The Hero Turned Into A Potato And The World Fell To Ruin Chapter 7: Caused Trouble

Since Liu Ji had turned back into human, naturally, potatoes were off the menu.

To obtain sufficient food, the young swordsman decided to venture into the forest to hunt.

Osar wanted to tag along, but the young swordsman didn't feel at ease leaving Yaine alone with Liu Ji, and thus, the tigerman was forcibly made to stay.

Now, Osar was idly sitting by a newly lit fire, while Yaine was focused on writing and sketching in a small notebook nearby. Not far from them, Liu Ji was slowly flipping through a thick, heavy old tome.

"I have never learned how to teach someone a new language when there's no common language between us," Yaine said. "Besides, you may want to teach him, but he might not want to learn."

"But can he really learn incantations?" Osar stroked his chin. "I looked at spell books when I was a kid, and I couldn't understand a thing."

"It depends on luck. If someone is talented and has an interest, they can learn incantations on their own much faster than a new language. At least, judging from his reaction, he doesn't lack interest," Yaine explained, tearing a page from her notebook and handing it to Osar. "
