Rune Knight, Renoa

[Rune Knight, Renoa]

Congratulations for becoming one of us. Junior Rune Knight,

Soon you'll see the way we need to go clearly.

Until then, I'll be here to discover more candidates just like you.

Are you the one who wants to be a Rune Knight? There have been so many today.

It's too bad that there haven't been many candidates that have made it to my part of the test yet so I'm just taking a bit of a rest.

If you are taking the Rune Knight test I hope that you try your best. This won't be as easy to pass as Lunarea's test ok?

Finally! Is it my turn? I'm so happy.

There have been so many candidates failing Lunarea's test that I've given up counting.

I am Renoa. I am in charge of the teaching and testing of runes and magic for Rune Knight candidates.

Thank you for all of your trouble taking the test so far. Okay, anyway.

Well first, I'll give you an assignment. Let's start by studying. Go to the library and study these books.

Umm, Runes and Rune Knights, The Principles of Runes, The Making and use of Runes. Start with these 3...

Read the book thoroughly and come back. If you are the type of person who doesn't like reading and studying then it won't be easy for you to live as a Rune Knight.

Don't worry, you won't be required to have the same knowledge as the magicians of Geffen or Juno. But you can't be an idiot either.

Have you read all the books from the library? It won't be easy to read but if you are determined to be a Rune Knight, you have to have this kind of basic knowledge.

Basically, the power of magic cannot be used without training to draw out the power of nature and the elements.

Therefore, jobs such as Wizard and Sage have come out and the magic became their own sacred field.

The leader of the Rune Knights, Beljeve, is known to have been in touch with the fairies even before the dimensional door of the Ash-Vacuum was made when Satan Morocc resurrected.

I heard a story from the magical scholars about the technology that can substantialize the essence of magic. I began a study to substantialize it to a rune by getting their help.

Our Rune Knight's were born from the result of that study, which enables practicing both the power of the sword and magic by using runes.

You look like you don't understand why I'm repeating the teaching of the story already written in the book.

So for the second test, you need to visit the Laphine magical scholars who had given the direct help to the birth of Rune Knights at Ash-Vacuum.

Find the sage, Serpeone who's been studying and helping the Rune Knights who are out in the Midgard's camp at Ash-Vacuum.

The sage has already been in touch with us for a long time so you don't need to worry about understanding Serpeone's language.

If you are ready I'll guide you to the warp that moves you directly to Serpeone. Meet her and get instructions from her.

If you are ready I'll open the way to the sage, Serpeone who's in the Midgard post at Ash-Vacuum. Are you prepared?

Good. Then I'll send you there now. But, there's one thing I need to tell you.

You will be sent to the Ash-Vacuum. The people dispatched to the Midgard post are certified adventurers and officials.

Beljeve has an agreement with the other alliance countries that the free behavior of our Rune Knights is guaranteed but...

If you want to move freely through all of Ash-Vacuum, you'll have to go through the normal route which is acquiring qualification with the Midgard alliance. It has nothing to do with us.

The agreement only allows us to send candidates to the Midgard camp and nowhere else.

Good luck.

If you are ready talk to me again. I'm free anytime.

Umm, you're back? How's it like in the Ash-Vacuum?

Well, a person of your strength must have been there already no?

Now it's time to take the test concerning runes. I know that you have been through quite a complicated process.

I am going to give you a test that allows you to deal with runes directly.

In this test you will be making a rune stone yourself which will also be used for your last test.

If you remember what you read in the library just before, you'll be able to produce a rune stone here without my explanation.

If you succeed in making the rune stone it will automatically become the rune stone you'll use for yourself when you become a Rune Knight, so try your best.

The total number of rune stones you need to make is 20.

Remember that well.

In this test you will be making a rune stone yourself which is going to be used for your last test.

If you remember the books you've read in the library just before, you'll be able to produce a rune stone here without my explanation.

If you succeed in making the rune stone automatically it becomes the rune stone you'll use for yourself when you succeed, and it's delivered to Captain Tigris...so try hard.

The number of total rune stones you need to make is exactly 20. Remember that well.

The number of rune stones made 'til now is

Hey! I think I told you to make at least 20.

You've brought just the right amount. I'll hand over all the finished rune stones to Captain Tigris.

Wow! What's this? You've made over 20. It's ok for now but remember to follow directions next time.

I'll hand over all the made rune stones to Captain Tigris.

Because there is a test waiting for you that uses these rune stones.

Here, you've passed. Go back to Captain Tigris and complete the next test.

Ha! You did a good job considering how difficult my test is. If you were nervous, you can relax now.

Become a proud Rune Knight.

How... how did you get in here?! Captain, we have a spy!

[Captain Tigris]

Ah? What are you talking about, Renoa? Don't talk in such a manner! You make us sound like criminals.

Well, there is an unidentified person here.

Ah... hey, friend, come over here and let us talk for a minute...
