"Runes?" Old Bede asked with a raised eyebrow. "Since when were you interested in rune magic?"

Adam chuckled, "Since a while ago."

"Don't divert your time and effort on things you don't really have to, Adam," said Old Bede with genuine concern.

"Herbalism is already such a vast field that it takes us our whole lives to study it. Not to mention, we also have to invest our time in practicing mindfulness."

He paused for a moment before solemnly speaking, "Adam, us Magi, we aren't immortal. We only have so much time to focus on a few things."

"I understand, Old Bede," Adam smiled.

He could truly understand where this old magus was coming from. Old Bede wanted him to devote his time and energy to practicing mindfulness and studying the art of herbalism.

If Adam were to add the study of runes to his schedule, he might end up in a situation where he wasn't able to properly study anything.
