Previously, on our last episode, we had a Rune Knight who trained to be the best. The way to initiate such a thing is pretty obvious; To warm up your body and your magic meridians in order to ensure that no harm would befall you while working to improve and grow stronger. So with that out of the way, what would be the best way in which to practice ones spells and magical abilities? Well, that would be a practical exam!
At this point, Jove had confirmed for himself that he had honed his strengths and mitigated his weaknesses. He had fought plenty of large beasts, monsters, and other types of ghouls and ghastly beings in order to fine tune his control over mana and his body. This was in order to ensure that no extra energy would be expended in a fight. After all, things could change at any given moment. More enemies could arrive, an opponent could be hiding a transformation, they could have tricks that one could never predict, and the list goes on. Once he had finished fine tuning, he needed someone to test it on, and coincidentally, the Rune Knights had given him an opportunity to do just that.
