《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Rean's interest was immediately piqued.
"What a coincidence. I also have something to show you. Anyway, tell me your news first."
Droman nodded before continuing.
"I got permission to enter the Formation Masters Repository in the Formation Master Guild in the Capital. The last time I went was over 50 years ago."
"The Repository is the most complete one in our Sasamil Empire. Because of that, there are way too many Formation Masters who want to enter it. The rule says that each Formation Master who isn't part of the Capitals' Formations Master Guild can only browse their books for a month at most. After that, they can't return before a hundred years has passed."
"Fortunately, the Communication System helped me avoid this rule. It was considered a huge addition to the Formation Master Guild, so they made an exception. It was so good that I can even bring someone with me. Obviously, I thought about you."
Rean was delighted to hear that. That was indeed an excellent chance.
"Great! You talked about this place so much that even I got curious. However, you said that Guild Members can enter anytime they want. Why don't you join their guild as well?"
Droman shook his head.
"It's not that simple. There are so many slots for Formation Masters to join the Capital's Guild. After all, if they accepted anyone who concluded a Formation Master test, there would be way too many people again. Because of that, they only take around ten or so Formation Masters every year. I'm pretty confident about my abilities, but not to the point where I can compete at the Empire level."
"Also, half of these slots are destined to new Formation Masters. That being said, it's even harder for me to enter the guild."
Rean couldn't help but ask.
"Shouldn't the Communication System be more than enough to allow you to enter the Capital's Guild? Even the Imperial Family was moved by it, after all."
Droman laughed after hearing that.
"Hahaha! Of course, I can use that. However, the one who created the communication system was you, not me. I won't use your idea to benefit myself."
Rean shook his head in response.
"You know very well that my existence as the creator of the Communication System is a secret. That being said, I can't take it either. Isn't this chance being wasted instead?"
Droman didn't seem to care, though.
"Even if it's okay for you, it isn't for me. Call me stubborn or whatever, I don't care. Once your Formation Master level increases, you can go ahead and take this slot in my place."

Rean pondered a bit before asking.
"What about these ten slots available every year? I could try that. If I get to enter the Capital's Guild, you should have no excuse to not enter anymore, right?"
Droman laughed once again.
"Do you think it's that easy to join? You definitely have a lot of talent for formations, but that is the Capital's Guild. There is no lack of Formation Master Geniuses who try it every year. It would be tough for you to enter the top five and get a slot for yourself. I've been teaching you all this while. Trust me, I know."
Ren shrugged his shoulders in response.
"Well, we are already going there anyway. It won't hurt to give it a try, don't you think? Besides, I'm particularly good at Lightning Type Formations. Who knows? I might be lucky, and they will select these types of formations for the test."
"This..."
Droman pondered a bit and nodded in the end.
"Well, it would at least be a good experience for you. Very well, the next test just so happens to be around the corner. Since we are already going there to look in the Repository, I can use it to prepare you for the exam. The Formation Knowledge there is a lot better than the ones we have here, after all."
Rean was happy to hear that.
"When is the next test?"
Droman then thought about the date and said.
"It will start in 67 days. We have one month free to use the Repository in the Capital, so it is more than enough. The travel will take us around half a month to arrive if we keep using Teleport Formations."
Rean couldn't help but feel excited. He has never had the chance of competing in Formations with others until now. The Formation Masters in the Sect at his level were not his match, especially at Lightning Type Formations. As for Droman and the higher-level ones, it would make no sense to compete against them. After all, the difference in age, cultivation, and the runes they could use were too different. Rean wanted to find people who had been studying formations for the same time as him.
Droman could tell what Rean was thinking and smiled. In the past, he had also participated in the Capital's Test. The level of Formations during that time really opened his eyes.
"Anyway, what did you come to talk with me for?"

Only then did Rean remember the Circuitry Formation he had been working so far.
"Ah! That's right! I finally finished developing that idea of mine."
Droman was surprised to hear that.
"Oh! You did say something over a year ago that you were working on something completely new for the Electrical Formations. I asked you several times what it was about, but you never said anything. Did you change your mind now?"
Rean laughed before explaining.
"It's not that I couldn't show you, but it was not a mature concept yet. I wanted to first ensure it was viable before showing it."
Of course, that was a lie. It was just that the Electrical Formations Repository didn't have anything regarding the Circuitry Formations at that time. Obviously, Rean wouldn't say that.
Rean then brought out many piles of paper with several schematics. It wasn't only the Router Formation that was described there. Rean also thought about many other uses. That would ensure that no one would come up with the ideas before him, affecting his Destiny Points income. Still, the majority of it was all related to the router formation.
"This... How long will I need to read all those papers?"
Rean shrugged his shoulders.
"Now you know why I took this long to bring it out for you to see. If I could use jade slips, I would have done so. However, we both know that only at the Nascent Soul and above would I be able to put information into them."
Droman laughed, not minding it too much.
"Alright, alright. Let me take a look first. With my cultivation, I can at least read them much faster than you."
Droman then used his Spiritual Energy to grab everything and lifted the papers in front of him. After that, he used his Spiritual Sense to read the texts one by one. It was a much faster way of reading than using one's eyes. Of course, Droman also had to make sure to pay attention to the content. That being said, there was a limit to how fast he could read and understand everything that entered his mind.
Droman had a smile on his face as he read everything. After all, Rean always came up with new ideas that made his profession as a Formation Master more enjoyable. However, his smile began to disappear as surprise took its place. The concepts of Circuitry Formations were something completely different from everything they had done so far.
His surprise then slowly changed into shock. The more he read, the more he had to slow down the reading to make sure he wasn't missing anything. At some point, he completely forgot that Rean was still in the room as his entire being merged with those papers in front of him. Every now and then, Rean heard Droman murmuring something.
"Amazing! Can it really work?"
"Oh! I see... the metal paths on the board can keep the electrical signals separated even though they are so close to each other."
"What?! Can it really work with such a small output of electricity? Isn't it too weak?"
"SPU? Spiritual Processing Unit? What is that?"
"This is crazy! No, wait! Let me go back to the SPU part to check something first."
"It might really work!"
By the time Droman finished reading everything, over a day had passed. It's not that it took him that long. After all, Rean didn't really put everything he knew in the papers, only the basics of the basics. For example, the Electromagnetic Waves were not there at the moment. Droman took this long to finish because he basically referred to different parts of the documents many, many times. At the same time, he applied his own knowledge of Formations into the project presented in the papers, which made him even busier.
"Rean! This is world-changing!"
"Uh? Where is he?"
Around an hour later, Rean returned to the Formations Hall after Droman sent someone to look for him.
Still, Droman seemed a little embarrassed when he looked at Rean.
"Ahem... I might have got a little too excited with these documents that I accidentally forgot you were there."
Rean laughed, not minding it at all.
"Hahaha! It's okay. Instead, I'm shocked that Master finished reading everything in a single day. It took me months to put all of this together, you know?"
Droman sighed before going back to the main topic.
"Rean, you aren't an idiot. You do understand how big this is, right?"
Rean nodded.
"Yes. That's why I came to you first, Master."
Droman nodded before saying.
"I'll be direct. We should use another power to display these Circuitry Formations."
