Magic Shop System

Kadyn stumbled out of his meditation room and spotted Jenna and Elora prowling towards the counter in an unconcerned manner, whispering some secrets of girls among themselves.

He spun towards the lunchbox and took it out off the shelf. Inside the lunchbox, there were sandwiches. His predecessor loved them. That must be the reason his mother made them for him. However, he wasn't a fan of sandwiches. He scratched his head and placed a sandwich in his mouth. He was hungry, damn it.

"Mmmm…" Kadyn nibbled on it, and his eyes widened in surprise. He loved it! He had no idea why, but this sandwich tastes completely unique and delicious...

"I want to train two hours more."

As he was chewing his delicious, delectable, and appetizing sandwich, a voice fell into his ears. He peered at Elora. "Whad?" and asked, trying to gulp down the mouthful of sandwiches. He felt embarrassed in front of a sexy girl like Jenna.

"I want to meditate for two more hours?" She rolled her eyes, seeing his stuffed mouth.

"No, no, cough… cough," Kadyn almost choked, hearing her words. He drank water and replied. "You can't meditate anymore."

"What, why?!" she widened her eyes, looking at her brother.

"Because I am saying." He stated and gnawed over another sandwich. After all he could not tell her how poor he was. He spent energy points faster than he acquired them, and if this continued, he would have no point left. So how could he let her practice with no restraint? Furthermore, he needed to show her he was the boss here, muahahaha!

"Then I will also go," Jenna spoke after hearing their conversation. "I just wanted to spend a little time with Elora."

Kadyn stared at them and suggested. "Why don't you try the Practice Room?"

Elora glanced at him and veered towards Jenna. Both of them whispered something among themselves that Kadyn failed to hear and nodded at him. "Alright."

"Great," Kadyn chuckled and clarified how the Practice Room worked—Practice Room was a valuable asset of his shop similar to the Meditation Room. By increasing the pain sensibility, one could temper his or her willpower and fighting experience without hurting themselves. Such things weren't even available in the capital Drolis of the Shado Empire, much less in the poor city like Avibria. Though Kadyn was unaware of such a thing, and so was his customer.

Jenna seemed eager to go to the Practice Room, as she had just awakened her fifth star. Kadyn guessed she must have already memorised a Star pattern and was keen to practice her spell.

Kadyn again mentioned to them about the pain sensibility. He didn't want them to feel the pain that he felt—he slouched in his chair after the duo vanished. It wouldn't be long before they come out.

He had already awakened five stars, and now he could assimilate with the knowledge inside the scrolls and could practice his spell. However, he didn't want to tell this truth yet to anyone that he had awakened five stars and became a genuine Elementary Mage.

"Is this the place?" someone spoke at the entrance.

Kadyn glanced towards the main gate of the shop and saw an abdominis boy, around the age of seventeen, stumbling into his shop. Behind him, two more boys entered. Though not as bulky as the first one, there wasn't much difference in them, looking round balls of flesh.

The first boy peered around and sauntered towards the counter, and the other two followed like good sidekicks. "Is this the magic shop?"

"Yes," Kady replied, gazing at the three fatties.

"So the news was correct." The boss fatty muttered and turned towards Kadyn. "Do you have any Speed Increasing Potion?" he asked.

"Potion service is unavailable for the time being." He replied. 'What will you do with Speed Increasing Potion anyway?' he glimpsed at the protruding bellies. 'No matter how many potions you use. You won't be able to run with that stomach.'

"What, you don't have?!" the boy glared at Kadyn as if he would eat him at the next second. "I should have known that Lower Town can't have any decent magic shop. What a waste of time."

Kadyn frowned, hearing humiliating words for his shop. However, he remained silent. "I want a dagger with an earth elemental formation. Do you have it?" he asked in an arrogant tone.

The lines on Kadyn's forehead increased from hearing his words. But Kadyn remained calm. "Sir, right now, there are only two services available: Practice Room and Meditation Room."

"What, there are only two services available?" the fatty slammed over the counter. "Then why are you calling this trash, a magic shop? Have you ever even seen a magic shop?"

"You…"

"Anyway what is the price to meditate in one hour?" just when Kadyn was about to burst. The fatty said. "I would like to check out."

Kadyn took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "For one hour, you need to pay two hundred dollars."

"Two hundred dollars?'' The boy blinked a slack jaw at Kadyn, then burst into a peal of disgusting laughter with his two companions. "Two.. two hundred dollars...ptttff."

"What's so funny about it? Tell me I also want to laugh." Kadyn couldn't help but lose his temper a bit.

All the three fatties stopped laughing while the big fatty stared at Kadyn. "You son of a whore wants to laugh with me? Who do you think you are?!!" he suddenly cursed, and Kadyn's face darkened and fury built inside his heart. "Two hundred dollars? Even beggars in front of my house earn a hundred times more than this, and you want to laugh with me?"

"Pow!"

Kadyn swung his hand and a sound of a slap echoed, and the fatty stumbled back, gazing at Kadyn in disbelief.

"How dare you?!!" he roared, covering his red, swollen cheek with his hand, and red drops of blood dripped from the corner of his thick lip.
