Chapter 464: Confusion, Doubt.
When Lornell came back, She saw Athan and Tiana talking as they occasionally laughed.
' From the demeanor of that kid, It seems that he likes her...no, it's correct to say that he loves her. It looks like this one year will be interesting. '
Smiling, She clapped her hands and spoke, " Alright. You two, Now it's time to get to the work. First, meet two more fellow students that will also be spending one year under me. "
There were two girls with her as they both slightly bowed in courtesy while grabbing their dress, " Hello, My name is Lina. "
Lina looked beautiful without a single blemish on her face and sky blue eyes. She had long blonde hair and wore a lovely flowery dress of red and blue.
" And my name is Hera. "
Hera had dark green hair weaved into a long ponytail. She wore a light fabricated dress of multiple thin layers, and the material was emerald with golden designs.
Both girls were beautiful and gorgeous.
Athan looked back, but before that happened, his void mask covered his face as he nodded and spoke, " Athan. "
Tiana also introduced herself with a polite smile.
After that, Lornless snapped her finger as a giant white marble stone appeared in the middle of the hall. The stone was square with 3 meters in size.
" Alright. Now, you four stand to this time and just watch me and the things I do on this white marble stone. " Lornell spoke as she walked in front of the stone before telling Athan, Tiana, Lina, and Hera to stand together at one side, facing her back and the front of the white marble stone.
" It will be my first time seeing a Rune Artist at work. " Tiana spoke with a smile.
" Same. " Said Athan as he turned his face towards Tiana.
Lina and Hera didn't speak anything but just threw a curious glance at Athan before looking in the front.
At this time, Lornell took out a pointy brush that looked like an ink-pen but bigger, and instead of metal, there was a pointy material.
The brush gave off the mysterious force.
Lornell turned around and looked at four of them before speaking, " This is my Rune Brush. Each Rune Artist has their rune brush which they create on their own while walking on the Rune Artist's path. You can only create this once you have grasped the order of Rune Artist. "
After saying that, Lornell faced the white stone marble and said, " Now stay focused and watch. If you managed to sense or grasp anything, hold on to it and don't forget it. "
Right after saying, Lornless put her Rune brush on the white marble stone and started carving something on it.
Athan and others looked on with full focus as Lornel continued to go golden carvings on the white marble.
The four of them drove their soul sense to the max to feel and sense the strange force from the white stone marble.
Athan narrowed his eyes and saw Lornell's carvings resembling intertwined linings, strange beastly features linings, and other such patterns.
She continued to do this until the whole white marble was filled with various unique golden carvings.
After that, she put her brush away and turned around with a smile, " For the next month, You four will just observe this white stone marble. It doesn't matter if you can grasp anything from it or not. You just need to observe it for 16 hours daily. "
After saying that, She enveloped herself in sparkling smoke and disappeared.
Ferinia stayed behind and just sat down on a fluffy cloudly blanket as it watched Athan and others.
Lina and Hera moved closer to the white stone marble before they focused on it with a serious expression.
" Hey, Athan. What do you want me to do? Even if you don't want me to do anything right now, you should at least tell me your objective so I can be prepared when the time comes. " Ferinia spoke lazily.
Hearing that, Lina, Hera, and Tiana threw a startled glance at Athan.
" Say, Ferinia, Did you let that person ride on you? " Hera asked with curiosity.
" Neighh...hahaha, yep. He is interesting. " Ferinia said to Hera before looking at Athan once again, " What's your objective? "
Athan glanced at Tiana, who was also looking at Athan with curiosity and then looked back at Ferinia before speaking, " I was going to ask you for a ride to Great Bridgade Palace. Knowing your power and identity as Master Lornell's chaos beast, you could do that, right? "
Tiana was surprised, " Go to Great Bridgade Palace? Why? You might not know, but I am from Great Bridgade Palace. "
" So you wanted me to take you to Great Bridgade Palace? Hmmm...That's indeed possible. But as Tiana asked, why do you want to go there? " Ferinia nodded before asking curiously.
Athan smiled behind his mask as he looked at Tiana and spoke, " That's...a secret. "
" Ehh...I think he wanted to go there to meet you, Tiana. "
Suddenly, Lornell's voice sounded out of nowhere, but they didn't see her anywhere after looking around.
A chuckle resounded before they heard her voice once again, " Don't worry. I was just leaving. Remember, focus and observe it 16 hours daily for a month. "
Tiana smiled at Athan mischievously and asked, " Is that true? Did you want to go there to meet me? "
Athan slightly trembled as he turned towards Tiana fully and nodded, " That's also one of the reasons. "
He then removed his mask once again and looked into her eyes before speaking with a gentle smile, " Tiana...Do you...remember me? I am Athan. The one you met in Thunder-Fire valley. "
Tiana appeared confused and spoke, " But I didn't meet you there. I don't remember such a thing. "
Athan's eyes twitched, " Then...How did you and others enter the Roumbra Blood war? How did you survive after entering there? "
Tiana tried to remember those events and frowned, " How did we enter there? "
She remembered a faint shadow with no facial features besides the four of them when she tried to remember those events.
But no matter how she tried, she couldn't see, know, or remember anything about that shadow.
Looking at Athan, she appeared confused, " I...don't know. My memories of that time are hazy. In fact, Avelia, Mike, and Qerin also don't remember those events. What's going on? "
