Chapter 133 Spade Agustus
Chapter 133 Spade Agustus
?
"A moron huh?" Lyrian questioned himself as he looked through the several items on the carpet, flipping them over and inspecting them all around.
The storekeeper simply stared at him with a confused expression as he said, "It's 5 points for each thing..."
Lyrian looked up, "5 points? Isn't that half of what a tier 3 creature core is even worth? That's a bit expensive don't you think?" Lyrian grinned slightly.
The kid seemed to be angered by this, "Shut up! You probably aren't going to buy it anyways!" He exclaimed.
Lyrian quickly responded, "Look, just tell me what you think the best item you have is, and if you're honest I might buy it."
The kid slightly pushed his head back, "What? So there isn't even a guarantee... argh! Whatever. Here, this is the only tier-four thing I have. It's from a Lightning Mane Lion." He said, handing over a beaded string with two large white teeth sewn onto it.
The teeth were 4 inches each in length. As Lyrian grabbed the string he could feel slight electrical current's going through it, 'Huh... Scan.'
The Scan ability allowed him to not only be able to Scan beings but also items, as stated by Gear when he first got the ability.
????Item Scan????
Name: Lightning Fang
Grade: D+
Description: The fang of a Lightning Mane Lion. Helps conjure lightning abilities slightly.
???????????????
'Helps with lightning abilities huh? That's a bit too advanced for me right now so I don't have any use for it in that aspect, but I could sell it I guess. Would it sell on the school grounds for credits though?' As Lyrian pondered this to himself, another kid suddenly knelt next to him, causing a series of chills to run down his back out of nowhere.
"Kozo, this is a Fire Fang right?" The kid wearing dark clothing said as he held up a small orange tooth, his deep crimson eyes looking at the store owner.
Although he was still looking at the Lightning Fang, Lyrian felt an ominous aura from the kid next to him. Looking up at the storeowner's kid, Lyrian saw that he was now on his rear. His face was pale, and almost even blue from shock and even a little bit of horror.
With his mouth already slightly agape, he said, "Y-Yes! It is, Sir Agustus." He bowed his head slightly as he spoke.
Confused, Lyrian then decided to look at the boy next to him. As he gazed at him, he noticed that he had seen his face before. The boy was smiling, but Lyrian could still almost recognize him.
Just then, as the realization hit him, he was slightly taken aback, 'Spade?' He thought to himself, as the boy turned to face him as well.
"Hello there, Lyrian Theageld. It's nice to meet you again after so long." He said, his tone almost kind sounding.
Lyrian paused for a moment to think before replying, "You know my name huh?"
Spade didn't hesitate to reply, "Who couldn't know the Black Sheep? You defeated that brat Silvus after all."
'He's calling Silvus a brat. Most normal people can't do that without fearing severe punishment, and he was also called sir by the store owner's kid. He must have some incredible backing then.' Lyrian quickly thought to himself in the middle of their conversation.
Spade suddenly stood up with the Fire Fang before throwing a tier 2 core at the storeowner, "I hope on the final day, you will be strong enough to pass." He said, before turning around to walk away.
'Strong enough to pass on the final day? What does that mean?' Lyrian thought to himself on this sudden remark.
"Wait," He said, prompting Spade to stop walking and turn his head past his shoulder toward Lyrian.
"The final day, is that when Yang will arrive?" Lyrian asked. If anyone were to know something like that, it would undoubtedly be Spade.
???d?s??vel.c?m Hearing this, Spade fully turned around, "I haven't the clue," He smirked widely before saying, "Hey... have you heard of a boy named Zoldith? He was supposed to be here by now. A fellow high-status noble, albeit, not near my level."
Lyrian didn't pause this time before answering, "I eliminated him." He said indifferently, keeping his gaze.
Hearing this, Spade stayed silent for a few seconds, as Kozo, the storekeeper kid in between the two, almost crumbled under the pressure that only he seemed to be feeling.
"Hm... okay, see you then." Spade suddenly said before turning around and walking away.
After he left, Kozo let out a heavy sigh of relief, "What the hell was that you bastard!? Are you trying to eliminate both of us!?" He suddenly yelled at Lyrian, who was still looking in the direction where Spade left.
On hearing this, Lyrian turned to face Kozo with a pair of serious eyes, causing Kozo to be slightly taken aback by fear, "We were not the ones in danger at that moment."
Kozo stuttered, confused, "W-What?"
After another few seconds of pausing, Lyrian said, "I'll take this" dropping a tier 3 and tier 2 core and leaving.
After this, he walked around the few other shops laying around for a while longer, dropping by another, weaker beast item drop shop, and a few trinket-selling ones as well.
The final shop was another trinket-selling one. It was less common than the beast part selling one, but it was still popular. Lyrian was initially slightly confused as to how one would get a supply of trinkets to sell in the exam, but seeing the two shopkeepers quickly made those confused thoughts go away.
The two shopowners were the kids at the entrance of the dome near the grasslands area where Lyrian first entered. He remembered they asked for his cores or something, but were nearly trampled as he sped on past them.
Lyrian neared the shop as the two kids looked at him with slight concern on their faces, 'They attempt to steal cores... so no wonder they would steal trinket's to sell as well.'
