“To beat Floxi into the ground…?”
“Why are you so fixated on this?”
Sabella twitched the corner of her mouth.
She had rarely seen Floxi at the training ground recently.
There was no need to guess the reason; it definitely had something to do with Luwei.
“In terms of rank, they are both level 2 second-tier warriors.
However, as you know, Floxi has studied magic.
If they were to actually fight, Floxi would likely have a slight edge.”
“Magic…?” Luwei murmured.
Who doesn’t have that?
The image of that magic rune surfaced in her mind.
As long as she could find a magician who specialized in magical circuits to engrave the rune onto Shuangsha’s body,
wouldn’t she be able to change class to a Rune Warrior?
So, where could she find an expert in this field?
The image of a certain succubus professor appeared in Luwei’s mind once again…
Though Monet’s combat ability and magic level were nothing to brag about,
she was a member of the Alchemist Association…!
Alchemists were arguably the profession with the most eclectic academic backgrounds.
They not only studied the materials themselves and their reactions, but also various applications for them.
Brewing potions, forging equipment, researching magical circuits… if it touched upon magical materials, they would dive into it.
Therefore, they dabbled in almost everything related to magical technology.
And Luwei remembered that among Monet’s traits, there was a Talisman Mastery entry with a potential as high as B+!
Even high-ranking magicians who were proficient in using runes might not understand the underlying logic of runes as well as Monet did.
When it came to magic tech, one could never go wrong with Monet!
But, to Luwei’s surprise…
“Change class to a Rune Warrior!?”
“Are you making fun of me again?”
When Luwei brought Shuangsha to the laboratory, she was met with nothing but Monet’s rolling eyes.
“Do you think this kind of legendary profession is something you can just switch to on a whim?”
“Do you know how much damage engraving runes causes to a biological organism?”
“Even many magical beasts can’t withstand the damage of having runes carved onto them, let alone a delicate little demi-human!”
“Shuangsha can do it,” Luwei insisted stubbornly.
“On what grounds do you say she can?”
“A Rune Warrior is a legendary profession!
Even a level 7 Knight King would have to carefully consider their own Magic Tolerance and what kind of runes they could adapt to before switching…”
When Luwei heard Monet’s words, she stammered for a long time without being able to come up with any reason.
“I just feel she can…” Luwei pouted.
“And look at this, it’s so compatible with her.”
Luwei handed over the scroll containing the original rune for “Frost Armor.”
When she saw the primitive-looking scroll, Monet was stunned for a moment,
thinking Luwei had obtained something as heaven-defying as a “Life Potion” formula again…
But after she clearly analyzed the structure of the rune…
“It’s a very standard rune!”
Monet criticized it mercilessly.
“Do you know that when I was studying at the Alchemy Academy, I could study runes below level 7 without restriction every month?”
“I wouldn’t even glance at this kind of level 3 junk on the street!”
“The rune itself is not important; no one cares about the rune itself.”
“What’s truly important is—the material that adapts to the rune!”
“And the legendary profession of Rune Warrior is about taking one’s own body as the material, engraving magical circuits onto oneself, and turning oneself into a living magical weapon!”
Monet explained without reservation,
“Whether one can change to a Rune Warrior depends on talent, not some random rune a layman like you pulled out!”
Faced with Monet’s harsh scolding, Luwei lowered her head and bit her nail, seemingly contemplating a reasonable explanation…
Beside the two of them—
Shuangsha, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly felt moved.
Though she wasn’t as clever as her sister, it wasn’t hard for her to understand what was happening.
Her Master wanted her to change to a very powerful legendary profession…
And Researcher Monet believed she couldn’t do it.
Looking at Luwei’s lowered head… which had remained silent for so long, seemingly quite dejected,
a unique emotion suddenly rose in Shuangsha’s heart.
[If you dare to slack off during training, you’ll regret it.]
[Don’t train too hard; who told you to train all night?]
[I want to see you… surpass her!]
[Shuangsha can do it.]
“I can,” a somewhat hoarse voice sounded, causing both of them to freeze slightly.
Monet turned her head and saw Shuangsha with a stubborn expression.
“…This isn’t a question of whether you can or can’t.”
“Changing to a Rune Warrior is a very dangerous matter; no one can be certain!”
Monet said earnestly.
“Furthermore, it’s not like you’re fine once the rune is engraved; you have to consider complex long-term prognoses, physical coordination, and so on…”
Shuangsha didn’t understand Monet’s explanation, so she simply repeated:
“I can.”
Shuangsha turned her head and looked at Luwei, who had a surprised expression on the side… her eyes filled with nothing but trust.
“Master.”
“I can.”
Shuangsha obeyed Luwei and became a silent warrior.
This was ten thousand times better than being a real slave who died in despair from suffering.
Sometimes, she even felt that her talent wasn’t worthy of her Master’s cultivation and favor.
So she always trained in secret, training with all her might…
Shuangsha didn’t understand the reason Luwei cultivated her, nor did she understand the reason she became a warrior…
But she felt she didn’t need to understand those things at all.
After she was bought by her Master, Shuangsha could see the smile on her sister’s face every day.
That reason was enough.
It was enough for her to commit her entire trust—
without needing a reason.
Feeling the trust Shuangsha placed in her…
Luwei just smiled faintly.
“Believe in me, esteemed Professor Monet.”
“Shuangsha has the talent to become a Rune Warrior…”
