Chapter 14: Emma Metis Wants to Try and Change
The same lake, the same lakeside pavilion.
But walking out of the lakeside pavilion and crossing the garden-style bridge led to a completely new world.
What rushed towards them was…
Hmm, the air of freedom! o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓
Students no longer needed to abide by the old school rules. A magic card from the costume change series could make you colorful and diverse.
"Screw you, school uniform!"
Dark even saw a usually serious senior student scream on the spot.
Her school uniform, which covered every important part of her body tightly, instantly transformed into a black lace-trimmed, bubble-sleeved, fitted, large-skirt dress that revealed large areas of her shoulders and collarbones.
Another senior student, with a watermelon-cut hairstyle and an honest look, even used a magic card to comb his hair back as he stepped off the bridge, completing the transformation from a watermelon cut to a slicked-back style.
His school uniform also turned into a fitted suit that showed off his figure.
And the magic card in his hand transformed into a bright red rose.
He inserted the red rose into his chest pocket and walked with vigorous strides, showing no trace of his previous rustic appearance.
Changing clothes, playing, dating, shopping, drinking, singing, dancing…
Traveler's Street was like a fairy village completely separated from Saint Marian, with everything Saint Marian didn't have!
And to enjoy all of this to the fullest, you only needed a little bit of academic credit!
…
Although the Academy Cup was held every academic year, as expected, no one would start practicing restraint at the beginning of the semester for the year-end competition.
Moreover, there was always a saying circulating within Saint Marian that wasn't quite applicable to the general public the more you spend, 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 spend1 freely.
Of course, there were also those who couldn't even afford to spend freely!
…
When Dark saw Virt and Robert again after wandering around Traveler's Street for a while, the two were walking out of a toy store in frustration.
Obviously, their nearly depleted academic credits were not enough to buy the toys they wanted.
Dark didn't have that much leeway to pay attention to others, so he just glanced at them and strode away.
Thus, he didn't see another academic credit tycoon, Emma Metis, who happened to pass by, being pestered by two inferior students.
…
Emma originally came to Traveler's Street to find some miscellaneous books not available in the academy library, but on the way, she suddenly noticed Dark, who looked like he was searching for something, and subconsciously followed him.
As a result, she fell into Virt and Robert's entanglement.
Exasperated, Emma said angrily, "So isn't it your own fault that you don't have enough academic credits? Even if a normal person hasn't earned any extra points, they should have 480 credits. What about you?"
Virt said awkwardly, "I have, 250…"
Robert's face turned red again, "Emma, we just want to borrow 5 academic credits from you! It's very simple for you, isn't it? We'll pay you back on Monday when classes start!"
Virt glanced at the new magic chess set displayed in the store and couldn't help but say, "Just 5 credits short!"
Emma looked at this classmate, known as the "Son of the Hero," and suddenly felt a little pathetic.
Then an idea emerged.
Her brows furrowed again, and she suddenly said seriously, "I can lend you the credits, but you must pay me back double. And for each day you delay, you have to pay me back double the credits! The second day is double the first day, the third day is double the second day, and so on. I only accept one lump sum payment. If you agree, I'll lend you the credits, with our House Cards as proof!"
Robert immediately agreed without hesitation, "Pay you back 10 credits tomorrow, 20 credits the day after, and 40 credits on Monday, which is just the credits from two classes. No problem!"
Although Virt felt that something was wrong, his eagerness to buy the magic chess set made him subconsciously ignore this strangeness.
With their House Cards as proof, and signatures on the contract, the two immediately rushed into the toy store and bought the latest magic chess set that could sing, dance, rap!
…
At the same time.
Dark, who had been shopping for a long time, finally found a store specializing in magic instruments Morgan's Shop.
Traveler's Street was filled with all kinds of general stores, and many cheap items could be bought in any of them.
But the [Magic Brain Dropper] was an alchemical tool with extremely high professional requirements, and the price was also very expensive, only likely to be found in specialized stores.
Dark searched for a long time before finding Morgan's Shop in the gap between two jewelry stores.
He pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and immediately smelled a musty, damp odor.
"Little thing, don't mess around. You can't afford to pay if you break anything."
One-Eyed Morgan behind the counter only pushed up his eye patch to glance, and knew that Dark must be a freshman.
And how many academic credits could a freshman earn in a month?
Morgan couldn't be clearer.
He unceremoniously issued an eviction order, "The cheapest thing in our store costs thousands of academic credits. This is not something a freshman like you can afford."
Dark glanced at the test tube set on the shelf and suddenly asked, "Just this set of test tubes costs a thousand academic credits?"
"This…"
One-Eyed Morgan was really stumped by the question, and after a long while, he said angrily, "Why isn't this set of constant temperature magic test tubes worth a thousand?"
Dark: "Then what about this beaker, this flask, this evaporating dish?"
One-Eyed Morgan slammed the counter and stood up, "Mind your own business!"
Dark shook his head. It seemed this boss had a bad temper and was a bit childish, or maybe he just happened to be having his monthly mood swings.
He didn't argue with One-Eyed Morgan and just looked around on the shelves.
There were test tubes and beakers, there was no reason there wouldn't be droppers, right?
"Flame Crucible, Fairy Spirit Alcohol Lamp, Magic Separator… Versatile Glass Rod, Magic Power Dropper…"
This Magic Power Dropper should be an inferior version of the Magic Brain Dropper, only capable of absorbing a little magic power.
A dropper was a short tube, with a narrow opening at one end and a rubber bulb at the other, used to measure liquids by drops.
But in the magic card making process, it was usually used to absorb magic power, knowledge, thoughts… and even souls!
Legend had it that magic masters would inject their souls into magic cards to create magic spirits with an intelligence level reaching standard 3.0!
The Magic Brain Dropper that Dark wanted was one grade lower than the Soul-Absorbing Dropper.
It wasn't an unattainable rarity.
But this shelf, indeed, did not have it!
He had no choice but to walk to the counter and wake up the One-Eyed Morgan who was awkwardly pretending to be asleep.
"Hello, boss. Do you have Magic Brain Droppers?"
One-Eyed Morgan didn't even look up, "What does a freshman like you need that for?"
Dark still maintained the necessary politeness, "For experiments."
One-Eyed Morgan raised his head, his gaze strange, but he still said, "Wait a moment, I'll go look inside."
After a moment, he actually took out a Magic Brain Dropper, but its condition wasn't very good.
