Secrets of the Runes

Hearing this, he felt incredibly awkward.

In the original plan, there was no such thing as a "Runes and Elemental Plane" research team. Yesterday, he had wanted a capable mage to stay with the academy and make preparation for his magic vacuum period. But now, as he looked at the old mage’s smile filled with anticipation, he realized he had been found out about it.

It wasn’t hard to discover though. He would easily find out the truth just by roaming around the academy and asking some simple questions.

However... judging by the old mage’s expression, he didn’t seem mad at all.

"Honestly speaking, only I know about the element dimension and runes." Benjamin decided to let the cat out of the bag, "We don’t know the basics, nor do we have the people who do. We will, of course, develop a research team in the future, but it can’t be done now."
