I Reincarnated as a Shinai

Chapter 62: Auction II

"50 gold coins!"

"6065 gold coins!"

The bidders continuously raised the price of the Flash Stones while the auctioneer tries to hype the other participants to join the bidding war.

The price of the item wasn't really expensive and even Diether could join them. Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with these kinds of auxiliary items.

Support items like snares, potions, flash bombs, and others weren't new to Diether since having traps was common to Hunters within the forest. It was just that he was practicing his swordsmanship skill, that was why he wasn't using them during battles.

"This item might help you in case of emergency Beasts, especially Evil Beasts, truly hate seeing the light! You may use these Flash Stones to catch them off guard to kill them or use it to escape! Having these items would increase your chance of survival for those who always goes outside the protection of the towns or cities"

The auctioneer didn't give up to increase the value of the already overpriced item

After saying this, the bidders who were hesitating a while ago joined the competition Although they may not profit from reselling the item, it wouldn't be that bad to acquire it for their own use.

"105 gold coins!"

"120 gold coins!"

"135 gold coins! Going once, going twice, sold!"

The female auctioneer happily announced after getting the item sold for a high price. The market price for the Flash Stones was only 50 gold coins!

However, because of the few tweaks of the student who made it, she managed to sell it for 135 gold

This would help the student pay for his tuition fee and even have excess to use it for his experiments.

All the 50 items to be sold today were from the aspiring student artisans It was a very expensive profession so the academy was helping them to sell their early products.

The auction continued and for the first time, an item made Reiji very interested.

"This is the 10th item for the day A set of Tranquility Fabric!"

The auctioneer announced which made the participants murmur in question They were expecting that every 10th item would be something amazing. Like Magic Weapon or Equipment, or even a rare beast's core.

However, the black Tranquility Fabric was just an enhanced fabric that made it sturdier compared to other fabrics.

"I guess, we can use this to make some noble clothes but"

One of the merchants said but he knows that it wouldn't be that effective.

After all, nobles would normally purchase branded clothes. They will only be satisfied if they got it from shops that were extremely popular and sell expensive clothes. This wasn't just to show off their status but because of their habits as well.

Even if a normal merchant or common tailor managed to procure outstanding clothes. It would be impossible for them to sell it at a high price since their market would be commoners, warriors, or hunters who always gets their clothes damaged. As for nobles, it would be impossible to meet them unless you have a store that could accommodate them in the first place.

"Kid Do your best to get this fabric"

"Eh? Ah Yes, master!"

Diether was confused by Reiji's sudden instruction but he didn't ask any more questions and prepared his bid.

In any case, the auctioneer enlightened everyone.

"This Tranquility Fabric wasn't just an enhanced version of what you're aware of This fabric was dyed from the essence of the False Ivy's flower! With the help of three student's spiritual energy, they managed to confirm and ensure that the unique traits of the flower had shown to the fabric. Although the effect was minuscule compared to the real flower, we can assure you that the effect that it has would remain for at least three to four years!"

Diether now understood the value of this fabric The other participants who heard this were now wearing serious expressions on their faces.

Who doesn't know the existence of the False Ivy?*

These plants were used to ward off low-grade and even some of the mid-grade beasts. This was commonly being used in the villages or towns near the forests where a lot of beasts lives

Unfortunately, False Ivy would easily wither if they weren't properly taken care of.

"This product wasn't being sold to the public yet and was only included in today's auction due to the need of the students to earn more money to improve this product. The price will start at 45 gold coins!"

After the introduction, the warriors and merchants who were interested in the item started their bidding war.

"190 gold coins!"

One of the merchants who wanted to acquire the first product of the students for collection value bid the amount.

However, the others didn't falter with such a high price.

"250!"

"290!"

"340 gold coins!"

After reaching 300 gold coins, the bidders calmed down. It was already too expensive for just a fabric. If they wanted someone to wear it, they still have to hire a professional tailor to handle the fabric and to ensure the end product's quality.

Any normal tailor wouldn't do for this job since the fabric was enhanced by the student Arcanists. It would be a shame if the enhancements were destroyed or removed in the process of making clothes from it.

This time, Diether raised his number plate to place his bid.

"355 gold coins!"

"Whoa Someone was truly aiming for this, huh"

The previously top bidder muttered. The fabric's market price must only be 70 to 80 gold coins based on his calculation. The limit should be 300 gold at this point.

However, it seems that the young bidder truly wanted the item for his own...

'Anyway, it's not important to me I still need to get that item'

There were still a lot of items to be sold in this auction. An object that he was looking for was rumored to be sold here in the auction so he had to make sure that he still has some cash with him.

"355 gold coins! Going once, going twice, Sold!"

Diether was happy getting the fabric but the gorgeous auctioneer seems to be happier with that being sold.

"Master I did it Uhmm May I ask, what do you need this fabric for?"

"Well It just looks good for your Hakama and Keikogi"

Reiji answered as he chuckled for a bit.
