Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 157

Chapter 157: “…”
Amelia: “…”

Riya rubbed her nose when she saw Amelia’s look.

What could she say?

One of the basic requirement to become a rune master was to have strong mana control. So from the very beginning, Riya’s talent in this area was very strong. This allowed her to become a powerful rune master in a very short period of time.

“Just try it first. I’ll teach you the method for lightning element later.”

“Why not now?”

“I’m afraid you’ll burn down the entire backyard.”

Amelia: “…”

In the end, Amelia could only obediently listen to Riya and continued her practice while Riya stayed for a while before going back to rest.

…

It was night time when Amelia finally ran out of mana and didn’t want to meditate anymore. She felt that this training was really difficult. After a few hours of practice, she only managed to make sure the leaves didn’t fall but it was hard to make them stay in the same height.

These leaves still like to ‘run away.’

“Who taught you this?” Samuel asked when he saw the leaves on his sister’s hand. He had some guesses about what Amelia was doing.

“Riya.” Amelia looked at her brother. “Brother, is it really possible to suspend these leaves in the air with wind element without moving them at all.”

Samuel was silent for a moment and then silently pointed to the leaves in front of him, lifting a few of them and then suspend them above his hand. Just like Riya, these leaves didn’t move at all and remained stable.

Amelia: “…”

She suspect these two people were cheating!

Samuel had wind element, so Amelia dared to ask this. But she didn’t expect that her brother’s skills to be so good.

“It’s not really a good idea to change it to leaves.” Samuel looked at the leaves in front of him and knew that the difficulty for this control training was really low. In that world, he had dedicated training equipment for various mana control, so Samuel was not entirely sure what to replace it with.

Moreover, his two siblings and other magic warriors were only at rank 1. Since they have just started their path as magic warriors, the requirement for mana control was not very high.

It was not that easy to do this either.

Now that Amelia was using the leaves, Samuel tried it but found that the effectivity was not as good as those practice tools in his family.

“Why?” Amelia asked in confusion.

“It’s too easy.” Samuel shook his head.

Amelia: “…” can I kick you two?

She felt that her brother was more irritating than Riya. She was already very frustrated when she heard Riya said that she managed to do this within a few minutes and now her brother also said that this was very easy.

Can’t they give way to those who were less talented?

Samuel could see his sister’s resentment but pretended that he saw nothing.

“It’s better to use some hair or feathers. It’ll be more difficult for training…”

“Brother, I can’t even control the leaves well and if you ask me to use feathers that can easily fly away with just a small gust of wind, I’ll never finish my practice,” Amelia interrupted with annoyance.

Using feathers?

She felt that she might not be able to finish her practice until the year of the monkey.

Samuel looked at his sister and sighed.

His sister’s talent was leaning towards warrior than mage, which was why he guided her to become a magic warrior. On the other hand, Sean’s talent was leaning towards mage more than towards warrior, but he didn’t know whether Sean’s talent was good enough to let him become pure mage.

After all, Samuel was a magic warrior.

“Alright, you practice first. Tell Sean about this practice and let him also practice with you. Whoever finish first, I’ll give personal guidance.”

Amelia: “…”

Personal guidance?

Thinking about how harsh Samuel’s training back then, Amelia felt great resistance. She didn’t want to train under her brother. It would be better for her to train under Riya instead.

“And the one who finish later will be punished to do more work outside,” Samuel added when he saw his sister’s expression.

Amelia quickly took more leaves to train.

Samuel shook his head and then remembered that Sean’s element was not wind but lightning. The mana control training was different and there were no tools that could be used like how it used to be.

As for replacement….

Samuel was not sure what to use as the replacement.

Should he ask Riya?

With that in mind, Samuel made his way to Riya’s room.

…

After giving instruction to Amelia, RIya went back to her room and meditated for a bit before carving another talisman. This time, she made a rank 4 talisman and successfully emptied all of her mana in one go.

Riya could only go back and meditated once again to recover her mana.

‘I should prepare the paper puppet.’

With that, Riya went back to her world and started to make another paper puppet to take care of the farm. And once it was done, her mana run out once more.

This made Riya sigh.

One of the best way to practice was to consume their mana and then meditated. Because after that, their mana would increase. This increase was very small but it was still an increase nevertheless.

Over time, this small increase would become a big increase.

Riya stretched her body.

She was very patient and knew that it would take a long time for her to reach rank 5. During this period of time, she had to prepare many things for herself and also crease more talisman.

‘Hmm, where should I find paper?’

Riya noticed that she didn’t stack that much paper and it seemed that she should go out and find some next time.

Knock! Knock!

“Yes?”

“This is Samuel. I want to talk about something with you,” Samuel’s voice came from outside the door.

“Come in.”
