Chapter 15 - Field Practice

Walking out into an open field only half a day from the mansion stood Asmo and Izzy, the two of them came far out to practice in secret. "This should be far enough, anything you do out here can be hidden easily." "Why do you hide the fact you teach me runic magic so much, you make me use code words when you think others are near as well. I have to burn every paper I practice on and I can't keep any notes, Isn't this adding unnecessary challenges to study." "One day you will understand, for now just follow what I have to say. Anyway we didn't come all the way out here just to blabber, lets see how far you got in practical terms."

Putting his hand on the ground Asmo drew the rune he wanted to try most, the dirt golem. Shooting up from the ground and launching Asmo into the air, the square shaped golem was rapidly made. "You didn't even add a timer rune, it just shot up underneath you. Next time put a timer rune and stop rushing at everything!" Landing in mud he was embarrassed that he forgot the most basic rule of drawing runes underneath himself, always add a timer rune. Looking toward his golem he saw it was shaped like a bunch of blocks and was already falling apart. "Why is it like that?" "You failed to draw the rune for golem and it came out wrong shaped and with it quickly dying. You only have experience with drawing runes on paper, you need practical experience that is why the rune is so wrong."

After that they spent the entire day practicing, only returning to the mansion once it hit sunset. All signs they were on the field were destroyed by Izzy, she made quick work of returning the field to its previous state using her runic magic. Izzy had picked that field years ago but she was finally done drawing a massive illusion rune on the field. It was activated when she used her mental magic, it would prevent others from seeing into the field
