Chapter 237: Edgar’s Wish
Lumi giggled teasingly,
[You’re just excited to see Nyss and Arya again, aren’t you, Master. (≧◡≦)]
Orion laughed softly, shaking his head. ’I wonder how they would react if I told them I learned Runesmithing during this time. I also managed to craft a Tier 1 sword yesterday.’
[Yes, Master! But then Grandma Selene requested you for it. You didn’t even hesitate to give it away! She seemed very pleased too!]
Lumi replied brightly.
Orion smiled warmly, recalling Selene’s proud expression when he’d presented the flawless Tier 1 blade to her. ’She probably wanted it as a keepsake to mark my progress. And if Grandma wants it, how could I possibly refuse?’
The carriage rolled smoothly onward, and Orion turned his thoughts to the present day. ’Today marks the end of Vice Dean Hargan’s test.’
[Ah, yes! The one where everyone must successfully create their Affinity Rune within a month. But Master finished it so quickly—just within a few days! It felt like you barely started and were already done!]
Lumi exclaimed excitedly, pride clear in her cheerful voice.
Orion chuckled softly, ’Well, that’s because it was me. For most students, forming an Affinity Rune for the first time is genuinely difficult. Even Elias took such a long time, and he’s one of the best in our batch.’
He gazed thoughtfully through the carriage window, imagining the atmosphere that would soon envelop the academy. ’I wonder how many will fail and be eliminated today...’
