Return of the Legendary Runesmith Chapter 142 141- Take help

It was her first day, so Adrian was going over the basics for Thalia—explaining what the second Thread was, why it's used, what benefits it gives, and what a Runesmith should watch out for when drawing it.

Thalia wasn't just listening closely—she was also jotting down every detail in her notepad, not wanting to miss or forget anything important.

"So yes, the second Thread helps improve mana efficiency by allowing magic to flow into weapons with as little waste as possible," Adrian finished, wrapping up his ten-minute explanation.

He looked toward the Princess and found her eyes on him.

But the mont their gazes t, she quickly looked away.

Strange… what's going on with her? Adrian wondered. Since the drama she caused in the past, Sylvie had kept her distance out of guilt. Her sudden interest in being near him now felt odd.

Is she just trying to distract herself? Adrian hoped that was all.

"Sir," Thalia spoke up, "if we talk in terms of percentages, how much less mana is used with a second-grade weapon?"

She knew mana couldn't be asured exactly but was curious to get a rough idea of what to expect if she improved a second-grade weapon properly.

Adrian thought for a mont, recalling what he'd seen in the past.

"Over thirty percent," he replied.

Sylvie's eyes widened in amazent, while Thalia gave a thoughtful nod. After a brief pause, she asked with a curious smile, "What about the armants you make?"

Adrian smiled back, hesitating for a mont before answering, "Around... ninety percent."

"…!"

"…"

Both girls were left speechless by the number. They wouldn't have believed it if they hadn't already seen a glimpse of what Adrian could do.

Ninety percent? That was like barely using mana at all. With that kind of efficiency, a person could cast spell after spell without ever running out of energy.

Thalia blinked and asked, "P-Professor… is it even possible for soone else to reach that level?"

Adrian let out a small chuckle. "I'm good, but I'm not the best. So yes, I believe soone out there can make even better armants—or soday, soone will."

Then, glancing at the teen, he added with a faint smile, "Even you might surpass ."

Thalia shrank back in her seat, "I don't believe that..."

"But I do." Adrian followed, his eyes holding honesty.

Thalia kept looking at him and her tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

Was...really there a possibility?

After that, Adrian taught her more about the second Thread without jumping on practical tuning right away. The class continued for two hours and not even once the two girls seed bored or tired. If anything, they seed disappointed when Adrian inford them that the class had finished.

As Adrian picked up his coat, Sylvie hesitantly approached him, "Umm...Professor."

"Only on one condition," Adrian spoke without turning to look at her.

Sylvie was baffled at the response, but she didn't speak and heard him, "If after three classes you can answer a few questions you can continue to attend the extra classes."

Sylvie's eyes brightened as she hurriedly responded, "Understood. I will do my best."

Not so long after Adrian made his way out of the workshop after the two left.

He first made his way to the common hall to get breakfast for himself and the sleeping beauty.

"Two basic breakfast sets and add a cheesecake to it." He asked the chef as he reached the counter.

While the food was getting prepared Adrian sat on the nearby table.

There were not many students around and those who were nearby greeted him politely.

Adrian smiled at them before his focus redirected to the system screen.

There were four people online at the mont.

And one of them was soone he hadn't interacted with before.

Scarlette: [Greetings, Runesmith.]

Adrian greeted back with a simple 'hello'.

Raven: [Oh my~Scarlette finally ca out of her hibernation~]

Adrian didn't know what he should make of that information. At least he got to know that Scarlette was a woman.

Scarlette: [With the current state of my world, hibernation never crossed my mind.]

She simply responded.

Dark Knight: [Situation over there is bad too?]

Asked the Knight for whom Adrian created an armant a few days ago.

Scarlette: [Yes. The situation is growing chaotic. It seems I must intervene before an unrecoverable damage is done.]

It seems the two worlds from where Dark Knight and Scarlette belong were at a stage of war.

Valor: [The movent of XXXX has been fierce on my side too. However, thanks to XXXX's support, I was able to contain the danger in ti.]

Adrian was confused by this ssage. Was either of the two censored words referred to him?

Raven: [Why are you so silent, dear? Do you wish to chat with in private?]

Again with her teasing. Well, it was good that Annabelle wasn't here.

Adrian responded, "I am just observing and trying to make sense out of things. From the way you all talk it appears you all hold quite a prominent position in your worlds."

There was a pause before soone said,

Valor: [It's apparent that you haven't unlocked even a fragnt of your mories.]

"..." Was he supposed to know this? Well, Adrian shared sothing that might interest them, "I recently had so flash of mories which creeped out...but I guess you all were right. I have yet to recover my mories."

The system didn't censor his words ant it was okay to talk about those flashes in his dreams to them.

Raven: [That sounds wonderful, Dear! Once you get to rember how many blissful monts we have spent together, you will instantly jump at ~]

"..." Adrian was now feeling blessed that Annabelle wasn't here.

After a brief pause, Scarlette stated,

[If it's stressing you out, you should reach out to soone you trust.]

Her words surprised him.

Valor: [Indeed. For soone who is hailed as the strongest warrior, I was trembling like a child and clung to my grandma when my mories returned to .]

Raven: [....sa goes for . I had my father.]

Dark Knight: [The burden must be imnse, XXXX. Don't shoulder everything on your own or you will lose your mind.]

Their warnings made him realize that he might have been overestimating himself.

Adrian couldn't stop thinking about the flashes he saw in his sleep. Only last night was peaceful when Ariana was in her arms.

And now...maybe he knows whom he can talk to about this.

"I am thankful for the advice."

No one responded imdiately.

After a brief pause, Adrian added, "If you have any request to make I will co online in a few hours."

Scarlette: [Now that you ntioned it, I do have a request.]

Adrian humd in questioning.

Scarlette: [I want you to make an artifact that can cool down a wide enclosed area, and if I can adjust the temperature, then it would be brilliant.]

Adrian thought for a mont before assenting, "Got it, I will ask you for details in a few hours."

[Understood.]

Once the chat got disconnected, Adrian went to pick the breakfast and thought about the only person who could help him make this artifact.

Elana.
