"Well, okay."
Even though Arnold and Ruben were confused why Riya wanted them to advance to rank 7 as soon as possible, they believed that Riya wouldn't harm them.
Besides, Riya is not a demonic magician like Dina who would absorb other people's mana and so on.
Instead, she's a proper rune master who followed normal magician's meditation technique.
Those who have known her for a long time naturally knew that Riya is definitely trustworthy.
In this way, Samuel helped Arnold to advance to rank 7.
Arnold could actually advance at any moment given by his current condition, so Samuel only gave him more resources which helped Arnold to advance.
On the other hand, Riya helped Ruben to advance to rank 7 and engraved the runes inside his heart. Since Ruben should have spent more time to advance to rank 7 and she helped him to accelerate it, Ruben's improvement for the next few months would slow down considerably.
But he still managed to advance to rank 7.
"What is that formation?"
"Time and talent acceleration runes," Riya replied. "This is something that only rank 9 rune master can pull but you usually need to specialize in space to use it expertly. I only know a little bit, so I can't help you much."
Thankfully, it's enough to let Ruben reached the condition where he could advance to rank 7.
Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult.
"What side effect does it have?" Ruben asked curiously as he moved his hand. He felt that he was feeling much better than before, but he was not absolutely sure about it.
For such a formation or runes with such heaven defying effect to help people advance quickly, Ruben didn't believe that there wouldn't be side effect.
This was one of the few things that Riya taught to him.
There would be a balance in the runes and even when forming formation, one had to pay close attention to the balance.
The slightest bit of mistake could cost them a lot.
And it was something that they would not see happening.
"I'm basically accelerating the progress you should have in the next few months into a short few minutes, so your progress in the future for at least a few months will be slower," Riya explained. "But you should not slack off in your practice."
Ruben nodded. "I understand."
Even knowing that his training might be affected, Ruben didn't actually feel that much and instead thought that Riya was really good to him. For her to suddenly come to them, he had guessed that Riya should be busy for a long time in the future.
Perhaps there wouldn't be time for her to help him.
So Ruben didn't mind that much.
Being stronger is much better.
And after Riya saw his plan for the runes engraving, she helped to modify and perfect it, even teaching him how to do it.
