Ron contemplates the benefits of lighting the Scholar Star, envisioning enhanced learning and progress toward a complete Wisdom Constellation. The next morning, Lady Allen unexpectedly contacts him, revealing that passing 'Star Eater’s Ravings' to him was influenced by Cassandra's prophecy and their shared history as students of Master Yuter. She confesses suspicions of manipulation by Cassandra, who may have orchestrated their mentor-student bond, and offers to sever the Favor link upon Ron's ascension to Dark Sun Level to grant them both liberation. Ron grapples with complex emotions, reexamining his life and intensifying his pursuit of power amid the web of intrigue.

That afternoon, Ron showed up right on time at Frederick’s personal workshop.

This Enchantment specialist had obviously put in extensive effort to get ready for the session ahead.

The whole space was reorganized, featuring an array of exact tools and item specimens arranged in orderly fashion.

Yet, differing from his typical demeanor, Frederick seemed unusually on edge that day.

His left hand kept fiddling with the placement of instruments on the bench.

Such obsessive tidying obviously exceeded standard prep measures.

"Welcome to my workshop, Lecturer Ralph."

Frederick offered a hearty welcome to Ron:

"Today, we’ll dive deep into Enchantment discussions. I’m sure it’ll greatly boost your abilities."

Ron triggered "Hermit’s Knowledge" to scrutinize the faint facial cues of this mature Wizard, spotting a few intriguing aspects.

A fresh minor cut marked Frederick’s right index finger, as if sliced by a keen edge.

Even stranger was the subtle rune symbol barely discernible on his left arm.

It wasn’t mere adornment; it resembled a short-term enchantment serving a real purpose.

"You look somewhat worn out today, Lecturer Frederick."

Ron inquired:

"Is it due to the heavy prep load?"

"Ah, yes... that’s right."

Frederick replied with a touch of unease, his eyes darting about:

"To make sure this guidance yields top results, I worked through almost the whole night tweaking these tools. Guiding a prodigy like you is a special chance, so no mistakes can occur."

The excuse seemed plausible, yet Ron detected an odd vibe in it.

Frederick’s anxiety appeared to stem from more than instructional stress.

Still, given the tangled circumstances now, such a reaction made sense.

The following instruction unfolded with remarkable thoroughness and expertise.

Frederick started by running a full theory exam on Ron.

Via a sequence of smartly crafted queries, he gradually pinpointed multiple core gaps in Ron’s expertise framework:

"Your grasp on the nonlinear impacts of energy flow isn’t profound enough."

Frederick indicated a intricate theory sketch:

"When handling elaborate runes, these errors can spark unforeseen issues.

Energy passage via substances rarely adheres to straight paths, particularly during layered rune integrations."

"Moreover, the interaction dynamics among runes demand sharper control."

He illustrated various real-world examples:

"See this: two runes that normally mesh well might trigger harmony clashes in certain setups, resulting in the breakdown of the whole enchantment setup. In real applications, this could prove fatal."

Ron diligently noted down these insights and methods, quietly thrilled by the soon-to-come boost in learning prowess from activating the Scholar Star.

In this mode, his absorption rate soared beyond the norm, with numerous ideas that once demanded multiple reviews now clicking instantly.

"Lastly, you shouldn’t assess material harmony just through theory alone."

Frederick grabbed a few metal pieces that looked alike:

"All these are basic steel, but tiny variations in forging methods lead to vastly different enchantment responses.

Only via broad hands-on trials can you develop that fine-tuned sensing skill."

Then shifted to the hands-on practice directive phase.

Frederick broke down the exact etching methods gradually, kicking off with fundamental tactile drills:

"Enchantment isn’t just intellectual work; it’s also a meticulous craft blending brain and fingers."

He took a slender etching tool and softly traced it over a training gem:

"Each substance possesses its unique ’nature,’ and you must sense their power feel via contact.

Excess pressure might harm the core build, whereas insufficient lightness fails to create a solid power pathway."

Ron watched Frederick’s moves intently.

He saw how, for each stroke Frederick made, he fine-tuned the pressure and tilt according to the material’s quiet responses.

This fine-tuning came purely from built-up know-how and wasn’t teachable from texts.

With Frederick steering him, Ron started his own advanced practice trials.

In his first etching effort, he pressed too hard, leading to a faint fracture on the gem’s exterior.

"Mastering force application ranks among the toughest skills."

Frederick coached steadily:

"View enchantment not as cutting, but as an act of ’convincing.’

You have to get the substances to eagerly align with your goals instead of imposing alien shifts on them."

Following scores of tries, Ron noticeably advanced in his etching prowess.

Though not matching Frederick’s expert finesse yet, he could now etch fairly even and detailed patterns.

"Impressive progress rate!"

Frederick approved with a nod, a trace of mixed emotion shining in his gaze:

"Now, we’ll proceed to the higher-level method instruction."

He proceeded to cover elite skills like "Energy Circuit Optimization," "Multi-layer Rune Stacking," and "Real-time Debugging."

Each skill demanded a strong base in theory plus vast practice, often taking years to conquer.

"At last, I’d like to share with you a special hidden method."

Frederick dropped his tone, like unveiling a vital mystery:

"’Material Resonance Sensing’—forming a brief link to substances via Spiritual Power, to directly sense their inner makeup and power qualities."
