Lana watched as Tron vanished through the gates and gritted her teeth in frustration.
"What a callous guy. But I'd rather than give a random stranger than be forced to submit the rune."
With that, she vanished and appeared before Tron like a faded smoke being reversed.
The fellow students who were near the door quickly scattered like ants whose queen were killed by a random Loli.
Tron wasn't surprised and simply behaved as though he had no idea who she was.
Just as he had turned to face another direction, he suddenly heard her speak.
"I-I will give you the rune glyph you want."
Suddenly, the entire world seemed to turn quiet and even the students who were moving in and out of the hall and passing through the Rune gate paused their steps and turned their gazes directly towards one direction.
Their gazes pierced through Tron's body like needles and Tron felt as though he had been stabbed by hundreds of invisible needles.
If looks could kill, Hell wouldn't be able to find his spirit to accept!
"Who is this guy?"
"Daring to actually accept the Runic Glyph from Lana, this guy really wish to die young."
"Seven who dated to do so we're all indirectly killed by Sylas Darkrune this youth definitely has the balls of steel!"
Hearing the words of the spectators entering his ears, Tron's eyes twitched slightly. It seems that if he dared to accept the glyph, he would likely be offending someone really influential. Maybe even more influential than Xavier's brother — Valtor.
However, Tron simply sneered. The more his enemies are, the more damage points he would farm and the stronger he would become.
Turning around, he stared at Lana with a piercing gaze.
"You could have started with that from the beginning."
The young lady rolled her eyes cutely and her eyelashes fluttered as she harrumphed.
"Follow me." As she said this, she turned and headed back into the, ignoring the looks from the other students.
Tron chuckled in response and followed her.
A minute and seventeen seconds later. The both of them arrived at the room she had purchased in advance and settled in the room.
"The materials for the Blink Rune are expensive and really difficult to gather. I will write you a list of what to get. However, gathering the materials isn't the most difficult part, it's the process. The rune is made up of seven different high-grade basic runes, merged together to barely form the Blink rune. The body and the mind aren't prepared to withstand such torture without sufficient arcane energy to protect them."
"Therefore until you become a Rank one magus, I won't be able to inscribe the rune. "
Tron frowned at her words. "So not today?"
"Slow down tiger, the more we rush things, the more unstable the rune would be, and then 'poof' the arcane glyphs rupture and you become crippled. Moreover, you're simply a new student. There's no way you can gather the materials quickly anyway. They are simply too rare and expensive to acquire."
She kept quiet and waited for the words to sink into Tron's head.
He wasn't worried about his body being unable to handle the engraving process and was pretty sure he would soon reach the rank of a true magus with his body alone.
With that, he was even more guaranteed to succeed on his first try. However, he didn't expect he wouldn't be able to get his hands on the Blink rune soon.
However, he wasn't truly disappointed. The Blink rune was an unexpected surprise and wasn't part of his plans today.
He watched as Lana turned towards the laboratory table. Her hands flickered through various equipment as she began preparing the items for the rune-graving process.
"Since you came here, it means you have a rune blueprint you wish to engrave. Show me the rune you wish to engrave "
Tron nodded obediently and brought out an old patch of dried beast skin with some strange engravings on them.
Lana's eyes lit up the moment she saw them. She grabbed the piece of beast skin and skimmed through the runes on the skin with focused concentration.
Suddenly, her brows furrowed as she looked even more and then relaxed as though she figured something out but then she would appear confused and then let out a 'ah' sound of realization.
Looking at her face giving off various expressions Tron couldn't help but admit that she was truly one of the prettiest ladies he had ever seen since coming to this world.
While Seithra had a more mature countenance and Magus Daphne had a cold and authoritative demeanor, Lana was fiery and hot but at the same time, she gave off a feeling of an old master at their craft, truly focused on the schematic.
"Sigh, truly interesting. I didn't there were people who could still use the old techniques to write a Basic rune. It truly is an eye-opener." Lana mumbled with admiration.
She then turned towards Tron and asked. "Where did you say you got the rune from?"
"I never said where I got it from." Tron's eyes narrowed and he replied cautiously.
"Tch! Miser."
She mumbled and then turned towards the shelf, picking up several vials filled with different liquids and solutions of various colors.
"The rune is related to blood and there's something about forming a blade which basically means it's a Blood Blade Spell."
"Blood magic is truly rare and very difficult to master which is why people never use it. But not only did this person master it but they actually managed to engrave uh t on a beast's skin. This person is a true master."
Lana sighed in admiration it'd been a long time since she had seen something this precise.
"Did you get this from some secret dimension?"
"Even if I did, I wouldn't want to leak it, would I?"
Lana paused but nodded her head with a hint of frustration in her voice.
"Alright, alright. You know you don't have to be very cautious with me. Your Rune-smith is as close to you as your lover, if not closer."
