"I’ll teach you the first three stages," Samuel said and then added, "But for the subsequent rank, you will have to work hard to get the resources on your own to exchange for it."
Ruben nodded solemnly and then looked at Riya with a grin. "I’ll reach rank 4 as soon as possible, Master!"
"…You should focus on practicing first." Riya shook her head helplessly.
Having such a disciple…
Wait, Ruben is even older than her, right?
But seeing him jumping around happily like a child, Riya suddenly felt that she had accepted a child as a disciple.
*sigh*
Forget it.
She would just see how it is later.
Afterwards, Riya took out paper and drew 100 runes. She handed it over to Ruben to let him memorize it first and try to draw it on a paper in the future. Once he infused mana into it, these runes should give him the basic response.
Such as, turning into fire, water, or any other element.
Some of them would not give any direct response because the function was different, but there would be sign when he drew it successfully.
If he fail…
Well, most of the time there wouldn’t be any response.
But at some occasion, it might explode.
"Explode?" Ruben was stunned when he heard this. "Does the profession of a rune master so dangerous?"
"Unless you draw so crookedly, I doubt that you can trigger the explosion," Riya replied calmly.
"Ah…"
Ruben looked at the paper in front of him, suddenly felt unsure.
"Try it first and I’ll check after coming back from the crack."
"Yes!"
"Tomorrow you come with us to practice," Samuel added. "Even if you want to switch your meditation technique, your physical training can’t be left behind."
Ruben’s smile froze when he heard Samuel’s words. He looked at his friend with a bitter look and asked, "Can I not participate?"
"No!"
"Ahhhh!"
…
Before going to rest, Riya came to Samuel to ask to see the trees saplings that he had planted in the special plots for the researchers.
She originally wanted to ask this after they had exterminated the rat some time ago, but she forgot because of Peter’s arrival and the magic beast’s tide that followed afterwards.
The trees in her space has been accelerated so that it would grow up faster but it was still far from ready right now. She wanted to see the progress of the tree in the special plot that Samuel mentioned before.
After all, she had paid a lot of contribution points to use it.
Riya froze for a moment. freewёbnoνel.com
The only one who could understand a bit was Sophia since she came from similar study. But since the study was still different, it was not complete.
So when Samuel suggested asking to Ruby…
"Why not?" Samuel asked back.
"…You can try to ask her." Riya smiled and didn’t answer.

The two of them headed to the research institute and then Samuel brought her to the greenhouse area of the research institute. There were many plots here and there were names on each of them.
"Two floors are used as greenhouse. One of them is for vegetables and the likes while the other one is for trees," Samuel said as they walked inside and finally stopped in front of one of the plot. "This is yours."
Riya saw that her name was written there and there were a few trees inside. Those were the trees that Riya asked from Amelia back then.
Some of them were planted here while the rest were in her world.
So far, the trees hadn’t grown up much.
It was still saplings.
"It might take two or three years for the tree to grow," Samuel said slowly. Most trees would take a long time to grow and could be used. For this species, it required two to three years.
Moreover, the soil has been mixed with mana, which would allow the trees to grow with mana.
It was pretty good.
Riya looked at the glass that separated each plot and then looked at Samuel. "Does the mana concentration is made differently?"
