The Game Rune System

Chapter 52: Rune Forging

After the head maid left the office, Tetsuya and Milady Yuhi became alone in the room.

She slowly put her feet on the floor, then took straight posture with her book resting on her lap.

Each of her moves was really slow, as if the calmness was not only expressed by her quiet voice or those red serene eyes.

What was more surprising was that Tetsuya couldn't find any flaw within this sluggish movement. Was it because the lady was beautiful? Was it her strength? Or all of it together? Tetsuya was like a man who was enjoying every second of time within her presence.

But Tetsuya was a man who would never lose his rationality in the beauty's presence. He immediately thought inwardly, 'Has she seen through Henryk's scheme?' This scheme was naturally the one where Tetsuya lost his runes except Romantic Swordsmanship. His looks were also plain and even ugly.

If Milady Yuhi could see through it, then her strength was different to what the world knew!

Tetsuya could only wonder for now, though

"I don't lack personnel, so why would I keep you all for myself? Haven't you asked yourself this already?" Milady's voice slowly reached Tetsuya's ears.

He indeed wondered that, "Yes." He bowed after answering.

Keeping such respect became normal for Tetsuya. Though he wouldn't bow to stronger bastards with killing intent, Tetsuya's mental state was already shifted to an escape route if necessary.

He knew that this woman had no vile intentions, though.

"Your sword is rune that I can't see through." Milady Yuhi finally answered. Though every servant used rune, those runes were checked before by the head maid and he himself just said that 'Henryk' prepared for him.

The Romantic Swordsmanship in disguise was known as nothing more than Sharpening Rune Sword. However, Milady Yuhi could tell that it was not it.

Whether it was all true, Tetsuya could only just listen further, "Other than my Calm River Rune, I have gathered other runes for swordsman." A lot of high runes began to float around Milady Yuhi's body.

Those runes were high runes that could be used in various ways. It could affect the body, the mind and the external sources such as weapons. Such runes could also bring calamity like Red Rose woman did.

Tetsuya's eyes narrowed as he eyed each one of those.

"It's disappointing, but my children don't have talent for swordsmanship." Milady Yuhi sadly narrowed her eyes. She then spoke of a concept that Tetsuya had yet to learn on his road in the new world.

This concept was called Runes Forging.

Even if her rune Calm River Rune sounded like one rune, the truth was that there were many other runes assimilated within. Her runes were all high, but Calm River was the strongest and main core.

"I want a swordsman with a similar rune to mine, but also different. Such a swordsman should help me advance as I have hit a wall for the past hundred years" Milady Yuhi's words revealed more than just her desire.

It was not easy to find talented individuals and keep them in one place! This household was mostly focused on the swordsmanship that was elegant, so this was also an important requirement.

Such requirements drove away a lot of people, but the nobles themselves had high requirements.

"I am honored. My swordsmanship is mediocre, but it can only get better under Mistress' guidance." Tetsuya swore to work hard and polish his swordsmanship. As his eyes flashed with genuine desire and confidence in his talent, Miss Yuhi nodded and put her book aside.

She then stood up and disappeared out of the room in the blink of an eye.

In confusion and fear, Tetsuya looked around to find her and soon his eyes could spot her outside the mansion. She was in the garden with her hair already tied and sword clenched in hand!

Was it teleportation or pure speed? How was it slugging and calm?

Tetsuya's heart was racing, but he grasped his wooden sword and ran after her for the first serious training.

-

It's been more than one and half year.

Ashley was alone in her soul form within Tetsuya's mind.

Her training was focused mostly on her passive and four skills brought up by the game rune! What could lone soul possibly do other than training, all confined in this room? Ashley also believed that she would be able to see her partner as soon as her abilities rose higher!

That was why Ashley continued to exert her abilities until her consciousness fell asleep.

For more than one year, Ashley kept using her skills and her soul form got permission to enter the MOBA Board!

If only Tetsuya could use this board, then she would be able to see and even touch him!

It was an event that brought a lot of smiles onto Ashley's pretty face, but she didn't rejoice for long before returning to her harsh daily routine.

Now that she has access to the board, Ashley used the minion system supported by two runes to her advantage.

The minions summoned by this system were destroyed by her demonic skills!

And since they could resurrect like in any moba game, Ashley had an infinite amount of training dummies for herself.

Exactly after nineteen months of her training, Ashley spotted an unusual change within Tetsuya's mind. It seemed like something penetrated this land as there was an unknown part floating in her 'house'.

"What is this?" Uttered to herself Ashley. She approached the unknown object, then touched it lightly, "This feels like Romantic Swordsmanship Rune Tetsuya used! But why does it exude demonic aura?" Since Tetsuya was forced to use only this rune, has 'their bloodline' somewhat mixed with the romantic swordsmanship?

"Ah! Tetsuya might've finally gotten his own bloodline!" Ashley had a contract with Tetsuya and her bloodline was utilized because she relied on Tetsuya's body. He also became a demon, but maybe he finally got his own bloodline!

She was happy as it meant that Tetsuya was working hard!

"Does he miss me?" Ashley uttered to herself with slight loneliness, then began to inspect the broken and floating part. She felt like this was key to bring back Tetsuya's ego to this room!

She missed his voice very much.
