Runemaster in the Last Days novel Chapter 298

"Wow." Amelia was stunned. "How did you know?"

She was not that surprised to see Arnold kept on winning. Aside from her brother, who was simply a bug level existence, no one among them seemed to be able to beat him.

But Amelia was more surprised that Riya could tell that Ruben’s mana is exhausted.

"Because his movement has become sluggish… The difference is faint and if you’re not paying attention, you might not be able to see it. But when your mana is about to be exhausted, your speed of gathering mana to use your magic spells will decrease." Riya though for a moment before adding, "The difference is like 0,01 seconds, though."

Amelia: "…"

How the hell should she see it?

Seeing Amelia’s speechless look, Riya just chuckled.

To be honest when Riya first learned about this from the temporary mentor in that world, she also had the look of disbelief. After all, the difference was fleeting and it was impossible for them to notice it.

But he taught her that it was not impossible.

With their improvement in ranks, their perception of mana would become higher. At that time, they only needed to pay attention to the mana fluctuation of their opponent and they would be able to figure out their state.

This was a common knowledge in that world.

And Riya also used this method to gauge her opponent’s strength. Naturally, she would try to detect it when other people were fighting before doing it herself.

Because Riya knew very well that there were many powerful people out there and her own perception might not be correct. She had a lot of trial and errors before she could grasp people’s mana fluctuation easily.

Now, even if she didn’t pay attention deliberately, she could still notice the mana fluctuation of her opponent.

"You can try to study other people’s mana fluctuation from time to time," Riya said. "It’s not easy in the beginning, but as you got used to it, it’ll become a valuable experience for you."

Especially if the world become even more chaotic in the future.

Riya knew the importance of personal strength very well. If she was not strong, she would have died many times over in that world. But once she became powerful, they were the ones who had to shrink back and not come forward to her anymore. Explore hidden tales at freewebnovel

Because they knew that they couldn’t afford it.

"Ok." Amelia felt that this was very difficult as it would required her to train her perception.

But since Riya said that she should learn this, then Amelia will try.

She just sighed in her heart that there were so many things that she had to do.

"Amelia, you’re up against Arnold next," Samuel said as he saw Arnold had almost recovered his mana. A magic warrior’s mana was not that much and Arnold didn’t really rely on mana during his battle. So as long as his stamina was more or less recovered, Arnold would be ready for the next battle.

"Eh? Me?" Amelia stood up with pout. "Brother, are you purposely seeking my defeat?"

"Sean had already fought against Arnold, so it’s your turn now."

Sean, who was staying with his girlfriend quietly: "…" Why did you have to use me as example?

He really felt that his older brother was unkind.

There was no need to mention that he lost against Arnold, right?
