Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 974 976: Reunion (3)

"I know." Claire shrugged. "And Riya, you better have enough rest. I don't know what you're doing now, but you've always been like that. When you have a goal, you will work hard day and night to the point that it's very difficult to drag you to play!"

"...I have to finish my task...."

"Tsk, stop thinking about task!" Claire stood up and stopped in front of Riya. She pressed her finger in front of Riya's forehead. "You're a very serious and dedicated person, which is a good thing. But you have to remember that you're also a person. You need balance in life!

Stop thinking about mediation and getting stronger. Didn't you have a boyfriend? Amelia has been complaining in the chat group that your date with her brother is really strange. What kind of normal person would date while fighting?"

Claire was basically complaining.

'No, we're not dating while fighting.'

Riya almost retorted unconsciously and her lips twitched.

But it seemed... it was indeed rare for her and Samuel to have private time together. The two of them were both returnees and they knew each other's dream, so they were unwilling to stop the other party from training and fighting with those magic beasts.

They knew very well that it would be difficult to stop the other party.

Because the death they have experienced when they were young... well, when they were in that world had left them with deep memories.

They didn't want to have regret and die just because they were too weak.

So everyone was very ambitious and would train hard in order to become stronger as fast as possible.

Many people even resorted to some unconventional means....

Just look at the officials from Continent Y who had been tossed to death or Pena who directly monopolized a crack. There was also Murin who tricked the Magic Association or even Samuel who was being a crafty businessman. Dina who spread the demonic magician's method all over the world or even Ruth who seemed docile but had actually gained resources from two different continents.

Every single one of them had their own tricks to get stronger and gain more resources.

And no one would think it's strange.

Because they have seen other people doing worse in that world.

Tricking people to death, opening fake resources exchange, even blatantly stealing and murder...

There were many other things that had long crossed normal people's bottom line.

But it was extremely common in Afirer Kingdom, especially in the chaotic area where there were people from mixed backgrounds gathered together.

All sort of crimes happening every single day.

When they came back, they had to adapt to the modern world's law once more and there were many of them who were not used to it.

And when the earthquake happened and the world was back to this state...

It was obvious what would happen afterwards.

Many of them were no longer bound by laws and morality, so their action turned into that way. Some of them still uphold the laws and not cross the lines in their hearts but some others didn't care too much.

For the sake of power, many things can be forgotten.

Riya just couldn't do it.

And it was not necessary either.

She could still get resources in a normal way and simply established trade to get what she wanted.

There was no need for murder, robbery, or something like that.

What she had done was enough.

"I will rest more..."

"That's not enough." Claire bared her teeth. "After you go back, stop thinking about practice and relax like an ordinary person.... No, I don't mean that you're not an ordinary person ahhh!"

Seeing Claire looking like she had lost words to say, Riya's lips twitched.

As expected of Claire's magnificent EQ.

Even talking about some normal things could lead to loss of words.

But Riya knew that Claire was right.

'I do need to relax a bit.'

It was a good thing that she came back from that world early.

In this way, she could adjust her state first before the passage to the other world opened and the grand magic beasts' tide happen.

Even though it might not be a pleasant matter, everyone was still tense.

And there were also people like Claire who didn't care at all...

"It's ok, Claire." Riya chuckled.

"Tsk." Claire rubbed her hands. She muttered to herself, "I really don't understand why you have to be the person who stood at the forefront... you're clearly just an ordinary university student before."

Riya froze.

That's right.

Before the world changed, Riya was nothing more than an university student, striving to live a normal life.

If it was not for the transmigration and the change of the world, she might have followed this normal trajectory...

Well, she might end up in worse situation.

After all, there were some cruel people.

'I have already put them karma formation, but it didn't seem to work that well... Oh well, that formation couldn't take lives but it would make their lives miserable every time they want to do something bad.'

Riya shook her head.

What she didn't know was that her formation worked perfectly.

These two people could never do anything bad in their lives or they would end up having bad luck again and again.

Though, they never truly understood the reason.

After all, Riya's formation contained the essence of law and even though she was only a rank 1 rune master when she made it, only a real rank 7 rune master would be able to detect and break formation imbued with laws.

This could be her advantage after coming back to this world.

"No matter what, I just want you to live well and then we'll all go to karaoke and sing together!" Claire declared and then crossed her arms. She thought of something and rubbed her stomach. "When my child was born... I hope that you can still live well and then we'll gather together again."
