Runemaster in the Last Days - Chapter 233

Chapter 233: Thank You, but I Don’t Feel Comforted at All
Riya also nodded when she heard Samuel’s explanation. It seemed that this man was not completely clueless about this, which was a good thing.

Then again, his education should also be higher than her in that world.

Thinking about this, Riya sighed deeply.

If it was possible, Riya really wanted to have such a background so that she would be able to explore more precious runes and formation.

“I see.” Ruben nodded after hearing the explanation.

“Oh right, these are the runes.” Riya took the three bundles of paper that she had prepared before and handed it to Samuel. “You can read while we head there.”

“Let me also see it.”

In this way, Samuel and Ruben looked at the formation that Riya drawn and the first thing that crossed their minds were, ‘So complicated.’

The second thing, ‘So these are runes?’

Then, they started to read the first page and after a few seconds, Samuel lowered the paper in his hand. “Do you think it’s possible for other to replicate it?”

He had seen the simple purification formation that Riya drawn.

And the word simple… was truly not worth it.

How could those densely packed runes be called simple?

If Riya were to know what Samuel was thinking, she would show him the advance formation and let him see how much more complicated those runes were. There were even some overlap in many areas in advance formation, which if they were to draw the sequence wrongly, the formation would not be able to run.

Those were indeed the simple formation.

“Yes,” Riya replied. “I learned to draw that formation within a week’s time.”

Riya didn’t remember the exact time, but it should be within a week after she was introduced to runes and formation. Because she could only learn for a limited amount of time, Riya had to squeeze her time as much as possible and try to memorize everything quickly.

In that way, she managed to draw the formation within a week’s time.

Samuel: “…”

Ruben: “…”

The easy going tone that Riya used made many people felt that they have lived a worthless life.

Riya glanced at them. “The first stage is actually to memorize the more than 10,000 runes but if I were to give it to you… I don’t think that anyone will be able to finish memorizing those within a year’s time.”

10,000 runes?

Ruben wanted to kneel at this time.

“Damn! How did you memorize them all?” Ruben wanted to cry when he heard that.

“…Just memorize it,” Riya replied and rolled her eyes. She only memorized half of them first when she started drawing talisman and formation. After all, she has to hurry or she would waste her money in that world.

But she has powerful memorization ability for some reasons and these runes looked very easy to remember.

In the end, Riya managed to finish all the lesson in time and become a powerful rune master in a short period of time.

Otherwise, four years would truly not be enough to allow her to contend with the top powerhouses for the world treasure.

The rest of the 5000 runes were memorized within the next month as she learned more runes in depth. Her study was rushing and once all the basic theoretical knowledge was instilled into her mind, what left was practice.

Practice, selling the talisman, buying more materials, made more talisman, and so on.

The cycle repeated for a long period of time and the rank of the talisman increased with time until she reached that stage.

“Is it possible?” Ruben looked at Riya with deep suspicion. He often heard that he was called genius and smart person when he was young. But now… he felt that he was nothing more than a scumbag if he compared himself with Riya.

Riya glanced at Ruben and nodded. There was a living example right in front of him, so of course it was possible.

Ruben: “…”

“You’re a monster,” Ruben murmured under his breath, feeling that he had wasted his entire life for a moment.

Riya looked at Ruben with amusement and said, “People who have talent to be rune master will feel familiarity from the very moment they see the runes. Even if they can’t understand it right away, memorizing it will feel easy.”

Ruben: “…” Thank you, but I don’t feel comforted at all.

Samuel heard Riya’s words and nodded imperceptibly. This was something that his elders also told him in that world.

That if he had some talents in runes, he would feel that memorizing them are easy. But despite his high talent in various other areas, he always felt headache when he saw those swirling runes.

It was as if the runes were not letting him understand them.

Because of this, the elders knew that he had no talent in runes and didn’t force him to study them.

“Alright, just study this one.” Riya pointed to the paper that she had handed over to Samuel. “It should be enough for most rank 1 magicians to learn and if they have talent to become rune master, they should be able to learn it within a week’s time.”

A week’s time?

The two of them looked at each other as if wondering whether Riya’s words were correct or not.

Samuel knew that it was true but there were not many magicians in the first place. And without mana, it was hard for them to practice this in the first place.

“Can magic warrior also learn it?”

“As long as their mana is sufficient, there shouldn’t be any problem.” Riya thought for a moment and then said, “Making one small stone formation only require around a fifth of a rank 1 magician’s mana, so they should be able to learn it but their mana might be stretched thin.”

Ruben: “…” wait, the mana of magician was that much?

He looked at Riya up and down, wondering whether she truly has that much mana.

Bang!

“Stop looking like that.”
