Return of the Legendary Runesmith-Chapter 75 - 74- Creation

Inside the library, Olivia and Allen were currently sitting together and studying for the mid-term

It would start in a week and continue for five days.

The report card of the students contains their performance over the three years. Each exam conducted is important for everyone. Which explains that Allen, who doesn’t like to study much, was diligently studying at the moment.

However, Olivia was slightly distracted. It could be seen that she continued to look at Allen and back at the book.

Naturally, the raven-haired sensed her gaze and asked without lifting his gaze, "Is there anything you want to ask?"

She was caught off guard, and the shock elevated when suddenly he looked up and asked the girl, "Is it about Professor Adrian?"

Olivia’s lips parted slowly as she weakly asked, "H-How...did you know?"

"I mean, you won’t have been so hesitant otherwise. And if you feel I would be jealous because you are concerned about your ex-fiancée, then you might not have understood what kind of person I am."

Olivia hurriedly shook her head, "You are misunderstanding...I wouldn’t have gone that far. But after being uncaring towards him for so long, if I suddenly started to show concern, undoubtedly it would sound weird. Especially now that our engagement has been annulled."

"Hmm, fair point." He rested the book on the table, without closing it, and said, "Well, I went to meet him in the morning, and from what I could tell, he is fine. Sylvie told us, remember? The soldiers reached the spot in time and rescued him."

Olivia nodded, but then, "She also reported that he assassinated several Acolytes and the boss of the gang by himself. Is it true as well?" Her voice held subtle amazement.

"Hmm~she has no reason to lie...even though it sounds quite...what can I say...impossible? For the Professor to deal with those many magicians all alone?"

Allen wasn’t insulting Adrian here. Everyone knows what the man is capable of, but combat isn’t one of his specialties

Allen himself has seen him training with the headmistress in the morning, and the spars he witnessed made it clear that Adrian was still not at the stage where he could handle real-life combat against several ambushers at once.

That’s why the thought of Adrian dealing with Acolytes and an infamous gangster didn’t sit well.

"Well, in a way, I can understand how he achieved something like that." Allen suddenly spoke, bringing a questioning look to Olivia’s face as she hummed.

Allen heaved a sigh and leaned back on his seat, "I have seen him helping a failed Warden to realize her true potential. The spell Professor Norma chanted that day still lives in my head."

With the corner of his lips curving, he added, "If he can make such a tremendous and priceless armament just randomly for someone else...just imagine how much thought he must have put into his own armament."

Allen suddenly had a thought as he asked his girlfriend, "Hey, Olivia...is there any way I can persuade Professor Adrian to make an armament for me? I know I shouldn’t ask you this...but you once were close to him...at least, you know him better than any other student."

Olivia was taken aback by the sudden request, but she still understood the reason behind his eagerness.

Allen wasn’t progressing in his second attribute, and to gain more experience with the Light element, he needs an armament made by Adrian.

After a brief moment of contemplation, the green-haired voiced, "I think...he likes caramel pudding and he uses most of his free time to read books."

Allen hummed, "So caramel pudding and a few books. Got it. Thanks."

Well, as ’she’ said, having Olivia on his side would be beneficial. Although not in the way ’she’ suggested, but still, Olivia would become the bridge between Allen and Adrian.

Inside the workshop, Elana could be currently seen sitting on the chair and doing nothing.

For someone of her age, sitting in one place and doing nothing surely would have bored her. However, right now, she wants time to stop, and she gets the permission to stare at her favorite person for eternity.

She was invited by Adrian to his workshop since he was creating an artifact and needed her help.

She thoughtlessly agreed, delayed her studies for later, and hopped her way to the workshop.

’Haah...those beautiful lashes...sharp jawline...well-shaped lips...and those thin long fingers.’ She knew it was wrong to feel like this, but she couldn’t help but rub her thighs at the sight of her male god working so diligently before her.

"I am sorry for keeping you here, but I might need to take your element’s help again." Adrian apologized with a smile as he looked up from the device he was building.

Elana shook her head. "It’s nothing to be concerned about. I have already finished my studies, just some revision is left."

Adrian knew that she was an intelligent girl who always scored higher than her classmates. However, everyone still needs to remain focused on their studies before exams. Excellence cannot be maintained without discipline.

"I heard from Ariana...that you went against the orders and searched for me all around." He called out, without removing his eyes from his creation.

Elana didn’t say anything since everything was already within his knowledge.

She wasn’t ashamed nor regretful. She would break the command and go against anyone if it’s about the man who has helped her reconnect with the world. The one who gave her hope...how could she not be worried for him?

"As a teacher, I should reprimand you...and as a person, I feel thankful for you." He smiled, his lips curving as he added, "Thank you, Elana. You didn’t think of your status as a student and just rushed to rescue me." Looking at the silver head, he gave a thankful nod, "I appreciate that."

Elana was lost in those eyes.

...how can someone be so effortlessly breathtaking?

Adrian finally looked down and said, "I think it’s prepared." He suddenly got up, breaking her daze as he advanced towards the entrance of the workshop and attached the artifact, which was the size of a donut, to the wall.

Once he was done, he stepped out of the room, jumping over the range of the artifact, before opening the door wide enough to be careful.

He asked Elana, "Can you throw me a tool...anything works—uh, except for my pencil."

Elana nodded before she took a small screwdriver and carefully threw it at him.

Adrian crouched before taking a deep breath.

This was the first time for him to invent an artifact, so he wasn’t sure of the result.

But failure is a step to success, so he didn’t hesitate and rolled the driver inside the room

Just as the screwdriver reached the range of the artifact,

*SHLINK*

Several long and thick ice spikes protruded from the artifact, stabbing the wall across from it.

Elana’s eyes widened, and Adrian gave a satisfied nod.

"Yeah, this will do."

He was going to turn this academy into a deathtrap.
