Chapter 78 Rune Division

Chapter 78 Rune Division

Atticus walked through the camp towards the Runes division. The camp encouraged trainees to join as many divisions as they could, wanting them to explore everything and eventually choose what suited them best. However, upon joining the camp, they were required to choose at least one division.

The Rune division, situated near the Emporium building on the western side of the camp, soon came into view. It was notably smaller and more modest in design compared to the Emporium.

As he approached, Atticus noticed the area around the building was utterly deserted, but this lack of activity didn't surprise him. 'Not many people can become runesmiths,' he pondered.

To become a runesmith, one had to have exceptional intelligence and unwavering willpower, attributes not easily attained by many.

In the first years, only Lucas could be considered a true runesmith, with the entire camp boasting only a handful of these skilled individuals.

Upon entering the building, Atticus found the interior equally plain and unoccupied. Not a single trainee was in sight.

His eyes fell upon a lone counter in the middle of the hall, where a man rested his head, seemingly asleep.

Atticus decided to get the man's attention. "Hello," he uttered.

But got no response. He raised his voice a notch, repeating, "Hello." nove)lb.In

The man stirred, slowly sitting upright, and indulged in a long stretch, followed by a yawning session. Eventually, he opened his eyes, and to his surprise, discovered Atticus standing before him.

Hastily, he got to his feet, rubbing his eyes, and regarded Atticus with a noticeable hint of shock. Most of the camp had witnessed Atticus's battle with Aurora, and the man couldn't help but wonder, 'Why is he here?'

With a nod of acknowledgment, Atticus turned to leave. He headed straight to the Emporium to acquire the necessary supplies, a task that took him less than ten minutes. Afterward, he returned to his room.

Among the items he had acquired, Atticus purchased books on runes. He decided to start by reading about runes before his upcoming lesson.

Lying on his bed with his body facing up, he held a book titled "Beginner Runesmiths" and opened it, beginning to read. It didn't take long for him to finish reading the book; completing it in just two minutes.

From what he read, Atticus discovered that there were five grades of runesmiths. In the first grade, one would be able to engrave simple, straightforward runes, such as a shield or a fireball rune and this can only be done on rune slates.

This grade wasn't particularly difficult to achieve, as long as you meet the necessary requirements, anyone could become a first-grade runesmith.

However, for the second grade, you need to be able to engrave more complex runes and even add your own variations to them.

Achieving the second grade was much harder; one had to reach a specific threshold to be able to engrave these runes.

This threshold or requirement that need to be met involved two stats, both intelligence and willpower.

The first was straightforward, essentially measuring how smart you were and how much information your brain could handle. The higher your intelligence the more control you would have over your body.

The second, however, was more complex, taking into account everything you had experienced in your life, especially the challenging or adverse experiences.

It was because of this that runesmiths often sought out tough situations to help strengthen their wills.
