Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 410: Talent

Riya nodded to herself in her heart.

It seemed that this General Leon was really sharp.

If it was so easy to learn the runes, how could so many people could not learn it without teachers?

This was because there were many information that was specifically controlled by the major power. The people at the bottom had no chance to come into contact with the runes, so they didn't know the real difficulty.

"Major General Leon is right…. To learn the runes and formation, you need to follow a set of sequence. I believe you should know this from the formation that I sent in the beginning?"

Because in her explanation, Riya also told them the route that they had to follow when making the runes.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the runes to succeed.

Just like drawing a specific drawing, they would start from the background and then others. There were lines that they had to draw first when drawing a rune otherwise, the result would be completely different or even a complete failure altogether.

"Yes." Major General Leon admitted calmly. There was nothing to hide from this matter. "So we would like to ask whether you can also give the information in accordance so that people could learn. In exchange, you can ask for something from us."

Riya thought for a moment.

This could be said to be expanding the rune master path to many people.

To be honest, a rune master's method was very varied and she could use thousands of different combination of runes and formations. As long as you are creative enough, rune master basically had an unlimited path ahead of them.

And it was impossible for Riya to write down all the knowledge that she knew.

"Would you like the detailed explanation of each runes or would you like the general knowledge?" Riya thought and asked. "There's a difference between these two."

Major General Leon frowned and then asked, "May I ask you to elaborate, Miss Riya?"

"As you have known, every runes are unique and the difference even with a dot can change the entire meaning of the runes. There's even the set of ratio for every rune that one had to follow otherwise it wouldn't work…" Riya smiled helplessly.

To be honest, when she first encountered runes, she also felt that whoever made it was crazy. How do they calculate the distance of the runes they draw?

But when she practiced, she realized that it was not that they calculate it.

It was simply engraved into their body.

How long the lines, how to draw this circle, how to connect the runes, everything was drilled into their bodies through rigorous practice.

There was no shortcut.

And Riya found it easier to do because she instinctively felt that it should be like this or like that and in the end, she managed to draw the runes easily. It was as if her body had already know the answer without the need of her training rigorously to make her body remember.

"To be honest, there thousands of runes and the detailed explanations for each of them will be very tedious," Riya continued slowly and lowered her eyes. "I don't think that normal people without talent would be able to memorize them."

Major General Leon's lips twitched.

Thousands of runes, each with their own rules…

He felt that it was not an exaggeration to say that rune master was really dependent on talent. If one didn't have any talent, just memorizing these things alone would be more than enough to make them doubt life.

"This is why I don't want to learn it in the first place…" Samuel shook his head on the back.

He could remember the side profession test that his parents gave to him in that world. When seeing so many dense runes and their specific detailed rules, he felt as if he was facing a big enemy and racked his brains to memorize them.

It was so hard that he almost collapsed.

Thankfully, it was quickly determined that he didn't have any talent as rune master or Samuel felt that he would be dying.

"Do you think it's necessary for everyone to learn to the extreme details?" Major General Leon chose to throw this question back to Riya.

He felt that Riya should know better than anyone.

"No. There are only a handful of runes that you commonly use," Riya replied calmly. "And unless you plan to delve deeply into the study or runes or follow the path of a rune master until the very end, it's not necessary to memorize all of them."

When speaking about this matter, Riya paused for a moment.

She still remembered what the teacher taught her and the other students when they first came into contact with runes.

"Those without talent could only rely on hard work, forcing their bodies to memorize all the sets of the runes into their body. Forcefully engraving it so that they would remember by heart and will not make a mistake.

Those with talent will be able to instinctively correct themselves with little pointers and will proceed ahead, far earlier than others."

She could remember the sad look on the teacher's face at that time when he said about these things.

Because he knew very well that the introduction process alone would definitely eliminate more than 90% of the students there. If they had no talent, persevering in this path would do nothing but to bring burden on their body.

Not to mention, becoming a rune master is not easy.

Without sufficient financial resources, they would not be able to recoup the losses if they were to make a mistake in the training process and wasted resources.

"Talent is really unreasonable. It allowed people to spend less effort doing something that otherwise will take others years to learn. But it's precisely because of talent that there are people who could reach the peak and shine in the field they excelled at."
