Magic Shop System

After dealing with Barret and Elder Jyn, Kadyn didn't linger around and opened the shop for customers. He waited for some time but no one appeared. Then he looked at Khrom who stood behind him and said. "Go, train inside the Practice Room. It is very beneficial to improve your willpower. It will help when you try to reach the Rank 1 magus."

As he said, a notification sounded in Khroms head.

[Energy Points +10→ 10]

Khrom eyed the points in surprise. After he became an employee, he naturally received his own interface in which he could see his status. At first, he was shocked when he heard the mechanical sound in his head. But after some time he had become accustomed to it. On the contrary, what surprised him was, 10 energy points, that he could be seen on his status window. He knew that he needed to earn these points if he wanted to enter the Library where all kinds of spells were stored or the Meditation Room where he could meditate or the Practice Room. 

An excited look appeared on his face but then he remembered something and his face became ugly. He turned towards Kadyn and shook his head. "These points are useless to me. I could never reach the Rank 1 magus after all."

Kadyn raised his brows and eyed Khrom before speaking. "You've eaten White Rosemary Flower?" 

"How do you…"

"You said you arrived in Avibria City a year ago. After three months you reached 9-star Elementary Rank." He glanced at Khrom and slouched on his chair as he continued. "What I've understood from your previous story, something happened after that time, and you became a wanted criminal. Tell me, is it possible to become a 10-star Elementary mage in such a short time without any resources?

"Furthermore even if you had resources, it still won't be easy to reach this level. If my speculation is correct, you have used the White Rosemary Flower or something similar, to forcefully awaken the final star."

Khrom sighed at Kadyn's words and nodded. "You are correct. I've used White Rosemary Flower. I was desperate to increase my strength. But at that time I had no idea that it had such a terrible drawback." He shook his head and sighed. 

Kadyn looked at him and took a deep breath before speaking. "Though White Rosemary Flower could awaken your star, it would contaminate your Mana Pool." He shook his head and glanced at Khrom and smiled. "Maybe it is not possible for me to purify your Mana Pool at the moment." Khrom's expression became dull after hearing his words. But then he looked at Kadyn and said with a surprised voice. "Not able to purify at the moment? Does that mean it is possible in the future?" his eyes were filled with expectation.

Looking at his eager face, Kadyn smiled and said. "You need to train inside the Practice Room if you want to reach Rank 1 Magus. After all, one needs strong willpower to merge all the stars."

"Alright," Khrom said. "I'll go and practice then."

Kadyn smiled and fell into deep contemplation.

"Hello, sir." 

At this moment a voice sounded. Kadyn lifted his head and saw a familiar face. His name was Epora, the same kid who helped Hicka last time. Though Hicka was a rotten egg, it didn't mean all the people around him were bad. "Oh, hello. What kind of service you want today?" Kadyn asked with a smile.

Epora said. "Sir, I want to meditate for five hours." Then he passed Kadyn five hundred dollars. 

Kadyn looked at the money and then eyed Epora before speaking with a gentle smile. "If you want to spend these five hundred dollars in meditation, then I would suggest you spend them in the upgraded version of the meditation room."

"What do you mean, Sir?" Epora asked with a confused face. Was there even a higher level meditation room here?

Kadyn smiled and said. "This meditation room is for Rank 1 Magus. However, Elementary Rank can also use it. Your speed will be far greater than before. What do you say?"

Epora's face was filled with disbelief when he heard Kadyn. Rank 1 Meditation Room that could increase the practice speed of the Spell Casters! He could not believe it. He had never heard about a magic shop that could support meditation of the Spell Casters. Magic shops main target audience was Elementary Rank Magus. After all, who would sell the thing to others that could support the practice of the Spell Caster?!

"Sir, Is that true?!" Epora asked with an agitated expression.

Kadyn was a little bewildered when he saw Epora's face that was filled with shock. Then he smiled and said. "Of course. You are my regular customer, that's why I've told you." Epora rolled his eyes at him when he heard this, but said nothing. Kadyn's face had become pretty thick after some practice, he didn't seem to notice Epora's expression and said. "Do you want to meditate inside the Rank 1 Meditation Room? The price is five hundred dollars for an hour."

