Runemaster in the Last Days

In the end, Amelia could only cook the second pot of meat soup.

Arnold still has to wait, though.

"Do you want to try using lightning to increase the cooking speed?" Arnold asked as he looked at the food.

It seemed that the lightning element that Samuel used when fighting against the magic beasts were very effective. It could be said that these magic beasts were all cooked, right?

Well, overcooked might be the best term.

Because they couldn't really eat those magic beasts that was scorched to death due to how violent the lightning was.

"If you want to try, I think it's better to do it when you're healthy instead of right now," Amelia said subtly as she looked at Arnold up and down.

His current situation was not very good and Amelia didn't want to torture him with cooking that might not be very good.

"Does your mana control that bad?" Arnold looked at Amelia curiously.

Samuel also asked him to train his mana control and the result was only average. In Samuel's words, it was not that bad but it was far from those who had great talent for mana control.

Arnold himself knew that this might not be his strong point, so he didn't insist on training that much.

"I didn't train my mana by cooking! That's Sean!" Amelia complained.

The one who have to cook precisely was Sean, alright?

Her mana control's practice was different.

Thinking about Sean cooking, Arnold couldn't help but laugh out loud. He knew very well that Sean has always hated going to the kitchen and didn't like cooking.

But when his own mana control was to heat up the thin plate and cook…

Sean would have no other choice but to do it.

It was not known how many eggs have been harmed in the process. But one thing for sure, Sean will definitely not willing to go to the kitchen again.

"The food is ready." Amelia pursed her lips and put the cooked soup on the table. The meat was only half cooked but for Arnold, who was still very hungry, it was good enough.

Soon enough, all of the food had disappeared while Amelia was already cooking the third batch of meat soup.

Well, she had turned into a chef.

An unqualified chef, though.

"If you're hungry, you can also eat something," Arnold said when he remembered that Amelia is also a magic warrior.

One of the easiest method for them to replenish their energy was through eating the magic beasts' meat. Because the magic beasts' meat contained mana that made it the best replenishment for them.

"No, I don't like half cooked meat," Amelia refused without hesitation.

Arnold chuckled and then waited for the food to be ready.

This time, most of the food entered Amelia's stomach and the rest entered his own stomach. He felt much better after eating so many meat and Amelia was already making the fourth pot.

It was definitely for herself because the food was far from enough.

To be honest, Amelia wanted to cry when she thought about her appetite. The only good thing was that her figure hadn't changed that much and only looked a bit stronger with faint muscles.

"You should rest after this." Arnold looked at Amelia helplessly.

"I know."

"Anything else?" Arnold saw the look in Amelia's eyes and asked quietly.

"Next time, don't try to be brave and go towards the place where the bombs are located. You're lucky that it's not very powerful, but what if it's a powerful magic scroll that can directly kill a rank 4 magic warrior?" Amelia said slowly, staring at Arnold solemnly.

"I don't think it's possible…" Arnold's voice weakened as he noticed Amelia's gaze.

The only person who could make such a powerful magic scroll is Riya and there was no way Riya would target them.

This was not blind trust but rather the trust that was built after communicating with Riya for a period of time. They could see that Riya was not a blood thirsty person. Moreover, they could see that Riya kept on making exception for Amelia, Sophia, and Ruby.

So it was clear that these three people have different place in her heart.

In that situation, how could it be possible for Riya to do anything that could possibly hurt them?

It was unreasonable.

But when Arnold saw Amelia's gaze, he understood that this was not Amelia thinking in this direction.

She's worried.

She's worried about him.

"I will not take risks that I'm not certain of, Mel," Arnold said slowly. "There might be a certain situation where I have to take risks… but it'll definitely not far above my capabilities."

He knew that there were no bombs that could truly harm them.

Except for nuclear weapon but that was another matter altogether.

So he dared to step onto that trap while preparing to make the counterattack shield. No, he had already made the shield and inputted his mana to protect himself.

The only time when he was caught off guard was when he faced Yer on his own and then the latter directly self destruct.

Samuel or Riya would be able to sense the violent mana fluctuation that lead to one's self destruction.

But they couldn't do it.

It was a problem that stemmed from their lack of experience along with the fact that their mana sensitivity was definitely not as high as these returnees.

"You…" Amelia opened her mouth before sighing. "Forget it. I know that it's impossible to stop you once you have set your goal."

In a sense, all of them were stubborn fools.

Each and every single one of them have their own goals in life and it was simply impossible for them

Seeing Amelia wanted to go back to her cooking spot, Arnold reached out his hand and grabbed Amelia's wrist. "In return… How about if you supervise me so that I won't forget that there's someone who's waiting for my return?"
