Runemaster in the Last Days

After all, Ciera still had to take care of her image.

No matter how she hated Mrs. Thompson, she could not be the first one to make a move unless she wanted to make trouble for herself.

But Mr. Thompson would not buy her 'kind' expression.

He knew what kind of girl she is.

After glancing at Ciera for a moment, he helped his wife and his son was following behind him quietly.

Some people were still talking to them and pointed in their direction, but no one dared to step forward.

'I have to go back too.' Ciera patted her clothes and her eyes landed on Mrs. Thompson's son's thoughtfully.

Half siblings should be quite similar to some degrees, right?

Even though there were some differences in some details, but it was not impossible for it to match.

Well, they were not related by blood, but it might work?

Ciera's eyes flickered with calculation.

…

Riya's side

To be honest, Riya really wanted to use magic to shut those people up and then leave. But the regulation stated that people with power should not use it against ordinary people.

Riya also felt that this regulation make senses.

And she didn't want to be the one to actively break the rule.

'Just think that you're unlucky.'

Riya snorted and then walked to the wall. She looked at the wall that was built and after walking around for a while to inspect the size and position, she started to draw the runes.

The magic beasts' blood was taken out in a big bottle and then Riya used her magic to draw them out as she draw on the wall. Her speed was very fast and within seconds, the entire wall has been drawn formation in blood.

The moment the formation was completed, the blood red color started to fade until it disappeared completely.

Riya looked at the clean wall in satisfaction.

In this way, this part of the city would be part of the main formation too.

Her work is done.

Riya looked at the wall once more and then slowly made her way back. She saw that the crowd had dismissed and through the conversation of these people, she found out that Mr. Thompson had come to pick his wife up.

Well, it seemed that the two people were still together.

No matter how much Mrs. Thompson made trouble, Mr. Thompson would still side with her and took care of her.

Could it be said that it's love.

"You already have a family on your own… so please stop bothering me," Riya whispered in a low voice and then walked back to the inner area.

It seemed that she should avoid going to the outer areas so as not to meet these people again. Thankfully, City A Base's expansion plan would be going slowly in the future because the increase of population wouldn't be so high.

After all, there were no more refugee out there who hadn't joined base or made a base on their own.

There wouldn't be many people coming to City A Base anymore.

City A Base also slowed down the expansion plan and focused on the road building and other facilities that were necessary for the city.

It was a good thing.

At least, to a certain degree.

Riya slowly made her way back to the Jones Family Residence and saw Ruben, who was waiting for her.

To be honest, it does feel strange to have a student that was older than her in the beginning. But after a while, Riya felt that she had gotten used to it. Anyway, this might be like the time when they were in college and their teachers were not that much older from them.

Well… at least, some of them.

"Did you have any question for the runes again?" Riya asked as the two of them walked into the Jones Family Residence.

"Ah, yes." Ruben scratched the back of his head. "Is it possible for me to start learning rank 3 magic scrolls?"

In the past year, Ruben had personally experienced how beautiful it is for him to learn under Riya. Because he had to suffer from memorizing so many runes and then put them into practice.

For his own practice, he had to use up almost all of his salary as Samuel's assistant in City A Base to buy the necessary supplies. After that, he had to hunt the magic beasts on his own to get their blood.

After all, it was too expensive to buy the blood from the base directly.

And in the past year, Riya has basically determined which species was the best for making runes and which was not that good. There were even magic element's differentiation, which meant that for some magic beasts, their blood could only be used for specific formation.

Because some formation used specific element and it was impossible for them to randomly use other element's magic beasts' blood to finish the formation.

Ruben was learning vigorously under Riya and really felt tired.

But Riya only felt that Ruben was learning very little.

After all, she has a lot of information when she first started learning runes and formation in the past.

Then again, there were many things that were different in the Green Planet, so Riya had to adjust the information first.

Otherwise, the amount of information that Ruben had to study every day would be ten fold of what Riya had given him so far.

"You want to start making rank 3 magic scrolls?" Riya asked back in surprise. "How's your rank 2 magic scrolls' practice?"

"It's going well, teacher." Ruben quickly took out the few magic scrolls that he had made according to Riya's teaching.

When Riya and Samuel were heading into the crack, it was basically impossible for him to ask guidance from Riya at that time.

But when Riya came back, Ruben would definitely come to see her.

"Let me see…"

Riya unfurled the paper and looked at the formations that Ruben had drawn. Compared to last year, the runes he made now looked much better.
