Chapter 6: Evening Scheme



Damian decided to rest for a while after bawling his eyes out, he took the book with him though. His mana particle experiments were facing a serious resource problem to make any more breakthroughs, but if what he learned from this book could somehow be used then there might be a totally new path for his research.

Damian did not try to activate his new skill because he already knew what it did. He was a bit surprised though, because this skill effect was normally associated with the Beginner Enchanter-related job which one could only gain after going through Ascension. It worked as voice activation for self-made runes & runic structures.

After lunch Damian read the Runic book all the way through, Having [Scholar] he could somehow read at a much faster rate and understand the meaning of complex sentences better. After a few hours, he used his Truthseeker\'s eyes again and tried to make the sense of as many runic equations as he could.

In the evening when cool Breeze touched Damian\'s face, he looked out of his window and felt like going outside, so he took his books and went outside to sit somewhere nice in the garden.

Damian found a good spot in the garden but just as he was heading towards it, he noticed Lucian sitting beneath a tree in the distance. Rosie the nice maid, was also sitting beside her holding books and stuff. She immediately noticed him and started waving, which was noticed by her not-so-amused mistress.

Lucian glared at Damian, well she was too far away to see clearly but that\'s what Damian imagined she must have done when her face turned towards him.

He turned around and walked towards the place he previously picked, but as if the heavens were plotting against him he heard a voice behind him.

"Oh, Master Damian! Can you give this to the young miss if you are going there. I have something I need to do."

"Uhm.. I was..."

But Thomas handed Damian the letter or whatever it was in the sealed envelope without even hearing his reply.

"Thank you so much, Young master."

Then he smiled which Damian could swear was more like a smirk. Then he turned around and left.

Left with no choice Damian headed towards the tree where Rosie was still waving for some reason. The first thing he noticed was the mountain of books. Why would someone even need so many books for just one evening was beyond Damian\'s understanding.

"Here my lady, Thomas asked me to give this to you."

Damian presented the envelope which was quickly accepted by Rosie and brought to Lucian. Then he was just trying to turn around when he heard Lucian\'s voice.

"You can read here."

Not wanting to make a bigger issue out of nothing Damian just sat down a few meters away from both of them and placed his two extra books on the side and focused on the Runic one. He had already read it twice since morning, it was pretty thin, right now he wasn\'t actually reading it but trying to understand the runic formulas for figuring something else out.

He heard some noises from the duo related the envelope but he just ignored it.

"...I understand but, he didn\'t even consider it."

That last one was a bit louder than the rest which drew Damian\'s attention. Seeing him raise his head up both of them took a second from their conversation and looked at him.

"Ah Master Damian, Are we disturbing you?"

"No, it\'s fine. If it\'s alright may I know what this is about?"

"Hmm you see my lady Here proposed to level up quicker in order to focus on her skills and not worry about the level later but her proposal was refused by her father."

Level up? Damian had to give it to her it did make sense. Normally a kid would just focus on levelling their skills with what the skill specialized in blindly, just to level up overall. But if one reaches the level cap than she could take her time to learn swordsmanship with detailed understanding and better mastery. That indeed made a lot of sense.

Damian nodded then looked at the lady in question and asked.

"What method did you propose for it?"

She stared at me for a second but replied nonetheless.

"I asked to bring monsters so I could kill it with a sword. He said it\'s unfeasible though. Hmph... excuses.."

What\'s with this brat? She really wanted people to go hunt monsters and bring them back in this palace? Sometimes she acts like a genius, then just does something that reminds everyone that she\'s just 8.

"It is indeed unfeasible..."

"You.. WHAT THE.."

He cut her off before she could berate him for no reason.

"It\'s too costly and inefficient. If you want to level up it makes more sense to go in the forest directly doesn\'t it?"

Both looked at him as if he was a dumb kid, maybe which he was.

"I need to kill it with my sword otherwise there is no point in it. Forest is too dangerous, we can\'t focus on just one singular thing in there."

"That\'s why going with at least 20 knights and one or two high-level combatants is better and less costly than just ordering monsters through people. They can keep the other monsters in check while you deal with opponents that are on your level."

Damian explained what he would do if he was in her place, and could just ask to be power-levelled.

"It is indeed a nice plan, Young master."

Rosie said while smiling at me.

"It is too dangerous."

Lucian declared.

Damian really wanted a chance to go out and get some monster materials. Monster blood was the basic ingredient for an ink that enchanters used to draw runes. Damian could not let go of this chance so he tried to give her one final push.

"Who knows you might even get some unique skill while fighting in a life and death situation..."

That got her attention, just as he guessed. Unique skills which leads to prestigious jobs were a really big turn on for nobility, it gave them an edge over their competition which was always appreciated. If she becomes more powerful than her family\'s strongest warrior she could even earn a greater status for her house. Which was the wet dream of all noble children, a chance to prove themselves.

"I will write another proposal."

She said after deciding something in her mind and nodding with determined face. Even Rosie seemed happy for being able to help her lady in some way.

However the next night his own greedy Arrow came back to hit him in his own little back. Thomas came and told him to follow him, and with each step Damian\'s mind was racing at full speed as to what could he possibly must have done that Baron himself was asking to meet him despite having such a busy schedule.