Epora paused briefly and a hesitation appeared on his face. After all he didn't know about the effect of the Rank 1 Meditation Room. What would he do if the effect was worse than the five hours spending inside the Elementary Meditation Room? Wouldn't he lose today's pocket money in vain?

Kadyn saw the struggle on his face and chuckled. "Don't worry, I can assure you that the effect is far greater than the Elementary Meditation Room."

Epora gritted his teeth and nodded. "Alright, I'll see how effective it is."

"Good," Kadyn smiled as he sent Epora off to the Meditation Room.

As he sat on his chair, a huge smile appeared on his face, and he murmured. "It isn't easy to con...ah, no, I mean it isn't easy to convince others."

"Sir, sir, please save my child!" suddenly a panicked voice sounded. Kadyn looked towards the source of the shout and spotted a woman who looked around twenty-five or twenty-six, she had a pretty face, and slim body. Though her cheap clothes made her look ordinary. She held a child that looked around five or six years old, and her eyes were filled with tears.

"What do you want?" Kadyn asked after some hesitation. 

"Please, save my child, Sir." The woman said eagerly and showed the face of her child that was completely pale; his breathing was shallow, appearing as if he would take his last breath at any time. "I don't know what happened to him, but he fainted suddenly."

Kadyn thought for a moment and said. "I've got a healing potion. However, it is a bit expensive. You need to pay 2000 dollars."

"Two thousand?!'' The woman was left stunned when she heard the amount. She was just an ordinary housewife. Her husband was out to earn some money, even after working a whole day, he would only earn only thirty or fifty dollars. How would she pay such a huge amount?

"Sir, please help me...I-I would do anything…"

Kadyn didn't know how to appease the woman after all he wasn't a heartless man, he felt sympathy for her.

"What's happening here?" Elora walked out of the Potion Hall as she looked at the scene in front of her. Melvona was walking beside her. Her complexion had improved and Kadyn could see some rosiness on her small innocent face.

Elora glanced at Kadyn and asked. "Will you tell me what's going on here?"

He explained the situation to Elora. He was feeling conflicted as he wanted to help this poor woman. However, if he did something like that, won't others come in the future to ask for free help? After all, he was doing business, not a charity. 

Elora nodded after understanding the situation. She looked at the woman in front of her and said. "Alright, I will heal your son. However, you need to pay with something."

The woman looked at Elora and said hurriedly. "I'll do anything. Please, save my child."

"I don't want you to do anything." She shook her head and asked. "Can you cook?"

The woman was dazed for a moment, but she hurriedly nodded. 

Elora smiled and said. "Alright, you will be our cook from now on. After you pay us back with your work, you can leave or you can continue working. What do you say?

"What..." the lady didn't know what to say. She was completely speechless. This also work? Nonetheless, she still nodded and looked at her son's pale face, her heart pained. 

Elora arrived near the woman and placed her hand on the kid's forehead. Simultaneously, a green light released from her body and eight stars appeared under her feet. Then she shouted. "Heal!"

Immediately a green light covered the boy. Kadyn was left stunned when he saw this process. He knew the spell, Elora had cast, was the same he gave her some time ago. He had won it from the lottery. 

After a minute later, she pulled her hand off the child and a smile appeared on her face. "The boy is fine now."

The woman immediately fell on her knees, her heart was filled with gratitude at this moment. "Thank you, thank you so much."

Elora hurriedly held the woman and said. "Please, don't do that. I did that because I needed a chef. Otherwise, someone would make me eat restaurant food my entire life."

Kadyn rolled his eyes at her and asked. "What had happened to this child?" Elora's face darkened at his question. She looked at the woman in front of her and asked. "What did your son eat last time?"

Looking at Elora's grave expression, her heart skipped a beat. She thought for a brief moment and said. "He just drank milk in the morning." She looked at Elora and asked cautiously. "Is there something wrong, miss?"
