Say, while you're here...I'd like to use this device I designed to determine whether the power of a Crest resides within you. Won't hurt a bit. Promise.

You don't know about Crests? Well, allow me to tell you everything—absolutely everything—about them. Is your calendar clear? This will take a while.

Crests are a fascinating topic, but before one can dive deeply into said topic, one must first understand what Crests are. They are power incarnate.

They are said to have been bestowed upon humans by the goddess countless ages ago. They exist within the flesh, and are passed down through bloodlines.

Those who carry Crests may excel at magic, display exceptional strength, or any number of boons.

Each Crest has its own power, the nature of which is beyond mortal understanding. For now.

And you believe I have a Crest?
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I suspect as much, yes. But we won't know for sure unless I look into the matter.

Hanneman

As I said, Crests are passed down through the blood.

However, just because someone carries a Crest does not necessarily mean their descendants will inherit it as well.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Only a scarce few descendants of a Crest's bloodline end up inheriting that Crest's power.
link
Hanneman

Perhaps one of your ancestors bore a Crest, and you just happened to inherit it.
link
Hanneman

That is how a Crest usually presents itself, after all.

Yes, of course. I'll get to the bottom of it straight away.

I most strongly disagree! There absolutely is a need. My Crest research is of critical importance to the church, I'll have you know.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Since you are now a professor here, I must insist that you aid in my research.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Of course...there are those who lack the foresight to aid in my endeavors, such as that stubborn Seteth. But such individuals are the rare exception.

Hanneman

Now then, please go ahead and hold out your arm over this device here.
link
Hanneman

What is this?!
link
Hanneman
volume_up

A pattern I've never seen before... Is it possible an as-yet undiscovered Crest has been detected?
link
Hanneman
volume_up

To think there are still Crests out there that even I am unaware of! How thrilling!
link
Hanneman
volume_up

Ahem... Pardon my unrestrained jubilation. I have much to consider. You may leave now.
link
Hanneman
volume_up

I have more research to do in regard to this Crest. Yes, so very much more research. But for now, your work here is done.
link
Hanneman

Hmm... What could this line here be indicating? Perhaps it represents a lack of symmetry... or perhaps...
link
Hanneman

What in the world? Oh, I see... It may be connected to that, but to a greater degree than usual...
