. I'll help you take care of it if you let me have its corpse." Tarion thought hard before he made his final decision, " Alright, I'll let you have the monster if you can kill it. I can't pay you any gold though, I hope that's ok with you." Shin nods in satisfaction, " That's fine, I won't be needing any gold from you." He walks out of the door and leaves.

Tarion sighs as he quickly goes back to work. He had a mountain of paper he had to sign and go through.
