Scion of Time Gaming System!

"Now let me explain what these tiers are!" Janna said.

"To activate, a low-tier basic rune will borrow 20% necessary Magic power from the surroundings and 80% Magic power from the person using it. A medium-tier rune will borrow 50% Mp from the surrounding and 50% from its user. A high-tier rune will borrow 75% Mp from the surrounding and 25% mana from its user. A perfect tier rune will borrow 100% Mp from the surrounding and its user won't be burdened. The better and stabler the design, the better its tier."

Janna kept on explaining to the students about the different kinds of magical rune designs and their effects.

In the middle of the lecture, she used a holographic screen to let everyone see eight basic kinds of magical rune designs, which once inscribed on a talisman paper will create a talisman that holds dreadful powers.

Even though Marvin had excellent memories, it was too hard to memorize all of them, hence he drew them in his notebook.

The lecture continued for four hours until the bell rang and Janna stepped outside the room.

It was break time!

The rest of the students also started stepping outside. Some went to the cafeteria to eat food. Others went to the virtual gaming venter to go online. However, Marvin remained in the classroom.

Marvin did a quick look and after confirming that no one was nearby, he called his girlfriend. Bai Yue's secret must be kept safe and he was ensuring that no harm will come her way.

Bai Yue's phone rang and she looked at who called her. Her eyes opened wide in joy and surprise as she saw that it was her man but she was in a tight space. And, many of her friends were around her so she canceled his call and massaged.

"People around me. I will call you soon!"

Marvin gazed at it and sighed.

Five minutes later, Marvin received her call. He picked it up and they talked.

"I miss you. Bai, how have you been?" Marvin asked.

He was talking in secret codes as someone might eavesdrop on their call. This will put Bai Yue's life in danger.

"I am fine. Bro, how about you? I heard you got in troubles with the bullies again, do you want my help?!"

"Yeah, let's meet up on Sunday. I will come to your house. (Bai Yue, I want to take you out on a date, next Sunday.)" Marvin replied

"Sure!" She agreed to go on a date with him.

A beaming smile formed on his face as Marvin couldn't help but smile. He was really happy.

Soon after, the next lecture began. It was about how to sketch runic lines of a magical rune design on to the talisman paper. After the talisman teacher explained it, the next period began.

For some hour, no one came; However, several minutes before the third and last period was gonna end, the classroom door opened and a person entered the room.

Next came the newly hired teacher. According to the gossips, he was a master of formation and here to them about it. He was a wise, old man with a very long beard and hair. His beard reached his knees and his hair reached the back of his waist.

One look at him and Marvin determined that this man came from the other world.

This old man came from the continent of Camelot!

Marvin had always been interested in the otherworldly peoples but he barely managed to interact with them.

"Hi, young ones. My name is Bai Long. For the next four months, I will be teaching you all a little about formations and their relation with inscriptions. I hope we will be on good terms until the end of the term. For now, introduce yourselves to me!" the formation master said.

One by one, the students started telling him about who they were. Afterward, they chatted with each other. Some did their homework while the others practiced and hone their crafts. Soon after, Marvin turns also came. Just like the others, he said his name, explained somethings about himself. He then sat down on his chair.

All along, the old man's white eyes were staring at each of the students. He analyzed them into four different qualities. Most students belonged to the lowest quality. Seven were of average quality. Four had managed to impress the old man and he had labeled them as above average.

However, three people's caused his eyebrows to arch. One of them was Marvin, who silently sat down on his chair after announcing his name.

"This boy is mysterious. I can't see through him. He appears to be a rank-1 ability user but he defeated multiple rank-3 ability users. Moreover, unlike others, he isn't even practicing. Seems like he is either confident of his ability or he is just a foolish young man. But only time will tell!" The old man internally made his judgment about Marvin. He also had a similar judgment to the other two. One of them was Fatty Liam, the grandson of the Pill Hall third Elder!

After everyone was done introducing themselves, the old man said,

"Quiet down. For this week, I will be explaining to you guys about formation items. In the following weeks, we will be learning about positioning and other stuff. For today, you guys can self-study the book on the inscription or... goes home!"

"Yeah! You are the best teacher I ever met in my life!"

"Thanks, teacher."

"Old man, you are the best!"

The students cheered and some stood up to go home while the others self-studied.

Those who wanted to go home have gone away. The old man smiled while looking at the other students. One of them was Marvin.

Marvin remained seated as he wanted to study. Moreover, Jackie and his blonde friend are going to harm Aunt tonight so I must look after her.

"Congratulations, you have all passed my test!" Bai long suddenly announced surprising all the students.

"What test?" they thought

"Hey boy, come here!" The old man shouted while pointing at Marvin, surprising him.

Marvin gave him a questioning look and the old man pointed at him and said, "Yes, I am telling you to come here."

He stood up and went to Bai long. Suddenly, Bai long eaved his hand and fifteen thin books were placed on the teacher's desk.

"A spatial treasure?" Marvin instantly realized that the old man has used a spatial treasure to pull these books out. There were many kinds of spatial treasure such as spatial ring, spatial bracelet or earring, and much more. Their main use is to store stuff.

"Go and hand one to each. You can keep one for yourself!" The old man said to him.

After handing one book to the remaining student, Marvin went and sat down on his chair. He gazed at the book.

The book was named "Tri-formation basic."

Before Marvin could start reading it, the bell rang once again, and the class ended!
