Runemaster in the Last Days

But in this kind of training, high mana would not mean anything.

After all, Samuel made them train their physical body for the entire morning for several hours. He seemed not to care that they were about to faint under his training and always adjusted so that the training was within the limit they could bear.

"Eh…" Joan looked at Ruben with some doubts. "You're also at the peak of rank 1, right?"

"Aha ha…"

Ruben nodded weakly.

His official rank based on what Samuel said, was indeed peak of rank 1. But in terms of physical strength alone… he was still at the late of rank 1.

It could be said that in terms of physical strength alone, he was definitely the weakest.

Oh, that was when they didn't count Riya.

But considering that Riya is not a magic warrior… they were actually surprised to find Riya able to follow the harsh training that Samuel gave out. Her training was only at the same level as Ruben, though.

In order words, it was actually the lowest intensity.

But this was still something that most people would never be able to cope up with in their entire life.

"But Master, why is your physical strength so strong?" Ruben turned his head to look at Riya.

At this moment, Riya was sitting while leaning against a tree. She was so tired that she didn't feel like speaking at all.

Listening to Ruben's words, she raised her head but didn't answer.

"You're a magician, right? This is the first time I know that magician would also have high physical strength."

"I'm a rune master," Riya corrected and then closed her eyes. "I just use some methods to increase my physical strength."

Otherwise, she would not suffer so much in this training. Right now, Riya felt pain all over her body. She was sure that tomorrow, she would definitely suffer even more.

It seemed that she had to use light magic tomorrow.

As for why not today…

It was because Riya knew that she had to go through the day's training for it to be effectively increasing her strength.

She swore that the next time Samuel asked for her to join in, she will not agree, though.

"What kind of method can make you as strong as magic warrior of the same rank?" Ruben muttered under his breath, somewhat amazed and yet also confused.

Riya didn't answer.

The same rank?

She has never told them her real rank.

And even if she were to use these runes to increase her physical strength, it was absolutely impossible for her to have the same strength as these magic warriors.

Unless she also practiced their training…

But Riya knew that her strength improvement was very slow even if she did try to train, so she had never done so.

"Riya is not a rune master rank 1," Samuel said as he stood not far from Riya. "Do you want to continue the training or not?"

"Can I not continue?" Riya immediately opened her eyes.

Right now, she absolutely understood why Amelia kept on running away from home. If anyone was asked to train like this during peaceful era, it was estimated that they would rebel first.

Especially if they used to be a pampered young lady in a big and rich family.

Now that the world had changed, Amelia would not run away again from home. But it would be inevitable for her to complain from time to time when her brother pressured her hard to practice.

Riya had seen that Amelia and Sean were being pushed hard by Samuel.

The one that was pushed the hardest was Arnold, though. With the set of weight he wore, it was impossible for him to complete the training normally.

"Normally I would say no." Samuel looked at Riya helplessly. "But you're not a magic warrior and I don't think that you will benefit much from training and pushing yourself to the limit like this."

Besides, a magician who had the strength of a magic warrior rank 1 was actually already pretty good.

In that world, Samuel had seen many magicians were as weak as paper. Just a little poke was all that they needed to shatter these magicians' defense. If it was not because their magic was really strong, they would have died many times over because of their weak physical strength.

But at the same time, their weaknesses were also very obvious.

As long as they could bypass these magician's defense, they would definitely be able to kill these magicians. With their body, it would be hard for these magicians to run away too unless they use some enhancement magic.

And Riya's physical strength couldn't be said to be bad.

At the very least, Samuel felt that as long as Riya could get stronger like this, she could use some means to run away when she faced an opponent that she could not handle. With stronger physical bodies, the enhancement magic would also play better roles.

Of course, she might have other ways to deal with her opponents.

Samuel would not ask too much.

"Can you see whether someone will improve from training or not?" Riya asked with doubts.

"Not immediately, but I can see that you have a hard time correcting your posture when practicing." Samuel thought for a moment and then said, "Your memorization ability is strong, but your body's coordination is not very good."

Riya: "…" That's right.

Aside from her hand and fingers, which she used a lot to make runes, her other body parts didn't seem to be willing to listen to her that much.

Though, this training was not without benefit.

Riya felt that she had adapted to her current strength after the increase of strength when she carved the runes before. She could control her body better, but it would be too much to ask her to do high intensity moves.

"What's the next plan for the practice?" Riya finally asked. She wanted to know this before determining whether to continue or not.
