Chapter 52: A genius or a fool?
Lena flinched every time Rhys glanced in her direction. To her, a normal person looked like a calm, clear image.
But when she looked at Rhys, she saw a raging, swirling vortex of pure chaos. He was the most unpredictable and dangerous thing she had ever seen.
She was even more scared when she heard the Elder’s next words.
"Rhys," the Elder said. "Lena has been my student for a long time. Now, you will learn alongside her."
Lena looked up, her face pale. She had to learn with this monster? Her eyes momentarily locked with that bottomless pit of chaos and she hurriedly looked away.
Elder Solon looked at Rhys, his ancient eyes holding a mix of curiosity and deep doubt.
"You are too brave. Two days? It even takes ten days to draw a formation."
Rhys shrugged, his mind wandering during the talk with the System. He was not bragging when he said he needed only two days to learn about formations from the Elder.
In truth, he could learn in one day if the Elder was capable of giving him a non-stop class. After all, he had the System.
The reason he wanted the Elder’s teaching was because his knowledge of formations was vague, as he had learned it on his own.
He had mastered the basics in Greenleaf Town, but that was like learning to write letters. What Solon knew was like writing a grand novel.
Sure, with the System’s help, he could absorb any knowledge instantly. But the System could not create knowledge from nothing. It needed a source.
