Even though Arnold and Ruben were confused why Riya wanted them to advance to rank 7 as soon as possible, they believed that Riya wouldn't harm them.
Besides, Riya is not a demonic magician like Dina who would absorb other people's mana and so on.
Instead, she's a proper rune master who followed normal magician's meditation technique.

Arnold could actually advance at any moment given by his current condition, so Samuel only gave him more resources which helped Arnold to advance.
