Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Mana Control Questions
The moment Samuel walked in, he felt that the mana concentration in the room was a bit higher than outside. Even though Samuel’s magic talent was not the highest, he was still sensitive enough to sense this.

This made Samuel recall the time when he was staying in Amelia and Riya’s dormitory room.

At that time, the mana concentration in the room was definitely higher than the mana concentration outside. He thought that it was a coincidence but now, he was more inclined to think that this was Riya’s masterpiece.

‘Is it other runes or formation?’

Rune master and formation master were usually interlinked. Many rune master also learned formation and vice versa. It was just that their main profession was the one that they used the most and from Riya, it seemed to be rune master.

But Samuel didn’t care too much.

Riya raised her head and looked at Samuel. Seeing him looking around for a moment, Riya’s heart skipped a beat.

He couldn’t have found out about her formation, right?

After a moment, Riya sighed deeply. It seemed that she would not be able to hide anything in front of Samuel and his family members. Now that she was staying in their family, she should just hide that world and part of her capabilities.

Slowly but surely, it would be exposed.

Unless she never used it in her entire life, it would be impossible for her to keep hiding for the rest of her lives.

The markings for runes and so on were very still very obvious.

“Senior Samuel,” Riya called out.

Samuel nodded and stopped a few steps in front of Riya. “I would like to ask you something.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know any method for mana control training that replaced magic tools?” Samuel asked straightforwardly.

He didn’t know if Riya knew any magic tools, but Samuel knew that mana control training for various elements were different. The best way for them to train was to use the specialized tool.

But there was no such tool in this world.

Magic tools?

Riya’s expression turned strange.

To be honest, those magic tools used to practice mana control was strictly controlled and only the people from big family could use it. In that world, Riya had seen those tools but never used it in her entire life.

Because she was not qualified…

When RIya thought about this, she sighed deeply.

There were time when she was a bit jealous. But at the same time, Riya also knew that she didn’t really need it. Her talent for mana control was outrageous and it didn’t take long for her to have precise mana control for all elements.

So Riya never needed them.

“I’m not sure what magic tool you meant. I have never used any magic tools and only use ordinary items for training,” Riya said slowly.

Samuel’s eyes lit up. “Can you teach me?”

Teach him?

Riya looked at Samuel blankly. Even if he had to start over in this world, his mana control should have been the same as before, right? After all, mana control required their active control through their mental state and mana.

They all might have started over in this world, but some things would carry over.

He only needed to train a bit to increase his sensitivity and brought his ability to the peak once more.

As for mana…

That was accumulation.

There was no easy shortcut.

“What element do you want to learn?” Riya finally asked.

Samuel thought for a moment and then replied, “Fire, lightning, earth, and light element.”

“Light element? You have light element?”

“No, not me.” Samuel shook his head. “Is it convenient?”

“Well, it’s not that difficult.” Riya sighed and then took out a thin metal plate. “For fire element, I use metal plate and an egg or you can also use other food. Simple held this on your hand and then heat it to cook for fire. You have to control the heat degree so that the food would not burn or remain uncooked. Slowly, you’ll master how to control the fire well.”

Samuel: “…”

He looked at the thin metal plate and realized that the thinner the plate, the more they have to control the flame. Not only to make sure that they didn’t burn the food but also to make sure they didn’t damage the plate.

It seemed simple but it was actually difficult.

“I see.” Samuel looked thoughtful.

Riya looked at Samuel bitterly.

For many ordinary people, they would have to come up with something to hone their own mana control without relying on those magic tools. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to catch up for their entire life.

“As for lightning…” Riya took out a light bulb and held it on her hand. The light bulb lit up, sometimes brighter and sometimes dimmer. “By controlling your electricity, you can use it for this. Of course, you better start with something of higher voltage… otherwise, you might risk exploding the light bulb.”

Some smaller light bulb, such as the one used for children experiment in elementary high school had very small voltage. If they used that directly, Riya was sure that they might explode it directly.

To be honest, the lightning element training in that world was different.

But it was more convenient to use this light bulb rather than using that method. After all, the technology in that world and here was different.

“Next, earth element.” Riya took out some water and held it on her hand. When the water was about to seep out, there was a small container made out of earth that blocked it. “Earth absorb water and your task was to perfectly block the water while doing various activities, such as putting your hand above fire or something like that. Maintaining the same thing for an extended period of time could be said to be very difficult.”

“Of course, you can also use the earth as clay too. Forming various difficult shapes until you’re used to it.”

With that, several dolls made out of earth appeared on Riya’s hand. Everything was as easy as flipping one’s hand as if there was no need to exert any effort.
