Chapter 14: Emma Mortis Wants to Change
The same lake, the same pavilion, but after walking out and crossing the garden-style bridge, he came to a whole new world.
What greeted him was...
Mhm, the air of freedom o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓
The students no longer needed to abide by the old school rules. A magic card of the dress-up series could make you colorful.
"Scram! School uniform!"
Dark even saw a schoolgirl, who liked to pretend to be serious, screaming on the spot.
Her school uniform, which shielded every important part of her body tightly, instantly turned into a black dress with puff sleeves and lace hem revealing her shoulders and collarbones.
And another senior, who looked like an obedient good student, combed his hair with a magic card to change his hairstyle from a bowl cut to a slicked back hairstyle when he walked off the bridge
His school uniform had also become a small suit to show off his figure.
The magic card in his hand had turned into a bright red rose.He then inserted the red rose into his chest pocket and walked gracefully, not showing any nerdy appearance he originally had.
Dress up, play, date, purchase, drink, sing and dance...
Traveller Street was like a fairyland completely deviated from Saint Marian, with everything Saint Marian didn't have!
And to enjoy these to the heart's content, all it needed was just a little credits!
...
Although the House Cup was held every school year, no one would start to exercise restraint at the beginning of the semester for the sake of the end of the school year.
And, there was a saying in Saint Marian that was not so applicable to many people: "The more you use it, the more you earn!"
But because there were indeed a few role models, many people habitually used this as an excuse to convince themselves to spend as much as they wanted.
Of course, there were also parts that one couldn't even buy....
When Dark took a small circle around Traveller Street and saw White and Robert again, the two were walking out of a toy store in frustration.
Obviously, their deducted credits were not enough to buy the toys they wanted.
Dark didn't have so much time to pay attention to others, so he just took a glance and walked away.
As a result, he failed to see Emma Morris, another big credit student who happened to pass by, was entangled by two inferior students.
...
Emma originally came to Traveller Street to find some miscellaneous books not available in the academy library, but suddenly saw Dark who seemed to be looking for something on the way, and subconsciously followed.
It ended up falling into the entanglement between White and Robert.
Embarrassed and angry, Emma said angrily, "So, isn't it your own problem that you don't have enough credits? Normal people should get 480 credits even if they don't receive points as rewards once, but what about you?
White embarrassedly said, "I only have 250..."
Robert blushed again, "Emma, we just want to borrow 5 credits from you. This is easy for you, isn't it? We will pay you back when class starts on Monday!"
White glanced at the new magic chess in the store, and couldn't help but say, "We are just short for 5 points!"
Emma looked at this classmate known as the "son of hero" and suddenly felt a little sad.
Immediately, a thought emerged.
She couldn't help but twist her brows again, and solemnly said, "I can lend to you, but you have to pay back double. And for every extra day, you have to pay back twice the credits! Like the second day is twice of the first day, the third day is twice of the second day, and so on. I only accept one payment. If you agree, I will lend it to you and sign the contract with the sorting card!"
Robert immediately agreed without thinking, "I will pay you 10 points tomorrow, 20 points the day after tomorrow, and 40 points on Monday, which means it's just two classes for each person, so no problem!"
Although White felt something was wrong, his eagerness to buy magic chess made him subconsciously ignore this strangeness.
The two boys signed the contract with the sorting card as a proof and immediately rushed into the toy store to buy the latest magical chess that could sing and rap!
...
Meanwhile...
After walking around for a long time, Dark finally found a store that specialized in magical instruments—Morgan Store.
Traveller Street was full of various grocery stores, and many cheap things could be bought at any grocery store.
But, [The magic brain dropper] was an alchemy tool with extremely high professional requirements. The price was also very expensive, and it could only be bought in specialized shops.
Dark searched for a long time before he found the Morgan store in the gap between two jewelry stores.
He pushed open the wooden door that had been in disrepair, and suddenly a decadent damp smell entered his nose.
"Little Thing, don't touch anything, you can't afford to break our goods."
The one-eyed Morgan behind the counter only pushed open the blindfold and took a look before he realized Dark as a freshman.
And how many credits could a freshman earn in a month?
Morgan couldn't be more clear.
He unceremoniously asked Dark to leave, "The cheapest thing in our store still costs thousands of credits. This is not something you can afford as a freshman."
Dark glanced at the test tube group on the shelf, and asked, "Is this group of test tubes also worth a thousand credits?"
"This……"
One-eyed Morgan was really stumped by this question, and it took a long time before he said angrily, "Why is this set of constant temperature magic test tubes not worth a thousand?"
Dark, "What about this beaker, this flask, this evaporating dish?"
One-eyed Morgan slammed the counter, "It's none of your business!"
Dark shook his head. It seemed the boss had a bad temper and was acting like a child. Or maybe he was on his period.
He stopped playing with One-eyed Morgan and looked on the shelf.
There were test tubes and beakers. There was no reason that he did not sell droppers, right?
"The flame crucible, the demon spirit alcohol lamp, the magic separator... the ever-changing glass rod, the magic energy dropper..."
This magic energy dropper should be the inferior product of The magic brain dropper, it could only absorb a little magic energy.
A dropper was a short tube with a hole at one end and a rubber ball at the other end, which was used to measure liquids by the number of drops.
But in the magic card production process, it was usually used to absorb magic energy, knowledge, thought... and even the soul!
According to legends, there was a magister injecting his soul into a magic card to create a magical spirit with an intelligence level of 3.0!
The magic brain dropper Dark wanted was lower-levelled than the soul-absorbing dropper.
It was not the kind of rare product that couldn't be bought.
But on this shelf, there really wasn't any!
He had to walk to the counter and woke up the one-eyed Morgan who was awkwardly pretending to be asleep.
"Hello, boss. Do you have any magic brain droppers?"
One-eyed Morgan didn't raise his head, "What do you want that thing as a freshman?"
Dark still maintained the necessary courtesy, "Experiment."
One-eyed Morgan raised his head with a weird look, but still said, "Wait, I'll go look inside."
After a while, he actually took out a magic brain dropper, but the appearance was not so good.
