"Hahaha, just kidding, brother Blake. You should have seen your face from a few moments ago." A silence had fallen by the time Ragna had said before that, but he had quickly cleared things up after teasing Blake a bit. "Don't worry about the bed, I have just the right thing necessary to solve that little problem."
And taking the small backpack that he carried with him, Ragna took out something that would be impossible to fit inside it, making it understood that it was also an object with spatial magic, although that had already been made quite clear when Blake saw how Ragna took out a lot of food from it.
What Ragna had brought out was actually a sleeping bag, there wouldn't be much to mention about it... But this one was quite peculiar. Although in truth its shape was that of a sleeping bag, it seemed to be made of iron, it was undeniable since the color and design it had, in addition to the rivets on it made it unique. Ragna spread it out on the ground as he smiled and expected Blake's surprised expression.
"I know what you're thinking, brother Blake, but let me tell you that despite the way it looks, my sleeping bag is even more comfortable than my own bed, which is why I often use it instead." Blake was not very convinced of those words, and Ragna wanted to show him the wonders of his sleeping bag, so after a few minutes, he was able to make Blake get into the bag to prove that what he said was true. "Well?
Blake felt like his body was being totally embraced at that moment, even though he wasn't sure at first, now he had to agree with Ragna, just when he had entered he began to experience a comfort that he had never felt. The sleeping bag was unbelievably soft and quality enough that it was hard to feel even the slightest icy breeze, even making Blake accept that his bed paled in comparison, too, but he only enjoyed that for a few moments before stepping outside.
"I must say it was a big surprise, so I guess the only problem was solved, although if you prefer, you can use the bed while I use the sleeping bag, you are my guest after all."
"No, I'll let you take the bed, brother Blake. I'm pretty used to my sleeping bag, but I appreciate the intent." It seemed like that would be the end of the day after making that clear, but Ragna had more to say. "By the way, brother Blake. Your house is very special."
"Yeah, it's not every day you see a tree that has a house inside it and a farm under it." Blake wasn't surprised by Ragna's comment, but that was not what he meant.
"Yes, that is also quite unique and amazing, but what I want to say is that the amount of runes that accumulate inside the tree is quite large, it is a perfect place to practice the runic path, but especially, the runes of the element life are the ones that are most present, it's not just because I have an affinity with the life element, but I'm sure that if I practiced in this place I could even break a new level in less than a month." Blake listened carefully to what Ragna wanted to say, he had already felt all of that, but now he had more knowledge of the runes compared to the past and understood what Ragna meant.
"If you think so, I wouldn't mind if you practice as long as you think it might help you." Blake wanted to be nice to Ragna, but he quickly dismissed that.
"No, no. I wouldn't want to take advantage of your kindness, brother Blake. Besides, all these runes are also very useful for you, if I start absorbing too many then it will take a while for them to return to their original amount, which may also affect the growth of your crops, I don't want to cause trouble for you." Ragna had given his opinion and nothing would change his mind. "So I don't dare do it."
"Well… If that's your decision, I'll respect it, but seriously, I don't mind if you want to use the place to practice a bit. Think of this as an apology for blatantly stealing your runic abilities." Blake said that thinking of what he had done before, he believed that it would convince Ragna, but it seemed that the boy was quite stubborn.
"It's not necessary either! It's clear that your talent for comprehending runic abilities is something beyond my imagination, I can't blame you for using my runic abilities, on the contrary, I'm glad I'm not the only one who can appreciate how cool they are, hahaha!" You could tell that Ragna's laugh was quite honest after he said those words. "By the way, brother Blake. Can you tell me exactly how you do it?"
That question wasn't very clear, but Blake didn't have to think long to know what he meant.
"Well... If I had to explain it in a way... Just when I see a runic ability, it seems to repeat itself in my head an infinity of times, gradually allowing me to understand the mysteries behind it and to be able to use it." Blake explained the simplest way he could think of since the option of explaining to Ragna about the existence of the system never crossed his mind.
"Hmm… I see, I really can't fully understand it, but if you say so it must be true. In my case, I created those two runic abilities myself based on my elemental affinity, I spent a whole year developing each of them with the idea I had in mind, I also relied on my master's knowledge to achieve the ideal result, so I was obviously surprised with the ease with which you were able to learn them." Ragna kept expressing what was on his mind, he also kept asking Blake more questions related to the feeling he had while using them or other things related to his runic abilities, until a question came to his mind and he couldn't help but ask. "During our fight I couldn't figure it out, what exactly is your elemental affinity, brother Blake?"
Blake stopped for a moment after hearing that, now he didn't have a good excuse, but he was already aware that he couldn't answer with the truth, so he only had to lie, but before he did anything, something else caught his attention.
"Poof!" And hearing that sound, Blake realized that Ragna's body had suddenly fallen backward. He was going to see if something had happened to him, but just at that moment, his sword quickly materialized in his hands, blocking the attack that was going directly to his neck causing a small spark to illuminate the place even more.
